Chapter 389 You felt it too

Village Chief Chen was so angry he almost fell over backwards. He pointed his finger at them and said, "Just this one thing, and you... you're all scared out of your wits, aren't you? You cowards."

He then looked at Yuan Shanchuan, "You..."

Yuan Shanchuan looked at his parents with disbelief, completely baffled as to why they were still insisting on this even after everything had been explained.

"You...you really don't want me, your son anymore?"

The two elders of the Yuan family turned their heads away, not daring to look at him.

An eerie silence fell over the Yuan family courtyard.

Village Chief Chen naturally didn't want them to make a scene like this. In his view, it was just a small matter, how could it have escalated to the point of a complete falling out?

After an unknown period of silence, the old man of the Yuan family finally said, "That's it. From now on, just pretend you don't have parents or brothers. Anyway, you're married with a wife and children now. Just live your own lives."

The eldest son and his wife were excited, while the second and third sons hesitated, seemingly wanting to persuade them, but ultimately kept quiet.

After another long silence, just when everyone thought the matter wouldn't be resolved today, Yuan Shanchuan raised his head and uttered a single word with difficulty, "...Okay."

After he finished speaking, he could clearly see that his parents looked relieved.

It was as if... he was just a burden, someone who would cause them trouble.

Yuan Shanchuan gave a bitter smile, all the strength in his body dissipated in an instant, and he fell straight backward.

“Mountains and rivers!” Lu Sixing exclaimed in surprise.

The Yuan family was thrown into chaos.

When Yuan Shanchuan woke up again, what awaited him was the merciless retribution from his parents.

Old Yuan said from the side, "Since the relationship has been severed, the things your parents gave you should naturally be taken back."

Yuan Shanchuan, who had initially held a sliver of hope, was utterly disheartened upon witnessing this scene.

He took a deep breath, ignoring his parents who sat silently beside him, and instead looked at Boss Yuan, asking, "What do you want to take back?"

"The house you are living in now is the old Yuan family house where your grandparents used to live. Although it was divided among the family members, that was when the family was divided. Now that the relationship has been severed, the situation is different."

Yuan Shanchuan sneered, "Anything else?"

"Also, your parents have raised you for so many years, so you should give them their retirement money. Why not just pay it all at once, since we won't be in contact with them anymore? We've calculated it, and it won't be too much. It's twenty years' worth of retirement money, one tael of silver per year. You can give them twenty taels."

Village Chief Chen stood aside with a sullen face, and upon hearing this, he suddenly let out a cold snort.

"Twenty taels? Shanchuan just separated from the family not long ago, where would they get the money?" Besides, to put it bluntly, there aren't many old people who can live to be seventy or eighty these days, and the two elders of the Yuan family are almost fifty now.

Ten years' worth of retirement money is enough; why would you want twenty years?

Moreover, a pension of one tael of silver a year is not low at all.

Shu Yu didn't participate in their severing of ties and division of property. Since they weren't going to fight, she decided not to interfere. Her fourth aunt's husband wasn't a fool, and her eldest uncle was also there; they could discuss it amongst themselves.

She just found it strange; the Yuan family's decision to sever ties was too abrupt.

She slowly walked out of the Yuan family courtyard, pondering the eldest son's expression from before.

"Ayu." Da Niu had chased after her at some point and ran to her side, whispering, "Ayu, don't you think the eldest son of the Yuan family is acting strangely?"

Shu Yu turned her head. "You felt it too?"
