Chapter 281 Lin Mei is completely freed
Lin Xiaoxia laughed when she heard this, and laughed out loud: "You are quite interesting. I originally wanted to not make a fuss about the money, but you went back on your word. Don't blame me for this. I don't need to talk to you about any principles. I have changed my mind now. I will give you a total of 800 yuan. Don't even think about getting a penny more."
When Qin Zhigang heard Lin Xiaoxia say that she would give him a total of 800, his expression turned grim. "Then I won't move Zhaodi's household registration. Then she can never have the last name Lin. She will always be a girl from our Qin family."
Lu Jingshen looked at Qin Zhigang and said sarcastically, "You underestimate our family's strength. Even without you, I can still move Lin Mei's household registration."
Qin Zhigang's heart began to beat fast. He regretted his greed a little. He said, "Let's not talk about those useless things. Let's stick to the 5,000 yuan we agreed on at the beginning. Let's go to the police station tomorrow morning to register our household registration."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled at Qin Zhigang and said, "Who do you think you are? The more I see you, the more annoyed I am. I don't even have 800 yuan left. Five hundred yuan is to buy peace of mind for my sister. I didn't call the police because of my sister's kindness. If you say one more hundred yuan less, as my husband said, we can still register our household registration without you. It's up to you whether you want the five hundred yuan or not."
Qin Zhigang was anxious: "Five hundred, are you begging for food? I won't let you go for less than five thousand."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at his exasperated expression and said, "I told you, if you say one sentence, you'll lose one hundred. You just said two sentences, so there are still three hundred left."
Qin Zhigang's eyes turned red. "Don't go too far. No matter what, we have raised Zhaodi for so many years. Even if we have no credit for her, we have worked hard for her."
Lin Xiaoxia sighed and said, "We originally thought you had feelings for me after raising her for so many years. I initially agreed to give you money because of this, thinking you would at least be kind to my sister. But now I see clearly that you don't have any true feelings for my sister. So why should I talk to you about feelings?"
Qin Zhigang clenched his fists in anger. "You were the ones who snatched Zhaodi away, and now you're blaming us for being cruel? How could she recognize us if you took the child away? We raised her for nothing, so is there anything wrong with asking for some money to raise another one?"
Lin Xiaoxia said, "You have to understand that you took my sister away using illicit means. My sister didn't want to send the man who raised her for over a decade to jail. She's kindhearted, but you changed her life. So, you owe us. Okay, having said all that, forget about the money. We'll handle the household registration ourselves. We don't need you anymore. From now on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other."
Before, Lin Xiaoxia thought that using Qin Zhigang to directly transfer the household registration would save a lot of trouble, but now she would rather take the trouble and spend money to use connections than have anything to do with the Qin family. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Moreover, the Bincheng Police Station has all the information about Lin Mei when she was lost. Now that the child has been found, registering her household is just a matter of following the procedure. It won't waste too much time to let Zhou Yunchao look for her.
Qin Zhigang regretted it so much. This was truly a complete failure. "No, we can't do things this way. I'm just talking about the price. You can't really not give me a cent, right?"
Lin Xiaoxia said, "I've said everything I need to say. If you continue to pester me, I don't mind taking legal action."
Li Xiulan was crying so hard that she almost died. She couldn't bear to leave Lin Mei, but she also knew that without money, she would not be able to have another boy.
She walked up to Lin Mei and said, "Zhao Di, I'm sorry, but I have no choice. You have to go back to your biological parents. Your father and I have to raise another child. We are not young anymore. It's not easy to make money and raise a child. We have no choice but to ask for money." As she said that, she reached out to hold Lin Mei's hand.
Lin Mei dodged Li Xiulan's hand and said, "You are not my parents anymore. I never thought that one day I would leave you like this. I used to think I would have another pair of parents and more relatives, but I didn't expect that I would be a tool that can be exchanged for money. I have no money, so I will listen to my family's decision."
Li Xiulan shook her head. "That's not the case, Zhaodi. No, Mom really has no choice. Mom can't bear to leave you."
"My name is Lin Mei, not Zhaodi. I hope you can get what you wish for and have a son in the future." Lin Mei was really heartbroken. She never thought that her adoptive parents would use her to negotiate for money. There was no real love between them at all.
Lin Jianye sighed and said to Qin Zhigang, "From now on, you and Lin Mei will have nothing to do with each other." Then he hugged Lin Mei and walked out: "Let's go home."
Li Xiulan reached out and grabbed Lin Mei's arm: "I'll put your clothes on for you."
Lin Xiaoxia took Li Xiulan's hand away: "We can just buy new ones. Lin Mei will have nothing to do with you in the future."
After saying that, she took Lin Mei's hand and followed her father out the door.
Lu Jingshen followed his wife and the family went out.
Lu Jingshen drove back because he was afraid that Lin Jianye was too excited and it would be unsafe for him to drive.
Lin Xiaoxia, her father and sister all sat in the back row, with Lin Mei in the middle to make her feel safer.
After leaving the village, Lin Mei leaned on Lin Jianye's shoulder and cried bitterly.
Lin Jianye also kept wiping away tears. He thought that the Qin family would be reluctant to part with this child and would ask Lin Mei to go back more often. However, he did not expect that they would actually bring Lin Mei back.
This also proves that the Qin family is not really kind to Lin Mei from the bottom of their hearts, so the child would not have had much happiness over the years, and his self-blame and guilt became heavier and heavier.
Lin Xiaoxia was also very surprised. Although this result was good, it was indeed too hurtful. It really hurt Lin Mei's heart a lot.
Along the way, Lin Xiaoxia held her sister's hand and didn't say much, because Lin Mei also needed to calm down.
Qin Zhigang threw everything he could in the room, furious. "Why? Just because they have power and influence, they can bully others like this?"
Li Xiulan felt even more distressed now. She was reluctant to give up her child, but she had no choice. After all, she had raised the child in vain. She regretted it so much: "Why did I bring this child back in the first place?"
The veins on Qin Zhigang's forehead bulged. "If you ask me, who should I ask? I also want to know why you brought this unlucky person back. If we had found someone to adopt a child and raised it from childhood, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Now look, there's nothing, not a penny."
Li Xiulan was also angry: "I told you five thousand and you think it's not enough? If you weren't so greedy, at least we could get the five thousand and raise another child."
Qin Zhigang snorted and said, "Do you really think they will give us five thousand? The eldest daughter of the old Lin family is as cunning as a monkey. Even if none of this happened, do you think she can give us five thousand?"
