"What nonsense are you talking about?" After speaking, Lin Lishan laughed.
After the joke, Zhou Jiao asked about Lin Xuelin’s situation.
Lin Lishan frowned slightly and shook her head, "There was some issue on the man’s side, and Xiao Lin decided on her own to postpone it to May 1st. But nothing happened this May 1st either, I don’t know what that means. I just got back and haven’t received any news yet. Your aunt will be over tomorrow, and we’ll find out then when the wedding will take place."
Zhou Jiao asked softly, "So, did Grandma go to the sanatorium to avoid the storm?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lishan nodded with a smile. She didn’t say that this was only part of the reason. The main issue was still the discord between the two families. As her husband rose to a high position, the old lady couldn’t stand seeing the Zhou Family doing better than the Lin Family and deeply resented Zhou Jiao and her father.
But how could she possibly say such things? Now, when the old lady faces her alone, on one hand, she asks her to help transfer her second brother back, and on the other, she says all sorts of unpleasant things.
Doesn’t she also have a temper? That’s her husband and biological daughter. If that’s the case, it’s better to stay away. Anyway, in a couple of years, they’ll have to move, and once they go to the West Mountain, the two families will be far apart.
Lin Lishan is not one to hide her thoughts easily, and as her expression changed, how could Zhou Jiao not notice? But the issue with Gu Ruyi was like a thorn; she could only pretend to be ignorant.
"Jiao Jiao, was Wang Dawei transferred back with your dad’s help?" Lin Lishan finally couldn’t help but ask. She didn’t believe her mother’s words, but she grew a little suspicious after the last birthday drink when they met.
Zhou Jiao sighed deeply. Stirring up trouble without skill and afraid of saying too much. This sinister old woman really would not hesitate to use any trick. There were things Zhou Jiao hadn’t intended to express, because saying more wouldn’t be as effective as action.
"Did Grandma tell you that? Do you think my dad has that much power? If you let Grandpa Lin transfer Second Uncle back, could it be done? Uncle Wang’s time spent, contributions, and personal abilities in the Northwest, are all not comparable to Second Uncle’s. If you’re talking about voting to decide, then my dad might indeed vote for him. But if you think my dad used his influence to transfer him back to Beijing, that’s truly a joke. Don’t forget how long my dad’s been back? How many superiors does my dad have?"
"Mom, do you think Uncle Wang has a particularly good relationship with my dad and Godfather?"
Listening to Zhou Jiao’s words, Lin Lishan found them reasonable. Bringing someone back wasn’t that easy, and if it were so simple, her dad would have transferred his own son back long ago.
"Yes. What you’re saying makes sense. I also think it’s impossible. Your dad can barely take care of himself, where would he find the time and connections to help Wang Dawei? Your grandma is just someone who likes to be suspicious and paranoid. But Jiao Jiao, your dad indeed treats them better than your two uncles."
Her mom was indeed a treasure. Zhou Jiao suppressed her amusement and said, "Don’t you know my dad’s temperament by now? Why is he close to them? Uncle Guang hopefully doesn’t need me to explain it? Many things, my dad and I don’t want to tell you, fearing you’d feel upset and lose face. On that day, several uncles sent things to me over the past seventeen years, but everything was sent to the Lin Family."
Lin Lishan’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Zhou Jiao, "Could it be a mistake? Are you sure those were sent to you? Did they say it themselves?"
