Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"You have been weak and sickly since you were young, and you are very sensitive and alert. I don't know how many times you wake up in one night. Mom often can't sleep all night long."

"I changed three or four wet nurses, but you couldn't keep up with any of them. You always cried and made a fuss."

"That year, my mother's health deteriorated day by day. After giving birth to you, she never got pregnant again."

Speaking of this, Grandmother Jia's eyes became moist.

"You are my only legitimate daughter, and I have loved you like a treasure since you were young."

"On the day of your wedding, the two dukes' houses will be no less festive than your brothers' weddings."

"My son, do you remember all this?"

Jia Min nodded blankly, "Mother, I know everything. I will honor you."

Grandmother Jia didn't say much about her daughter's statement. She continued to win her heart.

"Min'er, filial piety is more than just words."

"How many years can mother live? Everything mother does is for her children."

"Now, no matter how fine the silks and satins you give me, they can't cover my youthful figure."

“No matter how delicious the food is, I won’t be able to enjoy it.”

"If mother said too much, you will resent her."

Jia Min's eyes were filled with tears as she was moved by Lady Jia's motherly rhetoric.

"Now that my family is in trouble, will you stand by and watch?"

Finally, Grandmother Jia said what she wanted to say but couldn't bear to say.

Jia Min shook her head subconsciously. Her heart was so bitter that she couldn't speak.

"In that case, since you also have your mother and her family in your heart, can you bear to watch the Jia family fall apart and become homeless while your mother is still alive?"

The more Jia's mother spoke, the more touching it became.

Jia Min shook her head repeatedly.

"Then why did you let someone take over the Jia family's shop? The Jia family owes you money, you have to let your brothers raise it when the time is right."

"How can you push people too far?" Grandmother Jia's reproach became more and more obvious.

Jia Min was still shaking her head in confusion, and Lin Daiyu started clapping in Jia Min's ears.

I admire you so much, this is the art of language, top-level PUA, right?

It's simply indescribable. I spend your money without paying interest, and it will take me a long time to pay it back, but you still have to be so grateful that your eyes are filled with tears.

Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu, you should learn from me!

Lin Daiyu looked up and down at Lady Jia, she was still the same noble old lady.

He has kind eyes and a warm face.

Grandmother Jia was interrupted and asked Lin Daiyu angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why are you clapping?"

Lin Daiyu lowered her voice, making sure only a small area could hear it.

"Grandma, did my eldest uncle and second uncle do something serious to confiscate our property and exterminate our entire family?"

"Otherwise, how could the Jia family end up in such a state of ruin and displacement?"

At this point, Lin Daiyu even made a beheading gesture.

Frightened, Jia's mother's face suddenly turned cold, "Nonsense, how can you say anything like that?"

"I was exaggerating."

Lin Daiyu was unmoved, "Grandma, you are not exaggerating, you are bullying my mother for being timid and soft-hearted."

"Isn't it my mother who has the final say on whether to close the shop?"

"You didn't go to find the person who bought the shop, but you went to your daughter to make trouble!"

Grandmother Jia stared at Lin Daiyu with her eyes wide open and said with trembling hands,

"Jia Min, did you indulge him?"

"Would you allow your daughter to speak to your mother like that?"

Jia Min was a little confused. She was a stupid person. One was her daughter and the other was her mother.

She didn't dare to refute her mother, and she didn't want to scold her daughter.

So she stood aside, at a loss,

She wanted to ask her brothers for help.

But she saw that both brothers were looking at their daughter with murderous eyes.

Including the two sisters-in-law, they were all watching coldly.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that her daughter was fighting alone.

If I don't stand by her side, my daughter will suffer.

And it was obvious that her daughter was trying to help her.

"Mother, my daughter is a little confused. Can you listen to Daiyu's explanation?"

Before Jia Min finished speaking, Grandmother Jia's face turned pale.

This daughter is really alienated. Well, since that’s the case, let’s just talk it out.

With the suppression of filial piety, I think the daughter and son-in-law would not have any other thoughts.

The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. The whole country is talking about filial piety. Who can go against bloodline when advocating filial piety?

"Be filial, be filial. Filial piety means obedience. Min'er, your mother has raised you in vain." Grandmother Jia had to say the most hurtful words.

Jia Min was shocked to hear her mother blaming her so harshly.

Jia Min almost collapsed.

"Mom~" Jia Min burst into tears and was about to kneel down again.

Lin Daiyu grabbed Jia Min and said, "Mom, don't kneel down all the time."

"It's not too late to kneel after you've finished speaking."

"If we talk about filial piety here, we have to first mention the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and it's not your turn yet."

Jia She and Jia Zheng glared at Lin Daiyu. They didn't know how to deal with this girl.

If she is really a maid from the Jia family, then you can deal with her as you wish and no one will dare to say a word against her.

But this is the Lin family, she is just a little girl and cannot be beaten or scolded.

They looked at Madam Wang and Madam Xing meaningfully. It was time for the women to step forward.

Mrs. Wang angrily slammed the Buddhist beads on the table and said, "Mother, don't tell them so much."

"Let's talk about it on the Queen Mother's birthday!"

"See if the Queen Mother listens to Mother or to Jia Min's maid."

Jia Min was stunned. Should such a small family matter be made public?

How can this be so unreasonable?

My mother always said that family disgrace should not be made public.

Why has everything changed now?

Jia Min felt that she could not keep up with the changes in her family's morals.

Lin Daiyu took the lead in applauding again, "Second Aunt, what you said is right. Let's go to the Queen Mother's birthday party and talk about it."

"I can't wait."

"I don't know what you are talking about, but I will say that the Jia family owed money and didn't pay it back, and the wicked people filed a complaint first."

"Second aunt, what are you going to say? Tell us and let's discuss it."

“You,…” Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was fuming. What should she say and what should she not say? Doesn’t this girl understand anything?

"Since my second aunt doesn't want to say it, I'll say it for you. Are you trying to say that my mother is unfilial?" Lin Daiyu didn't give them time to react and continued to speak angrily.

"What else can I say? I can't think of anything with my little brain."

"Otherwise, my second aunt can give me a hint."

Having said that, the situation has reached a stalemate and neither side can retreat.

Jia She finally thought of a sentence, "Jia Min, I want to ask you, do you want to swallow up the Jia family step by step?"

Jia Min asked Jia She in surprise, "Brother, what do you mean by that? Why would I act like this?"

"In that case, let Lin Ruhai return the shop he took over and don't take over any more shops at will in the future. Then this matter will be over."

Jia She felt that he had been talking about such a small matter for a long time and was extremely annoyed.

It’s better to have a quickie.

Just as Jia Min was about to answer, the door to the flower hall opened and Lin Ruhai and Lin Yongan walked in.

Both of them had sullen faces and looked very unhappy.

Lin Ruhai said coldly, "Brother-in-law, you are absolutely right. Where is the money?"
