Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 507: Wang Lin, a Smart Person
Wang Lin ruined his future because of his youthful vigor. Although he didn't regret it, he still felt a little regretful every time he thought of his life in the military camp. This time when he went back, he didn't wear the work clothes that Lu Jiaxin bought for him. Instead, he got two sets of half-worn clothes and carried a worn-out luggage bag.

It was around four in the afternoon when we arrived at the village, and we didn't see many people on the road.

When he got home, Wang Lin opened the door and saw his sister sitting on a low stool holding a child and crying sadly, while his mother was wiping her tears.

Wang's father and mother had six children in total. Wang Lin was the fourth child. He had an older sister and two older brothers, and a younger brother and a younger sister.

Seeing this scene, Wang Lin's joy of returning home instantly disappeared. He asked worriedly, "Mom, little sister, what happened at home?"

The Queen Mother was startled when she heard the voice, but when she turned around and saw him, she was very happy. However, she was worried when she thought that someone in the village had gone out to work and would come back soon. "Four, why are you back when you were supposed to go to work?"

Wang Lin said, "I haven't been home for two years, so I asked the factory for half a month's leave. Mom, what happened between you and my little sister?"

He did not tell his family that he was Lu Jiaxin's bodyguard. He didn't want his parents, who were getting old, to worry about him, so he told them that he was working as a security guard in a factory in Pengcheng.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but shed tears again: "Your little sister, your little sister has such a hard life."

When Wang Xiaomei heard this, she burst into tears.

"Mom, what happened?"

After asking, I found out that Wang Xiaomei had been sterilized on the same day she gave birth to her second daughter. The Xiang family wanted a son but she couldn't have one, so they forced her to divorce.

The Queen Mother was furious and resentful: "When they first came to propose marriage, they said they would treat my little sister like their own daughter. But when they saw that my little sister's second child was also a daughter, the Xiang family asked her to wash clothes and cook during the confinement period. She didn't want to, so the old hag of the Xiang family scolded her and encouraged Xiang Jiang to do it."

"I didn't take good care of the confinement period and had no milk. The baby could only drink rice soup. The four-month-old baby was as thin as a kitten."

Wang Lin saw the baby in his sister's arms, and it was indeed very small, only about two months old. If he had the same temper as before, he would have rushed to the Xiang family to settle accounts with them after hearing these things. But after following Lu Jiaxin for the past two years, he knew that beating people would not only fail to solve the problem, but would also put himself in a passive position.

Seeing his gloomy face, Wang Xiaomei quickly stopped crying and held Wang Mu to stop her from crying: "Third brother, I'm fine. Xiang Jiang treats me very well and loves his two daughters very much. It's just that his parents want grandchildren and are trying to find fault with me."

Wang Lin saw her expression and movements and knew what she was afraid of: "Little sister, if Xiang Jiang was really a good person, she wouldn't let her parents kick you out. Don't worry, I won't be impulsive."

He had broken six ribs of that wild man before and lost his future. If he went to Xiang's house and injured someone again, he would definitely be arrested by the police. Now he would not be so impulsive, let alone so stupid.

"Little sister, what are your plans for the future?"

Wang Xiaomei lowered her head and said, "I'll be back in two days."

"Why go back to that wolf den? If you go back, they will definitely find ways to make you unable to stay, or tire you to death, and then abandon the child and remarry."

Wang Xiaomei knew what he meant. He wanted her to get a divorce, but it was easier said than done. She cried and said, "Third brother, if we get divorced, where will I go with my children? How will I live?"

Wang Lin said: "If you want a divorce, then get one. With so many brothers and sisters at home, you won't have anywhere to go. You and your children will be cold and hungry."

Of course Wang Xiaomei wanted to divorce. Ever since she gave birth to her little daughter, the Xiang family had thrown all the work to her. If she didn't do a good job, they would scold her. If Xiang Jiang got angry, he would even hit her. But she didn't have the courage to divorce: "Third brother, my eldest and second brothers have families, and you will definitely have a family in the future. You can't let me make the family restless, otherwise I will be the sinner in the family."

"Besides, Daya is six years old this year and can do a lot of work. If we really divorce, I can only take Xiaoya with me. Daya won't be given to me. If I leave the child in the Xiang family, I don't know how much suffering she will have to endure."

Wang Lin thought it was not a difficult task: "If they don't give Daya to you, I will go and beat Xiang Jiang up every few days. If I beat them up a few more times, the two old men in the Xiang family will definitely agree."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she grabbed his arm and said, "Fourth son, no, you can't hit anyone."

His son, who originally had a bright future, ruined it all because of that bitch and had to work as a security guard in a factory. Every time he thought of her, he wanted to tear that bitch to pieces.

Wang Lin comforted her, "Mother, if my brother-in-law beats my brother-in-law, as long as he doesn't hurt him, it's a family matter and the government won't intervene."

This was also a matter of looking at the Lu family, letting him know that these were actually family affairs. As long as he was careful in his actions and made Xiang Jiang suffer, the police would not arrest him.

The Queen Mother was relieved, and then she said, "Fourth brother, if I divorce you, I will have to go back to my parents' home. You have to discuss this matter with your elder brother and the others. You can't decide on your own."

Wang Lin felt that what his mother said made sense. He would be returning to Hong Kong in a few days. His younger sister divorced and stayed at her parents' home, and would have to be taken care of by his elder brother and his wife in the future. If he let his younger sister get divorced without discussing this with them, they would definitely feel uncomfortable. Orphans and widows would be bullied to death if no one protected them.

"Okay, then the five of us brothers and sisters will sit down and discuss it together."

The Queen Mother's expression froze for a moment, and after a while she said, "Just discuss it with the eldest and second brothers. Your sister is not in a good position to stay in town, so don't bother. It won't be too late to tell her after the matter is settled."

Seeing that she didn't mention his younger brother, Wang Lin felt strange. His mother loved him the most, but she excluded him from such a big matter. There was something strange about it. However, after two years of training, he was no longer the reckless man he used to be, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The Queen Mother stood up and said, "Your father, elder brother and his wife are all busy in the fields. I'll go call them."

After Wang Mu left the yard, Wang Lin whispered, "Little sister, don't be afraid. I'm here! I won't let you and your two children starve, freeze, or have nowhere to stay."

Wang Xiaomei was deeply moved.

Wang Lin asked, "Why did mother just say not to call me fifth brother?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaomei showed resentment on her face, "Fifth brother is living with his wife's parents now. Because fifth sister-in-law's brother has a job and can't have another child after having a daughter, he asked Zhuangzhuang to change his surname to Wen. When my parents found out, they asked him to change Zhuangzhuang's surname back, saying that they would not recognize this son if he didn't. As a result, in the early spring, my father fell down while working in the fields and was hospitalized in the county for more than half a month. My husband and wife didn't even bother to take care of him or go to see him. My father didn't show up for more than two months after he went home to recuperate."

The fifth son of the Wang family has a son and a daughter. Changing the son's surname is almost like having a live-in son-in-law. Wang Lin has been out for so many years and doesn't care much about what surname the child takes. But if he doesn't show up when his father falls and is hospitalized for injury, what's the difference between him and an animal?

Wang Lin said coldly: "Since he doesn't recognize his parents, let's just assume he's dead!"

Then Wang Lin rode his bicycle to the town and called his eldest sister and her husband back home. When he got home, his eldest brother and his second brother were already there, so he called them one by one. When Wang's father saw Wang Lin, his expression softened a lot: "It's cold outside, let's talk inside."

After everyone sat down, Wang Lin spoke first: "Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, sister, brother-in-law, the Xiang family wants a son, but my sister has had a sterilization and cannot have children. If you don't agree to a divorce, they will torture my sister to death."

Brother Wang wanted to speak, but Sister-in-law Wang pulled him back and stopped him.

Wang Ersao looked reluctant, but she still had to say what she had to say: "Fourth Brother, we can't bear to see our younger sister being tortured by the Xiang family. But there aren't enough rooms at home, and your eldest nephew will be planning to get married in a few years. If your younger sister gets divorced and goes home, there won't be room at home for your eldest nephew to get married. Also, she's not registered here, so she can't get a share of the land. What will mother and daughter eat then?"

The eldest brother's family was lucky. A few years ago, they built four large houses with blue bricks and tiles. They and the two elders squeezed into these four houses. The parents-in-law, the couple and their five children lived in the house and there was no room for anyone else.

After that, Wang Ersao said to Wang Xiaomei with a guilty look on her face: "Xiaomei, it's not that I don't want you to go home, it's just that the situation at home is like this, there is nothing I can do."

Wang Xiaomei wiped her tears and said, "Second sister-in-law, I won't leave. I will take the children back later."

Wang Lin did not respond to Wang Ersao's words, but looked at Wang Da Ge: "Brother, you are the eldest son of the family, what do you say?"

Brother Wang sighed, "It's easy to solve the problem of where to live. If there's no room at home, your second brother and I will take your nephews to build two mud houses for her. But what about food? What will the mother and daughter eat when there's no land to farm?"

It's okay to let them support him for a while, but it's unrealistic to support him all the time. After all, he and the second oldest son have four or five children each, and they can't take care of them all on their own.

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and said nothing. She could help out, but she couldn't give money or food. She couldn't ignore her own children for the sake of her sister-in-law and niece.

"What do you mean, brother?"

Brother Wang wiped his face and said, "Divorce. As for food and clothing after the divorce, we'll talk about it when the time comes."

Wang Ersao glared at him fiercely, but she didn't say anything against it. If she said no, her sister-in-law would be tortured to death, and her parents-in-law and Wang Lin would resent her. Of course, as a woman, she couldn't bear to see her sister-in-law like this.

After pushing her husband, Sister Wang also expressed her opinion, saying, "When we build the adobe house, I'll ask the head of the family and Zhuzi to come and help."

Seeing that his brother and sister both agreed to divorce, Wang Lin was satisfied: "Big brother, second brother, big sister, you just need to solve the problem of where my little sister and the two children live. You don't have to worry about her and the two children's lives, I'm here for you!"

"You don't have to worry about me not caring about my younger sister after I get married. I won't get married within five years. We'll talk about it after five years."

Although he has bought a house, he has no plans to get married now. After the previous betrayal, he will not abandon his wife in his hometown or the inner city after marriage. Who knows if he will be cheated on again if they don't see each other for a long time. So if he wants to get married, he has to wait until he stops working as a bodyguard.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Wang's father, who had been silent the whole time, took two puffs of his cigarette and was very satisfied to see that his son had achieved success: "Si'er, you should work hard outside. With me and your elder and second brothers here, no one can bully them."

Wang Xiaomei cried bitterly, feeling moved and guilty.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Mrs. Wang said, "It was the Xiang family who forced my younger sister to divorce because they wanted to give birth to a son. We can't just take back my younger sister's dowry. We also have to ask the Xiang family for some money. It's not easy for my fourth brother to make money, so getting compensation can also reduce his burden."

In fact, it not only reduces Wang Lin’s burden, but also because his younger sister has money, she doesn’t have to rely on them for everything.

Wang Lin has always known that his sister-in-law has a plan. He also understands why she didn't express her opinion before. After all, everyone has their own difficulties. He said: "According to national regulations, parents have the responsibility and obligation to raise and educate minors. The Xiang family must not only compensate my younger sister, but also pay for the two children's support. My younger sister, if they don't give you the money, just drag it out and don't divorce. Anyway, they are the ones who are anxious to divorce, not us."

Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we must get the money before we divorce. If they dare to give birth to a son, we will go to the police station and sue them."

Sister Wang was very touched. She was the one who wanted Xiaomei Wang to get a divorce. She didn't know how many brothers and sisters there were, but she knew that Xiaomei had been beaten several times and would be beaten to death if she continued like this.

The whole family discussed it and decided to go to the Xiang family to ask for an explanation the next day.

The Xiang family was not only unwilling to give money at first, but also refused to allow Daya to be taken away. Wang Lin followed the previous agreement and shouted, "Smash it."

Elder Brother Wang and Second Brother Wang brought their son into the house and started smashing things. Xiang Jiang, who ran back to try to stop them, was beaten by Wang Lin.

This time Wang Lin avoided the vital points and also controlled the strength. As for Xiang's father and mother, they were stopped by Wang Dasao and others and could not enter the house.

The Xiang couple cried and shouted, but their neighbors just watched and no one came forward to help them because of their unkind behavior. In the end, it was the village cadres who came to stop them.

Wang Lin told the village cadres: "It's not that we are unreasonable, it's that they want to kill my little sister."

Sister Wang also shouted, "It's not that my little sister couldn't have children when she got married. It's because of national policy that she had to have a sterilization. Now they want a son and force my sister to divorce. If she doesn't divorce, they beat and scold her every day. My sister doesn't have a piece of good flesh on her body now. Secretary, can you give us your judgment? Should this bastard family be beaten?"

Wang Lin exploded when he heard this, and kicked Xiang Jiang so hard that he screamed: "You bastard, you actually dared to hit my sister. Xiang Jiang, if you want to divorce without compensation and child support, I will beat you into a cripple. I want to see who will marry you after you become a cripple."

Thinking about what Wang Lin had done in the past, the two elders of the Xiang family were worried that he would beat their son to a cripple.

Under the mediation of the village cadres, they not only agreed to let Wang's family take Daya away, but also agreed to give her 1,000 yuan. However, they also made a request, that is, they would only give the money to Wang Xiaomei after she obtained a divorce certificate from Xiangjiang District.

Wang Lin also put forward a condition, which was that the Xiang family must write a letter of severance of relationship, and Xiang Jiang must sever the father-daughter relationship with Daya and Erya.

As soon as the Xiang family wanted a grandson, they readily asked Xiang Jiang to write a letter of severance of ties for the sake of the grandson. Afterwards, Xiang Jiang and Wang Xiaomei went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

After getting the divorce certificate, Xiang's family gave Wang Xiaomei one thousand yuan.
