Chapter 273 I just beat you often, so what?
Scribbled crookedly in paint on the wall were the words "Lin Shengjun owes debts and refuses to pay them back, his whole family is a deadbeat" and a large note saying "Pay your debts."
"Well... the house is a bit messy, so I won't invite you in to sit down." Mother Lin's voice was trembling, and her face was full of embarrassment and helplessness.
"Okay, then we'll go back first."
Su Qian responded gently.
After a while, she and Lu Yao went downstairs and left.
Lin's mother took out the key and opened the door.
The room was in a mess and Lin Shengjun was nowhere to be seen.
She sighed softly, settled her two children, and started to pack up.
Not long.
Father Lin walked in with an angry look on his face.
The door was slammed shut with a loud bang. The loud noise frightened Lin Xinyi and Lin Yuchen so much that they trembled.
"Jiahui's friends are such a mess, they have no manners at all!"
Father Lin was cursing.
He sat down on the broken sofa, his arms folded across his chest, his face full of anger and unwillingness.
Lin's mother was originally cleaning up the debris on the ground.
Hearing Lin's father's scolding, her body stiffened slightly, but she did not stop what she was doing. She just whispered, "This girl is very kind."
As soon as Lin's mother said this, Lin's father immediately became furious.
He suddenly stood up from the sofa, his eyes wide as copper bells, staring at Mother Lin and shouting:
"Good intentions? Humph, she's meddling in other people's business! When is it her turn to meddle in our family affairs? You old woman, have you been drugged by her to the point of speaking for an outsider?"
Mother Lin was so frightened by the sudden roar that she almost dropped the things in her hands.
Lin Xinyi and Lin Yuchen hid behind Lin's mother, holding tightly onto the corners of her clothes, their little faces full of fear.
Lin Xinyi whispered, "Grandma, I'm scared."
Mother Lin patted Lin Xinyi's hand gently and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, baby, grandma is here."
"Old man, can you please stop doing this? I've tolerated everything you've done to me over the years, but you can't do this in front of the children. They're still young and will be scared by you."
Mother Lin looked at Father Lin and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
Upon hearing this, Father Lin pointed at Mother Lin's nose and cursed, "You old woman, you dare to lecture me? If it weren't for the good son you gave birth to, would our family have become like this? And now you have the right to talk back to me?"
As he said that, he picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it at Lin's mother.
Mother Lin turned pale with fright.
He instinctively closed his eyes and subconsciously dodged backwards.
There was a loud "bang".
The ashtray hit the wall behind Lin's mother.
Fragments flew everywhere, and one of the sharp fragments scratched Lin's mother's cheek, and a trail of bright red blood oozed out instantly.
"Dad, we're already this old, can you please stop arguing? Life is hard enough already."
Mother Lin bit her lip, holding back her tears, and spoke in a low voice.
"Why, do you still want a divorce?"
Father Lin sneered, his eyes full of disdain, "Do you think you can live well after getting divorced?"
Mother Lin’s body stiffened.
She didn't expect Lin's father to bring up the subject of divorce, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. "I... I just don't want to live like this anymore. You've treated me so badly over the years..."
"Yes, I do beat you often, so what?"
Father Lin suddenly interrupted Mother Lin and said viciously, "I'm telling you, don't even think about getting rid of me in this life!"
Lin's mother's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Lin's father in horror.
The two children were so frightened when they saw the ferocious look on Father Lin's face that they trembled with fear.
"Grandpa, don't bully grandma!"
Lin Xinyi mustered up the courage and spoke loudly, her eyes full of anger and fear.
"Little girl, do you have the right to speak?" Father Lin glared at Lin Xinyi and roared, "Go back to your rooms!"
Lin Yuchen was so scared that he started crying, "Grandma, I'm scared."
Mother Lin hugged the two children distressedly, her eyes full of determination, "Dad, don't go too far! Look how scared you've made the children!"
"Humph, it's all your fault!"
Father Lin stood up and walked towards Mother Lin. "Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know who has the final say in this family!"
"You...don't come over here!"
Mother Lin instinctively took a few steps back to protect her two children.
"I gave you face today, didn't I?"
Father Lin walked towards her step by step. "You humiliated me in front of outsiders and even dared to talk back to me. You are really rebellious!"
As he spoke, he waved his broad palm towards Lin's mother.
Mother Lin had no time to dodge, and the heavy slap landed firmly on her face.
Lin's mother's body was instantly pushed to one side by this force.
He almost fell to the ground.
"ah!"
Lin Xinyi and Lin Yuchen screamed at the same time in fright.
Lin Xinyi's face was filled with horror.
Tears instantly welled up in my eyes.
However, Lin's father had no intention of stopping. He grabbed a stool beside him and threw it at Lin's mother.
Lin's mother instinctively used her arms to block.
With a "crack", the stool hit her arm, and it seemed as if the bones were about to be broken.
Mother Lin let out a scream of pain.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead in an instant.
"I'll let you know the price of disobeying me!" Father Lin roared and raised the stool to smash it down again.
Lin Xinyi didn't know where she got the courage from, she rushed forward and hugged Lin's father's legs tightly, crying, "Grandpa, please, don't hit grandma, I will listen to you from now on, please don't hit me..."
The childish voice was filled with endless fear and pleading.
"you……"
Mother Lin's voice trembled with pain, but she still stared at Father Lin. A trace of courage surged in her heart, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I want to divorce you!"
"Huh? Divorce?"
Father Lin stopped, as if he had heard a joke.
He stopped hitting her and instead bent down and approached Lin's mother, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule:
"Do you think you can leave me? Look at your current state, no job, no savings. If you leave me, you won't even have enough to eat, let alone support these two little brats!"
Father Lin kicked Lin Xinyi away.
Lin Xinyi was kicked and fell to the ground, crying loudly in pain.
Seeing this, Lin Yuchen was so scared that he trembled.
Hiding in the corner, he kept shouting: "Grandma, Grandma..."
"Yes, I want a divorce, I'm going to call the police! I'm going to send you to jail!"
Mother Lin endured the pain and replied with a firm look in her eyes: "I've had enough of your beatings and scolding over the years. I don't want to live with you anymore!"
"Call the police?"
Father Lin wasn't panicked at all. "Go report it. What can the police do? Domestic violence doesn't constitute a crime."
He moved a small stool, took out a cigarette, and sat down slowly.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled two streams of smoke from his nose, his eyes full of disdain.
"Jiahui has been beaten by Shengjun over the years, don't you know?"
A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. "She called the police many times, but what did it matter? The police only came to mediate. She was still beaten to death by her son!"
