Along the way, the second and youngest uncles had their grandsons carry them to the ancestral home.
As they ran, the group cursed Ling Huanwu's ancestors for eighteen generations, completely unaware that they were indirectly cursing themselves.
Ling's parents followed behind them, exchanged a glance, and breathed a sigh of relief.
They wanted to rely on these clansmen to put pressure on Yao Yao and get her property back, but they didn't want this property belonging to their main branch to fall into the hands of these ungrateful relatives.
Fortunately, Old Master Ling had a backup plan, and Ling Huanwu managed to escape.
Otherwise, they would become the culprits who lost the legitimate bloodline assets of the Ling family.
The group left in a grand procession, and then returned in a grand procession.
When they saw their ancestral home, which had been completely emptied and only the walls remained, they almost fainted.
The second and youngest uncles were so angry they were trembling. They sent someone to the ancestral hall to retrieve the eldest brother's memorial tablet, and prepared to rush to the train station to intercept Ling Huanwu and threaten her.
But the eldest grandson, who ran to get the memorial tablet, stumbled and almost fell several times before he could finish a complete sentence in a state of terror.
"No...no good, the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall have all been moved away..."
"No, not all of them were moved..."
The second and youngest uncles' eyes lit up upon hearing this.
But then the eldest grandson pulled a memorial tablet from his pocket, saying, "She left our great-grandmother's memorial tablet behind..."
"Oh, right, my cousin also left a note in the ancestral hall!"
Several people gathered around to check.
The note contained several words that were utterly offensive.
“I’ve taken all of my grandfather’s property with me. The things in the treasure pavilion are your original family property from the countryside. You don’t need to thank your grandfather for spending money to store it for you, and you don’t need to thank me for making room for you!”
The second uncle and the youngest uncle felt a surge of anger and blood rush to their heads when they thought about the dilapidated state of the treasure pavilion earlier, and they both spat out a mouthful of blood.
As luck would have it, a newspaper reporter, panting and carrying a camera, arrived at just the right moment.
She looked around at the bare walls of her ancestral home and was completely stunned.
"You call your family capitalists? You should call yourselves poor people!"
If the word "poor" hadn't been mentioned, the second and youngest uncles, who were already coughing up blood, would have suddenly felt dizzy, their minds would have gone blank, and they would have fainted.
Watching these ungrateful wretches suffer such a miserable state, Ling's parents could no longer hold back their laughter.
Only when the group of people turned around angrily, clenching their fists so tightly they cracked, did Mr. and Mrs. Ling shut their mouths, their faces pale.
The gate of the Ling family's ancestral home slammed shut.
From inside came a group of people roaring hysterically, "Ling Huanwu, we'll tear you to pieces!"
*
Inside the train station.
Ling Huanwu chose the train with the earliest departure time and boarded it.
This train is not heading towards the island.
However, in order to avoid being caught by the Ling family members who had caught up with her at the train station, she decided to buy a new train ticket at the next station.
Inside the station, she hurriedly boarded the train, but didn't see a familiar figure also hurriedly getting off the train at the door of the next carriage.
The two were separated by just one carriage, perfectly missing each other as one went up and the other down.
When the train whistle sounds.
The Ling family rushed over, sleeves rolled up. Smelling the exhaust fumes and watching trains heading in different directions, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
At this moment, Ling's parents, who had been beaten black and blue, were left on the platform, trembling with fear as they listened to the ungrateful bastards who had not found their loved one cursing incessantly.

Zhou Jiuzhen led five or six soldiers and went north with Zhou Shuyao and his group to search for people.
As soon as they got off the train, they asked around and headed to the Ling family's ancestral home.
Because he always thought Ling Huanwu's surname was "Lin," he made quite a few jokes. On the other hand, Zhou Shuyao secretly found out the location of the Ling family's ancestral home and rushed over there.
In his previous life, Zhou Shuyao often heard that the second and third wives of the Ling family would ask Ling Huanwu for money every month.
In the following years, Ling Huanwu's parents, having squandered all their wealth on Song Yaoyao and unable to afford to pay these parasites their monthly living expenses, called him for help to borrow money.
He was already a millionaire at the time.
Without much thought, he lent them the money. Later, when his relatives called to borrow money one after another, he lent it to them without a second thought.
He thought Ling Huanwu would be moved, but she had several big arguments with him after finding out.
At the time, he couldn't understand why she was so indifferent to family ties. What was wrong with having money to help relatives and friends?
Now he finally understands.
This group of people will do anything for money, even kidnapping people.
Once he finds these people, he'll make sure they regret it!
At the entrance of the Ling family ancestral home.
Zhou Jiuzhen and Zhou Shuyao bumped into a group of people who had just returned from the train station as soon as they arrived.
Zhou Jiuzhen was dressed in military uniform, his posture upright.
Because he had no clothes to wear, Zhou Shuyao also wore the military uniform that his older brother had outgrown.
When the two men in imposing military uniforms appeared before the crowd, the Ling family members, who had been cursing and swearing all the way back, instinctively took a few steps back.
After all, soldiers are highly sought after these days.
But capitalists are most like rats in the gutter.
Therefore, the Ling family was most afraid of soldiers.
They only dared to kidnap Ling Huanwu after hearing that the group leader had rejected her and that the two hadn't registered their marriage.
As the eldest member of the group, the second uncle stepped forward and tentatively asked, "What brings you here?"
Zhou Jiuzhen didn't hesitate; after confirming that it was this group who took Ling Huanwu away, he began to take action.
He picked up the stone lion in front of the Ling family's ancestral home and threw it in front of them. The bluestone bricks in front of them shattered into a spider web instantly, scaring them all to death.
