Chapter 39: Getting Revenge, Lin Xiaodou Goes to the Countryside

Amid Wu Ya’s screaming,
Lin Zhengmin forcefully locked her in the next room.

“If you keep causing trouble, I’ll have Xiaohao’s internship terminated immediately!”

Xiaohao was Wu Ya’s eldest brother’s son, currently interning at a hospital. He had just gotten engaged to a girl from a decent family.

If he lost his internship, the engagement would surely fall apart.

Wu Ya loved this nephew the most, even more than she had once favored Lin Xuefei.

Even if she didn’t care about her own family, she couldn’t bear to lose this nephew.

As expected, upon hearing this, Wu Ya became even more agitated:

“Lin Zhengmin, you heartless bastard! If you dare mess with Xiaohao, I’ll fight you to the death!”

The two kept shouting at each other inside the room.

Outside the room, Lin Xiaodou was openly listening while eating a handful of peanuts.

Lin Xuefei, dressed and looking full of resentment, stomped out:

“Sis, it’s you who forced me into a dead end. I’ve lost all my innocence.
Seeing me like this, aren’t you happy?”

Lin Xiaodou tossed a peanut into her mouth and smiled.

“What nonsense are you talking? Was it me who forced you to seduce Lin Zhengmin?
People like you are the worst—you always blame others for your mistakes and never think it could be your own fault!”

Lin Xuefei gritted her teeth: “I’ve been punished enough for my mistakes. Can you just let me go now?”

Lin Xiaodou said firmly: “No way. As long as Wu Ya doesn’t agree to take the blame, I’m still going to Professor Wang’s house tonight.”

Lin Xuefei glared at her angrily and then went to discuss with Lin Zhengmin.

Soon after, crying and wailing came from the room.

Lin Zhengmin had started beating Wu Ya, trying to force her to take the blame.

Wu Ya never imagined that one day her model husband would throw punches at her over a woman.

She never thought that woman would be the foster daughter she had doted on for 17 years.

Memories of their past warmth flooded her mind, making the irony unbearable.

She truly regretted it.

Why was she so blind to love an outsider so much?

If only she had given Lin Xiaodou some motherly love back then, maybe everything would have been different.

But unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Ah, how much she hated it all!

“Wuwuwu, Lin Zhengmin, Lin Xuefei, I curse you two scumbags to die miserable deaths!”

Wu Ya screamed fiercely with a twisted face.

What followed was an even harsher beating.

Listening to the noise inside the room, Lin Xiaodou just found it laughable.

Some men really would do anything for a pretty face.

Maybe because too many things had happened these days, one after another caught Lin Zhengmin off guard.

That’s why this usually calm man had completely lost his mind.

This farce was almost over; it was time to end it.

Lin Xiaodou went out for a moment.

Soon, she returned with a group of enthusiastic older men and women into the yard.

“Wuwuwu, I heard my dad hitting my mom. Mom was crying terribly. Please help me persuade my dad!”

Those living in the southern district of the capital were mostly wealthy or influential families.

Upon hearing there was trouble at Deputy Director Lin’s home, everyone rushed over to help (or watch).

As soon as they entered the living room, they heard the sounds of beating and screams from upstairs.

Someone frowned: “What’s wrong with Deputy Director Lin? He usually looks so mild-mannered, how come he’s beating his wife now?”

Someone else ordered: “You all quickly go upstairs to mediate, and I’ll call the neighborhood committee director to come and help resolve this.”

“Okay!” Everyone nodded in agreement and began to take action.

Soon, Wu Ya, who had been beaten, was rescued.

Seeing so many people around, Wu Ya lost her temper and blurted out all the horrible things her husband and foster daughter had done to her.

Coincidentally, the neighborhood committee director arrived hurriedly.

Upon hearing Wu Ya’s accusations, everyone was shocked.

Oh my god, Deputy Director Lin was really shameless enough to do such a beastly thing!

They had been neighbors for so many years but never suspected he was this kind of man!

Surrounding them were looks of contempt and disgust.

Lin Zhengmin felt his head explode; it was all over.

Everything was ruined!

It was all because of that bitch Wu Ya!

His eyes quickly filled with tears.

He lunged forward, about to slap Wu Ya.

“Ah!!”

Everyone gasped, some still not fully reacting.

Luckily, the street committee director was quick and sharp, pulling Wu Ya away just in time.

Lin Zhengmin missed his target and ended up sprawled on the ground like a dog licking dirt.

Blood instantly poured from both his nostrils.

An angry older woman rushed over and gave him a fierce kick.

“You coward! Beating a woman isn’t heroism at all. You’ve done such a shameless thing and still think you’re right?!”

Lin Zhengmin looked miserable as he was taken away.

Lin Xuefei, hiding in the corner, was also dragged out.

During Wu Ya’s accusations, besides exposing the disgusting things Lin Xuefei and Lin Zhengmin did, she also revealed how Lin Xuefei had crashed into Professor Wang’s child with her bike.

The neighbors all knew about the incident at Professor Wang’s house.

Hearing that Lin Xuefei was responsible for the child’s death, everyone was furious.

Immediately, a feisty older woman grabbed her by the hair and started dragging her out.

Lin Xuefei screamed in pain, tears streaming down her face.

She kept shouting it wasn’t her fault, blaming Lin Xiaodou for ruining her.

Lin Xiaodou shed a few fake tears and was about to wail to prove her innocence.

Before she could, a quick-tongued older woman beside her started cursing:

“You shameless vixen, occupying someone else’s good life for 17 years, then doing wrong and blaming others—never seen someone so disgusting!”

This hit Lin Xuefei speechless.

In the end, she was dragged away, her face ashen.

After the crowd dispersed, Wu Ya quickly got up and headed out.

She wanted to visit her family to tell her older brother everything that had happened today so they could prepare.

The scandal today was huge, and her family would definitely be affected.

Passing by Lin Xiaodou, Wu Ya paused for a moment.

For this strange daughter,

Wu Ya’s feelings were complicated.

At first, she hated her.

Hated how she had ruined what seemed like a perfect family.

But now, she also wanted to thank her.

If not for her, she might never have seen her husband’s true face.

But if she were to thank her, her pride wouldn’t allow it.

Because she really just couldn’t bring herself to like this daughter.

Wu Ya took a deep breath and turned away without looking back.

That’s how it would be.

From now on, they would live without interfering with each other, each going their own way.

…

The medical Lin family scandal quickly spread throughout the entire Jing City.

Everyone in their circle was shaken by the news.

The city’s top hospital immediately dismissed Deputy Director Lin Zhengmin and suspended Nurse Wu Ya for investigation.

Lin Zhengmin, for the terrible influence and corrupting social morals, was sentenced to 10 years of forced labor on the frontier.

Lin Xuefei, for the accidental fatal hit-and-run, was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment, life behind bars.

When the male protagonist finally used connections to get out of jail, he heard the news.

He was furious, feeling that Lin Zhengmin had wronged his woman.

So, on the train sending Lin Zhengmin to the borderlands, he stabbed him repeatedly with a dagger.

More than twenty times, stabbing him to death.

The male protagonist was caught by the police on the spot and later sentenced to death.

The Lin family’s medical legacy—some died, some went to prison, and even Chen Ma left.

In the end, only Wu Ya and Lin Xiaodou remained.

But peaceful days didn’t last long before the Lin family was robbed.

Except for the house, everything else was gone.

Even the toilet paper in the bathroom was stolen.

Wu Ya was utterly helpless and went to her natal home for help.

But the elder brother’s family, who had once flattered her a lot, now beat her up mercilessly.

“Get back to your Lin family! It’s your fault for exposing your husband’s scandal that brought disaster to our Wu family!”

Wu Ya was so furious at her natal family’s cold-heartedness that she collapsed.

Lying in bed with no one to care for her, coughing blood day after day, her remaining days were extremely miserable.

Someone asked: Didn’t she still have a daughter?

On the very night Wu Ya returned from her natal home,

Lin Xiaodou boarded the train to the countryside, resolute and determined.

She had avenged her original owner’s grudges.

Next, she would live for herself.

She wanted to find a place where no one knew her and live quietly.

As for that troublesome sickly biological mother?

Bye bye, you’re on your own—I’m not taking care of you!
