The larger the family, the more dirty deeds are hidden within. Lin Yueyu's lineage is a branch of the Lin family, and they originally relied on ancestral property to survive.
After her father died in an accident, her other uncles immediately drove her and her widow out of the Lin family and seized their property.
“These are the Lin family’s ancestral property, meant to be left to the male members of the family. Your family line has ended, so these things have nothing to do with you.”
Lin Yueyu's mother had been in poor health since giving birth to her, and relied on herbal medicine to sustain her life for many years. Later, she also experienced the devastating news of her husband's death. She never expected that her former good brothers in the Lin family would be so heartless.
"Yue'er is a child of the Lin family. These things should have been left to her. What right do you have to take them?"
Her uncles exchanged glances and said nothing more, then ordered their men to throw out the mother and child's belongings.
“My eldest brother has no descendants, so he has to rely on us adopted children to carry on his family line. Naturally, all that property belongs to us. This little girl will get married in the future, and she won’t be on the family register. Either you take her with you and leave, or you can let our clan raise her. A little girl can be fed as long as we provide her with food.”
Her mother had never suffered such humiliation before. She was so angry at their shameless behavior that she trembled all over. In the end, she held onto a sliver of hope that the clan would uphold justice, but no one cared at all.
"Clan leader, Yue'er is also of the Lin family bloodline, our only child in this world. What right do they have to drive us out!"
There were many onlookers, and the pointing and whispering of outsiders made the Lin family elders, who considered themselves highly respected, feel embarrassed. They stepped forward to smooth things over and led them into the tall and gloomy main house of the Lin family, blocking the prying eyes of outsiders.
"Don't bother with the third son's family. No matter how you look at it, it's just a little girl. Don't worry, the clan will adopt a boy for you, so you won't have to worry about not having any descendants after you pass away."
Apart from those who came to watch the spectacle, not a single person in the large Lin family stood up to say a word of justice, including those hypocrites who constantly talked about propriety and shame.
They tacitly allowed her uncles to drive her and her mother out.
Lin Yueyu's mother was already at her limit, and their shameless behavior further aggravated her, causing her to pass away within a few days.
She was left with only one child and could only survive by relying on the support of her maternal grandparents.
Therefore, she hates the Lin family and this identity.
Later, when she arrived in Xin'an, almost no one associated her with the large and sinful Lin family of Yucheng.
She has a new life and a family that everyone envies.
Lin Yueyu never imagined that one day her family would fall into hell because of the surname Lin.
That day, her husband went to work as usual, while she was on leave at home. Her son was graduating from high school in a few days and was excitedly discussing with her whether he should work in the countryside or in the city.
“Our teacher said that we young people should respond to the call of the country, shed our blood in the poor areas of the motherland, and go there to build the country.”
The young man, about to graduate from high school, was full of enthusiasm. At that time, the "Down to the Countryside Movement" was popular, and he also wanted to go to those impoverished places.
"But I don't know what Uncle Song thinks yet." He scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Lin Yueyu rarely teased her son, "Want your Uncle Song to give you some guidance? Anyway, your dad's idea is for you to go to the countryside for a few years of training."
He didn't actually want Old Song's guidance; he just wanted to know what Old Song thought about his daughter's future. He thought he was hiding it well, but little did he know that his emotions were written all over his face.
“Wherever you go, you are contributing to the country’s development. Your Uncle Song should be reluctant to let Xiaoqing, a young girl, go to the countryside. If you go to a faraway place, you may have to be separated for several years.”
Lin Yueyu looked at her son's conflicted expression with amusement. At this age, the boy had both the passion to dedicate himself to impoverished areas and the hesitation of not wanting to leave his loved one.
"Mom, please stop talking. If you keep talking, my brother will be reluctant to leave. He can't live without Sister Song Qing."
The younger daughter leaned over with a mischievous look, teased her brother a few times, and then ran out.
"Don't run yet! A batch of dried fruit has arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Take some to your sister Song Qing!"
The son's face showed the anger that had been pointed out, and he scratched his head after a long while.
"Has Xiaoqing told you what your Uncle Song is thinking?"
"Uncle Song has looked into several companies, and it seems that Brother Song Yang's factory is also hiring."
His face was full of conflicted and distressed expressions. Song Hai was definitely reluctant to let his daughter go to the countryside, and he was also struggling with this decision.
It was an ordinary morning, but one that she would feel incredibly happy every time she thought about it afterward, until a rapid knocking sounded at the door.
She was in the kitchen making steamed dumplings for the two of them, which they had been craving for a long time, when her son ran over to open the door.
But after a while there was still no sound from her son. Lin Yueyu was feeling strange, so she put down what she was doing and went to the door, where she saw her son standing there alone.
In front of him were several guards wearing green military uniforms and red armbands.
These days, green military uniforms are all the rage on the streets. People have been saving up their cloth coupons for a long time just to get this smart uniform. But the red armbands they wear made Lin Yueyu's heart jump.
"What happened to Yuqi?"
The son turned his head, trying to appear calm.
"mom"
“We came here on orders to search, but we didn’t expect your son to be uncooperative. This is obstructing our work and hindering the people’s inspection of you!”
Most of the guards were young, and they quickly interrupted Chen Yuqi, shoving him aside as a group of people rushed in.
She had little recollection of what happened after that, only that the house was a mess, they had turned it upside down, and all sorts of books were scattered on the floor.
Hearing the commotion, her daughter ran back inside. Seeing the scene at home, she burst into tears, and her mother quickly pulled her daughter to her side.
Everything that followed felt like a dream. The house was ransacked, and soon her husband was brought back.
"dad!"
The daughter was even more frightened when she saw her father. Although Lin Yueyu was so scared that her hands were trembling, she quickly covered her daughter's mouth to stop her from crying.
"Listen to me, it's okay."
The husband also tried to remain calm and shook his head at them.
Some neighbors heard the commotion and came over out of curiosity, but as soon as they saw the red armbands they were wearing, they quickly scattered and dared not get close.
"Comrade, what exactly happened?" Lin Yueyu was unsure of what was going on, and after much deliberation, she quietly asked.
The young guard glanced at her. "You know what happened."
Soon her family was taken away, and within a few days they were searched, detained, and interrogated. She never saw her family again.
