Zhou Yubai nodded solemnly to Uncle Zhou, "Great Uncle, we both agree on this matter, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
"Hmph, I have Sicheng. Uncle, you know that Sicheng is smart and capable, and he has a bright future. He has a brother with a bad record, which will have an impact on his future. When Zhou Yubai first came back, I wanted to kick him out of the house. If it wasn't for his father's face, how could I have tolerated him for so long?"
"Now, I have given him a wife, so I can be considered worthy of his father."
Widow Zhou put her hands on her hips, looking very great.
The people in the village talked in low voices.
"Although Zhou Yubai was indeed sent back by the army, he worked full time every day after returning and even went hunting in the mountains when he had nothing to do. The Zhou family still depends on him for support."
"That's right. Even if I'm sent back and don't get any severance pay, the allowance I received before that was still quite a bit."
"It's really heartless of Widow Zhou to say that."
"Zhou Sicheng is the same. He has shown no respect for his brother in the past two years. No matter how much his brother does, he doesn't appreciate it."
"Whether it's breaking off the relationship or dividing the clan, Zhou Yubai's life might be better in the future."
Shen Qingli held Zhou Yubai's hand the whole time, saying nothing but standing firm.
Uncle Zhou let out a long sigh. He didn't let Widow Zhou break off the relationship because he really cared about the Zhou family's bloodline. Without Zhou Yubai to help raise Zhou Sicheng and Zhou Sian, Widow Zhou would have a very hard time.
However, Widow Zhou did not appreciate it.
Forget it, let’s let Zhou Yubai go.
Uncle Zhou said solemnly, "Okay, then we will sever the relationship and divide the clan. From now on, Zhou Yubai's Zhou is no longer the same Zhou as Zhou Sicheng and Zhou Sian's Zhou. Zhou Yubai is no longer Song Lai Di's son, and will no longer bear the obligation of raising her."
"You have already separated, and the family property has nothing to do with Zhou Yubai. From now on, even if you want to beg for food, Zhou Yubai, you can't disturb Song Lai Di and her son."
"Similarly, Song Lai Di, no matter whether your children are filial to you or not, you cannot go to find Zhou Yubai."
"After the separation of the family line, Song Lai Di, your family is now Zhou Sicheng's family, and has no relationship with Zhou Yubai's family. If you come to our house again without any reason, even if they beat you to death or hand you over to the police, you cannot complain."
"Did you all hear that clearly?"
Uncle Zhou looked at both sides and asked.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will be filial to my mother." Zhou Sicheng was the first to express his opinion. From today on, he would be the head of the household.
They have drawn a clear line between themselves and Zhou Yubai, and even if Shen Qingli dies or Zhou Yubai is arrested, it will not affect his future.
"Uncle, I don't want to get involved in their family affairs until we have drawn a clear line in the family line." Widow Zhou said loudly, "When we divided the family before, he didn't want anything. He was repaying me for my kindness. But, after all, I gave birth to him. He must repay me for my kindness after we have severed our kinship and divided the family line. Give me one thousand yuan, and I will have repaid him for his kindness."
One thousand yuan in 1970 was an astronomical figure.
Shen Qingli raised her eyes and looked at Widow Zhou. She looked righteous and confident. This "favor of giving birth" was her trump card. Otherwise, Zhou Yubai had no money and this matter could not be settled. Zhou Yubai bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but continued to be bullied by her bloodsucking.
Otherwise, Zhou Yubai would give one thousand yuan, and Widow Zhou would get so much money that her and Zhou Sicheng's future life would be guaranteed.
No loss inside or outside.
Uncle Zhou looked unhappy, "Song Lai Di, don't go too far."
"Uncle, that's a life, it can't be measured by money. I even think what I asked for is not enough." Widow Zhou said proudly.
Uncle Zhou looked at Zhou Yubai with some embarrassment. Widow Zhou was using the grace of birth to demand it, and even if he had a high grade, there was nothing he could do.
Filial piety is greater than heaven.
Zhou Yubai looked at Widow Zhou and said slowly, "I have been able to remember things since I was five years old. I had a high fever that year and forgot about the past. I remembered it again in the past two years."
Widow Zhou's expression suddenly changed.
"Uncle, I don't want the money. After all, he is the son of the Zhou family. I just said it out of anger. Please take charge of the meeting."
Uncle Zhou was a little confused. How could it change so quickly? What happened when Zhou Yubai had a fever at the age of five?
"Uncle Tai, please write some paperwork." Zhou Yubai said.
Uncle Zhou no longer hesitated and wrote the documents for severing the relationship and dividing the lineage, including the agreement between the two parties, including that there would be no need for support in the future, etc. Four copies were made.
Widow Zhou couldn't write, so she pressed her fingerprints and Zhou Yubai signed his name.
Each party holds a copy, the team keeps a backup copy, and one copy is handed over to the higher authorities.
The matter is settled.
"What are you still watching all the hustle and bustle? You don't want to work anymore. You don't want today's work points anymore, right? If you don't finish the work, everyone will have half of their work points deducted." The team leader shouted loudly.
The noisy crowd dispersed in a hurry.
Widow Zhou and Zhou Sicheng left swearing.
Zhou Yubai carefully carried Shen Qingli back to the car and pushed her home.
Gu Qichuan followed them with a cold face, "Are you just going to let it go about the incident where that woman beat up Ah Li today?"
Zhou Yubai pursed his lips. He would definitely not let it go like this. He would use his own methods to seek justice for Qingli.
Shen Qingli looked at Gu Qichuan and said softly, "Brother Qichuan, it's good enough to have achieved this. This is a permanent solution. As for the beating I got today."
Shen Qingli looked around to make sure no one was following, then lowered her voice and said, "If you put a sack on Zhou Sicheng and beat him up every three to five days, maybe ten or eight times, then I'll be fine."
Gu Qichuan chuckled. At this moment, Shen Qingli finally had some of her former self.
Although Shen Qingli is weak, she never wants to suffer losses.
She even justified the method of putting the person in the sack.
"Okay, then it's settled. First, give Zhou Sicheng ten beatings. That brat has a mouth full of shit. I'm going to beat him till his teeth are all gone." Gu Qichuan waved his fist.
Shen Qingli smiled brightly.
Zhou Yubai felt inexplicably bitter in his heart, and he was also ready to beat Zhou Sicheng. It was his job to vent his wife's anger, but his wife asked Gu Qichuan to do it.
She was more... casual towards Gu Qichuan and more relaxed in front of him.
"I'm not well yet, so I can't cook. You go and do your work first. When I feel better, I'll let Yu Bai tell you. You can come home for dinner then." Shen Qingli said.
Gu Qichuan paused slowly and said, "Okay."
Zhou Yubai nodded and pushed Shen Qingli to quicken his pace.
Gu Qichuan watched the two of them slowly walk away, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart. He would say that he was Shen Qingli's brother... an identity he had never acknowledged before.
He just wants to be her man!
Now, love has turned into family affection, which is a bit sad to say.
"Gu Zhiqing, are you still going to collect firewood?" Cui Zhiqing shouted to Gu Qichuan from a distance.
"Let's go." Gu Qichuan responded, and followed the others to the foot of the mountain again...
