Chapter 200 -201 – Who is the Outsider_1

Muniang gave her a sideways glance, “Then don’t eat.”

Mrs. Chui was actually somewhat afraid of Qiao Muniang. Let’s not mention having seen her hit people, just the way she looked at her was enough to make someone very cautious. She wasn’t foolish; she could tell at a glance who really had the authority in this household. Qiao Muniang was tolerant of them, although it was all for the sake of Mrs. Lin’s face, but if Qiao Muniang was truly provoked, she feared that she wouldn’t give face to anyone.

Mrs. Chui quickly tried to please her with a smile, “What are you talking about? We are a family, aren’t we? I am just giving you a heads-up. Of course, as a family, we don’t need to stand on ceremony. The food you usually have is pretty good already.”

With that said, she quickly stuffed several large slices of meat into her bowl, as if afraid of missing out.

Muniang had lost her appetite now, merely picking at the rice in her bowl.

Mrs. Lin kept adding dishes to Lin Yang’s bowl, her eyes still red, repeatedly asked how he had really been all these years. Qingya, who couldn’t stand it anymore, said, “Shouldn’t you, the elder Lady, be the one being asked this question? You and Lady have had a much rougher time these past years. Lin Yang doesn’t look like he’s suffered the slightest hardship, does he?”

The remark was clearly in defense of Muniang. Muniang cast a light glare at Qingya, “Go downstairs.”

With a sullen response, Qingya left.

Mrs. Lin looked at Muniang apologetically. Muniang understood Mrs. Lin’s predicament, torn between her daughter and her own brother, hand and foot, all her flesh. She wouldn’t want to part with either. Muniang was sensible and conceded. Mrs. Lin’s life had been hard, and Muniang didn’t want to leave her with regrets in her later years.

“Mother, spend some quality time with Second Uncle. After all, it’s been so many years since you’ve seen each other.”

At her daughter’s words, Mrs. Lin smiled, as if she were a child who had just received candy, “Ah!”

“Sister, you were chased out of the Qiao family, such a big deal, and you didn’t even tell me. I thought you were living well in the Qiao family,” Lin Yang said.

Mrs. Lin paused before turning her gaze toward Mrs. Chui, who was intently devouring her meat. Mrs. Chui nearly choked to death and quickly said, “Oh yes, we are all a family. You, a mother and child left with nothing after being expelled, didn’t think to come back to Yangzi. Isn’t this treating us as outsiders? Yangzi really cares about you, his sister. You didn’t even share such big news with us, aren’t you deliberately making Yangzi feel guilty?”

Mrs. Chui’s words were well-rehearsed, obviously prepared to vehemently deny the previous incident when Mrs. Lin came to her, only to be driven away.

Mrs. Lin was slightly taken aback, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.

After all, this was Mrs. Lin’s own issue. Since Mrs. Lin chose to remain silent, Muniang didn’t bother to say anything either. She would leave the couple be; in any case, she was certain that Lin Yang was tightly under Mrs. Chui’s thumb. Even if he really learned about the fact that Mrs. Chui had turned Mrs. Lin away back then, what could he do? Mrs. Chui would likely just have to make a fuss and he wouldn’t dare to let out a peep.

In her heart of hearts, Muniang looked down on such a man.

Mrs. Chui hastily changed the subject, “If you ask me, that Qiao family is just inhumane. Why did they throw people out like that? Eldest Sister had a child back then and they didn’t even give her a penny. And to think that they even produced a ‘Mr. Scholar’, with the way they conduct themselves, it’s shameless! If it were me, I’d rather die with my child at their doorsteps than let them live in peace!”

Muniang glared at her, and Mrs. Chui quickly realized she had misspoken, covering her mouth and saying, “Oh, look at me, my mouth deserves to be slapped. When it comes down to it, the Qiao family deserves their lack of good fortune. Now that your family is so wealthy, they must be green with envy. Let’s just flaunt our wealth; we shouldn’t give them a penny!”

Her tone was filled with righteous indignation, making Muniang want to slap her!

Lin Yang tugged at Mrs. Chui’s sleeve and said, “Stop bringing up those distressing matters. It hasn’t been easy for Eldest Sister these years, and dwelling on the past isn’t good.”

Mrs. Chui slammed the table and said, “That’s right! Now that we’re living well, why bother with the past? The Qiao family didn’t want you, which is their loss. From now on, we Lin Family will stick together!”

Mrs. Lin was taken aback and hadn’t had the chance to speak when Mrs. Chui continued happily, “Eldest Sister, we’re nothing like those ungrateful wolves at the Qiao family. In the end, you were just an outsider who married into them; you can’t be close to them. But we’re different, we Lin Family members all share the same blood in our bones. I see that your family has made quite a bit of money now, though I don’t know what assets you have. It must be hard for Muniang to manage it all on her own, so why not let Yangzi come and help out? We’re all relatives, and it’s good to look out for one another.”

“Oh, right, I’ve just remembered, you’re in Chatu Town and we’re in Jinyang Town. It’s so inconvenient to go back and forth. How about this: we’ll find a day to move in with you right here. This estate is so large, there must be plenty of empty rooms. I saw that the eastern wing room in the backyard is quite spacious; it would be perfect for us as a couple.”

Mrs. Chui had thoroughly explored the estate upon her arrival. Obviously, the two rooms in the main house, east and west, were for Muniang and Mrs. Lin, and there were several rooms in the backyard. But the eastern wing room was the largest and best furnished, and Mrs. Chui had set her sights on it the moment she saw it.

Muniang’s face was cold and she said nothing. If she opened her mouth now, she wouldn’t be able to hold back her curses.

Mrs. Lin looked at Muniang and said uncomfortably, “The eastern wing room in the backyard is where Qinghe is staying to rest during her pregnancy.”

“What!?” Mrs. Chui nearly jumped up, looking at Qinghe, who sat beside Muniang with a large belly, and scrutinized her with a strange gaze. “Who is this? She’s not some concubine picked up by Erlang, is she?”

Qinghe glared at Mrs. Chui, about to explode with anger, but fortunately, Mrs. Lin quickly smoothed things over, “She’s Muniang’s friend, the sister of Chengzi from the village. Her family only has her brother, and Muniang brought her here to stay because she was worried her brother wouldn’t take good care of her.”

Mrs. Chui immediately looked down on Qinghe with disdain, “So she’s just a freeloader. Look here, Eldest Sister, we really need to recognize who is close and who isn’t. We’re flesh and blood relatives. Why should we let an outsider take the good dwelling and put up with shoddy accommodations for our own people?”

With a “smack!”, Muniang hit the table with her chopsticks, sweeping a cool gaze towards Mrs. Chui, “Naturally, we won’t make you stay in a small room.”

Mrs. Chui, who had been frightened by Muniang’s action, felt a surge of joy at these words, “I knew Muniang was sensible, surely Aunt didn’t dote on her for nothing—”

Before she could finish, Muniang cut in coldly, “Don’t even think of getting a room in our house. Even if our place were falling to ruins, we wouldn’t give you one. Finish this meal quickly and leave. It won’t be convenient to go back to Jinyang Town if it gets too late.”
