Chapter 438 Explaining Profound Principles to Family Members

"Yes, it must be Mom's. Such a big bracelet wouldn't just disappear for no reason."

Ye Lian sneered, "Oh, then go ahead and sue us. If the police say I took it, I'll accept it even if you give me the whole bracelet, let alone split it with me."

"You've already had a silversmith melt it down, what good will it do me to call the police?"

Ye Lian smiled faintly and said, "There are only a few silversmith shops around here. You can go and ask at each and every one of them."

"What's the point of asking? You've already bribed them."

They were speechless at her logic; she could make black seem white.

Lin Ping was furious and pointed at his aunt's sweater, saying, "Isn't this my thermal underwear?"

The aunt's expression changed. "How could my sweater be your long johns? Lin Ping, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Hmph, I lost a pair of long johns after washing them and leaving them outside to dry. I suspected you stole them. To prevent me from recognizing them, you unraveled them and knitted them into a sweater. This sweater of yours is the same color as my long johns, so it must be mine. Take it off and give it back to me."

The aunt's eyes widened; she felt humiliated.

"You're talking nonsense, Lin Ping, you little bastard, I wouldn't even take your stinky long johns, you bastard."

"Oh dear, that's hard to say. That's just an excuse. You say you don't want it, but secretly you're sniffing my long johns."

Lin Ping acted like a rogue, and the neighbors who were watching the commotion laughed at her. She was so angry that her face turned red, and after saying a few harsh words, she ran away.

Ye Lian breathed a sigh of relief. The two families had been fighting for years, and Ye Lian was already exhausted from dealing with that family.

It would be best if we could just be strangers, but they still insist on causing trouble.

Following his mother back into the house, Lin Ping said, "Mom, don't be afraid of her. If she comes again, just beat her out."

Ye Lian shook her head and said, "After fighting for so many years, what tricks haven't I used? Sigh!"

Just then, Lin Dawei and Lin Gang returned.

Lin Dawei said, "I just heard at the village entrance that Lao Yao's family came to cause trouble, is that right?"

Ye Lian nodded and said, "Yes, she insists that I stole this bracelet from the old lady back then."

Lin Dawei: "Didn't Yuyao buy this for you?"

"Yes, the style is different. She said I had the silversmith change the style. I said I have an invoice, and she said I got a fake one. I told her to ask the silversmith, and she said I bribed the silversmith. You know what kind of person she is. Once she's made up her mind, she can turn black into white and dead into alive."

Lin Dawei clenched his fists and said angrily, "That bracelet is clearly..."

Ok?

The whole family looked at him.

Lin Dawei avoided eye contact.

Ye Lian suddenly stood up and grabbed his collar, saying, "Where's the bracelet?"

"I...I don't know."

"You don't know? Lin Dawei, dare to tell me you don't know again?"

Lin Dawei: "..."

Lin Ping advised, "Dad, if you want to know, just say so. I have no idea how much my mother has suffered because of this bracelet."

Lin Gang also said, "Yes, Dad, back then my mother and aunt had a huge fight over the bracelet. If you want to know where the bracelet went, just say so, otherwise my aunt will come and make trouble again."

Lin Dawei thought that so many years had passed, and he had done right by his youngest son, so he might as well say it.

"Oh dear, your uncle took that bracelet."

Ye Lian was stunned. "What? The youngest took it?"

"Yes, you know that your mother favors him. I was still sick, so I gave the bracelet to the youngest son."

"So the bracelet is with the youngest brother? You, Lin Dawei, why didn't you say so sooner?"

"Oh dear, the youngest brother sold that bracelet for money and took it..." It's embarrassing to talk about this, especially in the eyes of the younger generation.

"Take it and spend it."

"Why did you spend it? It's so big, it must be worth a lot of money."

"It's in Flower Horn Alley."

Ye Lian: "..." I heard that alley is not clean, it's full of prostitutes.

“His wife was pregnant at the time, and he… well, anyway, after I found out about this, he knelt on the ground and begged me not to tell anyone, and even offered to split the old house with us. I agreed, so I never told anyone.”

My mother is biased; she originally planned to give the entire old house to my youngest son.

The youngest son had something on Lin Dawei, which is why the house was divided equally, and he was scolded by his wife a lot for it.

Ye Lian was puzzled at the time, thinking that the old lady had changed her mind, but it turns out that's how it is.

Then Lin Dawei added, "I think the youngest son is keeping his promise; he did indeed divide the house in half among us. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Ye Lian snorted and said, "Then go tell him to handle his wife. As long as his wife doesn't cause me any trouble over the bracelet, I won't say anything. But if his wife dares to come and make trouble again, humph, don't blame me."

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it another day."

Despite the ugly falling out between the two families, and despite Lin Dawei's dislike of his younger brother, there was still some brotherly affection between them.

If his wife finds out about that, there will be a huge uproar.

Of course, no matter how close your siblings are, they can't be as close as your wife and children.

If his brother can't control things, then don't blame him.

During dinner, Lin Ping kept looking for opportunities to join the conversation.

Just as he was about to put down his chopsticks, Ye Lian called his name.

"Lin Ping, go back and study hard, learn some skills, don't end up like your father, a peasant for life."

Lin Ping nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as our generation doesn't just stick to our small plot of land, we will be a generation that soars to new heights."

Before anyone could grasp the meaning of his words, he turned to Lin Gang and said, "Brother, if you choose to stay and tend to your family's small plot of land, Lin Yan will suffer in the future."

Lin Gang was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Didn't I make it very clear to you? My parents are at home; I can't go too far. What will happen to them if we all leave?"

“When we’re successful, we’ll take our parents with us. Look at your aunt, she can’t stand seeing us doing well, she’s always picking on our parents. Let’s go out and eat and drink well, and let her be envious.”

Everyone: "..."

"Hey, don't be so quick to refuse, let me explain further."

"You said."

“My sister said that our generation is lucky, there are opportunities to make money everywhere in the city. If you stand in the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly. But you have to be in the right place at the right time, otherwise you can only watch the pigs fly.”

Ye Lian tapped him on the head, "Speak properly, how can you use such a metaphor?"

“My words may be a bit rough, but the principle is sound. Besides, my sister said that our generation will define the gap between the rich and the poor. If our generation takes off, our descendants will be rich. If our generation fails to take off, our descendants will be poor their whole lives no matter how hard they try.”

Lin Yuyao was still holding back, only saying that breaking through social class requires a lot of effort.

He sentenced him to death.
