Chapter 241: Si Chen Arrives
Tong Yaohui acted high and mighty in front of them because they were the younger generation. However, when it came to dealing with his sister-in-law and sister, he would surely show his due respect, wouldn’t he?
Once at the scene, the two women could execute their plan to cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide. Tong Yaohui would certainly be forced to compromise.
"Let’s proceed with this idea." Tong Sikui thought the plan might actually work. After all, no matter how shameless Tong Yaohui was, he wouldn’t possibly resort to physically assaulting his sister-in-law and sister.
After discussing the plan, Lin Shuxin steered the conversation towards Tong Yao, deriding: "I don’t know what your uncle was thinking, selecting such a pauper for Yaoyao’s in-laws. It’s no wonder they’re fighting with us for the property. This was probably Yaoyao and her husband’s idea. If they had chosen someone capable from Kyoto, they wouldn’t be eyeing the minimal wealth of the Tong family. It’s such a waste of a fine daughter, ruining a perfectly good situation."
Sikui was puzzled by this as well, "I heard Si Chen’s education was funded by uncle. Uncle must have gotten senile to choose a son-in-law who aims for the wealth of the bride’s family. To be honest, I can’t respect such a man. It’s shameful for our male brethren."
Listening to the latter part of the conversation, Lin Shuxin’s expression became a bit odd. He felt that Tong Sikui’s words were directed at him. After all, his mother was also married into another family, and their current home, his maternal grandfather’s estate, was the property everyone was fighting for.
Speaking of which, his father was really irresponsible. Not only was he lazy during his youth, but he also had a gambling addiction. He had gambled away their house. If it hadn’t been for his maternal grandfather’s sympathy, letting them move in, their family would probably still be cooped up in the small, two-room house with their grandfather.
In fact, he hoped to sell his grandfather’s house soon. Once that was done, they would get a share of the money which can be used to buy a new apartment. The current house didn’t even have a bathroom; living there felt suffocating.
