I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Chapter 60 Granny Liu Beats People

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's heart sank even further. If what Su Banxia had just said was true, then her long-awaited grandson was gone.

Moreover, all the money he secretly subsidized for the third wife was wasted.

During this time, in order to make Lin's life more comfortable, Granny Liu tried her best not to cause trouble for the third branch of the family.

All the work was assigned to the eldest and second wives. In the end, it turned out that it was all a trick by Lin to deceive Granny Liu. Wasn't she just making a fool of herself because she was old?

The more Liu Pozi thought about it, the angrier she became. She gripped the broom tightly, raised it high, and then, suppressing her anger, brought it down.

"Mr. Lin, what do you have to say about this?"

Upon seeing this, Lin hurriedly waved her hands in alarm and said:

“Mother-in-law, don’t listen to that brat Su Banxia’s nonsense. What does an unmarried girl like her know about pregnancy? Ugh, I’m so angry with her that my stomach hurts a bit. I’m going to go inside and lie down for a while…”

As they spoke, the couple from the third house fled into the house.

Granny Liu took a deep look at Lin's retreating figure, then instructed Su Shiyan:

"Shi Yan, your third aunt is not feeling well. Quickly go and invite Doctor Li to take a look at her."

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan exchanged a glance with Su Banxia. Seeing Su Banxia nod at him, he quickly agreed and ran out.

Granny Liu gripped the broom tightly and glared at Su Banxia.

"If you tell the truth later, that's fine. But if you dare to lie to me, I will definitely not let you off the hook."

Su Banxia smiled.

"Since you don't believe me, let's see what Doctor Li has to say."

At this moment, the couple from the third house, who had already returned inside, were pacing anxiously.

"From now on, do you think Mom won't be angry?"

Su Congxian sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and sighed heavily.

"She's definitely going to get angry. With Mom's temper, if she found out early, she'd skin you alive!"

Lin glared angrily at Su Congxian.

"You were involved in this too, so why are you being skinned alive instead of me?!"

Su Congxian got up, took Lin's hand, and sat her on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

“Oh dear, don’t you know my mother? She’s fiercely protective of her children. She would never lay a hand on me. I think this matter can’t be kept secret for long. Why don’t we set up a plan to make this child miscarry? That way, we can appease my mother’s anger.”

Mrs. Lin sighed.

"But my period isn't due for another two or three days. If I really miscarry, won't I still bleed?"

Su Congxian held Lin's hand tightly and comforted her:

"It's alright, it'll only be two or three days. When that time comes, you can find an excuse to fight with that brat Su Banxia, ​​and then we'll pin the miscarriage on Su Banxia!"

Lin's eyes lit up when she heard this. Just as she was about to praise Su Congxian for his thoughtfulness, she saw Granny Liu push the door open and come in, followed by the village doctor, Li.

Startled, Lin immediately jumped up from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Mother, why did you invite Doctor Li here?"

Seeing this, Granny Liu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin's arm, secretly applying pressure.

"Oh dear, your body can't withstand this kind of jumping around. Sit down properly. I've specially invited Physician Li to take your pulse today."

As he spoke, he forcefully pressed down on Lin's shoulders, making her sit down, and then looked at Doctor Li and said:

"Dr. Li, I would be grateful if you could take a look."

Doctor Li nodded, put down his medicine box, walked over to Madam Lin, and smiled at her.

"Third brother's wife, your complexion looks rosy, so you don't seem weak. Let me take your pulse first."

Before Lin could refuse, Granny Liu grabbed Lin's wrist and handed her over.

Doctor Li reached out to take the patient's pulse and pondered for a moment.

Everyone present looked at him with tense expressions.

"This third son's wife is very healthy and has no ailments. Nowadays, it's rare to see young people as energetic as her. Don't worry, Granny Liu, your daughter-in-law is in excellent health!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu glanced at Lin, who was chuckling, then looked directly at Doctor Li and asked:

"Doctor Li, is there any sign that my third daughter-in-law is pregnant?"

Doctor Li withdrew his hand and burst into laughter.

"Old Liu, you already have a house full of children and grandchildren, are you still hoping that your third son's wife will give you another grandson?"

Granny Liu released Lin's hand, looked at Doctor Li, and smiled.

“Recently, my third daughter-in-law has been complaining of feeling unwell, so I was worried that she might be pregnant, which is why I asked you to come and take a look.”

Doctor Li stroked his beard, smiled, and waved his hand, saying:

"She's not pregnant, she's not pregnant. Judging from her pulse, her third son's wife should be getting her period in a few days. It's normal for her body to have some reactions before her period."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu glared at Lin through gritted teeth, then suppressed her anger and instructed Su Shiyan:

"Shi Yan, see Doctor Li off for me."

Lin was trembling with fear and kept gesturing to Su Congxian, hoping he could quickly come up with a way to quell Liu Pozi's anger.

To everyone's surprise, Su Congxian, who usually seemed clever, turned into a coward when faced with a major crisis, keeping his head down and not daring to look at Lin Shi.

Anyway, he knew in his heart that if his mother really got angry, she would just scold Lin Shi and that would be the end of it; she wouldn't blame him.

Seeing that Doctor Li had been discharged from the hospital, Granny Liu could no longer contain her anger. She grabbed a broom from the kang (a heated brick bed) and started hitting Lin Shi on the back.

"I'll teach you to lie, I'll teach you to steal money, I'll teach you to trick me! I'll beat you to death today, you wretched slut!"

Granny Liu cursed as she continued hitting Lin Shi, who was spoiled and pampered by Su Congxian and too lazy to do any housework.

Now, being beaten and scolded like this by Granny Liu, she couldn't bear it any longer. She ran around in pain, grimacing and shouting:

"Mom, please stop hitting me. I know I was wrong. Your son instigated me to do all this. Why don't you hit your son? Why are you hitting me all the time?"

Su Congxian, who had been about to muster the courage to plead for Lin, was so frightened by these words that he ran out of the house and hid next to the woodpile, listening carefully to the sounds coming from inside.

Lin caught a glimpse of Su Congxian fleeing out of the corner of her eye, and her heart sank; she had completely lost hope in him.

Lin felt incredibly sad. She was all alone in the Su family and had no one to help her. Even her husband wouldn't protect her. What hope was there for her if she stayed in the Su family?

She hadn't shed a single tear even when Granny Liu had beaten her so fiercely, but now that Su Congxian had run away, she couldn't stop wailing.

"Su Congxian, you heartless coward! I didn't marry you to suffer with you, nor to be your shield. Now that you've turned on me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
