Chapter 266 So that Li Wangjin can be his second brother's slave for the rest of his life!
(Thanks to the little big friend for casting a monthly vote.)
Li Shiyue stood at the front. She cupped her hands in greeting to Li Youfu, who came out of the house, and then led the people behind her to the side.
There were already chairs and stools set up by Yu Zhenniang, and Li Shiyue thanked Yu Zhenniang and sat down directly.
As soon as Li Shiyue sat down, Li Wangjin knelt down in front of Li Youfu, tears streaming down his face before he could even speak. It was quite an ugly sight to see such a big man crying like that.
As soon as he knelt down, Wang Xiangxing followed suit. Her crying was far more beautiful than Li Wangjin's; her sobbing was heartbreaking to hear.
With one arm slung in a sling and chicken blood smeared on his outer shirt, Tiger didn't even wear a hat in the dead of winter, revealing his pitiful appearance with his head wrapped in a white cloth.
Tiger is a good boy. He really took to heart everything Li Shiyue, Li Wangjin, and Wang Xiangxing said.
At this moment, Li Shiyue saw Hu Zi and he followed Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing's example, kneeling on the ground. He grabbed Wang Xiangxing's arm with his other arm, crying loudly with snot and tears streaming down his face, shouting, "Mother... Waaah... Father... Waaah..."
Li Youfu's face immediately fell. Who would have thought that Li Wangjin and his family, who came to his door, would not say a word, but instead kneel down in front of him and cry like this?
This makes it seem like they've suffered a tremendous injustice, and it really makes you feel like this family of three is truly miserable.
The Eighth Uncle's family entered Li Youfu's courtyard amidst the cries of Li Wangjin's family of three.
Behind the Eighth Uncle's family were several other members of the Li clan. These dozen or so people were from families that were closely related by blood. They had heard the crying from afar and had come to see what was going on.
Li Shiyue glanced over and silently counted in her mind to make sure that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived. All the members of the Li clan had come, filling Li Youfu's courtyard to the brim. She then raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed lightly as she came out.
"You unfilial son..."
Before Eighth Uncle could finish his tirade while pointing at Li Wangjin's retreating figure, Wang Xiangxing heard Li Shiyue's soft cough and knew it was her turn to perform.
A shrill scream interrupted the eighth uncle's cursing, "Ah! Uncle Youfu! My son Huzi was almost kicked to death by his father-in-law!"
Ah! Waaah!
My husband and I have been together for so many years, and this is our only child!
If anything happens to Tiger, neither of us wants to live anymore!
Seeing Wang Xiangxing's hysterical crying and shouting, Li Youfu frowned. He hated women shouting the most. Just as he was about to say something, Li Wangjin wiped his snot and tears with the back of his hand, then tilted his head back and shouted after Wang Xiangxing.
"Uncle Youfu, look at my Tiger!"
Look at the back of his head!
The doctor in town said, "Tiger, Tiger... Tiger almost died!"
I almost died!
My little tiger!
When Li Youfu saw Hu Zi, who was being held in Li Wangjin's arms with his back to him and whose head was wrapped in white cloth, he didn't know what to say and had to shut his mouth again.
However, Li Wangjin hadn't finished speaking yet.
"My son is about to be kicked to death by his dear grandfather!"
Uncle Fu!
Before our clan fled famine, I was used like a donkey to work for my family!
I'm willing to work for the family because when my mother died, she held my hand and asked me to take good care of my second brother!
But Xiangxing came with me and gave birth to Huzi. They haven't had a single good day with me!
I've been working for my family for over ten years!
My son, Tiger, was almost beaten to death!
I can't stay in this house any longer!
Uncle Fu!
I want to split up the family!
I'm taking my wife and kids and moving out of the family!
I've done right by my dad and my second brother!
Uncle Youfu, I can't let my child be beaten to death!
Upon hearing the words "separation of the family," Li Youfu raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes, while his eighth great-uncle felt a surge of anger rising from his chest to the top of his head.
"This is outrageous!"
Brother, I think you've gone mad!
I'm still alive! And you want to split up the family?
Bullshit! I think you're just delusional!
Impossible! You want to split up the family?
"Wait until the day I die!"
Li Youfu naturally did not want Li Wangjin to separate from his eighth uncle. Li Youfu knew that as long as the family separated, the parents' authority would inevitably decrease, and the family cohesion would also decrease, thus affecting the power of the patriarchs!
Besides, if Li Wangjin says he wants to split the family today and succeeds, what if someone else says they want to split the family tomorrow?
The family split up, split up, and went into many smaller families. Who will lead the clan patriarch?
Liujiatun has already fallen into Li Shiyue's hands, so does the Li clan also have to be handed over to Li Shiyue?
Thinking of this, Li Youfu naturally looked at Li Shiyue, who was sitting to the side. Li Shiyue naturally felt Li Youfu's gaze on her, and she looked up expressionlessly to meet Li Youfu's eyes.
She just looked over there, without saying a word or nodding, just staring.
Finally, Li Youfu was the first to look away. He looked at the family of three kneeling in front of him, crying so hard they could barely breathe, and pondered how to resolve the situation.
Li Shiyue and Li Youfu, the two people in charge, remained silent, but the words spoken by Li Wangjin's family of three and their eighth uncle made everyone watching widen their eyes.
Even in this courtyard still covered in snow, with the cold northeast wind blowing and people hunching their shoulders and hiding their feet, nothing could stop the Li clan members from watching the spectacle.
After all, there's nothing new to see in the village during this cold winter month. The spectacle of Li Wangjin demanding a division of the family property is quite amusing.
"Oh dear, look at that! Wang Jin's little kid's arm is in a sling. Did he break it?"
I didn't expect that person to be so ruthless.
"Isn't that right? That guy is ruthless."
Have you forgotten? Back when we hadn't fled famine, there was a year when there was a torrential downpour. His family was in such heavy rain that they had to send Wang Jin out in the rain to clear the ditch!
Even if you're biased, you can't treat your children like human beings!
"Oh dear, now that you mention it, I have a feeling that this time it might have been a deliberate kick to the child."
This is an attempt to eradicate Wang Jin's roots!
One person said so, and everyone went to look at Hu Zi's appearance. After looking at him and combining what Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing had said, in just a few breaths, these people were convinced that they had made a discovery.
What did they discover?
They discovered that Eighth Uncle deliberately kicked Tiger to cut off the lineage of this son he disliked, Li Wangjin, so that Li Wangjin would be forced to serve his second brother like a slave for the rest of his life!
