Chapter 178 - My Daughter In Law Is Not Someone Who Would Measure Someone’s Heart Like You
Actually by saying this , Madam Zhang was trying to remind Grandma Lin of the past . She was deliberately making it sound like as if Mother Lin was pretending to be sick all along so that they wouldn't ask her to do more work . As expected , Grandma Lin 's face turned black after listening to Madam Zhang 's words .
Mother Lin didn't say anything at Madam Zhang 's provocation and simply smiled " well , who would have thought that Doctor Gu 's prescription will work so well . A month drinking it and I feel like I have been? reborn "
Grandma Lin pulled a handkerchief out of her sleeves and wiped her face . Her face that was already gloomy enough turned even more ugly at Mother Lin's words - wasn't this bitch telling them off for not taking care of her ? Was she trying to say that if they took out hundred taels then she would have always had a healthy body ? Like hell ! If Grandma Lin had hundreds of taels then she wouldn't have to worry about her grandson's studies neither did she have to come here and ask for money for Lin Ze 's treatment !
Who would waste hundred taels on an old widow like Zhao Lan ? At the thought of how , her foolish grandsons were burning hundred of taels over their good for nothing mother like they were burning paper , grandma Lin 's insides were churning with anger .
But when she remembered her intention of coming here , she immediately suppressed her anger in her heart . Because once she gets money from Zhao Lan , it wouldn't be difficult for her to keep leeching on her grandsons again . She didn't even have to bring this jinx and her sons to her house and share her grains with them , Grandma Lin gave herself a mental pat for being so smart .
Grandma Lin smiled and said " we have come to talk to you "
Mother Lin went inside the house and said " come inside then "
Earlier , Su Wan had told her that she should be really careful because someone might come to cause trouble for her . Su Wan told her that since everyone was going out to work , some one might try to take advantage of their absence and cause trouble for her - Earlier Mother Lin thought that Su Wan was thinking too much - but now she realised that it was her , who was too simple minded .
Grandma Lin and Madam Zhang immediately entered the new Lin house and were shocked at the sight that greeted them . The last time they came the courtyard was barren and full of weeds but now in the corner of the garden was small water vat which was filled with fishes so? big? that they can feed on them for weeks .
On the southern side various flowers like roses , mock oranges and rain lilies were fluttering scattering their scents . These plants were what Lin Jing brought on his second trip to forest , he saw how excited? Su Wan was when she saw these flowers- so when he went to the forest the second time , he carefully dug out a few plants and brought them back with him .
Su Wan who wad ecstatic because of Lin Jing 's thoughtfulness , immediately planted these flowers in their courtyard to make it more lush .
Under the shed next to the big tree was an exquisitely designed dining table with seven chairs .And right next to it a few feet away was a small tea table with a pure white china tea set - with a delicate design .
Though it wasn't much compared to the rich missies and ladies of the cities , for poor folks like Madam Zhang and Grandma Lin who had never drank tea in their entire life - this was really something unique and rare .
' My goodness cried ' the mother and daughter in law pair in their heart these brats sure know how to live ! They are actually living a life like that of a rich family !
Madam Zhang who had always fancied the life of the town and cities felt her jealousy worsen even more . Her hot gaze was locked at the tea set but Mother Lin didn't bring them to where the tea set was kept instead she brought them to where she and her sons usually sit down and chat .
Madam Zhang couldn't hide the envy in her eyes , no matter where she looked every corner of the house was decorated comfortably . Even this extra table and chair had pillows on them , so that the person sitting on it wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Inside her head Madam Zhang already started calculating , once they talk it through Zhao Lan and convince her to help them , she would definitely take that tea set and these comfortable pillows with her ! The pillows at her home was too hard and old and they smelled so bad .
On the other hand Grandma Lin 's was full of heartache . She couldn't understand why her grandsons had to spend their money like this without caring a single bit about their financial situation . After all her grandsons money was her , so how could she not feel upset when they wasted their money like this ?
" these - doesn't these cost a lot of money ?" Asked Grandma Lin
Mother Lin shook her head "I don't know , its all Su Wan 's purchase. She is the one who is in charge of the money that comes in the house , I don't know what and how much everything costs "
Actually Mother Lin knew it all , Su Wan always confided with her before she was going to buy a thing . Only when she said yes , did Su Wan asked her sons to buy these things - Su Wan had never made a wasteful expenditure and only purchased what she thought was necessary for their comfort and happiness .
Grandma Lin and Madam Zhang 's eyes almost popped out . Su Wan was in charge of money ? If that was the case what will they be able to get from Zhao Lan ?
Madam Zhang 's mouth couldn't help but move and she blurted out " Zhao Lan you shouldn't let that little girl take charge over the financial situation of your house - today she in charge of your money tomorrow she will be in charge of your sons , who knows what she will do when that happens ? Won't she kick you out of the house because your high expenses ?"
Mother Lin looked at Madam Zhang with eyes full of sarcasm " when you ruthlessly ignored my health and made me work like a bull in your fields and house , I didn't see you worrying- neither of you cared whether I lived or died , as long as my sons brought money in your hands and I cooked warm food for your entire family while you sat back and lazed around . Su Wan has not once wronged me or my sons , she is the reason why I and my sons can live with our heads raised . She took every single coin from her dowry and helped my sons get over their predicament - some people loves to? measure someone's heart while they? can't measure their? own unlike them my Wan Wan is really filial? . My daughter in law is caring , loving and respectful towards me - if their is anything good in the house she will give it? to me first before my sons . That's enough for me to know what place I have in her heart "
