Chapter 521 That’s just unfriendly.
Grandma Lin knew that she couldn’t let Lin Zi say those words out loud, if she did that then her grandson’s reputation would be dragged through the mud. Back then she sold Lin Zi to that old man because she wanted money to send her precious grandson to the academy, if Lin Che passed the county level exams and became an official such a thing wouldn’t have mattered after all they sold Lin Zi for a good cause and that was to nurture a genius. But Lin Che failed and he has been failing ever since he started studying in the academy, if not for that skilled master who told her that her family will have an official in the coming years she would have already pulled Lin Che out of the academy. But now that she knew of the prediction that the old master gave her Grandma Lin couldn’t pull Lin Che out of the academy nor could she let anyone taint his pristine image.Thus, even if she wanted to fight Lin Zi to the end, she still backed down. ” what do you want, Lin Zi?”
When the others saw that Grandma Lin was willing to retreat they knew that something wasn’t right. After all, the old Madam Lin was a hard nut to crack she wouldn’t go down just like that, she was more of an ‘ if I am going down I will take you down with me,’ but right now she actually stopped fighting Lin Zi? Though they didn’t know the exact facts, the villagers all understood that there was something shady with the marriage that Lin Zi had in the past.
Grandma Lin didn’t know that her abrupt reaction actually made the villagers even more suspicious, all her attention was focused on Lin Zi who casually lifted her shoulder up and shrewdly said, ” You heard me, I want to get out of the family. Now that sister in law is living the house then all the work will fall on me,” she crossed her arms behind her neck and smirked. ” I am not willing to be your slave anymore soooo, let me leave this family.”
After listening to Lin Zi’s words, Grandma Lin was so angry that her entire body convulsed, it was as if she was having an attack. But no one was sympathetic towards the old woman, at first, they thought that Grandma Lin was indeed upset about Lin Zi leaving the family but now it seemed like she was just upset about losing a free slave.
No wonder Lin Zi wanted to get out of this family.
Grandma Lin stared at Lin Zi as if she wanted to eat her alive. ” are you sure you want this… Don’t come regretting to me once you start starving on the streets.!”
Lin Zi raised her brows and shrugged, ” Regret? I will never regret anything. I did give this family a chance to act like a bunch of decent human beings but” chuckling in amusement, Lin Zi sneered. “You guys showed me that animals can never ever act like humans.”
”You…..!” Grandma Lin was stunned when she heard Lin Zi call her an animal, she was really gutsy huh? Does she think that she who was an abandoned woman worth something? Humph. Though Grandma Lin thought that it was a pity that Lin Zi was bent on leaving but she wasn’t someone who would beg her daughter! She wanted to leave then she was free to be her guest. ” Fine, we will sign the separation documents right now and you can get out of this animalistic family at once!”
” Aunt—” An Xia has just begun to speak when Grandma Lin interrupted her. ” What are you worried about? Isn’t there young master Xing? As long as we take good care of him, he will treat our family well.”
An Xia’s face was twisted. Lord Xing? This family was still thinking of latching on to Xing Bengt’s thigh? Wasn’t giving that useless Lin Ze a job already a good enough grace? Now they wanted someone to take care of their household as well?
Though An Xia’s entire face was shrouded with dark mist, Grandma Lin didn’t pay attention to her. She wasn’t the only one who was lazy in the family, An Xia was the same. As long as she wanted to live comfortably, An Xia would definitely ask for some workers, thus Grandma Lin wasn’t that much worried, she easily signed the separation document and then threw it at Lin Zi like she was a queen of a realm or something.
Lin Zi knew why her mother was acting like that and sneered. ‘ act as arrogantly as you want, Su Wan and my nephews already knows about Xing Bengt, just you wait. We will see who will regret first.’
Though Lin Zi thought like this, she didn’t say anything to Grandma Lin and walked out of the house with Zhang Xiaohui after picking up the document that grandma Lin has thrown on the ground.
As the two of them walked out towards Lin Jing and Su Wan who was waiting for them, Grandma Lin shouted behind them. ” Don’t you dare to come back, even if you are dying or starving, don’t come back to our house!”
” Now that’s just unfriendly,” said Lin Zi as she shook her head in disappointment.
” Totally,” said Su Wan as she watched Grandma Lin shut the door on their faces after she sent Village head Luo away just after Lin Zi and Zhang Xiaohui came out.
” Aunt Zhang give that to me, it seems heavy,” said Lin Jing as he watched Zhang Xiaohui carry the cloth bag in her hand. Actually, the bag wasn’t heavy at all but Zhang Xiaohui’s entire arm was filled with red welts. Anyone with eyes could see that she was beaten by a heavy stick every day.
Zhang Xiaohui felt awkward she was really guilty of acting like a bully to these kids. Look at them worrying about her while her own kids silently watched her get beaten, though she was feeling awkward, Zhang Xiaohui still handed her bag to Lin Jing. As Lin Jing took her bag, Zhang Xiaohui mumbled hurriedly, ” Sorry and thank you.” It wasn’t that she was embarrassed to say thank you but she felt like she wasn’t deserving of their forgiveness.
