Su's father didn't want to argue with them too much. Ranran was still at home. Before coming, he and Huilan discussed it and decided not to let Ranran come with them. They were afraid that the people from the old house would upset Ranran again, so they asked her to stay at home and wait.
Brother, you've really lost all sense of shame. What did I force our parents to do? Didn't they kick me out of the house? Didn't they say they'd separated me from the family? You and I are both their sons, so why didn't they kick you out of the house and separate you from the family?
You can't be ungrateful after getting something for nothing. All the things your parents have taken from our house over the years have ended up in your own mouths and pockets.
Aren't you just worried that after signing the family division agreement, you'll lose your excuse to have your parents come knocking on your door and asking for things? I didn't care before because I remembered Grandpa's teachings: filial piety comes first.
I'm not worried about what others say about me, and please don't bring up things like my parents gave birth to me and raised me. I've been in this village since I was born, and I've lived for over thirty years. Everyone in the village can see what kind of life I've led and how I've treated my parents.
Brother, you keep saying that it's okay for me to give some things to our parents, but am I giving them to our parents? I'm giving them to you, aren't I? All these years, I've been your son.
You're so shameless. Don't you know why I was kicked out back then? It was because you and your wife said, "We have too many kids and nowhere to live. It would be best if we left so the rooms would be empty."
Just one room, and yet it left me homeless in the dead of winter. I called you "brother," don't you feel ashamed? Your eldest son is old enough to get married; have some self-respect!
The eldest son was so ashamed by his father's words that he wanted to disappear into thin air. His face turned redder and redder. He never expected that his second son would dare to say such things. He was simply insane.
Mom and Dad, if you sign this document today, I will execute it. If you don't sign it, then I can only be an unfilial son. The family's things and the house will be redistributed. What my eldest brother has, I must have too. Not a single thing will be missing. If my eldest brother gives you support payments in the future, then I will give them too. If he doesn't give me any, then I won't give any either. Anyway, you have more than one son.
Don't talk about giving birth to me and raising me. I accept that I was born, so I don't blame you for kicking me out. I've accepted being treated like a slave for more than ten years.
But I don't acknowledge that you raised me. Every person in the village who is your age knows that I was abandoned by my parents to live with my grandparents just a few days after I was born. You didn't give me a single penny or any food. I ate my grandparents' food and used their things.
I was already able to work and take care of myself when I was thirteen. My parents came to take me home. You know very well what kind of life I led after that.
"Village chief, could you please draft a family division agreement for me? Just write it the way I say it." Father Su had reached his limit; his parents and elder brother were utterly shameless and disgusting.
The village chief quickly wrote the family division document, and Su's father took it and wrote his name on it, then asked Su's mother, who was standing next to him, to write her name as well.
The documents were handed to Old Man Su. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but couldn't utter a word. He had completely lost face tonight. Old Woman Su still wanted to bargain about the alimony, but Father Su bluntly said, "If you think it's too little, then don't give a single penny." Anyway, his elder brother had nothing to give, so it was normal for him not to give either.
Seeing that there was no way to change the situation, the elders in the house, as well as the village chief and the brigade leader, all looked at him, his wife, and his eldest son with disdain. Old Man Su signed his name on the document, while his wife, who couldn't write, put her fingerprint on it. Then, the eldest son and his wife, who had been keeping a low profile, also signed their names.
