They gazed at Gu Zi, certain that she was the biological daughter their second brother had mistakenly lost. Even if she wasn’t standing next to Mother Lin at this moment, Lin Laoda couple would still recognize her, for she bore a striking resemblance to Mother Lin in her youth.
Both mother and daughter possessed a rare beauty. However, the mother had married an ordinary farmer. Despite Lin Lao’er’s affection for her, her life was destined to be simple and laborious. Lin Laoda’s wife had once been envious of Lin Lao’er’s wife’s beauty, but the thought of her own wealth always eased her jealousy.
But what about the daughter? She had married the only wealthy man in the area. Today, she was dressed in a cheongsam coat, adorned with pearls and jade, her complexion rosy, her demeanor dignified. Gu Zi’s aura was comparable to that of a high-born lady, which made Lin Laoda’s wife feel uncomfortable.
She wondered, how could Mother Lin, who had led an ordinary life, give birth to such a daughter who possessed both wealth and beauty?
Moreover, this daughter had married a wealthy son-in-law, who was said to be very considerate of Gu Zi and Lin Lao’er’s family. This had allowed Lin Lao’er’s family to rise from poverty and become wealthy in Little Lin Village.
The more Lin Laoda’s wife thought about it, the more jealous she became. Her tone of speech inevitably carried a sour note, losing the magnanimity that an elder should have, revealing a petty nature. “I’m not very happy today. You’re Gu Zi, right? You’ve been back for a while now, but you haven’t visited me and your uncle. Oh, I see, perhaps your parents have become so wealthy that they’ve forgotten about us.”
Lin Laoda’s wife believed that whenever she returned in the past and had a dispute with someone, the people around her would always side with her, blaming the other party. So, she deliberately spoke in this manner now, presuming that the people around her would still help her criticize Lin Lao’er’s family’s inconsideration. She didn’t realize that the wind had already changed direction.
As soon as she spoke, many people around her changed their expressions. Immediately, someone stood up to defend Lin Lao’er’s family. “I’m not happy to hear what you’re saying. Haven’t you ever thought about visiting Gu Zi?”
