Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 305 - 304: What If I Hit You?

Lin Xia sneered, "Qian Chunli, dare to touch us today and see what happens! Do you want yourself or your family members to end up in the police station too?"

Lin Xia was not empty-handed, holding a half-meter-long iron rod in her hand.

She faced these people without fear, but she couldn’t just stand there and be hit.

If she kept hiding at home and never came out, it wouldn’t do either; it would seem as though they were guilt-ridden and afraid of these people.

After what had happened with Lin Qiang, she knew people tend to sympathize with the underdog.

Lin Qiu stood by Lin Xia’s side, looking at the people Qian Chunli had brought with her; she recognized them all, including her own brothers and her nephew.

Although she was very scared, she couldn’t show weakness now.

Qian Jiang’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw the change in Lin Xia and Lin Qiu; he had seen them before when he visited his aunt’s house.

How had they become so charming and attractive in just a few years?

Even though they were there today to settle scores on behalf of his aunt, he couldn’t help but take an interest in their striking appearance.

Qian Chunlei and Qian Chunsheng were also seeing Lin Xia and her sister for the first time in years and were equally surprised; they seemed completely transformed.

Hating that she couldn’t tear Lin Xia apart, Qian Chunli stopped in her tracks, standing two steps away and facing Lin Xia’s fearless demeanor.

"Lin Xia! What if I hit you? I’m your stepmother, it’s my right to discipline my stepdaughter, and no one can say anything!"

Lin Xia’s lips curled into a sneer, "Really? That’s not how it works now. You’re a criminal, accused of theft and attempted arson, mother. If you hit me, it would be sheer retaliation! I would definitely call the police and let the law protect me as a victim!"

Qian Chunli was so infuriated by Lin Xia’s clever argument that she almost exploded with rage, pointing at Lin Xia and yelling, "You’re still a victim? You’ve caused such a disaster for my Qiangzi! Ten years in prison! Lin Xia! How can you sleep at night!" She regretted not being ruthless enough back then.

Back when Lin Xia and her group hadn’t fully matured, she should have crippled them all one by one; it would have been better than seeing her son end up in such a state.

Lin Xia coldly tilted her head and said, "Why shouldn’t I sleep well? I haven’t done anything wrong! If he hadn’t tried to steal and set a fire, would anyone have arrested him for no reason?

As for how long he’s sentenced, that’s up to the government. If you think it’s unfair, go argue with them!"

She knew very well how many people thought their sentences were too harsh or unjust; those who complained usually ended up with even longer sentences, or even a death penalty in some cases.

Qian Chunli was so angry she almost vomited blood; how could she not want to appeal?

It was because she had heard that the sentences got even harsher for those who appealed, which deterred her from doing so.

Lin Yu also told her that it was good luck they got less of a sentence because they knew someone.

The Qian brothers, Chunlei and Chunsheng, were infuriated by Lin Xia’s arrogance, and they really wanted to beat her up.

But given the current special circumstances, with elderly parents and young children at home, they feared ending up behind bars. Moreover, since Lin Xia was a woman, if she went all out and accused them of a heinous crime, they could end up facing a firing squad.

Qian Jiang glared darkly at Lin Xia and her sister. His clenched fists revealed how furious he was, but like Qian Chunlei and the others, he had to hold back for the time being.

Qian Chunli, surrounded on all sides by so many people, realized she couldn’t outtalk Lin Xia and was scared Lin Xia might really go all out and sue her.

Overwhelmed by grief, she suddenly sat down on the ground and started crying loudly, while accusing, "Lin Xia! Your heart is so cruel! Even if my son was wrong to bother you, you didn’t have to be so heartless!

Everyone has a heart, why couldn’t you have shown him some pity? I almost knelt down and begged you that day, and you were still unmoved..."

"He was sentenced to ten years! You don’t have any sympathy at all! Even if you hate us, we are still a family..."

Qian Chunli cried with extraordinary sorrow, invoking deep sympathy in those who heard her.

The neighbors who came out to watch the commotion in Lin Xia’s front and back yards also felt that she was rather pitiable.

Lin Xia looked at Qian Chunli’s tearful performance and sneered inwardly. Who couldn’t seek sympathy?

Moreover, just revealing a few things about their family could tarnish Qian Chunli’s reputation. Lin Xia mustered her emotions; she, too, prepared to give a tearful performance.

Unexpectedly, Lin Aiguo suddenly appeared!

He glared at Qian Chunli, who was sobbing on the ground, and barked angrily, "Stop howling!"

He had felt something was off with Qian Chunli when he left for work this morning, especially since Lin Qiang had been sentenced to ten years, and he knew she had no heart for work.

Now living under the same roof, they each slept in separate rooms.

But this morning, when she suddenly started washing her face and getting ready, he felt something was wrong, but since he was running late for work, he did not question her.

Lingering thoughts at the office made him even more suspicious. Considering Qian Chunli’s current hatred toward him and Lin Xia, was she planning to confront Lin Xia? freēwēbηovel.c૦m

So, he found someone to cover for him and hastily came here.

"Lin Aiguo..." Qian Chunli had not expected Lin Aiguo to suddenly appear here.

"Qian Chunli! From now on, we are no longer a family! We’re going to get the divorce procedures started immediately!" Years ago, Qian Chunli had transferred her and her children’s household registrations to his, and they had officially married.

Lin Aiguo had previously contemplated divorcing Qian Chunli, but after learning Lin Qiang had been sentenced to ten years, he had felt a pang of compassion and guilt and thought it wasn’t the time to mention divorce. Yet seeing her create such a scene, he was infuriated to the point of wanting nothing to do with her right away.

Qian Chunli immediately panicked. She did not care how many people were around; she quickly got up and rushed over to Lin Aiguo.

"I won’t divorce! Lin Aiguo, I do not agree! What right do you have to divorce me!"

Where would she go if Lin Aiguo divorced her at this time?

Their household registrations had changed from rural to non-rural; could they possibly change back?

Lin Aiguo coldly looked at her and said, "It’s because of the wrongdoings of your son and daughter! It was you who wanted to harm Lin Xia and her family. In the end, you were sentenced, but here you are making a scene at my daughter’s place! You’ve been nothing but trouble for them all these years..."

The sudden turn of events surprised not only the onlookers but also Lin Xia and Lin Qiu, who were stunned by Lin Aiguo’s unexpected appearance and the announcement of a divorce.

Lin Xia knew that, after all that had happened, Lin Aiguo and Qian Chunli were no longer harmonious like in the past.

There were too many barriers between them.

Even so, she had never imagined that one day Lin Aiguo would want to divorce Qian Chunli.

Qian Jiang and Qian Chunlei, the brothers, were also dumbfounded. They were actually quite dissatisfied with Lin Aiguo.

Having learned about the cause and effect of the events, it was indeed Lin Aiguo who had beaten Lin Yu, which had led Lin Qiang to seek revenge for Lin Yu, and that had led to everything that followed.

But none of them had ever thought that Lin Aiguo would actually end up wanting to abandon Qian Chunli.
