"Huh," someone in the crowd jeered, "Who’s asking you to cry for them? Not to mention the Qin Family, even the people of Qin Family Village are good to Sister Chuxia. Sister Chuxia wouldn’t suffer if she left a maternal family like yours."
"That’s right, the only ones she suffers from are her so-called relatives like you. If I were Sister Chuxia, I would cut ties with relatives like you."
"Can’t you see? They don’t want to sever ties with Chuxia; they still want to cling to her and suck her blood."
"I agree, how thick-faced can they be? The elder daughter does such ungrateful things, expecting the younger daughter to help pay for it. Their hearts lean entirely to one side, yet they act so righteous. Even as parents, there’s no logic in that."
"Sister Chuxia, don’t be sad. If they don’t care for you, the people of Qin Family Village will. We are all your kin."
Lin Chuxia deliberately confronted the Lin Family at the entrance of Xiyang Food Factory, wanting everyone to see the Lin Family’s true colors.
She was doing business outside and couldn’t ignore her own reputation.
Easily cutting ties with her family would result in even more gossip, and the envious would even fabricate the nastiest rumors about you.
Even if she wanted to distance herself from her family, she needed to clear her own name.
She just didn’t expect to end up with such an outcome.
Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily, "Thank you, everyone, thank you so much."
She bowed deeply to the villagers present, and at that moment, she seemed to have found the meaning to live her life all over again.
When she got home, Qin Han, Qin Liang, Qin Wu, and even Qin Jiang were all there.
Upon seeing her return, Qin Han approached her immediately.
"Sister-in-law, how did it go? Is everything resolved?"
Mr. and Mrs. Qin also looked on worriedly.
Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, "It’s resolved; they’ve all gone back."
Qin Han clenched his fist, "The family should have intervened, just to let them know that you have support."
If it was someone else, his brothers would have already gone out.
But those were Lin Chuxia’s maternal family members, and since Lin Chuxia had spoken, they couldn’t deal with it too forcefully.
Lin Chuxia appreciated their kindness, but involving the Qin Family would not be good for the Qin Family’s reputation, regardless of the truth.
Even if she severed ties with the Lin Family, the outside world would easily distort the facts, turning the situation into one where the powerful bully the weak, looking down on poor relatives.
This was her matter with her maternal family, and her intervention would achieve the result she desired.
Once the other Qin Family members left, Mrs. Qin, with a worried face, pulled her aside, "Why don’t we call Yangyang and have him come back for a while? Didn’t they say his workplace gives him leave? We can take the leave now."
Her daughter-in-law’s parents were utterly partial to one side, but they couldn’t say much. Yangyang, as Chuxia’s husband, would be easier to approach for some matters.
Even if he does nothing, having Yangyang at home would provide support to his wife.
Lin Chuxia gently patted her hand, "Mom, it’s really okay now. Qin Yang is busy with work; let’s not bother him with this."
Mrs. Qin was torn between looking out for her daughter-in-law and contemplating carefully for her son.
It was still best to ensure the eldest son and daughter-in-law look after things more closely.
Lin Chuxia knew that after she had spoken, Mr. Lin and Mother Lin left because their son weighed more heavily in their hearts compared to the elder daughter.
