"I’ll give you one last chance, are you breaking ties or not?"
"No, I am not!"
Xiao Chendong knew his parents disliked him, but...
So what if they disliked him?
When these two old ones finally kick the bucket, he’ll get his share of the inheritance anyway.
Besides, given that he is the eldest son, there’s a chance his share could be the largest.
He’d have to be crazy to sever family ties now.
This way, there will only be more benefits for him in the future.
Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Fine, since you refuse to sever ties, your father and I will pack up and move to your place tonight."
Xiao Chendong: "?"
The topic shifted so abruptly that he was montarily stunned.
"Huh?"
Mrs. Xiao remained calm, "Isn’t the purpose of raising children to rely on them in old age? I raised you as a child; you take care of when I’m old. Since you refuse to sever ties, it’s your duty to care for us in our old age."
"Yes, it’s my duty to care for you, but moving in now is a bit sudden, isn’t it?"
"Sudden?" Mrs. Xiao responded calmly, "We’ve been old for a long ti and can’t do much work anymore."
Xiao Chendong was sweating, "Mom, don’t joke. My place is small, and I’m already raising two kids there. If you guys move in now, it will just cause chaos."
He rolled his eyes and said, "However, the Wu Family’s place is big. As long as Star marries into the Wu Family, you two old folks can retire with her."
Even at this mont, he wasn’t giving up.
He tried every ans to persuade Mrs. Xiao to marry off Xiao Chenxing.
"Bang~"
Xiao Chenxing grabbed a broom leaning nearby and hit Xiao Chendong accurately, "You marry if you want."
"Hey," Mrs. Xiao had long known what kind of beast Xiao Chendong was. Seeing this did not disappoint her.
She accepted it very calmly, "Since that’s the case, we find you useless, sever ties."
"No, I’m not."
"Do you insist on tearing the family apart?" Mr. Xiao, who had been silent, spoke coldly, holding the prepared severance docunt, "Either sign the severance docunt peacefully, or..."
"Or what?"
Mrs. Xiao chid in, "Then I’ll make a fuss! I’ll go to your workplace and chat with your boss.
I’ll also visit the kids’ kindergarten and talk to their teachers, so everyone knows you’re both beasts."
"You, you all..."
"What about us?" Mrs. Xiao retorted, "Do you also think our plan is good? If we ruin your job, maybe things will quiet down for us."
Xiao Chendong felt a chill in his heart.
He used to not believe what his grandparents said, thinking that no matter what, his parents loved him.
But...
How could parents who truly love their children threaten them?
Even threatening to ruin their job.
Nowadays, having a job in the county ans standing tall.
Xiao Chendong was very hurt, "Mom and Dad, do you really not wish well?"
"Cut the crap," Mrs. Xiao was already tired of this nasty behavior, the gross taste of it was overwhelming.
Just like her shaless mother-in-law.
All the bad deeds were done by her, and all the responsibility was placed on others.
If questioned, it was like the whole world was bullying her.
"I raised you, and I don’t owe you anything. If we sever ties quietly, no one will know. But if you push , I’ll make a scene."
Mrs. Xiao sneered, "Just wait and see who’s unlucky then."
"Why?" Xiao Chendong truly couldn’t understand, everything had been fine for years, why not this ti?
"Because your behavior is disgusting, you could sell your sister today, tomorrow it could be your brother, your parents. You’re a beast, and if you wronged , I’ll accept it. After all, I gave birth to you.
But you should never have targeted your sister!"
Mrs. Xiao choked up, patting her chest, "Xiao Chendong, in life, you have to have a conscience!"
"How am I not conscientious?"
Xiao Chendong stiffened his neck, "Such a good marriage, why don’t you believe it? No matter who Star marries, she’ll have to have kids and live her life anyway.
Marrying into a good family, how is that wrong for her? Yes, that man may be a bit foolish, but what does it matter? As long as there’s money."
Mrs. Xiao looked into his stubborn eyes and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
"Sever the ties."
Mr. Xiao looked at the sad expression on Mrs. Xiao’s face, hardening his heart, "If you refuse to sever ties, don’t bla for making a scene."
Xiao Chendong hesitated, he knew his parents were different.
His mom, although loud, had a soft heart. But his dad...
Once he made a decision, not even ten oxen could pull him back.
"Fine," he hung his head in defeat, bitterly saying, "I’ll sign."
"Sign it."
He wrote his na, the severance docunt made in three copies, one for the Xiao Family, one for Xiao Chendong, and the last one held by the village chief.
"Alright," the village chief looked at Xiao Chendong, a rare promising young man from the village, "Take care in the future."
"I don’t need your fake concern," Xiao Chendong looked at the village chief, full of sarcasm, "Even if I’m down and out, I don’t need your pity."
Then he scoffed, "Besides, with this severed tie, who knows who will regret it?"
Xiao Chenxing hit him right on the head, "Say one more word!"
"I said it, so what?" Xiao Chendong was furious, "And you, what’s there to be proud of? With your poor grades, if I were you, I wouldn’t even dare to go to school."
"Is it any of your business? Get lost!"
Xiao Chenxing, visibly upset, seed ready to channel the Red Army and bite soone.
Wen Ran stood up, hugged Xiao Chenxing’s waist and started calming her down, "Alright, alright, why argue with a dog?
If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back?"
"I’ll bite!" Xiao Chenxing, in her fury, exclaid, "Even if I get a mouthful of fur, I’ll still bite!"
Wen Ran: "..."
Good, that ntality is amazing.
She turned her head, "Why are you still here? Waiting for sothing?"
"You think I want to be here?" Xiao Chendong didn’t hold back anymore. To him, everything was Mr. and Mrs. Xiao’s fault.
It was their failure as parents that caused him to be unfilial.
"Get out!"
Xiao Chendong still had so face, angrily riding off on his bike.
Not forgetting to cast a venomous glance at the Xiao Family before leaving.
Wen Ran frowned, Xiao Chendong didn’t seem like the type to let things go easily, most likely intending to target Xiao Chenxing later.
After all...
Five hundred yuan wasn’t a small sum at that ti.
Moreover, according to Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Chendong was soone who wouldn’t get up early without a profit.
This person, who could take out five hundred yuan and a bicycle to get a wife for his son, probably had other things Xiao Chendong was plotting for.
So, it’s necessary to be extra cautious in the future.
Before she could say anything, a woman ca to the door.
Short and small, with a vegetable basket, even her voice was soft.
"Sister-in-law," she smiled first, "I ca to bring you so eggs."
"Oh dear, Hua, you shouldn’t have brought eggs, you should keep them for yourself."
"Oh no..."
