Although they were the ones who raised the second wife's child before, the second son would give money to the family every month. If you really counted it, they actually made a profit.

But now that the second son is gone, these two elders have to take full charge of these children. The more Mr. Lin thinks about it, the more he feels wronged. Although he didn't do anything to the people in the second house, he always has a bad face when facing them.

There are quite a few grandchildren in the Lin family. Under the guidance of the adults, most of them have learned how to read people's faces.

After knowing that their grandfather didn't like the children of the second wife, they bullied the children of the second wife without any burden in their hearts. They often stole their food and deliberately soiled their clothes.

However, their adults turned a blind eye to their own children's behavior, and used the excuse that the children from the second wife were freeloaders at home to force them to do all kinds of housework.

In fact, the Lin family's conditions were not bad. The two elders of the Lin family had three sons and one daughter in total.

The eldest son, Lin Youcai, had studied for a few years and knew quite a few words. A few years ago, he got a job as an accountant in a restaurant in the town. It was a respectable and comfortable job.

The second son, Lin Youwang, works as a porter in the town's grain store. Although this job is tiring, the income is stable. When there is no work in the grain store, he can also go to the dock to help unload goods. His monthly income is more than enough to support several children in the family.

The third son, Lin Youfu, had no big ambitions and volunteered to stay at home to take care of the family's fields.

The only daughter, Lin Chunhua, married a butcher in the town. Although their life was not very wealthy, at least they never lacked money.

During the holidays, the two elders of the Lin family would receive filial gifts from their son-in-law, and they lived a happy life.

There are only two families in Qingshan Village that have built blue brick and tile houses. One is the headman's family, and the other is Lao Lin's family. It can be said that Lao Lin's family is the best-off family in Qingshan Village.

But being born in such a family, the children of the second branch of the Lin family not only did not live a good life, but also had to take on many chores at home, such as washing clothes, cooking, collecting firewood, and cutting grass, while not having enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear.

When the original owner's sister, Lin Sanya, was eleven years old, she was sent by Old Man Lin to work as a fire-making maid in a landlord's house.

The monthly salary that Lin San Ya received was forcibly taken away by Old Man Lin and never reached the hands of the sisters.

Lin Sanya usually lived in the landlord's house and would only go home occasionally during holidays to give the saved food rations to her younger brothers and sisters. Since Lin Sanya left, most of the housework fell on the original owner.

The original owner didn't want to do it, but if she didn't work, the three siblings would have no food to eat. She was helpless and could only choose to follow the family's arrangements. Every day she was either working or on the way to work.

Another year passed like this, and in the early spring, Mr. Lin suddenly fell ill and fainted in his own field. After being carried back home, he never woke up again, and he died within a few days.

After the Lin family finished the funeral for Old Man Lin, the person in charge of the family became the original owner's grandmother, Wang.

The old lady was not as stingy as Grandpa Lin. She also disliked the children of the second wife, but she did not treat them harshly with food.

As the saying goes, the second wife’s family lived a relatively good life in the third year after their father’s death. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A few days ago, when the old lady went to the town to find her eldest son, she was hit by a ox cart.

The old man was in poor health to begin with, and was hit by the bull. He couldn't even breathe and died before he could be taken to the hospital.

After the people from the first and third branches of the Lin family had arranged the funeral, they began to discuss the division of the family property.

According to local customs, after the family is divided, the elderly in the family will live with the eldest son, so when the family property is divided, the eldest son will get the largest share.

But now, the two elderly people in the Lin family are gone, and there is no problem of support. Therefore, the third branch does not agree to let the first branch take the largest share.

Boss Lin also knew that under the current circumstances, he could not take advantage, but he was unwilling to let the benefits go, so he set his sights on the second wife.

After discussing it, the two brothers decided to split the property 50-50, leaving nothing for the second wife.

Not only that, they also asked the clan leader and the village head to be witnesses, opened the ancestral hall, and expelled the second branch from the family tree.

The reason they gave was that the children of the second wife, especially the twins, were the reincarnation of a disaster star. Since their birth, they have killed their biological father, mother, grandfather and grandmother one after another.

If we continue to keep them in the tribe, perhaps other members of the tribe will be affected in the future.

Common people at that time were very superstitious, and many believed in the theory of inauspicious relatives, so under the joint instigation of the first and third wives.

The second branch of the Lin family was kicked out of the house, and the original owner and her younger brothers and sisters were kicked out of the house.

There are more than seventy households in Qingshan Village today, with three major surnames, namely Liu, Lin and Li. Each surname will elect an elderly person with high seniority in the clan to serve as the clan leader.

The head of the village who manages the entire village is taken turns by people from the three major surnames. The current head of Qingshan Village is surnamed Liu, and his full name is Liu Shouren.

Although Liu Shouren was somewhat superstitious, the man who was said to be his nemesis was named Lin, so even if he was from the Nemesis tribe, he could not be harmed by him.

Without such concerns, he could handle the matter objectively and rationally.

After witnessing the true situation of the children from the second wife, and the almost deathly treatment of the first and third wives of the Lin family.

Liu Shouren couldn't help but feel sympathy for the children. After they were kicked out of the Lin family, Liu Shouren stepped forward and placed the three children in the dilapidated house where Lin Chuyi was now.

This house is older than Liu Shouren. A few years ago, the owner of the house moved there with his family because his relatives became wealthy. In order to raise enough money for the journey, they sold all the things in the house.

Farmers make their living from the land, so they will only complain about having too little land. No one will complain about having too much land. After the news that his family was going to sell their property spread, it only took two days for all his land to change hands.

Houses are different from land. This house is quite old and has no other advantages except for its large area.

But the family asked for ten taels of silver right away. They couldn't find any buyers for the time being, and they were in a hurry to leave, so they sold all the valuables in the house, leaving only an empty house.

Seeing that the family was really anxious, the village head at that time discussed with them that he could use the village’s public funds to buy the house. However, he could only give them five taels of silver. If they agreed, he would buy the house, and in the future, the house would belong to the village.

The owner of the house agreed, and after the transaction was completed, the house became public property of the village.
