Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 213: Dividing the Family and Marrying a Widow
The team leader rubbed his temples and sighed, "Li Lian, this is ultimately a family matter of yours, but I still have to say something fair. If you can’t live together anymore, then get divorced. Everyone is tired of this constant quarrel."
"Who said I’m not getting a divorce? Since the team leader is here as a witness, I’m telling you, Li Lian agrees to the divorce, but Lin Zhi must leave with nothing!" Li Lian said forcefully.
Everyone exchanged looks, knowing without doubt that Lin Zhi would definitely disagree.
Li Lian continued, "We only have these few rundown houses, all the other money was squandered by Jianguo. The money to pull strings for Lin Zhi when he was in prison is borrowed. Aside from the houses and fields, there’s nothing valuable in this household. If he doesn’t agree to leave with nothing, then he can pay off those debts himself, but don’t expect my son to pay for them."
Lin Jianqiang nodded sternly, "The house and land were meant for me anyway. If he’s unwilling to share it with me, I don’t have to take it, but he has to pay back the money borrowed to help him pull strings."
"In your dreams!" Lin Zhi gritted his teeth, spitting out each word.
Lin Jianqiang chuckled, "If you’re unwilling, we can go to court. I can seek justice for my mom and myself."
The team leader saw the ugly fight and had to intervene to ease the tension, "Alright, alright, we understand the situation now. Lin Zhi, I have to say you’ve handled this poorly. If you want a divorce, then get a divorce, but the house should indeed go to Jianqiang. He used the house-building money to help you with those connections when you got into trouble.
If this goes to court, you really can’t win. I’d say, transfer the house under Jianqiang’s name. Jianqiang, even though your dad handled things poorly, without any assets, how is he supposed to make a living in the future?
Anyway, you and your wife are both working, and your mom is farming the land. Maybe give the fields to your dad, so he has some way to make money, right? You don’t want him constantly asking you for money!"
Lin Jianqiang immediately shook his head, "Team leader, I have to support my family. I can give him a meal, but no money."
Lying on the ground, Lin Zhi spat out bloody saliva in anger. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"There’s still money!"
He shouted through gritted teeth.
The team leader looked at Li Lian.
Li Lian sneered, "What money? He hasn’t earned a single penny for this family during his years in prison. The money to pull strings was all borrowed. Now, the family’s money is all earned by me. Want a share of my money? Over my dead body!"
The team leader felt his face heat up with embarrassment and glared at Lin Zhi angrily, "Your wife has made herself clear; it’s shameful for a grown man to grab money from a woman!
I assume you weren’t aware of this situation, but now that it’s all laid out, let’s do it this way. Go to the village committee tomorrow to sort out the transfer and get the divorce certificate. Do what needs to be done, and don’t cause any more trouble."
Lin Zhi was unwilling, but with the team leader and the villagers present, unless he didn’t want the divorce anymore, he had to go along with this plan.
Thinking of the alluring young widow and her cute little son, his heart began to flutter with life again.
Impulsively, he went with Lin Jianqiang and Li Lian to the village committee to transfer the house to Lin Jianqiang, then dragged Li Lian to the city to finalize the divorce.
Once the divorce papers were in his hands, he hurried to pick up the widow from her family.
As soon as Lin Zhi left, Lin Jianqiang threw his belongings out of the house and went to the city to buy two heavy iron gates, changing the courtyard and front doors along with the locks.
The villagers watched coldly, seeing clearly that Lin Jianqiang harbored deep hatred for Lin Zhi.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhi indulged in the joy of soon winning the beauty and eagerly arrived at Liu Chunzhi’s house to find she was out with the child, forcing him to wait at home.
At the same time, Liu Chunzhi, who was fooling around with another man next door, heard the commotion, quickly tidied up, dressed, and slipped away with her child over the back wall.
A while later, she appeared in front of Lin Zhi as if nothing had happened.
"Why are you here suddenly? Did your tiger of a wife agree to the divorce?" Liu Chunzhi threw him a flirtatious glance.
Lin Zhi was totally captivated, staring at Liu Chunzhi’s chest with lust, "Would I be here if she didn’t agree? I only lost the house, but the fields are still mine. We’ll live at your place, and I’ll give you and the child a name!"
"Get lost!" Liu Chunzhi playfully pushed Lin Zhi, pouting, "Even though I gave birth to your son, I can’t just follow you like that. You have to marry me properly!"
Lin Zhi’s expression changed, but he laughed slyly, "What’s between us is already solid! Why bother with formalities? Don’t worry. As long as you’re with me, I can take care of you and our son."
Liu Chunzhi immediately realized Lin Yi’s terms had changed, and her face sank, "Lin Zhi, what’s this about? You said your brother, with no son and lots of money, would leave everything to you, that you’d marry me with a thousand bucks, or I would never have followed you and certainly wouldn’t have given you a son.
Now that it’s done, are you going to turn your back on me? There’s no such good deal in this world!"
Seeing Liu Chunzhi’s anger, Lin Zhi quickly smiled apologetically, "Who said I’m breaking my promise? It’s just that I haven’t seen my brother yet! You know his situation; he only has two married daughters. Everything left over will go to our son, right?"
Liu Chunzhi’s face softened slightly, but she still looked discontent, "What you said is just that broken house in the village and a few fields. What about the rest? Will he really leave them to our son?"
"Rest assured, as long as I’m here, nothing will slip through!"
Seeing Liu Chunzhi smile again, Lin Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Pulling her toward the house.
Liu Chunzhi placed the child in the cradle, half-heartedly resisting but eventually complying.
After their intimacy, she snuggled against Lin Zhi, whining, "My parents said, no thousand bucks, no go with you. So just bring the money over quickly. If you’re late, they might marry me off to someone else."
"You’ve already given me a son; how can you marry someone else!" Lin Zhi was instantly furious.
Liu Chunzhi pouted, "Who told you not to pay the bride price!"
Lin Zhi’s arrogance instantly diminished, scheming how to scrape together the thousand bucks.
Realizing Lin Yi’s ruthlessness, asking him for money was clearly unrealistic; he didn’t even know which way Lin Qin’s house faced, so making a fuss wouldn’t get him the money, and as for their son, he couldn’t be counted on either. That debt collector nearly beat him to death yesterday.
Thinking about yesterday, the pain in his body flared again.
The villagers weren’t likely to lend him money, either. After much thought, selling the land was his only option.
So, after returning to the village, Lin Zhi immediately began arranging to sell the land.
Li Lian was simply furious upon discovering this, about to rush out to confront Lin Zhi, only to be stopped by her daughter-in-law, "Mom, have you lost your mind? You’re divorced from Dad, you’re not family anymore, you shouldn’t care about his business!"
Li Lian stood frozen.
In the end, she did not leave that door.
