Upon hearing these words, Lin's mind went blank, buzzing loudly.
I felt like nothing around me mattered anymore, only my mother's words remained.
She always listened to her mother and weighed the pros and cons of everything, even when it came to her own daughter, she would first think about whether it would harm her family.
Little did she expect that one day she would become the object of her mother's weighing of pros and cons, and that her mother would feel that she would be a burden to them.
"But I am your daughter, your own daughter! How can you turn me away?"
Lin couldn't understand why her mother could be so heartless and completely disregard them.
“I can’t let my whole family be dragged down because of you, your elder brother and sister-in-law, your nephew, and me. Do you want us to be kicked out of the house like you and drift aimlessly from now on?”
Or do you want us to get beaten up by the magistrate like you did? That's incredibly cruel of you.
So that's how it is. So that's what my mother was thinking?
For some reason, these words seemed familiar, as if I had heard them before. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't this what she said to Mo Ran?
"But I bought this house. Since you don't want us to drag you down, please leave and let us stay, wouldn't that be better?"
Since this mother doesn't care about her at all.
Then she wouldn't need to feel any psychological burden.
"No, since you've let us stay in this house, there's no reason for us to leave. If anyone should leave, it should be you."
How could the old lady possibly leave such a big house and go back to live in the village?
Once you move in, there's no reason for you to leave; it's the same no matter what.
Lin felt extremely distressed, as if she were being pricked by needles. "Mother, how could you be so heartless! This is my house!"
Seeing this scene, Mo Chen knew that further words were useless, so he asked Lin to take them to another place.
They were caught off guard and couldn't find a place to stay, so they left the city and found a small courtyard in a nearby village to settle down temporarily, waiting for the father and son to recover before making any further plans.
Lin used to be a capable housewife, but she hasn't done any work in recent years, and the sight of those things gives her a headache. To make matters worse, her husband and son are injured and unable to help, which makes her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Why did you stop me just now? You should have let me rush in and give my older brother and sister-in-law a good scolding."
That's clearly our house, how can we let them stand there? Isn't that the behavior of a bully?
Even now, Lin still can't understand why they didn't rush in.
"Your mother has already said that, do you think it will make a difference if you rush in?"
Lin felt a little guilty, but still forced herself to speak, "My mother was fooled by them. My mother would never abandon me. It's all my elder brother and sister-in-law's fault."
Lin refused to admit that her mother didn't love her at all; she couldn't accept it, not even a little bit.
She wanted everyone to know that her mother actually loved her very much.
"If I truly loved you, I wouldn't have refused to open the door back then."
Furthermore, the county magistrate hates our family, so even if we move in, the house will ultimately be confiscated.
That's why he stopped his wife at that time.
They stormed in and had a huge argument with them, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses, but in the end, the county magistrate still benefited.
It's better to wait and see when they recover.
Before Lin could say anything more, Mo Chen spoke up again, "Besides, my son and I are both unable to move right now. You're all alone. Do you think you, a woman, can defeat them?"
"They'll still bully us, and in the end they'll take everything away from us. Then we'll truly have nothing left."
It was only then that Mo Chen realized that his mother was right; taking a step back would not lead to a brighter future, but only to a precipice.
If you back down, others will only think you're easy to bully.
When you've lost everything and are at rock bottom, no one will lend a helping hand; they'll only add fuel to the fire and kick you when you're down, even if that person is your mother-in-law.
Hearing her husband's words, Lin remained silent.
"But I'm not willing to accept this."
I can support my mother and give her money to spend, but what about giving it to my older brother and sister-in-law?
What do they have to do with me? Did they ever give me a single tael of silver?
She was just unwilling to accept it, really unwilling to accept it.
"Alright, there's no use saying all this now. Hurry up and pack everything up. We'll make do for tonight."
This period might be tough on you, but once we're all feeling better, we'll continue our journey back to our hometown.
Mrs. Lin was stunned. She looked at the piles of things in the hall and felt completely overwhelmed.
"No way? You want me to pack all this stuff by myself? Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to manage all this by myself?"
I can't handle it, I really can't handle it.
Mo Chen sighed, even more helplessly, "Do you think my son and I can get up?"
Lin: "..."
Lin started tidying up, and it was barely possible to stay overnight. From that point on, Lin felt very tired every day, so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back.
About seven or eight days later, Mo Chen was a little better. Their plaster was very effective. However, there was nothing that could be done about Xiao Bao's injury. It required acupuncture, but Mo Chen's skills were not up to par, and he was afraid of hurting his precious son.
