Chapter 207 - Who Is Good For Nothing
In the old Lin family
When Lin Zhi saw the empty container of rice in the kitchen her temper nearly exploded , it has been days she has last seen anyone filling this cylinder but she has sure seen her sister in law taking out bowls of rice from the cylinder . Her mother didn't buy rice whatever rice they were eating was the leftover from her nephews marriage reception as for her brother and sister in law , humph it was? better not to even think about it ! She hoisted the cylinder in one hand and then brought it in front of Grandma Lin who was chatting with Madam Zhang " mother, all the rice in our house is finished there isn't even a single grain left ! What are we going to eat now ?without rice I cannot prepare dinner "
Grandma Lin looked at her daughter's indignant expression then looked inside the empty cylinder , true to Lin Zhi 's words the cylinder had nothing inside . It was so clean that she could even see her old face in the bottom of the pot ! Her face immediately fell , earlier today she had been disrespected by Lin Chen and Zhao Lan , the two of them even made her fall flat on her butt and dirtied her clean clothes - thus , Old grandma Lin was already furious because of the blatant disrespect of those two - and now that her daughter was harping on her head about their family having no food her mood was even more sullen .
" What do you mean ' we have nothing to eat '? If there is no rice , you go out and look for wild vegetables or go to the river and bring some fishes !" Slamming the tea table next to her Old grandma Lin roared " why do you have to ask about even the smallest thing from me ? Do you really need to bother your old mother , if their is no rice then you search for wild vegetables ! You good for nothing , money losing daughter !"
Old Grandma Lin was biased over her son more compared to her daughter and coupled with her bad mood , she had no qualms about berating her daughter until her ears started bleeding .
Lin Zhi 's face expression changed and she angrily slammed the cylinder on the ground and roared even more furiously than Old Grandma Lin " what are you yelling at me for huh ? What do you mean by ' good for nothing money losing daughter ?' Don't forget that the reason? your precious grandson can study at that prestigious academy is all because I - Lin Zhi had to sell my virtue to a seventy year old man ! What good for nothing ! At least with my body I was able to earn twenty taels what about you all! Go ahead and wriggle your old ass*s in front of those rich masters and lord , lets see if they even look at your way ! I could bring twenty taels for this family and your grandson , has my brother ever earned two taels or my sister in law was able to bring twenty taels ! If I'm good for nothing than what are you all ? You are not even as good as a good for nothing , money losing daughter !"
" You … " Old grandma Lin was so furious that her chest started heaving up and down , she wanted to slap Lin Zhi until the latter became mute but before her hand could even hit Lin Zhi 's face , the latter smacked her hand back " you unfilial daughter !how dare you I am your mother , how dare you hit me !"
Seeing the enraged expression of her mother , Lin Zhi snickered " don't try to pull that stunt on me , because of your good deed - I am already called a low class hooker because I married an old man just because of his dowry . Do you have any idea how the villagers look down at me ?Every-time? they see me , they will call me money grubber slut who sold herself for rich dowry . I have to suffer so much all because of you ! For A dowry that didn't even reached me ! " the more Lin Zhi spoke the more her voice rose with anger as her eyes swarmed with tears " I could have been married to a honest , hard working farmer and lived a good life? but because of your greed I had to marry that jaundice face old man ! So even if you go around calling me unfilial it won't matter , after all the women the village already call me a seducing vixen because of my past and every time I go out the men in the village give me side eyes ! So with my reputation I have nothing to lose ! But I can't say about your precious grandson ! You? better not mess around with me or else -"
Madam Zhang could roughly understand what Lin Zhi was hinting at , she really despised this sister in law of hers . Not only did she returned to her natal home after the death of her husband , she also kept threatening them by using her son's reputation every now and then . However , Lin Che was her Achilles heel? thus even though she was upset , she pulled on her mother in law 's sleeves and spoke with a fake smile " sister in law its not that mother in law wants to blame you . Its just that you were the only one who stayed at home today while all of us went out to work ! Mother in law is just angry that despite being at home you didn't dig for them , now see what happened - we have no rice or vegetables , what are we going to eat ?"
" eat , eat , eat ! Or you know about is how to eat !" Lin Zhi kicked the rice cylinder and shouted indignantly " went out to work ? What work were the two of you doing ? And why should I be the one to rush at the old mountain and dig wild vegetables ? Your family eats the most while I only get a half bowl of rice ! Do you think that no one here knows that you wake up in the middle of the night to cook porridge for yourself and brother ! The entire cylinder of rice finished so quickly because your family couldn't stop their lapping tongues ! You want to eat but you don't want to work ? Why don't you just announce yourself as the lord of this house then ? Even my mother doesn't eat as much as your family ! " Then she turned to look at Old Grandma Lin and pointed at Madam Zhang " the cylinder was half filled with rice three days ago , you ask her where did the rest of the rice went ! "
When Old grandmother Lin heard what Lin Zhi said her entire face turned as dark as the bottom of the pan , as she turned to stare at Madam Zhang with a furious gaze . The gaze was so sharp that Madam Zhang felt her heart skip a beat ,inwardly she cursed at her sister in law for being so nosy . Night was the time when everyone slept but this long nosed Lin Zhi actually stayed awake and caught her cooking rice for her family ! If this wasn't a nosy person - who was !
Madam Zhang originally didn't want to quibble with Lin Zhi because she was afraid that this b!tch would go ahead and spread rumours about her son but after listening to all that bullsh!t , Madam Zhang couldn't control her anger anymore and stood up so fast that her chair fell down with a bam " what do you mean by that ? What evidence you have that My family was? the one who ate all the rice ? Who knows maybe this is the case of? ' thief calling an innocent person thief ' maybe you ate it all behind our backs and then dumped the blame on me !"
After rapid firing like that Madam Zhang placed a hand on her meat loaf like waist and stood up proudly , see she was so smart ! She turned black into white so easily ! Hah !
