Chapter 176 - Don’t Dare To Tell You The Whereabouts
Though Grandma Lin had already seen her daughter and shouted " Zhi 'er if you have nothing to do come with us"
Lin Zhi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her mother , who was mother only in name but did nothing else other than giving birth to her . Lin Zhi turned her head but she didn't smile instead she coldly said " I still have something to do mother , you can go on your own "
Madam Zhang who always wanted trouble and had no thoughts about keeping peace in the family, opened her mouth " what do you have to do at this hour? I think you just don't want to go with us "
Lin Zhi raised a brow and smiled mockingly " sister in law , you really know how to talk without any difficulties don't you ? Since I came back you have dumped the entire house work on my head . Other than eating and washing your husbands clothes you do nothing while I on the other hand , have to be up and about at dawn . I haven't stopped working even for a second , I have already washed the family's clothes and cleaned the house. What about you what have you done ? You only took two piece of clothing that belongs to older brother to the river yet you returned after two hours . With what right you are trying to pick a fight with me ?if you think that I don't do much then let us take a share of work "
Lin Zhi then looked at Madam Zheng from head to toe and added "it seems that your injuries are healed completely , aren't they ? Then why not make a schedule of who will do which work , alright ? You can take the cooking and cleaning and I will take the job of feeding and washing clothes , will that be okay ?"
Madam Zhang 's face colour changed and her eyebrows wrinkled , she unhappily stared at Lin Zhi and said " sister in law you are too much , you talk like I don't do any work at all "
Lin Zhi sneered " when did I say you don't do any work , I'm saying that you work too slow . Who takes two hour to wash a pair of pants and shirts ? I'm telling you that I'm not this family's slave , from tomorrow on you better start preparing breakfast , lunch and dinner on your own because I'm too tired listening to your ' this don't have much salt ,' or ' this taste weird ' alright ?"
Grandma Lin who was already agitated , snapped angrily " alright, why are you two fighting like little kids? Zhi 'er if you have something then you don't need to come with us . And you come with me now " Grandma Lin pulled Madam Zhang out of the house .
Madam Zhang who was being pulled outside looked back at Lin Zhi . She didn't know when this silent sister in law of her changed and started picking up fights with her . However , Madam Zhang was certain that she will clean this sister in law of hers sooner or later !
Lin Zhi stared at the departing back of her mother and sister in law and her sneer deepened even more . She picked up the bucket of pig poop and her mocking smile became even more intense " humph , lets see what you will get this time "
Then she swung her hips and went back inside to manure their vegetable garden .
Grandma Lin and Madam Zhang had to walk a quarter of an hour before they finally reached the Lin brothers house . However , the gates to their house was tightly locked and no matter how many times they knocked no one answered them . Grandma Lin almost lost her patience but then she saw Fang Xiaolin coming out of her house with a bamboo tub full of laundry in her hands .
The second she saw Fang Xiaolin , Grandma Lin smiled and politely asked " Xiaolin,has our family's Madam Zhao gone somewhere ?"
Our family Madam Zhao ? Wasn't that Mother Lin 's maiden name . Fang Xiaolin frowned and hoisted her laundry basket up on her waist before walking towards the two of them step by step .
When she came to a stop at a safe distance away from Madam Zhang and Grandma Lin , Fang Xiaolin raised her eyebrow and said " if I'm not wrong Aunt Zhao and your family have already separated haven't you ? She and her sons are no longer your Lin Family's member "
Grandma Lin whose skin was thicker than China wall , chuckled twice then said " don't say that Xiaolin , we are still family aren't we ? Even a bone were to break , it can still be attached can't it ? Then how come a family relationship be broken with such an ease ? The family just had a conflict at thar time , but now that it's finished , we are totally alright . Sooner or later they will return to the Old Lin family , after all its not a good thing to stay out of one's roots for long "
Fang Xiaolin 's lips curved in a smile that was not a smile . With a family like hers she thought she had seen her fair share of shamelessness but Grandma Lin never failed to freshen her views . At least her mother who was used to bullying her , would still call her a wretched money losing girl when she come at her house to extort money but Grandma Lin sure can change her face without it hurting her even the slightest bit .
Fang Xiaolin looked at Grandma Lin with eyes that were full of admiration and smiled " ohhh , I have seen people with thick faces before but I have never seen an old mother in law with such wonderful dual personalities . Saying such words , aren't you afraid that you will be struck by lightning after what you have done to Aunt Zhao ?"
Grandma Lin 's face sank at Fang Xiaolin words " this is the Lin family's matter you don't have to bother with it too much , just tell me whether Zhao Lan is at home or not !"
Fang Xiaolin sneered coldly " why should I tell you ? Do you think you haven't done enough to Aunt Zhao or the Lin brothers ? I'm their neighbour , if something happened to Aunt Zhao while you were here - How will I answer Wan Wan and The others ? I don't dare to tell you about Aunt Zhao's whereabouts "
