Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 285 Witness

After saying this, the old lady looked around and finally set her eyes on her eldest daughter-in-law who was sitting in the corner with her legs crossed and watching the fun.

Her eyes paused and she raised her voice, "Big Boss's wife, come here."

Mrs. Shen's body stiffened, and she silently put down her crossed legs, feeling extremely panicked.

What?

How did she get involved?

She didn't do anything.

The old lady frowned slightly when she saw that she hadn't come over yet, "Eldest wife, come here."

Xu Manyue looked at the people around her and said, "Sister-in-law, mother is calling you."

Mrs. Shen noticed the gazes of the old lady and Lin Luoxia. For some reason, she always felt that something was wrong and her body trembled slightly.

She shook her head desperately and took Xu Manyue's hand, "Third sister-in-law, please go with me. I'm scared."

Xu Manyue looked up and met Lin Luoxia's gaze. She sighed inwardly and nodded, "Let's go. I'll go with you."

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and pulled Xu Manyue over.

It's always better to have someone by your side.

After a while, the two men walked up to the old lady.

"Mom, what...what do you want to talk to me about?" Mrs. Shen was very nervous, afraid that the old lady would ask her about that matter.

Just as the old lady was about to ask her a question, Lin Erzhu took the lead, grabbed Mrs. Shen's hand, and cried and shouted with tears and snot.

"Aunt, you must testify for my mother. My mother and our family died in unclear circumstances."

"Now I am the only one left in the family. How can I watch the person who harmed my family live a good life?"

Mrs. Shen's body suddenly stiffened, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Luoxia beside her.

It’s over, it’s over. This person wouldn’t think that she said that.

Lin Luoxia's expression was calm, and she didn't seem to be abnormal at all. "Sister-in-law, Erzhu said you saw it. Is this true?"

The old lady also looked at Mrs. Shen, her expression not looking good, "Just say whatever you want to say, don't be so secretive."

Mrs. Shen's forehead was covered with cold sweat. She raised her hand to wipe it again and again, then lowered her head and pulled away Lin's hand that was holding her arm.

"Erzhu, you must have seen it wrong. I... I don't know anything."

Even though she and Lin Luoxia usually don't get along at home and often argue with each other, those are just minor quarrels that will pass after they are over.

She usually doesn't take it to heart, but today's matter is different. She can still distinguish the important from the unimportant.

Lin Erzhu's face darkened completely. He stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Mrs. Shen, "I should have thought of it long ago. You are all in the same group. You all look down on my mother and wish she would die outside."

"Haha, maybe it was you two who teamed up to kill my mother!"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Shen's face changed drastically, her chest heaving violently with anger. She pushed the man away fiercely, "You...don't talk nonsense."

"Everything can be attributed to us harming your mother. Why don't you think about it, your mother is a married woman, like spilled water. She has been asking for money from her parents for so many years, and I didn't bother with her at all."

"Now that the person is unexpectedly gone, you still have the nerve to blame our Shen family again."

"Lin Erzhu, you are worthy of being a descendant of the Lin family. You are just as greedy as your family."

After she said out the words that had been stuck in her chest for so many years, Mrs. Shen finally felt relieved.

Don’t even mention that she didn’t do it. Even if she did it, it’s what the Lin family and Shen Lanhua deserve.

Xu Manyue stood aside and was a little surprised when she saw Mrs. Shen getting angry.

The person who was scared to death just now is not afraid at all now and dares to fight back.

Lin Erzhu was so angry that his face turned red. He raised his hand and pointed at Mrs. Shen, then at Lin Luoxia, Xu Manyue and the other two.

"I see. You three are in the same gang. You united together to force our entire family to death."

"I tell you, I will definitely avenge this, and I will never let you off easy."

He took a deep breath and turned to look at the old lady. "Grandma, can you handle this matter? If you don't handle it, then let me do it myself."

"As long as I'm still alive, I will never let my mother and my brothers and sisters die in vain."

The old lady's eyes gradually turned red, as if tears were sparkling, but they quickly disappeared.

She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart, then turned her back to Lin Erzhu and said, "Erzhu, go away and don't come here again."

"I will find out about your mother's affairs, but your last name is Lin after all. This is the Shen family, not your Lin family. Don't come here again in the future."

Lin Erzhu widened his eyes and looked at the old lady in disbelief. "Grandma, you...are you going to drive me away for them?"

"I am my mother's only surviving child. How could you do this to me?"

The reason he came back this time was because he heard from the Qingshan Brigade that they had grown grain during the autumn harvest this year and they didn't have to worry about starving to death this winter. That's why he took so much trouble to run back and take refuge with his only relative in the world.

But now, his only relative actually told him not to come again. Isn't this just wanting him to die?

The old lady was silent for a moment. "Erzhu, there is something you may not know. You, like your brother, are not my daughter's biological son. You are your uncle's son, and you don't have any blood of our Shen family."

"You'd better leave. There's famine everywhere. We can barely protect ourselves, so how can we care about you?"

Lin Erzhu froze, shaking his head desperately. "No, that's impossible. I was born to my mother. My brother and sister were adopted. Grandma, you lied to me."

He knew that this old woman favored boys over girls. She even forced her own daughter and grandson to death for the sake of her sons and daughters-in-law. Now she would not even let him, the only survivor, go.

How cruel.

Xu Manyue, who was standing in the corner, didn't expect that even Lin Erzhu was not Shen Lanhua's biological son. No wonder Shen Lanhua agreed to adopt the child. It seemed that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant back then.

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes and said, "Lin Erzhu, I was there when your mother adopted you. If you really don't believe it, just ask any old man and you'll know."

"Can we still lie to you?"

"You'd better leave quickly and don't come here to ask for money."

Fortunately, the one who survived was not Shen Lanhua's biological son, and the old lady had no feelings for him. If it was the youngest child, the old lady would probably be confused again today.

Lin Luoxia looked at the old lady calmly. Seeing that she hadn't said anything, she knew that although this person had some suspicions, he had no evidence and didn't want to make the house uneasy.

As for Lin Erzhu, a man who had nothing to do with the Shen family, it didn't matter if he survived. Anyway, the old lady would not fight with her family for this man.
