Chapter 254: Taking Back the Ancestral Home and Getting Rid of the Scar
Li Cuihua pointed at Chen Xiaoqing and the kids. Lin Sanniu was shocked. He looked at Li Cuihua in disbelief, “Mother, do you want to chase us out of the family?”
When Li Cuihua said this, not only Lin Sanniu but the other three brothers and their wives were also extremely surprised.
Some were happy, and others were not.
The only people who were happy to see this happen were Lin Siniu and his wife, Liu Juhua. Liu Juhua and Lin Daniu’s affair was embarrassing. Li Cuihui demanded Lin Siniu divorce his wife. But Lin Siniu threatened to leave the family. However, in Long Yan Kingdom, no child was leaving the family if the parents were still alive.
Lin Laosan and Li Cuihua didn’t agree. This was not because they cared about their son but because after the separation, the family’s scandal would be spread, and Lin Siniu would have the right to claim a part of their assets. How would they be willing?
Therefore, Lin Laosan and Li cCuihua came to a compromise and no longer mentioned the matter of divorce, and Li Siniu didn’t mention moving out anymore. The matter was left unsettled.
Lin Siniu’s hatred towards this family increased.
He hated his parents, but he hated Lin Daniu even more. His own brother had cuckolded him. Because of this, he had his eyes on Lin Laosan’s assets.
If Lin Sanniu’s family was chased out, then he wouldn’t get a single share of the family assets. Li Cuihua would make sure that was the case. Li Cuihua believed that her future scholar grandson would look after her retirement, so she didn’t need her useless third son and his family.
On the other hand, Lin Daniu, Lin Erniu and their wives were not happy.
Of course, they didn’t think Lin Sanniu would get a single copper coin from the family either. However, if Lin Sanniu’s family was chased out, who would do all the work around the house? Who would go up the mountain to chop firewood, boil water, wash clothes, and cook?
They weren’t willing to do this kind of tiring work.
When Lin Laosan heard Li Cuihua, his face immediately darkened. He took a few deep puffs of his cigarette, then shouted at Li Cuihua, “nonsense! Could these words be said so casually? We’re not dead yet. If you kick Ol Three out of the family, we’ll be laughed at by the whole village!”
Then again, the whole village was already laughing at them.
Once Lin Laosan spoke, Li Cuihua fell silent.
Lin Erniu received the hint from his wife, Zhou Guixiang, and immediately went forward to say, “mother, that girl has become stronger now. It’s understandable that third brother can’t get the money. Moreover, third younger brother also said that even if we go to report that girl for being unfilial, not to mention that we have to bear the five taels of silver for the examination fee, the girl also has a friend at the court. If they play tricks behind the scenes, we will most likely not get anything.”
Li Cuihua immediately asked nervously, “Ol Two, what should we do then?” She was nervous that her money was about to fly away. In her mind, even though Lin Yuelan had cut off all ties with the Lin family, she still had to serve her elders. Hence, the girl’s money was hers, no matter what.
Lin Erniu looked around, and his eyes settled on Lin Daniu. “Mother, you’ll have to ask big brother about this. Big brother has always been resourceful, so he will definitely come up with a wonderful idea. ”
Why would Lin Erniu push this onto Lin Daniu? He was afraid of Lin Yuelan’s revenge.
He knew his own limits and had long recognized that Lin Yuelan was no longer the weak girl they used to scold and beat whenever they wanted. He didn’t want to be the one to deal with her directly.
Lin Daniu thought that he was smart, but he was a toy in the hands of his second brother.
Lin Daniu’s arrogance was immediately triggered by Lin Erniu’s compliments. He looked up and said, “Well, let me think about it.”
Therefore, he did not notice Lin Erniu giving Zhou Guixiang a look.
Zhou Guixiang said to Lin Sanniu, “Third brother, when mother said that she wanted to chase you out, she didn’t mean it. Please don’t take it to heart. Mother was just too angry. ”
Lin Sanniu was so touched that he burst into tears. He sobbed and said, “sister-in-law, I don’t blame mother. It’s my fault. I didn’t teach Lan ‘Er well and caused her to not have any filial piety. Now that she’s rich, she doesn’t even think about her family. That wretched girl is simply unfilial.”
