Chapter 303 Cling On
It didn’t take many kowtows before blood seeped from her forehead, yet she was unaware, "Little sister! Little sister! I’m here to apologize, to say I’m sorry! Please remember the times I held you, the times I took care of you, and speak a few good words for me! Little sister, I know you are the kindest, you surely won’t stand by and watch me return to the Lin Family to face my death! Little sister, if not for anything else, do it for the sake of Jindou and the others. If I could go back to the Wang Family, wouldn’t it make the daughters-in-law sound more honorable—"
"Enough!" Jinhoo couldn’t bear it anymore and strode up to Lady Lin, "You don’t need to ask anyone for help, it’s useless! None of us from the Wang Family will ever forgive you! Feel your conscience and ask yourself, when you came back demanding Divorse, think of the things you said—if it were you, would you forgive? When you wanted to get rid of Dad and us, fearing we might drag you down, you said and did everything to cut ties. Now it’s too late for regrets!"
With that, she pushed Lady Lin backward.
Already hungry and exhausted, Lady Lin was just holding on by willpower; pushed by Jinhoo, she fell to the ground with an expression of agony.
Jinhoo reached out to help her, but stopped mid-way.
Clenching her teeth, she turned and said, "Old Granny, can we give her two steamed buns?" No matter what, she was the one who had given birth to her; she couldn’t just watch her starve to death.
Old Granny Zhang’s face darkened, but before she had the chance to speak, Wang Yongzhu nodded, "Sister-in-law, get two buns for Jinhoo, and a bowl of water as well."
Lady Jiang agreed and hurried to the kitchen, snatching two mixed-flour buns and filling a bowl with rice soup to pass to Jinhoo.
Jinhoo thanked them, placed the buns and bowl beside Lady Lin, then turned around and closed the courtyard gate with her own hands.
Outside the gate, Lady Lin initially called out twice, but after a short while, her voice quieted down.
At breakfast, everyone in the Wang Family ate without much appetite.
