253: Taking Back the Ancestral Home and Getting Rid of the Scar

Taking Back the Ancestral Home and Getting Rid of the Scar

After Lin Sanniu returned to the Lin family empty-handed with his wife and child, he was immediately greeted with a round of scolding from Li Cuihua.2

"You useless thing," Li Cuihua pointed at Lin Sanniu's nose and scolded, "I should have just strangled you to death when you were born. Why are you so useless? You didn't even get a single copper back. How are you going to feed the bastards and bitches of your family then?"

Lin Sanniu's wife and children were so scared that they hid behind him, not even daring to show their heads.

"Why are you hiding?" Li Cuihua was so angry that she picked up a broom from the corner of the door and hit Chen Xiaoqing and the two children. "Useless things. You'll only be a waste of our Lin family's food if you're alive. I'd rather kill you."

Chen Xiaoqing and the two children knew that Li Cuihua was coming, but they did not dare to dodge it. They let Li Cuihua hit them. They didn't dare to cry too loudly either.

Lin Sanniu remained unmoved as he watched his wife and child being beaten and scolded by his own mother for no reason. His expression was numb as if everything was normal.

The three other siblings and their wives stood to the side and watched. Instead, they enjoyed this punishment. Their expressions showed that they were blaming Lin Sanniu and his wife for being so stupid that they could not even get money from their daughter.

That bitch, Lin Yuelan, got everything.

Zhou Guixiang looked at Chen Xiaoqing and the rest, who were crying pitifully. She had no sympathy for them at all. She secretly pouted. Then, she turned to Lin Sanniu, who was standing by the side like a wooden block. "Third younger brother, it's not that I want to criticize you, but look at your daughter. Other children will give their parents money when they earn some. But your Lan 'Er is the complete opposite. Let's not talk about the 300 taels of silver she got from selling that big tiger. We didn't see the shadow a single silver. She even framed her grandmother and uncle for stealing money, causing them to suffer such a great grievance. Mother and Brother don't blame you for this.

"But now, that girl had sold ginseng for a thousand taels of silver. You were told to get 300 taels of silver as family support, but you couldn't even do that.

"Third brother, this is your fault.

"No matter what, that wretched girl is your daughter. It's only right for a daughter to support her parents. What are you afraid of? How could you return empty-handed?"

Zhou Guixiang was a shit-stirrer in Lin Laosan's family. She would start trouble whenever she had the chance. Her favorite target was Lin Sanniu's family. Even if it were a small matter, she would make it so much bigger than it was necessary. The consequence was that Lin Sanniu's family would have to suffer even more scolding and beatings from Li Cuihua.

It could be said that 60% of the disaster that Lin Sanniu's family had suffered was caused by Zhou Guixiang's instigation.

However, Lin Sanniu was a foolish and filial person. He was very respectful to his brother and sister-in-law. As for Chen Xiaoqing, she only knew how to follow her husband's lead.

The reason why Zhou Guixiang disliked Lin Sanniu's family was that she only had three daughters and no sons. On the other hand, Lin Sanniu had a son and daughter. When she saw Lin Sanniu's status lower in the family, she was very happy.

After all was said and done, this was just jealousy at work.

With the fanning from Zhou Guixiang, Li Cuihua picked up the broom and hit Lin Sanniu's wife and children even harder. She scolded as she hit them, "I'll beat you ingrates to death! The Lin family raised you all for so long, and this is how you repay us!"

Li Cuihua seemed to be venting her hatred for Lin Yuelan on Chen Xiaoqing and her two children.

Lin Dazu's expression was numb as he endured the beating. However, he lowered his eyes to hide his great resentment. But...

'Lin Yuelan, why didn't you give your money to grandma? Instead, you let me suffer her beating. Lin Yuelan, I hate you.'

After Li Cuihua beat and scolded Chen Xiaoqing and the rest, she immediately turned to Lin Sanniu and scolded, "Useless thing! If you can't get the money, leave the house with your bastard family!"
