Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Although what Lu Yang said was true, Lin Hongmin couldn't admit it. He felt ashamed that his thoughts had been exposed in front of so many people.

Grandma Lin immediately pulled Lin Hongmin behind her, like a mother hen protecting her chicks: "You surnamed Lu, get out of here! We don't welcome you, you shameless scoundrel. You separated your family and made a mess of things, and now you're coming to our house. You're just asking for trouble."

Lu Yang remained unfazed: "The more you shout, the more it shows your guilty conscience. They are both your grandsons, yet you've arranged so much for Lin Hongmin, but you've been so harsh on Hongshan. Don't you think you're being too biased?"

“My grandma lost her savings for her funeral before. I heard she lost about 1000 yuan. My grandma is also a widow who raised my dad and second uncle on her own. You must have more savings than my grandma. If you take out your savings, you can at least help Hongshan pay off part of the debt.”

Old Mrs. Lin's eyes turned red: "Bullshit! That's money I've saved up for half my life by scrimping and saving. Why should I give it to this brat?"

Lin's mother, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Let's pay back eight hundred first, and then pay back the rest slowly, okay?"

As she spoke, she took out eight hundred yuan from her pants pocket and handed it to Chen Kui.

Grandma Lin looked incredulous. She raised her hand to grab the money, but Chen Kui was faster and snatched it away.

Chen Kui put the money in his pocket and said, "He owes us 3 yuan. Consider the 800 yuan as this month's interest. I'm only doing this out of pity for you. Don't try to renege on your debt. Hurry up and think of a way to pay it back."

The village chief was somewhat helpless. Although they were in the village, they knew that Chen's Restaurant was a local tyrant in the county, and they couldn't afford to offend it.

So he said helplessly, "Your family hasn't sold the grain you harvested this year yet. Why don't you sell the grain in the village first, and I'll settle the account for you and pay off your debts first?"

Aunt Lin replied without hesitation, "No way! That's my family's money, why should I pay off his debts?"

Lin's mother said stubbornly, "Our family has contributed, so of course we should pay off Hongshan's debts, at least half of them."

Lin Gui's mind went blank; he was completely shocked and hadn't come to his senses at all.

But then Old Mrs. Lin kicked Lin Gui and gave him a wink.

Lin Gui had no idea where they were talking, but he could read the old lady Lin's expression.

He rushed towards Lin's mother like the wind, his expression ferocious, and he was about to hit her with all his might.

But Ge San had been watching him closely, and when he saw him rushing over, he tripped him without making a sound.

Lin Gui immediately lost his balance, and he instinctively tried to grab his mother's clothes to steady himself.

But Lin's mother nimbly dodged, and Lin Gui fell face-first into the dirt with a loud "bang".

He was caught off guard, so he fell particularly hard.

"You little slut, how dare you hide! Where did you get that eight hundred yuan? We haven't even separated yet, all your earnings should go to me!"

Grandma Lin glanced at Lin Gui, her anger flaring, and pointed at Lin's mother's nose, shouting.

Lin Hongjiang, who had been watching coldly, finally couldn't bear it any longer and ran over, shouting, "Why should I give it to you?"

"The money we're given to you is like throwing meat buns to a dog. We work ourselves to the bone all year round, but we don't get any benefits in return!"

"You used me to threaten my brother into coming back, none of you are good people!"

Lin Gui just stood up, rubbing his groin, and bared his teeth as he charged at Lin Hongjiang: "You little beast, I'll beat you to death!"

Before he could even make a move, Lin Hongshan grabbed him by the back of the collar and easily tossed him aside.

Lin Hongshan warned, "Don't touch my brother! If you dare lay a hand on him again, I'll fight you to the death!"

Lin Guiqi's face turned purple with anger. He pointed at Lin Hongshan's nose and said, "You've gone too far! You want me to pay off your debts? You go to jail! I don't care about you!"

Li Fei, with a toothpick in his mouth, said, "Are you sure your family won't take responsibility?"

"Brother Kui, this debt is hard to collect. Get a few more brothers to come and see what valuables they have at home. Take whatever is valuable and sell it for as much as you can."

Chen Kui nodded: "Then you go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things here, so they don't hide anything."

Upon hearing this, Li Fei tried to run away, but Uncle Lin immediately stopped him.

He was the village cashier and the most successful of Lin Hongmin's father's generation.

Seeing that things had reached a point where they couldn't be resolved, he said helplessly, "Let's talk this out. My family isn't wealthy either. If you really take everything away from us, you'll be driving us to our doom."

Lin Hongmin and Ge San walked out from the corner, glanced at them, wiped away their tears, and said, "Let's separate from the family too!"

Lin Gui's eyes widened immediately: "No way! You little brat, you'd better die soon!"

As he was about to strike, Lin's mother shoved him hard and said, "The three of us will split up, and we'll pay off our own debts!"

Lu Yang shook his head disapprovingly: "Aunt Lin, don't be impulsive."

"When I divided the family property back then, I took a lot of firewood, rice, oil and salt. We didn't have any debts. The whole family worked together to earn money, which was just enough to make ends meet."

“If you move out with tens of thousands of dollars in debt, he's doomed.”

"Let's not split up the family. All three of you can pay it off together. You'll be able to pay it off in 10 years!"

Aunt Lin's eye twitched violently: "Ten years! Are you fucking crazy?!"

"Why should we pay back 30,000 yuan for this bastard child!"

Chen Kui reminded him, "It's not just 3, there's also a 5% interest rate. It will definitely be more than that in 10 years."

Uncle Lin shoved Old Mrs. Lin, whose head was spinning, but she still shouted, "Get out! You three get out!"

"Brother, village chief, you are my witnesses. Lin Hongshan, Lin Hongmin, and their two mothers have all been separated from us and have nothing to do with our family anymore!"

The village chief was dumbfounded: "You're driving them to their doom!"

Grandma Lin immediately disagreed, saying, "What do you mean by pushing him to the brink? This is something Lin Hongshan owed himself, so isn't it only right that his mother and brother help him pay it off?"

“We have no money, and there’s no way we can pay back a single cent.”

Lin's mother immediately said, "I'll go pack some things. Hongmin, take your books. Let's go now."

Lin Hongshan didn't leave, but stood there and said, "Lin Gui, you and my mother should get a divorce. Even if we die outside, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Gui was taken aback at first, then looked at Chen Kui and Li Fei, who had snatched their apples, and immediately nodded: "Okay, let's get a divorce today!"

Old Mrs. Lin had already left with Lin's mother. She was afraid that Lin's mother would take away something from their Lin family, so she kept a close eye on her.

Lin's mother only took her own clothes, shoes, and a pair of silver bracelets that came with her dowry when she got married.

She had been married into the Lin family for twenty-one years, and when she left, she couldn't even fill a sack with her own belongings.

She hoisted the sack onto her shoulder and turned to leave without looking back.

Lin Hongmin had more belongings than her, and with Ge San's help, he carried two sacks of things out.

Lin Hongshan followed them at the back, while Lu Yang went out earlier and hired a four-wheeled vehicle from the village to take them to the county.
