Lin Anru understood her son's thoughts very well. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she knew that he must be dissatisfied.
"Raise your head and speak out if you have any grievances. You're still hiding it in front of your parents. Be careful not to get sick from holding it in."
Lin Boyu raised his head, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. He choked with grievance and said, "You said that without us, Dad and Mom couldn't live. But Dad, you know that without you, I don't want to live either."
After saying that, he burst into tears. The word "wronged" could no longer express his current emotions.
He is only a nine-year-old child, and he has to work and study intensively every day, and he doesn't have much free time.
During the time that my younger sister came back, my father and mother reminded me almost every day to take care of her and to work hard to make a name for myself so that I could be a support to her.
He loves his sister dearly and has no complaints about working hard for her, but it does tire him. Having a sister who learns everything so quickly as a role model adds a lot of pressure to his life.
After being locked up at home for three days, his emotions had reached a breaking point.
This happened today. Besides my parents teaching me to be a man and protect my family, I also simply wanted to vent.
Although he didn't quite understand that this behavior was called venting, he only knew that he felt relaxed when he was punching and kicking.
His son was crying. Lin Anru breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time, she felt anxious again. Something was wrong with her son, very wrong.
Lin Anru did not understand the term "mental health", but he did understand the word "madness". His son's current condition was very similar to that.
He frowned tightly, not knowing how to enlighten his son for a moment.
Lin Boyu kept crying after saying that. Liu, who had originally planned to just watch, couldn't bear to hear him crying, so she ran over to hug him and comfort him.
Her son has been sensible since he was young, and it is rare for him to cry like this. As a mother, how can she not feel distressed?
Liu's comfort did not work. Lin Boyu continued to cry. It was unknown how long it took for him to stop.
After crying, he felt much better, as if the shackles on his body had disappeared. His face flushed, and with a hoarse voice, he whispered to Lin Anru, "I'm sorry."
Lin Anru touched his head and was ready to have a heart-to-heart talk with his father and son. But before he could open his mouth, the door opened and he had to stop and open it.
The person who came was the village chief. Before Lin Anru had time to say hello, she was caught off guard by his words.
"Aniu's son is dead!"
Lin Anru: ???
"He thinks it was you who did it."
Lin Anru: ...
"No, what does this have to do with me? His house and mine don't live in the same direction, and I wouldn't pass by his house on a normal day. How can you blame me for his son's death?"
It's so unfair. He and Aniu have no grudge against each other, and he has been very busy these days. How could he be so desperate as to harm his son?
"It really has nothing to do with you. He misunderstood. I've just cleared up the misunderstanding. I just came in to tell you that everything is fine."
Compared to the emotional Lin Anru, the village chief was quite calm. As long as it didn't concern the Lin family's children, there was nothing to get excited about.
He was the village chief, and these things in the village were related to him. He should preside over and make a fair outcome. However, the main reason he wanted to be the village chief was to prevent the Lin family from being bullied by the other three clans.
Now that the Lin family members don't want to work together, the village chief will just do his job impartially instead of trying hard to protect his clansmen. These are two completely different results.
"This...then how did this misunderstanding come about?"
Oh, since it’s none of her business, Lin Anru is not excited anymore. She is even in the mood to listen to the whole story and gossip about it.
Lin Boyu, who had just stopped crying, and Lin Shiyu, who had nothing to do, moved their ears when they heard this, and then tacitly took the small stool and sat down behind the village chief.
Lin Anru raised her eyebrows at the two children's actions, and finally agreed with their behavior.
"It's the Li family's fault for marrying such a vicious woman..."
Ah Niu's full name is Li Ah Niu. He is from the same family as Li Erye. He has been married twice. His first wife died during childbirth, so he took a second wife to take care of the children.
The second wife was a young lady carefully selected by Aniu and his mother, a young lady who was divorced because she was unable to bear children - Wang.
Wang was divorced and sent back home because she was unable to bear children, which brought shame to the Wang family. She was disliked by her brother and sister-in-law, and her life was difficult.
As soon as she heard someone was proposing marriage, she immediately agreed. Even though the man who married her told her in advance that he was marrying her just to make it easier to take care of their newborn child, she had no complaints.
Wang's brother and sister-in-law were very happy to get rid of this burden. After extorting some money from her, they happily sent her off to marry.
After getting married, Wang lived a very happy life. Her mother-in-law and husband were very satisfied with her because she treated the child as her own. The food and clothing expenses were no different from those of the Li family. This was treatment she had never received in her natal family or her ex-husband's family. She was very grateful for this and treated the child even better.
If life continued like this, Li Aniu's family would have been very happy, but accidents always happen.
Wang, who was deemed infertile by her ex-husband's family, became pregnant.
After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a daughter.
Even though she gave birth to a daughter, she was very happy. This proved that she was not incapable of giving birth. The groundless accusations she had suffered in the past and the grievances that made her cry in the middle of the night were finally going away from her.
Everyone in the Li family was very happy to have a child. They had not expected Wang to give birth when they married her, but now that she suddenly gave birth to a girl, it was an unexpected gift.
After having her own child, Wang's life focus gradually shifted to her biological daughter, and she paid less attention to Aniu's ex-wife's child.
Li Anniu's mother was also open-minded. She knew that Wang's child was young and needed more energy to take care of, so she would help take care of her grandson most of the time and did not blame her for not being good to her eldest grandson.
Wang was also a smart woman. She knew there was a limit to being partial to her own child because she gave birth to a girl who would still have to rely on her brother for support when she grew up. So she came to her senses and started to treat him well again, at least on the surface.
Nearly ten years passed after this incident. During this period, Wang gave birth to two more children, both boys.
Li Anniu and his mother were very happy about the arrival of the new member of the family. They were even happier because Wang had given birth to three children and was so kind to the eldest one.
