Back to 1984: Earning Money, Raising Kids, and Keeping the Household Busy

Chapter 213 Dividing the Family Property and Marrying a Widow

The captain rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "Li Lian, this is your family matter, but I still want to say something fair. If you can't live like this anymore, then get a divorce. Everyone can have some peace and quiet. If you keep making a scene like this, everyone will get impatient."

“Who said I wouldn’t get a divorce? The brigade leader is here to witness, so I, Li Lian, agree to the divorce, but Lin Zhi must leave with nothing!” Li Lian said with a strong voice.

Everyone looked at each other, knowing without a doubt that Lin Zhi would disagree.

Li Lian continued, "We only have these few dilapidated houses. Jianguo squandered all our other money. The money we used to bribe officials when Lin Zhi went to jail was borrowed. Apart from the house and the land, we don't have anything of value. If he doesn't agree to leave with nothing, he can pay off his debts himself. Don't expect my son to contribute any money."

Lin Jianqiang nodded with a stern face. "This house and land were originally meant for me. If he doesn't want to give it to me, I can refuse it, but he has to pay me back the money he borrowed to help him with his connections."

"Dream on!" Lin Zhi gritted his teeth, squeezing out each word through gritted teeth.

Lin Jianqiang smiled and said, "If you're not happy, we'll go to court. I'll always be able to get justice for my mother and myself."

Seeing how ugly their argument was, the captain had no choice but to step in and smooth things over. "Alright, alright, we've roughly understood what happened. Lin Zhi, to be honest, you did act unfairly. If you want a divorce, then get a divorce. But the house should indeed go to Jianqiang. After your accident, Jianqiang used all the money he had saved to build the house to bribe people for you."

You really can't win a real lawsuit. If you ask me, the house should be transferred to Jianqiang's name. Jianqiang, although your father did something wrong, how will he live after leaving with nothing?
Since you and your husband both work, and your mother is farming the land, why not give it to your father so he can earn some money, right? You wouldn't want him constantly asking you for money, would you?

Lin Jianqiang immediately shook his head, "Captain, I have to support my family. I can give him a bite to eat, but I don't have any money."

Lying on the ground, Lin Zhi was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"There's still money!"

He gritted his teeth and roared.

The captain looked at Li Lian.

Li Lian sneered, "What money? He hasn't earned a single penny for this family in the years he's been in prison. The money he used to spend on bribes was all borrowed. Now, all the money in this family is earned by me. If he wants a share of my money, he can just die!"

The captain blushed upon hearing this and glared at Lin Zhi angrily, "Your wife has made herself so clear. It's outrageous for a grown man to steal a woman's money!"

I think you're probably unaware of this situation. Now that we've brought it up, let's leave it at that. Tomorrow, go to the village committee to complete the property transfer, then get the divorce certificate. Go about your business as usual, and stop making a fuss.

Lin Zhi was unwilling, but the brigade leader and the villagers all came. Unless he didn't get a divorce, he had to follow this method.

Thinking of the young widow's alluring figure and her adorable little son, his heart stirred again.

In a moment of impulse, Li Lian actually went to the village committee with Lin Jianqiang to transfer the house to Lin Jianqiang, and then dragged Li Lian to the city to get a divorce.

Once he got the divorce certificate, he immediately rushed to the young widow's parents' house to pick her up.

No sooner had Lin Zhi driven him away than Lin Jianqiang threw his belongings out of the house and went to the city to buy two heavy iron gates, replacing both the courtyard gate and the main gate, as well as the locks.

The villagers watched coldly, and everyone could see that Lin Jianqiang hated Lin Zhi to the core.

At this moment, Lin Zhi was still immersed in the joy of winning the heart of his beauty. He excitedly went to the house of the young widow Liu Chunzhi, only to find that Liu Chunzhi had taken her child to play in the village. He could only wait patiently at home.

Meanwhile, Liu Chunzhi, who was having sex with a man next door, also heard the commotion. She quickly tidied herself up, got dressed, and quietly left by climbing over the back wall with her child. A while later, she reappeared in front of Lin Zhi as if nothing had happened.

"Why did you suddenly come? Did your tigress agree to a divorce?" Liu Chunzhi winked at him.

Lin Zhihun was completely captivated, and staring lecherously at Liu Chunzhi's chest, he said, "If she doesn't agree, can I come to see you? It's just that I'll lose the house; the fields are still mine. From now on, we'll live in your house, and I'll give you and the child a proper status!"

"Get lost!" Liu Chunzhi playfully shoved Lin Zhi, then said coquettishly, "Even though I gave you a son, I can't just follow you like this. You have to marry me properly!"

Lin Zhi's expression changed, and he chuckled, "What kind of relationship do we have! What's the point of all that nonsense? Don't worry, as long as you're with me, I can definitely support you and our son."

Liu Chunzhi knew immediately that Lin Yi had changed his mind, and her face darkened. "Lin Zhi, what do you mean? You were the one who said that your brother was rich but had no son, and that everything in his family would be yours. You also promised to marry me for a thousand yuan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed you like this and even given birth to your son."

Now that things are fading, you're going to turn your back on me? There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Seeing Liu Chunzhi's change of expression, Lin Zhi immediately smiled apologetically, "Who said I changed my mind? I just haven't met my older brother yet! You know what my older brother's family situation is, he only has two married daughters, and everything they left behind belongs to our sons, right?"

Liu Chunzhi softened a bit, but still looked dissatisfied. "All you've mentioned is that dilapidated house in the village and those few acres of land. What else? Can he really give our son that?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, with me here, you definitely won't get away!"

Lin Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Chunzhi smile again.

He pulled her into the house.

Liu Chunzhi put her son in the cradle and reluctantly gave in to him.

After their lovemaking, she snuggled into Lin Zhi's arms and said coquettishly, "My parents said I can't go with you without a thousand yuan. Just bring the money over, or they might marry me off to someone else."

"You've given me a son, how can you marry someone else!" Lin Zhi immediately retorted angrily.

Liu Chunzhi pouted, feeling wronged, "Who told you not to give betrothal gifts!"

Lin Zhi's momentum instantly diminished by three points, and he secretly plotted how to get that thousand yuan.

Lin Yi is heartless and ruthless, so asking him for money is obviously unrealistic. More importantly, he doesn't even know which way Lin Qin's front door faces, so even if he makes a scene, he won't get the money. As for his son, there's even less hope. That debt collector almost beat him to death yesterday.

Thinking back to yesterday, he felt the pain returning to his body.

He figured no one else in the village would lend him money, so after thinking it over, selling the land was the only option.

So Lin Zhi immediately started arranging to sell the land after returning to the village.

Li Lian was furious and was about to rush out to confront Lin Zhi when her daughter-in-law stopped her, saying, "Mom, have you lost your mind? You and your father-in-law are divorced, you're not family anymore, you have no right to interfere in his affairs!"

Li Lian stood there, stunned.

In the end, they still didn't leave through that door.
