Xu Tiesheng's face grew darker as he listened, and he pointed at Xu Wantang and said, "It's not as good as a pig or a dog! Even if I raise a dog, I'm already familiar with it!"
Xu Wantang chuckled lightly, his eyes fell on the inhuman Xu Baorui, and he said pointedly, "Okay, then get a dog and see if this dog can support you until you die."
After Xu Wantang finished speaking, without looking at the shouting Xu family father and son, he turned to Lu Yunzheng and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, the military green jeep raised a cloud of dust and gradually disappeared from people's sight.

Xu Tiesheng and Xu Baorui were so angry that their chests heaved up and down, and they jumped in anger toward the direction the car was driving away.
But two legs couldn't catch up with four wheels, so the two of them could only get angry.
"What are you still doing here? Go back and forth wherever you go, we don't even welcome you on the island!"
"Yes! If you steal once, you might be able to do it a second time! Our family is very poor, and we can't stand you stealing like this!"
In the end, the two of them ran away in despair despite the unkind looks of the people around them.
"Dad, what should we do?" Xu Baorui opened his mouth, revealing the yellow tartar in his mouth.
"We can't enter the place where Xu Wantang lives. There are soldiers guarding her, and the villagers in the village are also looking at her. How about... let's go home?"
Xu Baorui's breath was accompanied by a strong stench. The breath mixed with the stench on his body made Xu Tiesheng, who was seasick not long ago, almost vomit.
Xu Tiesheng frowned and hid back without leaving a trace, "Humph! She said she wants to sever ties with me after I raised her? Bah! What a beautiful idea!"
But the younger son was right. Now that they were penniless and had no one around them who could help them, it was better to think long term.
Xu Tiesheng bought two ferry tickets with the little money he had and planned to leave the island first.
When they got to the shore, Xu Tiesheng had no money left.
"Dad, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten in several days and I want to eat rice!" Xu Baorui swallowed.
Xu Tiesheng pinched the few cents left in his hand and felt troubled.
He thought that if he came to Liandao in person this time, Xu Wantang would definitely give him money to support his family like before.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not get any money like Xu Baorui, but he was also unilaterally announced to have severed ties with Xu Wantang.
Xu Tiesheng sighed and his eyes fell on the watch on his wrist.
This watch seems to be a gift Bai Yanlang bought for him when he first started working.
Xu Tiesheng took off his watch without hesitation and showed a sarcastic smile, "It's still somewhat useful."
"Come on, let's sell the watch and dad will take you to dinner!"
The watch was sold at a good price. Xu Tiesheng and Xu Baorui not only had a good meal, they also bought return train tickets.
The money they had just received was spent again, and they could only eat steamed buns in the car. Xu Baorui's appearance also received a lot of looks. Fortunately, the two of them finally returned home looking sallow and thin.

After Xu Wantang left the village committee, he leaned softly on the back of the car seat.
"Didn't you say that Xiao Xu came to pick me up?" Xu Wantang asked Lu Yunzheng, "Why are you here?"
Lu Yunzheng's hands tightened on the steering wheel, "Xiao Xu... I have something to do, and I happen to be free."
Xu Wantang nodded, answering Lu Yunzheng's explanation.
Lu Yunzheng glanced at Xu Wantang quietly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no intention of asking further.
In fact, Lu Yunzheng didn't notify Xiao Xu to pick up Xu Wantang at all. In the morning, he was afraid that Xu Wantang wouldn't accept him, so he said that.
Every day he spent with Xu Wantang was counting down, and he would naturally not miss any opportunity.
After Lu Yunzheng saw off Xu Wantang in the morning, he didn't leave at all. He greeted the people in the army in advance and returned to the team in the afternoon.
Last night, after Xu Wantang finished injecting the sling bottle, Lu Yunzheng asked the doctor on duty a lot about what should be paid attention to after having a fever.
When it comes to food, doctors say that people who have a fever may lose their appetite and that patients should eat something that is easy to digest.
Lu Yunzheng returned to the ward, and happened to ask the aunt in the next bed what kind of light food was suitable for sick people.
The aunt said that her grandson loved sweet things and wanted to drink pumpkin and millet porridge every time he was sick.
Lu Yunzheng's eyes lit up, and he thought that Xu Wantang also liked sweet food, so he asked his aunt about how to make pumpkin and millet porridge, and took a whole page of notes.
After sending Xu Wantang to the village committee, Lu Yunzheng went to the grocery store and supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
The non-staple food store and supply and marketing cooperative were not far from the village committee. Lu Yunzheng thought that there would be nothing to do during this period of time, so he just strolled over.
Unexpectedly, such a stroll would almost cause Xu Wantang to get into trouble.
His peripheral vision was always on Xu Wantang, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw that her originally bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.
Today, through the narration from the old lady in the crowd, he realized how difficult and aggrieved Xu Wantang's life has been these past few years.
Thinking about him a few months ago, Xu Wantang felt a little sad again. He wished he could go back in time and beat Lu Yunzheng to death with a stick.
"It will get better and better." Lu Yunzheng said suddenly.
Lu Yunzheng secretly made up his mind that if he spent one day with Xu Wantang, he would be kind to Xu Wantang and make up for everything he owed and what Xu's family owed.
Xu Wantang was startled when he heard what Lu Yunzheng said out of the blue. Then he realized what Lu Yunzheng was talking about and smiled, "Of course."
Now she has not only cut off contact with Zhao Youyou, but will also soon cut off ties with the Xu family. If the divorce is successful, she will be greeted with good days every day.
Lu Yunzheng didn't know that Xu Wantang was thinking about divorce at this moment, and was still giving Xu Wantang serious advice.
"If necessary, I can help you contact the newspaper." Lu Yunzheng seemed to be afraid that Xu Wantang would refuse, and immediately said, "It's not troublesome."
"Yeah." Xu Wantang said.
Lu Yunzheng has a wide network of contacts, which makes it easy to get things done.
Otherwise, she might have to go to the newspaper office or go back to City B in person. It would be too much trouble, so she might as well leave it to Lu Yunzheng.
Xu Wantang suddenly turned around as if something suddenly occurred to him, his eyes fell on Lu Yunzheng's back, and he frowned, "Why do you have to hit that shovel?"
In Xu Wantang's opinion, there was something wrong with Lu Yunzheng, so why not just drive her away? Why bother?
Lu Yunzheng looked at the road ahead and said calmly, "If I don't suffer, how can I let you, a sick person, suffer?"
"The situation was urgent and you fell down immediately. If I tried to pull you up, your feet might be injured. In addition, Xu Tiesheng's eyes were red and he would attack again quickly. I am not 100% sure to guarantee your safety. Safety, this is the safest thing to do.”
Xu Wantang didn't expect this to happen. "Does it hurt?" Xu Wantang asked.
Lu Yunzheng's body froze for a moment, and he felt that the spade was really worth it!
Captain Lu, who had been sitting upright just now, bent his waist in an instant.
"It hurts." Captain Lu said pitifully.
