He knew that he had dutifully supported his elder brother without a single complaint. Wasn't he a good grandson for being so obedient?
Unlike the eldest brother, who is the family's hope for a turnaround and is undoubtedly the golden grandson.
No wonder her grandmother couldn't see the cow dung on him, but she cried her heart out when her older brother was injured.
Such blatant favoritism, it's infuriating that he only realized it now!
Li Manying was sleeping soundly when Zhao's earth-shattering waking her up. Just as she was about to curse, she heard something about a golden grandson.
This is really not right! He quickly wiped his face and ran out without even putting on his shoes.
"Little Tree, why are you back? In the car? Good heavens! Little Root, my darling! What happened to you?"
Zhao was half-lying on the oxcart, and Li Manying was somewhat stunned.
Looking at Chen Shu, seeing his indifferent expression, she had no time to think and had to step forward. Her heart clenched at the sight, and she and Zhao Shi began to cry on either side of each other.
The man pulling the oxcart looked speechless; anyone who didn't know better would think the person had died!
"Stop crying, hurry up and carry him inside, I'm in a hurry to get home!"
As soon as the man said this, Zhao found an outlet for her anger, grabbed his sleeve, and began to berate him:
"You heartless bastard! My precious grandson is in such a state, can't you just wait a moment longer or you'll die?"
The man flung Zhao's hand away, "What's wrong with you! I didn't hit your grandson like that. If you're not happy, go to the authorities! Who knows what he might have done wrong? Be careful your whole family suffers!"
If you don't carry him away, I'll just throw him out of the car!
What bad luck! How could I run into such a family? No wonder they threw cow dung at me!
"What's going on? Anyone who didn't know better would think their own mother had died!"
Aunt Li came out when she heard the commotion, holding a handful of melon seeds, and watched the show with great interest.
"Chen Ping's wife, I'm not trying to criticize you, but the child is already like this, why aren't you carrying him inside? Why are you letting your mother-in-law make such a fuss?"
Some people are truly harmful; they might even cause the family line to end, and then you'll be the one who suffers the consequences!
Zhao was furious: "Nonsense! This is my precious grandson, would I harm him?"
Aunt Li clicked her tongue twice and then stopped talking, standing aside eating sunflower seeds.
Li Manying raised her head and looked coldly at Zhao Shi, "What exactly are you up to? You have time to argue with a carriage driver, but no time to lend a hand?"
She could ignore Zhao's fighting with her, but if she harmed her child, she would never let her off!
Li Manying is such a stupid thing, she can't even tell when others are trying to provoke her!
Zhao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately swallowed her words. Together with Li Manying and Chen Shu, they gritted their teeth and carried the person into the house with great effort.
"Jin Sun, tell me what exactly happened?"
"My son, who do you think is so heartless?"
Chen Gen had regained some strength, but the bumpy ride on the village dirt road made him unable to speak again due to the pain.
Zhao and Li Manying kept asking questions. If he weren't unable to move, he would have loved to cover their mouths!
"It hurts, medicine!"
Li Manying stopped crying. "Yes, medicine, drink the medicine!"
Chen Shu watched coldly from the side, casually tossed the herbs to Li Manying, and walked out.
It turns out his mother was the same way; she only had eyes for her eldest brother!
Li Manying felt that Chen Shu was acting strangely, but she didn't think much of it. Chen Gen was already so badly injured, and all she could think about was making medicine as soon as possible.
Village entrance.
Upon seeing Chen Ping, Zhang Shaowen quickly jumped down from the tree and went home. After speaking with the village head, he immediately ran back up the mountain.
"Uncle Chen An, Aunt Cheng Yue, Uncle Chen Ping is back! My grandfather has already prepared everything and wants you to come down quickly."
So fast? She thought Chen Ping would linger in the arms of his mistress for a while longer, but she didn't expect him to come back so soon after they arrived home.
"Okay! Coming right away!" Chen An replied, picked up his cane, and went down the mountain with Cheng Yue and Chen Lin, the three siblings.
The document severing ties requires the entire family to be present and each person to put their fingerprint on it for it to be valid. That's why they waited until Chen Ping's whole family was present.
Chen Ping, Chen Shu, and Chen Gen always had their days off scheduled on the same day. Of course, this time it was because Chen Gen had arranged for them to be together.
In any case, this relationship is finally coming to an end.
Thinking of this, Chen An felt that the injury on his leg was almost fully healed. He had been reluctant to let go before, but after so many things had happened, he had long since become completely disheartened.
Cut ties with such family members completely; it will only bring you benefits!
"Right! I was startled too. They were wailing like that just now, I thought someone had died!"
"What?! I'll tell you quietly, it's Chen Gen! His ass is going to be beaten to a pulp!"
"Why do you think that is? They've already gone to the yamen (government office), they must have committed a crime!"
"Of course it's true! That's what the driver said. They brought it back to us, how could we not know?"
When Cheng Yue and her group arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw a crowd gathered in front of Zhao's house, discussing the matter.
Especially Aunt Li, who stood to the side and spoke so eloquently, speaking in a whisper but actually like a loudspeaker.
Now the whole village probably knows that Chen Gen went to the yamen and got his buttocks beaten black and blue.
"What? Severing ties with family?"
Chen Ping's voice came from inside the courtyard, presumably the village head had already told them about it, so Cheng Yue and the others quickly entered the courtyard.
"Yes! We're severing ties. Mother and I agreed on this last time, and we're just waiting for my eldest brother to come back!"
After Chen An finished speaking, Chen Ping was stunned for a long time. Hadn't they already separated their families? How did they get back to the topic of severing ties?
He hadn't been home for a month, and when he returned, he felt that everything was different.
As soon as I entered the village, I was pointed at and gossiped about by the villagers. When I got home, I hadn't even had a chance to sit down before the village head came to my door and asked me to sign some kind of document severing ties with my family. What kind of nonsense is this?!
"Sever ties! Sever ties! Eldest brother, hurry up and put your fingerprints on it. Our family has suffered so much lately, and it's all their fault!!"
Now even my precious grandson is like this, it's hard to say if it's all their fault! We need to break off this relationship quickly, otherwise, who knows when our whole family might suffer!
Before Zhao could complain to Chen Ping, the village head arrived, which reminded her of the situation.
When Chen An and Cheng Yue came in, it reminded her of the silver and livestock that had been swindled away. Coupled with Chen Gen's current appearance, she felt even more strongly that it was Chen An and his group who were responsible.
The village head didn't want to waste any more words. "Let's go, to the ancestral hall."
"Yes! Now that you're back, you should break it off quickly! Your mother made that agreement with Chen An last time!"
"Exactly, are you trying to back out? We're all witnesses! Who told your mother to have the nerve to do something like that!"
Zhao kept urging him on from the side, the village head was also urging him on, and even the villagers' words were full of sarcasm. Chen Ping's head started buzzing again.
His intuition told him he couldn't just cut ties like this, but the current situation was like putting him on the hot seat; he couldn't refuse either. Who knew what his mother had done this time!
Chen Ping rubbed his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's break it off!"
The division of the family has already caused a complete breakdown in relations; how is that any different from severing ties with relatives?
Chen An and Cheng Yue exchanged a smile, finally feeling relieved.
Chen Ping is very shrewd. If he knew they had done business together, it's hard to say whether the relationship would be severed.
If we don't do it while he's still confused, when will we?
