Mrs. Lin let out a wail and lunged at him, clawing and scratching, "You dare hit my son? Do you still think you’re the captain? Am I afraid of you? Your daughter stooped so low as to cheat on my son, and you think I can’t scold her or hit her?"

"As the mother-in-law..."

"Pshaw... What mother-in-law? You’re just a cheating woman who’s put a green hat on her husband’s head for decades. You have the nerve to say this about Xiao Min. At least Xiao Min was forced, was sold out by your son. As for you, you stooped so low as to cheat with your husband’s uncle. How do you have the face to call yourself Xiao Min’s mother-in-law?"

Li Yimin climbed up from the ground and cursed, "Pshaw, you shameless old hag! Compared to your talent for cheating, I stand no chance. After all, I haven’t made Lin Baoshan raise three bastards."

These words were like a fire, igniting Mrs. Lin’s fury. She rushed at Li Yimin, repeatedly slapping her until her relatively pretty face was swollen like a pig’s head.

"What’s going on, what’s going on? Stop it, all of you, stop it!"

At this moment, a small steward arrived with a group of people.

Seeing Li Yimin beaten so miserably, and Mrs. Lin cursing so harshly, the small steward’s face turned dark with anger. He quickly ordered people to pin Lin Baoshan and Mrs. Lin to the ground, sneering, "You’ve got plenty of energy, huh? Enough strength to hit people. Then today you two will go dredge the river mud."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin wanted to plead, but was silenced by a fierce young man with a dirty rag pressed over her mouth.

As soon as Mrs. Lin arrived at the farm, she caused Lin Baoshan to end up as a river mud dredger, the hardest and most arduous job on the entire farm, even harder than carrying manure.

Lin Baoshan and Mrs. Lin were exhausted after just half an hour and were lashed several times by the overseers. "Get to work, try slacking off on my watch, and see if I don’t whip you to death."

"I’m warning you, you’re all prisoners. Even if I whip a couple of you to death, you’d deserve it."

Crack, crack... The whip lashed relentlessly on their legs, backs, and hands... Mrs. Lin and Lin Baoshan howled in pain but dared not slack off.

Suddenly, while carrying a heavy load of river mud, Lin Baoshan slipped and fell to the ground, his lower leg striking a large stone with a crack, fracturing it.

Lin Baoshan screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

The overseer didn’t care if his leg was broken, raising the whip and lashing it down, "Damn it, taking my words as air, daring to slack off..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

In the end, Lin Baoshan was whipped until he was on the verge of death, lying on the ground, barely breathing. Mrs. Lin threw down the river mud, rushed to her son, crying miserably and mournfully.

In the end, she too was whipped until she was on the verge of death.

"Pshaw, deserved to be beaten to death." In the distance, a small steward sneered, "You’re lucky to have me put a green hat on you, you should be grateful and thank me, and you dare curse me. You deserve to die."

Then, the small steward left.

The one wielding the whip also stopped and called a few people over to carry Lin Baoshan and Mrs. Lin back.

As for Lin Baoshan’s broken leg, no one took him for treatment. Mrs. Lin wailed, mentioning that her son needed to go to the hospital to have his leg treated, but the people carrying them just slapped her a few times fiercely, scaring Mrs. Lin into silence.

With Lin Baoshan’s leg broken, he couldn’t work and could only lie in bed waiting for meals. But the relationship between him and Li Yimin was beyond repair, and she didn’t care in the least whether he lived or died.
