Chapter 88: Every word is like a knife stabbing into Wang Liupozi's heart

The voice was still clear, cold and calm, and it was impossible to tell whether it was happy or unhappy.

But what was said was shocking!

Jiang Lianzhu and her three children all wanted to applaud Wang Laowu's words.

The villagers also murmured, "Let me tell you, Wang Laowu is not as foolishly filial as Wang Laosi. He is still a man of principle."

"Old Five used to take the three cubs very seriously. If the Wang family still had any regard for Old Five, they should have kept the three cubs. But in the end, they were kicked out along with Jiang. It's no wonder Old Five got angry."

…

Over here,

Mrs. Wang Liu couldn't believe it and was panicked.

"What? Wu'er, what are you talking about? We didn't abandon you. You are a piece of flesh and blood from your parents. How could your mother abandon you? Oh, I knew it. You believed what that bitch said. This bitch is very vicious. She deliberately broke off the relationship with you! She also sent your three brothers to jail and harmed your youngest sister badly. Wu'er, listen to me..."

The third son's wife also said, "Mother, Fifth Brother must have believed one-sided words. Please don't be impatient and explain to him slowly. Fifth Brother is a sensible person. He is now blinded by the vicious woman Jiang, which is why he said such outrageous words. If you explain the truth clearly, Fifth Brother will understand."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Laowu still had a cold and indifferent expression, "Then you tell me, I'll give you one chance."

Mrs. Wang Liu cried even more bitterly, "Wu'er, this Jiang came to our Jiang family. She clearly had the recipe for the profitable Autumn Pear Paste, but she deliberately didn't use it. She was lazy and ate nothing at home, and even had an affair. Your father and I couldn't stand it anymore, so we kicked her out of the house. The three children wanted to go with Jiang on their own, and it was our fault for not stopping them. These three poor kids, after they went with Jiang, Jiang didn't like them anymore, and often beat and scolded them. She even almost sold Erbao and threw Sanbao into the Wild Man Ditch. It was our Wang family who rescued the children.

If you don't believe me, the children may still have scars on their bodies from the beatings by Jiang. It was because of Jiang that Nannan couldn't speak before. Whenever Nannan cried, Jiang would slap her mouth and tell her to shut up. Later, she threw the child into the Savage Valley, scaring the child so much that she couldn't speak. The other children were not very good either. Now Jiang probably knew that you were coming back soon, so she bribed the three of them after they had just recovered for a few days.

"Ms. Jiang eloped with a second-rate guy from outside the village and cheated on you. The villagers all saw it. She deliberately hid the recipe for the Autumn Pear Paste and tried every means to sever ties with our Wang family, just to keep it for herself. After the family was divided, she made the Autumn Pear Paste by herself to make money. She also used small favors to bribe the villagers, including the head of the village, and sent your three brothers to jail. She also drove our Wang family out of Wangjia Village, and made your father sick. Now he is lying in bed, half-dead. Son! You have to take charge of us!"

Wang Laowu looked at Jiang Lianzhu and asked, "You eloped with someone?"

Jiang Lianzhu shook her head decisively, "No." The person who eloped was not her.

Wang Laowu then asked the three cubs, "Is your mother good to you? Has she ever beaten you? Has she ever sold you?"

Dabao said, "What happened before was all a misunderstanding. Now mother is very kind to us. We all like mother."

Mrs. Wang Liu was so angry that she cursed, "Dabao! Stop talking nonsense. What do you mean by misunderstanding? I fought her before, and that's it. You useless thing, now that she's tricked you, you've forgotten the past!"

Dabao said coldly, "No, I haven't forgotten the past. I haven't forgotten how everyone in your Wang family called us bastards. They didn't want to waste food raising bastards, so they drove us out. Brothers Sanlang, Silang, and Wulang often bullied us, including Erbao, and called Sanbao a little mute. When we went to the mountains to find something edible, they saw us and tried to snatch it away, saying that bastards didn't deserve to eat and might as well starve to death..."

Every word was like a knife stabbing into Wang Liupo's heart.

Wang Laowu took a deep breath and said, "Mom, we can put Jiang's affairs aside. Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao are my life. Even if my son is really dead, our Wang family should not treat them like this. Since it has already happened, it is useless for me to be heartbroken. Of course, I will not scold you. I am willing to accept the letter of severance from the fifth branch of the family given by you. I will not return to you for the time being. I want to make it up to the children. Please take care of yourselves, mom and dad."

Mrs. Wang Liu's voice was filled with despair. "Fifth Brother! Do you also want to be like Jiang Shi and commit such a treasonous act, doing such unfilial and unfraternal things? Do you really not care about your parents' life or death? Your father is seriously ill in bed now, and he just wants to see you, and you are so cruel as to abandon your parents and not care about them at all?"

Wang Laowu's voice was still cold. "Didn't I give all the money I earned from escorting to you, parents? I have repaid you for your kindness in raising me. All the land in our family was bought with the money I earned from escorting. But my three children were kicked out of the house. If you insist on thinking I'm cruel, then I'll just treat it as a tit-for-tat."

After saying that, he said to Jiang Lianzhu, "Wife, take out twenty taels of silver."

Jiang Lianzhu squinted her eyes. The fifty taels of silver he had just given her hadn't even warmed up yet, but he was already asking for another twenty taels.

He reluctantly took out twenty taels.

Wang Laowu took it and handed it to Wang Liupozi, "Mother, this twenty taels of silver is half of the money I earned from escorting for more than a year. Consider it my last filial act as a son. If you still have some respect for your dignity, take this silver and go back. Don't come here again."

From beginning to end, the tone was light.

The villagers couldn't help but start talking.

"I'm afraid the fifth child is really sad, that's why he speaks so decisively."

"That's right. Anyone would be angry. My parents have gone too far. Even a clay statue wouldn't tolerate it, unless you're as blind as Wang Laosi..."

"Giving back twenty taels of silver is already very good, but I'm afraid the Wang family won't be satisfied."

…

Mrs. Wang Liu must be very unsatisfied!

What are you listening to? Half of the silver, at least twenty taels, is left. If it were normal, wouldn't it all be handed over to her?

Now half of it has been swallowed by that bitch Jiang Lianzhu.

"Wu'er, your father said that you should come home and meet him. If you are angry about something, we two old bones can even kneel down to apologize to you. No matter what you say, you are a piece of flesh and blood that fell from your mother's belly. You can't be so heartless and disloyal. Now that your brothers are in jail, there are no strong men in the family to support the family. They are counting on you to come home. Our Wang family..."
