Chapter 371: The Punishment for Lin Laosan’s Family
Translator: Lonelytree
Lin Laosan’s pupils shrank when he heard Zhou Guixiang’s words. Then, he asked sternly, “Erniu’s wife, what do you mean by this?”
She was very good. She meant that Erniu’s youth shouldn’t be wasted in prison. On the other hand, Lin Laosan was old and didn’t have many years to live. He couldn’t work as well as Erniu, so he should sacrifice himself.
However, everyone knew that Lin Laosan wouldn’t go to prison. He was the head of the family!
Lin Laosan was the reason that the family was still together. If something happened to him, the family would likely suffer all kinds of disputes, and their family would be broken up. Lin Laosan was the backbone of the family. Without him, their family would be completely broken.
In the future, their family would be the target of bullying.
Therefore, Lin Laosan couldn’t go to prison.
Therefore, the best candidate was Lin Erniu.
However, would Lin Erniu and his wife accept this? Of course not.
If Lin Erniu were gone, his family would be bullied by their eldest brother and youngest brother’s families. For their three daughters, Zhou Guixiang had to save her husband.
Lin Laosan’s questioning made Zhou Guixiang’s face turn even paler. Her expression and eyes were filled with panic and helplessness. However, for the sake of their future, she had to do something.
Zhou Guixiang raised her head. Her face was pale, but her eyes were filled with determination as she looked at Lin Laosan’s sharp eyes. She endured the pressure and gritted her teeth. “Father, Erniu is still young. He can work hard and earn money to support the family. He shouldn’t go to jail.” In other words, Lin Laosan was old and should go to jail.
Lin Yuelan was enjoying the show from the side.
She knew that Lin Laosan’s family was selfish and heartless, so none of them wanted to be sent to prison. Therefore, they would turn on each other instantly.
Lin Daniu pointed his finger at Lin Erniu without any hesitation. Lin Erniu wanted his father and brother to take the fall.
However, how would Lin Laosan, who was the most selfish, be willing to accept this punishment?
At the end of the day, Lin Laosan had to rely on Lin Dazong to bring glory to the family. He had to rely on Lin Daniu’s to earn face and glory in the village so that he could trample the villagers under his feet and hold his head high. Therefore, Lin Daniu couldn’t be sent to jail. Otherwise, his record would affect Lin Dazong from becoming a scholar.
Therefore, the only person who could be sacrificed was Lin Erniu.
However, Zhou Guixiang was basically saying, ‘You’re old, so you should go to prison.’
How could Lin Laosan not be angry?
Lin Yuelan gave Jiang Zhennan another look, and then the soybean in Jiang Zhennan’s hand was shot at Li Cuihua.
Jiang Zhennan had sealed up Li Cuihua’s speech and movement by hitting her acupuncture points. Now, he was undoing them.
All of a sudden, Li Cuihua felt that she could move and speak again.
Immediately, she pounced on Zhou Guixiang and gave her two loud slaps. She scolded loudly, “you jinx. Your parents are always nice to you, but at this critical moment, you want to sacrifice your father-in-law!”
After Zhou Guixiang was hit, both of her cheeks immediately became red and swollen. At this moment, she could not care about filial piety and etiquette. She shouted angrily at her mother-in-law, “But you are going to sacrifice your son. How are you better than me?”
The two bags of bones were already so old. They should rot in prison.
Li Cuihua was furious hearing Zhou Guixiang. She grabbed Zhou Guixiang’s head. She smacked her two more times.
She said angrily, “no matter how old your father-in-law is, he’s still your father. His words are the law. How dare you oppose him? You’re a jinx, you unfilial woman. My Lin family will divorce a cheap woman like you!”
This had become the battlefield for Lin Laosan’s family.
Lin Yiwei frowned deeply as he watched and shouted, “Stop!”
As the chief, Lin Yiwei still had his dignity.
