Chapter 741: Becoming a Concubine

Mrs. Lin slammed to the ground and yelled furiously at Lin Da, "You useless dog, are you dead? Watching me get beaten up by your brother without fighting back!"

Regaining his senses, Lin Da glared at Section Leader Lin, eyes splitting with rage, and grabbed the firewood knife behind the door to slash at him, "Lin Lao’er, you son of a bitch, how dare you hit my wife, I’ll chop you to pieces!"

Section Leader Lin was quite agile; he disarmed Lin Da with a barehanded move, then twisted Lin Da’s hand and kicked him, toppling him to the ground.

Seeing her husband also beaten, Mrs. Lin wailed and threw a tantrum on the floor, "Oh God, open your eyes and behold this damnable Lin Lao’er; not only does he hit his own sister-in-law, but he even tries to kill his elder brother!"

She fearlessly accused Lin Da further, "When your brother pushed me just now, he groped me!"

Section Leader Lin was taken aback and cursed, "You poisonous woman, spouting lies? Who would want to touch you, filthy day in and day out, not taking a bath for half a month, you reek when I’m near you."

"Spit on you, spouting lies? Don’t think I don’t know, boy, from the first day I entered this house, you’ve been giving me strange looks, eyeing my chest and ass. Dare you say you have no designs on me?"

Mrs. Lin covered her face and cried, "Wuu wuu, my child’s father, you can’t be weak. If you show weakness, what status will we hold as husband and wife at home? You’re the eldest son; everything in this house should be yours."

Lin Da was dumbfounded, unable to believe his wife would say such things. What exactly did this wretched woman want to do? Truly wanting to break with Lin Er completely?

Seeing his brother and sister-in-law in this state, Section Leader Lin felt a deep chill, pointing to Mrs. Lin, he asked Lin Da, "Big brother, do you also believe this woman’s lies?"

Lin Da’s eyes shifty, he did not immediately respond but instead posed a question to Section Leader Lin, "San Lang, tell your brother honestly, did you really lose your Section Leader position? You didn’t do anything wrong - just because Le Niang wants to marry Company Commander Qin, he wouldn’t take your rank away, would he?"

Section Leader Lin was not dumb, as he was favored by Qin San Lang to become a Section Leader. He gave a hollow laugh upon hearing Lin Da’s words.

Lin Da, despite being creeped out by his laughter, pressed on with the question, "San Lang, stop laughing. This matter concerns our family’s income - it’s serious. Just tell me whether you still hold the position of Section Leader or not."

"Income? So it is indeed about the silver." Section Leader Lin was finally able to see clearly the people in his family. Wiping his face, he turned to Mrs. Lin, "Mother, if you don’t want our whole Quan Family People to silently perish, let’s divide the family and separate."

If Company Commander Qin dared to expose his secret affairs to him and make a move against him, there would be no help even if he revealed Company Commander Qin’s affairs, as the government officials would not bother.

The person was bought by Company Commander Qin’s silver; how could the government interfere?

Unless he had evidence that You An wanted to kill him, but he had none, only his own side of the story – who would believe him?

And after meeting with You An and others, Section Leader Lin understood quite well that he couldn’t oppose them; he was no match for them, and he had no choice but to follow their lead.

"Disinherit!" Mrs. Lin screamed out, rushing over to grasp his hand and said, "Lao’er can’t disinherit, you’re not even married yet, and your sister hasn’t been wed; Mother still needs to see grandchildren from you brothers."

She then rushed over to fight with Mrs. Lin: "It’s all because of you, you wretched woman, stirring up trouble and turning my sons against each other; I will beat you to death."

Mrs. Lin was someone who dared to strike out; she grabbed Mrs. Lin’s hair and started to scratch and hit, beating Mrs. Lin until her face was bruised and battered.

Mrs. Lin’s son and daughter, upon seeing this, were scared to the point of crying loudly, yet they didn’t dare to come out but instead hid in the room, peeping through the door crack.

Mrs. Lin immediately begged, "Lao’er, for the sake of your nephew and niece, forgive your sister-in-law this time... Your brother isn’t concerned about Silver, he’s afraid that without your position, it will be hard to discuss marriage prospects."

Then she added, "Don’t you fancy Manager Fang’s daughter? Don’t worry, once our family has made money selling Mingya Grass, after the New Year, Mother will go to the Fang family to propose marriage on your behalf."

Section Leader Lin was completely disillusioned: "Mother, my post has already been taken."

He hurriedly spoke before Mrs. Lin could react: "I was not listed for the winter training; I was discontent and sneaked along, even causing a commotion to break into the camp. I was caught by Company Commander Qin, punished for leaving the Military Office without authorization, and have been kicked out of the Military Office. Now, I’m no longer a Section Leader, not even a soldier."

"Lao’er, what are you saying? Is this true?" Mrs. Lin looked at Section Leader Lin anxiously, and upon seeing him nod, she immediately burst into tears, "Oh dear God, how could such a thing happen, what will you do in the future? Why don’t we beg Company Commander Qin, say that our family knows its wrong, we won’t marry Le Niang to him, if he doesn’t despise her, letting Le Niang be his concubine will do."

Section Leader Lin stared wide-eyed in disbelief at his mother: "Mother, how can you say such a thing? Company Commander Qin has no regard for Le Niang, he doesn’t even want to deal with our family, how could he possibly take Le Niang as a concubine?"

They were mad, every single one of them in his family were madmen. No wonder Company Commander Qin was determined to kick him out of the Military Office; with such family members, even if he had the ability and later held high office, he would ultimately be dragged down to death by them.

Lin Leniang, hearing this, put aside the pain from the earlier beating and asked, "Second brother, was it that cheap woman Gu Xiaoyu who instigated Company Commander Qin? It must have been her, that cheap woman; last time she even hypocritically claimed she didn’t fancy Company Commander Qin, encouraging me to confess to him."

She had intended to confess, but unfortunately fell ill, an illness that was peculiar and still made her feel sick thinking back on it.

Section Leader Lin said, "Lin Leniang, look in the water pot, with your character, Company Commander Qin would fancy you?"

Lin Leniang, reprimanded, burst into tears, and then yelled, "I may not be as good-looking as Gu Xiaoyu, but before you, second brother, were willing for me to marry Company Commander Qin, saying that Company Commander Qin would become a General in the future and I’m fit to be a General’s wife – that’s why you let me meet Company Commander Qin. Now you say I’m not worthy of Company Commander Qin, second brother you bastard!"

Section Leader Lin, cursed at, didn’t hit Lin Leniang, but instead said, "Before, indeed I was bewitched at the thought of Company Commander Qin possibly becoming a General in the future, wanting to marry you off to him to benefit from his rise. But I was wrong, how could a promising young man like Company Commander Qin, favored by Deputy General Lan and the others, be manipulated by us?"

Right now, Company Commander Qin’s people are outside; one wrong move from our family and we could be killed at any moment.

Section Leader Lin: "Le Niang, give it up, Company Commander Qin isn’t fond of you; badgering him will not end well. Think about Fang Haitang from Daxing Town; after being publicly scolded by Company Commander Qin, she lost all her reputation, and now she’s already engaged to a young man in her village with the surname Tian – she’ll be married off before long."

"You should hurry up and find someone to marry too; Wu Da, the blacksmith in town, is not bad, and he’s keen on you. Take advantage of my position as Section Leader being stripped away not being known yet, quickly get engaged to Wu Da, and you could still marry into town. Otherwise, you’ll only marry into the countryside and till the fields."
