Reincarnation: Rogue Husband Here

Chapter 44 - Accounting

The old son-in-law scolded for a long time, but seeing the courtyard door still tightly shut, he pointed his spear at Aunt Lin, “Wasteland man, bring out the eggs and meat!”

Aunt Lin was in pain all over. He had intended to return to his house while the mother-in-law cursed his older brother and family, but he knew her character well and that she wouldn't let this go easily.

“Mother-in-law, if anyone found out about this, they would say that I, the son-in-law, am unfilial. Ah Yao, you are no longer young; I do not dare to trouble you.” Aunt Lin understood that if he continued to confront her directly, the outcome wouldn't be favorable. Furthermore, since Ah Yao was unwilling to speak the truth, it proved he was still on her side. Otherwise, his unfilial reputation would spread, and his master wouldn't spare him easily.

Moreover, for the sake of his son, he couldn't continue to compete with the mother-in-law.

The old son-in-law glared angrily at him, “Wang Jixiang, keep your thoughts to yourself. Do you think just because you mentioned the youngest, I would take back my words? I'm telling you, there's no way, hurry up, or I'll get the youngest to divorce you!”

His youngest son had always obeyed him since childhood. He definitely wouldn't believe this wayward husband. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know that all the meat in his family was gone.

Aunt Lin gritted his teeth but obediently walked over to the food storage and handed over the basket of eggs and the meat Lin Yuxing had given him.

The old son-in-law snatched it away and went back to his own house.

Early the next morning, news of the old son-in-law and his family's son-in-law fighting spread throughout the entire Lin Village.

Lin Village was small, and causing such a ruckus in the middle of the night meant many neighbors heard it, so it didn't take long for the news to spread.

When the old son-in-law heard this, his face turned ugly. He was furious and said, “Mother-in-law, we can't let this go like that. We don't need to worry; you can get up quickly.”

“The cursed star!” The old son-in-law scolded, then shot a glance at him: “Help me over there!”

In the past few days, not only had they not taken advantage of the elder, but they had also caused a commotion. Everything was because of Lin Yuxing!

Lin Yuxing's family hadn't changed much as usual, and the youth hadn't told his family about earning a lot of silver from selling herbs. It wasn't because he didn't trust his parents but because he understood the principle behind Huai Yu's crimes.

“Ah Yao, let's tear down the house and rebuild it.” Lin Yuxing suggested, knowing that once the summer rains came, their home would surely leak.

“Great! You actually have money to build houses and aren't filial to the mother-in-law?” As soon as the old son-in-law entered, he heard Lin Yuxing's words.

This family was really wicked. After selling the wild boar for so much silver, they only gave him two catties of meat. Did they really think he was a beggar?

When Lin Yuxing heard this, he frowned. He had thought that the old grandma and Aunt Lin would moderate a bit, but he didn't expect the mother-in-law to be just as resentful.

“Nanna, you know the situation with our house. What's wrong with it?”

“We can still manage after putting the silver into the house. A family also lives comfortably; if we honor you, Nanna, I'm afraid we won't even make a dent.”

“Besides, the reason our family lives in such a house is all thanks to you. Are we using our own earnings to build a house that hinders you?” Lin Yuxing retorted. Since his reputation as unfilial had already spread, it didn't matter if he seemed even more unfilial. Furthermore, he wasn't a good person, so there was no need to be courteous.

The old grandma's lips trembled after hearing this, unable to refute a single word.
