Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 796 - 100 Family Split_4

Li Feng’e let out a cold laugh and huffed, "Do you really need someone else to spell out who the real waste is? You’re just lucky the villagers haven’t found out. If they do, it won’t just be a matter of calling him useless."

She then broke the sweet cake she was holding in half and gave it to her two sons, who were looking at her with hopeful eyes, and muttered softly, "I really don’t know how you raise your children. One of your sons is hanging out with ruffians and hooligans, and the other is frequenting brothels and has even picked up a Five Stones Powder habit. The only daughter you have, you sold to Li Mansion to be a Little Concubine. How shameful!"

Lady Ma and Lin Jiazhong did not hear Li Feng’e’s words, but they were very clear in their own hearts. Every night, when all was quiet, both could not help but sigh and feel sad, wondering what sins they had committed in their past lives to endure such pain in this one.

Returning to the matter at hand, Lin Jiaxiao rolled his eyes at his wife and steered the conversation back to Lady Yang. But this time, before the two could start their bickering again, Lady Yang, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, suddenly spoke up.

"There’s no need for you to argue anymore. Since neither of you wants to take care of me, let me live by myself."

Lin Jiazhong’s brothers were stunned by Lady Yang’s words, and even Li Feng’e, who had never regarded her with much respect, was shocked to the core, looking incredulously at this stooped old lady.

After a while, Lin Jiazhong finally coughed and advised with a sanctimonious tone, "Mother, you are of such an advanced age now, how can we let you live alone? If something were to happen to you, or you were to feel slightly unwell with no one by your side to care for you, that would be unacceptable!"

Lin Jiaxiao curled his lips and snickered, "Yeah, Boss is right. Mother can’t be without someone to look after her. I think it’s best if she stays with you, that way you can take care of her, and we can rest easy!"

Lin Jiazhong became so flustered by his own statement that he couldn’t take it back, his face turned red and his neck swelled, pointing at Lin Jiaxiao, he stuttered for a long time without being able to get the words out.

Seeing the two of them starting to quarrel again, Lady Yang, tremblingly stood up and raised her voice, "Stop arguing! If you keep going, whoever yells the loudest, I will just follow them!"

The moment this was said, even Li Feng’e, who was about to speak, obediently shut up. They certainly didn’t want to take care of this old woman who could only eat and not work!

After a moment of silence in the room, Lady Ma nudged her husband’s arm, and Lin Jiazhong glared at her, but still spoke up, "Mother, do you really intend to live by yourself?"

Lady Yang nodded, "Yes."

Living with these unfilial descendants would tire her to death, if not infuriate her first. Anyway, she now had Silver in her hands, so she wasn’t worried about her future. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Then where do you plan to live?"

Lin Jiazhong glanced at his younger brother; clearly, both were eager to ask this question. Now, the family had three rooms in the North Room and two rows of side rooms. Since Lin Jiaxin’s family had long since left, the remaining space was occupied by Boss and Third Brother’s families, each living in a row of side rooms. As for those three North Rooms, by right, they should have been reserved for Lady Yang’s old age.

However, if that was the case, it would be as if the Lin family hadn’t been divided at all. The household shared one kitchen and toilet. It was not possible for three families to use them together, was it? The toilet might be manageable, but what about the kitchen? Should one family cook after the other was finished? They would probably not be able to eat until it had gotten dark.

Lady Yang lowered her head in thought. She actually no longer wanted to live in the North Room, as she wished to stay far away from these two ungrateful families. But where could an old widow go if not there? Besides, that North Room contained memories of her and her late husband.

Before Lady Yang could speak, Li Feng’e suddenly had an idea, "Mother can’t stay there. Dad passed away in that room, and it would surely scare Mother to be there alone. No, that won’t do; we should find another place for Mother to live!"

Lady Yang glanced at Li Feng’e, suspecting that she was being driven away.

Li Feng’e felt a bit guilty under the old woman’s gaze and involuntarily turned away. However, she immediately regretted it, thinking, what did she have to fear from an old crone?

With a hardened heart, Li Feng’e turned back to face Lady Yang, only to find that Lady Yang had already turned her face away, ignoring her.

Of course, Lin Jiazhong was not keen on Lady Yang continuing to live in the North Room either. The North Room was excellent, with a large kang (a traditional heated bed) and a main hall. It was fitting for him, the eldest son, to live there.

"Hmm, that makes sense," Lin Jiazhong turned to his younger brother, "But if Mother isn’t living in the North Room, who should? Let’s get this straight. I am the head of our family, and naturally, it is my right to inherit the head of the household, including the North Room. Third Brother, you have no objections to this, right?"

How could there be no objections? There were lots of objections!

When it came to their own interests, Lin Jiaxiao and his wife became united, and they began arguing with Lin Jiazhong back and forth.

Lady Yang watched her son and daughter-in-law argue with heart-wrenching sadness. The conversation, which was originally about where she would live, had shifted to the ownership of the North Room. Were her own interests ever considered by her sons?
