"His mother is still alive! Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. Guang'er has been kind and righteous since he was young. How could he do something like embezzling his nephew's property?"

The expression on Old Man Lin's face clearly didn't seem righteous enough, but his tone was so confident that Lin Youtian couldn't help but sneer out loud.

"Haha, so what if his mother is still alive? Didn't she abandon her children anyway? Oh, and there's also that grandson Zhou Chengguang you call the most righteous. Seriously, Dad, please don't tell me such jokes, okay?"

Lin Youtian's voice was very cold.

"Is it because he is your cousin's grandson that you take extra care of him, or is it because he is your cousin's grandson?

After your sweetheart died, you cared about her son. After her son died, you looked after her grandson. This is such a touching sincerity that even I, as her own son, can't help but shed tears of sympathy for you.

There is just one thing I don't understand. You said your cousin is my uncle. When he was alive, did he know that you were thinking about your cousin's wife?"

boom!

Old man Lin was completely confused.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"I'm talking nonsense? Who do you think is a fool?"

Lin Youtian pointed in the direction of the ancestral grave.

"My mother and the second mother look a bit like that woman, don't they? Why do you think the second and third sisters ran away and didn't come back for years?

It's your bad luck that you can't marry the one you want, but you married my mother and stepmother but were unwilling to treat them well, causing my second and third brothers and I to lose our mother at an early age. You have no conscience!

So Dad, that's enough. We all know it. It's just to save face for our children and grandchildren that we haven't said anything for so many years.

Now that you are this old, you should stop messing around. What's better than spending your old age in peace?

If you insist on suing the authorities, I will just lose my shame and tell you how that woman seduced a married man when she was alive. Let the villagers judge for themselves."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out, ignoring Old Man Lin who was sitting there in shock.

After he came out of the room, he looked up at the motionless treetops outside the courtyard wall, and a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes. Fang came out of the west room, pulled her silent husband back into the room, and made him sit down at the table.

Then she skillfully massaged his swollen and painful temples.

"Wife, do you think I'm really getting old? Am I starting to get confused?"

"why do you say so?"

Fang always put her husband first and was gentle and docile all her life.

"Alas, when he asked Yuan Zhou to marry Zhou's daughter, I should have firmly opposed it to the end!"

Lin Youtian couldn't help but sigh in regret once again.

"But I was short-sighted. I coveted Zhou Huaijin's reputation as the former champion, and hoped that he could teach Yuanzhou to become a talent. He does have a good heart, like his biological father. He did teach Yuanzhou well. But he didn't teach his own children well!

You say that short-lived old thing, he should have been well-educated and had good character, so how come he could marry two unlucky wives and give birth to such a pair of evil creatures?

"These two people are so short-sighted, they don't even look like they come from a family of scholars. They are even worse than us, a family of farmers and scholars!"

He was so angry that he slammed the table.

"How old is An Ge'er? He brought a lot of family wealth with him. If he is brought up under his care for a few years, and if he becomes successful in the future, will he forget his uncle? How can Zhou Chengguang want to eat up the whole family? Is there something wrong with his brain?

And that Zhou, she actually abandoned her children and remarried? How dare she do that? If I hadn't been afraid that they would be targeted by those short-sighted people in the clan, would I have done such a stupid thing despite the gossip?

Alas, it is because an old man like me is useless that I could still make a mistake at the last minute. It is really rare in the world for a mother to collude with her brother to betray her own son!"

Fang's hand paused, and she sighed and gave soft advice.

"My dear husband, please don't get angry. Anger is harmful to your health!"

"How can I not be angry? My wife, you know my temper best. Ever since Yu An came back, I have been forcing myself to hold it in. I can't stand up straight!

We got back 50 taels of silver from Zhou Chengguang. No matter how hard we tried, he said he had no money, and that the money was taken away by Zhou. We were told to go to her current husband's house to collect the debt!

I have to face such a shameless person, who is related to me by marriage. Sigh, I am so embarrassed that I can't even hold my face up anymore."

He sighed repeatedly in frustration, and Fang also became worried.

"Well, if it really doesn't work, let's go find Zhou. Those things originally belonged to our Lin family. Why should she take them away? They should be left to the two children."

"It's easy to say, but you don't know. The family that the woman remarried is named Yang, and they have a lot of power behind them. It's not something that ordinary people like us can afford to offend.

No matter how Zhou had gotten this marriage, she was now the real third wife of the Yang family. The poor should not fight with the rich, and the people should not fight with the officials. This principle has never changed.

"Alas, I am really sorry to Lao Si! I didn't take good care of Yuan Zhou, and An Ge'er almost died. I, I really have a dog in my eyes!"

Thinking of the scene where his cousin entrusted his son to him before his death, Lin Youtian wanted to slap himself twice.

Fang knew that her husband felt extremely guilty. She could not bear to see him suffer, but at this moment she had no way to help him relieve his guilt and could only comfort him softly.

"You also want your child to have a promising future and want your child to follow his biological mother. No one knew that Zhou was capable of such a thing!

Husband, don't be so sad.

In the future, we should take good care of the children left behind by Yuanzhou. Your wife will definitely treat them as her own grandchildren.

Let's live well and watch An Ge'er grow up, get married and have children. Only then can we give an explanation to our fourth brother and his wife when we pass away in the future."

"I know. Don't worry about it. I was just mad at the old man."

Lin Youtian patted his wife's arm with his backhand. He didn't want her to worry too much. He had sworn from the day he married his wife that he would never let his wife live like his biological mother and stepmother, living a wronged and sad life.

"It is my bad luck to have such a father in this life. But I really can't let him harm the children below.

Wife, come with me to Yuanshan's house later and say something nice to Liu. I looked at Chu coldly. She is a little bit stupid, but she is not really stupid. I will have to count on Liu, the eldest sister-in-law, to teach me more in the future. Alas. "
