FSC [QT] Chapter 202.3

“Third Brother, your words hurt Mom’s heart too much. It was you who wanted to separate the family at the beginning, and Mom was always unwilling.”

Xie Xiuzhu spoke softly on the side.

“Yes, it was I who proposed the separation. But why? It was because Mom refused to let Ah Wu see a doctor and asked me to divorce your sister-in-law.”

Xie Changzheng sneered.

“I have been recuperating in the village for more than a month. During this period, I haven’t seen my parents come to see me. My elder brother and second brother didn’t bring me even one egg to replenish my body. Not to mention you, my younger sister, you climbed over my wall while I was not at home. I don’t know what you are planning to do. Now that you see the benefits, you think of me as your son/brother again.”

“You always tell me to be filial to my parents, but have you forgotten how much I have been filial to you all before, and how much is still in my mother’s hands?”

“Do you really need a drink of malted milk? But what about me? I only got so much food when the family was separated, so my family of three lived frugally. Now these comfort items have been sent to me, which are for my health, and you still want me to give half of them to you!”

“Just think of me as an unfilial person. I will not give you a penny less than what I should give you. But these things are for me, Xie Changzheng, to cherish my life and to have a glimmer of hope that I can recover from my leg injury and return to the army to continue to perform my duties as a soldier. Mom, please don’t force me. I really can’t give you these things.”

Xie Changzheng seemed to be heartbroken. He was a man of steel who never cried, even when his leg was injured by a bomb on the battlefield. Now he was sobbing and wailing loudly, hugging his wife and child.

Miao Fengmei, the mother who originally stood on the moral high ground, was criticized by thousands of people at this moment. She was trembling with anger.

She just wanted some supplements. Xie Changzheng had already gotten so many things, so what if he shared some with her, his biological mother?

Why did these fence-sitters around her say that about her just because of Xie Changzheng’s story?

“Miao Fengmei, hurry back here. If you make trouble with the third son again, I will divorce you. You should go back with your precious daughter.”

Xie Zhuzi ran over in a hurry, pointed at Miao Fengmei, and spoke sternly.

“Xie Zhuzi, what did you say!”

Miao Fengmei jumped up in anger.

This old man was getting more and more outrageous. He had previously forced her to separate the family property, and now he dared to threaten her with divorce.

Did he forget that the reason why their Xie family was able to gain a foothold here was because of the Miao family?

“Xiuzhu was corrupted by you. Look at the reputation of your precious daughter. You still expect her to repay you as her mother after she becomes successful? You don’t even think about whether your precious daughter will be ruined in your hands if you continue like this. In my opinion, Daya, Erya, and Sanya are all better than your daughter.”

Xie Zhuzi had been feeling aggrieved for so many years, and finally, he steeled himself.

He said, “Stop embarrassing yourself here, and come home with me.”

As he said, he grabbed Miao Fengmei’s arm and prepared to drag her back.

Miao Fengmei has a hot-tempered personality, but she is still a conservative woman at heart. If Xie Zhuzi really divorces her, Miao Fengmei can’t stand the gossip outside.

So, she just glared at Xie Zhuzi while bluffing and then staggered away with him.

“Old Third, hey—”

Xie Zhuzi squeezed through the crowd and suddenly turned his head, as if he wanted to say something to Xie Changzheng, but when he met his son’s indifferent eyes, he suddenly couldn’t speak. He just sighed, then turned his head, and left.

He understood that after this incident, this son had completely alienated himself from them.

It was all the fault of this unlucky Miao Fengmei and also the fault of him, a father who had been a mute for more than ten years. Such a good son was finally pushed away by them in the end.

With both parents gone, what could Xie Xiuzhu, a 13-year-old sister, do to Xie Changzheng?

She was secretly annoyed, thinking that Xie Wu’s family had gotten the upper hand again. She covered her face and left with a belly full of anger.

***

“Miao Fengmei always says that her daughter is very lucky. So many things have happened recently. Why do I always feel something is wrong?”

After the Xie family left, the villagers who had nothing to watch left in twos and threes. Some of the people who were on good terms with each other gathered together to do some work and talk about the latest hot topic of gossip: the Xie family.

“That’s right. If Xie Xiuzhu were a person with great fortune, would Xie Changzheng, the most promising of the Xie family, be able to separate from them? Would she be discovered by Xie Wu when she climbed over the wall to Xie Changzheng’s house and then beaten up? Why do I feel that the Xie family’s old house has been shrouded in bad luck recently, and it doesn’t look like it has good fortune at all?”
