After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

With the crackling sound of firecrackers, the house-warming party officially began.

After the freshly cooked dishes were plated, they were served to the table one after another. The guests' eyes were all glued to the meat dishes, waiting for the host to say a few polite words before they could officially start eating.

As a result, before the dishes were half served, a group of uninvited guests suddenly broke in through the open courtyard door, making the originally lively courtyard suddenly quiet, and everyone's attention was attracted to the group of people at the door.

When the guests saw that the visitors were from the first and third branches of the Lin family, they all began to whisper.

"Why are the Lin family here? Did San Ya and the others invite them over for a feast?"

"I don't think so. Look at their posture. They seem to be looking for trouble."

"I think so."

……

Everyone started talking at once, and the voices were getting louder and louder. Someone realized that something was wrong and went into the house to find Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu was entertaining the village head and his family. When she heard that the Lin family was coming, she felt something was wrong. She came out and saw that people from the first and third rooms were all there. She panicked and hurried into the kitchen to look for Lin Chuyi.

Lin Chuyi was still busy in the kitchen. When she saw Lin Jinxiu rushing in, she knew something must have happened outside without Lin Jinxiu saying anything.

"What's going on outside?"

"Someone from the Lin family has arrived, including the first and third wives." Lin Jinxiu got straight to the point.

There was not much surprise on Lin Chuyi's face. Instead, the corners of his lips curled up. It finally came.

"It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."

After comforting Lin Jinxiu, Lin Chuyi turned to look at Sun who was helping to take out the big steamed buns.

"Aunt Sun, I'll leave the kitchen to you. I'll go out and take a look."

"Okay, how about I come with you?"

Sun was the second daughter-in-law of the head of the village. With her around, the Lin family had to consider the head of the village's face and did not dare to do anything too excessive.

"Thank you, auntie, but no need, it's not a big deal, I can handle it by myself."

Lin Chuyi smiled at Sun, pulled Lin Jinxiu's sleeve, led her out of the kitchen, walked among the guests, and headed towards the Lin family.

When the guests around saw the host coming out, they all made way for them, allowing Lin Chuyi and the others to reach the front row smoothly.

Lin Chuyi glanced at the Lin family members present, matched their faces with the memories in his mind, and recognized their identities. He didn't expect that so many people came this time.

This is a good thing, it will let them re-understand what kind of person she is, so that they won't have any evil thoughts.

She was busy and wouldn't have time to waste on them in the future.

After Lin Wuya met Lin Chuyi on the road that day, she returned home and began to instigate her biological mother, Shen, to ask her mother to join forces with the eldest wife's family to scheme against Lin Chuyi and his family's house and money.

Shen was persuaded by Lin Wuya. She made up her mind and talked to her husband about it that night.

She described to Lin Laosan how wealthy Lin Chuyi and his family were now, and compared their current situation with that of her own family. She imagined what kind of life their family could lead if they could get the money in Lin Chuyi's hands. By the end, she even believed it herself.

Lin Laosan was able to cooperate with his eldest brother and do things so decisively, but he himself is not a person with a high moral bottom line.

When his eldest brother approached him to discuss dividing the second house, he did not agree at first. After all, his second brother had been very good to him when he was still alive. Now that he was asked to kick all of his second brother's children out, he was a little reluctant to do it.

Boss Lin saw that he was hesitating, so he spoke frankly. He was the eldest son, and even if his parents were gone, he would not be criticized if he got the larger share when the family property was divided. He was not greedy, and just wanted half of the property.

After the family division, he would take his family to the town. If he did not separate the second wife's family, he would have to share the remaining half of the property with the second wife.

The second wife's children were still young and could not do without adult help. He also had to support his own children to study and take the imperial examinations, and could not spare any money to raise his nephews and nieces.

As for whether the third room should intervene or not, that is the third room’s business. The first room will not intervene anyway.

After hearing what his eldest brother said, Lin Laosan fell silent. According to his eldest brother, he had to share the remaining half of the family property equally with his second brother's children, and also had to subsidize the children's food rations.

The little brat has bankrupted his father, so it is only right for him to provide food and drink for his own children, but why should he be left alone to take care of four nephews and nieces?

Even if San Ya has a job and can contribute to the family every month, as the children grow up, there will be more and more expenses, and that little money is not enough.

Not to mention that the four of them also wanted a share of the family property. That was the property left by their parents, and it was originally meant for their sons. Now that the second brother is gone, his share should belong to him, Lin Lao San. How could it be the turn of these girls and boys to inherit it?

Not only do they want to take the property that belongs to him, but they also want him to raise them and let them get all the benefits. Where in the world can there be such a good thing?

Lin Laosan fell into Lin Laoda's trap and thought about the problem according to his logic.

In the end, Lin Lao San chose to stand on a united front with Lin Lao Da and joined forces to force the four people from the second branch away.

The reason why they did it so ruthlessly was to stand on the moral high ground.

After all, it is not a glorious thing for uncles and aunts to drive away their own children and nephews. In ancient times, reputation was the most important thing. If one wanted to maintain a good reputation, they could only throw dirty water on the children.

Who doesn't value life these days? Even if it's just a groundless rumor, no one would gamble their life on that one possibility.

The two brothers took advantage of this human weakness and made most of the people in the tribe stand on their side.

The more people support them, the more it proves that what they do is not wrong. What's more, some people will even praise them for sacrificing their own relatives for the sake of justice.

As for how those children who were accused of bringing harm to their relatives would gain a foothold in the village in the future, that was none of their business.

They are just the uncles and aunts of these children, not their biological parents. Their biological parents had the heart to abandon them and let them live alone in the world, so the uncles and aunts have no obligation to care about their life or death.

This is how Lin Laosan brainwashed himself over and over again, and in the end he succeeded in brainwashing himself and became a complete believer in this perverse logic.

He felt somewhat unbalanced when he saw that Lin Chuyi and his siblings left the old house and not only were they not excluded but were doing well in the village.

The person who was supposed to struggle to survive suddenly lived better than everyone else, which made him begin to doubt his original choice.

If he had not abandoned them, would they be able to live in that brand new big house now? Would they be able to eat white rice and wear new clothes every day? Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
