Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Chapter 670 Life experience

After entering the house, Lin's mother grabbed Lin Xiaomei by the ear and dragged her out.

Lin Xiaomei was in great pain and looked to Lin Ping for help, her mouth agape: "Brother, I want to stay and keep my sister-in-law company."

Zhou Xiyin was in a bad mood, but Lin Ping didn't know how to comfort her. Fortunately, Lin Xiaomei helped her stop crying.

Lin Ping was really angry that his mother had taken Lin Xiaomei away in such a rude manner.

"Stop! You old man, who gave you permission to bully my little sister?" Lin Ping shouted angrily, hands on his hips, acting like a complete unfilial son.

At home, Lin Ping's word was law. Lin's mother immediately released Lin Xiaomei's ear and asked suspiciously, "This girl disturbed my son's rest. I will definitely punish her properly. My son, you can rest assured."

"You can only bully your own sister? Who gave you that right?" Lin Ping continued angrily.

Only Lin Ping could utter such shameless words.

Normally, Lin's mother would scold Lin Xiaomei a few times, and then smile at Lin Ping.

For some reason, Lin's mother was quite determined this time, preferring to displease Lin Ping rather than let Lin Xiaomei leave.

"You brat, get out of here! If you ever dare to sneak into your brother's room at night again, I promise I'll break your legs!" Lin's mother said, grabbing Lin Xiaomei's ear and cursing loudly.

Lin Xiaomei, feeling wronged, shed tears, but kept pleading with Lin Ping for help.

"They're insane, absolutely insane! How dare they ignore what I said!" Lin Ping gasped for breath.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Ping's words were law, and this was the first time they didn't work. Although it wasn't a big deal, he was still unhappy.

The key issue is that after Lin Xiaomei left, no one comforted Zhou Xiyin.

“I also feel that Mother is acting a bit strange today.” Zhou Xiyin was equally curious.

Although they hadn't officially married into the family, she knew a little about the Lin family. Lin's mother was a doting mother to her son, and she shouldn't go against Lin Ping's wishes.

Perhaps other families would care about their daughters' reputation, even if it meant sleeping with their brothers, but the Lin family is different. Lin Ping is the emperor, and his word is law. As for Lin Xiaomei's reputation, it doesn't matter.

"Hmph, first they made me divorce my wife, then they went against my wishes. There's simply no place for me, Lin Ping, in this family," Lin Ping muttered.

He didn't mean to be extravagant, but over time he picked up this habit, and when he was suddenly forbidden from doing so, he felt quite unhappy.

After Lin Xiaomei was dragged out, she sullenly lay in her room wiping away tears, and her mother ignored her.

At that moment, Lin Fugui held a rectangular wooden box, slowly pushed it open, and a bright light shot out from inside, illuminating the entire room.

creak...

As soon as the door opened, Lin Fugui hurriedly put away the wooden box, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Old man, it's me," Lin's mother said softly, afraid that others would hear.

"You scared me to death!" Lin Fugui breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the visitor was his mother.

"That little girl of mine just barged into Ping'er's room and was yelling that she wanted to sleep with her brother. I dragged her out," Lin's mother said angrily.

"I'm going to break her legs right now!" Lin Fugui said angrily.

"Let's let her off this time, but daughters grow up and leave home. I'll find a matchmaker another day and marry her off," Lin's mother suggested.

Lin Fugui nodded in agreement: "She should indeed get married, so she won't bother my son all the time."

"Old man, are you really going to keep this from my son?" Lin's mother asked mysteriously.

Lin Fugui also sighed: "Twenty years ago, our benefactor entrusted him to us, and we should do our best to raise him. Now that Ping'er has grown up, he should know the truth, but I can't bear to part with him."

“That’s right, we can’t hand my son over. I’m still waiting to hold my grandson,” Lin’s mother said seriously.

The next morning, Lin Ping was awakened by a chattering sound outside the door.

"Don't worry, Madam Lin, that young master Gou is not only handsome, but also a scholar. He won't mistreat Miss Lin. He's already sent the betrothal gifts, a full ten thousand taels of silver!" the matchmaker said enthusiastically.

Lin's mother nodded repeatedly and immediately ordered people to move the betrothal gifts into the house.

"Stop arguing!" Lin Ping walked out looking sleepy, and was puzzled when he saw the large and small boxes.

"What does this mean?"

The matchmaker's distinctive attire made her easily identifiable, and Lin Ping was filled with curiosity, thinking to himself: Is she trying to arrange another marriage for me?

"And who is this?" The matchmaker asked in a low voice, seeing Lin Ping's imposing presence and extraordinary appearance.

"You matchmaker Zheng, you don't even recognize my son? He's a high-ranking general and the future prince consort!" Lin's mother said arrogantly.

She was a virtuous woman who didn't like to compare herself to others, but whenever Lin Ping was mentioned, she always spoke with an air of arrogance.

The matchmaker had naturally heard of Lin Ping's reputation, and her legs trembled with fear. She stammered, "Reporting to the General, this is a betrothal gift from Young Master Gou to Miss Lin."

"Miss Lin? You mean my little sister?" Lin Ping finally realized what he meant and said angrily, "Where did this young master Gou come from? He's like a toad trying to eat swan meat! Bring him here so I can see him. I promise I'll beat him to death!"

The matchmaker was so frightened that she ran away as fast as she could, not even daring to accept the ten thousand taels of silver.

She told the Gou family what had happened, and the young master Gou was so frightened that he could only roll his eyes. He no longer dared to come to Yipinju to propose marriage.

Just as Lin Ping was about to ask his mother what was going on, he heard Lin Xiaomei's sobbing voice coming from inside the room.

"Brother..." Lin Xiaomei suddenly threw herself into Lin Ping's arms and burst into tears.

"Little sister doesn't want to get married. Little sister wants to stay by her brother's side forever," Lin Xiaomei said, her voice choked with emotion.

If Lin Ping had cared for her a lot since childhood, it would be normal for Chen Xiaoru not to want to leave him. But apart from ordering Lin Xiaomei around and taking the blame for her, she had never done anything heartwarming for him, which even Lin Ping himself felt ashamed of.

"If you don't like it, then you won't marry it. With your brother backing you up, let's see who dares to say no!" Lin Ping deliberately raised his voice, clearly speaking to Lin Fugui and his wife.

"I dare!"

Before Lin Ping could finish speaking, an even sharper voice came from behind him, as Lin Fugui approached angrily.

"Marriage is a major life event, decided by parents and matchmakers. How can she make the decision herself?" Lin Fugui shouted.

“As the eldest brother, I can make the decision for her!” Lin Ping retorted defiantly.

“I’m not dead yet. Your word as my elder brother doesn’t count. If you want her to stay away from marriage, you’ll have to kill me!” Lin Fugui said aggressively.

This was the first time Lin Ping had ever seen Lin Fugui lose his temper, and he was actually a little scared. Lin Xiaomei was even more frightened, trembling all over, and tugging at Lin Ping's clothes, saying, "Brother, please don't be angry. I'm going to marry that young master Gou right now."

Seeing that things were going wrong, Lin Ping decided to go all out, puffing out his chest and saying, "I'll beat you to death, you old bones!"
