The day of rebirth and elopement: caught by the military officer husband

The tractor bumped along the country road, raising clouds of dust and revealing the afterglow of the setting sun.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Uncle Zhang looked at Lin Xiaoxue gratefully and said, "Thank you so much for today."

"It's okay." Lin Xiaoxue responded calmly, hoping that there would be less trouble like this in the future.

When Uncle Zhang returned home, he had bruises on the corners of his eyes. His wife saw him and frowned, asking, "What happened?"

"I fell." Uncle Zhang replied hesitantly, "But I've applied ointment, so it's no big deal."

But his wife directly exposed his lie, "I have been married to you for more than ten years, and you always blink every time you lie. Tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Uncle Zhang had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Today and that..." He recounted the dispute with Lin Tianzong and how he was taken to the police station.

After hearing the whole story, his wife said indignantly: "Those people are so cruel! They even want to poach their own daughter's business!"

"Alas!" Uncle Zhang sighed heavily, "It seems that Xiaoxue has had enough of being wronged. She has become cold-hearted and has drawn a clear line between herself and her family. This open resistance... I'm afraid she is doing this because she can no longer bear it."

The two sat facing each other, reading each other's thoughts under the dim light.

"Actually, it's hard for her if you think about it." The wife added softly, "If someone is as capable as her, she can still stand up and fight back."

"That's right!" Uncle Zhang responded: "Such a capable daughter should be cherished and held in the palm of your hand. Now it's turned out like this... Alas!"

After all, not everyone can be called a parent. He has seen too many families that favor boys over girls. There was even one case where a girl was drowned at birth.

In this regard, the couple also felt that it was good for Lin Xiaoxue to resist.

As for those who did not resist, they were killed.

Over here in the Lin family courtyard, the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed to ignite the air.

Li Cai'e covered her burning cheeks and looked at her husband in fear.

Those slaps on her face not only brought physical pain, but also a deep humiliation.

"I told you not to do business! Look at what's happening now, right? You've thrown all your money into it!" Old Man Lin scolded angrily, pointing at the radishes and cabbages piled up in the corner of the room, "What should we do with these things?"

Li Cai'e was angry but also helpless. "When I first proposed to do business, didn't you stop me?"

She cried and complained: "When we made money, everyone was smiling and counting the money, but now that we have lost money, everyone blames me."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly changed the subject: "This is all because of Tian Zong's fight! If he hadn't gotten into so many troubles... he wouldn't have to pay so much."

Lin Tianzong heard his mother put the blame on him, and responded angrily and coldly: "After all, it's because mom's cooking skills are poor, and the food she made is not as delicious as Lin Xiaoxue's.

Otherwise, my business would be taken away from me? If my business wasn’t taken away from me, would I fight with others?”

"You..." Li Cai'e was almost laughing out of anger: "You are such a heartless person, I am just after your betrothal money."

When Lin Tianzong mentioned this, he became even more anxious and angry: "Now, what's the point of asking for a betrothal gift? Now all the family savings have been lost, and you can forget about marrying this daughter-in-law."

After being repeatedly accused, Li Cai'e angrily pointed at his nose and scolded: "Dowry, dowry, how dare you say that? Other sons who are capable have solved it themselves!

If you were as capable as your brother, you wouldn't have to rely on your family for support."

The eldest brother has been idle at home these years and has not earned a penny.

The second child had been working in a factory since dropping out of junior high school and had saved several hundred yuan. Although the money was not given to her, he also told her that she could take care of her own marriage.

The more Lin Tianzong listened to this, the gloomier his expression became. He slammed the door shut, and the sound echoed in the quiet village.

He heard his mother's sharp scolding and his father's angry shouting from behind, but he seemed to hear nothing. He just gripped the handlebars of the bicycle tightly, with unspeakable humiliation and anger surging in his heart.

He mounted his bicycle, pedaled, and sped along the country road.

When night fell, it was time to get off work at the factories in the town, and the workers dispersed in twos and threes.

When Lin Tianheng walked out of the factory gate with a tired figure, he did not expect to meet his brother Lin Tianzong.

When I first saw it, I thought I was dazzled.

"Brother? Why are you here?" The younger brother Lin Tianheng rubbed his eyes to confirm.

"My parents kicked me out." Lin Tianzong simply and rudely revealed the truth, "I was starving to death."

There was a hint of helplessness and grievance in his words.

"Then let's go to the cafeteria to eat together."

The two brothers walked side by side to the cafeteria and ordered food at the brightly lit window.

Lin Tianheng ordered several dishes in one go. When he saw the complimentary crispy radish slices on the plate, he couldn't help but ask, "These radish slices look good."

The canteen chef explained with a smile: "The factory just placed an order today! The pickled vegetables made by the Lu family workshop are very popular in town."

Before he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and the seemingly delicious and tempting radish slices were all thrown to the ground by Lin Tianzong.

All eyes around were focused on the two brothers.

Lin Tianheng quickly pulled his brother to sit in the corner and asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Tianzong put down his chopsticks heavily and looked at his brother with complicated eyes, "You know the Lu family workshop, right? It was built by Xiaoxue, and the business is booming."

Lin Tianheng was stunned, as if he had heard some incredible legend.

"Sister? How could she..." The little sister in my memory was always submissive and only knew how to wash clothes and cook. How could she have any business acumen?

"It was the day she eloped with Wei Caijun." Lin Tianzong continued, "Who knew she would become a different person after she came back. Since then, she has begun to change, and her eyes have become much sharper."

Thinking of the strange temperament of Lin Xiaoxue when she returned that day, Lin Tianheng suddenly realized, "Brother, now that you mention it, I also have an impression of her. She is indeed different.

If this is as you said, then my parents are really stupid. They don't even take good care of such a money-making god of wealth."

"It's really stupid." Lin Tianzong laughed bitterly, "After they lost money in business, they took their anger out on me."

After a moment of silence, he asked again: "You work outside all year round and don't go back to visit during holidays. What's going on?"

Lin Tianheng shrugged casually: "Why go back? It's much more comfortable in town. By the way, brother, I have a girlfriend here. The girl is good-looking and her family conditions are pretty good.

Both my parents work in the company and have several houses, which we can’t even live in.

After I get married, I can live a good life and live in a new house. Who would want to live in that shabby house in my hometown?"

There was a glimmer of hope and pride in his eyes.
