Chapter 7

Lin Wenshan and his wife are very capable.

Normally, he works in the town and gives all the money he earns to Lin Zhang.When the farming season is busy, they will return to the village to do farm work and work as cattle and horses for the whole family.

Such a filial son and daughter-in-law were labeled "unfilial" by Lin Zhang when they mentioned the family separation.

"Unfilial piety" is a serious crime. If someone finds out, they will point fingers and say bad things about you.So Lin Wenshan and his wife are still very concerned about their reputation.

Therefore, every time the Lin Zhang family made a big fuss, Lin Wenshan gave up the idea of ​​dividing the family.

Now, Lin Wenshan thought of dividing the family again.

But he knew that even if he proposed to separate the family, Lin Zhang would still use his old tricks, causing trouble for the whole family, and the family would not be able to separate. It would just be the same as last time, making a big fuss. What should he do?
Another way is to take advantage of this incident and make this matter bigger, so that it will be difficult to separate them when the time comes.

Lin Chujiu thought about it and looked at Lin Wenshan.

A middle-aged man, feeling guilty about his child, looked like a child who had made a mistake, hanging his head and looking full of self-blame.

There is no rush for this matter.

Although Lin Chujiu couldn't wait to separate the family, her child's decision didn't count, and Lin Wenshan had to advocate for it.

Today, she has revealed a lot of Lin Zhang's "evil deeds" to Lin Wenshan, and it would be too much to say more.

Therefore, Lin Chujiu decided that it was time to change the subject.

"Dad, why are you and my mother back today?"

Lin Chujiu knew that Lin Wenshan and his wife worked as long-term workers for a large family in Zhenshan. They usually got paid at the end of the month and would not come back until the money was paid. They would stay for a few days before going back.

Looking at Lin Chujiu's innocent face, Lin Wenshan smiled faintly.

"There's something wrong with that house, so we can't wait any longer."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Lin Chujiu felt a little uneasy.

If there hadn't been a serious incident of murder and arson, how could even the long-term workers be kicked out?
"Dad, tell me the truth, what is the reason?"

Lin Chujiu always felt that this matter was not that simple, and Lin Wenshan still had something to say to her.

Lin Wenshan was a little surprised to see his daughter being serious like a little adult, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that his daughter cared about her parents.

"Something was lost in the house, and the thief happened to hide it in your mother's cook."

"Such a big thing? Then they thought my mother was a thief and you chased her out?" Lin Chujiu was worried.

Lin Wenshan shook his head and explained:

"After the matter was investigated, the housekeeper was not an unreasonable person, because the person who stole the things was someone who worked in the house, so the matter was not spread to the outside world. After the matter was investigated, your mother was cleared. Because of this matter, They gave me an extra tael of silver and asked us to come back early to spend the autumn."

After listening to Lin Wenshan's words, Lin Chujiu felt relieved. Fortunately, he had not been wronged.

However, this incident is an opportunity.

What a rare opportunity!

If Mrs. Lin Zhang knew that no money would be handed over to her this month and she still had to pay, she would be eager to draw a clear line with the second family. Wouldn't it be in line with Lin Chujiu's wishes?
Lin Chujiu thought about it and felt that he could discuss it with Lin Wenshan.

"Dad, I have an idea. Why don't you go back and tell me that if you don't make any money outside, you still have to pay for other people's money." Lin Wenshan didn't understand for a while, so he retorted:

"Why are you talking about this? Your mother was really not wronged, and we don't have to pay compensation. This is true."

"I know." Lin Chujiu knew that Lin Wenshan felt that when Lin Chujiu suddenly said these words, he must be worried that he had something to do without telling her, so Lin Chujiu's words were quite surprising.

"Dad, what I mean is that if you want to separate from grandma, this is a way."

In fact, what Lin Chujiu said earlier was just to persuade Lin Wenshan to separate the family.

But when he actually said it, Lin Wenshan was really shocked. He didn't expect that a child could say "split the family."

Lin Wenshan was shocked and hesitated, but he wanted to separate the family, but the important thing was, how to prevent the old lady from crying or making trouble?
Lin Chujiu naturally knew Lin Wenshan’s doubts, so he continued to persuade Lin Wenshan:
"Dad, I'm at home, so it doesn't matter if I eat wild vegetables. But I can't bear to see you, who work so hard to make money, being treated like this by your grandma. There are also my little sister and brother, who are so young and haven't even grown yet, and they still have to live with me. Cut grass and collect firewood together..."

As he talked, Lin Chujiu almost cried.

"They are still so young and have to do these menial jobs. What should they do in the future?"

Lin Chujiu's thin body trembled slightly in the wind, which made people feel distressed.

Although Lin Wenshan hesitated, he thought of what Lin Chujiu said. The son and daughter were both seven or eight years old, but they looked like chickens. Even the villagers could tell that they were hungry.

After thinking about it, Lin Wenshan decided to ask his daughter.

"Jiu'er, you know you want to separate the family, but what can you do?"

"Dad, of course I know. You are worried that if the family is separated, my grandma will definitely make a fuss and say that you are unfilial. But if it is my grandma who is said to be the one who separates the family, wouldn't there be no one to complain about us?"

Lin Wenshan was a little disappointed after hearing this, saying that the old lady would not take the initiative to propose a family separation.

He still vaguely remembered that the old lady cried and cried like a shrew the last time she talked about breaking up the family, and was unreasonable.

"Dad, don't worry, your daughter has her own plan."

Lin Chujiu had already thought of a countermeasure and was waiting for Lin Wenshan to agree, "I can use this strategy to test whether grandma is sincere to our family."

Lin Wenshan will be heartbroken by then.

Lin Wenshan still doesn't understand why he is testing the old lady, and what is he testing?
But then, Lin Chujiu expressed his thoughts.

According to what she just said, she said that her father did not make any money outside and had to lose money. According to Lin Zhang's character of never giving up money, she would definitely cut off the relationship with the second room immediately.

Lin Chujiu understood that Lin Zhang, an old man, was completely obsessed with money. If the second house didn't make money, it would be of no use to her.

"Dad, don't worry. When you get back, you will make an agreement with your mother, and they will agree on the same thing. You will say that you were kicked out because you were wrongfully accused of stealing, and you have to pay compensation, otherwise you will be sent to the Yamen."

Lin Wenshan was shocked after hearing what Lin Chujiu said.

"If you lie to your grandma so blatantly, if she finds out, she won't be able to..."

"I'm not afraid." Lin Chujiu interrupted Lin Wenshan's words and said seriously, "If dad encounters difficulties, will grandma help? This is a good opportunity. If grandma helps, it means that she still regards dad as her family. Son, if you don’t help..."

"It's natural to separate our families. My grandma doesn't regard us as a family anyway. What does dad think?"

Although Lin Chujiu spoke eloquently, Lin Wenshan still hesitated.

Lin Chujiu knew that the arrow was on the string at this moment and had to be fired.
