Chapter 195: Split Family? The Huang Family's Stories
Li Rouer was upset by their noise: "Mom, if big brother and the others want to leave, just let them go. Anyway, you will have Jiabao and your good grandson to honor you in the future."
"Rou'er is right. I still have a lovely grandson, but forget about dividing the family. Don't even think about taking anything away from home. Don't you think you can take anything away? I want to see how you can live without my Huang family!" After being comforted by Li Rou'er, Old Lady Huang's anger subsided a lot, and she pointed at the two of them and said sarcastically.
"I agree!" Huang Jiaming nodded. He had no intention of worrying about the things at home, so he went to call the village chief to witness it.
"Old Mrs. Huang, have you thought it through? Jiaming has just returned and it's time for the family to be reunited. Why are you making such a fuss?" The village chief was also annoyed with the Huang family, but Huang Jiaming still had some brains.
"Think it over! If this unfilial son wants to break up, then so be it! With the two of them around, let alone being filial to me, I might be pissed to death in two days. It's best to sever all ties with them. Out of sight, out of mind! Never have any contact with them again!" Old Mrs. Huang looked at her eldest son and his wife with disgust.
"You should always leave some room for maneuver when doing things, otherwise you will regret it later." The village chief reminded kindly.
"Village chief, since my mother said so, let's break it off!" Old Mrs. Huang favored her younger brother since she was a child and never had a good face to him. He never understood why the treatment was so different when he was obviously her biological son. Now that he has grown up and become capable, if he can't even protect his wife and children, how can he face people?
When Old Lady Huang asked him why he didn't die outside, he had already made up his mind to divide the family. Now that his mother actually wants to break off the relationship with him, and she has said it, he might as well fulfill his mother's wish!
"You! Let's break up!" Old Mrs. Huang raised her hand and wanted to slap Huang Jiaming twice, but was blocked by Wang Qinyu. The slap landed on her face. Old Mrs. Huang used all her strength in this slap, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
But she didn't feel any pain, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She was actually very happy because she could finally escape from this den of wolves. Being with her husband, even if she was starving and begging, was better than staying in the home of the old pious woman, Old Lady Huang.
In this family, she worked hard without complaint, received no favors, was beaten every day, and lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. But she had survived all these years, so this last slap was nothing.
"Mrs. Huang! What are you doing! You have been beating and scolding Wang Qinyu for a long time. Even if you beat her to death, you can't get away! Do you want to go to jail?" The village chief couldn't stand it anymore and scolded her, but since it was someone else's business, he couldn't interfere too much. After all, even a judge could hardly judge family affairs.
This old lady Huang doesn't cherish her good son and daughter-in-law. She will suffer in the future. I am too lazy to take care of them. It will be better for the couple to separate them.
Finally, with the village chief as witness, Huang Jiaming, Wang Qinyu and Old Lady Huang severed their relationship, and the two were forced to leave the house with nothing. Old Lady Huang did not even allow them to take a piece of clothing with them.
The people in the village secretly cursed Old Lady Huang behind her back, saying that she was a beast and too ruthless, not leaving any leeway for her own son.
After Huang Jiabao and Wang Qinyu separated, they bought a small courtyard from the village chief. Although it was shabby, Wang Qinyu felt like a normal person and no longer had to live in fear of being beaten. As long as she and her husband were diligent and capable, she didn't believe that they would not live a bad life.
Huang Jiaming took out the money he had saved in the army over the years and gave it all to Wang Qinyu, a total of more than five taels.
This was the first time she received so much silver. Her hands were shaking as if she was dreaming.
“Qinyu, you’ve worked hard these years. You won’t be hungry if I have something to eat in the future.”
"My husband, as long as we are together, no matter how much hardship we endure, it is worth it."
The two lived in a dilapidated yard, with no pots, pans, or anything else. It was the village chief who felt sorry for them and found some usable old things, such as quilts, for the couple to use first, and encouraged them to live a good life.
After Huang Jiabao came back, he heard that his eldest brother was kicked out by his mother and he got very angry.
"Oh my god, how could you separate my brother so easily? He has been away for so many years, he must have some savings!"
Huang Jiabao was right. Over the years, Huang Jiaming had indeed saved up a few taels of silver. This was one of the reasons why he had the confidence to make up his mind to divide the family. Originally, he thought that after he came back, he would be filial to his mother and live a good life with his wife. Even though what his mother said was hurtful, he never thought of breaking off the relationship with her.
"When he came back, I saw that his clothes were in tatters. How could he have any money?" Old Mrs. Huang was furious when she thought of the appearance of her eldest son.
"Mom, it's already divided. There's no use regretting. Regardless of whether the family is divided or not, he will have to come back to honor you during the holidays. I'm going to go see my eldest brother." Huang Jiabao was about to go out when he was stopped by his mother.
"Jiabao, it's not that we're splitting up the family. I'm breaking off the relationship with Huang Jiaming!" Old Mrs. Huang felt a little regretful. She had broken off the relationship in a fit of rage. She had a good son, and even if she didn't like him, at least he was young and strong, and could earn some money for her to spend.
"What! Mom! You are usually a smart person! How come you don't have a smart mind at the critical moment? Ouch!" Huang Jiabao was really angry at his mother's behavior.
But now that things have come to this, there is no use regretting.
When they heard that Huang Jiaming had bought a yard, Old Lady Huang brought Huang Jiabao to his house to make a scene. They smashed the already dilapidated yard to pieces and threatened them to hand over the money, otherwise they would have trouble in the future.
Huang Jiaming's survival on the battlefield over the years was not entirely due to luck, he still had some strength. After Old Lady Huang and the others came to make trouble, he simply threw them out and called the village chief over.
The Huang family is always in a state of annoyance. The village chief is fed up with all the trouble and gets angry whenever he sees Old Mrs. Huang.
If the family is divided, it is a family affair and the village chief has no right to interfere. However, Huang Jiaming has already severed his relationship with Old Lady Huang. If he goes to other people's homes to smash and rob, to put it bluntly, he is a robber and thief. We can report him to the police and arrest him.
In the end, the village chief had no choice but to make another trip and ask Old Mrs. Huang to compensate them with silver, otherwise he would ask the couple to report to the police.
When she heard that the police had to be notified, Mrs. Huang immediately became timid.
I originally wanted to come here to ask for silver, but I didn't expect that in the end I not only didn't get the silver, but also had to pay two hundred coins as compensation.
In fact, these things were not worth 200 coins at all, but the village chief couldn't stand Old Lady Huang's behavior, so he gave them an extra 100 coins.
Huang Jiaming was grateful, knowing that the village chief was thinking about them. After Old Lady Huang left the silver, he thanked the village chief again and kept it in mind.
