"Makes sense my ass," Lin Shouyi couldn't help but curse.
A look of shock appeared on Shi Xiuhua's face. In all these years, she'd always thought her father-in-law was good-tempered; she had never seen him curse at someone so openly. She couldn't help but glance at Lin Ding in confusion. Lin Ding shook his head and nudged her toward the door. As she reached the doorway, she could faintly hear her parents-in-law's conversation from inside—
Her mother-in-law, Liu Xiaoya, said, "Old man, don't be so angry. All these years have passed, are you still clinging to that? If they were going to come, they would have come long ago… I reckon their chances were slim to none. Even if we don't want to admit it, all hope was lost long ago. That being the case, it's better that the secret is out. At least this way we'll still have the second son. Getting him to show us some extra filial piety wouldn't be a bad thing, would it?"
