Lin Baiyi nodded repeatedly and then left.

…

“What?”

After returning to his own room, Lin Baiyi told his wife about the matter, only for Yang Lin to look at her husband in astonishment, a big jump at the news.

It’s not that the shock of hearing this news hadn’t occurred to her, rather it was her husband’s comment about ‘finding a good mother-in-law’.

“Dad said he wants to find a good mother-in-law for He’er? With the way she is, what kind of good mother-in-law could she find? It’s already a blessing if she can find a man with two legs.” This is what Yang Lin blurted out.

Lin Baiyi: “…”

Why does it sound so awkward when she says that?

“Lin, that is your daughter.” He helplessly reminded.

“Just because she’s my child, I can tell the truth.” Yang Lin said irritably.

“You’re not unaware of what life was like for me and my grandmother before I married you.”

She reminded Lin Baiyi.

“Yes, yes, I know.” Lin Baiyi quickly nodded.

Before Yang Lin married into his family, her family life was unbearable. Her mother is a particularly ambitious and controlling woman. After marrying Yang Lin’s father, she took control of all the affairs in the family, making her mother-in-law serve her before she had children. As the child grew up a bit, she made the child serve her.

In short, she caused a lot of suffering to the entire family.

Yang Lin witnessed her grandmother being beaten, scolded, and bullied by her mother, which lead to her depression and ultimately her death. Finally, she managed to get married and escaped from the suffering.

Naturally, Yang Lin’s mother saw her daughter’s marriage as a money-making business. She demanded fifteen liang (a Chinese unit of weight) of silver as a bride price from his family and didn’t give a single copper penny as dowry. She didn’t even send over a wedding quilt or pillow.

Later, in the year that Lin Caihe was born, blatantly claiming to come to see her granddaughter, she took the opportunity to secretly take away all of the clothes that the child could wear in the family when leaving, and she didn’t even leave a piece of diaper.

If it weren’t for his elder brother bringing out some of Sangsang’s clothes, Lin Caihe would have frozen to death.

So until now, Yang Lin has always been grateful to his elder brother, and she treasured Sangsang as if she was her own daughter.

“You know this and still you speak.” Yang Lin gave him a disdainful glance.

“What can we do, we can’t keep girl He at home forever, can we?” Lin Baiyi helplessly asked her back.

“We have to find a marriage for her after all.”

Hearing this, Yang Lin let out a heavy sigh, there was nothing she could do about this daughter of hers.

“Are you going to see Aunt Guihua?” She asked.

“Mmm.” Lin Baiyi nodded.

Ya Guihua is the matchmaker in their village―and in her mind, she keeps track of the young people in several nearby villages. Who else could they go to if not her?

“In that case, tell Aunt Guihua to find a…a somewhat tough mother-in-law for He’er, someone who can rein in her temper. We don’t want to end up marrying our daughter off to a family and causing them trouble.”

Yang Lin said seriously to her husband.

“Ah?”

Lin Baiyi’s face was full of confusion. He couldn’t believe these words came out of his wife’s mouth.

“My dear, you must be confused by girl He’s misbehavior. She is still your daughter, after all, even though she has done some indefensible things…”

“It’s because of the outrageous things she’s done.” Yang Lin interrupted him, snorting coldly.

“You tell me, is there anything that He’er dare not do now? She’s even gone so far as to kill someone. If we don’t find a tough mother-in-law, what will become of her in the future? I’m thinking now, fortunately, our family was poor before and didn’t let He’er learn many characters. If she really knew, who knows what kind of trouble she could cause.”
