Old Man Ye looked at her gloomily with his fox eyes.
Ye Yutong looked at him without any sign of weakness, with tears in his eyes. In the eyes of others, this is a sensible but pitiful child.
But Old Man Ye knew that was not the case. The granddaughter's eyes were nakedly provocative.
He was very angry, but in public, he couldn't argue with a child. Nor can you ask for things from your daughter-in-law in front of your cousin and uncle.
He pretended to sigh helplessly and said nothing. He motioned to his two sons with his eyes and asked them to speak for him.
Ye Daqing understood what his father meant, and knew that the cart and the money were definitely hopeless, but he still wanted to try harder to see if he could order something else?
He said: "Sister-in-law, my parents have raised my eldest brother for a long time, and I won't need you to support him in his old age in the future. Isn't it unreasonable for you to just give out a few kilograms of sorghum noodles now?"
Li Wenxiu wiped her tears and said calmly: "I also want to provide more, but you don't know about my family's situation. What should I provide? These few kilograms of sorghum noodles are the only food we have."
Mrs. Ye Zhang looked around the trolley. There were only a few old quilts, two backpacks, and some tattered belongings that she didn't like.
Seeing that nothing could be squeezed out, I picked up the few kilograms of sorghum noodles and prepared to leave.
Ye Mingxuan pressed the machete on it and said coldly: "Write the letter of severance before taking it away."
When Mrs. Ye Zhang saw the man holding the knife, she took two steps back and cursed loudly: "What is the book of renunciation? You little brat, how dare you point a knife at your elders? This is what your mother taught you."
Ye Mingxuan said disdainfully: "Elder? Are you worthy of the word elder?"
After speaking, he looked at Old Man Ye coldly, "If you want food, write a letter of renunciation. This is the last bit of life-saving food for our family.
If you take away the food today and ask for it tomorrow, what should we do? Cut the meat for you to eat? "
These words made Old Ye and his family very embarrassed, but what year is it now? As long as there is food, who cares about face?
Mrs. Ye Zhang glared at Ye Mingxuan and said to her youngest son: "Daqing, give them the letter of renunciation."
Ye Daqing took out the written severance letter and handed it to Li Wenxiu.
Grandpa and the others also realized that they had prepared this a long time ago, just to come here in exchange for food.
I despised Old Man Ye even more in my heart. What he did was really amazing. He really wanted to push his eldest son and his family to death.
Li Wenxiu glanced at the Duan Jue book. She didn't know the characters. Although her eldest son knew a few characters, he had never attended school seriously. I wonder if he could recognize all the characters with so many characters?
Ye Mingxuan took it and looked at it. Although he didn't recognize a few words, he still understood the general meaning.
They all accused their family of being unfilial and said that it was my mother's idea to cut off the relationship.
He angrily handed the piece of severance to the uncle, and said to Ye Daqing viciously:
"If you want food, write it carefully, otherwise, you won't get anything?"
Ye Mingzhe put the few kilograms of sorghum noodles on the cart and said angrily: "Mom, brother, they always keep their promises. We won't give them this food. Let's keep it for ourselves."
They have been eating all the good things for so many years. Do we only deserve to eat wild vegetables and grass roots? "
The eldest grandfather and the sixth grandfather were very unhappy after hearing this. The Dafeng family was pitiful, with such a partial father and two evil-hearted brothers.
Grandpa is also illiterate. I wonder what is written on it? He gave the piece of paper to his youngest son. Shitou went to school for several years when he was a child and knew some words.
Shitou held the piece of paper and looked at it for a while, smiled sarcastically, and then read out the letter of renunciation written by Ye Daqing.
The book of severance said that Li Wenxiu and her three children were unfilial and wanted to sever their relationship in order not to support the elderly. It described Old Man Ye and Mrs. Ye Zhang as helpless and soft-hearted.
The two middlemen looked at each other, not knowing how to take care of this nosy matter.
After all, this old man Ye is also his nephew and cousin. You have to save some face for him in front of the juniors, but he doesn't do human affairs himself, and he doesn't even have the nerve to say anything if he wants to help him.
Li Wenxiu didn't want to give Old Man Ye any face, so he tore the severance letter into pieces and said with a sullen face: "It seems that you don't want the food anymore, so please take it back."
Mrs. Ye Zhang reluctantly glanced at the half bag of sorghum noodles and saw the old man lowering his head, knowing that it was difficult for him to speak now.
He said to his younger son: "Daqing, please rewrite it. Since your eldest brother and his family don't want to have anything to do with us, I'm heartbroken. From now on, we'll just go back to each other, and we'll never see each other again until we die."
Ye Yutong didn't accept his trick, and said with a calm face: "You are really good at taking advantage and acting well. You took away all our family's rations and left us no way to survive.
He also said that we don’t want to get involved with you. Aren’t you the one who has always been mean to us?
But it’s useless to say this now. Write it quickly. Even if we starve to death in the future, we will not go to your doorsteps to beg for food.
You should also remember what I said today, and don’t come over shamelessly when we see that we are prosperous. "
Mrs. Ye Zhang let out a "poof" and said harshly: "How can you be so prosperous and prosperous? Don't laugh your big teeth off."
Ye Yutong laughed "haha" twice and ignored her, feeling that there was no need to argue with ignorant people.
The two middlemen saw that they had reached this point and shook their heads.
The grandfather said helplessly: "Since you have all made up your mind, write it quickly. It is getting late. Everyone has been traveling for a day and is already tired.
Mingxuan, go and light a torch. Daqing, go get a pen and ink and write it here. Your Sixth Grandpa and I will testify for you two. "
He looked at Yongchang who was silent next to him, and then said: "And Yongchang, you can also help to bear witness."
Yongchang said hurriedly and respectfully: "Yes, uncle."
Ye Daqing picked up the pen and ink quickly, and Ye Mingxuan held the torch.
Li Yunze stood next to Ye Daqing and watched him write, commenting on his words from time to time. He said that his writing skills are weak, like spring earthworms and autumn snakes, and he needs more practice in the future.
Ye Daqing gritted his teeth, quickly wrote the letter of severance, and gave it to Li Wenxiu.
Li Wenxiu couldn't understand it, but Ping An's expression just now showed that he must be literate. She took the piece of paper to her son-in-law.
Li Yunze had just seen it and nodded towards her to reassure her.
Then he said to Ye Daqing: "Write another copy, and then both parties and the intermediary will sign on it."
Ye Daqing had never been ordered around like this before. He gritted his teeth and picked up paper and pen to write another copy.
Li Yunze took it and looked at it before giving the two pieces of paper to Li Wenxiu, "Mother-in-law, it's no problem."
Li Wenxiu nodded and said to his eldest son: "Mingxuan, take it over and let everyone draw a pledge on it!"
Seeing that things were almost done, Ye Yutong took the bag containing sorghum noodles and dug out two bowls.
When Ye Zhang saw it, she immediately cursed: "Damn girl, what are you doing? That's already my family's food."
Ye Yutong criticized unceremoniously: "What do you think you are doing? Grandpa and Grandpa Six are here to help as middlemen this late at night. Why don't you thank me?"
Finally, he looked at her with contempt and said, "Look at how stingy you are. You are so old. Don't you even understand these etiquette? Your life is really in vain."
