I only complained a few times, how did it escalate to the point of wanting to separate the family?
Xu Chenggang squinted at Xu Songyuan, thinking about what had happened in the past two days. With Xu Songyuan's intelligence, it really had nothing to do with him.
Several elderly people in the village knew about Xu Xue's background; she was adopted from Xu Zhongtang's family.
Xu Zhongtang: "Brother, since Xiaoxue knows she was wrong, let's just let it go."
Xu Songyuan still held Lao Ding's hand. "Lao Ding, you live close to the village chief. Could you please call him over? The only person I've ever wronged in my life is my wife. I've done everything I could to raise Xu Xue. Second brother, you should take Xu Xue back with you."
Xu Zhongtang and Sun Xiumin's faces turned from white to green. They never expected Xu Songyuan to speak so bluntly!
Xu Xue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Dad? What are you saying?"
Xu Songyuan didn't expose her, saying, "You are your second uncle's daughter, who was adopted by me when you were little. I can't afford to raise you now, and I'm about to die. Go back to your home, consider it a way out."
Seeing that Xu Songyuan was determined, Lao Ding helped him make the trip, and soon the village chief and the village committee secretary arrived.
The older folks in the village all knew Xu Xue's background. She was an adopted girl with an arrogant and domineering personality. How could she possibly have the nerve to occupy Xu Songyuan's house and land? The village officials, however, thought that if the family were divided and Xu Songyuan were gone, the house and land would be confiscated.
Xu Zhongtang's tone was dry as he told Xu Songyuan to reconsider.
Old Ding couldn't stand it anymore. "Xu Zhongtang, all these years your brother has been supporting Xu Xue, scrimping and saving, giving it all to her. Look at Xu Xue's attitude now. I can hear her yelling at your brother every day while I'm working on the mountain. You should break it off already."
If Xu Songyuan were to pass away, his neighbors, who had lived together for decades, would all be able to help with the funeral arrangements, so Xu Xue wouldn't need to help.
Xu Xue had absolutely no idea what to do.
Xu Songyuan and Xu Zhongtang's families originally came to Xingfu Village as refugees from famine. They didn't have much land. The village committee secretary first had Xu Songyuan sign the agreement and then handed it to Xu Xue.
Xu Xue was caught in a dilemma.
Xu Zhongtang's family will continue to live in Xingfu Village...
The Xu family members exchanged glances.
Xu Songyuan started coughing again.
Even the village committee secretary couldn't stand it anymore. "Hurry up and sign it. Xu Songyuan has had a tough time all these years."
The dying wish of a person on the verge of death has been distorted like this; how can things ever be reconciled?
I'm not a spineless coward.
