Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 528: 143: My son has gone abroad, he is so amazing! _4

“Yes.” Lin Fang nodded.

Old Lady Lin continued, “Tomorrow morning, bring the Ice Skin Jade along, we’ll pay a visit to Shangguan Furong’s house together.”

Hearing this, Lin Fang immediately found her backbone, “Alright, Auntie, I’ll listen to you.”

Old Lady Lin nodded. “You’re not allowed to hit children anymore, do you understand?”

Lin Fang sighed, “Xiaoyue is my daughter, you think I wanted to hit her? I was just too angry.”

“No matter how angry you are, you cannot hit your child in such a way.” Old Lady Lin said.

“Okay, I get it.” Lin Fang went over to help Chang Yue up, looking at her swollen face. With a twinge of heartache, she asked, “Xiaoyue, are you okay?”

“I’m okay.” Chang Yue shook her head.

The next day, accompanied by Old Lady Lin, Lin Fang paid a visit to the Zhao Family home.

Shangguan Furong’s husband’s family, the Zhao Family, were also wealthy, their villa was no less splendid than the Shangguan Family’s residence.

After the servant announced their arrival, Old Lady Lin and Lin Fang waited for quite some time before meeting Shangguan Furong.

“Old Lady Lin, what brings you here?” Shangguan Furong emerged from her house.

“Furong.” Lin Fang immediately approached.

Shangguan Furong looked up at Lin Fang, her eyes revealing disappointment at Lin Fang’s lack of coping skills. She had high hopes for her sister-in-law; Lin Fang was beautiful, her family background was good, her job was decent, and she was good at being sociable.

Who would know that Lin had managed to upset the matriarch of the Shangguan family? Shangguan Furong tried to mediate for a long time, but the old lady was not giving in, she was at a loss for what to do.

Shangguan Furong did not mince words, “If you’re here about that matter, you might as well not mention it. My mother has made up her mind, ten oxen could not pull it back!”

Old Lady Lin laughed, “In all of Beijing, who doesn’t know that the old lady listens to you? If you put in a few good words for us, perhaps the old lady might agree.”

This statement was somewhat flattering, and Shangguan Furong was very pleased to hear it. “It’s useless, although my mother listens to me, she’s not a puppet on a string, and won’t listen to everything I say.”

Old Lady Lin sighed, “In reality, Xiaoyue was under the influence of others that day, she’s not usually like that. Could you help explain a bit, whether the old lady listens or not doesn’t matter, just as long as you help clarify things. Fangfang is too innocent, if I had been there yesterday, I would not have let the old lady have such a deep misunderstanding.”

“For this matter, we’re counting on you. We’re leaving first.” Old Lady Lin put the gift box of Ice Skin Jade on the table and led Lin Fang out.

“Wait.” Shangguan Furong spoke again.

Old Lady Lin and Lin Fang stopped in their tracks.

“Take your stuff with you.” Shangguan Furong indicated the gift box on the table.

Old Lady Lin laughed, “Once a gift is given, how could it be taken back? Please accept it, even if Fangfang can’t become your sister-in-law, you two could still become friends.”

Although Shangguan Furong quite liked Ice Skin Jade, she knew when to be practical, “Take it back. I don’t like repeating things several times.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If she accepted the gift, it would change the nature of the conversation.

Hearing this, Old Lady Lin had no choice but to take the gift box back.

A fleeting shadow passed over Lin Fang’s eyes.

Watching their retreating figures, Shangguan Furong spoke again, “Regarding my mother, I will try to explain a few things for you. As for whether it will work, that’s up to my mother.”

Shangguan Furong was truly satisfied with Lin Fang, because Lin Fang was easy to control.

In this day and age, it was quite difficult to find such a pliable person!

Her previous sister-in-law, Xu Fen, had not been so accommodating, which was why Shangguan Furong didn’t like her very much.

Lin Fang was overjoyed, “Thank you, Furong!”

Shangguan Furong said, “Until things are settled, you should call me Mrs. Zhao.”

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Fang’s face, “Alright, Mrs. Zhao.”

As the two of them left the Zhao Family home, Lin Fang turned to Old Lady Lin, “Auntie, do you think there’s still hope for this matter?”

“It’s hard to say.” Old Lady Lin said, “Judging by Shangguan Furong’s attitude, the old Mrs. Shangguan is truly angry this time.”

Lin Fang sighed.

Old Lady Lin continued, “Don’t be too upset. I’ll keep an eye out for other prospects for you during this time. We can’t hang ourselves on one tree.”

Lin Fang nodded.

With Lin Fang’s current conditions, it would not be difficult for her to marry, but if she wanted to find another wealthy family like the Shangguan’s, it would be a bit more challenging…
