The old village chief glanced at the woman who was tightly hugging his arm.
He patted her hand and said gently.
“Your aunt was on my way to Youzhou City when I encountered some ruffians bullying her. Your father rescued her, and seeing how pitiful the orphan and widow were, I brought her back.”
Han Shunde was furious! "Hmph! How pathetic! It's probably a trick they used to frame you!"
The real danger is that she has connections. If they take over your base and then usurp your place, you'll be the one who suffers!
"Father, how could you bring outsiders into the Valley of Forgetfulness?"
How much do you know about her?
Maybe she's in cahoots with that bunch of scoundrels, putting on an act just to fool you!
"You brat, how dare you speak to your aunt like that?"
After hearing Han Shunde's words, the old village chief angrily rebuked him, his beard bristling and eyes wide.
Han Shunde sighed inwardly as he watched the old village chief defend the woman.
That's enough!
If this woman and the people behind her are after the Valley of Forgetfulness, then my father and the others will have an even harder time in the future!
It's okay to be sad; it's the path he chose!
He glanced at the woman with disgust and asked.
"Dad, where is my brother? Is my brother's family living separately?"
Why? Did the family split up and separate them?
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a boy, about ten years old, rushed in.
"Mother, Mother, I'm hungry, what should I eat?"
The boy stood in the middle of the main room and glanced at Han Shunde and the others.
He cast a disdainful glance at the three of them and said something under his breath.
"Mother, Father, are these really relatives who came to our house to freeload?"
He overheard some women gossiping as he walked home.
He rushed home to check on things; he certainly didn't want to give away any of his family's food.
Otherwise I'll go hungry again, and the feeling of being hungry is really unpleasant!
"Father? Who are you calling father? Who is your father? And who are you?"
Han Shunde was furious!
"Orphan and widow," is that the "child" in the phrase?
His own father, at such an advanced age, inexplicably brought home a woman, and a teenage boy called him "Dad."
"Waaah, I'm scared, who are you?"
Why the hell are you cursing at me?
Mother, they've come to steal our grain, and our pheasants and rabbits!
Are we going to go hungry again?
"Father, Father, you promised me, all the food and everything else in the house is mine!"
He tugged at the old village chief's sleeve, jumping up and down while shouting and cursing.
Han Zhaoxiong stood up and kicked the boy in the ankle.
With a "thump," he knelt down on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a teacup flew over and hit Han Zhaoxiong on the head.
Instantly, a gash appeared on his forehead, and blood flowed freely.
Han Shunde and his two companions stood there, staring in astonishment at the old village chief, whose hand was still raised in the posture of throwing something.
With a loud "Awooo!"
Aunt Huaihua was unwilling and charged over like an angry lion.
Oh, and he punched the old village chief hard in the chest.
"You old bastard, open your eyes and see who you just hit!
This is our grandson, our beloved grandson!
You broke his forehead and it's bleeding, you old bastard, have you no conscience?!
Ever since that vixen arrived, there has been no peace in the house!
You encouraged the second son to steal pigs and cattle from the village in the dead of night, telling him to move them to the mountains and hide them.
As a result, the cow and the pig rushed out and broke the second son's leg.
Despite his injured leg, you forcibly kicked his entire family out!
It was all this vixen's doing, instigating you, wasn't it?
You've bewitched a woman who could be your child; I think she's a vixen!
"So infatuated you're dizzy and confused that you beat your grandson without even asking what happened."
"Smack!"
Before Aunt Huaihua could finish speaking, the old village chief slapped her hard across the face.
Aunt Huaihua fell to the ground, covering her face in shock as she stared in disbelief at the man she had lived with for decades.
The woman was clinging to the old village chief's arm, twisting her body and stirring up trouble.
"Sister, I'm not trying to be mean, but the master is a man of status. How could you embarrass him like this?"
Han Zhaoxiong and Gu Yushi rushed over and helped Aunt Huaihua up.
Seeing that his grandmother's lip was cut and bleeding, Han Zhaoxiong felt sorry for her and used his sleeve to wipe it clean for her.
He turned around and grabbed the boy from behind the old village chief.
He kicked the woman who was standing to the side watching the commotion hard.
His movements were so fast that the woman and her child fell to the ground together without warning.
Immediately, a duet filled the room.
"Waaah, sir, I don't want to live anymore!"
"Father, beat him up! This beggar who came to our door asking for food, how dare he hit me!"
Just as Han Zhaoxiong raised his foot to kick again...
The old village chief roared, "Get out of my house, all of you!"
The old village chief looked at Han Shunde, whose eyes were blazing with anger and whose fists were clenched tightly.
"What? You want to hit your father too?"
"Get out of my house with your mother!"
Aunt Huaihua burst into tears.
Han Zhaoxiong went over and put his arm around Aunt Huaihua's shoulder to comfort her.
"Grandma, don't cry, let's go!"
Huaihua wiped away her tears, stood up, and looked at the old village chief with a calm expression.
"You mean you want to kick me and my children and grandchildren out, and you live with this vixen and her cub, right?"
The old village chief, his neck stiff, said, "That's right, all of you get out of here! You can't stand to see me have a couple of good days, can you?"
Aunt Huaihua raised her hand, tidied her messy hair, patted her clothes, and looked up to speak.
"Fine, so you mean you want to divorce me?"
That's impossible! I bore your children, raised your grandchildren, and served your parents. You have no right to divorce me!
So let's write a letter of divorce.
Han Zhaoxiong quickly said, "Grandma, why write a divorce agreement? Grandpa was wrong, he wronged you! Write a letter of reconciliation!"
Now that you don't want him anymore, you're taking us and starting a new life together!
Upon hearing this, the old village chief grabbed a bowl and was about to smash it at Han Zhaoxiong again.
Han Shunde slapped his wrist, and the porcelain bowl crashed to the ground and shattered.
The old village chief was trembling with anger as he pointed at them.
"Rebellion! Rebellion! You've all gone too far!"
"Did you all learn all this from that awful old woman, Li Lanzhen?!"
Gu Yushi ran in with a pen, ink, and a piece of paper, and said to Han Shunde.
"Uncle, I've borrowed paper and pen."
Han Zhaoxiong looked at her in surprise. This little girl was quite clever; he didn't even know when she had run away.
It seems he's been through a lot of hardship lately, otherwise he wouldn't have been so proactive in looking for paper and pen.
Han Shunde took it and placed it on the table. Picking up the pen was easy, but writing it felt incredibly heavy!
One is his own father, and the other is his own mother!
But now, her own father, who has been her role model since childhood, is actually going to divorce her own mother for a woman of unknown origin!
He sighed inwardly, made up his mind, picked up his pen, and wrote it down quickly!
