Transmigrated into the body of an extreme brother-supporting demon, I immediately severed ties with

"Sister, calm down. It's been so long since then. Those were just angry words! You know how much stuff we lost that time, and Mom and Dad were furious. Besides, we're family, so can't we just let it go? Your husband's back too. Bringing these things up again would just make us a laughingstock."

Lin Jinbao firmly remembered his mother's dying words: he must never sever ties with Lin Yue'e! Gu Jingyan is now a college student in the provincial capital and will definitely be a government employee in the future. If they sever this relationship, their family will never be able to benefit from it for the rest of their lives.

So even if he was kicked out in front of everyone, he still had to shamelessly coax his sister today. To be honest, his mother was really stingy. She clearly said that he was here to build relationships, but she wouldn't let him bring anything with him.

Li Chunlan stood aside, feeling both angry and resentful at being directly driven away by them.

She was the Lin family's newlywed daughter-in-law, and this was her first time visiting relatives. Instead of giving her a big red envelope, her sister-in-law wouldn't even let her in. How could this be?

She tugged at Lin Jinbao, trying to leave, but Lin Jinbao gave her a look, telling her to say something to coax him.

Her eyes darted around, and she immediately adopted a pitiful expression. She took a step forward and shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice just loud enough for the passing villagers to hear:

"Big sister, we know our family wronged you in the past, but that's all in the past! Even the upper and lower lips need to be touched. Parents know they were wrong and asked us to invite you home for dinner. Can't you be a little more magnanimous and forgive us this time?"

As she spoke, she reached out to wipe her eyes, feigning a sob:

"We came to wish you a Happy New Year early this morning, and we weren't even offered a sip of hot water, and you're just kicking us out like this. Is this how you treat a new bride who's only been married into the family for a year?"

Li Chunlan spoke with an air of grievance, every word of which was a form of moral blackmail, drawing curious glances from the villagers who were about to visit relatives into the courtyard.

Sure enough, after those shouts, the villagers who were sweeping snow and visiting each other gathered around the gate, pointing and whispering.

An elderly woman, unaware of the truth, saw Li Chunlan crying pitifully and Lin Yue'e, heavily pregnant, blocking the way from entering, and couldn't help but speak up to persuade her:

"Yue'e, it's the New Year, we're all family, what's there to be upset about? They've all admitted their mistakes, just give them some face, what can't you let go of?"

"Yes, no matter what, he's still your own brother. What's this talk about severing ties but not breaking them? When you have children and make a living, you'll still need your family's help. Without your brothers supporting you, life won't be easy."

This person was from another village visiting relatives. He only had a vague understanding of the situation and started giving advice.

"Young man, don't be so stubborn. You're family, you'll see each other all the time, it's not good to make things too awkward. I heard you even live in the same village. This tantrum will pass in a couple of days. Are you really going to cut ties with your family? If you really do, who will you cry to when your in-laws bully you?"

A few words of persuasion reached his ears, and Lin Jinbao immediately straightened his back, proudly raising his chin, certain that Lin Yue'e would back down out of pride. Li Chunlan cried even harder, glancing into the crowd between sobs, waiting for more people to chime in.

Watching this scene, Lin Yue'e felt a surge of anger rising to her head. At this moment, she finally understood what Guo Degang meant when he said, "If you don't know the suffering of others, don't advise them to be kind."

Back then, when the Lin family stole her things, occupied her house, and even tried to cause her to miscarry, and when Lin Jinbao led a group of village kids to throw excrement and filth into her yard, why didn't anyone say "family members should be magnanimous"? Now they suddenly realize that blood is thicker than water.

Now that Gu Jingyan is back and she's going to the provincial capital to live a good life, she comes here to play the victim and try to claim kinship. What kind of shameless thing is this?

She shouted loudly at the crowd of onlookers and gossips:

"What do you know? You know nothing and yet you're here speaking up for me. Why don't you go and be bodhisattvas or Buddhas? I may not be as magnanimous or kind as you, but please have pity on me and lend me all your money and grain. Then stop talking about being magnanimous and kind."

The group had meant well and wanted to offer some advice, but Lin Yue'e's rebuke left them all looking displeased. Someone who knew the situation immediately began to explain.

Wang Ersao was right there. She immediately spoke up for Lin Yue'e, saying, "This Lin family..."

Wang Ersao recounted how the Lin family had emptied Lin Yue'e's house, tried to seize it, and even attempted to cause her to miscarry because they couldn't bear the thought of Lin Yue'e having a child. The group of people touched their noses in dismay.

"We didn't know there were so many things going on here. We're not going to watch the excitement anymore; we still have to visit our relatives."

The person who had just advised Lin Yue'e to be magnanimous left in embarrassment. All that was left were those who had nothing better to do than watch the spectacle.

Even so, that old relic still managed to speak up.

"Anyway, there are no bad parents in this world. No matter what, the Lin family raised you. How can you turn your back on them like this?" An old man in a dark blue Zhongshan suit, who seemed to be some relative, was speaking in favor of the Lin family.

Upon hearing the old man's words, Lin Jinbao immediately echoed his sentiments:

"That's right, this old man is right. Your parents raised you, and you can't live without their kindness. Anyway, it's your fault for wanting to sever ties with them now. Besides, didn't Chunlan and I already come to apologize to you? Just show some appreciation, how long are you going to keep making a scene?"

"Don't make a fool of yourself. If it weren't for back then..." Lin Yue'e thought about how she was forced to stay and become Zhang Guifen's daughter back then.

"Sis, don't talk nonsense, we're a perfectly good family..."

Seeing that his sister was about to bring up the past, Lin Jinbao tried to pull Lin Yue'e away, but was firmly grabbed by a hand.

Gu Jingyan stood between the two, holding Lin Jinbao by the collar with one hand.

"What do you think you're doing? If you move again, I'll break your legs."

"Let me go! I didn't mean to do anything!"

Lin Jinbao was in pain from Gu Jingyan's grip, and he cursed inwardly, wondering how the couple could be so strong.

"Sister, please don't be like this. Today is the day we return to our parents' home. Parents sent us to tell you that it's time to go home and stop dwelling on the past. We...we have to go now, we have to visit relatives today. We won't be having dinner at your house."

Seeing that things weren't going well, Li Chunlan simply pulled Lin Jinbao away. Let her in-laws handle this mess themselves.

The two ran away, and the onlookers dispersed.

"What did you say? They won't even let you in the door, this is outrageous!"

Lin Xiangqian was so angry that he kept smoking.

Zhang Guifen was still thinking that even if Lin Yue'e was unwilling, it was the New Year, so she should at least give a red envelope to the new bride who had come to the family for the first time.

After all, now that Gu Jingyan is back, they still need to maintain this relationship. How can a son-in-law be so inconsiderate?
