"You woman, you're really going against the heavens! You're going against the heavens! Someone come quick, someone's going to be beaten to death!"
Zhao Laoda, like a rural shrew, sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, his crying and wailing even more dramatic than a typical shrew.
The commotion at Lin Li's house had already alerted the villagers. When everyone rushed over, they saw Lin Li giving the Zhao family a thorough lecture, so they didn't go over to investigate.
Seeing Zhao Laoda's tantrum, they couldn't help but sneer and discuss: "It seems my sister-in-law was right. This Zhao family is a bunch of good-for-nothings. Look at Zhao Laoda's behavior, isn't it exactly the same as the way Widow Wang in the village acts like a scoundrel?"
"Pah! He's way better than me; I'm still studying."
Widow Wang was eating melon seeds and reading when she heard their conversation turn to her.
Is she really that unreasonable? Compared to this Boss Zhao, she's much more reasonable!
...
Seeing that Widow Wang was also watching the commotion, the two villagers chuckled and changed the subject, continuing to eat their melon seeds.
Lin Li looked at Zhao Laoda, who was sitting on the ground, pounding his fists and legs, crying his eyes out. She silently picked up the wooden stick and said, "If you cry out again, I'll make sure you never have to make a sound again!"
Zhao Laoda, who was engrossed in his performance, didn't hear her words clearly, nor did he notice her actions. His wife, sitting next to him, trembled with fear as she looked at the wooden stick Lin Li raised.
Her face was still throbbing with pain, but seeing that Old Man Zhao was still oblivious to his fate, she bravely tugged at his clothes.
What are you doing?
Just as Zhao Laoda was crying emotionally, his wife interrupted him, which made him unhappy. He was about to show off his power when he caught sight of Lin Li raising the wooden stick.
The crying and screaming stopped abruptly...
Suddenly, the world fell silent!
"Mom, you're tired, sit down for a while!"
Seeing that Lin Li had been standing, Lin Laosan was worried that she would get tired, so he quickly brought her a chair to sit down.
As soon as he saw her sit down, he stood next to her, grinning.
This Uncle Zhao has never been a good person. Even when my father was still alive, he often came to our house to freeload.
He took things from their house and borrowed money from them, and never paid them back. Mom used to turn a blind eye to it for Dad's sake.
When he was a child, he saw his father being beaten by him. Later, he asked his father why he always gave in to his uncle. His father just shook his head awkwardly and left!
He was overjoyed to see his mother so powerful today, and he felt that most of the anger his father had suffered at his hands before had finally been released!
"Stop crying? Stop shouting?"
After Lin Li sat down, she lowered her head and looked at the Zhao family members who were either sitting or lying on the ground.
"If you don't give us an explanation today, we won't get up!"
"You also have to pay our medical expenses!"
"Yes, one thousand in compensation, oh! Not ten thousand!"
The two brothers, Lin Laoda and Lin Laoda, told them that Old Lady Lin had made a lot of money in Shenzhen and had given more than a thousand yuan to the villagers, so they had to compensate them more!
She even wanted her to pay compensation. Looking at the pile of nonsensical 'garbage' on the ground, Lin Li laughed in anger.
"You came to my house first thing in the morning, trying to break into my home without saying a word. Don't you know that's illegal? And you want my money? That's burglary. Hitting you? That's self-defense, understand?"
...
How did the same thing suddenly become a crime for them? The Zhao family members looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Just then, the village chief arrived late. Looking at Lin Li sitting in the chair and the Zhao family members sitting on the ground, he suppressed the corners of his mouth that were turning up and walked to Lin Li's side with a serious expression.
Seeing that Lin Laosan was busy, he moved another chair next to Lin Li and said solicitously, "Village Chief, you must be exhausted, please sit down!"
Without the slightest hesitation, I sat down!
“Village chief, you have to stand up for us! Old Lady Lin beat us! Look how badly she beat me!”
When Zhao Laoda saw the village chief arrive, he instantly felt powerful again and started loudly complaining.
The village chief looked at Zhao Laoda's old face, a mixture of tears and snot from crying, and his lips twitched involuntarily. The neighboring village chief's description of Zhao Laoda's most mischievous and troublesome nature had come to life!
"But when I first arrived, I heard you were planning to break into a house and rob someone?"
The village chief turned to look at Lin Li and humbly asked for her advice.
Lin Li nodded and explained, "They tried to force their way into my house without my permission, and they even asked me to give them my money for safekeeping. What is this if not burglary?"
Is this another way of explaining it?
The village chief turned to look at Zhao Laoda, "How do you explain this?"
“She’s my brother’s wife. My brother is gone. What kind of woman can she manage the household? Look, she even kicked my eldest nephew out of the house. What kind of mother is that?”
As he spoke, he pointed at the two Lin brothers who were cowering in fear, and then continued with a burning indignation, "I'm here to help my brother with the housework. I can't let a woman ruin our perfectly good home!"
Hearing his arrogant words, Lin Li laughed in anger, and slammed the stick hard on the ground. The Zhao family members trembled in fear.
“Your brother is an adopted son-in-law. Do you know what that means? It means he married into the family, so I'm the one who should be in charge of this household.”
Zhao Laoda wanted to say something, but after seeing Lin Li's unfriendly look, he swallowed his words.
"Secondly, when your younger brother married into the family, he signed a letter severing ties with you."
After saying that, Lin Li took out the letter of severance of kinship and the marriage certificate from her spatial storage.
"Look carefully, it's written very clearly and plainly here. Zhao Erlang took my family's betrothal gifts and married into my family, which is considered repaying your parents' kindness in raising you. Now you, a complete stranger, want to come to my house and act like a bully? You're dreaming!"
The village chief took the letter of severance of kinship and the marriage certificate, examined them carefully and meticulously, and then nodded: "What Aunt Lin said is true!"
Lin Laosan also saw the words on the marriage certificate from behind and was extremely shocked. It turned out that his father had such a sad past when he came to their family.
After seeing these words, Lin Laoda and Lin Laoer exchanged a glance and tried to sneak away, but they were surrounded by the villagers, making it impossible for them to move.
"Erlang and I have never made this public because Erlang is a really good person, and I don't want people to say that he is a child his parents didn't want."
I see!
Such a letter of severance of ties and marriage agreement is indeed very hurtful to a person!
"So when he was alive, you came to my door begging for things and money and didn't pay them back, and I didn't say anything, because I wanted to protect Erlang's dignity. Now that he's gone, how can you still think that I'll be as tolerant of you as before?"
