Chapter 98 is probably due to possession.
Lin Luoxi didn't dare to delay, and without needing Lin Wentao and Lin Luoning's help, she walked forward with brisk steps.
"Dayou, everyone in the village knows whether you were born from our wombs or not. You can't disown your parents just because of Lin Zhousheng and that old geezer's encouragement!"
"That's right, and that wretched girl of yours doesn't respect me and my parents at all, hurting us like this. That's your fault, Lin Dayou." Hearing what the old man Lin said, Lin Daguang also started to take advantage of the situation and expressed his dissatisfaction with Lin Luoxi.
"Your eldest daughter is probably possessed by an evil spirit. Your parents have already discussed it and are going to find an exorcist for you. They'll definitely be able to drive the evil spirit off her," said Grandma Lin at the opportune moment.
Upon hearing that his eldest granddaughter, Lin Luodan, said that the wretched girl Lin Luoxi had several hundred taels of silver notes, the family was filled with greed and their desire for such a large sum of money reached its peak. They were determined to make that wretched girl Luoxi spit it out.
The old man and his wife, along with Lin Daguang and his wife, were completely unaware that Lin Dayou's face had darkened because of their words.
Old Man Lin held Lin Dayou tightly, preventing him from making any moves. If it weren't for the fact that Old Man Lin was his biological father, Lin Daguang would definitely have been severely beaten by Lin Dayou.
In fact, Lin Dayou did curse, but Lin Wangshi was even more agitated than Lin Dayou.
"Uncle, aunt, what are you saying? Did you just crawl out of the latrine? Your mouths smell so bad."
"Are you all so jealous of our family's success? My eldest daughter is perfectly fine. Don't talk nonsense. If you keep spouting nonsense, I won't be so polite."
These past few days, the Spirit King has gradually returned to his former shrewish nature due to the influence of Lin Luoxi. Now, he hears the old man and his wife saying that Lin Luoxi is possessed.
As Lin Luoxi's mother, she naturally didn't want to hear such words. She put her hands on her hips, her face instantly turned ugly, and she pointed at Old Madam Lin and angrily cursed.
This was the first time that Old Mrs. Lin and Old Mr. Lin had been scolded like this by Lin Wangshi. Their faces darkened, as if a storm was about to break.
However, when he thought about how Lin Dayou's family now had several hundred taels of silver, he swallowed his anger.
They vowed that once they got their hands on the money, they would sell Lin Wangshi, that whore, to a brothel so that thousands of men would sleep with her and ride her, to vent their hatred.
"Lin Wangshi, as your daughter-in-law, what right do you have to speak now? That wretched girl Lin Luoxi is disrespectful to us; it must be because you haven't raised her well."
Old Mrs. Wu had always looked down on Mrs. Lin, but upon hearing Mrs. Lin's words, she instantly reverted to her usual demeanor, completely forgetting that they were acting. She glared at Mrs. Lin with her triangular eyes and pointed at her, cursing her.
"Lin Dayou, did you see that? These are your so-called parents. They talk a good game, but they look down on you completely."
"If they really respected you, they wouldn't have acted so arrogantly towards your wife, nor would they have made up stories about your daughter being possessed by evil spirits."
Since the two families have severed ties, and with Lin Luoxi as her support, Lin Wangshi is not afraid of these people.
In front of everyone, he directly exposed the old man and his wife's thoughts, fearing that Lin Da would not be able to see the truth.
The onlookers, upon hearing Lin Wangshi's words, also began to discuss among themselves.
They had never believed that Old Man Lin and his family would repent, but after hearing what Lin Wangshi said, they nodded in approval and thought that what Lin Wangshi said made sense.
When Old Man Lin heard what Lin Wangshi said, his eyes turned vicious as he looked at her, wishing he could kill her immediately.
But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again, and his face continued to show that innocent, miserable, pitiful old age.
After being brainwashed by his wife and children for some time, Lin Dayou has long since become fully aware of the truth about how he was abandoned and abused by his parents since childhood.
Naturally, he didn't believe that Old Man Lin's decades of exploitation would suddenly turn for the better. However, with so many people watching, he was too embarrassed to shake off Old Man Lin who was hugging him in front of everyone.
"Uncle Lin, no matter what my daughter is like, it's not for you to slander her. I don't want to hear you say bad things about my daughter again." Because the other party was his former parents, Lin Dayou didn't say anything too harsh.
But next time, if anyone dares to say that his daughter is possessed by evil spirits, he will not let bygones be bygones and let it go so easily.
"Dayou, you're a piece of my flesh and blood. I raised you with all my love and care."
"Now that you see your parents are no longer useful, you want to abandon them and live a good life on your own."
"Do you know that during this time, your parents couldn't even afford to eat? Now that your life is better, you look down on your parents and want to abandon us, right? God, what a tragedy!"
When Old Mrs. Lin heard Lin Dayou still speaking up for that stupid bastard Lin Daya, he immediately started throwing a tantrum on the ground.
He slapped his thigh and began to wail, his voice so mournful that it moved Zhou Chao's elderly companions.
“Dayou, your parents were confused before, but now they know they were wrong. Why don’t they…” The people around him, who were about the same age as Old Man Lin, all tried to persuade Lin Dayou, completely forgetting how Lin Dayou lived in the Lin family.
"Dayou, your father has never begged anyone in his life. You don't have to support us, but you can at least give us some food." When Old Man Lin heard Zhou Chao and the other old men speak up for him, he knew he had achieved his goal and continued to lower his stance and play the victim.
Lin Dayou felt nothing at the moment, except that his eardrums were about to be deafened by these nitpicking voices.
He felt an overwhelming sadness when he heard the old men in the village helping Old Man Lin fire the gun.
The Lin family's past abuse of him was easily forgotten with just a few tears shed by them, making his heart grow even colder.
I gradually became agitated and lost all remaining affection for the old man. All I wanted was to get rid of these people and go home as soon as possible.
Before Lin Luoxi could even get close, all that could be heard was the sharp and sarcastic voice of Old Lady Lin echoing through the crowd.
Lin Luoxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw several familiar faces vaguely in the center of the crowd surrounded by layers of villagers.
"Make way, everyone make way." Hearing this, Lin Luoxi could no longer hold back and pushed through the crowd, walking towards the center.
"Father, Mother, why aren't you home yet? We were so worried." As soon as Lin Ruoxi squeezed into the crowd, she saw Lin Dayou standing in the middle of the crowd with his father hugging his leg, and called out to him, pretending to be ignorant.
Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, the people around her quickly made way for her.
"Lin Jia Da Ya, look how pitiful your grandparents are. Your lives are getting better now, so why don't you forgive your grandparents and give them some food?"
