Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 166: Someone Died

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then forcefully broke away from Li Lian, cursing, "Are you crazy! Jianguo has parents, it’s not Ah Qin’s place to manage his affairs. Hurry and leave!"

"Why! Jianguo is her cousin, she must care! If she doesn’t care, she shouldn’t think she can leave Shanglin Village today!" Li Lian got aggressive, blocking the path.

At the critical moment, several of Huang Yuzhen’s sisters rushed over and forcefully restrained Li Lian.

Li Lian couldn’t fight against a group, she angrily cursed and spat, getting hit several times, screaming in pain.

Lin Yi shook his head.

The team leader and a few others advised, "Just leave! Don’t mind her, she’s crazy!"

Lin Yi and Chen Wenjun didn’t hesitate, immediately mounted the tricycle and took the whole family away.

Even from afar, they could still hear Li Lian’s unpleasant cursing and screaming.

"What kind of people are they!" Huang Yuezhen, who had come for the banquet, clutched her chest with lingering fear, deciding to have a good talk with her mother-in-law during the New Year.

Lin Qin froze for a moment, then looked at Huang Yuezhen in surprise, "Cousin-in-law, you haven’t seen my second uncle’s family, have you!"

Huang Yuezhen nodded honestly, "Ever since I came to the city, I either stayed in Nanyu or went to work on construction sites, occasionally visiting the seafood wholesale store and Boss Gao’s warehouse, that’s it."

Previously, she was curious about Lin Zhi’s family, but because of her busyness, this curiosity only emerged unintentionally and was soon forgotten.

Lin Qin had to admit that Huang Yuezhen was foolishly lucky and advised earnestly, "Let me give you a piece of advice, don’t let my second uncle’s family know you have money, their minds are not normal. Because my dad has no sons, they justifiably think my family’s belongings are theirs.

They schemed daily for our house and land, later my dad stood firm once, and didn’t let them gain anything, my second uncle then said he wanted to cut ties with my dad, and wouldn’t let his two sons give my dad the burial jar, but my dad still didn’t relent.

They couldn’t do anything and started speaking ill of our family in the village. Fortunately, everyone saw through their nonsense and didn’t listen to them. Today they probably felt out of options and came to make trouble regardless.

When entangled with such shameless people, anyone with a bit of dignity can’t stand it, am I right?"

Huang Yuezhen nodded vigorously, filled with fear, deciding to have a serious talk with her mother-in-law to ensure never getting involved with Lin Zhi’s family again.

Li Lian failed to stop Lin Qin’s family and was hit several times by Huang Yuzhen’s relatives, crying bitterly as she returned home.

Lin Zhi saw her like that and his face turned somber, "Didn’t succeed?"

Li Lian sat angrily on a stool, pulling up her sleeves, "Look at this, they all hit me. That damned Huang Yuezhen is now Lin Qin’s lackey. If not for the obstruction, there’s no way I’d have let that damn girl Lin Qin leave Shanglin Village!"

After speaking, Li Lian gave Lin Zhi a resentful glare, "Why didn’t you come with me just now?"

Feeling guilty, Lin Zhi turned away, irritably glancing at his younger son, "Your mom tried every way she could, but Lin Qin doesn’t acknowledge familial affection, we couldn’t do anything, you better figure it out yourself!"

Lin Jianguo angrily flipped the stool, "It’s because you all were useless! You always said that uncle’s house and land would go to us. But now? Big brother and sister-in-law live in uncle’s house and have to pay rent every month, uncle’s land is all rented out, our family didn’t gain a thing!

If only you had maintained good relations with uncle’s family back then, wouldn’t he be taking care of me now? It’s all your faults!"

Lin Zhi was furious, stood up, "How dare you talk like this? I’ve raised you, a handful of shit and piss, to this age without complaints of you being useless, but now you’re complaining about me! From this month onwards, pay me twenty yuan monthly or I’ll go to the team leader and the village secretary. We’ll see who’s useless!"

Seeing her husband and son at each other’s throats, Li Lian quickly tried to mediate, "What’s the point of fighting? We’re all one family, no need for conflict..."

"Scram!" Lin Jianguo rejected her, shaking off Li Lian, fuming as he went back to his room.

Lin Zhi felt his authority as the head of the family was challenged, burning with anger, he grabbed a staff from behind the door and chased after Lin Jianguo, "I’ll beat you to death, you bastard!"

Lin Jianguo wasn’t prepared and got hit, wailing in pain.

Li Lian was scared and screamed, "Stop hitting, stop hitting, this is our beloved son! He’s just angry and said nonsense, don’t take it seriously."

"Get off!" Lin Zhi pushed Li Lian aside, and hit Lin Jianguo several more times.

Lin Jianguo was incensed, grabbing a stool and hurling it at Lin Zhi.

The commotion here was truly too loud.

Though the neighbors didn’t like the family, they all came to investigate, acting as mediators.

But as soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard Li Lian’s shrill scream.

"What’s happened?" The crowd rushed in.

They saw Lin Zhi still holding the staff, Lin Jianguo lying on the ground, blood all over his head, eyes wide open, convulsing.

"This... something serious happened! Call the police! Get to the hospital... hurry, get to the hospital!" With a shout, the stunned crowd finally reacted.

Li Lian was beside herself, crying with snot and tears all over, "Save my son, save my son! Lin Zhi, you scoundrel! Give me back my son! Give me back my son!"

With a clang, the staff hit the ground, Lin Zhi’s legs went weak, kneeling down, his mind blurry.

The next day before dawn.

The team leader and Lin Qingxiang arrived at Nanyu.

Lin Yi had just prepared breakfast to send the kids to school, and was dumbfounded when he saw them, "So early?"

They both wore grave expressions.

Lin Qingxiang organized his words, "Jianguo is dead."

Lin Yi’s face changed drastically, "What happened?"

The team leader sighed, "Last night there was a big fight at their house, we don’t know exactly why, but according to their neighbors, it was intense. Lin Zhi hit Jianguo with the staff, Jianguo threw a stool at Lin Zhi. It seems it was in a fit of rage, Lin Zhi hit Jianguo’s head too hard, Jianguo fell hitting the threshold.

Blood came out immediately, convulsing, the village called the police and an ambulance, they put him in the rescue vehicle, but he died before reaching the village gates, the police arrested Lin Zhi and his wife, they’re still at the station.

Jianqiang and his wife are beside themselves, not knowing what to do, just crying there. We thought about it and decided to ask you to return and lead the situation."

Lin Yi was already in shock.

Lin Qin was about to head to school, and her face changed when she heard about this, she tugged at Lin Yi’s sleeve and said sternly, "Dad, with a death and involving the police station, it’s not going to end easily, I guess we’ll have to wait for the forensic investigation to determine the cause of death before they’ll return the body.

You go back to the village with uncle, don’t take the lead in anything. If Jianqiang asks you for anything don’t agree, just say you don’t understand anything, wait for Wenjun and me to come over, I’ll call elder sister and ask them to come too."
