Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng not only have a deep affection for each other, but also achieve each other's careers. It can be said that they are the most door-to-door pair in the Republic of China period, and they are also the most envied model couple.

However, even if there are talented women, once married, they will face the problem of mother-in-law and concubines, so how well does Lin Huiyin get along with them?
Under the influence of his father, Lin Changmin, Lin Hui was erudite at a young age and could speak fluent English. And as early as the age of 16, Lin Changmin took her to Europe to increase her knowledge in order to make her a person who could improve society in the future.
Talented and talented, the family lineage is also quite good, Lin Huiyin's conditions naturally attracted the pursuit of countless men. Among them is Xu Zhimo, who did not hesitate to abandon his wife and son for her sake.
Liang Qichao and Lin Changmin have been close friends for many years, and Lin Huiyin grew up watching Liang Qichao. Later, under his strong promotion, Liang Sicheng finally married Lin Huiyin.
In a letter to his daughter, Liang Qichao proudly said that he could marry Lin Huiyin back as a daughter-in-law, which was his second successful thing. It can be seen how satisfied and proud Liang Qichao is with the combination of Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng.
Not only was Liang Qichao satisfied with Lin Huiyin, but even Liang Sicheng's brothers and sisters were quite supportive of him marrying Lin Huiyin. Even on the day of Liang Sicheng's wedding, the third brother Liang Siyong also specially wrote a couplet of "Miss Lin began to come out with a thousand calls, and Liang Gongzi waited and waited for the final pair" to tease them.
However, there was a person in the Liang family who was dissatisfied with Lin Huiyin and strongly opposed it from the beginning. This person is Lin Huiyin's mother-in-law Li Huixian.

Li Huixian was born as a eunuch at the end of the Qing Dynasty and received a strict education since childhood. Not only can he be good at poetry, but he is also quite proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so naturally everyone is beautiful.
Liang Qichao's family is quite poor, and he can marry Li Huixian, naturally by talent.
What is even more rare is that after Li Huixian married into the Liang family, she did not feel that the Liang family was poor, but honored her in-laws, and was quite worried about family affairs, and at the same time she was extremely supportive of Liang Qichao's career, so the Liang family praised Li Huixian very highly.
Li Huixian is also not an old-fashioned woman's thought, she not only learns new learning, but also founds the "Current Affairs Newspaper" with Liang Qichao to advocate the restoration of the new thoughts.
In addition, when Liang Qichao was in exile, Li Huixian took on the responsibility of taking care of the family with her own strength, so Li Huixian's status in the Liang family was very high, and in many matters, she often had the final say.
The reason why Li Huixian did not agree with Liang Sicheng marrying Lin Huiyin was because Lin Huiyin was a new woman and a very talented woman, which obviously did not meet the image of her intended daughter-in-law.
In Li Huixian's view, Liang Sicheng is thin, and it is best to find a dignified and virtuous woman who can enter the hall and the kitchen, and is also very capable in managing family affairs.
As for Lin Huiyin, there was no problem in entering the hall, but she did not necessarily enter the kitchen, so Li Huixian was not very satisfied with her.
In addition, Li Huixian also looked down on Lin Huiyin's birth mother, believing that she came from a small business family and was an uninformed woman.

Then something happened.
At that time, Liang Sicheng fell on a motorcycle and was hospitalized. Because of the seriousness of his injuries, Lin Huiyin visited him every day.
At that time, the weather was very hot, and Liang Sicheng simply did not wear a long shirt, only a vest lying on the bed.
Lin Huiyin not only did not shy away from it, but also helped turn over, wipe sweat and feed.
For what Lin Huiyin did, Liang Sicheng was both grateful and happy. However, Li Huixian believed that "men and women were not intimate", and that Lin Hui's behavior was really inappropriate because he did not know the measure.
Therefore, Li Huixian has always been very opposed to the marriage of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin.
Liang Qichao has always respected Li Huixian, so he secretly comforts Liang Sicheng and asks him to try his best to maintain his relationship with Lin Huiyin.
Although Li Huixian did not agree to marry Lin Huiyin, she died earlier. Therefore, after her death, after another 3 years of mourning, Liang Sichengcai and Lin Huiyin eventually became dependents.
Liang Sicheng is not an only son in the family, he also has 4 brothers and 4 sisters.
The daughter will marry someone else's family, but all 4 brothers will marry back to their wives. Although Liang Sizhong died young, there were still three brothers Liang Silyong, sixth brother Liang Sida and ninth brother Liang Sili.

So, how did Lin Huiyin deal with the relationship between concubines and concubines?
As the eldest sister-in-law, Lin Huiyin is still quite concerned about the lives of his brothers and sisters.
The third brother, Liang Siyong, was the most composed of several brothers, and when Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng were married for the third year, he married his cousin Li Fuman, who had been studying and living in their home.
Li Fuman is Li Huixian's niece and has lived with her in the Liang family since childhood. The cost of her study and living was all borne by Liang Qichao.
After Li Fuman graduated from Yenching University, Liang Siyong also returned from studying abroad. Since he has lived in one piece since he was a child, he can be regarded as a green plum bamboo horse.
At that time, Liang Qichao had died, but because Liang Sicheng was busy designing the architectural design of the Geological Pavilion and the Gray Building, he could not find time to come to Zhang Luosiyong's wedding.
Li Fuman was already silent, and Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng were busy with construction work for many years, so she and Li Dingman did not have much intersection.
However, Lin Huiyin still hopes to fulfill the responsibility of the eldest sister-in-law. So, when the sixth brother Liang Sida and Yu Xuezhen got married. Lin Huiyin still tried to find time to manage their wedding. For example, the wedding arrangement, the bridal makeup, and even she took the time to design a wedding dress for Yu Xuezhen.
By the time the ninth brother Liang Sili and Mai Xiuqiong got married, Lin Hui had already died of illness, so there was no intersection.
Therefore, Lin Huiyin's concubines who wanted to come and go at that time were mainly Li Fuman and Yu Xuezhen. However, because they do not live together, they do not have unpleasant troubles with each other.

On the contrary, several of Liang Sicheng's sisters and Lin Huiyin were quite incompatible.
For example, the eldest sister Liang Sishun had the deepest affection for Li Huixian, so after Li Huixian's death, she also opposed Liang Sicheng marrying Lin Huiyin. In the end, it was under the persuasion of Liang Qichao that he changed his attitude.
However, Liang Sishun later still had prejudices against Lin Huiyin. When her daughter was at Yenching University, she often lived in Lin Huiyin's house.
Due to the influence of the emancipation of the minds of the women of the Republic of China, Liang Sishun's daughter refused to be subject to her control anymore and said that she wanted to love and marry freely.
For Liang Sishun, this is simply a big rebellion. Annoyed, he thought that Lin Huiyin had damaged his daughter, so he said a lot of bad things about Lin Huiyin.
Lin Huiyin was very unhappy when he learned about it. It is said that Liang Sishun is like this because of jealousy.
In addition to Liang Sishun, several other sisters-in-law are also picky about Lin Huiyin, and from time to time they have quarrels with her.
Whenever this happens, Liang Sicheng always pretends to be deaf and dumb, and never makes a sound.
This disappointed Lin Huiyin. So much so that she lamented in front of her friends that one of the reasons for her poor health was the relatives of the Liang family.
