Chapter 243: Letter of Severance
"No wonder you abused Hu Xin'er since she was a child and were so cruel as to marry her to a fool!" Chang Gongzhi said indignantly.
Hu's father and mother told the story of how they had abused Hu Xin'er in the past, and the onlookers became more silent as they listened.
They had stayed in the capital for too long and could not imagine that such a thing would happen in the countryside.
What was originally thought to happen only in fictional storybooks actually happened to the owner of Mu Xin Comics Store, adding a touch of legendary color of cause and effect to the story.
As the princess spoke, someone sighed, "If it was picked up, then that makes sense. It's actually quite good that it can provide Boss Hu with a meal..."
"Yes, even if I didn't give birth to him, I still owe him the gratitude for raising him. If it weren't for the Hu family, Boss Hu might have died long ago..."
The eldest princess turned to look at the crowd, her face full of disbelief: "Who was talking just now?"
The crowd was intimidated by her nobility and didn't dare to fart.
The eldest princess said angrily, "Didn't you hear? They're planning to keep Hu Xin'er as a slave! Apart from anything else, the betrothal gift from the landlord alone is enough for them to spend for the rest of their lives!"
In terms of love, have the Hu family ever had any affection for Hu Xiner?
In terms of return on investment, the cost of raising children for country people is not high, but the Hu family raised Hu Xin'er just for fun. She eats whatever the pigs eat, and they don't even take her to see a doctor when she has a high fever!
After Hu Xiner was able to work, she had done things like farming in the fields.
If raising Hu Xin'er is regarded as a business, there are only four words to describe it: no investment, huge profits.
But some people just want to mix feelings and business together.
They must make Hu Xiner's survival a credit to the Hu family!
It seems that if Hu Xin'er is not dead, she should be tied up and sucked dry by the Hu family for the rest of her life!
The princess sneered and said, "Why are you all so daring? Weren't you all talking so enthusiastically just now? Each of you is more discerning and judicious than the Jingzhao Yin. Your parents have truly shown their love for you, but who can truly dedicate everything they have to their parents?"
She looked around, and everyone she saw avoided her gaze.
The princess said disdainfully, "You even treat your own parents like this, and yet you still dare to demand too much from Shopkeeper Hu? I think your brains have been chewed by dogs!"
Hu Xiner didn't say anything. In this situation, whatever she said would be wrong.
No matter what she said, someone would righteously refute her: "If the Hu family hadn't raised you, would you still be alive today?"
It seemed as if being abandoned was her original sin, and her current happy life was entirely dependent on the hardships inflicted by the Hu family.
Others would ask, "If it weren't for the persecution by the Hu family, would you have gotten to where you are today?"
But that's not the case.
Persecution is persecution, torture is torture.
Both the original owner and she relied on their own strength to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. The only one they should thank is themselves for refusing to admit defeat even when they were beaten to a pulp.
However, the girl Hu Xiner, who had been tortured for more than ten years, eventually died at the bottom of the dark and invisible mud pond.
She traveled through time and space, found her way back from desperate situations, and was able to inflict a heavy blow on the evil Hu family.
The long-term entanglement with the Hu family has already made Hu Xiner develop strong nerves.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then quickly discovered a new suspicion: "Why did you suddenly bring this up after extorting money?"
It can't be that he extorted too much money before and suddenly felt guilty, right?
Hu's father and mother immediately looked evasive.
They thought Hu Xin'er would be immersed in the shock of her life story being revealed, but they didn't expect that she would find the loophole in their words so quickly!
That person never said anything about the direction of this matter!
Seeing the two men's strange expressions, Hu Xin'er questioned again, "Where's Hu Rong'er? Why isn't she here? Even if you truly have a change of heart, shouldn't you ask the person who abused me the most to come and apologize?"
Father Hu hesitated and said, "This..."
Mother Hu's face was filled with panic: "Xin'er, we already know we were wrong, so don't ask so many questions..."
"Where did she go?" Hu Xiner asked.
It was obviously a normal question, but Mr. and Mrs. Hu were so exhausted that they were sweating profusely, and their eyes kept glancing at the building across the street.
Hu Xiner looked up and saw a flash of silver light, vaguely a human figure.
"Princess, let the Shadow Guards catch him!" Hu Xiner immediately realized that the abnormality of Hu's father and mother must be related to that figure.
"What?" The eldest princess was stunned. Just as she was about to ask for clarification, Hu's father and mother suddenly burst into tears.
"Please spare us! We really don't want to do anything bad this time!" Mother Hu cried and hugged Hu Xiner's thighs.
Father Hu took out a piece of paper from his pocket tremblingly.
Hu Xiner took a closer look and found that it was actually a letter of breakup!
Hu's father looked at her pleadingly, tears streaming down his weathered face. "As long as you sign this quickly, you will have nothing to do with our Hu family from now on. We will never bother you again!"
"Be careful, it's a trap!" The princess snatched the letter of severance with a wary look on her face and examined it carefully. "I'll take it back to the princess's residence and let others study it."
But when Hu's parents heard this, they kowtowed anxiously: "Please! Sign it quickly!"
"Xin'er, you've been a good child since you were young. If we let you down, we'll be your slaves in the next life. Please sign quickly!"
The eldest princess asked, "Why are you so anxious for her to sign?"
Mother Hu knocked her head against the wall until it bled, but she seemed to feel no pain. She cried out in despair, "If you don't sign, our Rong'er—she's going to die!"
Hu Xiner signed the document without thinking. Hu's father and mother thanked her repeatedly and left with the severance letter. In their haste, they even lost one of their shoes.
Because of the presence of the eldest princess, the onlookers did not dare to discuss gossip loudly and could only whisper.
"It's really bizarre that there are parents who disown their children in the street!"
"This is also the case of evil being punished, alas..."
"Didn't you hear that it was the Hu family's eldest daughter who was kidnapped? I think it might have been the Lu family who did it..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you have anything serious to do?" The eldest princess roared twice, and the onlookers retreated.
Seeing Hu Xin'er looking dazed, she helped her into a booth at the back of the bookstore and asked with concern, "Xin'er, are you okay? Actually, severing ties is a good thing. You won't have to worry about them harassing you anymore!"
Hu Xin'er suddenly looked up: "It's not that simple! My parents can't read. Who wrote that letter of severance?"
