<h4>Chapter 54: Face Smacking </h4>
This big tiger was the turning point of Lin Yun’s life. No matter what, she would never let Lin Laosan’s family take advantage of her.
Lin Yun stared at Lin Laosan with a cold look in her eyes. Her tender voice rang out in front of all the vigers.
She said, “Since Elder Lin and Elder Li want to put nine years of my upbringing into numbers, then fine. We’ll do it in front of everyone today!”
When Li Cuihua heard Lin Yue Lan’s words, she jumped out and interrupted, “What do you mean by that? No matter how you calcte it, you have spent nine years living with us, eating our food, wearing our clothes, so you owe us.
“Jinx, if you know what’s good for you, hurry up and let us carry this big tiger away. Otherwise, you can convert the nine years of support fees into four hundred taels of silver and give it to me!”
The vigers knew the big tiger was worth three hundred taels of silver, but Li Cuihua directly asked for four hundred taels of silver.
The vigers were once again shocked by Li Cuihua’s greed.
Four hundred taels! Li Cuihua was really shameless.
Three taels of silver were enough for a dozen people to survivefortably for half a year. Lin Yun was only a child. She had only been raised in that home for nine years, so in terms of expenses, it was not even half a tael of silver.
When Lin Yun heard Li Cuihua’s exorbitant demand, her young and tender face turnedpletely cold.
She sneered and asked, “Elder Li, does that mean raising me for nine years will cost 400 taels of silver? Do you remember how I was during those nine years? I was as thin as a stick and only slightly bigger than a kitten.
“In that case, Lin Daguang, Lin Dazhong, Lin Dahua, Lin Xiaohua, Lin Dayao, and all my cousins in the past would at least cost 800 taels of silver to raise since they’re all fair and fat!
“So five of them will cost you at least 4,000 taels of silver. Then, let’s not forget your sons, Lin Daniu, Lin Erniu, Lin Sanniu, and Lin Siniu. Raising them will definitely cost a lot of money. If we calcte it this way, the Lin Family has spent at least 10,000 taels of silver on raising their descendants alone. Elder Li, your family is really rich!”
Lin Yun’sst sentence was obviously sarcastic and mocking.
The vigers were stunned by Lin Yun’s words. When they came back to their senses, they burst intoughter.
She was mocking Li Cuihua. How did Lin Yun turn out so weak and small if they had spent 400 taels of silver to raise her?
“Since you’re so rich, why are you acting like a bandit and robbing me?” Lin Yun asked sharply.
Lin Yun clearly wouldn’t give them the big tiger to pay for the nine years of ‘nurturing’ they had given her.
The vigers looked at Lin Laosan’s family with a mocking expression.
Of course, everyone knew the girl was mocking Li Cuihua. Li Cuihu was the one who asked the girl for four hundred taels of silver. Lin Yun didn’t have money. Even if she did, she wasn’t going to give them the money over such an unreasonable demand.
Li Cuihua said it so grandly because she was jealous of this big tiger and wanted to take it all for herself.
After she was sent back from hell, Lin Yun gained divine power, and her brain became sharp.
In the past, Lin Yun would be cowed with a single word from Li Cuihua. However, she was now openly mocking Li Cuihua’s greed and Lin Laosan’s shamelessness.
Li Cuihua was a shrewd and thick-skinned woman, but she was not very smart. When she wanted something, she would only pester and argue until her goal was achieved.
Therefore, she didn’t hear the sarcasm in Lin Yun’s words. She only angrily pointed at Lin Yun and said, “That’s none of your business. You need to give us 400 taels of silver now!”
Lin Laosan was embarrassed by the vigers’ mockery. He said sternly, “Lan ‘Er, I’ve raised you for nine years. Although I didn’t really use 400 taels of silver, I spent a certain amount of silver. This is the truth!”
Lin Yun immediately pped her hands. She said loudly, “Good! Since Elder Lin wants to talk about the truth, we’ll talk about the truth!
“I was born into the Lin family. This is the truth, and I won’t deny it.
“From one to three years old, I was also raised in the Lin family. This is also the truth, and I won’t deny it.
“So from my birth to three years old, how much would it take to raise a child? Can an auntie tell me?” Lin Yun asked all the women who had given birth.
“500 copper coins at most!” Someone gave Lin Yun an answer. In reality, it was not even five copper coins.
Other families would spend money to buy brown sugar, eggs, and hens for the pregnant mother to recover. They needed nourishment after childbirth.
However, after Chen Xiaoqing was pregnant with Lin Yun, she wasn’t given any extra treatment, in fact, she had to work like normal. Whenever Chen Xiaoqing asked for an extra mouthful of rice, Li Cuihua would scold her for being a freeloader.
After Lin Yun was born, Chen Xiaoqing did not have enough nutrition and did not have any milk. Li Cuihua did not even give Lin Yun any rice porridge. Lin Yun was only fed with cold water and leftover grains. This was because Li Cuihua didn’t allow Lin Sanniu’s family to use the stove.
Of course, only the Lin family knew about these things. Lin Yun was so young, so she would not remember. Chen Xiaoqing was a weak and ipetent person. She didn’t dare to reveal these facts. Otherwise, she might be threatened with divorce again.
Lin Yun nodded, “Alright, let’s count it as half a tael of silver. From the time I was three years old, I was given the tattered clothes that my cousin didn’t want. What I ate was rice soup. I lived in the pigsty. That was how I lived from three to nine years old. I believed my living expense per month wouldn’t even ount for one copper coin.
“For the sake of calction, we’ll calcte it as one copper coin each month. From three to nine years old, that’s six years or seventy-two months. In other words, you’ve spent seventy-two copper coins on me.
“Five hundred copper coins plus seventy-two copper coins equal to five hundred and seventy-two copper coins!” Lin Yun calcted the ount clearly.
When everyone heard what Lin Yun said, they were once again in an uproar.
Outsiders only vaguely knew about the internal affairs of the Lin family.
They had no idea Lin Laosan’s family treated their own granddaughter like this. They were truly worse than animals!
