Chapter 78 The Lin Family's Greed



After Lin Fugui changed his clothes, he saw this situation and felt angry and ashamed. He didn't know how to persuade his wife. It was definitely impossible for him to go to Lin Yuexi to make trouble again!

He could only pace around the room anxiously, cursing Lin Yuexi all the time.

Lin Wan and Lin Shengli were so hungry that they went to the kitchen to find two cold steamed buns, and wolfed them down without even heating them up.

Lin Wan ate the cold steamed buns, thinking about the roast duck, braised pork and white rice at Lin Yuexi's house, and her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.

She walked into the inner room and said to Li Sangru, "Mom, I want to eat roast duck, I want to eat braised pork, I want to eat white rice..."

Li Sangru then stopped crying and said, "If you want to eat these, go ask your father for them. Lin Yuexi is his daughter..."

Seeing this, Lin Fugui said in embarrassment, "Don't you know the situation at home? It's good enough to have steamed buns and steamed bread to eat, where can we get roast duck and braised pork?"

"Dad, I don't care. I want to eat. Lin Yuexi and the others are eating, so why am I not eating?" Lin Wan yelled loudly, as if she would not give up until she had the roast duck and braised pork.

Li Sangru wiped her tears and said bitterly, "Boss, Lin Yuexi is your daughter. How can the daughter eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks while the father only eats soup? You might as well let her give you 30 yuan a month as a filial gift!"

When Lin Fugui heard what Li Sangru said, his eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. He frowned and said, "Do you think that girl is easy to deal with? It's strange that she would be willing to give it to you after such a commotion today."

Li Sangru sat up from the bed, staring with red and swollen eyes, "If she doesn't give it to me, we will go to the village and make a scene, let everyone know that she is an unfilial daughter, and see how she can stay in this village in the future."

Lin Fugui hesitated. "It will not be good for us if we continue to make trouble like this. If the news gets out, I don't know how others will look at us."

"What are you afraid of!" Li Sangru raised her voice. "We are her parents. We gave birth to her and raised her. What's wrong with asking for some filial piety money? If she doesn't give it, it's her fault."

Lin Wan echoed from the side: "That's right, Dad, Mom is right, she can't live a good life herself, so she doesn't care about us."

Lin Fugui pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then I'll find a time to talk to her, but I can't force it, I have to think of a way or go to the village office to ask and let the village make the decision for me."

"Hey, this is a good idea. Go find our village captain Chen Dapeng tomorrow and ask him to negotiate with Captain Li to find Lin Yuexi..."

Li Sangru agreed immediately. Taohua Village and Qinghe Village were not far apart, separated by a river. Otherwise, when Lu Cheng returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, he would not have encountered Lin Yuexi falling into the water, and Lin Yuexi would not be in this situation today.

So everything Lin Yuexi had was given by me, so what if I asked her to give some money to honor her parents?

Li Sangru has a lot of plans, and Lin Fugui is a man who only listens to his wife.

So, the next day, Lin Fugui went to the village office to find Captain Chen Dapeng and told him about this matter.

Chen Dapeng yelled, "Lin Fugui, are you crazy about money? You ask your daughter for 30 yuan every month as a gift.

Do you know who your daughter and son-in-law are now? Your son-in-law Lu Cheng is now a battalion commander and is studying at the military academy. If I guess correctly, he will be promoted to a regimental commander immediately after completing his studies at the military academy.

Your daughter Lin Yuexi is now a recognized miracle doctor in every household. Secretary Zhao of the commune and Deputy Secretary Li of the county have specifically asked her to protect you. You dare to ask her for 30 yuan a month for pension. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey! Go away. The village has no time to take care of your family's mess. Take care of your own business."

Lin Fugui's face turned red and white after being scolded by Chen Dapeng. He stammered, "I... I don't know the situation. No matter how powerful she is, she can't ignore her parents."

Chen Dapeng waved his hands impatiently: "Don't make a fuss here. It's good that your girl didn't come after you for what she did to Lin Yuexi. I'm telling you, don't provoke her, or you'll be in trouble."

Lin Fugui returned home dejected and told Li Sangru what Chen Dapeng had said. Li Sangru was also dumbfounded, but she still said, "Is Chen Dapeng trying to scare us? How could Lin Yuexi be so capable?"

"Captain Chen's words are so convincing, how could they be false?" Lin Fugui said unhappily.

Lin Wan listened at the side and curled her lips: "I don't care. No matter how powerful she is, she can't watch us starve to death. Dad, think of another way."

Lin Fugui said, "What can I do? This rebellious girl has grown strong now and dares to go against me..."

Li Sangru thought about it again and again, but she was still unwilling to give in. How could she live a good life without missing her mother's home?

So she said to Lin Fugui: "The village doesn't care, but you are her father anyway. Let's go to her house and ask for money. If she doesn't give us, we can use her radio, sewing machine, and bicycle as collateral!"

Lin Fugui thought of Lin Yuexi's desperate posture, and his heart began to numb.

"That damn girl Lin Yuexi is very ruthless when she beats people up. Can we still go?"

Li Sangru thought for a while and said, "Then wait for Dashan to come back in two days. No matter how strong she is, she can't beat Dashan even if she uses ruthless force..."

Lin Fugui, this inhumane man, actually nodded in agreement.

Besides, the Lin family was discussing how to get benefits from Lin Yuexi, and the Lu family was also not idle.

On this day, Liu Cuihua was wandering around outside, but she heard Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Liu... and a few others talking.

"Do you know? I heard that Lin Fugui, the father of Lu Laosan's wife, went to find Captain Chen of their village and asked Yuexi to give him 30 yuan of filial piety money every month..." said Mrs. Zhang.

"I heard about it too, but it didn't work out because Captain Chen scolded me back..." said Mrs. Liu.

"Captain Chen may have scolded her, but I think Li Sangru is not someone who can be easily dealt with. She will definitely not accept this. I heard that she came to cause trouble last time, but was beaten back by Yuexi..."

Liu Cuihua heard their discussion and immediately asked, "What, what are you talking about? How dare the Lin family ask the third son's wife for 30 yuan a month as a tribute?"

"Cuihua, you may not know yet! I guess the Lin family will come to our house in a few days..." said Mrs. Zhang.

When Liu Cuihua heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She thought, this is my San'er's money. I've struggled for so long to get 10 yuan a month for his pension, and now the Lin family is asking for 30 yuan a month as filial piety money. Isn't this a slap in my face?

This won’t do. After all, this is our Lu family’s money. How did it fall into the hands of the Lin family?
