Chapter 150: Severance
Everyone knows that if fever and cold are not handled properly, death may be the only thing waiting for you, but no one wants to die.
The person who caused the most trouble was Pei Yuxuan. When the servants around him described the incident to him, they described it vividly and even said that they might get an infectious disease and die soon.
Pei Yuxuan knew what death meant. He was still so young and didn't want to lose his life because of Pei Hao's strange disease.
Knowing that she was the most favored in the family, she hugged her grandmother's thighs and cried, "Grandma, I don't want to get an infectious disease and die. Please kick Pei Hao and the others out quickly!"
Old Madam Pei Er wiped away her grandson's tears with heartache. Not only did her grandson not want to die, but she herself also cherished her life and did not want to die!
Someone was immediately sent to tell Pei Hao to wait until the items were packed tightly and move out immediately.
She couldn't let this scourge of the family stay with her! She just wanted them to get as far away from her as possible, the farther the better.
But Pei Hao was still trying to argue, saying they probably just had a common cold and it wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, their household registration was still under the name of the Pei family's second branch. They were their members in life and their ghosts in death! They would never leave.
Hearing that this family was sticking with them and didn't want to leave, the old lady's face instantly darkened. This illegitimate son was really vicious. The red all over his body looked abnormal.
What on earth are these ungrateful people trying to accomplish by staying and infecting them with the disease?
You only have a few years to live, you can't make any money, and you still want to just eat and drink and wait for death? You're dreaming!
Isn't it just the household registration under the name of the second wife? That's easy. She directly wrote a letter of severance, severing the relationship between Pei Hao and others and the second wife's entire family.
From now on, they are no longer members of the second house, and their two families no longer have any relationship or contact in the future.
This is better, so I don’t have to help them collect their bodies in the future. It’s unlucky just thinking about it, so it’s better not to have anything to do with their family.
The other people had the same attitude towards Pei Hao's family as the old lady. They all hoped that these people would get out of here as soon as possible and die in the house, so as not to implicate them.
Just like that, everything went smoothly, and Pei Hao didn't have to do anything. The old lady took the initiative to send a letter of severance, and even threatened them, saying that if they didn't leave quickly, she would send someone to burn down the yard where they lived.
Pei Hao looked at the letter of severance in his hand. It clearly stated in black and white that from now on they would no longer have any relationship with the second branch of the Pei family. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
Of course, his joyful and happy mood only lasted for a moment, and then he immediately turned into a reluctant look, as if he really wanted to stay, but his subordinates were not slow at all in packing up.
The room was simple to begin with, and the three of them didn't manage to pack out much.
When Pei Hao and his companions left with their bags, no one came to see them off. Everyone wished that the family would get away and never come back.
To prevent the infectious disease from infecting them, and besides, with three fewer people to eat, they could save a lot of money on food! But they also forgot that the loss of three people meant the loss of three earning laborers.
The life of the second branch of the Pei family will only become more and more difficult. Of course, at the moment they don’t take this matter to heart at all.
There are also many sausages hanging in the yard, which can be easily sold for more than ten taels of silver. Now that they have a way to make money, will they still be afraid of their future life?
After Pei Hao walked out of the gate, he turned around and looked at the house where they had lived for almost half a year since they came to Qizhou County. He felt a little empty in his heart. In that house were people who had lived together since childhood. Their whole family had been together from the capital to Qizhou.
Pei Yanhan patted his son's shoulder and sighed softly, "Let's go!"
He also felt bad, even though he had been mentally prepared, but the old lady and the other Pei family members were really heartless and abandoned him without any hesitation.
His biological mother died early, and he treated the old lady as his own mother since he was a child, and never missed out on any etiquette to show his filial piety.
The family that left rented a yard on North Street, in the area where Ji Zhisui and his family lived. The yard was small and the rent was not expensive.
Naturally, this money was paid in advance by the people from the Pei family's eldest branch.
After all, they are a big family and they don’t have many things on their bodies.
Pei Yian is not a good person. He has no feelings for the people in the second house. The reason why he tries so hard to help is that he has his own considerations.
Only then did Pei Yanhan and Bai Shi realize that Pei Yian had made a lot of efforts to help them escape from the Second House. They were both grateful and remorseful.
In the past, they did not take advantage of the situation to bully the people from the first house like the other people from the second house, but they just watched silently from the sidelines... They were such bastards, but the people from the first house were still willing to help them. When they have the chance in the future, they will definitely repay the first house family.
Pei Hao looked at the small courtyard with two rooms. Although it was not big, unfamiliar, and new, he felt extremely satisfied and full of hope.
It was as if the dark night finally gave way to a glimmer of dawn, ushering in the break of day!
When the people from the second branch of the Pei family learned that Pei Hao and the others had left and no one knew where they had gone, they all had expressions of joy on their faces.
It’s better to leave, it’s better to leave! This way you don’t have to worry about them getting infected too.
But soon something happened that made them worried. The sausages hanging in the yard looked more and more strange.
At first, the smell of the sausages was only faint, but later the smell became stronger and stronger. It was not the aroma of meat or food, but the smell of rotten meat, which made people feel nauseous when they got close to it.
Add a lot of salt and spices to the meat filling, and fully blend them together and marinate. In addition, it has been drizzling at night for the past few days, and the air is humid and hazy.
But the people in the second house just let the sausages hang outside and didn't pay any attention to them. It would be strange if they didn't become smelly. I'm afraid the meat has become moldy.
Old Madam Pei Er frowned and stood far away, somewhat incredulous. The smell was too stinky. Would anyone really buy such a smelly thing?
"Are these sausages really edible?"
Pei Shun himself was also somewhat murmuring in his heart, feeling uneasy and stammering: "But...Is it okay..."
He saw from afar that the people from the big house sold these things to shipping merchants. As for whether this was the problem, he was so far away that he couldn't say for sure.
Mrs. Pei was too lazy to argue with anyone, so she asked her servant to take one of the sausages and steam it.
The servant looked a little unhappy. Could it be that these people's noses were broken? This was not a sausage at all, it was clearly rotten meat!
