The old Lin family thought that they were wasting the family money by treating their mother who was like a hollow pit. It was as if his brothers and him were taking advantage of the old Lin family when the truth was that even the old Lin family was relying on them, if they wanted they could have used every cent on their mother if they wanted but they could not.
The more the old Lin family acted like this the more Lin Jing wanted to take his family away from the old Lin family but they would always pressurise him with filial piety and he would stop, his mother too was too much of a pacifist and did not want to fight for herself, back then if Su Wan did not force them to separate by threatening to divorce them, he was sure that he would have stayed in the old Lin family and let them suck his family.
