Chapter 473 Helping Younger Brother (6)_1
"Right, how are things going with Li Chengzhi?" Thinking of Li Chang’s son, Lady Ruan was more concerned about this issue.
Jin Lingling flicked her hair coquettishly and smiled confidently, "Mother, haven’t you seen it? That Li Chengzhi has eyes only for your daughter, not even sparing a glance for Jin Yuyu. With that being the case, is there a need to ask how things are?"
Lady Ruan had always been confident in her daughter’s beauty and smiled happily, "It’s Mother who has been overthinking. Indeed, how could that ice block Jin Yuyu compare to my daughter? Humph, it’s all because of your aunt. If your father were her own blood brother, would such a good opportunity have slipped by us? It’s truly different when they are not born of the same mother. On the surface, she speaks of treating everyone fairly, but what about in reality? The position of Family Head belongs to your uncle, the good man to her Jin Yuyu, and what does our second branch have? If your paternal grandparents were still alive, we wouldn’t have to live so oppressed."
Jin Lingling nodded vigorously in agreement.
However, they all forgot that when Jin Lingling’s paternal grandparents were still alive, Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop was nowhere near as successful as it is now! To speak fairly, the Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop can be said to have been built up bit by bit by Jin Yuyu’s paternal grandparents. Besides, the Jin family has a family rule: the position of Family Head is passed to the eldest, not necessarily the most capable. Other children with abilities are entirely free to strike out on their own.
If it weren’t for Old Lady Jin taking pity on Jin Xucai, who was orphaned at a young age, and adopting him, he might well have been sent to the countryside by the clan by now.
It’s one thing for this second branch family not to be grateful, but to always covet what doesn’t belong to them is quite peculiar indeed.
