Lin Yuexi was just waiting for Li Sangru to say this?
In this way, she could legitimately propose to sever the relationship with the Lin family, and put an end to this matter so that it would not bother her again in the future.
"Li Sangru, you are not ashamed to say that you raised me this age.
I was four years old when you brought Lin Dashan to marry my father. As soon as I grew taller than the stove, you asked me to cook, wash dishes, and cut grass for pigs. When I grew up a little more, you asked me to go to the fields to earn work points.
In the middle of winter, you asked me to wash clothes for my whole family by the river. The cold water gave me chilblains as thick as lard on my hands. If my grandparents hadn't come to visit me and help me, I would have starved to death. But Lin Fugui, who claimed to be my biological father, played dumb and turned a blind eye.
At the last minute, at the last minute, they asked for 200 yuan as a betrothal gift to marry me off! I don’t even know if it’s the Lin family that supports me or me who supports the Lin family?”
As Lin Yuexi spoke, tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks, as if everything the original owner had experienced was exactly what she had experienced herself.
"You are an unfilial daughter. What's wrong with asking you to do some work at your mother's house? Every girl has gone through this."
As Lin Fugui was talking, he actually wanted to come over and hit Lin Yuexi again, but was held back by Captain Chen of Taohua Village, "Lin Fugui, are you done yet? Do you still want this girl?"
After hearing this, Lin Yuexi smiled coldly, "Captain Chen, don't pull him, I want to see how he beats me in front of Secretary Zhao.
And I also want everyone to see if he treats me as his own daughter. If he doesn’t, I will sever the father-daughter relationship with him in front of Secretary Zhao today..."
Lin Yuexi's tearful accusation against the Lin family moved all the villagers present.
Everyone supported Lin Yuexi's decision.
But Lin Fugui insisted, "You rebellious girl, without me, would you exist? Without me, would you be able to grow up like this?"
"Lin Fugui, you are not a human being. Your daughter is right to break off the relationship with you..."
Secretary Zhao saw this and asked Lin Fugui, "Are the things your daughter said true?"
Lin Fugui remained silent, but Li Sangru started to yell, "Secretary Zhao, Lin Yuexi lied. I didn't do that to her. She did all these things of her own accord..."
The villagers laughed out loud when they heard this.
"Li Sangru, do you think we are all fools? You don't want a child who is only a few years old to do these things every day. Will she take the initiative to do them?"
"Secretary Zhao, I can prove that what the girl from the Lin family said is true. My sister married the girl next door to her. She watched the girl from the Lin family grow up. She has told us more than once about Li Sangru abusing the girl from the Lin family..." An aunt testified for Lin Yuexi.
When Secretary Zhao heard this, he realized that it was true that Comrade Lin Yuexi was abused by her stepmother and disliked by her father.
Since they are such a family, it would be better for them to break off the relationship so as to avoid bringing trouble to Lu Cheng who is away in the future.
There is only one man like Lu Cheng who has made many military achievements for the country, not to mention in our commune, even in our county. We must not let these people hinder his future.
Secretary Zhao had an idea in mind, so he said in a serious tone, "Lin Fugui, Li Sangru, the facts are in front of us, and what you did is really against human ethics and family affection.
The villagers have seen the suffering that Lin Yuexi has endured in the Lin family over the years, so there is no need for you to quibble anymore."
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Li Sangru shouted, "You can break off the engagement. Bring me 200 yuan and we'll sign the agreement to break off the engagement..."
Liu Cuihua refused to listen and said, "You black-hearted woman, you want to extort money from my third son again, what the hell do you want..."
Liu Cuihua's words caused laughter from the surrounding villagers, and everyone sneered at Li Sangru's greedy behavior.
Lin Yuexi's eyes were full of anger at this time. She gritted her teeth and said, "Li Sangru, I have worked hard in the Lin family for so many years, and you have exploited me. In the end, you still want me to give you money? How dare you say such a thing!"
Secretary Zhao also frowned and sternly rebuked: "Li Sangru, you are making trouble for no reason! Lin Yuexi has suffered so much in your family, and you don't reflect on your mistakes, but still want to make money from her. This is absolutely impossible."
Li Sangru was accused by everyone, her face turned pale and red, but she still stiffened her neck and refused to give up: "She married out of my family, what's wrong with asking for some compensation? If you don't give me money, this marriage will not end!"
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath to calm herself down. She looked at Secretary Zhao and said, "Secretary Zhao, I won't give them another penny. I have worked like a slave for the Lin family all these years, and I haven't settled the debt they owe me yet.
If they insist on getting money before they are willing to break off the relationship, then I will still say the same thing, I will go to the county and the city to ask the higher-ups to judge the matter. I don’t believe there is no justice in this world!”
Secretary Zhao nodded and expressed his approval of Lin Yuexi's attitude: "Don't worry, Comrade Lin Yuexi, the commune will definitely do you justice. Lin Fugui, Li Sangru, if you don't cooperate to resolve this severance of the relationship today, your family will not be able to get involved in the commune's welfare policies in the future."
"Also, if you don't agree, all the work of carrying manure and digging pits in Taohua Village will be assigned to you in the future..." Team Leader Chen Dapeng also echoed.
Hearing what Secretary Zhao and Captain Chen said, Lin Fugui panicked. He glared at Li Sangru and complained, "It's all your fault. You had to make such a fuss. Now you've offended the whole commune."
Li Sangru also realized that her excessive demands might bring more serious consequences. Although she was unwilling, she did not dare to be tough anymore.
At this time, the elders in the village stood up and said, "Lin Fugui, Li Sangru, please stop making such a fuss. It will be better for everyone if the relationship is severed. You should also be responsible for what you have done."
Under the persuasion of everyone and the pressure from Secretary Zhao, Li Sangru and Lin Fugui gave in and no longer insisted on getting money before breaking off the engagement.
Secretary Zhao followed the procedure and asked people around him to draft a letter of severance, which detailed the intention of both parties to sever their relationship and the terms of non-interference in each other in the future.
Lin Fugui signed his name with trembling hands and pressed his fingerprint, but Lin Yuexi signed quickly.
After signing, Lin Yuexi straightened her back, glanced at Lin Fugui and Li Sangru, picked up the severance letter, bowed to Secretary Zhao and the villagers, and said, "Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Secretary Zhao, Captain Li, Captain Chen, and all the villagers for seeking justice for me. Let me leave this family of blood-sucking worms..."
At this point, everything is almost over.
Secretary Zhao and Captain Li persuaded everyone to leave, while Captain Chen took the unwilling Lin Fugui back to Taohua Village. Li Sangru, Lin Dashan, and Lin Wan followed behind dejectedly.
Afterwards, Secretary Zhao asked the Lu family to go back, but he still warned them not to hit others again. Then he himself returned to the commune.
