Chapter 19 I'm thinking about how to break up the relationship

19

Seeing that everyone in his family had changed their expressions, Tang Shengkai didn't know what to say.

Tang Nan glared at his father, "Dad, don't you know what grandma and uncles did? I'm telling you again."

Tang Bei tugged at Tang Nan's sleeve, and Tang Nan struggled to break free. He wiped his face with his sleeve and spoke angrily.

"My sister is not dead, and my uncle wants to bury her. Dad, don't you know? Why? It's for the grain that the production team just distributed two days ago."

Tang Nan's voice choked with sobs, "If it weren't for mom, my sister would be gone now. Wow wow wow!"

Tang Nan broke down in tears, and Tang Bei and Tang Dong followed suit. Tang Yue had personally witnessed what Tang Shengjun and Tang Shengli had done, and she couldn't accept her father's foolish filial piety.

If her father is such a father, then many things need to be reconsidered.

Tang Shengkai waved at Tang Nan, who took a step back and didn't move forward. Tang Shengkai sighed and waved again, but Tang Nan had no choice but to move forward reluctantly.

Tang Shengkai patted Tang Nan's shoulder and said, "Dad didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Dad has his own considerations."

"So what do you think, Dad?"

Tang Dong stared at Tang Shengkai seriously, as if he wanted to confirm the truthfulness of his words from Tang Shengkai's eyes.

Tang Shengkai patted Tang Dong's head with amusement and looked at Lin Cuicui. Lin Cuicui had not spoken since she heard Tang Shengkai's words about giving her money and had kept her head down.

"Cui Cui, I'm not just giving her money. I know all the suffering you and the children have endured from them over the years. I'm not heartless, so how could I not know how hard your life has been?

Even I myself..."

Tang Shengkai looked up at the roof, swallowed subconsciously, and forced himself to endure something.

"Over the years, I've often wondered if I was my mother's biological child. Otherwise, how could she be so cruel? She didn't let me join the army. At that moment, I really thought she was afraid I'd die and she was heartbroken.

I never imagined she'd privately tell my older brothers that if I became successful in the military, I'd be better than them. It was beyond her control. My heart sank at that moment.

Later, she insisted that I get married. I thought she would carefully choose for me, but she wanted to marry me the silly girl from her cousin's family. If I hadn't met you in the mountains at that time, my life would be so miserable~"

Lin Cuicui burst into tears and punched Tang Shengkai in anger, "You know everything, so why, why are you still thinking about giving her money? Have you forgotten, what did she do to get you to marry me?

It was winter, snowing heavily, and she drove us out of the house. If it weren't for Third Grandma, would we still be alive today? Tell me."

Lin Cuicui completely collapsed. She could no longer bear all the suffering she had endured in the past few days, and after this incident, she simply collapsed.

Tang Shengkai forcibly pulled her and pulled Lin Cuicui to his front to help her calm down. "Cuicui, listen to me."

"No, no, I won't listen. I don't want to hear you talk anymore."

"I wanted to give her some money to sever the mother-son relationship with her."

Tang Shengkai yelled. After struggling with Lin Cuicui for a while, Tang Shengkai was already sweating profusely and his breathing became much more rapid.

After he finished shouting, the room suddenly became quiet, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Tang Yue was also surprised. She didn't expect her father to think this way.

Tang Bei and the other two were also shocked and surprised, not knowing how to react.

Lin Cuicui's outburst also stopped. What did she mean? What was the head of the family saying? Want to? Sever the mother-son relationship? Is this true? Is it possible?

Tang Shengkai took a few deep breaths, and only continued speaking after his breathing became steady.

"You all know what kind of person your grandmother is. If I wanted to ask for some plastic, it would be impossible. I wanted to break off relations with her for nothing, but how could she agree?

That’s when I thought I might as well buy it out.”

"If she knew you were rich, would she still be willing to cut off ties with you?"

Although Tang Yue's voice was soft, it hit the nail on the head.

After hearing what Tang Yue said, Tang Shengkai fell into deep thought. It seemed that what his daughter said was right.

"What should I do then?"

Lin Cuicui asked anxiously. "If your grandmother knew your father was going to join the army, she would definitely be the first to come out and stop him."

Tang Yue smiled. "Simple."

"What?"

Lin Cuicui asked, and the others stared at Tang Yue anxiously.

Tang Yue looked at them, and with her small hands, she put all the large pieces of bricks on the kang into the black box and closed it. "I think it's fine to just bury this material in the soil. We'll be leaving in a few days, so we'll definitely have to take it out then."

After saying that, he looked up at Tang Shengkai and asked, "Dad, what do you think?"

Tang Shengkai touched the black box, felt that what his daughter said made sense, and nodded.

"Well, it looks like it should be about the same. Let's take out some of the bullets as a backup and bury the rest."

Tang Yue pointed to the hole to the right of the stove and said, "Let's dig a hole underneath. It's not safe to put it in the backyard. If the spies find it, our hiding will be in vain."

Lin Cuicui thought what Tang Yue said made sense, so she immediately went down to the fields to get a shovel and started working. The three Tangbei brothers also went to help.

Tang Shengkai sat on the edge of the kang. "My daughter, how do you think you're going to sever ties with your grandma?"

Tang Yue smiled slyly, "Dad, by now the whole village should know that our family is being targeted by spies. Do you think Grandma and the others know about it?"

Tang Shengkai suddenly understood and grinned.

"Yes, my daughter, you are right. They should be looking forward to it now."

"So, Dad, after we hide the boxes, we'll pack up our bedding and go to Grandma's house to escape."

The father and daughter smiled at each other.

Although Tang Shengkai felt bitter, he had to take this step. Otherwise, when would this kind of life end?

He still remembered what his second brother said when he came to steal his family's food, "Third brother, you're going to die. It's better to hurry up and save food. It just so happens that we don't have enough food at home."

"Second brother, I am your biological brother."

"Oh, Third Brother, it's a different era now. What's the point of caring about your brothers? Having enough food is the most important thing. Since they are your relatives, please have some pity on your nephews. If they don't have food, they will starve to death."

"Second brother, which of your children isn't stronger and more sturdy than mine?"

"Hey, third brother, the ones in my family are strong because they eat my own food. If you raise a sickly child in your family and he can't survive, who would you want to be with? Tell me, have you been filial to me all these years?

Aren’t you and my elder brother taking care of it?”

"Brother, how can you say such a thing? I only ask you to give me five dollars a year. Brother, how much money can our family earn in a year? Apart from buying some medicine for Yueyue, the rest is given to me."

Tang Shengli kicked Tang Shengkai and said, "Fuck you! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will smash your head. You have to give me this food whether you want or not. If you don't let go, I will smash it to pieces."

Thinking about that day, Tang Shengkai's heart still couldn't calm down, but he was used to being sad, so he could accept it now. Days like this would soon pass.

Lin Cuicui patted the dirt off her hands and walked into the house. "What are you two talking about?"

"Cui Cui, pack up all the bedding and household items. We'll take them to the old house later."

"What? Are you sick?"

As he spoke, he touched Tang Shengkai's forehead. "What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? Given the current situation at home, can we even get in?"

Lin Cuicui seemed to understand as she spoke, and her eyes suddenly lit up. What a good idea!

"Just wait, I'll clean up now. Dabei, Ernan, Dongzi, come over and help."

Several children had just heard their parents' conversation at the door. Tang Bei and Tang Dong seemed to understand a little, but they were not so cunning. Tang Nan did whatever his mother said, no matter what she asked him to do.

There was nothing in the house to begin with. There was no need to remove the pot, and there were two basins. She put the bowls and chopsticks and two ceramic bowls for serving food into the basin. There was a single-wheeled cart at home. Lin Cuicui put the things on the cart, turned around and looked at Tang Shengkai, with a smile in the corners of her eyes, "Boss, let's go."

Tang Shengkai was stunned by the smile on Lin Cuicui's face. He recalled in his mind how long it had been since he saw his wife smile so brightly.

He coughed lightly and said, “Well, when we go over there later, we should be more compassionate.”

"clear."

Lin Cuicui answered readily and looked at the children, "Do you understand?"

"I understand, Mom."

The four said in unison.

The old house was in the middle of the village, and they arrived there in a short while.
