Ten thousand yuan! Even if you sold your whole family, you wouldn't have ten thousand yuan!
"Mother, you can't abandon me! I'm your own daughter, you have to help me! If I don't pay back the money, they'll kill me!" Lin Jingyue grabbed Lin Pozi's arm, unwilling to let go.
Sister-in-law Lin's eyes widened in anger. "I think you're dreaming! The family won't give you a single penny. Forget about it!"
A hundred yuan is manageable; they can scrape together some. A thousand yuan, however, is an astronomical sum for them, let alone ten thousand. That's a number they wouldn't even dare to dream of. And she, so fresh and beautiful, has just fallen into debt like that?
“I only borrowed a hundred, but they compounded the interest, and somehow I owed ten thousand. Mother, sister-in-law, you have to help me. I've already given you my job, you can't just leave me.”
"What job? That was originally ours! You're almost dead, hand over the job and we can help you take care of the kids. Sister-in-law, don't be ungrateful, do you think anyone can pay off the debts you owe?" Sister-in-law Lin mocked, revealing her own scheme.
Since everyone's going to die anyway, at least hand over your work before you die; that's the last good thing you can do for your family.
"Mother, is that what you think too?" Lin Jingyue looked helplessly at her mother. Her red eyes evoked pity, but they couldn't elicit a look of heartache from her mother.
Granny Lin frowned, brushed away the hand that was gripping her, and said coldly, "Your sister-in-law is right. You have to think about the children. You're already ruined, but you can't let everyone in the family be buried with you."
That's usury; those people have connections, otherwise they wouldn't dare to do things like murder and arson.
From now on, let's just pretend we don't have this daughter.
But loan sharking is not such a simple matter.
Lin Jingyue gave a cold laugh, seemingly in despair, her lucidity tinged with a hint of madness, "Mother, sister-in-law, I think you've got something wrong. That's loan sharking. They already know my identity. They know I'm divorced, so I have nothing to do with the Chen family, but you're different."
“You are my family, we are related by blood. Do you think they will come looking for us?”
The saying goes, "The son pays for the father's debts," but so can the father pay for the son's debts. If a daughter incurs debts, her parents should definitely help pay them off, right?
She smoothed her hair, as if she had come to a realization, and sat down to the side. "Even if I sell my job to you, they know our relationship, how could they let it go so easily? I have no hope in this life, Mother. I have no other choice but to resort to this tactic. Please don't blame me."
Granny Lin was so angry that her hands trembled. She thought it was a good thing that her daughter had come home to hand over her work, but she never expected that she would bring a bomb home.
Judging from her nonchalant attitude, it seems she had planned this all along, intending to drag her whole family down with her.
What exactly do you want?
“Mother, look at what you’re saying. It’s not that I want to do anything, it’s just that I have no other choice. My family is so focused on getting my job that they don’t care about my life anymore. I might as well drag them all down to hell with me, so that none of us have to work.”
They've completely given up and are just throwing caution to the wind.
Granny Lin was so angry she nearly fainted. Over the years, she had scrimped and saved to raise her children and help them get married. All of this had cost her less than a thousand yuan, yet her daughter was asking for ten thousand.
Goodness, are they treating her like a god of wealth?
"Get out! Get out! You're no longer my daughter. What does your debt have to do with us?" She just wanted to get rid of her; just looking at her was upsetting.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? You're my mother, you have to pay me back. Even if you tell them I'm not your daughter, they won't believe you. Do you think those people are stupid? My divorce from Chen Lao Er was processed through the Civil Affairs Bureau, so we're no longer husband and wife. But it's different for you. Unless you get a blood transfusion, we'll be family for life!"
Lin Jingyue just sat there, like a rogue.
Granny Lin was so angry she could hardly breathe. Having such a troublesome daughter, she must have committed a terrible sin in her past life.
Suddenly, Sister-in-law Lin, who was standing nearby, had a flash of inspiration and seemed to have thought of something. "Mother, just give her a letter of severance. If that doesn't work, publish a notice in the newspaper saying that we're cutting off all ties. Isn't that what people in the city do? You see, after they cut off their ties, no one bothers to arrest them."
Besides the educated youth sent to the countryside, there was another group of people who were arrested and sent for reform. As a result, newspapers in the city became highly sought after, and a lot of people were waiting to publish notices to sever ties with their families.
But the effect is very good; you don't need to make any changes and you can still keep your property.
Sister-in-law Lin thought it was feasible more and more, so she continued, "Mother, as long as we prove that my sister-in-law is not our child, that will be enough. If she is not our child, those loan sharks will not be able to make things difficult for us."
"No! Mother, are you really going to be so heartless? I'm your own daughter!" Lin Jingyue suddenly stood up, glaring at her with eyes full of fury.
"Mother, she's just a married-out woman. You still have sons and grandsons!" Sister-in-law Lin said anxiously.
We can't abandon the whole family just because of one daughter, can we?
"Sister-in-law, you are so vicious!"
"How could you be so vicious, not even sparing your own nephew!"
If loan sharks come, this family will be in danger. Of course, Sister-in-law Lin could choose divorce to protect herself, but since there's a solution, why would she become a divorced woman? It's her sister-in-law's fault, not her husband's, and besides, her husband treats her quite well.
After pondering for a long time, Granny Lin finally let out a helpless sigh, "Ah~ daughter, don't blame your mother, it's really your fault, alas!"
Lin Jingyue knew her choice in an instant. As if all her strength had been drained, she slumped onto the stool. "Mother, don't you want me anymore?"
She was, after all, her own flesh and blood, and over the years they had developed some affection for each other, but only a little, not much. The thought of losing this daughter after this still stirred a pang of emotion in Granny Lin. However, for the sake of her family, she had to do this.
“Eldest daughter-in-law, call them all back. They need to know what really happened. Qiu-mei, don’t blame me for being heartless, but what you did was really unfair. From now on, let’s break off this marriage.”
Sister-in-law Lin happily went to call for help.
Lin Jingyue sat there with her head down, silent, lost in thought.
Granny Lin shook her head helplessly, turned around and went into the house.
