Transmigration: On the Gossip Front
Chapter 2101 - 2102: The First Wife Kicked Out Penniless 21
Lin Mu directly ignored Zhang Yu and walked to Lin Zixuan’s side, "Are you going out?"
Lin Zixuan responded softly, "Yes, we are going to Harbor City."
"Going over there?" She glanced at the bags and luggage, "What is this?"
"Going there for school," Lin Zixuan said lightly.
Going to Harbor City for school? Lin Mu couldn’t help but frown, "Who agreed to you going to Harbor City for school?"
Lin Mu looked displeased at Zhang Yu. She really didn’t like this former daughter-in-law, especially after hearing that when they divorced, Zhang Yu got quite a bit of money. This really pissed off Lin Mu.
"It was obviously my son who earned the money, how dare you take it," Lin Mu said viciously, "Give it back."
"I took a share of the marital property, to be frank, I took quite little, I’ve already compromised with your son."
Zhang Yu didn’t want to waste words with Lin Mu. The original would coax her, but she certainly wouldn’t. She turned to Lin Yu, "Tell your mom whether I took a lot or not."
"If your mom has an issue, then we can recalculate."
"Lin Yu, you choose for yourself." Instead of arguing with Lin Mu, just ask Lin Yu.
Lin Yu felt overwhelmed after hearing this. He was glad that Lin Mu found Zhang Yu; before, the old lady easily suppressed Zhang Yu, but now the opposite seemed true.
"And as for the old lady, your son is about to become a father again. If he doesn’t divorce me, how will he marry into a Wealthy Family?" Zhang Yu sarcastically remarked.
"By the way, I just wonder how you’ll end up, old lady." It seems Mrs. Lin didn’t fare well at Han Xue’s hands.
"Mom, don’t mind my business; I know what I’m doing."
"Also, from now on, I’ll only give you three thousand a month for living expenses. Combined with your salaries and rent, this should be enough." Lin Yu knew it was impossible not to give money; his parents wouldn’t let him go.
But giving too much money was something he truly couldn’t bear. He always thought he was the only son in the family. Even if the parents loved their daughter more, saving money on their side shouldn’t be problematic.
Yet the result was problematic; the money was almost spent entirely by his sister. Lin Yu felt furious thinking about his sister lavishly spending his money on luxury items, traveling abroad, and even supporting her in-laws.
Thinking this made Lin Yu really angry. Whenever he remembered, it was as if he were spitting blood. If he had known, he’d rather spend the money on his wife and children; at least the child could be close to him.
What? Lin Mu heard him say just three thousand, and she couldn’t stand it, "Not enough, how can this money be enough?"
The Lin Family old couple, already used to lavish spending, had their consumption level upgraded a long time ago. Upon hearing Lin Yu mention such a sum, how could they be happy?
"Fine, do whatever you want; it doesn’t matter to me, but then don’t blame me if I take back not only the three thousand but also my rent."
"Ridiculous, an old couple spending thirty or forty thousand a month, yet it’s not enough. What are you spending your money on?" Lin Yu raised his voice, seeing some people pointing fingers at him, directly warning them first.
Originally, Wei Guanren heard Lin Mu saying her son did not support the elderly and pointed fingers at Lin Yu, thinking he was something else; looking sharp, yet he treated the elders so cruelly.
But when they heard Lin Yu say the old couple didn’t find thirty or forty thousand a month enough, they were all stunned.
Realizing the old couple they deemed as weak was actually living better than themselves, they remained silent.
Lin Mu stared at Lin Yu for a long time, realizing her son wasn’t backing down, knowing he was speaking truthfully.
The old lady had to admit she was a character, realizing forcefulness was futile and couldn’t change her son’s mind, "Son, really, your sister and her husband don’t work, taking care of me."
"That’s right; the money I used to buy houses and shops, my brother-in-law’s wedding gift, his bridal house, luxury car, honeymoon trips, were all from my pocket, right?"
"They say they’re taking care of you by hiring two caretakers, one for you and dad, one for their in-laws, yet I’m still paying the salary."
"I’m really just a fool."
"Since both caretakers are hired, why not directly use them for you, I don’t even need my sister."
"Mom, I won’t say much; think carefully, once you and dad are old, who will you rely on for care?"
"If you believe you can solely rely on your daughter for a peaceful old age, fine, we can sign an agreement at the lawyer’s; all the properties and shops I purchased will be transferred to you, and when you’re old, it’ll all go to your daughter. I won’t be responsible for your old age," Lin Yu took a deep breath.
Zhang Yu was initially ready to leave, but recalling how the original faced the in-laws alone in battle was truly challenging; she wanted to see how Lin Yu would act.
The original scenario had Lin Yu vanish, leaving Zhang Yu to face it alone. Now things were different; see, once tied to his finances, he managed effectively.
Hearing this, Zhang Yule smiled, "You say you have no hidden income; the house and shop back home, including buying villas with shared earnings."
"Men..." Zhang Yu clicked her tongue a few times, lowered her head to Lin Zixuan, "Son, your dad is a scumbag; don’t be one."
Lin Zixuan responded, "Okay, I won’t be like that."
Originally, Lin Yu was already quite pissed with Lin Mu’s anger; in addition, Zhang Yu stirring trouble from behind made him furious. He desperately wanted Zhang Yu to shut up, but she just left without hesitation.
Lin Mu couldn’t do much with Lin Yu since reliance on him for old age was necessary; her daughter may speak beautifully of caring for them in old age, but she knew it depended on whether they still had money.
Once they ran out of money or Lin Yu wasn’t offering support, her daughter and son-in-law would not care about them.
Upset, Lin Mu watched Lin Zixuan’s silhouette, "I wonder what you were thinking sooner; how could you let the child stay with her mother? See, leaving without even saying goodbye."
"Really no manners at all," Lin Mu muttered repeatedly.
Lin Yu was exasperated hearing this, "Yes, Xiao Xuan lacks manners, lacks rules, unlike your grandson. After all, he just attends elementary school, yet his total score for Chinese, math, and English is less than sixty."
"While others’ teachers rarely meet the student’s parents, your amazing grandson’s teachers call them to school every week." Lin Yu often heard complaints from his sister.
He knew why she complained before him, just hoping to acquire money from him.
"Mom, before you criticize Xiao Xuan, take care of your grandson first," Lin Yu retorted.
Though Lin Zixuan’s attitude towards him was poor, he was still his son and far superior to the ill-mannered nephew.
Lin Mu was upset hearing Lin Yu speak ill of her grandson but couldn’t retort as the child was really not promising, sigh.
