Chapter 532 Ran away.
The Lin brothers were happy but the old Lin family were beating their chests. After the news of Xing Bengt"s arrest was publicised, everything that was under his name was seized by the Yamen. Even the bar where Lin Ze worked was closed, all the employees were kicked out and the purchased slaves were once again sold to the slave traders, if this was only a small matter of selling the servants, no one in the Lin family would have made a fuss but this matter was related to Lin Ze"s job! If Lin Ze lost his job then what will they do in the future? They even kicked Zhang Xiaohui and Lin Zhi, now no one would work for them in the fields and cook hot meals for them.
" What? Ran away? How can she run away?" Lin Ze who didn"t take the news of Xing Bengt getting executed well felt like the entire world has flipped down in just two days. Just two days ago he was all set to marry his beloved and even kicked those annoying weight bags Zhang Xiaohui and Lin Zhi out of the house but now his beloved ran with his child and Zhang Xiaohui left him with a huge hole in his pocket to fill!
Twenty taels! That was twenty taels! Only he knew how many people he had to fawn over to get that money. And now it wasn"t even in his pocket! Suddenly, Lin Ze tasted something fishy in his mouth, what else would it be? It was a mouthful of blood. He was coughing up blood!????wℯ??o?el. ???
" Why can"t she run away?" snapped Old Madam Lin, she was really mad at that b.i.t.c.h named An Xia. When their family was going through the prosperous days, that b.i.t.c.h lived with them and ate their meat and rice on their table. Old madam Lin was worried about her grandson, so she didn"t ask An Xia to do anything that was too hard or laborious, after all that woman was much more delicate than Zhang Xiaohui. For the sake of her grandson, Old madam was willing to cook meat every day, she even went ahead and brought some abalone for An Xia when the latter said that her grandson was craving it. She brought six abalones for three taels and yet no one from her family ate those six abalones, all of them went into An Xia"s stomach. Even her precious Lin Che couldn"t eat a bite! That An Xia didn"t stop her grandson from eating but her speed of eating was even faster than Lin Che"s and she gobbled the abalones all at once. It was like watching a hungry ghost swallowing everything on the table.
Old madam Lin was petty and a miser, she would rather jump down the river than waste money on things that she considered useless but for the sake of her grandson, she was willing to use her savings.
And yet all of it went down the drain! Once the news of Xing Bengt being caught started circulating in the town, it didn"t take long for the people in the village to find out as well. An Xia who was one of the first ones who caught the gist of the situation, hurriedly packed everything valuable that she could find in the Lin family and ran away. When she was doing all of this, Grandma Lin and her grandchildren went to check up on the fields, now that there was no Zhang Xiaohui and Lin Zhi, they had no choice but to take the matters into their hands. As for Lin Ze, he was sleeping soundly and didn"t even wake up once when An Xia entered his room and stole his savings as well.
An Xia"s conscience was clean, she knew that if she didn"t run away now—— she would become the second Zhang Xiaohui, she was treated well by the Lin Family because she was favoured by Xing Bengt. Now that her backing was gone, the Lin family would definitely suck everything dry from her body. An Xia has seen how the Lin family treated Zhang Xiaohui, she didn"t want to become ugly and dried like Zhang Xiaohui. She was still young, so why she should waste her youth on someone like Lin Ze? He neither had skills nor money, even his mother was like an old witch.
And so she ran away just like that.
When Grandma Lin returned home with her grandchildren, the first thing she saw was the mess that littered the floor. A bad premonition rose in her heart and just as she expected everything from their house was stolen! Her mind buzzed and she ran to the village head to file a complaint while she was rushing to Village head Luo"s house, she heard the rumours of Xing Bengt"s arrest and execution. Her heart dropped as she rushed around to verify whether it was true or not—— and after asking this and that, she finally found the truth.
Xing Bengt"s entire family going to be executed.
If Grandma Lin wasn"t a woman with great determination and courage, she would have fainted right then and there.
" That b.i.t.c.h is really cunning, the second she heard that Xing Bengt was going to be executed, she packed her s.h.i.t and left." snarled Old madam Lin smacking the table hard with her hand, so hard that the entire table shook from the impact. "I mean if she wanted to leave then she should have at least given me my grandson first! Not only did she run away with my grandson, but she also stole my entire family"s savings!"
Lin Ze"s expression turned gloomy. His entire body was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anger—— that woman! What did he not do for her? He even divorced his wife for more than seventeen years for her, and she ran away just like that? Wasn"t she looking a bit too down on him? However, right now wasn"t the time to worry about her, the most important thing was ——money.
" Mother now we are like this, what are we going to do?" asked Lin Ze, he didn"t want to work hard but he also didn"t want to die from starvation. " If we have no money or grains what are we going to eat?"
"Mother." at this moment, Lin Yunxi who was standing next to Lin Ze suddenly spoke up, " Why not bring mother back?"
