Chapter 150 Severing Ties

Unable to stop her, everyone could only watch as Yin Qing left with Little Peach Blossom in her arms.

"What on earth is this person in the county thinking!" Several people in the Public Security Bureau huddled together, their faces grim.

"What else could they be thinking? They're incredibly audacious, wanting to have their cake and eat it too."

"If this person really gains real power, there will be a lot of bad luck for them. What do you think?"

"Yes, this matter needs to be handled properly."

Several people looked at each other.

Such a person should never be allowed to truly gain power; instead, they should be dealt with decisively before they can firmly establish themselves in their position.

"You all have a solution?" someone asked.

"Yes."

"Then let's talk about it together."

"Report it!" Sure enough, everyone had the same idea.

Upon hearing this word, everyone exchanged glances, understanding each other without a word.

However, that's not enough; we need to recruit more people. These days, no matter how capable or well-connected you are, don't forget the opinions of the masses. When a large group of people agree, the one who disagrees will suffer.

So, unbeknownst to many, township production teams and some people in the county who were dissatisfied with Gao Ming's rise to power began to secretly contact each other. No matter what they did, everyone received the same answer.

From a profit perspective, Gao Ming acted too hastily and offended too many people. From a human perspective, Lin Guangsheng is a local, and Gao Ming's attempt to make an example of him backfired. Moreover, Lin Guangsheng has a wide circle of friends, and most of them are willing to give him face.

However, this kind of thing doesn't happen overnight. Just as Yin Qing was preparing to put a sack over Gao Ming's head, news suddenly came that Lin Guangyi, the person from the old house, had severed ties with them.

"What did you say?" Yin Qing was momentarily dazed.

The man who spoke looked at Yin Qing with sympathy: "Look, it's all been published in the newspaper. Lin Guangyi, Lin Guangxing, Lin Guangping, and your parents-in-law have completely severed ties with the eldest son's family, Lin Guangsheng. From now on, they will have no relation whatsoever, regardless of poverty or wealth!"

Yin Qing took the newspaper, took a deep breath, and then looked at the contents. Although it was just a small place, it was clearly stated that the old house had completely severed ties with their family.

"Comrade Yin, are you alright?" The other person looked at her with some concern.

"It's alright." Yin Qing took a deep breath.

"Those people at the old house are really scum. They've benefited so much from you all these years, and now that Guang Sheng has gotten into trouble, they've cut ties with you. Aren't they afraid of being cursed behind their backs?" He came over as soon as he saw the news, which shows how angry he was.

Yin Qing scoffed: "What are they afraid of!"

This outcome was neither unexpected nor shocking; I just didn't expect it to be so decisive—the relationship could be severed in just a few days.

Yin Qing closed her eyes briefly: "Thanks, I understand."

"Don't worry, Comrade Lin Guangsheng will definitely be back," the other person reassured them.

"Thank you for your good wishes."

"Then I'll be going now." There's no need to stay any longer after this is over.

Take care.

Yin Qing saw the newspaper, and naturally everyone else saw it too. They had all sorts of opinions, and the people from the Xiaolin Village production team were even more shocked, rushing to Lin Guangyi's place one by one.

"Captain, are you out of your mind? How could you do such a thing!" This was said by someone of higher seniority.

"Yes, Captain, why did you publish a notice in the newspaper severing ties with Guang Sheng? What were you thinking!"

"Old Lin, say something! How could you agree to that!"

In any case, most of the people in Xiaolin Village disagreed, and now they found Lin Guangyi's family even more unreasonable, wondering why they had chosen such a path.

Lin Guangyi squatted there silently without saying a word, while Old Lin kept smoking his pipe.

Grandma Lin looked at the group of people speaking impatiently: "If we don't sever ties, we'll all suffer together. Don't just stand there and talk like it's nothing."

"No, Grandma Lin, that's your own son."

"That's right. We all saw how you treated Guangsheng back then. Over the years, we've seen you all doing better and better, and we even thought your family relationship had improved. But we never expected that as soon as this happened, you would push Guangsheng out. Do you have any humanity left?!"

"Humanity? When I treated Guang Sheng like that, none of you stood up for me," Old Lady Lin mocked.

Yes, they are in the wrong in this matter, but that's not what we're talking about now.

"Aren't you afraid of disappointing Guang Sheng by doing this? Maybe Guang Sheng will come back soon," someone asked.

"Don't worry, even if they really come back, we won't shamelessly pester them," Grandma Lin said decisively.

Okay, some people said they couldn't argue with Old Lady Lin, so they could only rely on Old Man Lin: "Old Man Lin, aren't you going to do anything about your wife!"

Old Man Lin put down his pipe: "Uncles, this is a family matter, so we won't trouble you all."

"Ha, good, good! I didn't expect our Xiaolin Village to produce such a cold-hearted person! Since you've severed ties, why are you still living in the house built by Sheng in Renguang? Aren't you ashamed to still be living there when you have no relationship? Move out!"

"That's right, move out. This isn't your house."

"We've lived here for so many years, why can't we stay here!" Old Mrs. Lin didn't like hearing this: "No matter what, Lin Guangsheng is still my son. It's none of your business if I live in my son's house!"

"Grandma Lin, you two are no longer related!"

"None of your business, I'm staying here! And whether they can come back in the future is another matter. Even if we sever ties, this house is still ours if they don't come back."

Good heavens!

How utterly shameless!

"Old Lin, do you think so too?" someone asked, pointing at Old Lin.

"This is a family matter, everyone please leave."

"Fine, fine, fine!" With those three words, the group left angrily.

They've finally witnessed the shamelessness of this family; they really overestimated them before!

"Mom and Dad, Guangyi, my older brother definitely can't get out. We had no choice. It's okay." Wang Qiu could only bite the bullet and say this when everyone left and the family remained silent.

“Yes, Mom and Dad, it really wasn’t our fault. Even if my older brother knew, he definitely wouldn’t blame us,” Lin Guangxing, who had already returned from town, added.

“Over the years, my elder brother has only cared about Yin Qing and Xiao Taohua. He has never cared about us, his relatives. We can’t let him drag us down with him. I think we’ve done nothing wrong.” Lin Guangping, the married-out daughter, naturally had something to say.

Everyone agreed. Although Old Man Lin felt a little awkward, he didn't say anything: "Alright, just behave yourselves these days, don't really offend people." Old Man Lin was clearly referring to the people in the production team.

Lin Guangping muttered, "Who do they think they are, meddling in our family affairs? My second brother is the brigade leader."

“Yes, little sister is right, the second brother in this production team is the most powerful,” Lin Guangxing said.

"That's right, you should also talk about your second brother. He always goes to the eldest brother for everything, even though he's the production team leader." Wang Qiu couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, shut up, everyone, go do what you're supposed to do!" Old Lin said, and no one dared to say anything more, so they could only disperse and do their own things.
