Chapter 51 Overturn

Lin Dahai was much more "courageous" when he was drunk than when he was sober.

Lin Dahai, in his sober state, dared not show his undignified side to everyone when Song Lubai summoned them.

But the Lin Dahai we see now is the Lin Dahai who has been suppressing his distress for more than half a month and wants to let loose by drinking.

Liu Mei's grandson died, and she was sentenced to labor reform in Xinjiang Province. Her biological son, Lin Shuhong, planned to take his daughter to follow Liu Mei to the afterlife.

He couldn't accept this result.

It's just a wife, and one who committed a crime and whose body can't reproduce. He could just marry another one. Why is he so desperate? Now even his son doesn't acknowledge him anymore.

They're all ingrates!

Lin Dahai grew increasingly angry, realizing that none of his children were obedient. He chased Song Lubai down the stairwell, kicking and hitting her while yelling, "I shouldn't have let your mother take you in. I should have sent you to your grandparents' house. Let's see if you can go to school, if you can wear new clothes, if you have to work every day. Now that you have a good life, you still complain. You're so spoiled! What's the use of being good at studying? I'll make sure you don't get into university, and you won't. You're always causing trouble..."

Song Lubai ignored everything else, only catching one sentence: "I'll make sure you don't get into university!"

Her grades and performance at school had always been outstanding and stable. If she hadn't had diarrhea for two days in a row and couldn't hold it in during the exam, wasting a lot of time, she would not have failed to get into university.

On the day of the exam, she went to the exam hall after eating, and soon after, her stomach started to feel uncomfortable.

After the test papers were handed out, she went to the toilet many times until her legs were sore.

After the exam, she went to the clinic for several days of intravenous drips.

It turns out that none of this was an accident.

She stopped dodging and, suppressing her anger, asked, "Did you put diarrhea medicine in my food the day of my exam?"

She couldn't think of anything else besides that.

Lin Dahai finally caught her and slapped her across the face without saying a word. "It was me who did it! What's the use of a girl like you studying so much? You'll get married and have children sooner or later, and then you'll belong to someone else's family. Sending you to study is just a waste of money..."

Song Lubai was furious and, to the disbelief of her neighbors, slapped Lin Dahai several times.

"Go to hell with you, you inhuman thing! Only your inferior genes could produce a bastard like Lin Shuhong who can't distinguish right from wrong. You cowardly bully at home, my education was supported by my mother, why did you give me laxatives?"

Fueled by her anger, her strength was astonishing. Her hand went numb from the force of the slap. After slapping Lin Dahai, she picked up the broom she had just tossed aside and swung it at him.

She knew that her actions were outrageous and disrespectful to anyone, but she couldn't control herself. If Lin Dahai were a lump of dough that wouldn't move, she would definitely tear him to shreds.

Lin Dahai was a man after all, and his strength was not something Song Lubai could easily defeat. Song Lubai also took quite a few hits, and her stomach, shoulders, and neck were still aching from the attacks.

After Lin Dahai shouted that he had "gone too far," the neighbors pulled the two apart.

"What's going on now?"

Song Lubai wiped the snot that had come out of her nose in her excitement and blurted out, "He started hitting people when he was drunk. Jianshe and Heping were still crying inside. Who knows what kind of madness he was going through!"

Lin Dahai, still unwilling to be dragged along, kicked his legs, yelling, "You unfilial ingrate! Haven't you ever seen a brat hit its father? What kind of thing are you! You ill-mannered bastard!"

With her face bruised and swollen, Song Lubai said, "You're not my father. My father was a heroic martyr who sacrificed his life. Do you even deserve to be called his father?"

Lin Dahai felt she was cursing him to die, and he was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Aunt Niu, who was watching the commotion from the side, patted her chest and said, "Oh my, it's a good thing we didn't agree to it back then. If any family had found a daughter-in-law like that, they would have been turned upside down."

Song Lubai sneered, "Aunt Niu, someone as useless as you, who can only act like a slave and be bossed around by everyone at home, really doesn't deserve to have a daughter-in-law like me. You don't need to be happy. Look at the kind of life you live. I don't even need to see what your son is like to know that your family is not suitable for marriage. Whoever marries into your family will be unlucky."

Aunt Niu clutched her chest: "Oh my god, this is outrageous! They have no manners at all."

Song Lubai: "You are very well-mannered. Your son is in his twenties or thirties and you still wash his underwear."

Aunt Niu stretched out her trembling hand, unable to speak.

Aunt Niu's son slapped her hand away, saying disdainfully, "Why are you meddling in other people's business? It's none of your concern!"

Aunt Niu didn't dare utter a single word, but the way she looked at Song Lubai was as if it were poisoned.

The ill-mannered Song Lubai continues to spew criticism, exposing the family scandals of anyone who points fingers at her behavior.

A few minutes later, no one dared to criticize her anymore.

After she had talked to everyone, Lin Dahai, who had regained a little clarity, felt that he wasn't really ashamed. After all, Song Lubai had offended quite a few people, and those who had been offended certainly wouldn't think it was his fault.

His face turned ashen as he said, "I've never seen a girl like you before, you're a disgrace..."

Song Lubai: "Your son and daughter-in-law are shameful, and they were taken away by the police for committing crimes. It's clear that your genes are the worst. I'm saying that Lin Shuhong's despicable nature is inherited from you. You gave me diarrhea and prevented me from getting into university. Lin Dahai, I'll remember you for the rest of my life!"

She shoved him into the house and said to the outside before closing the door, "Lin Dahai, you drank some cat pee and hit people while my mother wasn't here. I won't tolerate you anymore! If you dare to step into the house before I leave, we'll fight. I don't care about the shame. If you dare to come in, I'll go to your workplace and tell everyone about the shameful things your daughter-in-law did and the good things you did. You'll be famous."

The door slammed shut, and Lin Dahai's face turned pale and then red, but his feet seemed rooted to the spot.

The neighbors were all amazed, marveling at how incredibly skilled Song Lubai was.

No family would dare to take in a girl like that. If they married her and something happened, wouldn't they be turned upside down?

Ma Xiaohe, who had arrived earlier, questioned Lin Dahai: "Uncle Lin, did you really give her a laxative? What were you thinking? Lu Bai's grades are among the best in school, and you ruined her! If she had gotten into university, she would have had a bright future!"

Ma Xiaohe's grades were much worse than Song Lubai's, and she knew that if Song Lubai performed normally, she would definitely get into university.

Lin Dahai stubbornly said, "What future does she have? Once she's married, she belongs to someone else's family. What future does she need? Graduating from high school is already good enough. Even if she gets into a good university and spreads her wings, will she ever come back? Raising her is just a waste of money."

The neighbors around the area thought this made a lot of sense.

It's considered a great honor for a boy to get into university, but what's the point of a girl going to university? She's just doing all the work for someone else's family. It's better for her to get married nearby and give back to her own family.

Ma Xiaohe was so angry she didn't know what to say. In the end, she said, "How come I never realized you were this kind of person? You can't judge a book by its cover."

Lin Dahai didn't think he had done anything wrong at all, and even said to everyone, "It's already good enough that I let her finish high school. My own daughter didn't even finish junior high school, and she's always dissatisfied. What's there to be dissatisfied about? She's just spoiled!"
