Ever since returning home, Lin Feizhou had been keeping his temper in check. But now, with this sudden outburst, the ruthless ferocity honed on the battlefield was fully unleashed!
Not only were Lin Daniu and Lin Erniu frightened, even Lin Laogen was stunned by the sudden eruption of anger from his youngest son!
"Gou Sheng, what do you mean by this? Your parents are still alive! Who are you trying to intimidate?"
If it were the old Lin Feizhou, hearing Lin Laogen say this would have made him let the matter slide gently.
But the current Lin Feizhou had long since sharpened his wits in the army and wasn’t so easily fooled!
"Father, I’d like to ask you too—are only Big Brother and Second Brother your real sons? Am I just some child you picked up from the roadside?"
He had long wanted to ask this question but had held back to maintain a superficial peace.
He could endure some grievances in the Lin Family, but his Ting Yue and their child could not!
His wife, whom he cherished dearly, had just risked her life to give birth to Fubao. How could his parents treat her like this?!
He had seen how his eldest and second sisters-in-law were treated when they gave birth—his mother hadn’t acted like this back then!
Was it because they looked down on Ting Yue?!
No, this was clearly because they looked down on him, their youngest son!
"If you think I’m unfilial, then while I’m back on leave this time, let’s just split the family outright!"
After saying this, Lin Feizhou turned and walked back to his room without looking back.
Yue Hongmei chased after him, and when she saw the chicken meat scattered on the ground, she angrily slapped her thigh.
"What a sin! That short-lived brat is wasting good food like this. That fox spirit He Tingyue deserves to eat chicken? I hope she chokes on it, that cheap bone!"
Yue Hongmei usually scolded He Tingyue as casually as eating or drinking, so she instinctively cursed out loud this time. However, she was met with a fierce glare from Lin Laogen.
If it weren’t for the fact that both sons and their wives were present, he would have slapped Yue Hongmei across the face!
This fool was utterly stupid—she couldn’t even put on a show!
If Gou Sheng wanted his wife to have some chicken soup, they could have just given her a little broth. Wouldn’t the meat still be theirs to eat?!
Now, look at this—no one gets to eat it!
Lin Erniu stared at the chicken meat covered in dirt on the ground and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. In contrast, Chu Yu’s expression darkened.
She hadn’t expected Lin Feizhou to suggest splitting the family for He Tingyue’s sake!
If the family were really split, relying on this bunch of lazy, scheming fools in the Lin Family, how could she possibly enjoy the comfortable life she had now?
Before Chu Yu and the others could even recover from the shock of Lin Feizhou overturning the dinner table, he had already returned with a pile of tattered clothes!
"The Cloth Coupon I gave my wife would be enough to make ten new outfits. Whoever wants these rags can have them! Whoever used my wife’s Cloth Coupon better cough it up!
Otherwise, I’ll go to town and ask Secretary Cui what it means when an educated youth sent to the countryside neither works in the fields to earn work points nor stays at the Educated Youth Point, but instead leeches off our family, eating my food and using my things. Am I Lin Feizhou supposed to be her father?"
Listening through the door to Lin Feizhou’s aggressive words, He Tingyue wished she could give him a round of applause.
But deep down, she knew this was just venting—nothing more than empty words…
After all, the weight of filial piety still pressed upon the couple!
It seemed they really needed to think carefully about how to let everyone in Fengmu Brigade know that Lin Feizhou was not a child of the Lin Family at all…
He Tingyue was lost in thought when Lin Feizhou walked in with a dark expression.
Seeing his wife's somewhat unfocused gaze, he thought she was heartbroken by Yue Hongmei's actions, and his guilt deepened even more.
"Ting Yue, I'm sorry."
He clearly knew what kind of people his parents were, yet after getting married, he still left his wife alone in the quagmire that was the Lin Family.
"Don't worry, even if you don’t want to follow me to the army, I’ll do my best to move out and live separately. I won’t let you suffer any grievances!"
Before He Tingyue could react to his words, Little Lucky Treasure giggled as if she understood Lin Feizhou’s promise.
He Tingyue couldn’t help but look curiously at her daughter in her arms. After all, in her past life, her Little Lucky Treasure had never laughed.
Back then, the child had been completely dull and listless, as if her soul had been drained away…
Thinking of a drained soul reminded her of the locust tree she had personally burned to death, and the warmth that had just risen in her heart instantly vanished.
Seeing her in low spirits, Lin Feizhou tried to comfort her, "I’ll go to town tonight to find Han Ping and bring back something delicious for you?"
He had come to a realization: since he couldn’t rely on his parents, he would simply set up his own stove and cook for He Tingyue himself.
After all, this time he had taken all the annual leave he had saved up over the years—nearly two months—which was more than enough to properly care for his wife during her postpartum recovery.
Besides, Lin Feizhou had been responsible for cooking at home since he was young and had long honed excellent culinary skills.
Hearing his words, He Tingyue genuinely felt a craving!
"I want to eat the minced meat noodles you make."
Back when they were dating, Lin Feizhou had often cooked special meals for her at the Educated Youth Point. Even after living a second life, the memory of that flavor remained deeply ingrained in her mind.
Seeing his wife finally showing some liveliness, Lin Feizhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the other side of the Lin Family was far from pleasant.
After all, Lin Feizhou had practically pointed his finger and scolded Chu Yu to her face just moments ago!
To be honest, not only Lin Feizhou but even Lin Daniu and Lin Erniu felt that their parents were probably growing senile.
They treated a sent-down educated youth better than their own biological sons!
Did they really expect an outsider to support them in their old age?
However, the two brothers had always kept these thoughts to themselves, intimidated by Lin Laogen’s authority. Today, Lin Feizhou’s outburst had actually played right into their hands.
By now, Chu Yu’s eyes were swollen from crying. She already had puffy eyes, and after all the weeping, they were nearly shut, leaving barely a slit visible. Even Lin Laogen, her own father, couldn’t bear to look and subtly averted his gaze.
Instead, Yue Hongmei, her heart aching, hugged Chu Yu, comforting her softly.
Chu Yu looked at the brand-new clothes she was wearing and absolutely couldn’t bear to give them to He Tingyue.
She was already unattractive to begin with—without these clothes to enhance her appearance, no one would like her even more!
"These clothes… I’ve already worn them. How can I give them to Third Sister-in-law? Even if she doesn’t mind, I’d feel too guilty… wuwuwu…"
Regardless of whether He Tingyue would look down on it, once something was in Chu Yu's hands, she would never let it go!
Listening to her pitiful words, Yue Hongmei grew even more resentful toward He Tingyue!
However, recalling the words of the sorceress, she glanced discreetly at Lin Laogen.
Lin Laogen clearly had the same thought. He stood up, returned to the room, and soon left the house with a piece of red paper in hand…
