Yang Fu had wanted to say this for a long time, but because of his father's status, he never dared to say it.
Now, looking at the faces of the villagers around him, he couldn't help but want to burst the surface of "peace".
Yang Lizheng coughed lightly, "You kid! Alas, Dad knows they are unhappy. After all, so many people died and all their belongings were lost. It's normal for them to complain. It's Dad's fault for not considering it carefully."
"But, it was clearly a unanimous decision by everyone not to stop at the gate of Hui'an Prefecture. Why do we have to blame you in the end?"
Yang Lizheng sighed heavily.
The elders who made the decision are all dead, and he is the only one left. Naturally, all the anger will be focused on him.
I understand, but it is impossible to say that I don’t feel sad.
But no matter how painful it was, he had to bear it.
Seeing that his son was unwilling, Yang Lizheng stood up. "Forget it, I'll go by myself."
Yang Fu held him down and said, "Just sit down and take a rest. I'll go talk to him."
Looking at his son's back as he left, Yang Lizheng sighed.
He was the one who dragged down his sons.
I wonder how Su Yatou and the others are doing? Did they encounter any troubles on the road?
Thinking of Su girl's abilities and the powerful brothers of the Yang family, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He thought that they must be living a better life than them.
Yang Fu walked to the place where the Zhang family, Yang Dashan's brother-in-law, was resting, and tried to put on a kind smile, "Mrs. Zhang, it's getting late, we have to leave early."
Old Lady Zhang said sarcastically, "We have nothing to eat, and we don't have the strength to travel. How about you bring some food over so we can have the strength to travel."
The smile on Yang Fu's face froze, but he didn't dare to say anything more and went straight to the next house.
Every time I pass a house, I will get a lot of cold stares.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I think we should not hurry up, just wait to die, we have nothing left anyway."
Facing the other party's anger, Yang Fu could only comfort him, "Uncle, look at what you said. If you don't leave, you will die. If you go down, you may find food and have a chance of survival."
"Humph, if your father hadn't made the wrong decision, we wouldn't have ended up like this. In the end, it's all your family's fault."
Yang Fu tried to endure it, but even a clay man has a temper.
He could no longer suppress the anger and frustration in his heart, and directly retorted, "Do you have any shame?"
The other party was stunned, obviously not expecting Yang Fu to retort.
No matter what they said before, Yang Lizheng's family remained silent, acquiescing that it was their fault.
So many people talked about him before, but he didn't say a word. But when it came to him, he dared to do so just by saying one word.
In his eyes, this behavior clearly showed that the man did not respect his elder, and he immediately became angry.
"What did you say? Do you dare to say it again?"
Facing his anger, Yang Fu was not intimidated at all. "The decision was made after everyone discussed it. Why do you put all the blame on my father alone?"
"I remember that you also agreed very much at the time, and even said that when you were at the gate of Hui'an City, you thought of the situation in Yongqing County that day. How come you forgot what you said so quickly?"
"You are a coward and you dare not admit your mistakes. You are really shameless!"
The other party pointed at Yang Fu's nose, his chest heaving with anger, and he could only utter one word, "You, you, you..."
The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of the people in the surrounding Xinghua Village, and they naturally heard what Yang Fu said.
This is not only for him, but also for others.
"Okay, okay, okay, Yang Fu, you have become more capable."
Yang Fu snorted coldly.
Seeing that his father was very angry, Yang Fu's cousin immediately jumped out and said, "It's your fault in the first place. As the head of the village, you didn't take the right path, which led to our fate. It wouldn't have been like this when Su Yin was here. No matter how difficult the problem is, you can solve it."
He continued, "Back then, you drove Su Yin and the others away for Da Zhuang's family. Keeping a useless person and driving away the useful ones, isn't this a dereliction of duty on the part of the village head?"
Yang Fu also became angry. These people were becoming more and more capable of confusing right and wrong.
"What the hell are you talking about! It was my father who said that he would punish them and drive them away, but it was you guys who wanted to keep their family. Now you are innocent and it is our fault. Do you have any shame?"
The argument here was getting louder and louder. Yang Lizheng was supported over and shouted, "Boss, shut up."
"Dad, at this time, do you still want us to endure it? I don't want to endure it anymore. It's obviously not your fault, why should we bear all the consequences and all the blame fall on you? Is it just because you are the head of the village?"
"We are fleeing now. Xinghua Village is long gone and you are not a village head. You can put down the burden on your shoulders. Dad, I beg you." Yang Fu's eyes were red and filled with tears.
Yang Lizheng was about to say something but stopped himself, and finally sighed heavily.
Forget it, forget it.
With his cloudy eyes, Yang Lizheng slowly looked at the people of Xinghua Village standing around him, and said to everyone, "From today on, I am no longer the Lizheng of Xinghua Village, and you don't have to listen to me anymore. Do whatever you want, and I won't say a word more."
When these words were spoken, everyone in Xinghua Village was stunned.
Although they blamed the head of the village for making the wrong decision, when they heard that he was going to resign from the position of head of the village, everyone felt uneasy for no reason.
All of a sudden, everyone lost their backbone and became confused and hesitant.
Someone immediately spoke up to stop him, "Li Zheng, please don't say anything angry. We recognize you. You can't abandon us. We have never said that you are wrong."
"Village head, Uncle Yang was just speaking in anger, don't take it seriously."
"If you stop being the head of the village, our Xinghua Village will really be gone."
Faced with the villagers' requests to stay, Yang Lizheng remained unmoved.
"I am old and don't have much time left to live. The village is gone, and the position of village chief should have been gone long ago. You don't need to say anything, I have made up my mind."
Seeing that he was serious, everyone in Xinghua Village panicked, and the ones with the ugliest expressions were Uncle Yang and his family.
Yang Fu and his brothers were very happy because their father had finally learned to let go.
Without this burden, he believed that they would be fine.
Yang Fu helped Yang Lizheng back. Yang Lizheng and his family had already packed their luggage and were on their way.
This time they didn't call anyone.
In the past, some people dragged their feet, but today, there was no rush and everyone followed suit immediately.
Everyone was silent along the way, and several older villagers were planning to discuss the previous matters with Yang Lizheng again.
Da Zhuang's family was left behind by everyone.
Ever since Su Yin and his group left, Da Zhuang's family has been unwelcome in the team.
