Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 803 - 102 My home!_3

Grandma?

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows. So this house was meant for Lady Yang to live in. But why did Lady Yang leave her own house to live in this shabby yard? Her father had just given her ten taels of silver, and it had been only a few days. How had she been driven out already? Could it be that those two had scavenged the old lady’s silver?

The moment she thought of this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but glare at Lin Jiazhong with fury, and thought to herself how they claimed to have plans, when in reality, it seemed likely that they were the ones with devious intentions! Such ingrates, vampires! Not even sparing the silver of an old woman on her last legs!

Lin Yuan was visibly upset, about to curse out loud but Xia Zheng quickly grabbed her hand, gently shaking his head to signal her not to act rashly.

Lin Yuan bit her lip and loosened her clenched fists.

"Oh? So this house is for the grandma to live in, eh?" Xia Zheng crossed his arms and took a good look around the house with a watchful eye, sneering, "Tsk tsk, Boss Lin is so filial indeed, allowing his own mother such a lovely home!"

Lin Jiazhong’s face couldn’t hold the shame, turning bright red as he hastily defended himself, "It wasn’t me who let her live here; she insisted on moving out! Hmph, don’t think we are clinging to you on purpose. If there were another empty house in the village, we wouldn’t have set foot in this place!"

Perhaps to salvage some face, Lin Jiazhong quickly added, "And don’t you think about gloating. I cherish my own mother and I’ll have a new house built for her tomorrow, hmph!"

After speaking, Lin Jiazhong turned to leave. As he reached the door and saw the two still standing there, he put on an air of ownership and said dispiritedly, "What? You like this shabby yard so much? If you’re so reluctant to leave, I might as well sell it to you, ten taels of silver, how about that?"

Lin Yuan had already caught on to the truth in Lin Jiazhong’s words. It seemed they hadn’t taken the old lady’s silver. She immediately felt relieved, replied impatiently with a sneer, "Don’t trouble yourself, our house might be small, but at least it’s spacious enough to live in comfortably. We don’t need to buy another. This rundown yard is better left for your grandma to live in!"

With that, she took Xia Zheng’s hand and strutted out of the yard, heading back to her own home.

Watching the couple enter their large and stylish courtyard, Lin Jiazhong felt both jealous and envious. He angrily shut the dilapidated door, too annoyed to even bother with the lock, and turned to leave, "This wreck of a place, locking it for what? Who would bother stealing from here!"

Back home, Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng quickly went to inform Lin Jiaxin of everything they had heard from Lin Jiazhong. Lin Jiaxin found it very peculiar too. It had only been a few days since Lin Jianling’s funeral, and he had talked with Lady Yang then. She hadn’t mentioned anything about moving out. Why all of a sudden did she decide to leave? It was worrying for her to be living alone. Moreover, was it true that she wanted to move out on her own, or had she been driven out by those two?

Lady Liu also sensed something fishy and, holding little Xiao Yongyan, she urged her husband, "Since they’ve split the household, the old village chief must know something. Why don’t you rush over and ask him? Grandma is of such an age, it would be terrible if she was made ill by anger."

Lin Jianling had initially suffered a stroke out of sheer rage, leading to his early demise. Now that only Lady Yang was left, they couldn’t afford another mishap.

Lin Jiaxin shared this concern and immediately rushed out without even changing his clothes, simply grabbing a robe and heading out the door.

Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng exchanged glances, shrugging their shoulders. This couple was just too kind-hearted. Even after Lady Yang had been so hard on them, now hearing she might be in trouble, they were the first to rush to her aid. Lin Yuan found this endearing; if not for their kindness, she wouldn’t have devoted herself to filially supporting them and working hard to bring them comfort.

Soon, Lin Jiaxin returned. His relaxed demeanor indicated that everything was as Lin Jiazhong had said, Lady Yang had indeed chosen to move out on her own accord.

Sure enough, Lin Jiaxin recounted what the old village chief had told him, even mentioning that Lady Yang had entrusted her silver to the village chief for safekeeping.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but admire Lady Yang privately. Despite her age, she was quite shrewd. This also served as a reminder for Lin Yuan and the others that if they wanted to provide support for Lady Yang in the future, they could do so through the village chief.

No one was happier than Xia Zheng. At first, he was worried that Lin Yuan wouldn’t be at ease with everything at home and wouldn’t want to go to the capital city with him. Now everything was settled—they could simply leave the care of those they were concerned about to the village chief.
