Chapter 66: Her Daughter Was Her Reverse Scale

Yu Wanqin was startled by this sudden turn of events. After recognizing the visitors, her face instantly turned cold. “Give up the job? Do you think a hospital position is like cabbage at the vegetable market, available whenever you want it?”

Although she didn’t know how the Lin family had managed to come to the Military District, thinking about what they had done to her and her daughter over the years made her furious.

In the past, she had truly been blinded and intimidated by them, retreating again and again.

But now, for her daughter’s sake, she absolutely could not continue being so weak!

Old Mrs. Lin hadn’t expected her to dare speak to her like this and was so angry her lips twitched uncontrollably.

Hands on her hips, she righteously cursed, “If a country woman like you who knows nothing can work here, why can’t my son?”

“Don’t think you’re something special just because you’ve recognized some worthless god-kin relationship! My son is still a Deputy Battalion Commander! You little bitch, I advise you to be sensible and go find your leader immediately, voluntarily offer to give up your job. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

She rolled up her sleeves, looking ready for a fight.

Yu Wanqin almost laughed. “Not only can this job not be transferred, but even if it could, why should I give it to you?”

“Because you’re the Lin family’s daughter-in-law! The Lin family’s jobs should go to the Lin family’s sons!” Old Mr. Lin also stepped forward, leaning on his smoking pipe, acting as if this were only natural. “You, an outsider and a woman at that, occupying such a good job—what kind of behavior is that! Hurry up and give it up!”

Yu Wanqin looked over coldly, carrying an intimidating presence.

It actually managed to intimidate Old Mr. Lin, who had always been the dominant, unquestioned authority at home.

He instinctively took a step back.

Yu Wanqin’s voice was icy. “First, I earned this job through my own abilities. It has nothing to do with the Lin family or Lin Zhiguo! Second, I will soon no longer be the Lin family’s daughter-in-law. I am currently in the process of divorcing Lin Zhiguo. So, please step aside and stop causing trouble here!”

“Divorce?!” The old couple and Lin Youcai were all stunned!

Old Mrs. Lin then jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on, pointing at Yu Wanqin’s nose and cursing loudly.

“Well, well! I knew you were heartless! Once you got benefits, you want to kick my son aside! No way! You have to give up this job even more! Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving today!”

As she spoke, she actually reached out to grab Yu Wanqin’s white coat!

Lin Youcai also looked shifty-eyed, wanting to take advantage of the situation to get closer.

Just then.

“Bad guys! Don’t bully my Mother!”

A clear, angry little voice suddenly rang out.

Tongtong, who had just finished school with her small backpack, ran over like an enraged little beast, swiftly pushing away Old Mrs. Lin’s hand and standing protectively in front of her mother!

Seeing her, Old Mrs. Lin became even more aggressive.

Clutching her reddened hand, she pointed at Tongtong and shouted angrily, “You little bitch, how dare you rebel! You even dare to hit me! Truly a worthless girl born from a whore! Just wait, I’ll beat you to death!”

As soon as the words fell, her palm, large as a cattail leaf fan, was about to land on Tongtong’s face.

Yu Wanqin’s eyes turned cold. She grabbed the old lady’s arm and said darkly, “Try laying a finger on my daughter! I’ll make your son pack up and return to his hometown, believe it or not! At worst, it’ll be mutual destruction!”

“You… you wouldn’t dare!” Old Mrs. Lin glared, furious.

Yu Wanqin shoved her away and sneered, “See if I dare or not!”

Her daughter was her reverse scale.

She would fight anyone who touched her.

Seeing her resolute and determined demeanor, the Lin family dared not disbelieve her.

They truly realized it now.

This second daughter-in-law was no longer the old workhorse they could push around and manipulate as they pleased!

She had slipped from their control!

Old Mrs. Lin trembled with rage: “You shameless woman!”

Old Mr. Lin’s face also darkened.

Lin Youcai’s eyes darted around, leering at Yu Wanqin’s chest, which heaved with anger.

Their argument drew the attention of those nearby.

Even the foolish Lin family knew they couldn’t make a scene in front of so many people.

Old Mr. Lin frowned and said unhappily, “What kind of daughter-in-law raises a hand against her mother-in-law? Yu Wanqin, have you forgotten all about filial piety and upbringing since coming to the Military District? Now that you have someone backing you, you look down on us country relatives?”

The old lady simply plopped down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and began to wail.

“Ah! My daughter-in-law thinks she’s climbed to a higher branch now! She got a job thanks to my son, and now she wants to kick him aside and even hit us, her old parents-in-law! Oh, the injustice! This is bullying!”

Those who didn’t know the whole story looked at Yu Wanqin with suspicion.

Mother worked at the hospital and couldn’t bear such a tarnished reputation.

Tongtong’s little face flushed red with anger. Her big eyes glared at Old Mr. Lin and Old Mrs. Lin, her voice loud and clear, as if she wanted everyone passing by to hear.

“You’re not my family! You’re all big bad people!”

“You bullied Mom back in the countryside! When Mom was sick with a fever, you still forced her to go up the mountain to chop firewood. Mom almost froze to death in the ravine! During New Year’s when we made dumplings, you and Uncle ate all the meat filling, while Mom and I only got to drink the dumpling soup!”

“Grandma, you even pinched me, called me a money-losing burden, and wouldn’t let Mom feed me! You wanted to starve me to death! Now that Mom has become a doctor on her own, you want to come and take it all away! You’re shameless! Bad people! Big bad people!”

The little girl’s tearful accusations were like hammers, striking heavily on everyone’s hearts.

She laid bare, in a raw and bloody manner, the grievances and injustices she and her mother had endured in the countryside all those years.

Remembering her own past suffering, Yu Wanqin’s eyes also reddened.

Those three dark, sunless years were the darkest period of her life.

She had been oppressed by the Lin family until she couldn’t straighten her back, worn down by endless daily labor.

If not for her father’s dying wish that she must not leave the village, she would have gone to the Military District long ago to seek answers.

But now, for Tongtong’s sake, even if it meant defying her father’s last wish, she would never return to that place again.

The doctors and nurses getting off work, as well as the patients’ families nearby, gathered around, listening in stunned silence. Their gazes toward Old Mr. Lin’s family were filled with contempt and anger.

Dean Su, who had hurried over, happened to hear the last few sentences. His face turned livid with rage!

He had already learned from Gu Yanbin and Liu Zhenjun that Yu Wanqin and her daughter had a difficult past, but he never imagined they had been oppressed to such an extent!

He couldn’t let a talent of their hospital be bullied like this!

“Enough!” Dean Su roared angrily, stepping forward and directly ordering the hospital security personnel: “Escort these three troublemakers who are disrupting hospital order out of here! From now on, they are not allowed to set foot in this hospital ever again! If anyone dares to harass our doctors again, report them to the police immediately!”

The security personnel, who had long been unable to stand it, immediately stepped forward and unceremoniously drove Old Mr. Lin’s family away.

Old Mr. Lin and Old Mrs. Lin still wanted to throw a tantrum, but they were forcibly lifted up by the security personnel.

“Yu Wanqin! You unfilial wretch! You’ll die a miserable death!” Old Mrs. Lin turned her head and cursed: “How dare you divorce! Our Lin family will never agree!”
