"Actually, what you don't know is that girls from other families aren't like this. Take my family for example. Didn't you just ask if I have the right to make decisions?"
"Let me ask my parents if I have the right to make decisions."
A faint smile played on Lin Wanning's lips as she stared coldly at Liu Xiaohui with her eyes. Before she could even voice her question, Chen Shufen and Lin Guoan, their gazes firm and expressions solemn, told Liu Xiaohui word by word,
"She can make decisions. Our family doesn't prioritize sons over daughters, nor do we only dote on the children who are beneficial to us."
"Yes, we don't raise children just for our old - age support. We want to participate in the growth of a life. When we gave birth to them, we had no other thoughts but to hope that they would live well. Our life experiences would also become richer." Chen Shufen said firmly.
"Moreover, we really don't have much money on us. If you don't believe me, you can go into our room with Lin Bingwen and rummage around. And today, let's split the family."
Chen Shufen's voice had always been gentle, but her gentleness gave an indestructible feeling.
Liu Xiaohui couldn't understand why these people were saying such things. After being in this family for so long, it was the first time she found her mother - in - law so imposing and solemn.
She was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat.
"Do you understand? I don't think you do, because you're so narrow - minded, selfish, and don't like to learn. So you can't understand why some families also love their daughters. You'll never understand."
Lin Wanning's tone was soft, but every word hit home, making Liu Xiaohui's heart ache uncontrollably.
"Let's split the family. We don't have much to divide anyway. Big brother, go and get Mom and Dad's tin box. Didn't the second sister - in - law keep eyeing the money in it? Take it out and show it to her, so that one day she won't plot for our wealth and kill us."
As soon as these words were out, Liu Xiaohui's face burned with shame. It felt as if these words were slaps in the face through the air.
But she was always arrogant. Although she couldn't understand what her mother - in - law and younger sister - in - law had said just now, she still had to put up a fight.
"I knew it. You're just bullying me, an outsider, right? I'm the daughter - in - law from the countryside. I deserve to be bullied, don't I?"
Lin Wanning wanted to laugh seeing that Liu Xiaohui couldn't even argue properly. She wondered how her second brother had fallen for such a person in the first place.
Was it just because of her face? How shallow.
"It's up to you how you think. It has nothing to do with us. But we must split the family today. I'll go find the team leader now. You guys can discuss here first whether you'll stay here or move out separately."
After leaving this sentence, Lin Wanning left directly.
She didn't know that after she left, Liu Xiaohui threw a huge tantrum at home. She even overturned the table. Lin Bingwen couldn't bear this kind of life any longer.
"Either we split the family or we get divorced. You choose one."
Now Lin Bingwen had finally seen things clearly. His wife had a bad character. She could torture him, but if she tortured his whole family, he would feel extremely guilty.
In fact, the matter of their being sent down to the countryside was like a thorn in his heart, which had made him degenerate and sink, pretending not to care at all.
How could he not know that it was his fault that brought this catastrophic disaster to the family.
"You choose." Lin Bingwen had always been afraid to face the situation before. Now that the relationship had been completely torn apart, he mustered up the courage to stand up.
Liu Xiaohui stood there crying and making a fuss. Suddenly seeing her husband so serious, her crying stopped abruptly. She looked at Lin Bingwen in disbelief, "What are you doing? In this situation, it's fine that you don't help me, but why are you joining your family to hurt me?"
Lin Bingwen frowned tightly. If it weren't for so many people being present, he would have slapped her.
"I'm not hurting anyone. I just want to handle this matter cleanly. You either split the family with me and move out, or we go through the divorce procedures."
"Also, don't you always say that my family background is a problem and that I've held you back? Well, I've thought it through today. We can get divorced anytime."
Lin Bingwen looked completely detached. He had always obeyed Liu Xiaohui before. Over the years, he had seen through her.
But as a man, he was still willing to split the family and move out with Liu Xiaohui. In fact, deep down in his heart, he still wanted to give Liu Xiaohui a chance.
As long as she could turn over a new leaf, they could still make do with the life. After all, they had been together for so long, and it wasn't easy.
But in Liu Xiaohui's eyes, she didn't think so at all. Instead, a strong hatred welled up in her heart. In her opinion, Lin Bingwen had been bought over by Lin Wanning.
"Split the family? How much money can you give me?"
Liu Xiaohui was now calculating in her mind. If there was a lot of money, splitting the family might be okay. But if the money was scarce, why should she move out?
She would still have to do all the work, and she and Lin Bingwen would have to rely on themselves for living expenses. Thinking of this, greed shone in Liu Xiaohui's eyes.
"You can't just decide how much to give in this family, can you?"
The anger in Lin Bingwen's heart was ignited again by the unreasonable Liu Xiaohui. "Liu Xiaohui, that's enough!"
He even suspected that Liu Xiaohui was eyeing the little money left in his parents' pockets and would only agree to move out if she could get enough money.
Sure enough, not only was Liu Xiaohui thinking this way, but she even rolled up her sleeves and rushed to his parents' room with Lin Zhiyuan, rummaging through the cabinets.
Actually, she had had this idea for a long time, but there was no suitable opportunity. Now that she had the chance, her greed burst out like a flood.
The whole room was soon turned upside down. "Where's the money? Aren't you capitalists? Don't capitalists have money?"
She tightly held a few banknotes in her hand, her eyes blood - red. She stared at all the Lin family members like a blood - thirsty monster.
"Where did you hide the money?" In fact, Liu Xiaohui had married into the Lin family because she thought they were rich.
Now that she found that the old couple was as poor as a church mouse, she was naturally panicked. Not to mention anything else, she definitely had to move out of this family. And Lin Bingwen's attitude towards her had changed so much.
After this incident, it was even more so.
The angrier she got, the more crazily Liu Xiaohui rummaged in the main room. Even though she already had the answer in her heart, she didn't want to admit it.
But what she didn't know was that the more she struggled, the more pitiful the whole family would feel for her.
All the Lin family members knew that Liu Xiaohui was an ignorant person. Most of the time, they were tolerant towards her. But now...
