Chapter 731 - 084 Tricked people again_4
"How could I not believe? Those two from the third branch are always fighting, aren’t they? But it’s always the third brother who gets beaten, and you’re telling me that you heard his wife wailing? Of course, I didn’t believe you." "No, sister-in-law, I really did hear the third brother’s wife crying. Could it be that the third brother hit her? Right, why haven’t we seen the third brother’s wife today? She should normally be here. Don’t tell me she’s at home looking after the kids?"
"Her? She doesn’t care about the kids. She’s dumped them on Old Lady Lin. But why hasn’t this woman shown up? Could she have gone back to her parents’ home? Oh, this is going to be a scene, with Li Feng’e’s temper, trouble is bound to happen."
"Ha, as if the Lin Family Old House isn’t already full of troubles. I’ve heard the old man is not doing well, and look at Old Lady Lin, she’s all skin and bones now. Oh right, these past few days, have you heard any kind of noise from the Lin family, uh, like a very painful howl?"
"Not at all, your house is closer so you’d hear it clearer than us. I’ve only heard Lady Ma crying over her son."
"Maybe I heard wrong? No way, I must listen closely again tonight."
Lin Yuan wasn’t particularly concerned about the wails, but she was indeed very interested in Lin Jiaxiao and his spouse’s issues. She arched an eyebrow slightly and the corners of her mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. Fights between Li Feng’e and Lin Jiaxiao were nothing new, but if Lin Jiaxiao really laid hands on Li Feng’e, now that would be news.
Lin Jiaxin also came out to follow his daughter on Lin Yongle’s final journey, but when he saw his older brother looking seemingly ten years older overnight, he just couldn’t bear it. Nothing could be more tragic than an elder burying a younger; he knew the pain all too well, having experienced it himself, and thus he felt profound sympathy for Lin Jiazhong.
He sighed and turned away, but then he caught sight of Lady Yang’s hunched, slight frame among the people on the street. Seeing her pale hair, face full of wrinkles and tears, Lin Jiaxin couldn’t help clenching his fists. Even though they had cut ties, this woman was still his mother, and seeing his own kin in such a state made him deeply uneasy.
"Let’s go, we’re heading home." Tugging at his daughters’ hands, Lin Jiaxin turned his head to wipe the corner of his eye before leading the way home.
