Chapter 52 - 52 Disownment
52 Disownment
“After leaving the Lin family, the three of us have no place to stay, so we have to buy land to build a house. You just have to give us this house and the four plots of land around it.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s eyes lit up.
“How can we do that? The land here is not valuable, but it’s about three acres. Also, the courtyard is also worth some money. If you want it, there’s no problem, but you have to pay for it!” He immediately said.
The dilapidated house and the four pieces of land around it were indeed their family’s, but the house was in a state of disrepair and the four pieces of land were barren, so they couldn’t grow anything there. Although they still had some crops planted, they rarely cared about it.
The villagers started talking again.
That house was still worth any money? The four pieces of land were useless. The crops they had were only enough to pay the grain taxes.
The corners of Lin Xiaoyue’s mouth curled up. “Heh, forget about it then. You guys can take back the land.” She had a helpless expression on her face.
“Then please give us the 2.4 acres of land. You can also help us sell it,” she said to the village chief.
Just as the village chief was about to speak, Lin Dachui hurriedly spoke up.
“Fine! We’ll give you the four plots of land!”
After saying that, he glared at his son.
Even though the land was barren, they still had to pay grain taxes. So they were making a loss.
Now that they could finally get rid of it and avoid losing the good land, they could just give it to them.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“Then there’s no need to divide the land. Please continue with the rest.” She smiled and looked at the village chief.
The Lin family members were in a panic. Were there more?
“Then there’s the Lin family’s cash.”
“We don’t have any!” Fourth Uncle Lin said immediately.
“Right, it’s all spent on Yuanshan!” First Uncle Lin continued.
“Right, there’s no money! Laosan’s family lived at home when he was still alive. Didn’t they spend money too?” Second Uncle Lin said.
“We really don’t have any money!” Lin Dachui also said gloomily.
The village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a troubled expression.
As an outsider, he really wouldn’t know how much money the Lin family had.
Lin Xiaoyue gave the village chief a grateful smile and turned to look at the Lin family.
“We can let go of the money…”
“That’s what you said!” Fourth Uncle Lin looked at Lin Xiaoyue angrily.
“Yes. But there are conditions.” Lin Xiaoyue did not take his gaze seriously at all.
“What conditions?” Lin Dachui looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“Please sign a letter disowning me and Xiaozhi. From now on, the three of us will have nothing to do with the Lin family.”
The villagers were in an uproar.
Lin Xiaoyue continued, “oh, also, please promise me that grandma and the rest of the Lin family will not come to our house to steal things. Otherwise, I will report the crime of theft to the authorities!”
At this point, the smarter ones understood.
She wanted to break things off with her family not only because she was disappointed, but to avoid being harassed by them, especially Old Lady Lin.
In the past, Old Lady Lin had come to rob them because she was her grandmother, so even if she knew or even caught her, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.
But after the disownment, the situation was different. If they were caught stealing, they would have to go to jail.
Thinking about it this way, this might actually be good for them. Perhaps they would have peace in the future.
Lin Dachui’s face was dark.
“Alright, then let’s break things off!” He said in a deep voice.
He really wanted to see if the three of them could survive without the Lin family! If they couldn’t, don’t even think about coming back to them!
