Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
10 taels of silver for the betrothal was indeed enough. However, what about the money for the matchmaker and the wedding?
They are so cruel…
“We can’t just let Lanhua take our money. If you don’t give me this money, then Lanhua will stay with us. When she gets married, we’ll deduct it from her betrothal gift!” Deng Shi suddenly said.
She had no choice but to say it. If she did not get the money back, her husband would not let her off. She had no way to explain to her two sons.
Old Madam Lin’s eyes immediately turned to Deng Shi.
Before she could speak, she was stopped by Lin Yuanshan
“When Lanhua gets married, other than receiving betrothal gifts, the family also has to provide her dowry. If you don’t, do you want her to be bullied by her in-laws after she gets married?” Lin Yuanshan said righteously.
Lin Lanhua was touched.
“Humph! When she blackmailed me, she didn’t even think about us!”
Lin Yuanshan’s face darkened.
“This is not completely her fault. If you didn’t feel guilty, would you have been threatened?”
Without waiting for Deng Shi to reply, Lin Yuanshan continued, “it’s impossible to return all the money. Mother, give them 10 taels and get this over with!”
Deng Shi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
However, before she could say anything, Old Madam Lin spoke.
“All the money is mine! Why are you giving it to this b * tch?”
“Why do you keep this b * tch in the family? You disobedient and unfilial child, you should divorce her!”
Deng Shi choked and she couldn’t continue.
Lin Dazhuang realized that something was wrong and went forward to support her.
Seeing this, Second Uncle Lin also took a step forward.
“Alright! 10 taels then!”
Just like that, there were no more objections. The Lin family’s plan to split up was finalized.
Only then did Lin Yuanshan ask Fourth Uncle Lin to invite the village chief over to preside over the separation of the family and the signing of the doc.u.ments.
The village chief brought his eldest son, Li Gcngtian, along. After asking about the situation, he helped the Lin family split up.
First, the Lin family’s house was divided into four.
The best room was given to Lin Yuanshan because he’s taking his parents with him.
Regarding this, none of them had any objections.
Then, the furniture, kitchen utensils, and food in the house were all distributed.
Lin Yuanshan received a little more and the rest were divided equally.
Then, the land was divided into four.
The village chief wrote a doc.u.ment stating that the family’s money would not be divided and would be left to the parents for their retirement.
Then, the others would not have to give them money in the future.
Moreover, the parents would stay with Lin Yuanshan in the future, and Lin Yuanshan would take care of them in their old age.
In addition, Lin Lanhua also stayed with Lin Yuanshan.
The village chief informed him that the new household registration would be done in two days, and then he left.
He sighed as he walked out of the Lin family’s door.
The two elders of the Lin family favored Lin Yuanshan too much.
It would be fine if nothing happened to Lin Yuanshan. Otherwise, the two of them would probably regret it…
After the village chief left, the Lin family immediately started to move.
With an empty stomach, they began to move things out.
The Lin family had finished moving out before it was even 5 o’clock.
After that, they didn’t even eat together.
They each prepared their own meals and went back to their respective rooms to eat. They did not even care about the two elders..
