"Brother Xu Lian, we are both sons-in-law of the Lin family, and we are also a family. I was reckless just now and shouldn't have hit you."
Tong Miao hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Xu Lian and said, "I hope you can forgive me."
Lin Ying pushed his hands down and shouted, "You are more seriously injured than him, why should you apologize to him? He should be the one to apologize!"
Tong Miao's face darkened, "Shut up."
Lin Ying had no choice but to stop talking, but still glared at Xu Lian.
Xu Lian did not accept Tong Miao's apology and said indifferently, "A little injury between men is nothing, but you really should apologize for having the idea of hitting on my woman."
Tong Miao had no choice but to apologize again and explained, "I didn't know that Lin Wan already had a man."
Okay... Xu Lian thought about it and felt that it was barely acceptable.
Seeing Tong Miao like this, Lin Ying was even more angry and cursed, "You are the legitimate son of the Tong family, the future head of the Tong family. What are you afraid of him doing? How can you be in charge of the Tong family in the future?"
"I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me? If you say another word, you won't have to go back to the Tong family!"
Tong Miao was very annoyed. This woman really had no vision. This young man was younger and stronger than him. How could he be an ordinary person
Lin Ying was stunned, and then burst into tears, crying and cursing, "You useless thing, you have no ability, why are you angry at me! If you don't want to go back to the Tong family, then don't go back to the Tong family. I'll just stay and be his concubine. Are you satisfied?"
Don't! Xu Lian was just angry and said something he didn't want to say. He didn't have such thoughts. A small pepper like Pei Zhaoxi was enough. The spiciness was just right. Who could stand a devil pepper like Miss Lin Er
Tong Miao was so angry that his face turned green and his whole body was shaking.
"Lin Ying!"
Lin Yue's face was completely upset, "Have you had enough of making trouble?"
Hua Rongjun quickly pulled Lin Ying aside to stop her from making trouble.
Perhaps to ease the embarrassment, Tong Miao said to Lin Yue, "Father-in-law, I want to discuss with you the matter of the Tong family and the Lin family buying a spiritual house on First Street together."
Lin Yue waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after dinner. I'm not in the mood now."
Tong Miao had no choice but to give up.
They each left the living room.
Lin Wan followed Xu Lian to the wing room in the west courtyard. She seemed to be worried that Xu Lian was still alive, so she took the initiative to throw herself into Xu Lian's arms, "Husband, don't blame my second sister, she is just too strong-willed.
She is strict not only with herself, but also with everyone in the Lin family. She hopes that everyone in the Lin family will make progress and make the Lin family stronger and become a wealthy and powerful family.
When I was a child, she always stuck to me and had the best relationship with me at home.
Later, I became a Taoist partner with a young casual cultivator. She started to feel a little resentful towards me, saying that I was not ambitious enough. As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, I married a casual cultivator, which set a very bad example for the Lin family. If all the children of the Lin family were as useless as me, the Lin family would sooner or later decline.
Later, when the young cultivator met with an accident during his practice, I returned to the Lin family’s former residence. She blamed me even more, saying that I was a disgrace to the Lin family.
I also feel sorry for the Lin family. Not only have I not made any contribution to the Lin family, but I have also used the Lin family's cultivation resources. No matter what she says or how she treats me, I will tolerate her and give in to her. "
Xu Lian listened silently, and he also understood Lin Ying a little. This world is very cruel, and the competition is particularly fierce. The winner owns everything, and the loser will be wiped out. There are actually many people like Lin Ying who are determined to make progress. Not only do they strictly demand progress themselves, they also require their family, relatives and friends around them to make progress.
As Lin Wan spoke, she broke down a little and cried, "After learning about your identity and background from the county magistrate, my mother encouraged me to get along with you. I thought that if I could win your favor, it might be of some use to the Lin family, so I got along with you.
After getting back together with my husband, I found that he is actually a very nice person. He never blames anyone for anything, and he takes care of the people around him whenever he can."
Seeing her crying, Xu Lian quickly comforted her, "I was nice to you at first because of your appearance and figure, but later I found that you are a good woman, and I also like you in my heart."
Hearing him express his true feelings, Lin Wan burst into laughter and said, "I suddenly feel that the misfortunes I encountered before are nothing, because I met a good man like my husband. This may be the blessing I have earned in the past."
Xiaoyu brought dinner.
The two started eating together.
Obviously, after what happened in the living room, everyone was in a bad mood and didn't want to get together for dinner, so they just ate separately to avoid an awkward situation.
After dinner, the head of the Lin family sent someone to tell them to go to the pavilion in the back garden for tea.
Xu Lian and Lin Wan walked towards the back garden hand in hand.
When I arrived at the back garden, I saw Lin Yue, Hua Rongjun and his wife, Tong Miao and Lin Ying were all there.
Lin Ying smiled and trotted over, holding Lin Wan's other hand affectionately, "Sister, I'm really sorry for what happened in the living room just now. I was angry with you before, and it was my fault."
Xu Lian clearly felt that Lin Wan's body stiffened. Apparently, Lin Ying had not been so intimate with her for a long time, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Xu Lian also felt puzzled. It was as if Lin Ying had become a different person... Was the devil pepper shrew in the living room just now really her
Hua Rongjun smiled and said, "I told the second daughter about Xiao Xu's situation. After knowing that the eldest daughter married a suitable man, the second daughter felt relieved."
So realistic... Xu Lian understood. It was probably that Hua Rongjun had revealed some of his identity and background to Lin Ying. This Lin Ying was extremely ambitious and really wanted to build a career for the Lin family.
"Brother Xu Lian's matter?"
When Tong Miao asked, he was also curious.
Hua Rongjun didn't want to tell the Tong family, so she casually said, "Like your Tong family, Xu Lian's family is also quite powerful."
Tong Miao was relieved, "No wonder he has such strong strength at such a young age."
The family sat in the pavilion drinking tea, laughing and talking in harmony, as if what happened in the living room had never happened.
This made Xu Lian feel a little emotional, and he recalled the time when he lived in the old earthen house with Wang Cuiyun and Li Xiya. He was penniless at the beginning, and Wang Cuiyun was very noisy and disliked him. But when he brought beef back home... the family became surprisingly harmonious.
This is actually the situation now. After learning about his identity and background, Lin Ying stopped making a fuss and became especially polite to him, calling him brother-in-law and brother-in-law in a very sweet way.
He concluded that in this world, all family harmony is built on a material foundation.
Tong Miao talked about the spirit house again, "My Tong family wants to invest some money and buy a spirit house on First Street with the Lin family, so that we don't have to rent a spirit house in the future. In the short term, this is a huge expense, but in the long run, it saves rent and is worthwhile.
Moreover, practicing in the spiritual house for a long time is definitely better than practicing in it every once in a while. The speed of practice will definitely be faster, which is conducive to the strengthening of the Tong family and the Lin family. "
