Xu Zhongtang and his wife, Xu Xue, and Xu Chenggang, Xu's second uncle, arrived at the police station an hour later.
Xu Songyuan was inside giving a statement, recounting the events that had occurred recently.
Upon seeing Xu Zhongtang arrive, Xu Songyuan immediately pointed at Xu Zhongtang.
"Zhongtang, come here right now! Wasn't this the same guy who robbed us outside the hospital last time?! He and his accomplices are robbing us again today, and it's over five hundred yuan! We have to get that money back, or this isn't over!"
Xu Zhongtang looked at the cowering Xu Peng and his heart sank.
The young man panicked, crying out, "It wasn't me—"
Xu Zhongtang abruptly interrupted, slapping the young man across the face.
Shut up!
Xu Zhongtang glared at him, his eyes flashing.
He added, "You hired someone to rob you and you still have the nerve to complain about being wronged!"
The police stopped Xu Zhongtang again, saying, "Comrade, this is a police station. You can't do whatever you want here. You stand here and don't hit anyone!"
Sun Xiumin was also anxious, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
The whole family knew about the robbery; it was part of their plan. They were really unsure about what was going on today.
Xu Xue looked at Xu Songyuan, feeling extremely resentful.
"Dad, it's all your fault! Why did you have to make a fuss about withdrawing the money? Now look what's happened, the money's gone! My dowry's all gone!"
Xu Songyuan started coughing again. "I'm just afraid I might leave one day, so I want to arrange everything properly."
Some righteous bystanders couldn't stand it.
"How can you talk like that, girl? Your father has been apologizing to you all the way here. He's seriously ill. How can you say that? If it were my daughter, I would have kicked her out of the house long ago."
"Exactly, what kind of person is he? We're all worried that something might happen to your dad on the way."
Xu Xue's face paled, a flash of anger crossed her face, but she held back and didn't say anything more.
Xu Chenggang's experienced gaze swept over the group, and he asked the police what had happened.
The police organized their statements based on what Xu Songyuan and several witnesses had said.
Anyway, this matter is inextricably linked to young people.
Xu Chenggang's face darkened, and he cursed Xu Songyuan in his heart, but he cursed Xu Peng even more.
Xu Peng doesn't even use his brain when he does things. They didn't even know about this, and now it's gotten to the police station. What a disgrace!
The police took the young man in for questioning.
Xu Songyuan continued to sit there sighing.
Xu Xue was flexible and went over to apologize, "Dad, that's not what I meant."
Xu Songyuan didn't want to listen and started coughing, interrupting Xu Xue's next words.
The police couldn't get anything out of him, so the town leaders made a phone call and released the young man, saying there was no evidence that he knew the person who robbed him.
It's also possible that Xu Songyuan misread it.
How did a thief from the capital city end up in Luoan Town?
Xu Songyuan knew perfectly well that it was Xu Xue's boyfriend's father who had made the arrangements.
Now that the money has been transferred, Xu Songyuan felt relieved.
Xu Songyuan was in poor health and walked slowly, so he was at the back. Xu Zhongtang's family walked briskly, muttering something under their breath, and none of them paid any attention to Xu Songyuan behind them.
After his eldest sister passed away, Xu Songyuan lived alone. He never relied on his second uncle's family. Later, he got married, but passed away a few years later.
For decades, Xu Songyuan has lived alone, but thankfully he has now found his elder sister.
It was already dark when I got home.
Xu Xue endured it all the way home, but when she got there she started to lose her temper, complaining that Xu Songyuan insisted on going to get the money.
Xu Songyuan was still in the courtyard, listening to Xu Xue's words.
"Dad, how can there be such a stupid person as you in this world! You can't even protect money, what use are you? I'm speechless."
"What are we going to do with my dowry now? Tell me!"
"If you're useless, you might as well just die!"
Xu Xue started yelling and screaming like she had a violent temper, while Xu Songyuan in the courtyard remained silent.
Until someone on the hillside or by the fields couldn't stand it anymore, several people carrying hoes came to the Xu family's house and said to Xu Xue:
"Your dad hasn't been feeling well these past few days, Xu Xue, you can't be so heartless!"
"Your dad has raised you for so many years, even a dog has feelings for you."
...
Xu Xue was furious. "Shut up, all of you! You don't know anything!"
“How could we not know? You’re the best dressed and have the best things in the village. Look at your dad, he hasn’t even eaten an egg in years. He’s worn the same clothes for over ten years, and he doesn’t even turn on the light at night.”
Suddenly, Xu Songyuan raised his hand. "Xiaoxue, my health is a burden to you. I was planning to settle things for you before I passed away. I don't know if the person who robbed you is related to Xu Peng. Since you hate me so much, let's separate the family—"
After saying that, Xu Songyuan's face turned pale, his eyelids rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
"My God! Xu Songyuan was so angry with his daughter that he fainted!"
"I hope he's not dead!"
"Xu Xue really angered her dad!"
"Help! Someone come quick!"
Xu Xue panicked immediately, "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"
The group worked together to carry Xu Songyuan to the bed inside the house, and then quickly checked his breath and pinched his philtrum.
The Xu Zhongtang family from next door also came, and Xu Peng followed behind them, his eyes swollen from crying.
Xu Songyuan slowly woke up, grabbed the hand of the person next to him, and said, "Old Ding, help me call the village committee secretary. I want to divide the family property."
What???
Separation of the family? ??
Xu Xue's expression changed drastically.
Xu Zhongtang's family was also shocked.
Why the sudden talk of splitting up the family business?!
"I'm sorry to Xu Xue for this. I couldn't protect the money. I did what I could. We have no father-daughter relationship. You can leave now."
Xu Xue immediately turned to look at Xu Zhongtang and the others. She swallowed hard; this was completely beyond her expectations.
