Chapter 153 clearly defines the divisions.

Lin Guangyi's eyes lit up: "Then I'll leave Mom to you."

"Hmph, I'm his mother, how dare he defy the heavens!"

"Mom, you're the best!" Lin Guangyi chimed in.

"Alright!" Old Lin finally spoke.

"Why are you calling me 'old man'?" Old Mrs. Lin looked at Old Man Lin.

"It's not that simple," Old Lin said, puffing on his cigarette.

“Why is it not that simple? Guang Sheng is fine, and we were doing it for everyone’s good. In that situation, weren’t you afraid that the whole family would be implicated?” Old Mrs. Lin didn’t think there was anything wrong with what they did.

Lin Guangyi looked at Old Lin: "Dad?"

Lin Guangyi understood, but when it came to his own situation, he couldn't bear the responsibility, and he was also easily swayed.

"I'm not going to get involved in this anymore." Old Man Lin glanced at Lin Guangyi, then turned and went back into the house.

If his second son had the same abilities as his eldest son, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

"dad."

"Alright, forget about your dad. He's just too embarrassed to talk to us. It's okay, your mom is flexible and can handle anything. Don't worry, your older brother won't do anything to you. You know all these years, no matter what he does, he won't really cut ties with us."

"I'm really sorry, but I came here today to make things clear with you." Lin Guangyi walked in from outside.

Hearing the voice, both Old Lady Lin and Lin Guangyi were stunned, and Old Man Lin, who was walking into the house, also stopped.

"Big brother, you're back."

"Hmm." Lin Guangsheng glanced at his younger brother, then turned and led his men to the main room. The group looked at the few people in the old house and shook their heads.

Sometimes, people shouldn't go to such extremes. Everyone's patience is limited; it's not like you can tolerate things forever.

After a moment of stunned silence, Old Mrs. Lin said directly, "What do you mean by 'clear or unclear'? I'm your mother, I gave you life. What are you saying? Alright, it's good that you're back. We had no choice but to do what we did before. Look at your brother's whole family, and Guangxing's whole family. It's not just your family. They haven't even said they've been implicated because of you." This was a case of turning the tables.

"What are you saying? Shut up!" Old Lin came back.

"I didn't say anything wrong."

"Well, Old Lin, we're here today to bear witness. What you did before hurt the child too much. The child can do anything, so please don't say anything unpleasant."

"Yes, Old Lin, we all know about the newspaper incident. Let's settle this matter today and not do anything bad in the future."

"Are you threatening us?" Old Mrs. Lin's face darkened.

Everyone sighed when they saw her like that.

Lin Guangsheng glanced at her: "Since we've severed ties, there's nothing to get along with anymore. This house is mine, so please move out as soon as possible."

"Boss, what nonsense are you talking about!" Old Lin suddenly got angry.

"Dad, oh, no, we've severed ties. You're no longer my dad, Old Lin. I'm telling you this properly now. If you don't agree, that's fine too. I just don't know if Guangyi can still hold onto his position as brigade leader."

Old Mrs. Lin burst into tears: "This is outrageous! My son is threatening me!"

Lin Guangsheng's expression remained unchanged, still cold: "Old Mrs. Lin, whether you're informing me or not, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Old Mrs. Lin's wailing was choked back.

They knew how cold-blooded their son was.

In the past, things were always mild and peaceful. Even if there was a threat, it was nothing. After a while, nothing happened, and people stopped caring about it.

Old Lin took a deep breath to suppress his anger: "Are you really sure?"

Lin Guangsheng laughed: "Wasn't this the decision you made for yourselves? I just didn't want to force you."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Old Lin nodded.

“Dad.” Lin Guangyi looked at him.

"Give us three days, there must be time to move." After saying this, Old Lin looked utterly dejected.

“Okay, three days.” Lin Guangsheng had no objection to this.

Old Lin looked at his eldest son with complicated emotions, knowing that there would be no more family ties between them. But there was nothing he could do; they had made a wrong move, and now they had lost everything.

But you can't blame them, who knew Lin Guangsheng could turn things around after all that?

Lin Guangyi wanted to say something, but Old Lin silenced him.

At this point, there's no need to say anything, because it's useless.

“We’re taking Lin Xiaoguang with us too,” Old Lin said.

“Of course.” Although Lin Guangsheng sympathized with Lin Xiaoguang’s background, they already had Xiao Taohua, so they naturally couldn’t adopt Lin Xiaoguang again. They had placed him in the old house before, and they wouldn’t take him back now. It would be better for Old Lin and the others to raise him.

"Don't worry, Xiao Guang won't suffer," Old Lin added.

"Whether the child suffers or not is his fate; it's good that he's alive." He almost didn't make it back then.

Old Lin fell silent for a while.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, several elders said, "Since you've all agreed, you should pretend there's no connection between you now. You can't have any more complaints."

These words effectively clarified the situation regarding the Lin family.

After resolving this issue, Lin Guangsheng originally wanted to treat his elders to a meal, but they all made excuses to decline.

They were just witnessing this, nothing more, and they didn't need to do anything. They even felt awkward about Lin Guangsheng treating them to a meal.

However, the conversation about Lin Guangsheng was indispensable.

"After that, Guang Sheng was completely separated from Guang Yi and the others."

"That's right, Guangyi is the same, he has no sense of responsibility, I never noticed before."

"It's all thanks to Guang Sheng directing things from behind the scenes."

"I'm not so optimistic about Guangyi as the brigade leader."

"I'm not optimistic either."

After everyone left, no one in Lin Guangyi's family said a word.

Wang Qiu sneaked back at this moment, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw her family's appearance: "Mom and Dad, Guangyi..."

Lin Guangyi wiped his face: "Alright, let's pack our things later. I'll go ask if anyone in the village is willing to build us a house."

"How could this be!" Wang Qiu couldn't believe the result.

"You gossipy old woman, it was all because of you that we were dragged down with the whole family. Now that Lin Guangsheng is fine, we're the ones who are in trouble!" Old Mrs. Lin stared intently at Wang Qiu.

"Mom, you both agreed to sever ties with us."

"How could we have imagined this if you hadn't said it? You troublemaker, you're always involved in every incident. If you ask me, Guangyi should send you back to your parents' home!"

"Mom, I gave birth to a son for the Lin family!"

"Do you think I could have tolerated this if it weren't for my grandson? Didn't you hear what Guangyi said? Hurry up and get ready!"

Wang Qiu held her breath, but after looking around and finding no one to talk to, she could only obediently go and pack her belongings.

"Sigh!" Old Lin sighed, tapping his pipe.

He was somewhat confused as to how things had come to this.

Touching the pipe in his hand, Old Lin closed his eyes; it was a gift from that child.

Thinking of the child's smiling face when he gave him the gift, Old Lin took a deep breath. One wrong step leads to another, and he had to bear the consequences of his own decisions.

"Alright, old woman, you go and tidy up too."

Old Mrs. Lin glared at Old Mr. Lin, but helplessly, she couldn't make the decisions in this family, so she could only go back inside to tidy up.
