Chapter 18

Most of the guests dispersed in the morning, and there were not so many things going on in the mansion. Lin Jingtang, Mrs. Lin, the three brothers of the Lin family, Tang Qinglu, Lin Zhimei and his wife had dinner together.Lin Jingtang's other concubines and daughters were not used to eating with Mrs. Lin, so Mrs. Lin let them eat in her yard, and they were happy and at ease.

Although Lin Jingtang has many daughters, he treats them all the same. For some reason, except for Lin Zhimei and Tang Qinglu, the other daughters dare not talk to him. After they get married, they hardly talk to him when they return to their natal homes.

Lin Jingtang left after eating.As the head of the Lin family, he wants to catch up with old friends.

The moment Mrs. Lin put down her chopsticks after eating, everyone put down their chopsticks.The Lin family has a rule: if parents don't put chopsticks away, no one else can.

Mrs. Lin asked someone to put away the bowls and chopsticks, wiped her mouth and asked, "Yes, I heard that Grandpa has been in a bad mood for the past two days, is he feeling unwell?"

"Mom, grandpa is in good health. He even watered the flowers in the morning. I don't know if he is in a bad mood!"

Lin Zhike was puzzled. The old man was very healthy when there were outsiders these two days. As soon as the outsiders left, he slumped on the longevity chair and sulked. It was useless to coax him.

"Third brother, grandpa is in a bad mood, why didn't you tell us?" Liu Gongrong said.Liu Gongrong came to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law very early every day, and then went to help entertain the guests, and went back to his room to rest very late, so he was often not seen.

Although the Liu family is not richer than the Lin family, they are also well-known in Baiye County.Liu Gongrong has helped run the house since he was very young, and it has been 12 years since he was in his early twenties. He is always a bit more stable than his peers.

"That's right, you're not coaxing!" Lin Zhimei said happily.Liu Gongrong stepped on his wife's foot lightly, and Lin Zhimei knew that she had said something wrong, and she quickly lowered her head.

"Why don't I coax? You are the only one who can coax, why don't I see you!" Lin Zhike was so wronged that Lin Zhimei was so choked that she couldn't say a word.

Lin Zhike held his chin and said discouragedly, "Grandpa is often in a bad mood. I try to coax him in different ways. At first it worked, but now it doesn't work!"

Lin Zhike has been arranged by Mrs. Lin to make the old man happy since she was eight years old.When he was young, Tongyan Tongyu used to coax the old man to laugh. Lin Jingtang let him go out to do business since he was 15 years old. Although he was busy with business, he would take care of the old man when he came back. I don’t know when the old man stopped hehe Laughed, often looking so sad that I wanted to cry.

"Grandpa, this is an old problem!" Lin Zhihe said calmly.

"Grandpa is sick? I'm going to find a doctor!" Lin Zhimei stood up suddenly and walked out. Liu Gongrong grabbed her hand, "Don't worry, listen to what elder brother has to say."

"Grandpa is afraid that Qinglu will be taken back by the Tang family." Lin Zhihe explained.Everyone turned their attention to Tang Qinglu.Tang Qinglu smiled awkwardly. She also thought about going back to Tang's house, but every time she went back to Tang's house, Tang Anhe and Mrs. Tang never asked her to go back. Mrs. Tang often urged her to go back to Lin's house early.In contrast, the Lin family is her home.

"Zhimei, your young appearance is worrying!" Mrs. Lin broke the silence, and the atmosphere of the scene became less heavy.She closed her eyes helplessly, looked at Liu Gongrong when she opened them, and said with a smile on her face, "Gongrong, Zhimei's irritable temper is spoiled by us, you have to bear with me!"

"Mother, why do you say that about me?" Lin Zhimei muttered, she was brought back by Liu Gongrong and sat down.

"Mother, it is the greatest honor in my life for Gongrong to marry Zhimei, and I will treat her well." Liu Gongrong respectfully looked at Mrs. Lin.

"Husband, there are so many people!" Lin Zhimei lightly beat Liu Gongrong's arm, Liu Gongrong made a gesture to hold her in his arms, she gently pushed her, and buried her shyly in Liu Gongrong's arms.

Lin Zhi really couldn't get used to it, he looked at the two elder brothers, they were very calm, and thought to himself, the older brothers are the best.He looked at Tang Qinglu who was listening silently, she was also very calm!Tang Qinglu blinked at him, and he smiled and turned to Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin was the most calm of all, with no expression on her face.

"Tsk tsk tsk, everyone is watching, you are not ashamed!" Lin Zhike felt that he had to say something to reflect the current scene.

"Love is there, I can't help it, third brother will understand when he has someone he loves!" Liu Gongrong smiled.

"Husband!" Lin Zhimei pushed Liu Gongrong softly, with an envious smile on her face.

"Huh!" Now, everyone present shuddered, hugged their arms and rubbed them, goosebumps fell all over the floor!

"Mother, you just finished eating, don't worry about it!" Lin Zhike said in a low voice.

Mrs. Lin looked at the three brothers with weird expressions and said, "Envy me! If you are married, I won't care how you flirt with each other in public."

The three brothers looked at each other, and all turned to Tang Qinglu.Tang Qinglu had always been a bystander, and now she felt uncomfortable when she received the eyes of the three brothers begging for help!

They are all brothers from her own family, and Tang Qinglu's kindness is hard to turn down. No, she grabbed Mrs. Lin's hand and laughed, "Mother!"

"Gongrong, Zhimei!" Mrs. Lin spoke immediately, and her eyes turned to Liu Gongrong and Lin Zhimei. The three brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here!" Liu Gongrong and Lin Zhimei quickly sat apart and listened carefully.

"You don't need to be restrained in your own home. If there are outsiders around, you still have to be careful. Outsiders' mouths are poisonous, and it's not good for the ears. Gongrong, Zhimei doesn't understand anything, you have to be more careful!" Mrs. Lin was pertinent and consoling.

"Yes, mother-in-law!" Liu Gongrong nodded.He peeked at the three brothers, and now it was the turn of the three brothers to laugh and say nothing.

"Ma'am!" A maid hurried in.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Lin asked.

"Madam Gao is sitting in the opposite pavilion, looking this way from time to time." The maid said.

"Madam Gao? Madam Gao who made things difficult for mother on the day of grandpa's birthday?" Lin Zhimei stood up again.

The maid looked at Mrs. Lin and said softly, "Yes!"

"I……"

"Sit down!" Mrs. Lin yelled, and Lin Zhimei sat down angrily.

"Leave the clear dew, you go back!" Mrs. Lin arranged.

"Mother, she bullied you like that. This is her door-to-door challenge. I won't leave." Lin Zhimei complained.

"How can there be so many things?" Mrs. Lin was very calm, "In my house, Mrs. Gao still can't make any noise!"

"Zhimei, Qinglu knows martial arts, mother-in-law will be fine." Liu Gongrong persuaded.Lin Zhimei's temper is uncontrollable, and everyone is afraid of what she will do.

"You just bully me because I don't know martial arts!" Lin Zhimei muttered.

"If you know martial arts, the roof tiles in your house will be blown up for you!" Lin Zhike snorted.

"Third brother, you..."

"Okay, Zhimei, I think Mrs. Gao is probably here to please, we don't need to worry!" Lin Zhihe persuaded.Lin Zhimei stood up reluctantly.She was next to Lin Zhiping and suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise, "Second brother, why didn't I see you talking?"

"Second brother has something on his mind, let's go!" Liu Gongrong helped Lin Zhimei to leave.

Lin Zhiping did have something on his mind, he was always thinking about Bai Xiu.

"Mother, let's go!" Mrs. Lin nodded after Lin Zhiping finished speaking, and the three brothers left.
