Seeing that the matter was over, the villagers slunk away, leaving on their own.
After seeing off the village chief and the village party secretary, Lin's father returned to the house and looked at Lin Piaoxue, who was standing in the middle of the main room, with a complicated expression.
"Snowflake, this is the last time I'll help you. From now on, you're on your own!"
Looking at the wounds on Lin Piaoxue's face, Lin's mother said with grief and indignation, "Second Brother Lin, Piaoxue is also a victim."
Lin's father sternly rebuked Lin's mother, saying, "Shut up! A doting mother spoils her son. You also bear some responsibility for Lin Piaoxue's current predicament. My tolerance for you has reached its limit. If you say another word, you'd better pack your bags and get out of here right now."
"You..." Lin's mother wanted to retort, but faced with Lin's father's angry face, she shut her mouth and dared not say another word.
“Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to your descendants. You have already ruined Piaoxue, so don’t ruin your three sons as well. You are not allowed to interfere in the marriages of your three sons. If you don’t listen to me, I will divorce you and I will not give you a single penny.” Lin’s father said coldly.
“No, you can’t do that,” Lin’s mother said angrily.
"I can!" Lin's father said firmly.
Lin's mother looked at Lin's father in disbelief, then at the three Lin brothers. The three brothers had their heads down, their attitude saying it all: they did not want Lin's mother to interfere in their marriage. Compared to Lin's mother, they trusted Lin's father's judgment of people more.
A surge of anger welled up in Lin's mother's heart, mixed with a trace of sorrow. Why did this happen?
Qinghuan hates her, her three sons understand her, and Piaoxue, who was once her pride, is now disfigured and will have a hard time finding a husband in the future.
Is she really not a good mother?
What a failure!
As Mr. Lin watched his wife's expression change repeatedly, her lips moved a few times, and he watched as she staggered back to her room, all his helplessness turning into a sigh!
Uncle Lin looked at Grandpa Lin and asked, "Dad, when you come home this time, go and visit Mom's grave! She waits for you to come back every day, longing to hear your explanation."
"Father, you're really cruel. You took Mother's dowry money and heartlessly abandoned us, disappearing without a trace for twenty years. Everyone in the village says you eloped with another woman, but I don't believe it. My mother was so beautiful, so gentle, how could you fall for another woman?" Lin's father complained.
"A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen one, and a stolen one is not as good as one that cannot be stolen," Lin Ming blurted out.
Wei Hong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Grandpa Lin and saw that his old face was ashen, clearly angered by Lin Ming's words.
Lin Feng tugged at Lin Ming's sleeve and whispered, "We are the younger generation, we shouldn't concern ourselves with the affairs of the older generation."
Lin Ming covered his mouth. Oh my god! He spoke too fast. Before he could react, the words had already come out.
"Father, have you married and had children outside?" Uncle Lin asked.
Lin's father said with disdain, "You old codger! You're so old, you already have grandchildren, and you still want to take a second wife. Aren't you ashamed? I'm ashamed for you."
Lin Ming looked at his father and said, "Dad, Grandpa is so rich, he probably has a second, third, and fourth wife outside."
Lin Ming sighed as he spoke, "Men go astray as soon as they get money."
"Aren't you a man?" Grandpa Lin said with a dark face.
Looking at Grandpa Lin's gloomy face, Lin Ming shrank his neck and mustered his courage to say, "My grandma said that only when you get married can you be considered a man. If you don't get married, you can only be considered a boy. I'm still a long way from being a man."
Grandpa Lin was speechless for a moment, then retorted, "If you can't get a wife and can't be a man, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent!"
“I resent that my family is too poor. We drink porridge, eat vegetables with hardly any oil, and don’t have a penny in our pockets. Unlike the sons of rich families who are born into wealth and have everything they need.” Lin Ming said with envy, “Why wasn’t I born into a wealthy family? Then you could have whatever you want and have money to spare for a lifetime.”
Lin Ming sighed and lamented, "Reincarnation is a skill, and I was too bad at it, so I'm a poor wretch."
Grandpa Lin's lips twitched slightly. This kid was really something, but he also felt that it made a strange sense.
Lin Piaoxue's facial wounds were very painful, so painful that she almost groaned out loud, but no one cared about her injury, and she was filled with anger.
Lin Piaoxue suppressed her dissatisfaction and looked pitifully at Li Lin's father, saying, "Dad, give me some money. I need to go to the hospital to see a doctor about the injury on my face."
Lin's father went back to his room, took out one hundred yuan, and handed it to Lin Piaoxue.
"Dad, it's not like we're short of money. Why don't you give us more?" Lin Piaoxue said.
Lin Ming couldn't stand Lin Piaoxue's constant coveting of the family's money, and sneered, "Take it or leave it. Nobody owes you anything. Our family was vandalized by Lin Yu because of you."
“Lin Piaoxue, before you do anything, can you think about us first? We work from dawn till dusk, toiling in the fields all year round, and all we save is a little money, which you squander. My older brother is twenty-three years old and still doesn’t have money to get married. Because our parents love you, we don’t even dare to complain.”
“If Grandpa hadn’t come back and given us some money, our whole family would be starving. Your momentary lapse of judgment has not only harmed you but also dragged us down with you. Please, have some decency! I beg you, please stop hurting us. If you keep causing trouble, you’ll kill your mother.”
Seeing that the Lin family members were all looking at her expressionlessly, Lin Piaoxue stomped her foot and ran back to her room indignantly.
Lin Piaoxue was, after all, Grandpa Lin's granddaughter, and he couldn't ignore the injury on her face. He turned to Wei Hong and said, "Wei Hong, take Piaoxue to the hospital."
Grandpa Lin paused slightly at this point, then said, "Tell Lin Fu to take good care of Qinghuan."
Wei Hong had a good impression of Lin Qinghuan. He knew that Grandpa Lin was worried that Lin Piaoxue was still up to her old tricks and wanted to harm Lin Qinghuan again, so he solemnly replied, "Boss, I understand."
Uncle Lin glared at Father Lin and said, “Mother loves Qinghuan so much. If Qinghuan is killed by Lin Piaoxue, how will you explain it to Mother after you die?”
Lin Piaoxue changed her clothes and came out of the room. Wei Hong walked up to her and said indifferently, "The boss ordered me to drive you to the hospital."
Lin Piaoxue looked at Grandpa Lin and said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Grandpa Lin was also concerned about whether Lin Piaoxue was truly grateful to her, so he gave a soft "hmm" in acceptance of Lin Piaoxue's thanks.
After watching Lin Piaoxue and Wei Hong leave the courtyard, Lin's father turned to his eldest brother and asked, "Brother, I'm planning to buy a horse-drawn carriage and open a brick factory. Do you want to join me?"
