Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 36 - Leaving

36: Chapter 36 Leaving

36 -36 Leaving

“I won’t let go!

Big sister, can you just listen to me this once?” Lin Dong had decided, especially in front of the neighbors, he couldn’t allow his elder sister to do anything out of line, lest the spit from the neighbors’ gossip could drown her.

Their stalemate continued, and Lin Qiu, still in the kitchen, reached out her arms trying to hold back Lin Aiguo and Lin Chun, but she couldn’t get close enough.

She sobbed,

“Dad!

Isn’t it enough that I’ll obey?

I’ll apologize to them; I’ll go to the soy sauce factory tomorrow, please don’t beat up my big brother and sister!”

The words of Lin Qiu, at that moment, how could Lin Aiguo listen?

His head was filled with only one thought—he had to subdue that brat Lin Xia!

“Get the hell out of my way!” Lin Aiguo glared, kicking Lin Chun several times, but he stubbornly refused to let go.

Seeing Lin Xia and the others leave the house, with a twist of his body, he tried to follow, but Lin Chun grabbed him again.

Lin Chun shouted loudly, “Dad!” At the same time, he took another harsh kick to his leg.

Gasping for breath, Lin Aiguo pointed directly at Lin Chun’s nose and scolded, “So, you think you’ve grown strong, Lin Chun?

Now you dare to defy me like this?”

His eldest son was full of strength, resisting him so that it was no small conflict!

Seizing the moment when Lin Chun let go, trying to explain, Lin Aiguo managed to get outside, and he shouted at Lin Xia, “I don’t care what it takes; I must beat some sense into you today!”

After cursing, Lin Aiguo noticed that there were still outsiders in the courtyard.

In front of the neighbors, he somewhat reined in his furious rage, “Every single one of you is a damn headache!”

Qian Chunli and her daughters had followed outside as well, standing under the eaves like spectators.

Lin Qiang and Lin Yu exchanged gleeful looks and small gestures, to the delight of the disaster at hand.

Qian Chunli, noticing there were still neighbors by the door, hesitated about whether she should go up and pull them apart.

Aunt Jin approached Lin Chun and shielded him behind her, “Old Lin, what in the world are you doing?

The kids are already so big.

If they make mistakes, they should be criticized and taught, not beaten!”

“Aunt Jin, it really isn’t about beating for the sake of it, but just look at this situation,” spat Lin Aiguo on the ground, “I told them to apologize to their aunt and everyone, but does any of them listen to me?”

“This is clearly… how can we…” Lin Chun found himself at a loss for words, how did all the wrongs end up being their fault?

Lin Xia glared at Lin Aiguo with anger, “We did nothing wrong!

Why should we apologize?

It was clearly they who stole things, and it was they who caused Xiaoqiu’s arm injury!

Why should we be the ones to apologize in the end!

Is there no justice?” If it weren’t for Lin Dong holding onto her waist tightly, refusing to let go, she would have truly wanted to fight Lin Aiguo.

Seeing Lin Xia outspokenly declare the entire incident in front of all the neighbors present, allowing them to hear everything firsthand which might affect how they talk behind their backs, Lin Aiguo became even more infuriated.

Pointing at Lin Xia, he burst into a tirade, “Look at you, still calling it ‘stealing’ at every turn.

We’re all family; does borrowing some food count as stealing?

Is it not right for me to ask you to apologize?

You think you’re tough now?

Do you defy me, the law of the land?”

Lin Xia stood defiantly, her eyes full of resistance.

Lin Dong held onto her waist tightly, not daring to relax for a second.

It was only then that Qian Chunli stepped forward to mediate, “Aiguo, please calm down.

Why not let it go, we’re all family here.

Since I am the eldest, I should not be petty with these younger ones… after all, Xiaoyu and Qiangzi are also very generous kids…”

Lin Aiguo’s demeanor softened a bit but remained resolute, “That’s not acceptable!

You must apologize to them!

Otherwise, don’t even think about staying in this house!

Day by day, you don’t even know the first thing about respect, you clueless good-for-nothings!”

Qian Chunli dabbed the corners of her eyes, sighing with self-pity, “Alas!

Who made me the stepmother, not the real mother, it’s never enough!

If it were their real mother, this definitely wouldn’t happen…”

The neighbors like Aunt Jin sneered disdainfully; Qian Chunli was indeed quite the actress.

They lived nearby, everyone knew everyone!

Lin Aiguo couldn’t help but seethe with anger at the mention of Yu Wanhua, “Don’t talk about that damn old woman!

Bad luck!”

Lin Xia’s mind was no longer capable of staying calm; the memories that made her teeth grind in hatred were swirling before her eyes,

“Don’t you dare speak ill of my mom!

What right do you have to talk about her!

She passed away less than a month ago, and you two were already together!

You must have been fooling around even before!

You think we don’t know?”

Hearing the words his older sister blurted out, Lin Chun’s eyes filled with sorrow; he was older than Lin Xia and the others, so he understood some things even more clearly.

“Who are you calling shameless!

What do you know!

I’m going to beat you today, you unfilial thing!” Lin Aiguo was truly enraged.

The accusations Lin Xia hurled in front of strangers completely stripped away his dignity; he looked around for something handy to hit her with.

Lin Chun hurriedly held him back, preventing him from finding the chance to strike!

Lin Xia showed no sign of backing down, “Go ahead!

Beat me to death…” Lin Dong hurried to cover Lin Xia’s mouth, but once he let go, Lin Xia broke free, “Then don’t expect to have it easy afterward!”

Lin Aiguo, infuriated to the point of wishing he could kill her, could do nothing because Lin Chun was holding him back.

All he could do was yell hoarsely, “Get the hell out of here!

This family has no room for you!”

“I’ll leave, you think I even want to stay in this broken home!” Lin Xia was indeed determined, she had deliberately confronted Lin Aiguo!

No matter how the incident unfolded, Lin Aiguo didn’t even discuss it with Lin Yu and Lin Qiang, yet he demanded that they apologize to him.

Why should they?

She really didn’t want Lin Qiu and the others to stay in this family any longer; this was the perfect opportunity to break off and leave.

Otherwise, the end result might very well be Lin Qiu compromising and going to work at the soy sauce factory tomorrow, and the rest of them subsequently having to live with their tails between their legs.

Neither option was what she wanted!

“Good riddance!

Get the fuck out!

If you starve to death, don’t even think about stepping foot in my house again!”

While Lin Chun held back the enraged Lin Aiguo, he shouted at Lin Xia, “Lin Xia!

What are you trying to do?

Dad is just speaking out of anger, why are you being so stubborn!”

Even if their dad told them to leave, they couldn’t just go.

If they left, where would they go?

Aunt Jin also hurried to advise, “Lin Xia, you can’t talk back to your dad like that!

Say something soft and smooth things over, apologize to your dad!”

Although she knew that old man Lin was unfair and that stepmother wasn’t any easy character, where could they go after leaving their home late at night?

But Lin Xia didn’t care what anyone else said; she was determined to stick to her decision, she said vehemently, “Big brother, it’s not that I want to be stubborn.

Can’t you see it now?

He considers those few his family now.

What are we in his eyes?

Mom was with him for so many years, and after her death, not a single good word…”

“Let her get the hell out of here!

Quick!

Who’s going to stop her?

Whoever does can leave with her; getting a bit too cocky, all of you, I raised you for nothing…” Lin Aiguo cursed while trying to hit Lin Xia.

Seeing this, Lin Chun had no choice but to shout, “Lin Xia!

Can you stop talking for a moment!

What’s gotten into you today?” He really couldn’t understand why his older sister had become like this!
