Baiyue Cave Master

Chapter 49 Separation

Don’t advise others to do good unless you have experienced their suffering. Wang Yuanchao understood this principle.

Wang Yuanchao would not easily draw conclusions without figuring out the whole story.

Sure enough, when Lin Lao Er heard the villagers' discussions, he said loudly with a dark face:

"Since so many of you are here, please come and see my eldest and second daughters. Take a closer look at what my mother has done to raise my children."

Wang Yuanchao followed Lin Laoer's finger and saw two tiny kids. They were so hungry that they were just skin and bones. Their eyes were huge, almost taking up one-third of their heads. They were creepy to look at.

The two children's clothes were tattered, and no one knew where they were picked up from. They were covered in black.

Although it is normal to take a bath once a month in Northeast China due to the cold weather,

But the two children were probably covered with several layers of mud, and they looked like orphans without parents. It was so miserable.

"My fellow villagers, I, Lin Jiahao, went to the army eight years ago. From the first year, I received a monthly allowance of 6 yuan. I sent 5 yuan home every month. I did this for three years, 5 yuan a month, and sent 60 yuan a year.

Three years later, I got married to my wife, and my allowance increased to 10 yuan per month.

In order for my wife to live better and eat better at home, I did not keep a penny of my monthly allowance. I sent all the 10 yuan a month back home, and I did this for 5 years.

As everyone knows, I was serving as a soldier in the South. It’s not easy to come back, but what did I see when I came back this time?

My wife goes out to work every day and gets paid a full salary. When she comes back, she has to do all the housework for the whole family.

That's fine, but my wife and my two daughters don't have enough to eat every day.

My mother used the money I sent back and the food my wife earned, and my eldest brother and third brother's family were well fed and plump.

My children and daughter-in-law are no longer human beings.

I was treated like a slave at home, doing all the work and not having any food to eat.

What's even more outrageous is that my third daughter was just born and not even a month old, but my mother actually wanted to give her away for money.

My wife disagreed, so they pushed her to the ground. She hit her head against the wall and passed out, but no one cared.

If I hadn't happened to come home and see this, my wife would have died and my daughter would have been sold.

I am a soldier out there, I earn my allowance with my life, I want my wife and my children to have a better life at home,

But what did my mother do? She almost destroyed my family.

I would like to ask everyone, does my mother think of our family as members of the Lin family?

Do you treat me as your own son?

No matter who says it today, no matter what, this family has been divided.

If my mother still has any affection for me, her second son, then we can divide the family property normally.

If my mother doesn't want to divide the family, I will leave the house with nothing and cut off all ties with the Lin family. I don't want anything, not even this mother. Don't come looking for me whether you are dead or alive.

Uncle San, Party Secretary, Team Leader, please be my witnesses."

The third uncle was the oldest and most senior elder in the Lin family. Just as he was about to open his mouth to mediate, Lin's mother started to curse:

"Bah, you ungrateful bastard, who told you not to marry a good wife but to marry a worthless piece of junk.

She can't even give birth to a boy. Shouldn't she die sooner so that you can find a new one? What's the point of keeping a woman like this?

Lin Laoer, you beast, I gave birth to you and raised you, but you still did something wrong, right?

Your family is the worst loser. I have something to eat for these two losers. I am lucky I didn't starve them to death.

How dare you compare them with my grandson? Have you become stupid from serving in the army?

Wang Hua, you vixen, you troublemaker, you just want to make our Lin family restless, right?

Also, you unfilial son, I don’t agree to split the family. If you want to split the family, then kill me. After I die, you can split the family.”

When Lin Lao Er heard his mother's words, his eyes revealed a heartbroken expression. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been valued by his parents.

Since I was young, my parents told me that the eldest child would be taken care of in old age, so I had to be strong. I was valued at home and never suffered any loss.

The third child is the youngest brother, the eldest son, the eldest grandson, and the old lady’s lifeblood. He has been spoiled since birth.

Lin Laoer was neglected at home since he was a child. He had to work in the fields to support his family at a very young age. He did the most housework and ate the least.

Since he was little, Lin Er wanted to be loved by his parents like his eldest brother and the third child, even if it was only a little bit.

So even though Lin Er was neglected by his family since he was a child, he was the most filial to his parents. He basically sent back all the allowances he earned in the army to subsidize the family.

Originally Lin Er was very happy when he came back this time. He had been in the army for eight years and this time he finally won a third-class merit, qualified for promotion, and became a platoon leader.

You know, although both soldiers and cadres are soldiers, there is a huge difference between them. Take the allowances for example.

Lin Laoer served as a soldier for eight years, and his monthly allowance was only 10 yuan.

But Lin Laoer is now a platoon leader, and his monthly allowance is 52 yuan, plus mission bonuses and so on. Lin Laoer's monthly income alone is enough to take good care of the entire Lin family.

Unexpectedly, my parents were very partial to me, and they were even more partial to their grandchildren.

He sent money back home every month, but not only did he not spend a penny on his wife and daughter, he almost starved his daughter and wife to death.

He even beat his wife until her head was bleeding. Everyone in the family watched her die and no one helped her.

This time, Lin Laoer's heart was completely broken, and he was determined to separate from these relatives.

Uncle Lin San saw that Lin Lao Er was silent with a sullen face and was determined to split up the family. He paused with his cane and said:

"Haowa, it's normal for a family to quarrel. Everyone has their own length. But no matter how much you quarrel or quarrel, you still know the principle of not dividing the family as long as the parents are alive.

I think if there is anything, just talk it out. There is no need to force it to the point of splitting up the family."

When Wang Yuanchao heard what Mr. Lin said, he shook his head in his heart. He was really good at mixing mud.

The second son's wife and daughter of the Lin family can hardly survive in this family. Instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, they are still thinking about playing with mud. They are really confused.

But Wang Yuanchao also knew that this was the way it was in China at that time, and filial piety could crush people to death.

Especially in relatively closed places like the Northeast, there are many people who rely on traditional ideas such as filial piety to suck the blood of all their children and grandchildren.

The situation will only improve a lot after the compulsory implementation of family planning. Each family will have only one child, and it will be difficult to favor sons over daughters or to suck the blood of children.
