C13 Finally It Was Time to Split Up! (1/2)
Lei Daqiang immediately said: ”Boss, I don't agree. Why don't you think about it, kid? If I really give you up, where do you live? In the woods? Alright, let's not bring up this matter anymore. ”
With that, he got up to leave.
Lei Tia looked straight into his eyes, and said indifferently: ”Ten years ago, I left; ten years later, it's not like I can't walk once more.”
Lei Daqiang's face greatly changed, and the hand hanging by his side slightly trembled, ”You!”
”Boss!” Madam Du was furious, ”Did you not put your father in your eyes in the end? This is unfilial! ”
Lei Tia looked at her, ”I am unfilial. In the past, no matter how much you beat me up and scold me, I did not retaliate; I am unfilial.
He once again looked at Lei Daqiang, and asked calmly, ”Long ago, I wanted to ask, am I your son?”
Even the outsider Qin Mian felt his heart ache and sympathized with Lei Tia.
Lei Daqiang opened his mouth, but was unable to say anything, and did not dare look Lei Tia in the eye.
Lei Chuntao's eyes reddened, and she could not help but cry, ”Father! Mother! Just agree! Brother doesn't owe us anything! ”
Madam Du was furious, ”Shut up! Something with an elbow out! ”
Lei Xiangzhi silently sighed, and said with a gentle voice, ”Father, let Big Brother split up. Even though they are separated, they are still a family. ” Speaking of which, Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee, and Lei Xiangzhi's relationship with Lei Tia was not too bad. Lei Xiangren was the one who rejected Lei Tia the most. When he was very young, the attitude that the Madam Du had towards him and Lei Tia was completely different. The attitude the Madam Du had towards Lei Tia had to a certain extent influenced him, so he did not like Lei Tia in the slightest. From this point of view, he agreed that Lei Tia should split it up. As for Lei Xiangzhi being only five years old back then, what could he possibly understand? After receiving an education, he understood the principle of brotherly respect. Although his relationship with Lei Tia could not be considered thick Qin, he did not want to bully or humiliate him.
”Fifth brother?” Madam Du looked at Lei Xiangzhi in disbelief, but couldn't say a single harsh word to him.
Lei Daqiang fell powerlessly onto the chair, ”Forget it, if you want to divide it, I want you to divide it up.”
”Old man!” Madam Du glared at him fiercely.
Lei Daqiang ignored her.
Lei Daqiang made up his mind. There was nothing Madam Du could do, so he could only say: ”If you want to separate them, that is fine. But there is nothing in the house that you can share. ”
Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao both frowned.
Lei Tia only looked at Lei Daqiang.
Lei Daqiang sighed, and said: ”Boss, you should know about the family situation as well. There is really nothing extra to share with you in the house. ”” No, no! ”If you are in a hurry to move out, your brothers and I will help you build a thatched cottage. Tian, there are only a few, after Lao Si and Fifth Brother get married, we will have to add more people, so we can only give you an acre of paddy fields and an acre of dry land. As for money …
Mrs Zhao, Madam Qian, Lei Xiangren and Lei Xiangyi all pricked up their ears.
The Madam Du interrupted Lei Daqiang and asked emotionlessly: ”Old man, are you confused? There's no money in the house. ”
Lei Daqiang said: ”You gave me twenty taels of silver previously, I spent some of it during this time, so I have ten left, I will give you two taels.”
Qin Mian sneered in his heart. When Madame Zhao bought the fish in the morning, the Madam Du asked her how much it was. The fish weighed about two catties, which was to say, it was worth about five cents a catty. Thus, he deduced that twenty silver was not a small amount. He and Lei Tia did not treat anyone when they were married and nothing major had happened to his Lei Family in the past month. Where did the ten silver taels go? He refused to believe that Lei Family did not have any savings at all.
Even at this time, Lei Daqiang was still scheming against his son. In front of such a large crowd, it was not easy for Qin Mian to pat Lei Tia's shoulders. He stealthily patted on's leg under the table to express his consolation.
Lei Tia's expression was normal, his emotions could not be discerned.
Lei Daqiang wiped his face, as if he wanted to wipe the shame on his face, ”As for the tools at home, there aren't any extra things … Two pigs, I was planning to kill one on New Year's Eve. I'll give you guys some later. What do you think? ”
Lei Tia asked: Where's the house?
”This …” Lei Daqiang mumbled, ”I don't have any extra land at home, and I really don't have spare money to buy land for you guys …”
Madam Du laughed and said slowly: ”Boss, back then you paid me twenty silvers as soon as I saw you. I don't believe that you didn't leave any for yourself.”
Could it be that she was wrong to return the twenty taels of silver to her father? Lei Chuntao lowered her head in shame, almost burrowing under the table.
Lei Xiangzhi's face was also hot. He frowned as he looked at Madam Du, ”Mother, please speak less.”
Lei Tia stood up, ”I'll go ask Precinct Head.”
Lei Xiangzhi immediately said: ”Big Brother, I'll go.”
Lei Tia nodded, ”Thank you.”
When Lei Xiangzhi went to invite the Precinct Head, no one in the house said a word. The three children had long since been rushed into the room to play. The silence was like a dark cloud that was pressing down on everyone's heads. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.
Amongst everyone present, only Lei Tia and Qin Mian were calm. Lei Tia was unmoving like a pine tree. His eyes were calm and emotionless, and it was impossible to guess what she was feeling. Qin Mian, on the other hand, restrained his excitement and happiness.
Lei Xiangzhi quickly brought Precinct Head in.
On the other hand, Precinct Head was wearing a grey long robe. On the outside, he was wearing a thin black jacket that was embroidered with golden threads with the word ”Blessed” on it. He was in his early fifties, hale and hearty, with shrewd eyes.
Lei Daqiang and the rest all stood up to welcome him.
”Precinct Head, thank you for coming over.” Lei Daqiang said apologetically.
