Chapter 74 It's time to change this ridiculous rule that only sucks women's blood.
Although the elders were also stunned by the development of events, some of them with clear minds sensed that something was amiss.
But since this is a matter of great importance concerning the family's reputation, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Then, someone who usually had a good relationship with Zhou Hai stepped forward and said, "Hai Zi, this matter concerns the reputation of the entire Lin family..."
"Face? What face?" Aunt Zhou had just returned from washing her hands in the backyard with several children when she heard this, and she was furious.
He questioned everyone, "What face does your Lin family have? You're living off the shame of having no descendants? Go ask other people if they want this kind of face."
The elder was speechless. "De Fang has no successor, and the family property has been managed by the clan and brothers since ancient times..."
"Bullshit! Brother Lin has no successor, and Chang'er isn't human?"
Aunt Zhou didn't give these stubborn old folks any face and said bluntly, "You greedy, inhuman bastards! When you were eating other people's money, you didn't treat them like family. Now you're rushing to bully us. Chang'er is so unlucky to have been born into your Lin family."
Aunt Zhou was very angry, her chest heaving violently. Lin Chang'er was afraid that she might do something bad, so she quickly stepped forward and patted her back to comfort her, "Auntie, calm down."
After saying that, he turned to the clan elders and said, "I told you long ago that I am a childless woman, and my maternal family has long since died out."
Even if your Lin family becomes successful in the future, and you are granted titles and high positions, I will not benefit from your success or take any credit from you.
If you're down on your luck and begging on the streets, don't come to my house. Even if I had extra food to feed my dogs, I wouldn't give you a single penny. Everyone should just close their doors and live their own lives.
"If they insist on causing trouble, I'm not afraid."
He glanced at Wu Qingfeng and the other two, and continued, "Today, you not only slandered me, but also disturbed these three distinguished guests. I can no longer be as lenient as before."
"I would like to ask Mr. Wu to help me write a complaint. I want to go to the county government to accuse the Lin clan of spreading rumors and slander, defaming my reputation, causing trouble at my home, and trying to kill me."
Wu Qingfeng had thought of something since the two sides had just started their theoretical standoff, and he felt that this was too coincidental.
Could there be several branches of the Lin family in Linshui Village?
But at the time it wasn't said that the gentleman's daughter...
He was deep in thought and didn't hear Lin Chang'er's words for a moment. It was Bai Shaoan who reminded him, "Third Brother!"
Wu Qingfeng grunted in response. Seeing his expression, Bai Shaoan understood and whispered, "Sister Lin wants to sue these troublemakers. I need you to help me write a complaint."
Lin Daiyu was the first to have a county magistrate write a petition for her.
Bai Shaoan suppressed a laugh, eagerly anticipating his third brother's reaction. Unexpectedly, his third brother simply said "Oh," with a calm expression that seemed to say, "I understand."
This left Bai Shaoan completely bewildered.
At this moment, Lin Dashan retorted, "We want to kill you? Don't you even look at how badly you've beaten us!"
Lin Chang'er curled her lips, "Whose yard are you standing on right now? You've already come to attack my door. If I don't fight back, am I just going to wait to be beaten to death?"
Before Lin Dashan could say anything more, Zhou Hai scolded, "Alright, you came here willingly to get beaten, who can you blame?"
After saying that, Zhou Hai looked at Wu Qingfeng and the other two. Although he supported Lin Chang'er, he still needed to find out the identities of these three people first to ensure that Chang'er could win the case.
Seeing that the three men were well-dressed and possessed a certain air of refinement, Zhou Hai cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "May I ask who these three esteemed guests are..."
Wu Qingfeng and the other two understood each other's meaning, and Wu Qingfeng returned the greeting, saying, "I am Wu Qingfeng, a native of the capital."
Next was Bai Shaoan. "Bai Shaoan, I also came from the capital. I've settled down in this town now."
Finally, it was Pei Sihai's turn. "I am Pei Sihai, the owner of Sihai Restaurant in Linhai Town. Today, I have come with my two nephews to visit Miss Lin because we have some questions about seafood that we would like to ask."
Unexpectedly, this has caused such a big problem for Miss Lin.
After saying that, he turned to Lin Chang'er and said, "It is perfectly reasonable for Miss Lin to want to file a complaint and seek justice after suffering such a great injustice."
But Miss Lin is, after all, a young woman, and going through the trial would damage her reputation.
Although I am a businessman, my two nephews and I have always kept ourselves clean and honest. Today, I have been humiliated for no reason. If this gets back to my wife, it will be even more difficult to explain.
"How about this, I'll handle this matter myself. I happen to have one or two acquaintances in the county government."
Seeing that he had considered everything so thoroughly, Lin Chang'er naturally agreed, "In that case, I will trouble Uncle Pei. However, these members of the Lin clan are spying on me every day under the guise of being clansmen, trying to find fault with me. It is really annoying."
To be honest, after my parents passed away, they seized my family property under the guise of being from the same clan and took me back, but they never cared whether I lived or died.
They even dared to try and make me a concubine for some random person, showing absolutely no familial affection. In fact, I had long since severed ties with them; all that was missing was the written document with both parties' fingerprints on it. Let's do that today too!
Pei Sihai was about to nod when Wu Qingfeng stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, if Miss Lin wants to sever ties, shouldn't she first take back her family's property?"
Lin Chang'er paused. Isn't this an age-old bad habit that even the county magistrate can't change?
Otherwise, the original owner of this body would not have met such an end.
As she was thinking this, she heard Wu Qingfeng say to her, "You have sons and daughters. As long as your son takes the surname Lin, he will continue the Lin family line. How can your family property be inherited by others?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Lin clan looked at each other in bewilderment.
An elder objected, saying, "Lin Chang'er married Gu Sanlang after her parents passed away. How can her stepson inherit the Lin family's wealth?"
Wu Qingfeng smiled coldly, ignoring him, and asked Lin Chang'er, "Although you have no brothers, your father can adopt one from another branch. Have your clansmen asked you about this, or reminded you of it?"
Lin Chang'er shook her head, "No."
Wu Qingfeng nodded and sneered at the Lin clan members: "You bully her because she is young and helpless, covet her family property, tarnish her reputation, and kill her, and then you can rest easy. You all have a good plan!"
After saying that, he turned to Pei Sihai and said, "Uncle Pei, write this matter into the petition. If the county magistrate cannot make a decision, then ask the prefect to make a decision. If the prefect still cannot make a decision, then go to the capital to file a petition with the emperor."
Rules are made by people, and it's time someone stepped forward to change these rotten rules that only leech off women.
When he spoke, he exuded an aura of authority, like a ruler on a high platform, with the winds of change behind him and the potential for millions to fall in a single rage.
Lin Chang'er got goosebumps all over her body from listening to this, while the Lin clan members panicked. What were they doing here today? How did things turn out like this?
What will happen to the Lin family if they really report this to higher authorities?
Lin Houde panicked, and Yang Cuihua and Lin Dashan panicked too.
Only Bai Shaoan, who was enjoying the spectacle, clapped and cheered.
Immediately afterwards, cheers erupted from the courtyard...
In a flash, while everyone's attention was on Wu Qingfeng, Lin Houde suddenly thought of something and quickly whispered instructions to Lin Dashan. Immediately, Lin Dashan quietly squeezed out of the crowd...
