Chen Ye didn't scare Chen Jiefang at all: "I said, my grandparents, your parents, passed away together seven days ago."
Before Chen Jiefang could ask why he hadn't been notified, Chen Ye continued, "Before this, the team leader and the village chief had both written to you to contact you, but we never received a reply from you."
Chen Jiefang knew why he hadn't received any letters from his hometown. It must be that his good wife took them away and threw them away, fearing that his hometown would ask him for money.
"I also asked for your address, Second Uncle. I wanted to let you know to go back and see Grandpa and Grandma. After all, their health is getting worse day by day. I don't know when they will... I thought you should see them at least."
"But my second uncle said he didn't know how to contact you, and my grandparents also said they couldn't contact you."
"The village chief wrote to you several years ago when you wrote back to your hometown. He memorized the address on the envelope and tried to contact you. When he didn't receive your reply, he thought you were no longer here."
So, when your parents died, don't blame others. You have to ask yourself and look for the reasons within yourself. The village contacted you, but you didn't respond at all. Isn't this your own responsibility?
As expected of a soldier with a strong will, Chen Jiefang soon came out of his sadness and looked at Chen Ye: "You came here for more than just this, right?"
Chen Ye rolled his eyes in his heart. Look at him, he is obviously an ungrateful guy. His parents are gone, but he doesn’t seem to be that sad.
"Of course, there's one more thing. I'm going to sever our father-daughter relationship," Chen Ye said very seriously. Everyone could tell that the kid was not joking, nor was he making a threat.
Chen Jiefang was stunned. This was different from what he expected. He thought the child came here for money, or simply came here to live with him and become a city dweller. He never expected that the child wanted to sever ties with him.
Chen Jiefang looked at Chen Ye with dark eyes: "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm sure of that, otherwise I wouldn't have come all this way."
Chen Ye didn't give Chen Jiefang a chance to speak: "Don't tell me about the grace of giving birth to a child. First of all, I've been drinking the Chen family's cooking water for over a year since I was born."
"It's the water I used to wash the pots for over a year, and it's the meal my remarried mother gave me every day. My good grandparents weren't that kind."
"I started eating at various families' restaurants when I was less than two years old. The Chen family never thought of me when they were eating. Even the clothes I wore and the shoes on my feet had nothing to do with the Chen family."
"These were all given to me by kind people in the village. From the time I was born until now, I have never worn even a single thread from the Chen family."
"Before I was five, I had already started looking for food on my own. During the three years of famine, I fed myself on tree bark and grass roots from the mountains. Until now, I have never properly eaten a grain of rice from your Chen family."
"I know. After all, the Chen family gave me a chance to survive. Even if you treat me badly, I have to admit this."
"But last year, my grandparents both collapsed on the kang (kang), and I was left alone. Not only did I have to take care of two elderly people who needed to eat and sleep, but I also had to work as a laborer in the fields to earn work points to support the family."
"My good second uncle went back three times in a year, and each time he went back was to ask for money. He never once took care of my grandparents."
"I drank the water used to wash the pots in your Chen family for a year, and I fed the two old people porridge for a year. You gave me life, and I will take your place in caring for the elderly and provide for their retirement."
"Even the coffins the two old men lived in after their death were made from wood I chopped down in the mountains by myself. I believe I have fully repaid their kindness."
"So don't talk to me about favors. Your Chen family has shown me no favors, only endless indifference and oppression."
"I have never eaten a grain of your rice, spent a penny of your money, or worn a piece of your cloth since I was a child. I have never been grateful for your upbringing."
Chen Ye bombarded Chen Jiefang with a string of words, and he couldn't even utter a word in rebuttal. He had never been back to his hometown since he left. In the beginning, he really had neither the time nor the money to go back.
Later, when he got married, his wife didn't allow him to give money to his hometown, let alone contact him. The money he sent back every month was sent secretly.
He would also correspond with his hometown, but his parents could not read, so the letters were sent directly to the second son. He really had no idea what life was like at home. He always thought that with the ten dollars he sent back, life at home should be quite comfortable.
After all, every time the second brother wrote to him, he said that everything was fine at home and his parents were doing well. He thought that his own brother would never lie to him about his parents.
He never expected that his parents, who were definitely good people but a little unreasonable in his eyes, could do something so excessive. He had always believed that as an adoptive father, what he had done was impeccable.
But looking at it this way, it was their family that owed the child. However, he would not say this out loud. After all, he did not know about those things and it was not his fault.
Chen Ye didn't know that Chen Jiefang was thinking this way. If he knew, he would definitely spit in his face. What do you mean I don't blame you if you don't know? As a father, doesn't he need to at least care about his children a little bit?
As long as Chen Jiefang said a few words or gave her some money, her life would not be so miserable.
If she had not had memories since birth and relatively mature thoughts, she would have been raised to be a timid, cowardly, and opinionless working machine that could be manipulated by others.
When they grow up, they will become commodities to be exchanged for betrothal gifts. The Chen family is definitely capable of doing this. They are all selfish egoists. As long as they live a good life, they will never think about whether this is right or wrong.
Chen Jiefang wanted to say something more, but in the end, his back felt numb and he swallowed the words back.
"Okay, if that's your request, I'll agree."
Chen Ye did not feel very happy or relieved. Instead, he looked at Chen Jiefang with some suspicion, feeling that this man should not agree so easily.
But she didn't notice anything wrong, and she wouldn't ask why you agreed to break up so readily, because that would be like contradicting yourself.
No matter why, as long as she can achieve her goal.
Chen Ye took out a piece of paper from his bag and placed it in front of Chen Jiefang, handing him a pen. "This is a letter of severance. I've already written everything on it. All you have to do is sign your name and put your fingerprint on it."
As he spoke, he took out a small piece of red paper from his pocket.
