Chapter 48: Don’t Give Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Miao, who was standing behind Yang Dashan, couldn’t bear it anymore. “It wasn’t her idea to split the family. It was mine!”

Li Miao couldn’t take it anymore when she was being criticized so badly. She decided to be honest in front of everyone.

“I won’t talk about how much work Dashan and I have to do every day. Everyone in the village can see it for themselves.

…

“If you really don’t want us to move out, it’s fine. Give me the ten silver that Dashan and I have earned for our family all these years. I want to go to town, no, to the county to find a doctor! If you hadn’t given Dashan and me the copper coins, why would we have wanted to split with you? It’s all because you’ve forced us into a corner!”

“I’m forcing you? You can’t even bear children! Why do you think I’m forcing you? Why should I give you money? If you run off with someone else with the silver, what would happen to Dashan?!”

Dashan’s mother looked at Li Miao with spite. “How dare you still ask for money? Where is your shame?”

“Mother!” Yang Dashan’s tone was sorrowful. He was so angry that he had to calm himself down before speaking.

“Li Miao is my wife. If you step on her, you step on me. I know how much money we have. Although ten silver is a bit much, it’s not that you can’t afford it.

“I know that my brother’s outside is kept by the first branch. Every time he works, you will subsidize him a little. Look at my wife, the clothes she is wearing now are the same as when she married me. They’re all covered in patches now.

“You’re biased. We’ll do as my wife says. Either you give me ten silver and let me bring my wife to find a doctor, or I’ll leave. We’ll even split up and find a doctor with our own abilities!”

“If you want to split the family, then don’t even think about taking a single silver from me! You two have been eating at home for so many years, and I haven’t even settled the bill with you yet!”

“After you move out, don’t even think about coming back for help. As long as I’m alive, don’t even think about it. Even if you two die in the future, no one will be there for you!”

His mother’s eyes were like daggers as she glared at the two of them.

Yesterday, when the chief came to the door, he actually wanted her to give a share of the house, money, and land to Yang Dashan.

How was it possible to give out money too?

“Mother, you’re forcing us to our deaths instead!”

Yang Dashan’s eyes were red.

Originally, he had felt guilty about moving out of the family, but now, it felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole in the middle of winter.

“We’re leaving!” Li Miao wiped her tears with her sleeve and supported Yang Dashan, who couldn’t stand straight, “We don’t want the silver and the house. We will leave it to your beloved eldest son. But there is so much land in the family. You have to give us a few acres. You can’t let us starve to death.”

Dashan’s mom snorted coldly. “If you two listened well to Zhao Zhan’s lies, why don’t you learn how to hunt from him?!”

“Actually, our village chief has always been fair. Now that Dashan and Li Miao have taken a step back, I advise you not to push them too hard. Your family has so much land, it’s not too much to give Dashan two acres of land. If you don’t agree to this, then we’ll have to let Lizheng come over to judge everything else.”

Zhao Zhan’s tone was neither happy nor angry. He looked at the lady with a serious expression, “Even if everyone says that they don’t want to separate when their parents are around, there is no law that states that children can’t ask for a separation if their parents are unkind!”

She trembled in anger. “You’re the one whose parents died! Who gave you the right to say such a thing?!”

“In the future, it’s best if we never cross paths ever again. If you make up stories about my parents and my wife again, I’ll definitely have a good chat with your eldest son the next time I see him.”
