"Old lady, haven't you heard the saying, 'After the husband dies, the son should follow his mother'?"
The eldest daughter-in-law looked at Lin Li with arrogance and even spat at her.
"Oh, so these feudal remnants still exist? Third brother, go find the village chief and listen to him. These feudal remnants should be locked up so they can't come out and harm people anymore."
"Grandma, you..."
Without saying a word, the third brother ran out to find the village chief.
The eldest daughter-in-law was so frightened that she kept pulling on Lin Dalang's arm, her smug expression vanished, and her whole body began to tremble.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
When Lin Dalang saw that Lin Laosan had disappeared, he shouted anxiously.
“What am I making a fuss about? Aren’t you the ones making a fuss? You bunch of animals! Your father’s body is barely cold, and you’re already thinking about dividing up his money and abandoning your mother who raised you with such hardship. You’re a bunch of ingrates.”
"Mom, don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Dalang's face turned red and then pale. As he spoke, he stepped forward, raised his hand high, and was about to swing it down at Lin Li's face.
"Lin Dalang, what do you want to do?"
The village chief's voice came from the courtyard. While Lin Dalang was stunned, Lin Li slapped him directly in the face.
'Smack!' Five bright red fingers were imprinted on Lin Dalang's left cheek. Lin Li shook her numb hand, switched hands, and slapped the other side.
'Snap~'
utterly silent!
Lin Dalang's face turned red from the beating, and he howled, wanting to hit Lin Li back.
Lin Laosan immediately stood in front of Lin Li and started fighting with Lin Dalang.
"Stop! All of you, stop!"
The villagers who came with the village chief finally managed to separate the two brothers.
Both brothers had injuries of varying degrees on their faces.
Lin Li gently pulled up Lin Laosan, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the village chief and villagers with red eyes, speaking firmly.
"Please let the village chief be our witness. From now on, I sever all ties with these beasts. I will live with Lao San from now on."
"Mom, what are you saying? It was my older brother who wanted to hit you, we didn't! Why are you cutting ties with us?"
Lin Xiaodi and Lin Xiaomei started making a ruckus together.
"Nothing to do with it? Your mother was almost beaten up by your eldest brother. Besides the third brother, who came to help me? You're all standing so far away. Are you afraid my blood will splatter on you?"
Unfilial sons: ...
"Fine, if you want to sever ties, then so be it. Let's see if you'll come begging to us later."
Lin Dalang said fiercely.
"Don't worry, I'd rather starve to death than die at your doorstep. Similarly, don't come to my door again. I'll consider all these years as feeding the dogs. Oh, no, you're worse than dogs. At least dogs know how to protect their owners. You're just animals, animals that are even worse than dogs."
Hearing Lin Li's cursing, Lin Dalang turned around in anger and wanted to leave, but his wife stopped him.
"Grandma, we can divide the family property, but you should at least give us some of Grandpa's money and his job too, right?"
Lin Dalang's wife was still eyeing that money.
"Pah!" Lin Li spat at her angrily.
“Dividing the family property? Who’s dividing the family property with you? You were kicked out by your mother. From now on, I, Old Lady Lin, have no son or daughter-in-law like you. You still want to take a share of the old man’s money? The old man married into my Lin family. Everything he owns is mine.”
Lin Li glanced at the village chief, then pointed at Lin Erlang and Lin Dalang's wife, "Oh, right! Village chief, there are two feudal remnants here. They say women hold up half the sky, yet they still insist that a husband should obey his son after his death!"
"Mom, don't talk nonsense..."
Lin Erlang screamed as he saw the village chief's wide eyes and the villagers pointing and whispering around him. "What's wrong with the old lady? Is she trying to drive me to my death?"
"Don't call me Mom. I don't have a son like you. Your father and I scrimped and saved our whole lives and worked hard to raise a bunch of ungrateful wretches."
The village chief looked at Lin Erlang and said indignantly, "Lin Erlang, you really have no conscience! Your parents did all sorts of dirty and hard work to send you to university. Did you waste all your education?"
"When I earn money, I will give my mother a lot of money for her retirement."
Lin Erlang listened to the village chief's words and quietly defended himself.
"Pah! Your retirement money? You've been working for years, and haven't you brought back a single penny? What did you promise before you went to university? You said that after you graduated and started working, you would bring half of your money back to support us, your parents? And now? Where is the money?"
"Isn't it because I'm short on money right now?"
"You're short on cash? You probably gave all your money to your mother-in-law!"
Lin Li sneered, and the surrounding villagers echoed her words.
"I knew it! Every time I saw Lin Erlang carrying big bags of things to his mother-in-law's house, it turned out he was going to show his respect to his mother-in-law."
"Pah, you ingrate!"
"Don't talk nonsense. My family is poor, so what's wrong with helping out a little? The old lady has so many sons, why should we be the only ones to hand over money?"
Seeing the villagers' disdainful looks, Lin Erlang's wife hurriedly explained.
"Why should I? It's because I worked so hard to raise him and send him to university. Shouldn't he support me in my old age? Your family is poor, what does that have to do with us? If you want to be filial to your parents, use your own money, not the Lin family's money. Your parents didn't support any of the Lin family members."
"Indeed, Old Lady Lin is absolutely right."
After listening, the village chief nodded and said, "Lin Erlang, you should keep your promise to your parents. From now on, you should give half of your salary to Old Lady Lin every month."
"Why should we?" Erlang's wife shouted immediately. "She has already cut ties with us, why should we still give her money?"
"that is……"
Lin Erlang breathed a sigh of relief when he thought about this. This is the one who wanted to sever ties with me. I will never have to take care of the old woman again.
"you……"
The village chief was so angry he was trembling all over.
Lin Li originally just wanted to sever all ties with them, to prevent these beasts from coming back to freeload after she became wealthy.
"Fine, I'll pretend I don't have a son like you. I don't need you to support me in my old age, and don't ever set foot in my house again."
"Hmph, you said it yourself."
Lin Li completely ignored the two beasts and said directly to the village chief, "Please, village chief, issue us a letter severing ties between our families."
The village chief looked at Lin Dalang and Lin Erlang and nodded.
"You two come along too!"
Lin Li looked at her younger brother and sister and said coldly.
The two people hiding behind the crowd turned pale instantly. "Mom, we're still in school..."
"Studying? You're just using studying as an excuse to laze around at home, aren't you? With your grades, what kind of education can you possibly have?"
Lin Li pointed at their noses and yelled, "One of you is 21, and the other is almost 20. Studying? Study my ass! I've raised you to adulthood, so don't stay at home, get out of here with me..."
Lin Xiaodi and Lin Xiaomei came up crying and signed the letter of severance.
