Chapter 19 Learn to take responsibility
Is this old man crazy?
Mr. Lin never hit her before, but this time he hit her in front of so many people, which made Lin Zhang feel incredible.

She felt aggrieved and thought that she had done nothing wrong from beginning to end, but that there was something wrong with this old man.

If she had made even the slightest mistake, she would have married her second son to such an unlucky wife and harmed the whole family.

In the past, when the second child was not married, he worked with great enthusiasm and never complained. But this time something happened, it was not all because of his unlucky wife.

The second daughter-in-law was also blamed for the family separation, which made the villagers laugh. Thinking of this, the old lady felt even more resentful.

But she never thought that after the second daughter-in-law came in, she shared a lot of burdens for her, and she was the one who benefited.

Even if the second daughter-in-law later followed the second son to work in the town, it was the old lady's idea, so that the two of them could make more money.

Following this slap, there was a long silence in the courtyard, and no one spoke.

But Brother Scar did not forget his mission. He was hired to collect debts.

"I said, after all this fussing for a long time, have you finally discussed it and who will pay for it?"

As Brother Scar finished speaking, Mr. Lin let out a long sigh.

"We're out."

Before the old man finished speaking, Mrs. Lin Zhang looked like she was crazy and shouted: "I said, old man, you are really mad because of your loss. How can our family have any money left?"

It's not that I don't have any money left, but it's more uncomfortable to give the money I've withheld over the years to my second son to pay off my debts than to have my own flesh cut off.

"It's the money my son owes. As a father, I should naturally pay for it." Mr. Lin behaved very responsibly.

Although he has been suppressed by his mother-in-law these years, and looks very weak and incompetent to outsiders, this time, he wants to be tough.

When he said this, even the village chief was surprised. He didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so tough.

Lin Chujiu's thoughts were a little complicated at this time. In fact, she just wanted to separate the family and was not looking for an excuse to ask for money.

The light finally returned to Lin Wenshan's eyes. He originally thought that the Lin family had given up on his son, which made him feel very cold, but at this time his father stood up and spoke.

Lin Wenshan was full of hope and felt that his father still cared about him. Although his mother was partial, his efforts were not in vain and it was worthwhile to be seen by the old man.

It was at this time that Lin Wenshan made up his mind.

"Dad, eldest brother is right. A good man does what a good man does, but it was me who caused the trouble. We can't let my parents pay for it."

Lin Wenshan was a little more determined. It was impossible for him to ask for the old man's money, because this matter was originally false.

Lin Chujiu's heart was a little more complicated. She knew that Lin Wenshan was honest and loyal, and he said this from the bottom of his heart.

It's time to step up and help him.

So Lin Chujiu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up and said to the village chief:

"Grandpa, the village chief, my parents have told me since I was a child that although we are poor, we must not be short-term. Working from a wealthy family, my parents have never had any evil thoughts. This must be someone who has been wronged."

Lin Wenshan said that one person should take responsibility for the work, but he did not steal other people's things. Lin Chujiu made up this lie just to let the old lady break up the family happily, but he could not tarnish his reputation.

The village chief nodded. He knew that Lin Wenshan was an honest and loyal person, and his wife followed him honestly. It was absolutely impossible for the couple to do anything evil.If someone comes to ask for debt like this, it must be someone who has been wronged. It is very sad that good people are not rewarded.

Although the village is not considered poor now and the people have enough to eat and drink, if they want to come up with five taels of silver at once, no one may be able to come up with it.

The village chief wanted to help, but he didn't have so much money himself, so he could only pity Lin Wenshan for his honesty and loyalty, but there was no good result.

Lin Wenshan is so honest, he will definitely not accept charity from others.But today I was very satisfied when I heard the village chief speak for me.

At the same time, Lin Yaozu also made up his mind. He was the one who said the separation of the family in the first place. Since he had lost face in front of outsiders, he might as well go all the way.

Mr. Lin just said that he would use his family's money to repay Lin Wenshan. The old couple's money should have been inherited by the eldest son. This money...

If he no longer has this money, Lin Yaozu will not only lose face, he will also lose his money.

Besides, the total remaining money may not be enough.

Moreover, the eldest daughter-in-law kept winking at him, asking Li Yaozu to speak quickly.

"Dad, this is not a trivial matter. Our family has to discuss it carefully behind closed doors. My third brother has to pay tuition this year, and Ming'er should also go to school. There are too many places to spend money. Please think twice."

This time, Lin Yaozu also learned well.

He did not directly stop the old man, nor insisted on dividing the family, but asked Mr. Lin to think about it carefully.

Lin Yaozu finally made up his mind. He felt that Mr. Lin was just confused when he said he wanted to pay back the money.

But we can't let Mr. Lin spend all the money in the family to fill the hole for his second brother due to his confusion.

If the family is divided, most of the family's land and savings will of course go to the eldest brother, because the parents live with them, and the old couple can still help with the work.

If the money is gone, what else can be divided among the families?
In this case, Lin Yaozu's move should be a delaying tactic, and his parents' money should not be lost in vain.

Lin Chujiu was a little wary. Things had come to this point. Nothing would happen again, right?
Lin Yaozu had said so much, but if he changed the fact of the family separation, all the previous efforts would be wasted.

So, Lin Chujiu said to Lin Yaozu:
"Uncle, don't worry. Dad has told me a long time ago that he will not let this matter involve his family. Dad, what do you think?"

Lin Chujiu said and looked at Lin Wenshan.

Of course Lin Wenshan knew what Lin Chujiu meant, so he nodded vigorously and said, "That's the truth. We will pay back the money sooner or later, so let's separate the families."

When he said the word Fenjia, Lin Wenshan clearly saw the joy in the old lady's heart and the guilt in the old man's eyes.

However, when I said this sentence myself, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

There is an inexplicable shackle in the body, which has fallen off at this moment. The heavy burden falling on the shoulders may be "foolish filial piety".

The old lady finally found a chance to speak and said to Mr. Lin:
"This is also the filial piety of the second child, don't you think so, old man? We can't let the filial piety of the second child go to waste!"

The words were high-sounding, and Mr. Lin's face did turn green and purple for a while. He really felt that this woman and the boss had embarrassed him.
