Chapter 1814: Chapter 1814: No Maternal Relatives Left

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single word.

"Dad, how can they do this? This is simply robbery. We could report this to the authorities!" Lin Caiqing was shocked when she heard what her father said.

When she heard about the other matters just now, she was already too shocked to speak, but upon hearing this, she was utterly... How could she possibly have such a grandmother and uncle?

Is this banditry? It’s even more ruthless than banditry!

"Qing’er, that’s your maternal grandmother," Lin Changfeng remarked about his sister.

"What maternal grandmother? I have no such maternal grandmother!"

Lin Caiqing frowned and snorted coldly as she said.

If the maternal grandmother and uncle were kind-hearted people, who treated her and her elder brother well, and were also good to her mother, then it would be right to show them filial respect.

But what about now? What kind of people are they, to be called a maternal grandmother?

"Elder brother, if you acknowledge that maternal grandmother, she will surely suck you dry of all your blood one day! One cannot be so kind-hearted, especially not towards those who are malicious and vicious."

She earnestly advised her own elder brother.

"Mom, am I right?"

As she said this, she looked at her own mother and asked coyly.

"Right, my Qing’er has really grown up and become sensible," Yang Lin said, smiling as she gently stroked Lin Caiqing’s nose.

"Changfeng, after the events of yesterday and today, I’ve come to understand that your maternal grandmother will never change. She will always be opportunistic, and if we keep indulging her, she will bring you endless trouble in the future."

She had felt sad earlier, partly because she had such a mother and elder brother, which was sorrowful, but mostly because she was conflicted about whether to sever this familial bond.

"I have been married into the Lin Family for nearly twenty years now; I am a member of the Lin Family, and I don’t really have much to do with the Yang Family anymore. To speak the truth, when my mother arranged my marriage, she didn’t even prepare a proper dowry, which was practically like selling a daughter.

Now I see things clearly. From now on, I am going to completely sever ties with the Yang Family!"

On her way back from Yang Family Village, she kept mulling over what it was all for, why she had to have such a birth mother who disregarded even the life and death of her own daughter for her own gain.

It wasn’t until she was almost home that she figured it out.

Ever since the years before she was married, when she was still in her birth family, until she married into the Lin Family, the way her mother treated her all these years made her finally understand.

It turned out her mother never really saw her as her own child.

Instead, she was seen as a tool to be raised and then married off in exchange for silver.

This was also the reason why her mother had demanded such a high bride price from the Lin Family and didn’t give her a single copper of dowry.

"Ah."

She sighed deeply.

"Dad, Mom, sister-in-law, I’ve figured it out too. From now on, just think of me as someone you picked up from outside. I have no family of my own."

"Third Aunt, are you sure?"

Lin Caisang looked earnestly at Yang Lin and asked.

"I am sure."

Yang Lin nodded seriously.

How could she be unsure? This was for her own children. Changfeng’s future lay before her, and at home, she had two younger sons still to feed.

She thought that although her mother’s words were meant to threaten her into producing the silver, she had to take action.
