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

Zhang Tiedan was naturally very afraid that Lin Yue'e would really go to town to report him. So in the past two weeks, Zhang Tiedan had borrowed from everyone in the village he could.

He only borrowed thirty yuan. After causing this scene, many people no longer wanted to deal with him, let alone lend him money.

"Xiuhua, go...go to your parents and ask them to borrow seventy yuan for me." It's almost the last day.

Lin Xiuhua lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), her eyes squinting:

"Borrow my ass! You think you can lend money to that vixen? Dream on!"

Lin Xiuhua only had twenty yuan left. This incident had made her incredibly embarrassed; her husband had tried to sleep with her cousin, and now she was constantly being pointed at and whispered about whenever she went out. Everyone was secretly laughing at her, as if she didn't know any better.

"If you don't lend it to me, are you just going to watch me get arrested by the police?"

When Zhang Tiedan heard that Lin Xiuhua wasn't going to help, he became furious and yelled at her.

"You're yelling at me? You're the one who's being pathetic, doing such disgusting things. You want me to borrow money? No way. I'm not lending you any. Do you think borrowing money means you don't have to pay it back?"

Lin Xiuhua would never borrow money from her own family. Even if she were to borrow money, it would be for her own use. Lending money to Zhang Tiedan, who would then give it to Lin Yue'e, would she be so shameless?

After being scolded, Zhang Tiedan was so angry that he really wanted to punch Lin Xiuhua, but he thought better of it and decided to let it go for the sake of her being pregnant with his child.

Zhang Tiedan has borrowed all he can, and he has no other choice but to go to the Lin family to think of a solution. He didn't dare to go before because what he did was too shameful, and he was afraid that if he went to the Lin family, he would be beaten and scolded.

However, with the deadline approaching tomorrow, he dared not gamble that Lin Yue'e would let him off the hook if he didn't raise the money soon, given how fiercely she beat him.

Zhang Tiedan was too ashamed to walk through the village streets, and he was afraid of running into Lin Yue'e if he had to pass by her house.

So he decided to go through the back of the village. He arrived at the back door of Lin Xiangyang's house.

He paced back and forth by the back door, thinking about how to ask his father-in-law for money.

Now the only wealthy people he can think of are his father-in-law's family; his brother-in-law works in the provincial capital.

Just as he was thinking about how to ask to borrow money, he heard voices. It seemed to be coming from the pile of straw.

"You rascal, your own daughter is something else! You think she'll move to the city after she has this baby? And then the house will be mine? I don't care. Your son's working in the provincial capital, so the house should belong to Jinbao."

That's Zhang Guifen's voice. Zhang Tiedan felt something was off about the tone. Zhang Guifen was Lin Xiuhua's mother, so he should call her "mother-in-law" in the first place. He just didn't know who she was talking to.

"I wouldn't even want it if you gave it to me. That brat dared to talk about me like that in front of so many people, and even said she didn't acknowledge me. It's better if she doesn't acknowledge me. As long as you can get that house, I don't care."

"Let's not provoke her for now. Once she gives birth and leaves, we can naturally take over the house. But you're so angry that she won't leave. She insists on staying and occupying the place. I don't know what's gotten into her, she's going against me every day now."

Zhang Guifen said these words in anger.

"Just like her mother, she's unruly. I should have buried her and her mother together."

Lin Xiangyang harbored a deep-seated aversion to his biological daughter, Lin Yue'e. Lin Yue'e was the evidence that he had caused Zhao Xiangxing's death. Every time he saw Lin Yue'e, he was reminded of the look Zhao Xiangxing had given him before she died.

Listening to their conversation, Zhang Tiedan moved even closer.

The other voice sounds like Lin Xiangyang, but wait, Zhang Tiedan's brain is about to explode. Why are Zhang Guifen and Lin Xiangyang talking secretly here?

He wanted to go over and see what those two were up to. But when he got there, he saw an old man hugging Zhang Guifen and kissing her. He couldn't even bear to imagine the scene—one was his brother-in-law, and the other was his sister-in-law.

However, a surprised smile quickly appeared on Zhang Tiedan's face.

"Father, Mother, what are you doing?"

Zhang Tiedan deliberately shouted loudly, startling the two people who were hugging each other, causing them to jump away immediately. When they turned around and saw it was Zhang Tiedan, their faces turned pale with fright.

"Oh dear, you... Zhang Tiedan... what are you doing here?"

Zhang Guifen was startled by Zhang Tiedan's appearance.

"You... Zhang Tiedan, what did you just see?"

Lin Xiangyang looked at Zhang Tiedan with a threatening expression.

"Hehe, no, I just saw a pair of old lovers cuddling and kissing here. Hehe, I didn't expect you two to be so young at heart. This is just my taste... really..."

Zhang Tiedan also found it very strange. He thought Zhou Huiru was much prettier than Zhang Guifen, but unexpectedly, Lin Xiangyang actually liked Zhang Guifen.

"Hmph, what are you doing here? I...I just..."

Lin Xiangyang was trying to find a good explanation for himself.

"I had some sand in my eye just now, and he blew it out for me. Don't go spreading rumors when you leave."

Zhang Guifen quickly made up an excuse.

"Hey, if you two really want to mess around, at least find a secluded place. Doing it so openly in your own backyard... I wonder if my brother Jinbao is really Lin Xiangqian's son? The daughter isn't, and the son isn't either, is he?"

Zhang Tiedan naturally felt that Lin Jinbao should be fine, but it was just that Zhang Guifen's children all resembled her more, such as his lazy, greedy, and ugly wife Lin Xiuhua.

"What nonsense are you spouting? There's nothing between us, Zhang Tiedan. If you dare to go around spreading rumors, I'll make my Xiuhua divorce you."

Zhang Guifen used to use this to scare Gu Jingyan. If Gu Jingyan didn't want Lin Yue'e to send money and food back, she would just say this, and Gu Jingyan would always give in. But Zhang Tiedan wasn't buying it.

"Great, I couldn't be happier. You'd better go now."

Zhang Tiedan never married Lin Xiuhua willingly.

"You... Xiuhua is carrying your child, you..."

"So what if you're pregnant? The baby will be just as ugly as you. You don't like ugly babies anyway. Did you take Lin Yue'e home to raise instead? I still don't like that."

Zhang Tiedan was already thinking about how much money he could extort from these two. With this leverage, and Lin Xiangyang's son being Lin Weijun, who was incredibly wealthy—his job was government-assigned, earning him seventy or eighty yuan a month—he had leverage over Lin Xiangyang's connections.

From now on, he won't need much each month; just have Lin Xiangyang give him twenty or twenty coins. He can't be too greedy, or it would be bad if Lin Weijun found out.

Lin Xiangyang felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Zhang Tiedan's calculating expression.

"Hmph, Zhang Tiedan, what are you doing in my backyard?"

Lin Xiangyang didn't care whether Lin Xiuhua got a divorce or not. He cared more about his reputation.
