Just then, someone suddenly rushed out of the house.
They charged straight toward Lin Qiaoyun.
“You little bitch! How dare you steal my admission notice! Give it back to me!
“Grandma, she stole my admission notice! Without it, how am I supposed to attend high school? How am I supposed to get married?”
Lin Qiaofeng had just returned from her aunt’s house after meeting a potential match.
The other party had only agreed to consider her because she was going to attend high school.
So the moment she got home, she went to look for her admission notice.
After searching everywhere and failing to find it, she also discovered that the money she had secretly hidden was gone.
The first person she suspected was Lin Qiaoyun.
The moment Lin Qiaoyun saw her rushing over, she kicked her away without hesitation.
She might not be able to hit the older generation, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t hit the younger ones.
Bang!
Lin Qiaofeng crashed to the ground and couldn’t get back up.
Only then did First Aunt Liu Dani, who had been watching the show from the side, react.
“Oh my, my Feng’er! Are you alright?
“You damned little bitch! That’s your cousin! How could you hit her like that?”
“First Aunt, that’s a funny thing to say. Once people start fighting, who cares whether they’re cousins or not? We can talk about family afterward.”
“You…”
When Wang Chunhua saw her favorite granddaughter get beaten—
“Aaaah!”
She charged at Lin Qiaoyun like a raging bull.
Lin Qiaoyun immediately grabbed First Aunt Liu Dani and pulled her into the path of Wang Chunhua.
The two women weighed about the same.
The result of that collision was easy to imagine.
Bang!
Both of them ended up flat on the ground.
Liu Dani rubbed her aching head and shouted,
“Lin Youde! Are you dead? Can’t you see your wife has been beaten?”
“Uh… well… wife… this is between my mother and them. It’s not really appropriate for a man to get involved…”
“Then go beat Lin Youshui!”
Wang Chunhua immediately shouted,
“Eldest Son! Go teach Second Son a lesson!”
Lin Qiaoyun smiled.
“First Uncle, you’d better not lay a hand on him. If you do, I’ll be taking revenge for my father.”
At that moment, Lin Qiaoyun was thinking:
Come on.
Hit him.
Hurry up and do it.
That way I’ll have a reason to make my move.
Lying on the ground, Wang Chunhua shouted,
“Fugui! Fusheng! Go teach that little bitch a lesson! Beat her to death or cripple her, I don’t care!”
Wang Chunhua had completely lost her mind.
She actually ordered her grandsons to attack her granddaughter.
“Eldest Cousin, Second Cousin, are you going to hit me too?
“If that’s the case, then we can forget about being family from now on.”
Lin Fugui said,
“Qiaoyun, apologize properly to Grandma, and we won’t touch you.”
“Eldest Cousin, do you really think an apology will solve anything at this point?”
Lin Fugui looked at his grandmother, mother, and younger sister lying on the ground.
He knew there was no peaceful way to settle things today.
He walked over to Lin Qiaoyun and reached out, intending to grab her.
Instead, Lin Qiaoyun seized his arm and threw him over her shoulder.
“Heh…”
Smack!
Before Lin Fugui even realized what had happened, he was already lying on the ground.
The throw left him completely dazed.
He had no idea how he ended up there.
The villagers watching from the sidelines immediately started applauding.
“Well done, Lin Qiaoyun!”
Lin Qiaoyun wasn’t embarrassed in the slightest.
She even clasped her hands toward the crowd.
“Sorry for letting everyone witness such a scene.
“Please be my witnesses. My eldest cousin was the one who tried to hit me first.
“I was only defending myself.”
A villager immediately replied,
“No problem. We’ll testify for you.”
The crowd burst into laughter.
One of the village aunties said,
“I never knew Lin Qiaoyun was this capable. If I’d known earlier, I would’ve arranged for my grandson to marry her long ago.
“The Zhao family really got lucky.
“It’s a shame such a good girl has to become a living widow. That old hag Wang Chunhua really isn’t human.”
“Exactly.”
While the villagers were discussing Lin Qiaoyun—
Lin Fusheng also rushed forward to attack her.
He ended up getting thrown down as well.
Then even Lin Fugui’s wife, Xiaocao, charged forward with her eyes closed to attack Lin Qiaoyun.
She received an over-the-shoulder throw too.
At this point, only Old Master Lin and Lin Youfu’s family were still standing.
“Third Son…”
“Mom, please spare me. I’m not getting involved in this.”
Meanwhile, Lin Youshui was thoroughly enjoying the show.
“Holy crap! My daughter wasn’t raised for nothing! She’s actually this amazing!
“This must have been taught by my son-in-law, right?”
The moment Lin Youshui saw those moves, he immediately found an explanation for them.
Who else could be that capable besides his son-in-law?
That shoulder throw was obviously something soldiers learned in the military.
“That’s right, Dad. My husband taught me.”
Lin Qiaoyun lied without even blinking.
When Wang Chunhua saw that her side was practically wiped out, she struggled to her feet and prepared to continue fighting.
“What are you doing? What’s going on here?”
The village chief and the village secretary of Guyun Village had arrived.
Village Chief Lin Dajun and Secretary Zhou Qiming were both retired soldiers.
They carried tremendous authority in the village.
Nobody dared to cause trouble in front of them.
Wang Chunhua had just opened her mouth to cry about her grievances.
But Lin Youshui beat her to it.
“Village Chief! Secretary!
“You have to stand up for me!
“I can’t live like this anymore!
“My family of three is being bullied to death!
“Why is it so hard to be a human being?
“Just because I can’t produce a son, do I deserve this kind of treatment?
“Heavens above! Open your eyes and take a look!”
A grown man like Lin Youshui sat down on the ground and immediately launched into a dramatic performance.
Wang Chunhua couldn’t even get a chance to begin her own act.
Lin Dajun looked at him and wanted to kick him.
It was absolutely disgusting.
This trick had been taught to him by his daughter.
His daughter had promised that if he performed well today and successfully separated himself from the Lin family, she would buy him a pack of cigarettes every week after they moved into the Zhao family home.
For the sake of those cigarettes, forget complaining.
He was willing to throw tantrums, roll around on the ground, and shamelessly make a scene if that was what it took.
“Everyone go home and rest.
“Double-harvest season starts tomorrow.
“Stop standing around watching the excitement.”
Secretary Zhou Qiming began dispersing the crowd.
Wang Chunhua immediately cried out,
“Village Chief! Secretary! You have to stand up for me!
“Lin Youshui is unfilial!”
Zhou Qiming replied,
“Enough.
“I already know what’s going on.
“Your son wants to go live with his daughter. Isn’t that perfectly normal?
“It’s not like he’s refusing to support you.
“Why are you insisting on keeping him here?
“When he gets old, are you as his parents going to support him yourselves?
“You just need to agree on the terms of supporting you in old age.
“Lin Youshui doesn’t have any sons.
“The fact that his daughter and son-in-law are willing to support him and his wife is a good thing.
“What exactly are you making such a fuss about?
“He doesn’t even have any property.
“He isn’t taking the house either.
“What else is there to argue about?”
“He’s my son! He should stay by my side so I can see him every day!”
“You’re not short on sons.
“Besides, you all live in the same village. You can see him whenever you want.
“Lin Youshui, how do you plan to support your parents in their old age?”
“Secretary, however everyone else supports their parents, I’ll do the same.
“We don’t want the family’s grain.
“We don’t want the house.
“As for money…” he scratched his head. “Secretary, I don’t even have a single cent. I already handed everything over to Mom.
“But if I ever earn money in the future, I’ll give my parents ten yuan a year for their support.”
Wang Chunhua immediately shouted,
“What can ten yuan a year even do?”
“Oh, then forget I said it.
“Because I don’t even have ten yuan.”
“You unfilial son!”
“How am I unfilial?
“At least I handed over everything I earned.
“I never kept a single cent for myself.
“I’d like to earn more money too.
“But there aren’t any money-making jobs in the production team.”
“That’s because you’re useless!”
“Fine, I’m useless.
“You didn’t send me to school.
“You didn’t find me a job.
“Even my wife was someone I picked up myself from outside.
“What use could I possibly be?
“All I’ve got is some strength, so all I can do is farm.”
