Chapter 45 - 45 I will Help You
45 I will Help You
“Dear all, please uphold justice for us. Help my mother be independent and receive my father’s inheritance! My father is dead and the Lin family refuses to house us, so we no longer have anything to do with the Lin family!” She respectfully kowtowed to the village chief.
Everyone immediately began to talk.
In this case, some people heard that a widow with a son could indeed leave her late husband’s household.
However, most people would not choose to do so. After all, life for a woman with a child was difficult.
However, if they stayed in the Lin family, they might be tortured to death.
“I…” The village chief looked troubled. Daishi Village had more than two hundred years of history, but there was no woman without a family.
“Please…they won’t let us live…” Liu Shi turned around and begged the village chief.
“Sir, I beg you!” At this moment, Lin Xiaozhi, who was held by Aunt Wang, also ran out and knelt beside his mother, kowtowing to the village chief.
Seeing this, everyone felt sad. Some women even cried.
The village chief’s heart softened. “Quickly help your mother up,” he said gently to Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Xiaozhi.
Lin Xiaoyue stood up and helped Lin Xiaozhi up. Then, they helped their mother up.
However, Liu Shi refused.
“Please… please have mercy on us…” Liu Shi’s kowtowing slowed down, as if she would faint at any moment.
Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Xiao looked at the village chief pitifully.
“Aih…” the village chief sighed.
“Get up. I’ll help you,” he finally said.
It was not good to have a female household, but if he refused, they would not survive.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up. “Mom, get up!” She quickly went to help her mother up.
After thanking him, she stood up.
The moment she stood up, she staggered and almost fell.
Everyone immediately held her.
“Stop pretending.” Old Lady Lin glared at Liu Shi and spat on the ground.
Someone finally couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Old Lady Lin, you’re going too far! Your third daughter-in-law is already in such a state, yet you’re still slandering her!”
“That’s right, she’s too vicious!”
“…”
“Who’s vicious? Don’t spout nonsense! This is none of your business!” Old Lady Lin yelled back at them.
Hearing this, the village chief’s face turned dark again.
“Old Lady Lin!” He shouted angrily.
Only then did she stop.
Seeing the village chief’s angry face, she also felt the anger. She said rudely to the village chief, “this is our family’s matter. Even if you’re the village chief, you can’t interfere!”
The village chief’s face was furious as he recalled how rude Old Lady Lin was.
“You’re trying to murder them, is that still a family’s matter?! If Lin Dachui can’t control his wife, then I’ll ask him to leave the village!” He said angrily.
As soon as he said that, panic flashed across the faces of the Lin family members.
If their father (grandfather) was banished from Daishi Village, then the rest of them would also have to leave. What would they do then?
