The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 11 Grandpa Lin

The next morning, Lin Yan returned from her cultivation in the mountains and saw her second uncle, Lin Fang, and a middle-aged man helping an old man into the Lin family home. Lin Yan frowned and went home as well.

After she entered the courtyard, she saw Lin's parents, the second wife, and the old couple gathered in the main room. Lin Yu, who was standing nearby, saw her and waved to her.

"Sister, you are back."

Lin Yan: "What are they doing?"

Lin Yu: "They said that Fourth Grandfather has arrived. He is the eldest in the Lin family and is Grandfather's fourth brother. He is accompanied by his eldest son, Lin Chao."

After saying that, he frowned and said with some worry, "It must be about our family splitting up!"

After listening, Lin Yan didn't say anything and stood near the door listening to the sounds inside.

The old man was indeed trying to persuade the father not to divide the family property.

Grandpa Lin said in a calm tone, "Your parents have already told me about this matter. I've also heard their opinions. They said you're thinking of separating from the family and living on your own. Your mother told me you're unfilial."

But I know you, you've always been kind and honest. I don't believe what she said. I want to hear your thoughts on dividing the family property.

Lin's father sighed, "Fourth Uncle, living together is too unfair to A-Yun and the children. If I were on my own, I would give all the money I earn to my family."

However, A-Yun is in poor health and has had to see a doctor and take medicine frequently over the years. But when I need the money I earn, my mother never has any. A few days ago, Yan'er was seriously ill, and her grandmother refused to spend money to hire a doctor. Fortunately, Yan'er survived, otherwise I really don't know what I would have done.

Moreover, the mother and daughter were constantly assigned chores for the whole family, never having a moment's rest, yet they were still frequently scolded by the mother.

Old Mrs. Lin said angrily, "Look at any family, whose daughter-in-law doesn't do housework? What's the point of having her if she doesn't do housework? Besides, how can this family survive? All that money went to medicine, how can we live like this?! I work so hard for this family, how can it all be my fault?!"

Lin Herui also complained, "That's right, all we ask them to do is some housework, and they can't even do it well. Last time, Lin Yan threw my clothes by the river and they almost got lost."

When Uncle Lin heard Old Madam Lin and Lin He Rui talking like that, he frowned, clearly displeased. He said to Old Master Lin, "Fourth brother, is what Hai Ge'er said true? If it is, what you're doing is not good! No wonder the eldest son's family wants to separate."

Old Man Lin blushed, feeling ashamed at being spoken to by his brother. He yelled at Old Madam Lin and Lin He Rui, "Shut up!"

Uncle Lin continued, "I remember you used to value the eldest son very much. The eldest son's wife was a good match that you went to great lengths to find in other villages."

Nobody wanted him to injure his leg in the first place. It's one thing if you don't care about him, but if you mistreat him and his children because of it, he'll definitely be heartbroken. This isn't how a family should act.

He then looked at Lin Herui and said seriously, "Especially you parents, how can you be so obviously biased towards one side when it comes to your children! It's fine to love your daughter, but you can't only love your daughter!"

Grandma Lin snorted and turned her head away, clearly not taking what he said seriously.

Uncle Lin then advised Father Lin: "As for you, Hai-ge, not everything in this world can be measured by black and white, especially among family members. Every family will inevitably have disagreements, but easily dividing the family will also hurt your parents' feelings."

Besides, look at this village, those who separated their families while their parents were still alive are mostly those with many sibling conflicts and who are unfilial to their parents. Everyone in the village speaks ill of them. If you separate your family, your reputation in the village will suffer.

"Moreover, after the family splits up, you will have to take on the responsibility of caring for your wife and children on your own. Your family members are not in good health, and if you go out to work, there will be no one to take care of the family."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll have your parents promise that they'll set aside money for you to buy medicine for the eldest son's family in the future, two hundred coins a month. And you can stop talking about separating the family now."

"What?! Two hundred coins!" Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Li both exclaimed. "If we spend two hundred coins every month to buy medicine for that sickly child, how are we supposed to live?!" Old Mrs. Lin felt as if a piece of her own flesh had been ripped out.

"That's right, why should we give them an extra two hundred coins every month!" Li Shi also said indignantly.

"I think I earned more than two hundred coins!" Lin's father's face darkened when he heard his mother scolding his wife again.

Uncle Lin also spoke up: "Hmph! You all know in your hearts that the money is mainly earned by the eldest brother. When we share the profits, you are the ones who benefit. How dare you say such things!"

"Fourth brother, what do you say?" Uncle Lin asked Old Master Lin.

"Sigh! Let's do it this way!" Old Master Lin sighed and replied with his head down.

"Alright, that's settled then. The money we earn should be left for the eldest brother's needs; he doesn't need to hand it over! As for his wife's health, take good care of her and don't let her do heavy work. You two should write me a guarantee. Eldest brother, don't bring up the matter of dividing the family property again!"

"Oh no!!! I can't live anymore! How can I live like this! I've worked so hard for my children, and they all bully me! Lin Hai, you don't treat me like your mother anymore!!" Old Mrs. Lin was still sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), slapping her thigh and crying out, clearly still unwilling to accept it!

Lin Herui pouted but didn't say anything. Li Shi looked unwilling, but Lin Lao Er pulled her sleeve, preventing her from speaking.

Seeing her father's conflicted expression, Lin Yan felt a little anxious. She hoped her adoptive father wouldn't give in, since they were her biological parents and wouldn't be so easily abandoned.

"Ah! What are those people doing?!" Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise, pointing to one side. Lin Yan looked out of the courtyard in the direction he pointed. She saw Fu Bo leading seventeen or eighteen people, walking towards them menacingly. The villagers along the way were pointing and whispering among themselves.

A villager went up to ask him something, but was shoved aside by Fu Bo's henchmen. Seeing this, the rest of the village scattered like birds and beasts, hiding far away and only trailing behind.

Lin Yan's worries vanished instantly, and she thought, "This guy came at just the right time!"

As soon as Fu Bo entered the Lin family's courtyard, he met Lin Yan's gaze. He opened his mouth to speak, then closed it again, looking at her with a questioning gaze.

Lin Yan nodded affirmatively at him, glancing towards the main room.

Fu Bo took a deep breath and kicked open the door to the main room with a clang.

Inside the main room, Old Mrs. Lin was shouting and cursing with great fervor, while Mr. Lin was filled with inner turmoil. Suddenly, a loud bang interrupted everyone's thoughts, and the lively main room instantly fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at Fu Bo and his group.

No one dared to speak.
