Chapter 13: Never See Each Other Again
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that her hands were shaking and she was cursing.
"You short-lived bastard, you'll regret it one day. Cut off the relationship, cut off the relationship immediately. I don't have sons or granddaughters like you."
"If you want to break off the relationship, then break it off. Who knows who will regret it!"
Wu Baoan didn't understand why this girl agreed to split the family and was not afraid of breaking off the relationship.
Doesn’t she know that after the family splits up and the relationship is severed, even the blood ties will be severed?
Wu Baoan looked rather embarrassed. He had lived for over fifty years and had only once been divided up as a family. This was the first time he had severed a relationship.
He asked again and again, "Auntie, why don't you think about it carefully so that you won't regret it in the future."
Old Mrs. Chen said with a sarcastic look on her face,
"Why should I regret it? They should be the ones who regret it. When my third son passes the imperial examination, he will be a scholar. Maybe he will become a juren in the future. You know, juren means a person who receives a salary from the imperial court.
I have to sever the relationship. I don’t lack such sons and disobedient granddaughters.”
Chen Zhancai urged with a smug look on his face, "Village head, since the eldest wife is unwilling to enjoy the good life with me, you should quickly write the letter of severance!"
Chen Qingqing knew that Mrs. Chen's heart was extremely cruel. She would do anything weird to ensure her third son's education.
It is fine to break off the relationship, which is just what I want. After breaking off the relationship, I will completely stop worrying about the future.
"Uncle Village Head, since my grandmother is determined to break off the engagement, we are trying so hard to persuade her to stay, but it seems like our eldest son has some ulterior motive.
To avoid suspicion, please take the trouble to be a witness.
Also, we need to change the contents of the family division agreement. Since we are no longer related, we don't need to give the one or two taels of silver as a filial gift."
"You're right. Once we write the letter of severance, we'll be strangers and pursue our own careers. There won't be any money for filial piety." Wu Baoan nodded in agreement.
Old Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and said, "We are strangers, so what? I will never have anything to do with them again. I want to see what this damn girl is capable of. If they leave the Chen family, they will starve to death."
Seeing that both parties had made up their minds, Wu Baoan picked up his pen and wrote a letter of severance. Both parties put their fingerprints on it, each kept a copy, and the village kept a copy as evidence.
Chen Zhanshan looked at the letter of severance in his hand, feeling heartbroken and tears welling up in his eyes. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully to the old man Chen and his wife.
His forehead touched the ground, tears dripping onto the yellow earth. He spoke in a trembling voice, "Dad, Mom, I won't be able to be with you to fulfill my filial duty. Take care of yourselves. I wish you good health and everything goes well."
Old Lady Chen's face was gloomy, and she shouted loudly, "Get out! Get out of here right now! I want to see how good your life will be without me!"
Chen Qingqing laughed wildly in her heart, finally drawing a clear line between herself and these weirdos.
"Don't worry, we will never bother you again, nor will we eat a single meal from your house.
But you have to think about how you are going to live in the future. After all, no one will be as hardworking and uncomplaining as my father.
No one will be like my mother, who not only has to wash the smelly clothes of the whole family, but also has to serve you three meals a day.
From now on, you will do these things yourself!"
After she said that, she smiled provocatively at Old Lady Chen.
Old Mrs. Chen's heart trembled, it seemed a bit hasty, but when she thought that they would kneel down and beg for forgiveness in a few days, she felt relieved.
She snorted coldly with a bad look on her face, "Silly girl, if the day comes when you cry, don't kneel down and beg me like a dog.
By then it won't be as simple as marrying you to Li the Butcher.
I will sell you to a brothel and let you suffer all the hardships of life."
Chen Qingqing sneered, "Old woman, go and dream about your life!"
Hearing Old Lady Chen cursing her daughter like that, Chen Zhanshan gritted his teeth in anger. He felt so sorry for his parents that his heart ached with guilt.
But such a vicious curse actually came from her own mother. What kind of vicious person must be to treat her own granddaughter like this.
He smiled bitterly, "Mom, don't worry, even if I take my wife and children to wander around the world, I will never sell her."
Everything is settled.
Wu Baoan sighed helplessly, "Uncle Chen, Auntie, I'm going to say something I shouldn't say, please don't be offended.
You have supported my third child's studies, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhanshan have been working hard and without complaint for so many years.
You really shouldn't have any ideas about Qing Yatou. As a parent, who wants to push their child into the fire? Don't you think this is reasonable?"
Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes, looking unhappy.
"Don't talk without any hesitation. What's the use of a money-losing girl? Didn't our Chunni study and get married for the sake of fortune? Isn't she living a good life? It's just his daughter who is pretentious.
Okay, you've witnessed what you should have witnessed. You have nothing to do here, so go back!"
Wu Baoan was so angry that his face turned pale. This old lady Chen really only uses people forward and not backward. What a jerk.
Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she still said patiently, "Qing girl, the days after the separation must have been difficult, you should comfort your parents more.
If you have any difficulties, please come to my house and I will never refuse to help you. "
Chen Qingqing took a big hen from Chen Han's hand and handed it to him, smiling and expressing her gratitude.
"Uncle Lizheng, thank you for what you did today. Take this chicken."
Wu Baoan repeatedly waved his hands to refuse, "That's impossible. How can I accept your chickens?"
"Uncle Lizheng, please don't refuse. If it weren't for you upholding justice today, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a place to live. You must accept this little gift."
"Okay then, I'll take the chicken, but don't be so polite next time."
Wu Baoan's eyes were full of smiles. He had been dealing with people all his life and could never make a mistake when judging people.
This Qing girl understands the ways of the world and is capable. The Chen family will definitely regret it in the future.
After giving a few more instructions, he turned around and left with the old hen.
When Old Lady Chen saw her giving the chicken away, her eyes nearly turned red with anxiety. "You still want to live a good life like this? You're such a loser."
Chen Qingqing glanced at her and said, "My chickens are mine, I can give them to anyone I want, what's it to you?"
Old man Chen's heart was bleeding. Such a big old hen, but the dead girl gave it away without blinking an eye. Does she still care about her grandparents?
He immediately took out his elder status and scolded, "You little girl, you are so disrespectful. How can you talk to your grandma like that?"
Chen Zhancai also had a pained look on his face. "You are such a scoundrel! Our family hasn't eaten meat in half a year, and you actually gave away such a fat hen. Are you crazy?"
Liu Fengjiao took over the conversation, "Exactly. He said she was a money-loser, but the boss didn't like it and treated her like a precious child. One day he'll cry."
Chen Qingqing chuckled, "Whose grandfather are you, and whose grandmother is she? We've already severed our relationship. From today on, we're not even relatives. Do you have the right to meddle in my family's affairs? Don't act like a senior and bully others when you don't have anything to do."
Old man Chen's face turned ashen from choking, and he collapsed without even catching his breath.
Old Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she cried out, "Old man, please don't scare me!"
Everyone in the Chen family was in a panic...
