Chapter 176 Severance
Fortunately, Aunt Liang San came with her today, otherwise Zeng Xiaoyan probably wouldn't even have the chance to speak and explain.
Zeng Xiaoyan had the opportunity to speak, so how could she tolerate Fang Zhengduan's nonsense? Whether Mrs. Zeng believed it or not was another matter, but she said she would definitely tell it.
Zeng Xiaoyan had a righteous response to every word of Mrs. Zeng's angry rebuke and questioning, and bluntly pointed out that Fang Zhengduan was talking nonsense.
"If you don't believe me, why not ask Shopkeeper Fang to come and confront me? If that doesn't work, why not ask all the witnesses to come as well? If you still don't believe me, I suggest you report it to the police and let them make the final decision. I believe that justice will prevail in court."
"How outrageous!"
Mrs. Zeng was so angry that she glared at Zeng Xiaoyan as if she wanted to tear her apart.
No one had ever dared to accuse her brother, whom she had always loved and protected, in front of her.
In fact, she knew what kind of person her brother was, but out of the love that an elder sister has for her brother, she was willing to believe that one day her brother would change for the better.
It was this hope that made her stubborn, even though her two children did not dare to say anything wrong about their uncle.
Even if my uncle occasionally does something wrong, it is not intentional. There must be various reasons that lead to it. My uncle is a good person.
At this moment, Zeng Xiaoyan ruthlessly tore off the veil and forced her to face the fact that she was most reluctant to face. How could Mrs. Zeng not be angry?
She knew in her heart without asking that what Zeng Xiaoyan said was the truth.
So what?
As a younger generation, she is so ruthless to her elders. Is she right?
"Zeng Xiaoyan, you are so ungrateful. You don't deserve to be a daughter of the Zeng family!"
Mrs. Zeng was so angry that she didn't care about Aunt Liang's presence and scolded her directly.
Aunt Liang was shocked and angry: "What does this mean, Madam?"
Madam Zeng sneered, "Don't you understand what I mean? We in the Zeng family don't want ungrateful people. If this damn girl had even a little bit of regard for her own family, things wouldn't have come to this. She wouldn't have caused my brother to suffer such humiliation. What is this ungrateful person doing here?"
Zeng Xiaoyan looked at Aunt Liang San: "Mom, if I lost my family, would you and Dad still want me to be your daughter-in-law? Would you and Dad think I'm embarrassing?"
If she dislikes it, then there is nothing she can do. She has to be thick-skinned and just follow Sister Zhichun.
It is impossible to ask her to surrender and beg her stepmother.
It's not that she is unwilling to give in, but it's useless to give in.
Liang Mingliang quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Liang family is not such a heartless family. You are my wife, and no one can drive you away."
Aunt Liang was heartbroken. "My dear child, you haven't done anything wrong. How could we not want you? Don't worry, everything will be the same in the future. If anyone in our family dares to look down on you, I will teach them a lesson. As for outsiders, it's fine if they don't say it to your face. But if anyone dares to gossip to our face, we Liang family members will be dead."
What did this child do wrong? Mrs. Zeng's words were really too much. If she ran into an unreasonable family, wouldn't that destroy Xiaoyan's life?
Zeng Xiaoyan didn't feel anything about Liang Mingliang's words, but her mother-in-law's words made her feel at ease. Her heart softened, "Thank you, mother!"
Mrs. Zeng laughed in anger, "Okay, okay, this is your own choice, you can't blame me. Listen up, there will be no Third Miss in the Zeng family from now on. If the Third Miss ever comes to visit, don't report it to me, just kick her out."
Zeng Xiaoyan sneered, "Words are useless. How about writing it down in black and white and signing it? It's time for us to save some dignity. Mother, please be fair in your words. Otherwise, I won't sign. It's the Zeng family who dislikes me, not me who wants to leave home."
Aunt Liang agreed.
Mrs. Zeng was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. What she just said was just a spit of anger, but at this moment, she took it seriously.
An ungrateful person is indeed an ungrateful person, he can never be tamed.
If that’s the case, forget it.
"Okay, okay, okay, Zeng Xiaoyan, you asked for this."
"Everything is up to my mother."
Mrs. Zeng said in a trembling voice: "Go, call the housekeeper for me."
Butler Zeng was soon invited over, and Mrs. Zeng, with a sullen face, ordered him to write a letter of severance of the engagement.
Butler Zeng sensed something was amiss as soon as he entered the room. Madam Zeng's words still made him almost jump up in shock. "Wh-what book? Madam, what did you say?"
"Letter of severance," Madam Zeng said coldly, "Miss Third is unworthy of being a daughter of our Zeng family. From this day forward, we sever all ties with our Zeng family. From now on, we will have no further ties. We will keep our distance and have no further contact until we die."
"Madam, this—may I ask if the master knows about this?"
"Just write when I tell you to! Stop talking nonsense!"
Butler Zeng didn't dare to say anything else. With the lady's temper, why should he seek scolding?
Soon, two copies of the deed were completed, and Mrs. Zeng and Zeng Xiaoyan signed them very quickly and decisively with their fingerprints.
Mrs. Zeng sneered: "Get out of our Zeng family and don't dirty the Zeng family's land again."
"Don't worry, I won't come even if you invite me."
"Oh, you are good at flattering yourself."
Aunt Liang: "Let's go."
Madam Zeng glanced at Butler Zeng coldly and said, "I will talk to Master about this myself."
"Yes, ma'am."
It means telling him to stop talking.
Aunt Liang sighed secretly and comforted Zeng Xiaoyan: "Don't be sad, the Liang family is your home, and no one will bully you."
Zeng Xiaoyan laughed instead, "Mom, I'm not sad at all, really."
It's obviously a relaxing experience.
Sister Zhichun is right. She can rely on herself, so why should she try to rely on her parents' family who are totally unreliable?
It’s good enough that Mrs. Zeng didn’t add insult to injury.
Xu Zhichun was a little surprised when he heard this.
The ancients attached great importance to clan system, and the concept of family was deeply rooted. Although not many people take being expelled from one's family or clan seriously in modern times, it was a serious matter in ancient times, and in serious cases it could even result in loss of life.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zeng actually kicked Zeng Xiaoyan out of the house.
She really works hard for her brother from her natal family.
Xu Zhichun herself doesn't know where she came from and has no sense of belonging. If this kind of thing happened to her, she probably wouldn't care. I wonder what Xiaoyan would think.
Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with me.
I feel even more sorry, what should I do?
Zeng Xiaoyan, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. "That's good now. I don't have to listen to their sarcasm and watch their faces anymore!"
Xu Zhichun saw that she was smiling brightly when she said this, without any forced smile or pretense. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled back, "If you really think so, it can be considered a new life and a fresh start. Things will be better in the future."
"Well, thanks to Sister Zhichun for her good wishes!"
With Zeng Xiaoyan's presence, it became more natural for everyone to have a meal together.
It can be called a celebration or a comfort.
Anyway, delicious food can solve everything.
Xu Zhichun suggested that we hold it tomorrow night, and no one objected.
So the next day we had dinner at Xu Zhichun's house again and invited Chunfen to stay.
