Chen Cuihua didn’t say anything or try to stop him.

She knew she couldn’t persuade him.

Lin Yongye had been holding in his anger for too long; it was bound to explode one day.

What was the use of trying to persuade him?

It would only suppress it for a moment.

She held little Lin Liuye and covered her eyes to shield her from the sight.

Lin Dajiang and Lin Dahe hesitated for a moment but quickly came to their senses.

The two ten-year-olds weren’t so young anymore, and they tried to stop him.

“Dad, don’t be impulsive!”

“Dad…”

Lin Yongye was blinded by hatred, his mind filled with thoughts of killing Lin Yongjia.

He didn’t hear any other voices as he brandished the knife and charged toward the main house.

“Second son, what have I done to deserve this!”

“Put down the knife, let’s talk things over…”

Old Mrs. Lin wept as she clung to Lin Yongye’s arm. “Please, put down the knife… Please, just put it down… Let’s not do anything rash!”

“Second son, don’t do anything foolish. Let’s talk this through, please… I’m begging you, don’t touch the knife…”

Old Man Lin was genuinely terrified of him now.

This beast had come to collect a debt.

He should have drowned him back then!!

Lin Yongye had gone mad as soon as he returned, and Old Man Lin couldn’t help but blame Lin Yongcheng, accusing him of not handling things properly, not thinking about the family.

If he cared about the family, he should have helped keep Lin Yongye in the dark and not told him the truth.

Old Man Lin regretted it so much!

These two little beasts were only here to collect their debts. They shouldn’t have been born!

Lin Yongye looked at them coldly and sneered, “Now you’re begging me? It’s too late!”

Inside the house, Lin Yongjia was trembling in fear.

He locked the door and even moved a table and wardrobe to block it, but he was still afraid. He didn’t dare speak, fearing it would anger Lin Yongye.

He glanced at his wife.

In a low voice, he said, “Why isn’t Liu Zhi stopping Lin Yongye? Why isn’t she trying to hold him back? You should ask her to stop him from coming here!”

Lin Yongye was angry. If he got into the house, blood would be shed.

Lin Liu Zhi was just a daughter, and he didn’t care for her.

If Lin Yongye killed her, he wouldn’t have to compete with her for work or his father’s money.

Sacrificing a daughter for Lin Yongye’s life was worth it.

Look, this was the result of Old Man Lin and Old Mrs. Lin’s indulgence.

They spoiled this son, exploited the other children to support him, and this is what they got.

For a job and the family fortune, they would sacrifice a daughter’s life.

Old Man Lin even called Lin Yongye and Lin Yongcheng little beasts. But the real beast in the house was inside.

Sooner or later, it would come back to haunt both of them.

“Liu Zhi…” Li Xiaofen paused, unwilling to accept it, “She’s just ten, how can a little girl stop him? The parents should stop him.”

Even though she didn’t like her daughter, she was still her own child.

At ten years old, a girl could do a lot of work. In a few more years, she would be married off.

Compared to her daughter, Li Xiaofen was more concerned about something happening to Old Mrs. Lin!

This couple with evil hearts was no good!

Outside, Old Man Lin and Old Mrs. Lin couldn’t stop Lin Yongye anymore. In his prime, and filled with rage, there was no way the two old people could hold him back.

He brought the knife to the door of Lin Yongjia’s room.

“Lin Yongjia, come out here!”

The knife struck the door, causing the wooden door to shake. Lin Yongye kicked it twice, but it didn’t work, as there were too many heavy objects inside blocking it.

“You won’t open the door, huh? Fine, I’ll wait outside!”

“I’ll see how long you can stay inside!”

He struck the door twice more, leaving deep gashes.

His cold eyes scanned the yard, and he saw Lin Dahai and Lin Dayang peeking from the hall. Lin Yongye sneered again.

“You won’t come out, huh? No problem, your two little brats are still outside. Let’s see if they can withstand a blow from me!”

“Don’t touch them!” Li Xiaofen screamed, alarmed at the thought of her sons being harmed. “Lin Yongye, don’t involve the children in adult matters!”

She rushed to open the door.

Before she could move the wardrobe, Lin Yongjia grabbed her by the hair and slapped her across the face.

His voice was low and menacing, “Get out of the way!”

Those were his only two sons, Lin Yongjia would never let them go.

But compared to his own future, what were the lives of the two sons worth? Once he was in the city with money, he could always have more children.

Li Xiaofen fell to the ground, and quickly understood his meaning.

She had been married to him for twelve years and had four children, but he had already considered abandoning his eldest daughter and now even the two sons.

Maybe the next thing he would sacrifice would be her.

This man was a beast!

He could throw away his own flesh and blood, and now he wanted to trample on them to remove Lin Yongye.

Once he became successful, he could marry a younger woman and have more children.

He was dreaming!

Li Xiaofen rose from the ground, ready to fight Lin Yongjia.

“Lin Yongjia, you beast! You haven’t even gone to work in the city, and you already want to abandon your wife and children! I’ll open the door for Lin Yongye, and if we have to die, we die together!”

“What do you know, woman?”

Inside, the couple began to fight.

One wanted to open the door for Lin Yongye, the other was trying to stop it.

“Ugh… truly a good son raised by the old man,” Lin Yongye sneered at the noise inside, glancing at Old Man Lin. “Dad, are you happy now? Lin Yongjia really takes after you, you old beast!”

Old Man Lin was furious.

In all his years, he had never been insulted like this, and by his own son, no less. But no matter how angry he was, he still had to be cautious of Lin Yongye’s knife.

“Do you really want to push things to the extreme?”

“You’re the one pushing things to the extreme!”

“I don’t know what the third son told you, but what I promised you is still true. The next job opportunity will be yours!”

“Stop spouting nonsense!” Lin Yongye didn’t give him an ounce of face and spat, “You’re so generous with Lin Yongjia. You give him 400 yuan for a job, while I stay home, working like an ox, supporting you and him and his family?”

At the mention of the 400 yuan, the yard suddenly fell silent.

Inside Lin Yongjia’s room, everything was quiet too.

Lin Dajian and Lin Dahe immediately stopped trying to stop Lin Yongye from going to the city.

Old Man Lin had emptied their savings to send Lin Yongye to the city, but was it worth it?

Should they just kill him instead?

Otherwise, would the family just starve?

Chen Cuihua was holding Lin Liuyue, staring at them with an expressionless face.

Old Man Lin cursed Lin Yongcheng again in his heart, blaming him for causing the chaos.

If Lin Yongye went mad today, it was all because of that little beast, Lin Yongcheng!

“These four hundred yuan, I saved them for you” Lin Yongye spoke again.

“I will definitely take revenge from him. When Lin Yongjia dies, After that, your will only have the third son left. Who knows if the third son will care for you when you get old?”

“The children of the big house won’t help taking care of you. You’ve driven me to my death today. When you get old, my wife and kids won’t care for you, and the third son’s wife won’t serve you either. The eldest daughter-in-law might even remarry. Then, when the time comes…”

When the time comes, you two old folks will be left to suffer.

Tsk… so pitiful!

A single sentence made the elderly couple realize: if both Lin Yongjia and Lin Yongye were gone, they could only rely on Lin Yongcheng.

But could they actually rely on him?

If they could, they wouldn’t have split the family over the white fungus.

Old Man Lin and Old Woman Lin were both defeated.

Old Woman Lin whispered, “Old man… maybe we should let it go and not worry about the work anymore!”

If both sons were gone, their daughters-in-law remarried and took the grandchildren with them, and Lin Yongcheng had no children, their family would really be extinct.

They couldn’t risk being left without anyone to take care of them or let the family line die just because of a job.

Compared to the future of having someone to support them in their old age or ending their family line, Lin Yongjia not getting the job wouldn’t kill them.

Old Woman Lin quickly made up her mind.

Old Man Lin’s eyes filled with tears.

A great opportunity for their descendants to rise had been ruined by Lin Yongye, that beast! He hated it!

“Alright, no one is going to the city anymore!”

He walked away dejectedly, not even bothering to pay attention to Lin Yongye.

Old Woman Lin glared at Lin Yongye and shouted, “Are you satisfied now?”

“What’s there to be satisfied with?” Lin Yongye was ready to risk his life, so why should he care about his parents?

He had no fear now. “Do you still have the face to blame me? Didn’t you start all this? It was you who emptied your savings to buy a job for Lin Yongjia!”

If there’s blame to be placed, it’s because you two are too biased!

Lin Yongjia’s job opportunity was ruined, and not only was the second house satisfied, but so was Li Xiaofen.

This beast was willing to sacrifice his child just to get into the city—he was unreliable!

When he got rich, they wouldn’t benefit from it either. It would be better to let him farm for the rest of his life.

Life might be tough, but whose family isn’t going through such hardships?

The only ones truly dissatisfied were Lin Yongjia and his elderly parents.

When Lin Yongjia heard the news that the job was gone, it was as if his soul had left his body.

He couldn’t sleep all night, tossing and turning, and by midnight, he simply gave up on sleeping.

He quietly went to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, and knocked on Old Man Lin’s door.

That night, aside from a few children, who could really sleep?

Living in the same courtyard, the noise of Lin Yongjia opening the door immediately alerted Lin Yongye.

He quickly got up, and through the window, saw Lin Yongjia going into the kitchen.

When he came out again, holding something shiny, he immediately became alert.

He pushed a table to block the door and went to the window to keep watch.

When he saw Lin Yongjia standing outside Old Man Lin’s door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the relief didn’t last long.

Lin Yongjia wasn’t giving up, still taking a knife to threaten the old couple in the middle of the night. He grew even more cautious!
