Chapter 10: Defeat Magic with Magic

"Mother, am I really your biological son? Why are you driving me to my death?" Lin Dayou, who had been knocked to the ground by Old Mrs. Lin, shouted desperately at her.

"I'll beat you to death, you unfilial brat! I raised you from infancy, feeding you every drop of my poop and piss, and now you think you're all grown up and want to sever ties with us? You still have the nerve to say you're not my biological child? I'll beat you to death..."

When Grandma Lin heard Lin Dayou ask whether he was her biological son, a hint of unease flashed across her eyes again, but it quickly disappeared.

She had to make Lin Dayou retract his demand to sever ties with the family today, otherwise, how could she continue to exploit this family?

After saying that, he used all his strength to beat Lin Dayou to death.

She used this trick before, and Lin Dayou obediently accepted his fate and listened to her.

However, Lin Dayou's filial piety towards the Lin family had long since vanished when Old Man Lin beat his youngest son into a living dead, yet the Lin family never uttered a word about it.

Faced with Mrs. Lin's aggressive behavior, Lin Dayou felt nothing but disheartened and took no further action.

Lin Dayou also understood that his older brother's commotion with his parents was simply an attempt to make him reconsider his decision to sever ties with his family.

How could that be? He may lack ability, but he's not without temper. The Lin family wanted him to spend money and fulfill his filial duties, yet they also tried to steal his child's marriage and beat his child into a living dead.

If he doesn't take a tough stance, he and his children will definitely be bullied to death by everyone in the Lin family in the future.

"Stop it, all of you stop it..." Lin Zhousheng almost lost his temper when he saw Lin Dayou lying on the ground being beaten by his own mother.

But since it was his own mother hitting her son, Lin Dayou didn't fight back. As a grown man, he couldn't very well step forward to help, so he could only stand there anxiously stamping his feet.

"You bad person, how dare you bully my father!" Lin Luoxi, who was hiding behind Lin Wenqian, saw the old lady Lin pinning down and beating her father. Enraged, she rushed over and knocked the old lady Lin over.

When Lin Luoxi crashed into him, she used a clever trick and made a small movement to get through.

"Ouch!" Old Mrs. Lin, who had been knocked to the ground, was about to resort to her last resort of throwing a tantrum when she was stunned by Lin Luoxi's next move.

"Heavens above! Open your eyes! My grandparents are driving our family to the brink of ruin! Heavens above, please open your eyes! Why don't you take in this heartless wretch..." The wailing was incredibly loud.

"Grandpa and Grandma, you beat my brother to a pulp, and now you want to drive my father to his death so you can control me, my mother, and my sister, and sell them off, isn't that it...?"

"Everyone come quick! My grandparents are trying to drive my dad to his death. They want to sell us so they can use the money to get their precious grandson a wife..."

Everyone present was stunned by Lin Luoxi's loud shout, and they all stared at her in shock.

"I'll beat you to death, you little brat! I'll teach you to talk nonsense!" The old lady Lin, who had been stunned, became furious after hearing Lin Luoxi's last words. Feeling guilty that Lin Luoxi had revealed the truth, she jumped up and tried to rush over to tear Lin Luoxi's mouth apart.

Lin Dayou, who was lying dead on the ground, also heard his daughter's words. His eyes lit up again, and he sat up and pulled Lin Luoxi into his arms.

"I'd like to see who dares to touch my daughter." He glared fiercely at Old Mrs. Lin, his previous lifeless demeanor completely gone.

"Father, you can't be so suicidal! I heard it with my own ears: Grandpa and Grandma were talking to my uncle and the others about selling me, Mom, and my sister to Granny Zhang, the slave trader in the next village..."

Lin Luoxi saw that her father was so angry at her words that he started to spill everything he had heard before she went crazy.

"Father, Mother, I doubt whether you have a heart." After hearing Lin Luoxi's words, Lin Dayou was so angry that his teeth were grinding, and he looked at the old lady and her group with a murderous gaze.

Not only was Lin Dayou furious upon hearing the truth, but the village chief and elders were also extremely indignant.

"Lin Jiyong, your family is really something. Even in our poorest Wutong Village, there has never been such a thing as selling children. What, is your family unable to make a living and has to sell other people's children to survive?"

"Don't forget, your eldest grandson is still studying at the private school. If what your family did gets back to the school, do you think your eldest grandson will still be able to continue his studies?"

Lin Zhousheng really looked down on the old man Lin's family's behavior, and now he was calling them by their full names.

"Dayou! Don't listen to what your silly girl says. She's stupid. Can you believe what a stupid person says?" Old Man Lin didn't think anything of Lin Zhousheng calling him by his full name. It was Lin Zhousheng's last words that finally scared Old Man Lin.

Their precious grandson, whom they've raised with so much care, is destined to become a high-ranking official. They can't let this bastard's words ruin his future.

"Dad, compared to what you've done, I believe my daughter's words more."

"If you really want to force me to my death so you can control my wife and children, I'll go to the government office right now and sue you for conspiring to force me to my death and taking the opportunity to abduct my wife and children. Tell me, what will the magistrate do then!"

Lin Dayou has figured it out: if he doesn't want their family to have a good life, then nobody should have a good life either.

Lin Zhousheng was satisfied with Lin Dayou's reaction; at least he didn't have to watch and get angry all by himself.

"I'll tell you to sue, you heartless bastard..." Hearing Lin Dayou's words, Old Mrs. Lin was so angry that she struck again, wanting to continue hitting Lin Dayou.

"Come on, kill me, kill me! Your precious grandson's future will be ruined because of you, I'm not at a loss." Lin Dayou didn't dodge, but instead brought his face closer.

Lin Dayou's words made Old Mrs. Lin dare to take action, and she secretly watched her old man.

"Don't try to fool me. Don't think I don't know anything. My son is destined to be a high-ranking official. Who would dare to offend us..." After saying that, Lin Daguang looked at everyone present with a threatening gaze.

He even snatched the broom from Lin Wenqian's hand, intending to cripple Lin Dayou's last son as well.

"Lin Daguang, let's not even talk about your son becoming a high-ranking official in the future. Right now, your son has no official title or honor. In Wutong Village, you all have to listen to me." Lin Zhousheng saw the sinister malice flashing in Lin Daguang's eyes and stepped forward without fear.

"We agree to sever ties, eldest son, don't do anything reckless." Since it concerns the future of their son Lin Wenwu, Old Man Lin dared not take it lightly.

Moreover, he could see that Lin Dayou had already harbored resentment towards them, and that continuing the commotion would not do them any good.

“Dayou, you can sever ties with us if you want. Your mother and I raised you for over twenty years and even helped you get married. You should repay us for the kindness of giving you life!”

"If it's not fifty taels of silver, you should at least give me twenty or thirty taels!" Old Man Lin had the audacity to say such a thing.

“That’s right, if you want to sever ties, then give me money.” Lin Tianshi, Lin Daguang’s wife, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, finally spoke up when she heard about the money.
