"Grandpa, Grandma, we three brothers want to sever ties with our parents. From now on, we don't need to care about their lives or deaths, and their births, aging, illnesses, and deaths are none of our business."
As Jin Dan spoke, tears welled up in his eyes and streamed down his cheeks.
Two tear streaks were clearly visible.
Silver Egg and Bronze Egg did not object when they heard their brother's words.
Instead, they each rested their little heads on their older brothers' shoulders.
She was still holding her brother's arm.
It was as if only in this way could I have a little strength.
Three children, all under ten years old, huddled together tightly.
Aunt Xiao looked at her precious grandson with an expression of utter despair.
A pang of pain shot through my heart.
This is her grandson.
This is her grandson, whom she has raised indoors since he was a baby.
In an instant, tears welled up and blurred my vision.
Using the blurry vision, Aunt Xiao climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and sat behind her three grandsons.
She spread her arms and held three children.
"Okay, okay, we won't live with these two anymore. From now on, we'll live with Grandma. Grandma loves you all. As long as Grandma is here, my grandsons won't go hungry."
After hearing Zhang Hehua's outrageous statement, Su Ruobai...
Originally, I wanted to imitate Aunt Xiao and slap her.
Surprisingly, the first person to object was the timid Luo Xiaoyu.
Moreover, she never expected things to turn out this way.
Several children under the age of ten actually took the initiative to sever ties with their biological parents.
Especially in this era when people are just beginning to have enough to eat.
The Xiao brothers continued smoking their pipes, as if Jin Dan's words were perfectly normal.
It gives the impression that it's not unusual for tiny babies to sever ties with their parents.
Xiao Yiyun was shocked. When did these mischievous kids come up with such an idea?
But it's good, because if these three kids really went back to their biological parents after the family split up, they'd probably starve to death.
Luo Xiaoyu remained silent, only looking at the three eggs with heartache in her eyes.
Ah, if only this thing could have crawled out of her belly.
She must have loved them all as much as she loved Tiedan; it's a pity they weren't her own children.
Never mind, I'll take better care of her from now on.
Zhang Hehua stared wide-eyed at her three sons in utter shock.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by severing ties? Let me tell you, I gave birth to you, so you have to take care of me in my old age. You think you can just ignore me when I'm alive, sick, or dead? Dream on!"
Xiao Yijing also looked at his three sons with a displeased expression.
"What are you talking about? We are your parents. We will definitely take care of you and provide you with food and clothing. How can you say we are cutting ties?"
Golden Egg raised his hand and wiped away his tears.
“You’re sure we’d starve to death if it weren’t for our grandparents, we three brothers would have starved to death.”
I can't remember my own affairs; I was young then. But I remember the copper egg incident very clearly.
The milk powder coupons that my third uncle brought back were all stolen by Zhang Hehua, who used them to buy milk powder for that chubby little boy. If it weren't for my grandparents, we would have starved to death eight hundred times over.
Today is the day for the family to separate, right? Perfect timing, since everyone's separating, we'll separate from you too. In order to survive, we'll stay with Grandpa and Grandma.
You want Zhang Hehua's parents to come and cause trouble? Fine, come and cause trouble. We'll go to the commune and the county to make a scene.
Let everyone see that Xiao Yijing and Zhang Hehua didn't raise their son themselves, but made their parents and brothers help raise him. In the end, after the family split up, they still wanted to get benefits from their brothers and parents.
Are you trying to profit from our grandparents? No, you're exploiting us three brothers.
You said you'd take care of us? Bah! Did you take care of us with your mouth? All these years, have you ever cared whether we lived or died? Have you ever given us a single thing to eat? Did Zhang Hehua ever make us a single piece of clothing?
Our clothes were all made by Grandma and Second Aunt, who bought the fabric with money and ration coupons from our Third Uncle.
"You're the one who took care of us? If you were really taking care of us, then Silver Egg, Bronze Egg, and I would have been dead eight hundred years ago!"
Jin Dan shouted those last words with a sob in his voice.
He roared until he was hoarse.
His roar made everyone's eyes turn red with envy.
Xiao Yijing's head began to tighten again.
Has he become an enemy of his son? Is he really such a terrible father?
Zhang Hehua doesn't think so!
This little brat deserves a beating; he dared to call his parents by their names!
If Xiao Yijing hadn't stopped her, she would have already gone up and hit him!
After Jin Dan finally finished speaking, Xiao Yijing seemed to have been hit where it hit.
His hands hung limply at his sides.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Hehua stepped forward, stretched out her arm, and tried to slap Jin Dan.
Before my hand even touched the child's face, I felt a blur before my eyes and a sharp pain in my stomach.
He was sent flying backward by a force and crashed into the cabinet.
After lying on the ground for a while, I finally felt the excruciating pain all over my body and let out a loud scream.
"Murder! Murder!"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the person standing in front of Jin Dan and the others was actually Su Ruobai.
Hearing Zhang Hehua's loud and boisterous words.
Su Ruobai's eyebrows shot up, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. "Shut up!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hehua was startled by Su Ruobai's expression and quickly shut her mouth.
She felt that this third son's wife was even more frightening than the third son when he was angry.
Jin Dan recalled his mother's appearance just now, her face contorted with a ferocious rage, like that of a demon.
It looks like he's going to beat me to death!
