41 Grandma Only Likes Fifth Uncle

Lin Yuanshan was the fifth son in the Lin family and the village scholar. Most of the money that the Lin family earned was spent on him. They hoped that he could make the family prosper through his studies.

Unfortunately, he was already 16 years old but had yet to pass the examination. He passed the county examination but failed in the capital examination.

Because of that, the Lin family still had high hopes for him.

Lin Yuanshan was going to take the examination again next year, so he asked for more money from the Lin family so that he could ask the headmaster to give him special lessons.

This put the Lin family in a difficult situation. However, Old Lady Lin was always willing to spend money on Lin Yuanshan.

She gave Lin Yuanshan the forty taels of silver that belonged to her father, but she also wanted to sell her off to an old widower in a neighboring village in exchange for more money.

If not for her mother’s desperate opposition, she would have been sold by now.

However, her mother had thoroughly angered Old Lady Lin because of this, resulting in the three of them being banished.

Her mother’s embroidery work was good enough to earn some money, so the Lin family did not really want to completely cut ties with her. Instead, they let them live in a shabby house with nothing to eat to force her into submission.

Unfortunately, her mother would not budge.

Now that she had transmigrated, she could hunt for money. When the Lin family heard about this, they had plans for them.

“Fifth uncle, if you really care about us, why would you chase us out of the house? After leaving the Lin family, not only did the three of us not have enough to eat and proper clothes to wear, but you even come to steal from us from time to time…” Lin Xiaoyue looked pitiful as she wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

The people around her were very sympathetic. They did not believe that Lin Xiaoyue was an unfilial child.

“Xiaoyue…” Lin Yuanshan frowned and was about to speak.

But he was interrupted by Lin Xiaoyue.

“Look…” Lin Xiaoyue pointed at her forehead.

When one looked carefully, one would notice a scabbed wound.

“Grandma did this the day before yesterday. She pushed me to the door and knocked me down. The doctor said that I was dead. If father didn’t help me come back to life, I would have already been killed by grandma!”

Killed?

These words struck everyone’s heart.

Everyone looked at Old Lady Lin and started to gossip.

If she really died, then Old Lady Lin would be the murderer. How could she kill her own granddaughter?

“Xiaoyue, you’ve misunderstood…” Lin Yuanshan frowned even more. He didn’t expect Lin Xiaoyue to sound so convincing.

“No!” Lin Xiaoyue wiped away her tears and looked at Lin Yuanshan.

“I’ve seen through everything. Grandma doesn’t care about us at all. She only cares about you. Otherwise, why would she give you all the money? We all gave the money to grandma, and she gave it all to you! Even the forty taels of silver that was given as compensation after father died was given to you! You even took the money that mom earned from doing embroidery work!”
