Chapter 208: Chapter 207: Should Be Shared

Lin Xia scoffed, "Then why don’t you ask him how he has treated us? Did he tell you about his shameless behavior at my stall, refusing to pay and not leaving?" If Lin Aiguo hadn’t been pressing her every step of the way, would she have acted like that?

Lin Aiguo cursed furiously, "Isn’t it only right that I ask you for money? I raise a cat or dog, and even they wag their tails at me!

What good has it been raising you all these years! Eventually, you even sent me to that kind of place!"

He really wanted to tear Lin Xia apart. If it hadn’t been for his sister holding him back, he wouldn’t have bothered wasting words on her!

Lin Xia didn’t give in an inch, "Why did I send you there? Isn’t it because you were causing trouble here, preventing people from buying goods, and telling them that you have a mental illness?"

One could say her drastic actions weren’t solely due to Lin Aiguo’s one instance, but rather an accumulation of many issues that led her to do so.

However, his shameless behavior here was just the last straw that broke the camel’s back!

Lin Aiguo was so angry he nearly lost his mind, his face red and veins on his forehead bulging, "I was just talking, wasn’t I? Don’t you know whether I am really ill or not? And yet you tell others I am sick! I’m going to teach you a lesson today! See how you can still be smug!"

As he spoke, he moved to smash the stall, but Lin Xia immediately pulled out a wooden stick she had prepared for a long time, ready to strike anyone, no matter who it was!

Jiang Mingyuan had always been standing by Lin Xia’s side, watching the scene with a cold expression.

He, too, had seen quite a bit of the world, but this was truly the first time he had seen such family members.

Even if this man was Lin Xia’s biological father, if Lin Xia gave the order to hit him, he wouldn’t hesitate!

Lin Aijia was also furious, thinking there was something wrong with Lin Xia’s mindset, but seeing Lin Xia’s aggressive behavior, she timely grabbed Lin Aiguo. After all, Lin Xia was the type to dare to stab someone with a knife, and hitting her big brother was nothing new.

She felt that certain things still needed to be said in front of so many people, to let everyone hear what kind of person Lin Xia was and to see how she could still have the face to stay here afterwards!

"Lin Xia! What kind of thing is that to say! Is it wrong for an old man like your dad to ask you for money? You aren’t even married or anything, so were all those years raising you for nothing? Aren’t you supposed to give some money to your dad?"

"Go out and ask around, where are there any children as unfilial as you! If it were in the past, you’d have been condemned to death by societal judgement!"

When she hadn’t been married and was living at home, didn’t she have to hand over all the money she earned?

Now, Lin Chun had run off to work in another area, and Lin Qiu and Lin Dong were both outside with Lin Xia, her big brother asking Lin Xia for money was totally reasonable!

Lin Xia really didn’t have a good impression of Lin Aijia. Although she was her aunt, what had she ever managed concerning them over the years? She was just as conniving as Lin Aiguo!

She sneered, "Why should I give him anything? Right now, I not only have to support us, but I also have to pay for Lin Dong’s education, and I barely know how I’ll survive!

Besides, what do I give him! He’s demanding two hundred a month like a lion’s mouth wide open!

I want to ask, how much does your whole family of four earn combined, and after subtracting food and drink, how much is left?"

Even if she could earn money and have quite a bit left each month, she still didn’t want to give Lin Aiguo any money.

Unless what he asked for was reasonable, two hundred was a lot of money at this time, and why should she work herself to death only to benefit him?

Lin Aijia was stunned by the amount of two hundred a month!

Their whole family worked, and each person’s few dozen yuan salary added up wasn’t inconsiderate, yet even after deducting food and drink, they couldn’t save two hundred a month!

Qian Chunli and Lin Yu looked at each other in dismay. Although they had come together, they stayed outside the greenhouse and didn’t enter with the others, they really didn’t know that Lin Aiguo had not directly settled with Lin Xia because he was asking her for money!

Lin Aiguo couldn’t stand the look in Lin Aijia’s eyes, and he shouted evasively, "Stop talking nonsense, how can doing business compare with working a regular job for a fixed salary? The amount of money I’m asking from you might sound like a lot, but isn’t it something you can earn back in just a few days?"

His mother had inquired about it already; one must not underestimate these small traders, they earn dozens in just a day!

The surrounding vendors who were enjoying the drama looked at Lin Aiguo with side glances. They had even pitied this man before, who was clearly not sick but had been sent to a mental hospital by his own daughter.

Now it seems that this pitiable person must have a hateful side!

Was it easy for them to earn a bit of money day by day? With what he said, it seemed that they didn’t have to suffer at all and could just sit and collect money!

Lin Aijia, who worked every day, really had no idea how lucrative doing business could be; she suddenly changed her tone, "Lin Xia! No matter what, he’s still your father! He raised all of you to be this big! There’s nothing wrong with him asking you for money! Even if the amount your father is asking for is too much, if you don’t agree—

No matter what you say, you shouldn’t have sent him there; is that something a human does? Aren’t you afraid of retribution?"

She could feel something wasn’t right every time she remembered having to pick him up from there.

No matter what, he is her real father!

Lin Xia simply didn’t care, "What’s there to be scared of? Even if I die and go to hell, I won’t let him control me! Has he ever acted decently all these years? How has he treated us? Maybe he’s the one who should worry about retribution!

And have you sorted out your own family matters yet, coming here to lecture me?"

She knew that Yu Hongmei and Cao Jianbin hadn’t ended up together!

Lin Aijia had seen Lin Xia’s ruthlessness before, and she had prepared herself mentally before coming, but when Lin Xia really spoke such disrespectful words without restraint, her chest heaved with anger.

"What’s wrong with me lecturing you? Am I not your aunt? Can’t I, as an elder, reprimand you when you do something wrong? Why are you so ungrateful?"

Big brother! I don’t care about your family matters anymore! Handle it however you want!"

Lin Aijia was infuriated by Lin Xia’s harsh words; this wasn’t how children should act, but more like a debt collector!

She waved her hand in frustration, no longer trying to stop them; let them do as they please!

"You little brat! Who are you saying will get retribution? I’ll kill you!"

Lin Aiguo had been itching to deal with Lin Xia, and if it were not for Lin Aijia holding him back, he would have taken action earlier!

Now that Lin Aijia had stepped aside, Lin Aiguo rushed towards Lin Xia! But since Lin Xia was standing inside the stall, he had to jump in to reach him.

Before he could make a move, Jiang Mingyuan leaped out of the stall and gestured to someone not far away.

Actually, the reason he had waited until now to call someone over was to let everyone hear what kind of person Lin Aiguo was, to make their own judgments and to lessen the misunderstandings and biases against Lin Xia.

It looked quite successful, as he noticed different expressions on several people’s faces.

He couldn’t stand them talking this way about Lin Xia; even if he knew that what Lin Xia had done was severe and extreme, he still thought it was nothing.

Different people deserve different treatment; being too kind to these people is just cruelty to oneself!

At that moment, Liu Peng, who had been waiting on the side, stepped forward with some people, "Stop! What are you doing? What sort of behavior is this, making such a racket?"
