Chapter 17
Lin Zhang was silent again.

She, who was usually the most eloquent, was now completely mute.

And it was the silence at this moment that completely chilled Lin Wenshan's heart.

He didn't speak and had nothing to say.

Although the arrival of this wave of people would not harm his life, because he knew that these people were hired by Lin Chujiu.

But the indifference of his family made him feel worse than death.

At this moment, Lin Chujiu and the village chief and others were about to enter.

"Grandpa the village chief, Grandpa Li Zheng."

"Everyone is in the yard, let's go in quickly."

At this time in the courtyard, Mrs. Lin Zhang also spoke.

"Second brother, you caused this yourself. If you want to blame it, you have to blame yourself. Mom had no choice but to do it."

The village chief, who happened to hear these words, roared angrily:
"Sister-in-law Lin, what are you talking about!"

The voice was so righteous that it made people feel shocked all over.

Lin Zhang glanced over and happened to see the village chief and others at the gate.

Unfortunately, the village chief heard his cruel words.

"Brother Village Chief, Wang Lizheng, why are you here?"

Mrs. Lin Zhang was still very afraid of her family affairs being known to outsiders.

Lin Chujiu looked innocent and carefully hid behind the village chief:
"I was so scared after seeing so many bad people that I went to see the village chief."

Seeing Lin Chujiu's appearance made her feel embarrassed. Although the old lady wanted to curse, in front of the village chief, no matter how much resentment she had, she could only swallow it.

"Haha, it's just a little housework, why do you have the nerve to ask your old man to come?" Mrs. Lin Zhang said with a smile.

"Housework? Is separation of families a trivial matter?" The village chief tapped his cane, almost raising it to hit someone.

When Lin Chujiu went to see the village chief, he was talking about someone coming to his house to collect debts.Naturally, the village chief was also afraid, so he asked Wang Lizheng to join him. It was easier to talk to two high-status people.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, what he heard was Lin Zhang's words about the family separation.

Brother Scar stopped talking when he saw this scene. After all, the village chief's majesty meant that he had to be treated with some kindness.

"Sister-in-law Lin, why do we need to separate our families? And I don't know about this?"

Faced with the village chief's inquiry, Lin Zhang once again staged a scene of crying and gunfire.

"It's not easy for me either! I raised such a son for nothing, and he only causes trouble for me outside!"

Seeing the old woman crying like this, Mr. Lin was so angry that he almost fainted. He was a face-saving person. If he cried like this, the whole village might know about it.

But now that the village chief is here, even if Mr. Lin wants to stop him, it's too late.

"The second child is responsible for this. The old man and I have worked hard all our lives to support so many people. How can we have the money to apologize for him?"

Seeing the old lady being miserable, Lin Chujiu was no longer willing and reminded:

"Grandma, my father and mother went to work in the town, and the money they earned was given to grandma for safekeeping every month."

Even if he didn't say it, the village chief knew that Lin Wenshan often worked in the fields, and people in the village often saw him in the fields. Lin Wenshan worked very hard without any complaints.

If Lin Wenshan was said to be unfilial, the village chief was the first to not believe it.

But now, seeing the old lady talking about him like this, Lin Wenshan didn't refute a word, which made the village chief feel uncomfortable.

So, the village chief asked Lin Yaozu:
"Boss of the Lin family, you just said that your families have been separated. Is this true?"

In this day and age, family separation is uncommon.Usually the family will be separated after the elder has passed a hundred years, or when the brothers and sisters really can't get along.

However, there was no discord in this family, and the old couple lived well.

Regarding the separation of families, I wonder if there is an ancestral hall?
Lin Yaozu was a little flustered and explained: "It's not that I want to separate the family. Mr. Village Chief, there is really no choice but to separate the family at the moment."

"You also know the harvest of the fields. The third brother in the family is still studying and needs money, so my mother and I don't have any spare money. It turns out that the second brother is the cause of the trouble, so let him bear the responsibility alone."

Lin Yaozu had the nerve to say these words without fear of others laughing at him.

Lin Xueyuan also joined in: "This is all the second brother's business and has nothing to do with us."

What she thought was that as long as Lin Wenshan was separated, these tough guys would stop causing trouble.

The village chief asked Mr. Lin: "Big brother, what do you think?"

Mr. Lin's face turned green. He felt that his family's affairs were known to others and he lost all face.

"I'm not dead yet, how can we separate our families?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone had their own thoughts.

Since it would be disgraceful to separate the families, the village chief and Wang Lizheng thought the same thing, and they would not separate them if they could.

At this moment, Lin Chujiu suddenly knelt down and faced the village chief and Wang Lizheng.

Lin Wenshan was a little surprised when he saw it, and wanted to reach out to help him.

However, Lin Chujiu did not let him help him, but hid away. Their eyes met, and Lin Wenshan saw clearly the decision his daughter had to make.

For his daughter to have such determination, Lin Wenshan knew that it was not easy to come by and must seize this opportunity.

Lin Chujiu knew that his uncle and aunt naturally disliked them, and grandma was also very partial. Although grandpa was sensible, he had no real power and could not listen to grandpa.

If we can't separate them this time, it will be difficult to separate them again.

Lin Wenshan is even more foolish and filial. Maybe they will reconcile in the future, but he will still hand over the money if his heart softens.

This time, the family must be separated completely.

"Grandpas, my parents don't want to drag down the family. This time, my parents are willing to separate the family."

After hearing this, everyone present was surprised.

The village chief also felt a little incredible. How could the little girl in front of him know so much about the world at such a young age?
"Jiu'er, listen to grandpa, you don't understand. Your parents have to talk about this matter. Get up quickly."

Lin Wenshan knew that he had to speak to himself about this matter.

So he knelt straight on the ground, surprising everyone.

"Village chief, Li Zheng, what Jiu'er said is exactly what I want to say. Our family doesn't want to delay our parents and eldest brother."

The second wife also understood what the man meant, walked quickly to Lin Wenshan, and knelt down as well.

Lao Er's family all knelt down, and the village chief felt shocked. He didn't know what Lao Er's family had been through, but he knelt down to beg for separation.

Everyone in the village knows that Mrs. Lin and Zhang are very partial, but the second child is very foolish and filial without any complaints.

Because of the second child's honesty, even his next generation are often bullied by the old lady.

The village chief felt that God was unfair. Lin Chujiu and his two younger brothers and sisters were as thin as a stick and looked like they were always hungry.

"It's up to you to make the decision." The village chief said to Mr. Lin, "Big brother."

Since Mr. Lin is the head of the family, you still have to listen to his opinion.

Mr. Lin did not dare to speak or look at Lin Wenshan for a while. The village chief was very disappointed with his performance and felt that he was not worthy of being a scholar.
