Ye Dazhuang asked anxiously: "Shitou, what are you talking about? They are not going to Jiangcheng anymore? Didn't they say yesterday that they would take the official road from Jiangcheng to Shu? Why are they not going again?"
Shitou nodded and said depressedly, "Yes, he may leave us separately tomorrow night."
Ye Dazhuang was anxious when he heard this. How could this be done? If they just leave like this, their family will get nothing.
He picked up the firewood he had just picked up and said with a smile: "I have almost collected the stones, so I will go back first."
After saying that, he hurried away with the firewood in his arms. He was going to discuss with his third brother and his father, and he would ask for the grain and carts from the boss's family tonight.
What if they run away secretly tomorrow? Where will they go to ask for things?
It's really unreasonable, even saying hello to outsiders, but not saying anything to my own family.
Shitou looked at his back and "poofed" on the ground with disdain in his eyes.
What kind of man is he who bullies his sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces when his eldest brother is not at home? He is simply worse than an animal.
Ye Yutong and Ye Mingzhe had already put all their belongings on Uncle Yongchang's cart, leaving only a few liters of rice noodles, their tattered clothes and tattered quilts.
Li Wenxiu grabbed a few more handfuls of sorghum flour and made a large pot of wild vegetable paste.
The family ate quickly, and the people from the old house would definitely come over later. Only when they were full would they have the strength to bargain with them.
This time, Ye Daqing and Ye Dazhuang came. I don't know if they were afraid of embarrassment or for other reasons. They didn't find a middleman this time.
The two of them didn't make any detours when they arrived, and said straight to the point: "Father said that you can write a letter of renunciation, but you have to pay for it with grain, carts, and ten taels of silver. If you agree, I will write it now."
Li Wenxiu sneered and said rudely: "You think so, my family only has a few kilo meters of rice flour, do you want it?
Anyway, they are going to separate tomorrow. What will happen if the relationship is broken? Is it possible for you to go to Shu for some filial piety money? "
"What? Just a few ounces of rice noodles? You are sending beggars away." Ye Dazhuang said angrily.
Li Wenxiu scolded: "Hmph, who do you think you are? I gave you this little sorghum noodles out of Dafeng's respect. Otherwise, I would rather be a beggar than give it to you beasts."
Ye Dazhuang pointed at her and said, "You stinky bitch, are you looking for death?"
Ye Mingxuan took the machete and chopped it towards his hand.
Ye Dazhuang quickly took his hand back and trembled with fright.
Li Wenxiu said impatiently: "I will tell you one last time, exchange the book of severance for sorghum noodles. Don't even think about the rest. If you want to change, just change. If not, get out."
Ye Dazhuang and Ye Daqing looked at each other, both of them a little unwilling.
But if we don’t want it now, when they leave, we won’t even have sorghum noodles. But this matter needs to be discussed with parents.
Ye Dazhuang and Ye Daqing went back again and recounted Li Wenxiu's words to their parents.
When Mrs. Ye Zhang saw that the old man was silent, she persuaded him: "Old man, don't be sad. This kid Dafeng has not been close to us since he was a child, and the wife he married is even more powerful.
I used to be angry with me at home all day long, but now I even say I want to cut off the relationship. What else can we do? "
Old Man Ye was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Since your sister-in-law wants to sever ties with our family so much, then let her do it. I am older and can no longer take care of the children's affairs."
After hearing this, Ye Daqing took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter of renunciation.
He knew that no one in Li Wenxiu's family could read, so he played some tricks on this letter of renunciation.
That meant that Li Wenxiu wanted to sever ties with his parents. Old Man Ye and Mrs. Ye Zhang were so sad that they had no choice but to agree.
Li Wenxiu was the instigator of everything, and their family was forced to do nothing.
The two of them took the renunciation letter and went to Li Wenxiu again.
Seeing them coming again, Ye Yutong knew that they must have discussed it over there.
She winked at her two brothers, and Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe ran forward.
After a while, Ye Mingxuan came over with his grandfather and his three sons.
Ye Mingzhe also invited another respected elder in the village, who was Old Man Ye's sixth uncle. He is very smooth in dealing with people, and when people in the village break up their families, they will ask him to be the go-between.
Ye Yutong also went to call Uncle Yongchang over.
Ye Dazhuang and Ye Daqing were negotiating terms with Li Wenxiu. When they saw the person they invited, their faces suddenly darkened.
I didn't expect this bitch to be so scheming. She was not afraid of being embarrassed by publicizing this kind of family scandal everywhere.
Li Wenxiucai didn't care what their faces were like and asked them to sit down.
Then he said with red eyes: "Grandpa Six, uncle, I invite you here today because I want you to help be a witness.
Since Dafeng went to join the army, you all know what happened to our family. Now my parents-in-law and two brothers want to sever ties with us.
As a weak woman with three underage children, I had no choice but to agree. They asked me to provide money and food, but I really couldn't afford it.
Now I still have a few kilometres of rice noodles at home, so give them to my parents-in-law. This is my last act of filial piety to the elderly on behalf of Dafeng. "
After hearing her confusing words, the two brothers looked even more ugly. They wanted to retort, but they didn't know how to speak.
If the relationship was not severed, then Li Wenxiu would definitely not give them these kilograms of sorghum noodles.
Grandpa heard what Shitou said when he came. He didn't try to persuade him to make peace, and he muttered a few words with Grandpa Six beside him.
He said, "Now that you have thought it through, we will be your witnesses."
Then he said to Ye Dazhuang: "Go and call your parents over. Since we want to sever the relationship, how can they not be present?"
Ye Dazhuang glanced at Ye Daqing and saw that he didn't speak, so he went to the front to call his parents.
When Old Man Ye heard that his eldest cousin and sixth uncle were there, his face darkened and he felt a little embarrassed, but things were already like this, and he and his wife had no choice but to get over it.
The uncle glanced at Old Man Ye and sighed inwardly. He really looked down on his cousin more and more.
I really don’t know what he thinks. Dafeng is such a good kid, hardworking and capable.
Literary people are also good, they work quickly and have a cheerful personality. Their grandchildren are even more diligent and sensible.
Even if you are partial to the children of your mother-in-law, you can't be so heartless towards your eldest son, right? How can their family survive even if they have to take away the last bit of life-saving food?
"Dad Dafeng, have you considered it? Do you really want to sever ties with the Dafeng family?"
Old Man Ye let out a long sigh: "Oh, just listen to the children. I'm old and don't want to care so much anymore. If they want to, just cut it off."
Ye Yutong really wanted to scold him after hearing his words of shirk responsibilities.
She pretended to be scared and said: "Grandpa, my second uncle and my third uncle asked our family to contribute ten taels of silver, and they also wanted our carts and food.
But our family has no money and the cart was bought by Ping An. He is not in good health and has to ride on the road, so he can’t give it to you.
Do you think this will work? I'll give you all the food we have at home. We don't have to eat the food. We can dig some wild vegetables on the road and the grass roots can survive. Anyway, we grew up eating these. "
