Xu Chunmai tensed up immediately upon hearing Wu Chunhua's voice.

Lin Chuan comforted him, "I'll handle things, you don't need to worry about it."

As Wu Chunhua and Lin Youfu walked into the courtyard, the aroma of the chicken grew stronger and stronger, making their mouths water.

Wu Chunhua felt resentful.

Seeing Lin Chuan come out, she angrily said, "So, Lin Chuan, you took our money and went to your mother-in-law to fawn over her, and you even got to eat chicken!"

Lin Youfu was also very dissatisfied, even though Lin Chuan earned money and his parents would also subsidize them.

However, Lin Xinglong and Lin Caifeng did nothing. Their family spends a lot of money, so they don't eat meat casually.

Anyone who has the money to eat meat and chicken is a spendthrift and doesn't know how to manage a household.

Lin Chuan looked at Wu Chunhua, and then saw Lin Youfu.

He said in a deep voice, “Your money? I earned all that money. Let me tell you, you don’t have any. Chunmai had a difficult childbirth and had a cesarean section, which cost 822 yuan at the hospital. In addition to the other expenses incurred in the past two days, I used your names, along with your house and land in Yuquan Village as collateral, and wrote an IOU. Now you owe a total of 802 yuan.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Youfu and Wu Chunhua immediately became furious.

Wu Chunhua, hands on her hips, spitting everywhere, shouted, "What did you say? Xu Chunmai spent over 800 yuan to give birth? You're all going to die! What woman spends over 800 yuan to give birth?!"

So much money! Her heart was bleeding!

Lin Chuan watched Wu Chunhua jump up and down with great calm. At this time, Wu Chunhua had not been exposed to the outside world for long. She was simply bad, and also stupid and vicious, but she did not understand much yet.

"Mom, you've got it wrong. Chunmai suffered terribly giving birth to my child, Linchuan, and almost died. The eight hundred yuan was spent on giving birth to my child, so don't pin it all on Chunmai. Mom, so in your heart, two lives are less valuable than eight hundred yuan?"

Lin Youfu angrily retorted, "You unfilial son, you can't use my name, your mother's name, or the house and land of our family to mortgage and borrow money! Pay back the money right now!"

Lin Chuan said slowly, "Dad, what's the rush? I'll definitely pay back the money. But who told you to be my parents? Your son has done something wrong, so you're not a father for nothing. Do you think you can just take this 'Dad' so easily? Don't be afraid when the debt collectors come looking for you. I've already told you beforehand."

Lin Youfu pointed at Lin Chuan, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

"You, you, how could I have a son like you!"

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Dad, don't be like that. Look, you're not even as good as my mother. In the end, aren't you two here to take Chunmai back to recuperate after childbirth? Fine, that's no problem."

"Oh, right, I need to make this clear first. Chunmai had surgery, and she had such a long, deep incision." Lin Chuan said, gesturing as he spoke. "She can't get out of bed. Mother, you need to take good care of Chunmai. You need to feed her, wash her clothes, turn her over every half hour, massage her legs and feet, take care of the baby, change diapers, and breastfeed. Chunmai had a C-section this time, so she doesn't have much breast milk. The baby needs formula, from the supply and marketing cooperative, three yuan a pack. You'll have to pay for that, since you're the grandparents. The doctor said Chunmai needs to eat six meals a day, take good care of herself, and can't get angry, otherwise the wound will worsen and could be fatal. If you don't take good care of her then, you'll be murderers and go to jail!"

Lin Chuan dared to say this because none of the people Wu Chunhua knew had ever had a cesarean section, and it must have sounded terrifying to them.

That's a huge cut on my stomach.

The couple currently have absolutely no knowledge about cesarean sections.

Wu Chunhua never expected that she would end up with a mountain of debt because Lin Chuan had made her take care of Xu Chunmai, who had a large cut on her arm.

"Lin Chuan, you, you... who said I came to ask you to come back for postpartum care? Let me tell you, from now on, don't ever set foot in our house again. Get as far away from me as possible!"

Lin Chuan touched his nose. "Mom, what you said was really harsh."

He looked at the many villagers from Changling Village who had come to watch the commotion, and raised his voice, "Fellow villagers, please bear witness, it is my mother, Wu Chunhua, who complained that her son and daughter-in-law spent too much money on having a baby. It is my mother who wants my wife and child dead! It is my mother who, disregarding the kindness my wife has shown in taking care of the whole family, is now kicking us when we're down, kicking our family of four out of the house so that she won't have to take care of her hardworking daughter-in-law for so many years!"

"They say sincerity begets sincerity, but my wife must be heartbroken. She's done so much, and I haven't even received a single word of concern in return! Now that things have come to this, I have no choice. If I take my wife and child back, I'd be unworthy of being a man!"

Wu Chunhua was so angry that she felt a tightness in her chest, and Lin Youfu's face turned purple.

Wu Chunhua felt like she could barely speak.

After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Lin Chuan...you...you're talking nonsense!"

Lin Yan, hiding behind someone, gave her husband Xie Shaowen a push.

Xie Shaowen knew all too well about his wife's family affairs. Originally, he looked down on Lin Chuan, thinking he wasn't manly enough.

Lin Chuan's actions today truly impressed him.

He shouted at the top of his lungs from behind, "Lin Chuan is right, we'll vouch for you, it's your parents who didn't want you!"

When he shouted that, some people joined in the jeering, "Yes, we'll be your witnesses!"

Wu Chunhua and Lin Youfu still hadn't left, so Lin Chuan added fuel to the fire. He called into the house, "Chunmai, wait a moment, I'm going inside to pack my things. It seems my mother has had a change of heart and feels guilty. She wants you to come back and take care of you. Let's go now."

Wu Chunhua glared at Lin Chuan hatefully, then pulled Lin Youfu, "Lin Chuan, you'll regret this! Dad, let's go!"

With no more excitement to be seen, the villagers gradually dispersed.

Lin Yan and Xie Shaowen didn't leave; they stayed outside the courtyard gate.

Lin Chuan walked over and said, "Big sister, brother-in-law."

Xie Shaowen looked Lin Chuan up and down. "It should have been done a long time ago. What's the use of being filial to your parents?"

Lin Chuan nodded. "Indeed, it's useless. It's not too late to realize it now."

He looked at Lin Yan beside him, his eldest sister who was still alive.

"Big sister, do you still want to take the college entrance exam?"

He knew that Lin Yan had always loved reading, but because of his grandparents' obstruction, Lin Yan hadn't finished elementary school and had been forced to do chores at home ever since.

His grandparents always said that it was useless for a girl to study; she would get married sooner or later anyway.

However, Lin Yan did not neglect her studies while working.

In his past life, when he was in school, he even gave his textbooks to Lin Yan. His older sister was very talented at studying.

Lin Yan blinked. "College entrance exam? What's that? I'm already 27. Besides, what level are they at? What level am I at? I'm already a mother of two, how could I possibly take the exam again?"
