"Aunt Lin is right. The dowry that the Lin family gave to the Zhao family was originally intended as payment for severing ties. How could the Zhao family have the nerve to come knocking on our door?"
"Of course! There are people who are that shameless!"
"So the rumors from the next village are true; the Zhao family is really no good!"
...
The villagers grew louder and louder as they discussed, completely disregarding whether the Zhao family could hear them, and making no attempt to hide their contemptuous glances.
Hearing the surrounding discussion, Zhao Laoda's eyes darted around, and he tried to change the subject. He turned to the Lin brothers, pointed at them, and said...
"Let's not talk about Zhao Lao Er now. Tell me, why did you kick the Lin brothers out of their home?"
Lin Li scoffed, "First, whether I kick them out of the house is my Lin family's business, not your Zhao family's; second, the whole village knows why they were kicked out. The letter severing ties was written by the village chief himself, and the villagers witnessed it. What, you have a problem with that?"
"I was just asking, after all, the Lin brothers are quite filial..."
Before Zhao Laoda could finish speaking, the village chief interrupted him, "They're filial? If they were filial, would they beat their own mother? Would they come to their house to steal things for money?"
...
Why do these two brothers act differently from what they said?
Didn't they say that Old Lady Lin was bewitched by Lin Laosan, which is why she kicked the two of them out?
Zhao Laoda turned his head and looked at the timid Lin brothers. Then he saw the angry looks of the villagers and the village chief. He immediately realized that he had been used as a pawn by the two brothers!
He scrambled to his feet and pointed at the two Lin brothers, yelling, "You two bastards, you even tried to cheat your uncle for money! Are you even human?"
The two Lin brothers lowered their heads, pretending to be quails.
As Zhao the Elder cursed, he walked out of the village, turning back every now and then to spit water at the two Lin brothers.
Seeing that the head of the Zhao family had run away, the rest of the Zhao family members quickly stood up and limped away after him!
The villagers burst into laughter as they watched the Zhao family flee in disarray!
"Alright, everyone, go home if you have nothing else to do!"
After the villagers answered with smiles, they chatted and dispersed.
Only the two Lin brothers remained, standing hesitantly outside the door, unsure whether to go in or go out!
Lin Li didn't even glance at them. She got up, and she and Lin Laosan each carried a chair into the house and locked the door.
Hearing the 'bang' of the door locking, a glint of malice flashed in Lin Lao Er's eyes. "You old hag, don't be so smug, you'll get what's coming to you."
Then, he turned and walked towards the town...
They found Wang Daqiang in a remote, dilapidated shack in town. "Brother, I've been looking for you everywhere!"
Wang Daqiang was playing cards with his brothers when he saw Lin Lao Er walk in. He picked up a bottle of liquor, took a swig, and wiped the liquor stains from the corner of his mouth with his hand.
"Did you need something?"
"Hey bro, wanna do a business deal?"
"What kind of business?"
"Old Lady Lin must have made a fortune on this trip to Shenzhen. The gifts she brought back are worth at least that much."
Lin Lao Er held up four fingers and pointed them at Wang Daqiang.
Seeing Wang Daqiang's eyes follow the movement of his fingers, Lin Lao Er knew that the matter was settled.
"Is she your biological mother? What are you doing, coming here to show off?"
"Forget it, she kicked me out a long time ago and didn't give me a single penny, so..."
Lin Lao Er sat down next to Wang Daqiang and said obsequiously, "That's why I came to you to cooperate."
"Oh, how would you like to collaborate?"
Wang Daqiang threw his cards onto the table, picked up the wine his subordinate handed him, opened a bottle for Lin Lao Er, and handed it to him.
"There will only be two people at their house tonight, so..."
After taking a big gulp of wine, Lin Lao Er leaned close to Wang Daqiang's ear and whispered his plan.
After hearing his plan, Wang Daqiang's eyes revealed disdain. This man is ruthless; he treats even his own mother like this. It seems I have to be careful around him.
After Lin Lao Er finished explaining his plan, he was so eager to see Lin Li and Lin Lao San suffer that he didn't notice Wang Daqiang's gaze.
"Okay, let's do it your way. We'll split it 70/30, I'll get 70, and you get 30!"
Lin Lao Er's mouth moved, he originally wanted 40%, but seeing Wang Daqiang's fierce eyes, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Alright, then it'll be 70/30!" Lin Lao Er reluctantly agreed.
After hearing his agreement, Wang Daqiang put his arm around his shoulder and walked inside. "Come on, let's plan it out properly again!"
The two chatted and laughed as they went into the inner room.
On the other side, after Lin Li and Lin Laosan closed the door, they returned to the living room. Looking at the breakfast that had gone cold, Lin Li took out some food from her spatial storage.
"I'm still hungry, let me eat some more!"
"good!"
The mother and son sat down again, and the relaxed and warm atmosphere returned.
How's your revision going? Are you confident about taking the college entrance exam next year?
"Yes, apart from English, there aren't many other problems now."
"Then bring your English book over in a bit so I can take a look."
Lin Li was a college student at a 211 university in her previous life, and she worked in foreign trade after graduation. She never lost her English, so tutoring Lin Laosan for the college entrance examination should be... not a big problem!
Lin Laosan no longer doubts any of Lin Li's actions.
If Mom can be reborn and gain access to a magical space, then she must be skilled in everything and incredibly capable in everything.
He quickly ran back to his bedroom, took his English textbook and workbook to the main room, and handed them to Lin Li.
She flipped through it and found that the current English was less difficult, focused on basic knowledge, and had simpler question types, much easier than the English she had learned in her previous life.
Are there any parts you don't understand?
When Lin Laosan saw Lin Li's expression, he knew that she must know everything, so he happily asked Lin Li about the things he had never understood.
So the mother and son spent the whole day teaching and learning, which was quite fulfilling.
As night fell, the mother and son washed up and went back to their room early.
They had no idea that several pairs of fierce eyes were staring intently at their lit room from the corner of the wall outside their house!
It wasn't until midnight, almost two hours after the lights inside the house were turned off, that the crowd outside quietly approached the Lin family's house.
On a moonlit night with a strong wind, figures quickly jumped into the Lin family's courtyard, each carrying a long knife, and split into two groups to approach the Lin family mother and son.
The cold night wind howled, rustling the leaves in the yard and making the corn stalks in the fields outside rustle.
The sound of a dog barking suddenly came from afar, startling the dark figure in the yard, which paused for a moment. After the sound stopped, it slowly moved forward again.
"You take a few brothers to the old woman's room, and we'll go to Lin Laosan's room."
A new round of competition has begun! Please be sure to read on! (Hands clasped in prayer)
