Lin Changfa suppressed his rage and said, "We've been married for twenty years. I have one last question for you: are you and the Yu family still separated?"

The three brothers, Lin Zijun, Lin Zizheng, and Lin Zikun, all sensed the resolve in their father's words. They approached Yu Lanhua and practically begged, "Mom, we are your family, your biological children. Why are you so ungrateful? We don't even have enough food to reach Baixing Town. Do you really want us to starve to death?"

Yu Lanhua was completely obsessed with it and grabbed Lin Zizheng's sleeve: "I am the daughter of the Yu family, I can't ignore my mother!"

"Mom!" Lin Zijun tried to persuade her again, but was pulled back by a strong force. It was Lin Changfa, who pursed his lips and looked unusually calm. Their father's expression frightened the three brothers, but their mother's stubbornness was incredibly disheartening. Everything they needed to say had been said, and as sons, they really didn't know what to do.

"Yu Lanhua, since you can't let go of your mother's family, I'll let you go back. Considering you've given birth to children for our Lin family, I'll bring you three kilograms of rice and two kilograms of taro. Our family has less than twenty kilograms of food in stock, so this is the biggest concession I can make for you." Lin Changfa looked at his two wives standing silently by the side. "Zhuying, pack your mother's things. Zijun, you and Zikun will escort her part of the way. Just make sure you get her to the Yu family."

Yu Lanhua's wailing voice paused: "Long hair, what do you mean, are you going to divorce me and let me go back to my parents' home?"

Lin Changfa said without hiding anything: "Yes, I want to divorce you. I will bear witness in front of all the Lin family members. From now on, our relationship as husband and wife is severed. We will marry each other and have nothing to do with each other. If you are willing to return to the Yu family and devote your life to it, it will no longer be our Lin family's business. At the same time, don't even think about getting any benefits from our Lin family in the future."

"If you agree, you can take these five kilograms of rice. If you don't agree, you will be a good daughter-in-law of the Lin family. If you don't support your parents again, I will break your legs."

"I...I..." Yu Lanhua hesitated. On one hand, there was her own home, and on the other hand, there was her mother's family who gave birth to her and raised her. So many people in the Yu family depended on her for their survival. If she didn't go back, wouldn't her mother and brothers and nephews starve to death?

But if she was really kicked out of the Lin family, what would she do with the rest of her life? All three of her sons were surnamed Lin, so she couldn't take them with her. Lin Changfa wouldn't let her take them with her either. Otherwise, if she took them back to her parents' home, they would be three strong laborers, enough to support the Yu family...

"Big sister, big sister!" It seemed that the fate of Yu Lanhua and the Lin family had come to an end. The Yu brothers, who could not wait for Yu Lanhua anyway, secretly followed her here and happened to see the big sister being caught by her brother-in-law.

Originally, they shouldn't have interfered in family affairs, but when their brother-in-law was willing to use five kilograms of grain to buy off their eldest sister's relationship with the Lin family, they couldn't sit still any longer. Three kilograms of rice and two kilograms of taro were enough for the family to eat for several days if they were frugal. And this eldest sister was also... what else was there to think about? Break off! Of course they had to break off with them! Otherwise, where would the Yu family get all the fine grains and taro to fill their stomachs?

Normally, the melons and dates that my elder sister secretly brought home would only keep me from starving to death, and it would be a long time before I could have a full meal. Now that I had the opportunity to get food, why should I hesitate?

"Break up with him! Such a heartless man is not worth our concern. Let's take the food and leave. Come back to the Yu family with us. From now on, whenever we have a bite to eat, your elder sister will have a bite to eat as well. Liang'er and Gu'er will also be there to take care of you in your old age. They are your closest relatives with the same blood as you. They will not abandon you like the Lin family!" Yu Liulang's tone was full of irritation.

Lin Zijun's fists were clenched. If it weren't for the Yu family's burden that tricked his mother into going around in circles, how could his mother be so focused on supporting her family?

Lin Zikun and Lin Zizheng were younger and full of vigor, so they had no good feelings towards their uncles who always looked down on them. They clenched their fists to teach them a lesson and with one punch, they knocked the thin Yu Silang into the air.

Yu Silang screamed and fell to the ground: "Ah!"

Yu Lanhua immediately rushed over and slapped Lin Zikun: "What are you doing? He is your uncle!"

The slap didn't actually hurt, but for Lin Zikun it was more painful than being stabbed. This was a matter of dignity, and it was a slap her mother slapped her in the face to protect her uncle who was like a blood-sucking worm!

Lin Changfa finally couldn't help it. He slapped Yu Lanhua for the first time after being married for more than 20 years without having to fight.

Yu Lanhua covered her face in disbelief: "You hit me! You hit me!"

Lin Changfa dragged her to Lin Changxi: "Chief, Chief!"

Lin Rui was a little confused. He didn't know why the war suddenly spread to him. He sat up straight from where he was sleeping and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want to divorce my wife!" Lin Changfa did not hide the volume of his voice at all. He wished that everyone in the Lin clan would know that he had drawn a clear line between himself and Yu Lanhua and the Yu family behind her.

Lin Rui scratched his head. Lying there and listening to the whole thing, he naturally felt embarrassed to pretend to know nothing. He scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't divorce my wife."

"Uncle, your aunt has given birth to children for you over the years, respected the elders, and fulfilled her duties. She has never violated any of the seven grounds for divorce. There is no reason for you to divorce her." Although Yu Lanhua, the aunt, is confused about her mother's family affairs, she really can't find any fault in her during her years in the Lin family.

As for her, when the Lin family was so poor that the Yu family looked down on them, they lived a stable life; but now on the road to escape famine, the three Lin families had saved up too much food when they set out thanks to Lin Rui's help. When they met the desperate Yu family, how could they let go of such a big piece of fat meat that was in their mouths.

Lin Changfa was also firm in his attitude: "I'm putting it here. The decision was made by her. Since I can't divorce her, then I will divorce her! In short, as long as Yu Lanhua's heart is with the Yu family, I can no longer be her husband!"

"Lin Changfa, you have such a cruel heart!" Yu Lanhua also burst into tears. Her two brothers supported her on both sides and glared at Lin Changfa: "I called you brother-in-law in vain. Lin Changfa, our Yu family has given you enough respect!"

Lin Changfa sneered back, "Keep your pride to yourself. I've been married to Yu Lanhua for many years, and you've only called me brother-in-law three times. You don't care about me as your brother-in-law, so how could I care about you two cheap brothers-in-law?"

"Believe it or not, if you say one more word, I will let Yu Lanhua go with you and I won't give her even a pound of food!"

Lin Changfa's words instantly silenced Yu Silang and Yu Liulang, who dared not say another word. They had been stirring up trouble in front of Yu Lanhua today just to get those five kilograms of grain. If the grain was gone, why would they want Yu Lanhua to go back? It would only add another mouth to feed!
