Raised us ?

Lin Yan's expression sank, he didn't want to admit that these two women were related to their family, he didn't even think twice before ruthlessly refusing Madam Zhang " I have already said that we won't lend you our family's rice. So why are you talking so much nonsense? Can't you understand simple words? No, means no ! " 

He knew the character of the old Lin family, they loved to take advantage of the weak. If he lend them rice tonight then they would definitely come to borrow rice from the family tomorrow and even after the day after tomorrow. They were the kind of people who wouldn't think twice before leeching of, of any person who showed them even the minimal amount of kindness. 

And what was borrowed was supposed to be returned but was The Old Lin family someone who would repay what they owe? Of course not!
