Chapter 58 I'll take the blame for being unfilial.
The four of them rushed to Lin Hai's house at the foot of the mountain, only to find that the thatched house that had stood alone before was now piled with things.
Bricks, tiles, and timber were piled up everywhere, and several workers were digging the foundation with hoes.
Grandma Lin and the other three were dumbfounded: "What, what are you doing?"
"Mother, did we go to the wrong place?" Li asked, her mouth agape.
"What's wrong with it? It's just this thatched hut!" Lin Herui glared at her. Then she asked疑惑地, "What are they doing?"
"Lin Hai, come out here!" Old Mrs. Lin didn't respond, but instead started calling out to Lin's father.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping looked up and asked, "What do those people do? I think they're called 'boss'?"
Zhang Qingfeng also saw the four people and thought, "Oh no! Why are these people here!"
He quickly instructed Li Ping and the others, "Keep an eye on these people, I'll go get Uncle Hai."
"Hey, good."
Zhang Qingfeng hurriedly ran to another pit to call Lin Hai.
Seeing him rushing around, Sister Zhang asked, "Husband? What are you doing?"
"The Lin family is here!" Zhang Qingfeng exclaimed without stopping.
Aunt Zhang stamped her foot, "What?! This is terrible news!"
"Uncle Hai! Uncle Hai! Your mother and the others are here."
Lin's father suddenly raised his head, his brows furrowed, put down his hoe, and followed Zhang Qingfeng out.
.......
At this moment, there were four people, including Old Mrs. Lin.
"What are you doing?" Li asked the workers.
"Can't you see? I'm digging a hole!"
"Why are you digging a hole?" Li had some ideas in mind, but she couldn't believe it and still asked.
The worker rolled his eyes at her. "What else could we be doing? Preparing to build a house! Can't you see all these bricks and tiles?"
"Building a house! Building a house! They're actually going to build a house!" Li muttered in disbelief.
Then he turned around and ran towards Old Mrs. Lin, shouting as he ran:
"Mother! Mother! Something terrible has happened! The eldest son's family is going to build a house, a brick and tile house!"
"What?! Big Brother's family is really going to build a house?!" Lin Herui and Lin Fang exclaimed at the same time.
Lin Herui's face was contorted with rage as she recalled how she had met Lin Yan the day before, and she was now consumed by unbearable jealousy.
"Hmph, so what! You have money but don't give it to me! You actually spent money to build a house!" At this moment, Old Mrs. Lin had forgotten that she had come to seek justice for her daughter; all she could think about was how much money the Lin family had.
"Why are you all here?" Lin's father looked at the four of them, this time not even calling them "Mother," and his expression was not friendly.
"Well, Lin Hai, you've built brick houses here! Do you know what your parents are suffering? Do you even care about your parents?" Old Mrs. Lin, her face covered in rashes, pointed at Lin Hai and cursed him angrily.
“When we divided the family property, we didn’t ask for anything. Our condition was that we didn’t have to support our parents. You also signed the letter severing ties. If there’s nothing else, go back home. Don’t come here again. We’re not welcome here!” Lin’s father was completely disappointed in these relatives.
Hearing her eldest son utter such heartless words, Old Mrs. Lin was completely stunned.
"What?! Big brother, how dare you talk to Mother like that?! What do you mean we're not welcome?!" Lin Herui was also extremely shocked.
"It means exactly what it says, you're not welcome." Lin's father gave her a cold look.
Lin Herui was startled by that cold gaze. "You, you..."
"Brother Hai!" When Lin's mother heard that Old Madam Lin had arrived, she quickly followed and grabbed Lin's father's arm to stop him from saying anything more.
"Oh, you! Ah! Oh dear! Ah! I shouldn't have given birth to you, I'm such a sinner! How could I have given birth to such an unfilial son!" This was the first time that Old Mrs. Lin had been treated so coldly by her eldest son, and she completely broke down.
Mr. Lin's eyes flickered, but after glancing at Mrs. Lin beside him, he said nothing.
"Brother, how could you do this! We are your blood relatives! That can't be changed!"
"Blood relatives, huh. This is how blood relatives come to my house and cause trouble, preventing us from having a peaceful life." Lin's father sneered, his tone full of sorrow.
He glanced at the craftsmen surrounding him and the villagers who had come with Old Lady Lin to watch the spectacle, and thought to himself with sarcasm, "Your own mother, your own brother, your own sister, hate them so much that you want to ruin his family's reputation."
"Big brother!" Lin Fang felt he couldn't handle the situation and instinctively called out "Big brother."
Lin's father merely glanced at him without even responding.
"If you want the blessing of filial piety from your children and grandchildren, you still have the children and grandchildren of your second wife. Or, you could keep your most beloved daughter by your side to fulfill her filial duties. At least you still dote on Lin Jie, but my Ayan and Ayu have never received the slightest bit of your favoritism." Lin's father said, his voice trembling.
When Lin's mother heard him talk about his child, she felt a surge of grievance and tears welled up in her eyes. She held Lin's father's hand even tighter.
“Back then, I gave you all the money I earned from working, but I couldn’t even afford my wife and daughter’s medical expenses. When Ayan was dying, you refused to call a doctor.”
"Once something happens, you can't wait to kick us out, as if you're afraid of getting into any trouble." Lin's father's eyes also reddened as he spoke.
"Later, when you saw that Yan'er made some money selling dried fruit, you came to our door demanding it back. Now, you're saying that we've mistreated you."
“Yes, we are going to mistreat you. I can tell you, from now on, none of you will get the slightest advantage from me. I will bear the stigma of being unfilial!” Lin’s father said, each word more certain and resolute than the last.
Grandma Lin and the others felt a buzzing in their heads and could not hear any other sounds.
The onlookers were in an uproar.
"No wonder everyone was talking about the Lin family splitting up when we first arrived. It turns out there was such a hidden story. The landlord's life hasn't been easy either!" Li Ping exclaimed in shock.
"They don't even cherish someone as good as Miss Lin, they deserve to have such a miserable life." Zhang Peng was a die-hard fan of Lin Yan and couldn't stand anyone talking about her.
"Let's not gossip about the master." Zhang Lei, an honest and steady man, cut off the conversation.
"But what's this old lady doing here? Is she trying to stop us from building the house?"
"That won't do. If we quit this job, where will we find such good treatment?"
"Keep an eye on things, don't let the boss get bullied!"
"That's right, there are more of us than we are, so why should we be afraid of those few old and weak people!"
Li Deshan did indeed frown upon hearing this.
Grandma Lin muttered in disbelief, "You really don't recognize me as your mother anymore?! He doesn't recognize me!"
As she spoke, she staggered and almost fainted.
"Mother!" Lin Herui and Lin Fang quickly helped her up.
Grandma Lin lay on Lin Fang's body, sobbing and groaning.
"Brother, how could you say such heartless things!" Lin Herui cried, hugging the old lady Lin.
Lin Hai was startled at first, glanced at the old lady's condition, but turned his head away and did not look at them.
Li was furious. She didn't care whether Lin Hai acknowledged her as his mother or not; he would definitely have plenty of money at his house. She was determined to get some money for herself.
