An Unreasonable Request

"Enough, brother," Lin Lao'er implored, "Although Su Bing and Su Li are not related to us by blood, they are bound to us by fate. They call Gu Zi 'mother', and that makes me their grandfather. You cannot possibly expect to take these two school admission slots from them."

Gu Zi and Mother Lin entered the room, followed closely by Lin Laoda's wife. They found Lin Lao'er standing by the table, trembling with rage. Mother Lin rushed to support her husband, her voice laced with irritation, "What did you say to him, brother? He's so upset. His leg hasn't fully recovered yet. If anything happens to him, our family will never forgive you."

Mother Lin knew her husband well. In all their years together, she had never seen him lose his temper. This outburst could only mean that Lin Laoda had made an unreasonable demand. It was clear that Lin Laoda had singled out her husband, taking advantage of his good nature and easygoing demeanor.
