“Ridiculous!” Lin Sanniu was extremely filial to his parents, but he was very dignified around his wife and children. He would hit and scold them as he liked.
Lin Yuelan said coldly, “Uncle, you’re standing in front of my house and blocking me from entering. What are you trying to do?”
Lin Sanniu was not used to seeing his weak, and obedient eldest daughter suddenly becomes so sharp-tongued. However, it was his life’s belief that children should listen to their parents. Otherwisem it would be a great unfilial act. Therefore, in his eyes, Lin Yuelan was being very unfilial.
Lin Sanniu’s face darkened as he said in a deep voice, “I brought your mother, brother, and sister to see you today. Why are you ignoring your parents and family? Who taught you to be so uncultured?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuelan sneered and said sharply, “Uncle Lin, Is there something wrong with your brain? I’ve already said that I, Lin Yuelan, have no relatives since I cut off all ties with Lin Laosan’s family three years ago.
“The fact that you’ve brought your wife and children to my door to lecture me is the biggest joke in the world!”
Lin Sanniu’s face turned red and white.
Lin Sanniu pointed angrily at Lin Yuelan and said loudly, “your mother and I are the ones who gave birth to you! You can’t deny it! Also, you can’t deny that they’re your younger brother and sister!”
Chen Xiaoqing immediately cried and mobilized the two children. “Zu ‘Er, Ru ‘Er, greet your big sister!”
Lin Dazu was ten years old, so he was somewhat sensible. Lin Yueru was seven years old this year, so she followed her brother’s lead.
However, in Lao Laosan’s family, they were completely suppressed. Their character was just like Lin Yuelan’s in the past, weak and timid.
When they heard their mother, they only called out timidly, “big sister!”
All the work that Lin Yuelan had to do in Lin Laosan’s family was now on the shoulders of the Lin siblings,Lin Dazu and Lin Yueru. Lin Sanniu thought this was natural too.
They were his children, so they had to work.
Since she had cut off all ties with Lin Laosan’s family, it meant that Lin Yuelan had nothing to do with her former family anymore. No matter how pitiful they were, she would not sympathize with them. Lin Yuelan believed that everyone’s fate was in their own hands. She couldn’t help those who didn’t want to help themselves.
Lin Yuelan did not answer. She only looked at them coldly and asked expressionlessly, “Uncle Lin, why did you stop me? I’m very busy, and I don’t have time to waste with you.”
Lin Sanniu did not care about his eldest daughter in the past. No matter how her life was, it had nothing to do with him.
However, now that Lin Yuelan had money, they had to have a share of her money. This was what his mother, Li Cuihua, had told him.
Lin Sanniu stared at Lin Yuelan and said matter-of-factly, “Give me money to feed your family. That’s a total of 300 taels. You must pay by today!”
“Three hundred taels?” Lin Yuelan was not angry. Instead, she laughed and looked at Lin Sanniu mockingly. She asked sharply, “Uncle, are you joking with me? Also, why do I have to give you three hundred taels? Do you think I’m a sucker?”
Last time, Li Cuihua had asked for three hundred taels of child support for nine years, but she had been scared away by Lin Yuelan’s sharp mind.
But this time, Lin Sanniu came to demand she gives her family support money. Why would she be responsible for raising and supporting Lin Sanniu’s family?
What a greedy and shameless person!
When Lin Sanniu heard Lin Yuelan’s mocking tone, his face turned red, and he asked, “What? Do you think that just because you’ve cut off all ties with the Lin family, you don’t need to be filial to your parents?”
Lin Sanniu’s confidence was restored once he mentioned this.
He continued to speak loudly, “According to the law of the Long Yan Kingdom, no matter if the children are given out, sold, or cut off, as long as their parents ask for it, these children must be filial to their parents, take care of them, and support them. The parents can ask for money from their children at any time. So, Lin Yuelan, I’m here today to ask for the money you owe me.”
