Chapter 1141: Chapter 1141: Get out of this house!

"File a lawsuit?!"

Elder Mr. Zhou pushed his hand away and slapped him across the face.

"Without the deed of sale, who are you going to sue? Those people are now free. Besides, did you see them steal anything from our house?"

Moreover, no one knows where they have run off to, so how can they be caught and brought back? Would the county magistrate even listen to them?

"Then what do we do, just swallow this humiliation?" Old Master Zhou retorted.

"What else can we..."

"It’s Lin Caisang, it has to be her. She’s behind this!"

Madam Zhou interrupted Elder Mr. Zhou, her gaze fixed in the distance, her voice like a ghost crawling out of hell.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could Lin Caisang possibly have the means to do this? She..." Old Master Zhou began to scold her, but he stopped himself, forced to close his mouth in the end.

If Lin Caisang had the capacity to do what she had previously claimed, the prospects were indeed likely if her words to them had been true.

"Father, could it really be Lin Caisang?"

He looked towards his father, inquiring.

Upon hearing this, Elder Mr. Zhou took a deep breath, sweeping a glance over his son and grandson.

"At this point, it doesn’t matter who did it. What matters is, how are you going to explain this to your brother when he returns home with his wife from her parents’ house!"

The family estate wasn’t just his alone; it was painstakingly built by his second son, bit by bit.

Now, because of the incompetence of the eldest’s son, the family estate had been squandered. How could there not be chaos when Second comes back?

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Zhou’s face turned crimson.

How would he know what to say? He didn’t steal the silver. It was those servants. What did it have to do with him?

"Father, we could ask Second’s wife for help, her family..."

"Silence!"

Elder Mr. Zhou roared at the sound of his son’s words.

Didn’t he know what kind of temper his daughter-in-law possessed?

If she found out that their family’s estate had vanished overnight, she would likely coax Second into kicking him out, then persuade Second to return with her to her parents’ home to live out their days!

He was not willing to sacrifice his second son for the sake of the eldest. He wouldn’t do such an unwise thing.

"Eldest, spout any more nonsense and you can roll out of this house right now!"

He pointed towards the hall’s entrance, scolding his son.

"Father!"

Old Master Zhou cried out in anger, but he was helpless.

Now penniless, what could he do? Leaving this home meant waiting to starve to death outside.

"Grandfather..."

"You shut up too! It’s because of you that our home has come to this!" As Zhou Liang tried to speak, Elder Mr. Zhou stopped him mid-sentence.

"How is this my fault? Wasn’t it you who insisted on going to the Lin Family? And now, when trouble arises, you’re blaming me?" Zhou Liang muttered indignantly.

Going to the Lin Family wasn’t his idea. And now that their home had been plundered, was it all to be blamed on him?

That was hardly fair.

"You—"

Elder Mr. Zhou, hearing his muttering, nearly choked on his own rage.

How could he have a grandson like this?

"You just wait..."

"Oh, is anyone home?"

Before Elder Mr. Zhou could finish speaking, a shrill voice was heard.
