"So you're going to break off your relationship with him when he's seriously injured and can't move?"
Xiao Ping nodded in embarrassment, "There's nothing we can do about it."
"Where's his money for medicine?"
this……
"There is no money at home. Even if you sell us, you still can't pay back the money he owes!" Yang and Xiao Ping are both money-grubbers who only take in money but never spend it out.
"You guys don't plan to contribute a single cent?"
The village chief felt that he had really opened his eyes today. No wonder Zhao Dashu said that the relationship must be severed. Shamelessly greedy, the Zhao family can't compare to them.
"In the future, we won't need him to take care of us in our old age. What he has given us before is just a token of his filial piety."
"He's already like this, and you still want him to take care of you in your old age?"
"Isn't it my duty to be filial to my father?"
The village chief was speechless. This person is so shameless.
Xiao Lei lowered his eyes to hide the mockery in them.
"Are you sure you want to break up with him? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the villagers?"
"We just want to stay alive."
That's right, he agreed. Xiao Lei feigned illness just to live a simple life.
"Xiao Lei, what do you say?"
Xiao Ping and Yang looked at him nervously. Now he was the weak one and the one that everyone sympathized with. If he doesn't agree, this matter will be difficult to accomplish.
"I'll listen to my father. This is my last act of filial piety. From now on, no matter if I die or not, I will never drag them down."
Xiao Ping smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he still had some filial piety. Yang was also satisfied. No, he was sensible. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want someone to die in her family and bring bad luck, she wouldn't have done such a thing.
"Since you are all willing, I won't say anything more. Xiao Ping, go find the clan leader."
"I'll go right away, right away."
Everyone saw his excitement and anxiety. I am even more disdainful of him.
With such relatives, Xiao Lei doesn't want to be any more lonely and quiet. It will be difficult for Xiao Ping to get extravagant things from now on.
The clan leader came very quickly, not because he was anxious, but because Xiao Ping was too anxious. He was afraid that if Xiao Lei couldn't hold on, he would have to help collect his body. Or maybe Xiao Lei changed his mind and refused to break off the engagement. Not only would he have to serve him, but he would also have to pay for his medicine. How could he not be anxious?
"Xiao Lei, are you really willing to break off relations with your father?"
Breaking off an engagement is a serious matter, the clan leader must ask for clarification. Alas, this Xiao Ping is really cruel. His own son is injured like this, and not only does he not come to take care of him for a day, he also wants to sever ties with him.
If Xiao Lei didn't want to, he would never write this document.
Xiao Lei's voice was weak and intermittent, "I... Clan leader... I want to listen to... my father."
Well, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. What else does he say?
"Since you have already discussed it, I will not persuade you any more."
Thank you for your help, Chief.
When he came, he brought paper and pen with him, and started writing documents at the broken wooden table in Xiao Lei's house.
Xiao Ping and Yang looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.
It’s done!
In fact, Xiao Ping had this idea when Xiao Lei went down the mountain that day. For the sake of his own reputation, he just wanted to wait until Xiao Lei died. I didn't expect him to be so enduring and never stop breathing.
What could he do? He was helpless and could only be forced to break off the relationship.
The severance document was well written and there was no property dispute.
"Patriarch, please write that it was Xiao Ping who asked to sever the relationship with Xiao Lei, and that Xiao Lei had given him the silver as a token of his filial piety. From now on, the two families will have no connection and will never have any contact with each other again."
Xiao Ping's face turned dark. What did the nosy village chief have to do with him?
"become."
The clan leader was willing to help him, but he really looked down on Xiao Ping. If Xiao Lei passes away in the future, the clan will arrange for someone to dig a grave for him and will definitely not let him become a wandering ghost.
After the letter of severance was written, the clan leader read it once. Xiao Ping had no objection, and Xiao Lei had no objection either, and they put their handprints on each other.
There were four copies in total, one for the two of them, one in the hands of the clan leader, and one for the village chief to take to the government office for filing.
The village chief took the document and said, "I will go to the county town tomorrow to move Xiao Lei's household registration out."
As long as the household registration is not moved, we remain a family.
"Thank you, village chief."
Xiao Ping thanked him politely. He thought the village chief still thought highly of him, which was why he was in such a hurry to arrange the marriage.
After writing the letter of severance, Xiao Ping and Yang left one after another. The clan leader's beard puffed up in anger, "It's not decent, it's really not decent!"
There was no one to take care of Xiao Lei, so the old doctor decided to stay and take care of him for a few more days.
The clan leader and the village chief boasted and thanked him.
"Xiao Lei, if you have any problem in the future, just tell me. If the clan can help, we will definitely help."
Alas, what a poor man!
"Thank you, Patriarch."
The sight of Xiao Lei lying on the bed, dying, was so heartbreaking that it was hard to bear it.
"Come on, Chief, let's go to my house and have a drink today. You don't know how angry I am today."
The patriarch said he could understand because he was just as angry.
Soon, Xiao Lei and the old doctor were the only ones left in the dilapidated house. The doctor closed the door. Xiao Lei sat up with a sharp look in his eyes. The engagement was finally broken off. It was too much!
"Are you satisfied now?" the old doctor said calmly. He worked as a doctor all his life, saving lives all his life, but when he got old, he was coaxed into becoming a liar by a junior.
He is really...
"Uncle Li, thank you."
"Well, never mind. You have to live a simple life from now on, okay?"
"I know."
If he leaves the Xiao family, he will not live badly even if he is not adopted by the family in the future.
"When I get sick, we'll have a drink together." He knew the old doctor liked it best.
"With a pig's head."
"Pork head is not enough, big pork elbow and fat chicken are a must."
"That's nice. I'm drooling just from what you said. When can you do it?"
"Let's wait a little longer. If we act too quickly, it will be like telling the whole village that we are a scammer together."
Old Doctor: ...
This wine is really not worth drinking.
Zhao Dashu has been in a very good mood recently. Ever since the family split up, he has been able to do everything smoothly.
"Girls, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
"Making zongzi. Dad, it's Dragon Boat Festival. I wonder if there are any fresh fruits for sale in the county town recently?"
"Let's go take a look. In three days, your uncle Liu's house will be finished. After drying it for a few days, we can live in it."
