Chapter 488 The weasel pays New Year’s greetings to the chicken!
The second day of the first lunar month, also known as the second day of the Lunar New Year, is also known as the day to welcome the son-in-law. On this day, a married daughter will bring her husband and children back to her parents' home to reunite with her family and express her filial piety and longing for her parents.

After Lin Qiuyu got up at around seven in the morning, she was looking forward to the arrival of Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue, because she planned to wait for Lin Qiuyue to leave and then follow Lin Qiuyue to Jia Dongming's house to watch TV.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Qiuyu ran to the gate of the yard, waiting for the arrival of Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue. As a result, she waited for more than half an hour, but did not wait for her sister whom she had been thinking about day and night. Instead, she saw a few people she least wanted to see, walking towards their home, talking and laughing.

The few people walking towards Lin Qiuyu's house were Lin Qiuyu's uncle and his family.

Lin Qiuyue's uncle is named Huang Nanfang and her aunt is named Zhou Shurong. Before Lin Qiuyue's father died, the two families often visited each other. Later, after Lin Qiuyue's father died, Lin Qiuyue's mother became seriously ill because of her father's death. In order to treat her mother, the Lin family spent all of Lin's father's pension.

Once, Lin's mother was seriously ill and needed money for hospitalization. Lin Qiuyue took Lin Qiuyu to Huang Nanfang's house to borrow money. Not only did Huang Nanfang refuse to lend money, but the two sisters were also ridiculed by Zhou Shurong. Later, if it weren't for Lin Qiuyue's uncle who took out all his savings to pay for Lin's mother's treatment, Lin's mother might not have survived.

Because of this experience of borrowing money, the Lin brothers and sisters never went to look for Huang Nanfang again, and the two families never had any contact since then.

When Lin Qiuyu saw Huang Nanfang and his companions walking towards their home, disgust flashed in his eyes. He turned around and walked towards the yard, muttering to himself, "Why did this family come to our house today?"

When Lin Qiuyu walked into the middle courtyard, she saw her mother standing at the door of her house, distributing candies and peanuts to the children in the courtyard. She quickly shouted to her mother, "Mom! My uncle and his family are here!"

Mother Lin, who was distributing candy to the children, was stunned when she heard Lin Qiuyu's shout. She asked Lin Qiuyu with a puzzled look on her face: "Qiuyu! What did you say? Your uncle and his family are here? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

When Lin Qiuyu heard her mother's question and thought about what happened that year, she replied with disgust, "Mom! Although I haven't seen that family for several years, I still remember their faces clearly. How could I have recognized the wrong person?"

Lin Qiuyue paused for a moment and continued, "That family hasn't interacted with us for several years, but today they all came to our house. I guess they are just paying New Year's greetings to chickens, and they have no good intentions!"

"Lin Qiuyu! You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? No matter what, they are your uncle and aunt, your elders. How can you say such things?" When Mother Lin heard her little daughter use the word "weasel" to describe her eldest brother, her face suddenly darkened and she scolded Lin Qiuyu in a very stern tone.

When Lin Qiuyu heard her mother's scolding, she was not afraid. Instead, she retorted, "Mom! When you were sick and needed money for treatment, my sister and I went to borrow money from them. They obviously had money, but they were unwilling to lend it to us. They also said a lot of unpleasant things. Since then, I have not regarded them as my elders."

When Lin's mother heard Lin Qiuyu mention what happened that year, she didn't know how to respond to Lin Qiuyu's rebuttal for a moment.

"Limei! Limei! Your eldest brother and his family are here." Just when Lin's mother was speechless after Lin Qiuyu's rebuttal, Aunt Zhang in the front yard led Huang Nanfang's family from the hanging flower gate to the middle yard, and shouted to Lin's mother with a smile.

When Mother Lin heard Aunt Zhang's shout, she instinctively looked in the direction of the hanging flower gate. When she saw Huang Nanfang's family holding gifts, she pretended to be surprised and asked, "Brother! Sister-in-law! How come you have time to come here today?"

The reason why Huang Nanfang and his family came to the Lin family with gifts today was mainly because he accidentally heard a piece of news a few years ago that Huang Dongfang's youngest son Huang Xiaopeng joined the steel mill and worked as an apprentice in the steel mill fleet. This job was actually arranged by his sister Huang Limei's son-in-law.

After Huang Nanfang learned the news, he went to Huang Dongfang's house. Finally, under his repeated questioning, he learned that his niece Lin Qiuyue had got married a few months ago, and Lin Qiuyue's husband was the head of the security department of the steel rolling mill and a deputy-division-level cadre.

Upon learning that Lin Qiuyue had married a powerful cadre, Huang Nanfang immediately realized that his sister's family was going to be prosperous. The couple decided to wait for the second day of the Chinese New Year when the son-in-law would return home, and then bring gifts to visit the Lin family. When Huang Nanfang saw Huang Limei, who had recovered, he immediately smiled and greeted her, saying, "Limei! I haven't seen you for a few years, so I brought your sister-in-law and Qiangzi to see you this time."

Although Huang Limei had just scolded Lin Qiuyu for being disrespectful, what happened a few years ago made her see clearly the character of her eldest brother's family.

Although Huang Limei didn't know why her elder brother, who she hadn't contacted for several years, came to see her with his family today, she knew that she would never hit someone who smiled at her. Facing Huang Nanfang's greeting, Huang Limei smiled and greeted Huang Nanfang and his wife: "Brother! Sister-in-law! How come you have time to come here today? Please come in."

Huang Limei said this, and she did not forget to instruct Lin Qiuyu: "Xiaoyu! Go and make tea for your uncle and aunt."

Lin Qiuyu looked at the family with disgust in her eyes. When she heard Huang Limei's order, she pretended not to hear Huang Limei's shout and walked directly towards the Chuihua Gate.

Huang Limei saw that Lin Qiuyu actually ignored her order. She knew Lin Qiuyu's thoughts clearly in her heart, and she scolded her angrily, "Girl, come back later and see how I deal with you."

Lin Qiuyu, feeling depressed, came to the gate of the compound again and just happened to see Jia Dongming riding a bicycle.

Seeing Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue coming, Lin Qiuyu's unhappiness immediately disappeared, and she quickly shouted to the two of them happily: "Brother-in-law! Sister! You are finally here."

When Jia Dongming saw Lin Qiuyu running towards him, he immediately stepped on the brakes and said to Lin Qiuyue who was sitting in the back seat with a smile: "Qiuyue! Qiuyu is here to greet us."

Lin Qiuyue, who was holding a gift, heard Lin Qiuyu's shout. After Jia Dongming stopped his bicycle, she immediately jumped off the back seat and saw Lin Qiuyu running towards her. She smiled and asked Lin Qiuyu, "Qiuyu! It's so cold outside. Why are you running outside in the yard instead of waiting at home?"

When Lin Qiuyu heard Lin Qiuyue's question and thought of the people who came to her house, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she quickly said to Lin Qiuyue: "Sister! My uncle and his family are here."

When Lin Qiuyue heard what Lin Qiuyu had said, she was surprised and quickly asked Lin Qiuyu, "Qiuyu! What did you say? My uncle and his family came to our house? Is this true?"

When Lin Qiuyu heard Lin Qiuyue's question and saw Lin Qiuyue's shocked expression, she thought of what happened a few years ago, nodded gloomily, and replied, "Sister! This is absolutely true. That family arrived at our house a few minutes earlier than you. From the looks of them, I think they are just paying New Year's greetings to chickens and have no good intentions!"

Jia Dongming, who was holding his bicycle, heard the conversation between the two sisters and asked Lin Qiuyue curiously, "Qiuyue! What's going on? Is there any conflict between your family and your uncle's family?"

When Lin Qiuyu heard Jia Dongming's question, he told Jia Dongming everything that happened that year without waiting for Lin Qiuyue to speak.

After hearing what Lin Qiuyu said, Jia Dongming finally understood the reason. However, this was an internal matter of the Lin family, and as a son-in-law, he couldn't say anything. He smiled and said, "Qiuyue! Qiuyu! No matter what your uncle came to your house for, he is your mother's biological brother after all. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. We still have to face what we should face."

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Lin Qiuyue felt that what Jia Dongming said made sense, so she nodded and said to him, "Brother Dongming! You are right. No matter what purpose my uncle came with, he is still my mother's biological brother. Since my mother didn't say anything, we, the younger generation, naturally can't say anything either."
