Chapter 451: Returning to Qingshi Town (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

God knew that ever since they split up, the old couple had been living a much worse life with Lin Yuanshan.

He had to spend a lot of money to go to the academy. He had to pay 3 taels of silver every month. Occasionally, when he came back from his vacation, he would ask them for extra money.

She and her husband had no other income, so they had to control their expenditure.

It was not just a matter of money. Now, the two of them had to do all the chores at home and in the fields themselves.

She was no longer a hands-off mother-in-law, just like how she used to order her sons or daughters-in-law around.

A while ago, her husband caught a cold.

She went to their children.

None of the three ingrates were willing to help out with the work and serve the old man.

Not only that, her three daughters-in-law scolded her.

The shrew that their fourth son married, who was three years older than him, was a widow with two children. She never liked her.

This time, not only did she scold her, she even splashed water on her.

If she hadn’t escaped quickly, the water would have almost splashed on her.

Sigh, fortunately, Lin Yuanshan took a long vacation the next day.

Otherwise, she really did not know what she could do on her own.

Humph! She shouldn’t have given birth to them.

Next year, when Lin Yuanshan passed the examination, none of them was allowed to get close to him!

“Hehe, what are you saying, mother? Brother will naturally be the most promising in the future!”

“He almost passed last time, so he’ll definitely pass next year.”

“In the future, if he becomes a scholar, you will be able to have some face even if you meet the officials.” Lin Lanhua replied with a smile. She deliberately said what her mother liked to hear.

In fact, she despised Old Madam Lin and Lin Yuanshan very much.

When she was married, she was angry and unwilling.

She was a delicate little girl, but she was actually going to marry an old man and be his concubine.

However, when she arrived and experienced the life of a wealthy family, she did not feel wronged at all. Instead, she felt lucky.

The food and facilities of a wealthy family were simply worlds apart from a peasant family like the Lin family.

How should she put it? Even the maids here ate better than she used to.

So what if she was a concubine? The wife had died a long time ago, and none of the four concubines in the Liu family were as young and beautiful as her.

Her husband said that as long as she could give birth to a son and a daughter for him, he would upgrade her status to his wife.

At that time, she would have the final say in all matters.

Thinking of something, a flash of splendor flashed across Lin Lanhua’s eyes.

Moreover…

Haha, actually, it wasn’t that important whether she was the wife or not.

After all, with the Old Master’s body, he probably wouldn’t be able to last long.

However, the eldest young master was young and strong, and he was very fierce…

Lin Lanhua’s face flushed red as she thought of something.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before she got pregnant.

When Old Madam Lin heard Lin Lanhua’s words, she felt very pleased.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Lin Lanhua rubbing her stomach.

At first, she was stunned, but soon, her face lit up with joy.

“Aiyo, Lanhua, are you pregnant?” She looked at Lin Lanhua’s stomach in surprise.

Her son-in-law was already in his sixties. If Lanhua was really pregnant, she would be treated like a treasure.

If Lanhua could really give birth to a son and a daughter for her son-in-law, she might really be able to become the mistress of the Liu residence!

As the mother of the Liu family’s mistress, would she still be worried about her life?

Not only she and her husband, even her son would be able to enjoy a good life.

With the support of Lanhua’s husband, it was only a matter of time before he became a scholar.

“Lanhua, are you really pregnant?” Lin Dachui also looked at Lin Lanhua’s stomach with a burning gaze. His thoughts were obviously similar to Old Madam Lin.

The old couple’s words interrupted Lin Lanhua’s thoughts.

Seeing the greed in the old couple’s eyes, Lin Lanhua felt disgusted, but she was still smiling.

“Not yet,” she smiled.

Then, she removed her hand from her abdomen.

The old couple immediately looked disappointed.

Lin Lanhua felt even more disgusted, but she held it in.

“However, 1 might be soon.” As she spoke, she said shyly.

The old couple was delighted again when they heard that. They looked at Lin Lanhua’s stomach again.

It was as if there were gold ingots there that could make them rich.

“After 1 got married, Old Master’s body slowly became better.”

“He said I’m his lucky star and loves me very much.”

“Moreover, he also said that as long as I can give birth to a son and a daughter for him, he will make me his wife.” Lin Lanhua said with a smile..
