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

They were originally from the same village. Lin Xiuhua ran home from the village with a pig's head on her head. She kept sobbing all the way and wouldn't respond to anyone calling her.

"What happened? Isn't she always so domineering? She used to berate Zhang Tiedan like a grandson. Did Zhang Tiedan hit her?"

Aunt Zhang pointed at Lin Xiuhua, who had already run over.

"No way, isn't she pregnant? Even if Zhang Tiedan is a scoundrel, he should at least consider that she's pregnant."

Wang Ersao also saw it.

Lin Yue'e is almost eight months pregnant now, and Zhang Tiedan brought her the money today, so she's happy to watch the show.

However, he also couldn't understand why Zhang Tiedan had suddenly become so assertive. Moreover, Zhang Heiwa had already sent over a hundred yuan, so the Zhang family should have run out of money to borrow. But when Zhang Tiedan came to return the money today, he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, as if the money wasn't his.

They're going to beat up Lin Xiuhua when they get back. What kind of tactic is this?

"Yeah, I also think it's impossible. After what Zhang Tiedan did, Lin Xiuhua is still willing to stay with him. He should be grateful. How could he possibly lay a hand on Lin Xiuhua?"

It wasn't that Lin Yue'e underestimated Zhang Tiedan; his family was all in the village.

Lin Xiuhua has two maternal families; the two brothers in the Lin family can call her "father" and "mother."

After returning home, Lin Xiuhua first went to Lin Xiangyang's house and found Zhou Huiru, who was making shoes for her son on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Mother, Zhang Tiedan hit me! Mother, where is Father? You must stand up for me! Hit him back!"

Zhou Huiru felt disgusted at the mere sound of Lin Xiuhua's voice. She called her mother "Mom," yet Lin Xiuhua was so affectionate with Zhang Guifen every day—even though Lin Xiuhua wasn't her biological daughter. She waved her hand dismissively.

"Don't call me 'Mom,' I'm not your mom. Your mom lives next door."

Zhou Huiru has come to terms with it; from now on, she just needs to be good to her son. After all, it's her daughter's responsibility to care for her.

"Mother, how can you say such a thing? I'm your daughter, how could you..."

"No, you're not my child, you're Zhang Guifen's child. You need to talk to your mother about this; I'm just an outsider. Or you can go to your father; you have two fathers, don't you?"

Zhou Huiru doesn't want to be her mother anyway. Let whoever wants to be her be it.

Lin Xiuhua stomped her foot in anger and went to the backyard to find her father.

As soon as she opened the back door, she saw her father [foster father Lin Xiangyang] and her biological mother [Zhang Guifen] talking.

Naturally, the two were discussing how to deal with Zhang Tiedan and didn't dare to do anything strange.

As soon as they heard the back door open, they all turned around to look.

"Father, Mother, you must stand up for me! Zhang Tiedan hit me... Waaaaah..."

Lin Xiangyang was startled, thinking that Zhou Huiru had come to the backyard. After all, he felt guilty.

"What's wrong?"

When Zhang Guifen saw the slap mark on Lin Xiuhua's face, which was swollen high, she immediately rushed forward and hugged Lin Xiuhua with heartache.

"Oh my God, what happened? Who hit you like that? So cruel! They've lost their conscience! How could they beat my daughter like that?"

Zhang Guifen touched Lin Xiuhua's face. Lin Xiuhua screamed in pain.

"It's Zhang Tiedan. He'll beat me up when he gets home today. Mother, call Father and Jinbao. You have to get revenge for me and beat him back. I want him to kneel on the ground and beg me."

Lin Xiuhua thought that since she had many relatives, if she called them, Zhang Tiedan would definitely be terrified.

But when the two heard that it was Zhang Tiedan who hit her, they didn't protect her as expected.

"You should talk to her. Why fight over something so trivial? It's just a little argument, why go looking for trouble? She's just wasting her time."

Lin Xiangyang dared not cause trouble for Zhang Tiedan now. He put his hands behind his back, turned around, and went back.

Zhang Guifen held Lin Xiuhua's hand, carefully considering how to persuade her daughter.

"You know, you don't understand. This is how all women go through after they get married. Your father used to beat me too. What's the big deal? Couples argue, it's normal. They fight in bed and make up in bed. Just bear with it and it'll pass. Besides, we're getting old here. Your brother fell into a cesspool the other day and doesn't want to go out. Even if he did go, he couldn't beat Zhang Tiedan."

Hearing her own mother's words, Lin Xiuhua couldn't believe she had said them. She was actually telling her to endure it, and even saying that being beaten was normal.

"Are you even my mother? Is that even human language you're speaking?"

Lin Xiuhua cried even louder.

"How dare you talk like that? I'm your mother. Would I ever hurt you with my words? Look around the village, how many men don't beat their wives? If you're more obedient and hardworking from now on, they won't beat you anymore."

Zhang Guifen knew perfectly well why Zhang Tiedan was now targeting Lin Xiuhua – it was because he had leverage over her and Lin Xiangyang.

If she dares to stand up for Lin Xiuhua, who knows what nonsense Zhang Tiedan will spout when he gets out.

Lin Yue'e and the others watched for a long time but didn't see the Lin family members going to cause trouble for Zhang Tiedan. She remembered what Gu Jingyan had told her before, that after the New Year, she should bring two things to the village chief.

Find a buyer for this house we live in. They're not coming back, so there's no point in keeping it.

It's only been built for less than three years; it should be able to be sold. We can get some money from it. We definitely can't let the Lin family benefit from it.

"Second sister-in-law, when are you going to the commune to buy me a couple of things?"

What do you want to buy?

Lin Yue'e thought about the things Gu Jingyan had mentioned last time: a packet of white sugar and a bottle of white wine.

"Then just buy a bag of snacks and two packs of cigarettes."

It only cost a little over a dollar. It shouldn't be considered impolite.

"Cigarettes? Why are you buying cigarettes?"

"Yes, Yue'e, you're pregnant. You don't still want to smoke, do you?"

Grandma Wang couldn't help but think this way, since Gu Jingyan wasn't there. She even bought cigarettes.

"No, how could I smoke? I bought the cigarettes as a gift. They're useful."

Lin Yue'e thought about Grandma Wang's family—four sons, three daughters, and many grandchildren. Suddenly, she wondered if it was possible to sell the house to them.

"Well, Gu Jingyan and I have discussed it and decided that we'll be living in the city from now on and won't be coming back to live here much. We'd like to sell the house. I was thinking of talking to the village chief about it and asking him to help us see if anyone is willing to buy it."

Sure enough, Grandma Wang's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this. You know, even if the village approves the estate, it still needs to be built, and it will cost a lot of money and effort.

He has more than a dozen grandsons, and some of them are almost of marriageable age.

She could ask them if they wanted the house. So she took the initiative to ask:

"So, how much are you planning to sell it for?"

If it's too expensive, you might as well build it yourself. However, if the price is right, buying it would be more cost-effective. This house hasn't even been lived in for three years yet.
