Wei Changgen then realized that his second son now had a powerful backer and was different from them.
"Second brother, how did you become like this? Are you going to break ties with us for a woman?" Wei Changgen looked at Wei Baichuan's face and saw that the sadness on his face seemed quite real.
"Are you trying to play the family card? I never wanted to be your enemy, but I know your character very well, and I know your plans very well too."
“You are all greedy and despicable people. Just because I don’t talk about your schemes doesn’t mean I don’t understand them. This is the last chance I’m giving you.”
"Stay far away from us from now on. Since we've separated, let's do it properly. If you try to disturb my life with other intentions, I won't back down anymore."
“My wife once said that you can only be better off if she’s doing well, and I think that’s very true. I’m telling you, you can only live if we’re doing well.”
Wei Baichuan ignored the sadness in Wei Changgen's eyes; in their hearts, they didn't care about him at all.
They have an indomitable spirit; if he hadn't caught them red-handed, they would have made a comeback very soon.
"Go away. I promise you I won't come looking for you again, but if you tell anyone about this, you're in for it. I'll drag you down with me even if it kills me."
Wei Changgen knew that his son had completely severed ties with their family and could no longer be relied upon.
He stood up and looked at Wei Baichuan seriously. He never regretted what he had done. Everyone looks out for themselves, and he was right.
"I hope you keep your word." Wei Baichuan knew this meant he was being asked to leave, so he got up and left the Wei family home without a second thought.
"Father, what are you and Second Brother talking about? What's in the mountains?" Wei Baidao was completely confused.
He only just realized that there were many things about his family that he didn't know.
"That's right, husband. We're his parents, how can we let him control us? Didn't we agree that he would support the family financially? How can we just let him get away with this?"
Huang Cuifen didn't know what had happened either. Could it be related to that incident?
That doesn't make sense either. If that were the case, the second son wouldn't be so calm.
"Stop asking. Knowing too much won't do you any good. Our family needs to conserve our energy now; our better days are yet to come."
"From now on, just pretend that Lao Er doesn't exist. Nobody should go looking for him anymore." Wei Changgen was also annoyed. He couldn't understand how Lao Er had found out about this.
Wei Baidao was dismissed by his father with the same words again, something about having a good life in the future. After hearing Su Nianyou say such things so many times, he no longer believed a word of it.
Wei Baide glanced at his younger brother's anxious look with a mocking expression. He didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to prioritize him when there were good days.
The younger brother is in such a hurry because he's afraid of being robbed. He's the eldest son in the family, so there's no use in him being anxious.
Wei Baichuan's steps became exceptionally light as he left the Wei family's house. When he arrived home, he saw his wife standing at the door looking around, and finally a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"How is it? Did the Wei family make things difficult for you?" Su Ti had been worried ever since Wei Baichuan left. She wondered what kind of trouble those shameless people in the Wei family would cause her.
Wei Baichuan was always at a disadvantage when facing them, because those people were his parents and brothers.
"I'm fine. The Wei family won't bother us anymore." Wei Baichuan patted his wife's head, looking very relaxed.
"How could that be?" Su Ti's first reaction was disbelief. For a family like the Wei family, the motto was "fight to the death."
“Everyone has things they care about, and I have leverage over them.”
Wei Baichuan didn't hide it; he also planned to take his wife to meet them when he had the chance, and he was still grateful to those people.
Using them to threaten Wei Changgen was a last resort, but Wei Changgen's attitude was a bit strange.
"That's good." Su Ti looked at Wei Baichuan's nervous appearance, and it was clear that it was something he found difficult to talk about.
He certainly wouldn't keep anything good from her, and she didn't intend to put him in a difficult position; there would be plenty of opportunities to ask later.
"Aren't you going up the mountain? Go and rest for a bit, we can go after it gets dark." Su Ti didn't ask anything, which surprised Wei Baichuan.
He had already planned to explain everything to his wife, but he was afraid she would dislike him, since those people must have some connection to his family.
Otherwise, Wei Changgen wouldn't care and would go to so much trouble to protect them.
Thinking about those people's disgraceful past, there really wasn't a single thing in his house that he could be proud of.
"It's not completely dark yet, let me boil some water for you to take a bath first." Wei Baichuan saw that his wife was clearly not interested and didn't mention it again.
Suti felt it was getting late, and if he lingered any longer, he didn't know when he would be back.
Su Ti felt sorry for her husband, Wei Baichuan, who had to work hard during the day and didn't get a good night's rest. She quickly finished her shower and urged him repeatedly before he finally left.
"Brother Chuan, we thought you weren't coming." Wei Baichuan had just reached the entrance to the mountain when several people who had been hiding came out.
"Something came up and I was delayed, but it's not too late now." Wei Baichuan was carrying a small bundle on his back, which was full of things his wife had prepared.
Holding the bayonet his wife had given him, this hunting trip should be his last, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Bingzi and his friends helped him a lot last time, so this time they will try their best to catch more pheasants and rabbits so that their autumn harvest will be easier.
The group of people moved around the mountain and first went to check out the traps they had set up last time.
It's obvious that someone came here; even if there was prey, it was stolen by those people.
"Who's so shameless, always picking up the scraps right behind us?"
When Bingzi saw that the trap was empty and the surrounding things were destroyed, he figured that something must have been taken by someone else.
“We come here once every month or so, maybe he ran away on his own.” Wei Baichuan wasn’t angry. There was a large group of mountain people living in the distance.
They live far away, so usually no one comes here, but occasionally the mountain people will come to try their luck.
Bingzi was furious but there was nothing he could do, so he could only wander around the mountains with Wei Baichuan.
"Brother Chuan, where did you get this knife? It's really nice." Bingzi and the others had been following Wei Baichuan all the way, and they were very envious of Brother Chuan's knife.
"My wife gave it to me." Wei Baichuan couldn't stop smiling when he heard him say this.
"Your sister-in-law is so good to you." None of the soldiers were married. Their families were poor, and they were all the eldest children in their families with a lot of younger brothers and sisters.
They also need to help their parents support the family, and they hope to find a good wife in the future.
"My wife is indeed very good." Wei Baichuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he thought of Su Ti.
The group worked until midnight. This time, with the right tools, they caught a lot of pheasants and rabbits, and even a roe deer.
"Brother Chuan, you can take this roe deer back with you." The group thought that since Brother Chuan had now separated from the family, he could secretly eat it at home.
Unlike those families, they couldn't even eat the food they took back.
Furthermore, things from the mountains should theoretically be handed over, otherwise, if someone reports it, there will be dire consequences.
The group was arguing, unaware that Wei Changgen had also gone up the mountain.
