Chapter 525: A Fitting Match

"Isn’t that a bit too much?"

Li Hongmei, that self-centered opportunist, is probably enjoying herself somewhere.

Once she’s spent all her money, she’ll naturally come back.

Lin Chuxia doesn’t believe Li Hongmei would be caught by traffickers.

"Li Dongmei got married?" Lin Chuxia is rather interested in this.

"Huh, you don’t know about this?" Sun Lanlan’s eyes sparkled, noticeably more excited.

"Let me tell you..."

Sun Lanlan relayed to Lin Chuxia about Li Dongmei’s premarital pregnancy, and how the man’s family, because she was pregnant, refused to send the promised household goods — aiming to get something for nothing.

As soon as she heard the last name Zhang, Lin Chuxia knew she hadn’t seen wrong that day; these two indeed got together.

Lin Chuxia found it interesting.

No one knows better than her how determined Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei were to marry city men.

But Zhang Wenbin, that rotten guy, Li Dongmei couldn’t see through him, and Lin Jiayi, who reincarnated, surely knows.

Seems like her good sister is eager to watch the spectacle too.

Li Dongmei and Zhang Wenbin?

Quite a match.

No surprise knowing it was Zhang Wenbin.

This is exactly the kind of thing the Zhang Family would do.

"How do you know so much about this?" Lin Chuxia was curious.

Given the Zhang Family’s nature, even if they did something like this, Zhang Wenbin should have kept it under wraps, it shouldn’t be all over the streets.

Sun Lanlan chuckled, "The reason I know so clearly is because of your good sister, oh by the way, don’t think about going back to your parents’ home soon, it’s quite chaotic there now, can’t go back."

Lin Chuxia nodded, "Not going back."

Getting her assurance, Sun Lanlan continued, "You have no idea how bizarre the Li Family is. The Zhang Family didn’t give the promised goods because Li Dongmei was pregnant, but instead of going to the Zhang Family to vent their anger, they asked Li Guangyuan to pay to buy those goods for his sister as dowry. They said Li Dongmei without those things can’t stand tall in the Zhang Family, don’t want the daughter to suffer grievances, said the dowry must be added, Li Guangyuan has made some money selling vegetables these years, he cares for his sister, Old Mrs. Li asked him to buy it, he surprisingly agreed without a second thought, he’s about to use all his savings, but Lin Jiayi is not having it, almost fighting to death with Li Guangyuan..."

Lin Chuxia could imagine that scene.

Not to mention that Lin Jiayi was selfish by nature.

Li Guangyuan is her husband, the money her husband earns naturally belongs to both of them, and it’s not unreasonable for Old Mrs. Li to ask them to add to Li Dongmei’s dowry.

After all, when a sister marries, it’s expected for older brothers and sisters-in-law to contribute a part to the dowry.

The problem lies in Old Mrs. Li opening her mouth as wide as a lion.

These days those goods are not easy to buy, equivalent to asking for a car and a house in later years.

Li Guangyuan’s money in Lin Jiayi’s eyes is hers, how could she possibly give it all to buy dowry for her sister-in-law?

And on Old Mrs. Li’s side, one is an adopted son, one is a biological daughter, naturally, she won’t let the biological daughter suffer.

"And then?"

Lin Chuxia knew Li Guangyuan’s character, an eye only for his mother and sister due to his mother’s manipulative influence.

Wasn’t sure if Lin Jiayi’s temperament gained any upper hand during the confrontation.

"And then?" Sun Lanlan exaggeratedly widened her eyes, "You wouldn’t guess, I didn’t either. It’s said people in the countryside prefer boys over girls, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone prefer girls over boys. Old Mrs. Li saw Lin Jiayi and Li Guangyuan having a big fight, and Li Guangyuan was a bit hesitant, even threatened that if Lin Jiayi kept interfering, they might get divorced. You won’t believe how the Daqing Mountain Village and Xiaoqingshan Village talk about Old Mrs. Li now, everyone has something to say."

Lin Chuxia sneered inwardly, this is truly something Old Mrs. Li could do.

In her eyes, Li Guangyuan, the adopted son, is just cattle and horses for the Li Family, contributing to their household.

...............

Daqing Mountain Village, Lin Family

Mother Lin watched her grandson flipping through boxes tirelessly, and said to Lin Jiayi on the bed, "I say, you’ve stayed at your parents’ house for quite some time now, what’s with staying at your parents’ house all the time?"

Lin Jiadong is already in junior year of high school, if he doesn’t get into college after senior year, it’s time to start settling down and talk about marriage.

Need to know having an older sister who frequently stays at her parents’ house, no family’s daughter would want to marry in.

Lin Jiayi was cracking melon seeds on the bed, said indifferently, "Why can’t I stay at my parents’ house, I don’t want to go back to that home, I get angry as soon I get back there, Li Guangyuan just listens to his mother, doesn’t he? Doesn’t he want me to get divorced? This time I’ll grant him that, let him go with his mother."

Thinking about all her hard-earned money being snatched away by her sister-in-law; she didn’t even have those goods when she got married, Lin Jiayi wished she could tear Li Dongmei’s face apart.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have given Li Dongmei that idea, let the Zhang Family looked down on her and make her suffer for a lifetime.

Mother Lin raised her voice a few levels upon hearing this, "What divorce? Where would you go after divorcing? Let me tell you this first, your brother hasn’t got married yet, don’t embarrass me with this disgraceful act."

"How am I embarrassing? Don’t you know what Li Guangyuan’s mother has done?"

Lin Jiayi has never heard her mother speak so harshly before, her eyes instantly reddened.

"I know, so you’re annoyed with me? In your eyes, Jiadong is the most important, but I’m your daughter too. Don’t you know what life I’m living now? Fine, if you really think I’m embarrassing, I might as well die, then I won’t come back to trouble you..."

Lin Jiayi said as she was about to land and get dressed, Mother Lin felt the words were too heavy too.

Her daughter’s temper has been fierce since childhood, any harm, she would surely be heartbroken.

"Look at your temper, I’m just thinking if you get divorced and have a child, life would be hard, still thinking for you."

She persuaded Lin Jiayi back to the bed, and softly said, "Anyway, Li Guangyuan is capable. Old Mrs. Li can only live a few more years. When she closes her eyes, won’t it all be up to you? But we also can’t let this matter pass, let your brother deliver a message to Li Guangyuan when he returns for the weekend, summon him so your father can talk to him properly, about whose money it is going forward."

"That’s more like it," Still Lin Jiayi frowned at this point, "Even if you say it, it’s useless, his mother says a word, even if the money is with me, it can get deducted, Isn’t it obvious this time."

"Then it’s easy, if you have money in the future, give it to me, I’ll save it for you."

Lin Jiayi’s eyes flashed at the words, "We’ll see, but also let dad handle it, we won’t divorce, but he can’t listen to Old Mrs. Li anymore, otherwise, I really don’t want to live the life with him, just thinking that loser, I’m irritated looking at him."

Lin Jiayi unwillingly admitted it, understood now, in the past life, Li Guangyuan was respected as President Li mainly because of Lin Chuxia’s support.

Otherwise, he would be selling vegetables all his life.

In the end, she was deceived by Lin Chuxia.

Mother Lin was also deeply regretful, "Back then I thought Li Guangyuan was no good, but you insisted he was capable. Speaking of capability, wasn’t college student Qin Yang more capable? You were bewitched, and insisted on marrying Li Guangyuan. Now look, only seeing the second having a good life, and he’s a heartless ingrate, wouldn’t support the family at all..."

Lin Jiayi turned away, didn’t want to hear these words at all.
