Chapter 14 I want to separate!
"You!" Sang Yongfeng's chest heaved violently, and the hand pointing at Sang Yu trembled with anger.
How dare she!
Yes, how dare she? It must have been the fourth brother who taught her to say these words.
Sang Yongfeng's eyes, filled with anger, suddenly turned to Sang Yongjing, as if they were about to spit fire: "Sang Yongjing, how dare you look at me like that!"
Sang Yongjing, who had never expected Sang Yu to say such words, trembled all over when he saw him, and subconsciously wanted to bow his head and admit his mistake. This was a habit he had developed over the years.
The old man of the Sang family passed away early, and the four brothers supported each other. If Sang Yongfeng got angry, Sang Yongjing would just shrink his neck like a quail and accept the scolding.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and held his hand tightly, as if saying to him: Don't be afraid, I'm here.
Sang Yongjing looked up in surprise and saw Sang Yu leaning against him, holding his hand and whispering, "Dad, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences."
Sang Yongjing had heard Sang Yu say this many times on the road. She had always advised him to separate the family, but he had always been hesitant.
He still vividly remembered how his elder brother took care of him when he was young, and he really couldn't bear to do that.
But things have come to this point today. As the head of the family, he should not hide behind his daughter, but stand in front of his family and protect them.
Thinking of this, Sang Yongjing nodded to Sang Yu, then looked up at Sang Yongfeng again and said loudly, "I want to separate!"
Sang Yu's description of her grandmother being seriously ill was not a pretense. Although the old lady was not short of food or clothing, she was weak and not well cared for, so her condition had long been not good.
They took it over and took good care of it, and gave the old lady the bread as soon as possible, but they were powerless to save her and could only delay her life.
At one point, the old lady seemed to be on her deathbed.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Sang Yongjing went to inform Sang Yongfeng and his other two brothers overnight, wanting them to come and see their mother off for the last time.
He waited anxiously outside for the informant to bring Sang Yongfeng out, but no one showed up. Instead, he received a reply: "Either send mother back now, or wait until she dies and send her body back."
His heart felt like it was sinking into an icy cave, and he could hardly believe what he heard.
How could the brother who once held his hand and taught him to read and write become like this? It was as if he had never seen the other person's true appearance.
That night, Sang Yongjing and his second and third brothers stayed by their mother's side all night, not daring to close their eyes for a moment.
Fortunately, God has mercy on my mother. She managed to survive and gradually got better.
Sang Yongjing had originally thought on the road that with his mother's current physical condition, she would definitely be able to fully recover after taking good care of herself in Lingnan for a period of time.
By then, his brother won't have to intervene, and his family will be taken care of.
But he never expected that his elder brother would take his mother away as soon as he arrived in Lingnan.
Split up the family? The moment Sang Yongfeng heard this word, his eyebrows suddenly jumped, and then he looked at the other party with an incomprehensible gaze.
"You want to separate from me? Are you still sleepy and confused?"
He had money, and although it was registered in the household register that he wanted to make a living by farming, he had no intention of actually farming.
They were just waiting to buy a house in the city and use the remaining money as capital for their second son to start a business again. Then their Sang family could still become a wealthy family.
This Sang Yongjing must have lost his mind. He is giving up his good life and wants to become a peasant.
No matter how difficult it is to say something, once you have started, it will be much easier to continue.
Sang Yongjing bowed to the people around him and said loudly, "Yes, since everyone is here today, I would like to ask the second and third brothers to be witnesses."
"From today on, our fourth branch will separate from the Sang family. We won't take any money or property, and we'll only take our mother with us."
The reason he doesn't want money is not because he is noble and not greedy, but mainly because even if he wants it, Sang Yongfeng is unwilling to give it to him. It would be better for him to say no on his own initiative.
"Fourth brother."
"Fourth brother."
Sang Yongnian and Sang Yongsheng spoke at the same time, with complicated expressions on their faces.
They couldn't understand why they had to separate as soon as they arrived in Lingnan after having already survived the 3,000-mile exile.
Such a good family has ended up in such a situation.
But if you ask them to persuade, they really can't do it.
They had all seen their eldest brother's behavior along the way, and he turned a blind eye to their mother's serious illness, making it difficult for them to respect him as much as before.
Sang Yongfeng laughed in anger and swung his sleeves fiercely: "Okay, okay, if you want to divide the family, then divide it. If you starve to death outside in the future, it has nothing to do with me."
They say they want to divide the family business, but in reality there is nothing to divide.
He borrowed a piece of paper and pen from the officer and simply wrote down the time, place and people of the division. Then the heads of the four families signed in turn, and the division of the family was completed.
After putting away the letter of separation given to each person, Sang Yongfeng took one last look at Sang Yongjing, snorted coldly, and strode away without looking back.
Sang Anzhu, who was following behind him, also snorted coldly, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face, and she didn't want to hide it.
Originally, she was thinking that after she settled down, she would teach the ignorant girl from the fourth room a lesson, but she never expected that before she could do anything, her family would commit suicide.
If you have no money, you will starve to death.
Sang Yongnian from the second house fell to the end of the group. When he passed by Sang Yongjing, he whispered, "If you need money, come to my second brother. Take good care of mother."
Sang Yongjing knew that he was worried and nodded at him.
After all the people from the Sang family had left and the area around them became empty again, Sang Yongjing finally showed a worried look on his face.
You said it nicely just now, but how am I going to live next?
He is the backbone of the family. Once he shows any sadness, the mood of the whole family becomes depressed.
Looking at the bitter and resentful expressions of the people in front of him, Sang Yu coughed twice: "Ahem, are you still looking for a place to live?"
The dilapidated temple that the officer mentioned was indeed a good place, but Sang Yu rejected the idea of resting there after taking a look.
The reason is simple: it is too close to where they had previously registered, and it won't be long before a steady stream of people will flock there.
They were alone and weak, and could not compete with so many people in grabbing territory. Even if they arrived early, they would be driven out.
Sang Yu stood outside the dilapidated temple, looking around with his hands on his shoulders. This Lingnan County was truly desolate.
Previously, the officers had only escorted them to a place about ten miles outside the city and handed them over directly on the official road. There were no houses nearby, and she couldn't find anyone to ask about the situation nearby.
There would definitely be an inn if they went into the city, but they had no money. It was easy to go into the city, but if they were caught during the curfew at night, they would go to jail.
Just when Sang Yu was lost in thought, Sang Xingjia came to her and imitated her, putting his hands on the pergola and looking around.
After looking for a long time, he saw nothing but mountains and dense forests. He simply put down his hand and asked Sang Yu, "Little sister, are we really not going to live here? I just saw it. Although it is a bit shabby, it can be lived in after cleaning it up."
In the past, he would never have been interested in this dusty and dilapidated temple, but after living in the open air for so long, he was already content with having a tile to shelter him and mud walls to block the wind.
