Chapter 541 Wild rumours

"Just five taels?" Old madam Lin screeched as she looked at the five taels that Zhang Xiaohui gave to Lin Yunxi. She was most definitely upset at this treatment, she was her mother in law, no matter how badly she might have treated that woman, she should have listened to her and returned, and if she wasn"t willing to return for her then she should have at least returned for her children, how can she wipe her hands after giving five taels to them? What about the rest of the money? What about those gold jewellery? What about the work that was still left to do in the fields who was going to do all of that? " What was she trying to do? Dismiss a beggar? Three taels are Che"er"s academy fee and there is also money needed to buy pen and papers, how can she just give you guys five taels and be done with it? I mean she was the one who gave birth to you!"

Old madam Lin was surely funny, she was the one who wanted to cut off relationships with Zhang Xiaohui at first and because she was worried that Zhang Xioahui would cling to Lin Che after the latter made it big, she immediately pulled her two grandchildren away from Zhang Xiaohui and even had her write that doc.u.ment where she firmly stated that she will have no relation with the Lin family and her children but now that troubles were knocking on their door, Old madam Lin suddenly realised that Zhang Xiaohui was the birth mother of Lin Yunxi and Lin Che.

Lin Yunxi shrugged, her expression was full of discontentment. She too expected that her mother would return with them to the family and everything would be alright just like before but she never expected that her mother would be so selfish that she wouldn"t even care about them, she just gave them the bare minimum and wiped her hands off the responsibilities that she has as their mother. " She only gave us this much if you want to ask more from her then you have to go and talk with mother, grandma, she wasn"t willing to listen to us at all."

" that"s right, Grandma," said Lin Che as he heaved a heavy sigh as if he was full of disappointment towards his mother. " We apologised and asked her to come back home with us but instead she gave us these five taels and asked us to return home saying that she wasn"t the only parent that we had."

When Lin Ze heard this, his expression turned grim. He was both upset and angry with Zhang Xiaohui, no matter what they were still married for more than twenty years, how can she just brush him off her life just like that? If he didn"t know his wife well, he would have thought that she had someone else just like him.

Grandma Lin was even more upset. What was the meaning of this? Did she mean to say that Lin Ze should alone take care of these two children of his? If he had the ability would they be living a life like that? Old madam Lin knew her son well and she knew that if she didn"t bring Zhang Xiaohui back in these circ.u.mstances then she would really starve to death.

No, she couldn"t allow that to happen, she needed to do something and fast!

———

No matter how fast old madam Lin was she was nowhere as fast as a certain someone.

The next day wild rumours started to spread around in the Dong Tong village.

Apparently, Xing Bengt has offended someone in the town and the person he offended was a big official because of his grave mistake —— the entire Xing family was punished to be executed and everyone working under the Xing family lost their jobs including Lin Ze who was acting like a nouveau rich from the past few days. Because of his sudden unemployment, the young lady called An Xia whom he had an affair ran away and she also stole a bunch of things including money and grains from the Lin family.??ee???n૦?el coｍ

n.o.body knew who twisted the rumours later on but then a new bunch of rumours started to flow and according to them, An Xia wasn"t even pregnant with Lin Ze"s child. She was pregnant with the child of her boss and made Lin Ze the scapegoat for her child but then Xing Bengt lost everything and Lin Ze lost everything as well, worried that she would be bullied in the future, An Xia ran away after making the top of Lin Ze"s head green.

Old madam Lin who stepped out of the house to go and find trouble with Zhang Xiaohui heard the rumours and her entire vision turned woozy. If not for Lin Yunxi who was next to her, the old woman would have fallen to the ground and broken her spine… No wonder, No wonder that girl ran away like that she knew that with Xing Bengt around she and her child would live a proper life but with him facing execution how will he be able to give her a comfortable life?

" That s.l.u.t!" shouted Old madam Lin as soon as her world stopped moving and she was able to stand up straight. The more she thought about it the angry she became, at first she thought that no matter what even if the money was lost, it will be spent on her grandchild but now that she knew that the kid didn"t even belong to her son, she felt as if someone was cutting a part of her heart along with her flesh.

So much money! All went to a b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s tummy!

She was so angry that she wished that An Xia"s womb would get torn and ripped apart by a bunch of dogs!

" Grandma, are we going to bring mother back now?" asked Lin Yunxi her expression was even nastier. She was sixteen and yet such nonsense regarding her family was floating around already. What was she going to do now?

" Going, of course, we are going." gritted old madam Lin. " One b.i.t.c.h ran away so what? The other one is still here!"

To think that two women ripped her family off one after the other!
