Chapter 468 - Stomped Under Her Foot

Lin Che shuffled uncomfortably, he was afraid that if he said the wrong thing he will be beaten by his mother next. His mother didn"t even think about it before hitting his grandma and father, if he said anything that made his mother upset with him then most likely he will be beaten by a broom as well. Lin Che shivered and awkwardly rubbed his hands as he looked at his mother " I... I want to return too, mother but our family doesn"t have much money and father is still hurt, and my body isn"t feeling well too. The refugees were really cruel, mother you have no idea how brutal they were"

Zhang Xiaohui sneered, she had been hearing the same thing over and over again, she wasn"t a fool anymore. This kind of excuse can work once, twice and even thrice but it can"t work every day can it? Zhang Xiaohui wasn"t a greedy and vain woman anymore but she still hoped that her son would make use of the opportunity that was given to him and not make any mistake by taking it for granted, how many children from the village can get the opportunity to study in an academy like Lin Che?

Her son was given such a good opportunity but instead of using it properly, he keeps making excuses like this what does this mean? His body was still hurting where was it hurting from the past month he has been eating and sleeping well enough, hasn"t he? Even drinking fish soup that she caught once in a while, so how come he was still hurting?

At first, Zhang Xiaohui really believed his rainbow farts but now she knew that her son was just trying to make a fool out of her!

Though Zhang Xiaohui wasn"t fooled that doesn"t mean that no one else was fooled, Old madam Lin and Lin Ze"s eyes immediately reddened as Old madam Lin growled at Zhang Xiaohui " look, look.. even my dear grandson knows that his father is hurt. What about you? You actually chased your husband around the house with a broom-like that little shrew, no shame at all! Have you eaten all your manners and morals? How dare you raise your hand on your husband and mother in law! Just you wait, I will definitely go to the Zhang house and ask how they taught you- Ahhhh! What are you doing!"

While old madam Lin was cursing at Zhang Xiaohui, she stopped paying attention to the broom in Zhang Xiaohui"s hand thus, she didn"t notice it coming towards her until it hit her right on the mouth with a bang! Old madam Lin was shocked! She covered her mouth which was smacked as she stomped her feet on the ground like a child, her eyes which were only red started br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears at once, she really wished she could tear up Zhang Xiaohui in pieces!

This pigheaded actually hit her in the mouth! Ow! Ow! Ow! Her mouth was hurting so bad, it felt like she was stung by countless bees! The broom was so hard, it scratched her skin!

" Zhang Xiaohui!" Lin Ze who ducked when he saw that his wife has raised the broom in her hands. Although he was feeling a bit guilty but that guilt morphed into anger pretty easily as he stared at Zhang Xiaohui, he glared at her like he wanted to eat her alive but Zhang Xiaohui didn"t even flinch much less look away from his glare.

She stared right into his eyes and yelled " Don"t shout, I know what my name is! But you better shut your d.a.m.n trap before I make you forget what"s your name!"

Lin Ze was a thin and lanky man, and he was lazy to his bones. Forget about taking Zhang Xiaohui down he might end up being squashed by her! So, even though he was angry.. he could only shut his mouth and glared at his wife hatefully.

" And you!" Once she was done dealing with her husband and mother in law, Zhang Xiaohui whirled around to look at Lin Che who shrunk his head like a quail " you have been saying the same thing again and again, Ah Che. Do you think your mother is a fool? You keep making excuses and there Lin Rui is selected as one of the students to go to the prefectural city to attend the lecture of a famous scholar! The one who ranked no.1 in the officials" exams. You have been studying in the academy for so many years yet you couldn"t even get a green flag from your teacher to give the county exam and yet Lin Rui only stayed in the academy for two or three months and he is already partic.i.p.ating in such a great thing, such opportunity why didn"t you get it?"

Zhang Xiaohui no longer expected her son to become an official but she hoped that he could at least study well and somehow stand on his own two feet. As long as he studies well, he will be accepted as a manager or an accountant in a good shop, the salary of an educated person wasn"t low after all!

" What?"

" What?"

Zhang Xiaohui"s sudden declaration caused many ripples to rise in the Lin family, Old grandma Lin and Lin Ze exchanged a glance and their expression turned black.

Especially, Old madam Zhang. She has always hated the first wife of old man Lin, it could be said that even after marrying her after the death of his first wife, Old man Lin often missed his first wife. Thus, Old madam Lin always hoped that the first branch of the Lin family will always be stomped on by her but instead of becoming her stepping block, those brats were getting better and better!

Lin Ze"s expression wasn"t good either, when he was a child his father would often pay attention to his eldest brother because he was a lot better at him in everything, which was why Lin Ze never once felt guilty of letting his brother drown, he thought that as long as his elder brother was gone no one would compare him to Father Lin, it"s true that no one compares them anymore but now his son is the one who was being subjected to this unfair treatment!

Lin Ze"s eyes darkened with a mysterious glint in them.
