"Uncle Lü, I'm entrusting the cloth to you."
Qin Zheng calmly handed the village genealogy to Lü Guohua. Lü Guohua was shocked and it took him several seconds to react before he belatedly took the genealogy.
In the past, when such a major event occurred, there was almost always wailing and lamentation, and it was incredibly noisy.
I've never seen anyone as calm as Qin Zheng before.
"Okay, okay, I'll write it right away."
Without further delay, Lü Guohua spread a large white cloth on the stone stool and began to write the judgment severing ties with his relatives.
His eyesight wasn't as good as Qin Zheng's, so he had someone light a dim kerosene lamp.
The letter severing ties was quickly written.
“From this day forward, Qin Zheng has no further connection with Li Xiuying or the Guo family! He is surnamed Qin, and from now on he is just a member of the Qin family. Everyone, please bear witness with me today! Cough!” Lu Guohua raised the letter severing ties, letting everyone see it.
Then, without any hesitation, he waved his hand and said, "Erdanzi! Send all of Lao Guo's family back!"
It...it's broken already?
Guo Laoda looked stunned and said unwillingly, "Uncle Lü, our two families are relatives. Isn't it inappropriate for you to sever my mother's marriage with Qin Zheng while she was unconscious?"
"That's right! If you do that, then my mother won't be able to let Qin Zheng raise her anymore!"
"Shut your mouths!"
Lu Guohua, unable to contain his anger any longer, put his hands behind his back and sternly scolded, "You Guo family are just giving yourselves a hard time! Li Xiuying has been married into your Guo family for years! Is it Qin Zheng's place to support her? You're all good for nothing but shirking your duties! Don't make me slap you! If anyone dares to say another word, I'll take away their land on behalf of the brigade!"
Guo Laoda immediately fell silent.
Guo Lao Er's face also paled.
Those few acres of land are their family's main source of livelihood. If they can't farm, their whole family will probably starve to death!
"Er Danzi! Show the guest out!"
With a stern face, Lü Guohua shoved the letter severing ties into Qin Zheng's hand, tucked the village register into his pocket, and rode off again on the old bicycle the village had provided for him.
Erdanzi immediately called his brothers, and they dragged and pulled the Guo family members out of the house.
As for Li Xiuying?
She was already unconscious and was carried out by Guo Youcai and Guo Lao Er. It was unclear whether she was truly unconscious or faking it. While they were carrying her, Guo Youcai and Guo Lao Er were kicked a few times by Er Danzi and lost their balance, causing her to fall. Even so, they were unable to wake her up.
The excitement has ended.
The onlookers dispersed.
When Tian Xiaohui left with her mother, she looked at Qin Zheng in the yard with lingering reluctance. Before she could say a word to Qin Zheng, her mother grabbed her hand and pulled her away.
The courtyard was unusually quiet for a moment.
A broken shovel lay on the ground, an old-fashioned bicycle lay on the ground, miscellaneous items were scattered all over the place, and the fence gate was about to collapse. In the dim night, the scene was one of desolation and mess.
The old lady, who had been sitting at the entrance of the main room, twitched her eyelids and sighed softly.
Sitting on the ground, Qin Xiang'e, supporting her back, dared not utter a sound. She quietly wiped away her tears, silently got up, and picked up the old bicycle that had been thrown on the ground.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Qin Zheng sat silently on the stone stool, clutching the letter severing ties tightly in his hand. His head was lowered, making it impossible to see his expression or what he was thinking at that moment.
Ye Yun noticed his dejected mood and gently took his slightly cool hand in hers.
"Qin Zheng..."
