“You sweet-talking girl, after such a long time, how come you’ve gotten thinner again?” But her eyes seemed even keener now.

The old village chief patted Lin Yuan’s head with a smile, the very picture of a grandfather doting on his granddaughter.

Lin Jianling, standing to the side, felt his cheeks burn with shame as he listened to Lin Yuan call a stranger ‘grandfather’ more intimately than she called her own father.

He found the sight before him particularly embarrassing.

However, as the head of the family, he could not stay silent. ƒreewebɳovel.com

He feigned a throat-clearing and approached the village chief, stuttering slightly, “Sixth Uncle, this, um, my Second brother Lin wants to divide the family, so today we need to trouble you to come over and bear witness for us.”

In the village, the village chief was the eldest of the senior residents, and even Lin Jianling had to respectfully address him as Sixth Uncle, although this show of respect didn’t earn him much favor from the village chief.

“Is it Second brother Lin who wants to separate the family?” The village chief’s eyes, though somewhat cloudy, were still sharp and piercing, “Back when Laosan’s house gave birth to Xiao Linshuang, you all forced him to divorce his wife, pushing him to move his whole family into this run-down house.

Now that he’s crippled, you’re saying he wants to separate?

Have you forced him to divorce again, or have you pushed him to sell his daughter?

Huh!”

The old village chief’s words indicated that he was well aware of the deeds Lin Jiaxiao had done yesterday, and the crowd gathered at the door started to get noisy.

Lin Yuan saw Lin Ershuan and Sister-in-law Guizhi, along with Lan Hua’s mother, Aunt Wang, who had obviously heard about their intention to divide the family and had hurried over, fearing that their family would get the short end of the stick.

At the moment, these people were loudly recounting Lin Jiaxiao’s deeds.

Though Lin Yuan bore the reputation of being a Little Disaster Star, the goodwill of Lin Jiaxin’s couple was also unquestionable; therefore, aside from these few, there were quite a few sympathizers for their family.

Lin Jianling glared fiercely at his own younger brother before quickly forcing a smile to explain to the village chief, “Sixth Uncle, I know that what my Third brother has done is wrong, but he did it to lessen the burden on Second brother’s family.

However, the matter of dividing the family today was indeed brought up by Second brother himself.

If you don’t believe it, you can ask Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan, why don’t you quickly tell your village chief grandfather what’s going on.”

Lin Yuan sneered inwardly but nodded her head, “Village chief grandfather, my father’s leg is injured, he can’t work.

Our family doesn’t have land to farm, no food to eat, and no silver to treat my father’s leg.

We, we, have no choice but to separate.”

As Lin Yuan spoke these words, her eyes slowly reddened.

Although much of it was an act, there was genuine indignation in her heart.

Perhaps this was the bond of blood calling out, how could she not feel heartache as a daughter seeing her own parents so helpless?

However, Lin Yuan’s words of misery and helplessness won over even more sympathy.

“Girl, if your family is having such a hard time, why don’t you ask your grandparents for food and silver?

And now you’re clamoring to divide the family, isn’t that foolish?” Aunt Wang’s rough yet warm hands wiped away the tears on Lin Yuan’s face, and she felt a warmth in her heart.

“We, we…” Lin Yuan bit her lip stubbornly, shaking her head without speaking.

On the side, Lin Wei, seeing her older sister like this, also started to weep, while Xiao Linshuang burst into loud cries, “Auntie, my grandparents, they won’t give it to us, they don’t care about us anymore.”

“Little girl, don’t talk nonsense!” Lin Jiaxiao, not expecting her to say such things, glared with both eyes, frighteningly ready to raise his hand, but Xiao Linshuang quickly shut her mouth and burrowed into Aunt Wang’s arms in fear, which only further corroborated what she had just said, that the Lin family was unwilling to shoulder the burden of this family, forcing them to request the separation themselves!

Aunt Wang’s eyes also reddened, and some of the soft-hearted sisters-in-law at the door began to dab at their eyes as well.

“Village chief grandfather, my grandparents said they would give us a piece of land when we divide the family.

With land, we’ll have food to eat.

Grandfather, please let us separate, I beg you.” Lin Yuan tugged pitifully at the old village chief’s sleeve, her slight but weighty words achieving unprecedented effect.

“What, they’ll give a piece of land just for dividing the family?

Is this how you treat beggars?”

“The land of the Lin family is quite vast.

I used to help with work there because Second brother Lin couldn’t manage it alone.”

“Exactly, of the three sons, only Second brother Lin knows how to work the land.

Now they are forcing his family to divide, and they are only offering them a piece of land; that’s really heartless!”
