My mind was a jumbled mess, and a streak of glaring red slowly trickled down my lips.

He tried to support himself by bracing his hands against the door frame, but his legs wouldn't give way.

No, Yangyang is dead. He still has three sons and two daughters. There will always be someone willing to take care of him in his old age.

He still has a house, he still has a house, yes!

A glimmer of starlight had just broken through the lifeless depths of his eyes when a large group of people approached from afar, led by Hu Heshuo, who was carrying a large hammer.

Seeing him was like seeing his father's killer.

"You, how dare you show your face here? Why did you harm my Yangzi? Why won't you issue him a letter of forgiveness?"

You murderer who brought misfortune to your father, mother, wife, and children, you'll go to hell after you die.

He rushed up, pointing his finger at Hu Heshuo's nose to vent his anger, completely oblivious to the cold glint in the man's eyes.

"Yes, you're no good. You're just a thief, stealing your children's luck, stealing their reputation, stealing their lifespan so they can't live long or die."

Even when angry, Hu Heshuo never showed hysteria. All his emotions, including laughter, anger, and curses, had long since been buried in the back mountain with his wife and daughter.

All that remains are the husks that torment their enemies, causing them unbearable pain.

Hu Heshuo's lips curled into a slight smile as he looked at Hu Tiezhu, speaking to the Hu family children not far away.

"Back then, you were so greedy for personal gain that your son sowed the seeds of a terrible tragedy."

Not long ago, in order to save your life, you personally crushed the bitter fruit of your own actions while you were at the bureau.

Hu Tiezhu, do you know the testimonies of everyone else besides yourself? They confessed that they had evil intentions towards my wife and committed the crime.

Only you, only you betrayed Hu Yang without hesitation.

"Shen Gong'an asked me to express his gratitude to you on his behalf. Without you, those old geezers would all stick to their stories, and it's hard to say how the case would be judged!"

He paused, his eyes filled with malice, staring intently at Hu Tiezhu, whose expression had drastically changed at his words, and spoke softly:

"You sent your son to his death with your own hands just to save your own life."

You probably have three sons and two daughters in your family, right?

I wonder who will take the blame and suffer the consequences if something goes wrong again?

Hu Tiezhu coughed up a mouthful of blood, lost his footing, and fell to the ground. It's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!

His eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wanted to devour Hu Heshuo alive.

The remaining children gathered together, never expecting such a hidden story. They realized they couldn't keep their father anymore.

I'm really afraid that when lightning strikes him, it will accidentally hurt me instead.

Ruan Xianxian, who had strolled here with her geese early in the morning, casually replied, "What's so difficult about that?"

“State support and parents from a particular social class should be completely separated. There was a Zhu educated youth in the educated youth settlement, wasn't there? Ask him to write a report criticizing him.”

"Severing all ties with these murderer parents is commendable; anyone who read the newspapers should praise them for their sense of right and wrong, their great compassion, and their refusal to associate with murderer parents."

Their eyes lit up instantly, like light bulbs.

Yes, now that the activity has begun, it's become commonplace for sons to report their fathers and husbands to report their wives.

Not only would no one condemn them, but the Red Guards would also strongly support this behavior.

As long as they completely sever ties with Hu Tiezhu.

"Shut up." Hu Tiezhu's eyes were bloodshot. "They are my children, I gave birth to them and raised them. They will never be able to sever ties with me, even if they die. You're dreaming."

Ruan Xianxian looked innocent and shrugged at the five people.

"You see, parents who truly love their children should sever ties with them immediately after an incident to avoid being implicated."

Hu Tiezhu clung to you like a leech, sucking your blood; even in death, he would leave his mandibles in the flesh and blood of his children!

Then, changing the subject, he said, “At first, I heard Captain Hu say that if Hu Tiezhu gets into trouble again, he will definitely sell his children again. I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration.”

Now... I believe it!

Not only did Ruan Xianxian believe it, but the other five people did too.

The youngest daughter, who had been divorced by her husband's family, asked, "Zhu Zhiqing, are you really willing to help us write articles for the newspaper? Is severing ties with relatives really effective?"

Ruan Xianxian: "My grandfather has a very serious hereditary disease, but my partner never takes me for a medical check-up. Do you know why?"

Hu Heshuo: "Because you severed ties with your family!"

The two stared at each other, their eyes locked in a fierce battle.

Hu Heshuo: What nonsense are you spouting?

Ruan Xianxian glared back: You were the one who started spouting nonsense.

Their gazes shifted, and although both were spouting nonsense, whether Hu Tiezhu confessed to Hu Yang or not, the long arm of the law would eventually catch them all.

But that doesn't stop them from using this to kill and destroy the spirit, causing the beasts to turn against them and alienate their families.

The younger daughter seemed to understand but not quite; she didn't understand how severing ties with a relative could prevent genetic diseases.

But she knew that if she wanted to save her marriage and return to her husband's family to take care of the children, she had to sever ties with them!

The remaining four followed suit, silently trailing behind their younger sister.

Ruan Xianxian gave a word of advice: "Zhu, the educated youth, isn't at the educated youth settlement; he's working at the factory. When you go to the commune to find him, don't bring any expensive gifts; Zhu won't accept them."

Five people: We almost forgot to bring a thank-you gift!

"Stop! All of you stop right there!" Mrs. Hu was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet. Judging from her expression, you would think the sky had fallen.

"Waaaah! I'll fight you to the death!"

She pounced, but Ruan Xianxian stood still, not moving an inch. The goose flapped its wings, got into a fighting stance, and forcefully pinched the soft flesh of Hu's mother's chest as she pounced...

Awooo—!

"Old woman!" Hu Tiezhu came up and helped his old wife up, his eyes filled with hatred. "If you don't want your unfilial children, then don't care. Just pretend they were never born."

We have houses and enough money for a coffin, and we earn work points in the fields. Does the brigade leader dare to let us starve?

The more they tried to kill him, the more Hu Tiezhu wanted to live. As long as he was alive, he would annoy Hu Heshuo. They would see who died first.

"Of course not," Hu Heshuo smiled.

Under Hu Tiezhu's murderous gaze, he pulled out a piece of paper stamped by the commune from his pocket.

Adjustment of Brigade Land Planning

The gist of the report is that the land for building houses in Pingtou Brigade is irregular, and some team members have encroached on sandy land used for planting peanuts for their homesteads.

The following adjustments have been made: the size of the homestead remains unchanged, but the homestead will be relocated to another location that will not occupy the farmland.

Hu Tiezhu's hands were trembling, and he spoke with a voice dripping with blood: "What, what do you mean?"

Hu Heshuo: "The document clearly states that the Hu family clan's land has been used for farming, and the houses need to be demolished. You are given a short period of time to build houses elsewhere."

Hu's mother wailed, "Where would we get the money to build another house? You...you're forcing good people to their deaths."

Hu Heshuo slowly put away the documents and smiled. "Third Aunt, have you forgotten? The houses in our brigade are all made of rammed earth bricks by our own families, with help from relatives and neighbors. What money do we need?"

Yes, the person in front of him was his third uncle and aunt!

Whenever he thinks about how they disregarded family ties and humiliated his wife, and how he dreams of his daughter's unseeing eyes in the dead, his heart bleeds with hatred.

These kinds of relatives should be made to experience extreme despair and die of hunger and cold!

As soon as Hu Heshuo raised his hand, the villagers who had followed him all stepped forward with their tools in hand.

Mrs. Hu was frantic and desperately blocked the doorway, shouting, "Don't demolish it! Don't demolish our house! People need time to prepare before moving!"

"You, you're committing robbery!"

Preparation time? He gave them time, but who gave his wife and daughters time to prepare?

Hu Heshuo waved his hand and coldly uttered a single word: "Demolish!"
