Chapter 583: The Hot-tempered Young Wife Captures the Warm-hearted and Handsome Factory Director 31
Lin Tao rushed home, and before he even stepped through the door, he opened his voice, sharp and somewhat arrogant: "Dad, Mom, all you do all day is scrape by the dirt to make a living! Your good daughter is making a fortune in the city, but she completely ignores your hard work. Not only is she unfilial to you, she even encourages others to beat me!"
His words were full of distortion of right and wrong. Every word he spoke was distorting the facts and putting himself in the position of a victim, as if Lin Yi was really that unforgivable and unfilial person.
Wu Xiuqin, standing next to Lin Tao, showed no sign of doubt at all about these untrue statements. Instead, she nodded continuously, even showing admiration in her eyes.
Inside, Tian Guiying was busy with housework when she heard her son's angry and accusing cry. She stopped what she was doing and hurried out. Her brows furrowed, her eyes full of doubt as she glanced back and forth between Lin Tao and Wu Xiuqin.
"Lin Yi, that girl, what are her abilities? As her mother, how could I not know?" Tian Guiying's voice was filled with a certainty. In her opinion, her daughter Lin Yi had always been useless and had no ability to make a fortune in the city. "Who in the city heard this nonsense?"
As she spoke, she glared at Wu Xiuqin, her dissatisfaction with her future daughter-in-law growing even more intense. Thinking of the exorbitant betrothal gift Wu Xiuqin's family had previously demanded, Tian Guiying was furious. She now suspected that Wu Xiuqin was instigating her son to ask Lin Yi for money again.
Tian Guiying had already made up her mind that her son's betrothal money would definitely have to come from the factory director's son-in-law, but after getting the money, she would have the final say on how much of a betrothal gift to give to the Wu family. She didn't want to be led by the nose by others in this matter.
Wu Xiuqin noticed Tian Guiying's dissatisfaction and hurriedly stepped forward. The expression on her face became exaggerated, and there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
"Aunt, you're wronging Lin Tao," she said, her voice rising a few notches, her tone filled with sincerity. "We saw it with our own eyes. Lin Yi is working as a makeup artist at the Yunmeng Photo Studio in the city. I applied for an apprentice position there, and the studio pays them ten yuan a month! Just imagine how much Lin Yi, the master, earns in a month."
As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, as if to prove the truth of the matter to Tian Guiying. She looked as if she was really thinking about the Lin family and wanted Tian Guiying to understand Lin Yi's true situation.
Tian Guiying's eyes widened in disbelief. Her finger trembled slightly as she pointed at Wu Xiuqin. She turned to Lin Tao and asked, "Is what she said true?"
"Oh my god, it's absolutely true," Lin Tao said angrily, waving his hands, seemingly still immersed in the feeling of being "bullied". "I went to the photo studio today to seek an explanation from that damn girl, and I got beaten up!"
Tian Guiying was still a little dazed, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She looked at the two people in front of her, thinking in her heart. Was the person they were talking about making money in the city really her daughter who had always been considered useless?
Just as she was still confused, Old Man Lin, who had been staying at home, came out slowly with his hands behind his back. His expression was gloomy and full of displeasure.
"Last time you, Lin Tao, came back and told me something, I already felt there was something wrong with this girl," Old Man Lin's voice was low and serious, with a hint of authority. "But I've been busy in the fields lately and haven't had time to go to the city to look for this girl. I didn't expect her to be such a traitor!"
At this point, Father Lin snorted coldly, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, "That damn girl, she wants to live a good life without telling us, she's dreaming, but she doesn't even realize who planned this for her. Go to the city tomorrow and see how I deal with her!"
Old Man Lin's words excited everyone present. Everyone's face showed an eager look, as if they had already seen the scene of getting benefits from Lin Yi, and they were sharpening their knives, waiting to "operate" on Lin Yi.
At this moment, a sly look flashed in Wu Xiuqin's eyes. She approached Tian Guiying with a flattering smile on her face. "Aunt, you must ask Lin Yi to teach me how to put on makeup tomorrow." There was a hint of anticipation in her voice. "If I learn it, I can marry into our Lin family and help supplement the family income!"
This was the real purpose of Wu Xiuqin's visit today. She knew in her heart that no matter how much money the Lin family asked for from Lin Yi, it would not be her share. But if she learned how to put on makeup, not only would she have the ability to make money, but she could also make herself more beautiful. Maybe she could even find a richer client!
Tian Guiying wasn't so easily fooled. She saw through Wu Xiuqin's subtle intentions immediately. She raised her chin slightly, her tone slightly controlled, "If you want to learn how to make money from my daughter, you can! But you have to be a member of the Lin family. We never let outsiders share our wealth!"
Wu Xiuqin's smile froze on her face. She didn't expect Tian Guiying to expose her thoughts so directly.
Seeing this, Tian Guiying's face instantly turned cold, "Why, you want to get something for nothing? Why do you think it's so beautiful?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, which made Wu Xiuqin feel a little embarrassed.
"Aunt, what are you talking about?" Wu Xiuqin hurriedly explained, forcing a smile on her face. "It's only a matter of time before Lin Tao and I get married. Why are you being so distant with me?"
"I still say the same thing. If you want to learn my daughter's skills, you must be a member of my Lin family!" Tian Guiying's attitude was firm and she didn't show any sign of wavering.
Wu Xiuqin weighed the pros and cons, and thinking of the future that Lin Yi's makeup skills brought, she made up her mind and promised: "Aunt, as long as you can convince Lin Yi to teach me, I will definitely marry Lin Tao!"
When Lin Tao heard this, he was so excited that he agreed to Wu Xiuqin's request first. "Xiuqin, don't worry. If that damned girl Lin Yi dares not agree, I'll show you how I'll deal with her!"
However, Wu Xiuqin did not take Lin Tao's words seriously. Her eyes were always fixed on Tian Guiying.
"That's a deal, as long as my daughter nods her head in agreement, you will marry my son immediately!" Tian Guiying finally agreed. Wu Xiuqin achieved her goal and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
But at this moment, Lin Yi, who was being used as a bargaining chip, was completely unaware of what was happening at home. She was sitting with Pei Jingping, seriously discussing how to deal with her vampire-like family.
"Take the child out tomorrow and leave it to me!" There was a hint of fatigue and determination in Lin Yi's voice.
She could imagine that tomorrow would be another fierce argument, a mess. She didn't want Pei Jingping to worry about her family, and she didn't want the children to see the adults quarreling and destroy their innocent and beautiful world.
