Chapter 55 A family of vampires come knocking again, begging for money.
"Little sister, your older brother doesn't want it anymore, why do you insist on giving him money?" That's fifty coins. Even if they rented a carriage to come back, it would only cost twenty coins.
"Brother, you don't understand. This is about social etiquette. He can refuse, but you can't be so rude!" He patted Lin Wenqian's shoulder as if he were an adult and turned his head with a serious expression.
If she heard correctly, those shameless bastards from the Lin family had come to her house again.
The closer they got, the clearer the voice of that old hag, Mrs. Lin, came from inside the house.
Lin Luoxi moved faster and faster. As soon as she reached the gate of her own yard, she saw that the gate had been kicked and was crooked. The lights of the neighboring houses were still on, probably because they wanted to hear what was going on at her house.
"Luo Xi, Wen Qian, it's getting late, I'll head back now." Xie Han Chuan had naturally heard that annoying voice at Lin Luo Xi's house, so he handed the basket to Lin Wen Qian and said to Lin Luo Xi.
That family of vampires probably came to beg for money because they saw Lin Luoxi kill a tiger today and even sell it in the county. They're probably here as elders.
"Okay, Brother Hanchuan, I'm going to become your apprentice tomorrow. Remember to come and help me!" Lin Luoxi was about to turn around and walk inside, but then she turned back to tell Xie Hanchuan what was going on.
"Okay!" Xie Hanchuan was just thinking about what excuse he should use to come and help tomorrow, but when he heard Lin Luoxi's words, he felt as sweet as if he had eaten a candy.
Without a second thought, he nodded immediately and quickly disappeared into the night, as if afraid that Lin Luoxi might change her mind at the last minute.
"Little sister, I think I can hear Grandma's voice." The voice inside grew louder and louder, and Lin Wenqian heard it too.
"Shut up, that's not our grandma, that's the Lin family's old lady." Lin Luoxi corrected Lin Wenqian as she walked inside after hearing his words.
"How dare you! You good-for-nothing! You're not even as sensible as Wenqian! Even if we've severed ties with your father, we're still your grandparents. Blood is thicker than water. Don't even think about abandoning us..."
Old Man Lin, who was standing in the courtyard smoking his pipe, heard Lin Luoxi's words, glared at her with a sinister look, and shamelessly lectured her.
Lin Daguang and his son stared intently at the basket on Lin Luoxi's back as she entered the yard carrying it.
The intention was obvious: they were telling others that they came today because Lin Luoxi went to the county town and sold the tiger for a certain amount of money.
Lin Luoxi ignored Old Man Lin and the two good-for-nothings and walked towards the main room. Standing at the entrance of the main room, she glanced around inside.
Seeing Lin Wangshi wiping away tears, while Lin Dayou just sat silently on the stool without saying a word.
"Dad, you heard what Uncle Lin said just now. Do you agree with him?" He looked directly at Lin Dayou.
As long as Lin Dayou dares to nod, she will immediately take Lin Wang and her younger siblings away.
“You worthless brat, who gives you the right to speak here? Your grandfather is right. Even if we're no longer related, we're still your grandparents. If you dare to disown us, that's the greatest act of filial impiety. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Old Mrs. Lin was originally playing the villain in the main room, scolding Lin Dayou with great enthusiasm. When she learned that Lin Luoxi had returned, she stopped, took a breather, and sat in the main seat of the Lin family, waiting for Lin Luoxi to come in.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Luoxi came in and didn't even glance at him, but instead looked at Lin Dayou and asked him a question.
"You old hag, you should be grateful that I haven't thrown you out yet. You're still whining here. Believe me or not, I'll throw you out."
Lin Luoxi was waiting for Lin Dayou's answer, but all she could hear was the nagging of the old lady Lin. She frowned impatiently and glared at the old lady Lin, who seemed to want to be more like her master than her master herself.
Originally, the old lady Lin, who had a lot of swear words she wanted to use to curse Lin Luoxi and show her status as an elder, stopped the swear words that were about to come out of her mouth with just one look from Lin Luoxi.
Standing next to Old Madam Lin, Lin Xiaowu was also taken aback by the terrifying look in Lin Luoxi's eyes.
However, she noticed that the basket Lin Luoxi was carrying was stuffed full of things, and she even saw the shadow of cloth, which showed that the tiger had sold for a lot of money.
If they took it all, they could once again enjoy the good life of eating meat and wearing new clothes.
Lin Luoxi hadn't missed the looks in the two women's eyes, but now she was focused on Lin Dayou's attitude.
Lin Dayou felt inexplicably flustered when Lin Luoxi looked at him like that; his intuition told him otherwise.
If he dared to contradict Lin Luoxi, he would definitely be taken in as a member of the Lin family by this girl and completely abandoned. He quickly shook his head to make his position clear.
“Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? We’ve already severed ties with the Lin family, so naturally we’re no longer family.”
"What kind of grandparents are they? Your grandparents are Lin Jixian, the second eldest uncle of the Lin family..." Lin Dayou looked into Lin Luoxi's eyes and said seriously.
He found that after he said those words, his longing for family affection towards Old Man Lin and Old Woman Lin gradually subsided, and he was able to treat his two parents in front of him with peace of mind.
"Lin Dayou, you unfilial son! You're the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. Now that you've grown up, you don't want to acknowledge us anymore, do you? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
When Grandma Lin heard Lin Dayou admit it himself, she suddenly became anxious, threw herself on the ground, and started making a scene, crying, shouting, and threatening to hang herself.
“Dayou, we may have been a little biased towards your older brother, but that’s no excuse for you to abandon us and not care about us…” Old Man Lin, who had been pretending to be dead in the courtyard, stopped pretending to be dead after hearing Lin Dayou’s words.
They immediately rushed into the main room and began to morally blackmail Lin Dayou.
"Yes, you are biased towards Lin Daguang, but you are pushing our family to the brink of death. If we're talking about being struck by lightning, I think the first thing God would do is strike you heartless bastards."
Since Lin Dayou has stated that these people have no relation to his family, she doesn't need to show them any mercy.
Hearing what Grandma Lin and Grandpa Lin said, they began to fight back.
“My brother is still lying in bed. You not only have no remorse, but you come to our door every day, trying to drive our family to the brink of death.”
"Fine, since your Lin family has no morals, then I don't need to be polite to you anymore."
Lin Luoxi first walked to the old lady Lin's side and lifted her up in one go.
"Murder! Murder!" Old Mrs. Lin was originally throwing a tantrum on the ground, but Lin Luoxi's words made her stop her.
