Chapter 1415 Broken Engagement 64
Chapter 1415 Breaking off the Engagement 64
Shen Lin was admitted to university and wanted to abandon his wife and daughter. He also took all the money in the family and ran away secretly. However, he was stopped at the train station by his father-in-law Xu Qiang and his men.
Shen Lin was caught and had one of his legs broken by the furious Xu Qiang.
The handsome face that had remained during the years of working in the countryside was now covered with bloody marks from Xu Jiaojiao's scratches, and his face was also cut with porcelain pieces. His handsome face was basically disfigured.
In order to punish Shen Lin, Xu Jiaojiao locked him in the room and did not let him drink a sip of water or eat a bite of food for three days. No one took him to get treatment for his leg and face injuries.
As for Shen Lin's admission letter, it was taken by his brother-in-law Xu Hongwu to report to the school, but he was soon reported. Xu Hongwu was expelled from the school and was arrested by the police.
In the end, Xu Hongwu was fined three hundred yuan and returned to the Northwest Farm with his luggage in disgrace. The fact that he replaced Shen Lin to go to college was also known to everyone on the farm.
The Xu family became infamous and notorious because of this, and Xu Qiang was dismissed from his position. The family became ordinary farmers on the farm.
When Xu Qiang was in office, he offended many people. Now he has been dismissed. The people he offended in the past are now turning around and bullying his family.
In the past, the family did the easiest work on the farm, but received the highest work points. Now, the family does the heaviest and most tiring work, but receives the lowest work points, and has to endure the ridicule of the people on the farm every day.
Xu Hongwu couldn't bear the hardship and the ridicule from others, so he blamed all the suffering on Shen Lin.
If Shen Lin hadn't wanted to abandon his wife and daughter and take their family away, they wouldn't have gone to the train station to arrest him with such fanfare and made a big deal out of it.
No one would know that he went to college in his place.
All this is Shen Lin's fault.
Every time Xu Hongwu came back from outside feeling angry, he would beat Shen Lin to vent his anger.
Because Shen Lin's leg was broken and had not yet been treated, it was swollen and purple and he could not move at all. When his brother-in-law hit him, he could not fight back.
Even if he fought back, he alone couldn't beat the entire family.
In this way, Shen Lin's position in the Xu family became the lowest one, and anyone could scold him or beat him.
Shen Lin almost became the punching bag of everyone in the Xu family.
Because he was often beaten, his leg injury never healed and was always red, swollen, and purple, causing unbearable pain. The wound on his face had originally scabbed over, but was scratched by Xu Jiaojiao.
Xu Jiaojiao resented him for abandoning his wife and daughter, resented him for making her a laughing stock on the entire farm, and resented him for being cold and heartless. Whenever she got angry outside, she would scratch him.
This happened over and over again. By the summer, the wound on Shen Lin's face became infected and slowly began to rot. The wound on his leg also became infected due to repeated injuries and caused him to have a fever. However, the Xu family hated him so much that no one cared about his life or death.
Xu Jiaojiao gave him a bowl of wild vegetable and corn porridge every day, keeping him hanging on to life so that the whole family could vent their anger.
Shen Lin's body was delicate to begin with, and he had never endured such suffering. After his body was infected, he had a high fever for three days and three nights, and he died before he could make it.
The day he died happened to be Hong Shanshan’s memorial day the year before.
A few days after Shen Lin's death, Shen Guoan and Liu Hongyan learned the news. Because the two were sent here after being sentenced and could not leave the farm before their sentence expired, Shen Lin pretended not to know them, for fear that people would look down on him if they knew he was the son of Shen Guoan and Liu Hongyan.
When Shen Lin died, no one on the farm knew about the relationship between Shen Guoan, Liu Hongyan and Shen Lin.
