Chapter 518 Exciting drama.　　The crowd once again turned to look at Zhang Xioahui, waiting for her response. All of them no longer made any comments instead they started to regret not bringing enough melon seeds to crack open and eat, this drama by the Lin family was really fascinating, it was even better than the drama that they watched in the theatre. So many twists and turns, if they wrote these scenes down and sold them to any tea shop where they tell stories at noon, maybe they might earn a good sum of money. It was this interesting.

Su Wan naturally wouldn’t let Grandma Lin turn around the situation so easily, she has spent so much energy to bring justice to Zhang Xiaohui, there was no way she was going to let all her energy go to waste like that, so she cleared her throat. Lin Jing who noticed that his wife’s throat was getting parched immediately took out a small bamboo tube in which he brought sweet lemon juice for her. In the summer his wife liked to drink honeyed lemon juice the most, so he would often squeeze fresh lemon juice for her in the summers. It was a good thing too, look didn’t his wife get thirsty?

Su Wan took the bamboo tube from Lin Jing with a grateful smile and then drank a few mouthfuls of lemon juice to moisten her throat and once she was certain that she will able to waste another round of spit while arguing with Grandma Lin, she stopped drinking and wiped her mouth with the sleeves of her blouse before she looked at Grandma Lin with a sharp gaze and said, ” Who knows whether or not they are speaking the truth or not? They are after all your grandchildren, will they really go against you and say anything against you? Wouldn’t they be called unfilial if they did that? I don’t think that their testimony should be considered village head, they are still young and they can always be influenced by their elders, won’t they?”

Grandma Lin’s face immediately turned red as she listened to the nonsense that Su Wan has spouted just now, once again she had a feeling that Su Wan was born just to make her suffer! To think that she was bent on going against her! She raised her hand and pointed at Su Wan, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling, even the finger that she was shaking. ” You… You…” however no matter how angry she was, there was nothing Grandma Lin could put in words, she was angry enough to curse but that bitch was well protected by those two unfilial brats, if she said anything wrong, then those brats would look for her to get even with her.

Su Wan raised a brow and haughtily curled her lips in a smirk. ” What ‘you’? Aren’t I just stating the facts? The Emperor respects women and he has passed many imperial decrees to lift the standard of the women living in his empire, are you saying that you want to defy an imperial decree? Its clearly stated in the laws of our country that no matter how a woman gets divorced, her dowry will only belong to her unless she passes it down willingly.”

As soon as Su Wan said those words, Lin Yunxi who was standing behind grandma Lin snapped her head up. That’s right, if she could make her mother pass her dowry to her then she wouldn’t have to suffer a loss! Though she was slightly disdainful of her mother who was fat and ugly, Lin Yunxi had no desire to give up on the fancy gold jewellery that her mother brought with her. She was pampered by her family even though her mother didn’t have much money she would always coax her with the money she has saved- as long as she whines a little and squeeze out a few tears, her mother would definitely listen to her right?

When Lin Yunxi carefully pondered over the plan that she had in mind, she started to believe that it was more and more feasible, and the thought of the jewellery that her mother brought her eyes started to shine. That’s right, she couldn’t give up on either of them- the head ornament that her mother had was made of pure gold as long as it was melted and redesigned, it would fit the bill and the same could be said for the ruby-encrusted hairpin, it only needed to be polished a little and it would look as good as new. As for the jade bangles, though they were of the cheapest quality, they were still rare for the villagers- if she could get married with these then no one would look down on her!

In short, it didn’t matter how her mother was going to leave the rest of her life, what was important was that the jewellery from her dowry can not be allowed to be taken away by her mother!

So, Lin Yunxi immediately rushed towards her mother and tugged on her hand, ” Mother – mother, listen to me… leave the dowry for me. I am your daughter aren’t I? Do you really want to leave me in a lurch? I know that father was wrong, and if you want to divorce him, I won’t stop you either but at least leave that jewellery to me, alright? If not what am I supposed to do in the future? Mother, I am already sixteen soon I will get married, I need that jewellery to impress my in-laws, don’t you want me to look good in front of my future husband’s family? Please, mother, aren’t you my good mother?”

Everyone who was listening to Lin Yunxi’s chatter immediately blinked their eyes simultaneously as they turned to look at each other, they wanted to make sure that they were not the only ones who heard those bone-chilling words. And when they noticed that they all had the same shocked expression mirrored on each other’s faces, they all cursed inwardly.

Damn was this girl in the right state of her mind? Her mother was getting kicked out of the house and she was going to face a life that would be so difficult without a husband that no one even dared to imagine it and yet – this girl was only worried about whether or not she will able to impress her in-laws?

All of a sudden all the villagers couldn’t help but feel sorry for Zhang Xiaohui. She was really unlucky to have such a daughter.
