Lin Tingzhen glanced at Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao with deep eyes, and said earnestly: "Da Lang, your grandfather sold his family property and moved to the village for your father's studies, but he still misses your family.
, I have redeemed all the houses in the clan. They are a bit dilapidated, but they can still be lived in after repairs. If you and Nan Zhi are not used to living in the village, just move back."
"Uncle Lao Zu has taken the trouble."
Lin Jinxiao glanced at Chu Nanzhi with a calm expression and replied calmly: "Our family lives quite well in the village."
Chu Nanzhi realized that the head of the Lin family was too attentive. It was rare for him to come to seek justice for himself and Lin Jinxiao today, but he actually wanted to return the ancestral property. This was really surprising.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
She also followed with a gentle look and replied: "What my husband said is that the ancestral home has already been mortgaged. There is no need for the uncle to be polite, just let his family live in it."
The most important thing at the moment is to clear up the relationship with the Chen family. As for the several broken houses, there will be no way to buy them with money in the future.
Lin Tingzhen sounded a little disappointed, and when he was about to persuade him again, Lin Jinxiao stopped him and said, "Uncle, there is no need to say anything more. My nephew does not ask for anything else today. I just hope that my uncle can handle the stepmother's matter impartially. I am already satisfied."
"sure."
Lin Tingzhen smiled and nodded, and saw Liu Qingbo leading a group of people in with heavy steps.
Liu Qingbo entered the room and only bowed with Liu Yun and his wife. Then he looked at Chu Nanzhi and his wife and said with a sullen face: "Dalang, Madam Chu, I brought this to you. Can you handle it fairly? This is
I will not interfere with your family affairs."
After saying that, he glanced fiercely at the elderly people sitting upright and sat to the side.
Liu Shuyang walked quickly to Chu Nanzhi with his backpack on his back. He put down his backpack and reported to her: "Sister, I got the rice, noodles, sesame oil and this salt shaker for you, but the old woman insisted that she didn't take them.
Those two pieces of jewelry of yours."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the safe salt shaker in her backpack and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She smiled warmly at Liu Shuyang and said, "It's good to have these things back. Thank you for your hard work. Go and rest nearby."
"good."
Liu Shuyang responded softly, glared at Chen and her daughter angrily, and then obediently walked to Liu Qingbo and sat down.
Mrs. Chen looked at the dark room full of people, her expression was gloomy for a while, she immediately covered up the panic in her heart, and began to curse in a feigned painful voice: "Chun Nanzhi, you bitch, why don't I get you some rice noodles?"
What's the matter with a broken jar? You alerted the clan leader and elders, and falsely accused me of stealing your jewelry. "
"Kneel down."
Before she could finish her words, Lin Yuan took the lead and stopped her with a scold.
Mrs. Chen was so frightened that her legs weakened and she immediately knelt down on the ground. Upon seeing this, Lin Jinyun and Qin Xianglian also suppressed the sullen expressions on their faces and knelt down aggrievedly.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
Mrs. Chen looked up with some fear at the patriarch and several elders sitting in the hall.
"You can't open the pot at home. You sneaked into your son's house to steal. If you stole some valuable things, you would still be considered promising. In order to order rice, flour, grains and oil, you are really embarrassed. Ting Shu's little reputation accumulated during his lifetime
I was completely thrown away by you."
Lin Yuan was angry and annoyed, but he carefully considered every word he spoke, making sure to make the matter as light as possible in order to achieve a preemptive effect.
"Uncle, we are really in trouble at home."
Mrs. Chen glared at Chu Nanzhi angrily, and replied in a depressed tone: "This bitch"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of Chu Wenbi's cane resounded loudly in the hall: "Ms. Chen, please speak more clearly. You are still a mother-in-law after all. A bitch who talks too much doesn't have any manners of an elder."
When Chu Wenbi shouted loudly, Mrs. Chen had to lower her posture, lowered her eyebrows and bowed her waist and complained: "Please listen to the clan leaders and elders. My son Jinhong was raped by Da Lang, a pair of heartless people.
The couple were sent to prison, and the family lost its backbone. Now I can only rely on Da Lang. I have raised him for more than ten years. Shouldn't he take care of the relationship between mother and son and watch me helplessly?
Is the whole family starving to death at home?”
"Pooh."
Lin Tingzhen bulged his eyes and cursed: "Don't mention that bastard Erlang to me anymore. You let him do evil in the village. If I hadn't been your guarantee today, would you and your daughter have been able to enter this house?"
He got angry when he mentioned this.
Looking around the three elders solemnly, he pursed his lips tightly and said decisively:
"Ms. Chen, I have discussed it with the elders of the clan. You, mother and son, have been running rampant in the countryside these past few years, doing whatever you want, disrupting the laws and refusing to change despite repeated admonitions. You have been discredited by the clan and cannot be tolerated by the clan rules. From today on, the three of you, mother and son
I will be expelled from the Lin family and will never be allowed to enter the Lin family tree again."
As soon as these words came out, the mother and daughter were so frightened that they burst into tears.
Lin Jinyun cried heartbreakingly and argued unconvincingly: "Uncle, why do you treat our family like this? You didn't ask the Chu woman for disobeying women's customs these years. She beat and scolded my mother and our sister-in-law.
It’s okay to ask, but to embarrass our mother and daughter over such a trivial matter, is there any justice?”
"How do you want me to interrogate what I heard?"
Lin Tingzhen stood up angrily and glared at the mother and daughter: "Catch the traitor and get the double, catch the thief and get the stolen goods. Someone saw your mother and your second brother breaking into the house and stealing. Could it be that someone has wronged you?"
After thinking about it, his eyes widened and his expression became even more angry: "You have been running to other people's houses to steal things again and again. Let alone beating you and scolding you, it would be an exaggeration if I killed you.
"
"Ting Zhen, don't be so serious."
Seeing that the momentum was not going well, Lin Yuan couldn't help but quickly interjected: "Even if the Chen family did it, it was just to take some grain, oil, rice and noodles, and it would not be expelled from the clan. As for Erlang, he has been jailed, so he can be considered a
After giving an explanation to the villagers, I think it is better to give the mother and daughter a chance to change things, but don’t hurt the mother-son relationship between him and Dalang."
"Yes, Dalang, you can't be without conscience."
Mrs. Chen rubbed her tearful eyes, looked at Lin Jinxiao miserably, and begged: "You were only five years old when your father passed away. If it weren't for your mother, how would you be today? Are you really going to get hurt because of this little thing?"
Has it affected our mother-son affection?"
"Mother-son affection?"
Lin Jinxiao sneered indifferently: "How can mother still be thinking about the love between mother and son at this time?"
He looked at Mrs. Chen disheartenedly, his eyes full of helplessness: "It was because of this mother-son affection that I foolishly believed in you and helped you. I got up early every day and went out to work late every day to support your family. I worked hard
I put the loose silver I earned in your hands, but even for a full meal, I have to rely on the gifts of Nie and Chang. Rather than saying that you have raised me for more than ten years, it is better to say that I have cooked for you for more than ten years.
Servant of the year.”
His heartfelt words made everyone in the hall shed tears.
