Chapter 12

Liu Tong looked at the Xu family coldly. To him, there was really nothing to be missed in the room. His own family would leave with him, and this family had nothing to do with them from now on.

Liu Tong supported Xu Ran and walked towards the door. The two children followed behind their dad and daddy obediently without saying a word.

The Xu Family kept eyes on Liu Tong for fear that he would take the things away from their family.

Liu Tong had never put anything important at home. He knew that everything in this house would be found out. He was not that stupid.

The Xu Family didn’t see them off empty-handed, but each of them had a hoe in their hands.

At the time they opened the door, they saw a group of people waiting outside to watch a good show. After all, Tangtang and Guoguo had gone to the village head’s home crying and many people had seen them on the way.

It was the slack season for farming, and people in the countryside like to gather together to chitchat about some gossips around them. They had stood there for some time and seen the village head leave with a cold face. Thus they felt that something must have happened to the Xu Family.

Elder Daddy Xu stood at the door looking at the people outside, cursing, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen any family separation?”

Then he pushed Liu Tong and the two kids out and shut the door right away, as if Liu Tong and the others had some kind of virus.

This was the family separation!

From Xu Ran’s miserable appearance, the villagers outside felt that the family didn’t seem to be spliting up. Instead, it was like a collective bullying of a fool and even driving him out of the house.

Liu Tong turned his head to look at the tightly shut door. He had been working hard for seven years here and he had got a foolish husband and two lovely children. Actually, he felt content about it. At least they were still together.

Just as Liu Tong was about to leave, he was stopped by Xu Ran. Liu Tong turned to Xu Ran, confused, “Ran, what’s up?”

Xu Ran moved close to Liu Tong’s ear and muttered a few words. Then he began to frown and groan in pain.

Xu Ran didn’t want to let the family go so easily. He wanted as many villagers to know how he got out of the Xu Family today, how terrible the Xu Family had treated him, and how he would retaliate against the Xu Family in the future.

Not to mention that they might become rich in the future. At that time, Xu Ran would not give them any opportunities if such vicious relatives still wanted to take advantage of them in the name of a family. He would let them remember that they were caught in a trap of their own making.

Liu Tong calmly faced all this. He supported Xu Ran, took the two children and walked a few steps out of the door, ignoring the people around him. He suddenly knelt down and Xu Ran also followed. Although the two children didn’t know what happened, they all got down on their knees when they saw their dad and daddy were on their knees.

Then, Liu Tong began to cry loudly, “Dad and daddy, after the separation, we can’t do our filial duty in front of you. Here, Liu Tong thanks you two for raising Ran. But please rest assured, although Ran is a fool, I will go on living with him. Besides, I will take good care of our two children. Although dad and daddy gave us nothing, and I don’t know where to live with Ran and the children in the future, I won’t blame you two. I know about your situation. I know both of you love our younger brother and his two children. I understand all these. ”

Finally, Liu Tong referred to Xu Cheng, “Second brother and his spouse, from now on, you’ll have to take care of both dad and daddy. You can’t make them lack of food or clothing. Both dad and daddy are old now and they are not as strong as they used to be, so you should not let them go to work in the fields. You should often take them to see the doctor, and occasionally buy some tonic for them. You should take care of the food at home, especially in eating meat. You’d better have a meal of meat in two days… ”

Liu Tong was a tall man. His cry was unbearable to witness. However he expressed himself so sincerely that people around the scene were moved and felt that the Xu Family had really gone too far.

Xu Ran didn’t expect that Liu Tong would say such words. He had always thought that this man was easy to bully, but now it seemed that this was not the case. ‘As the saying goes, a beast at bay will put up a desperate fight.’ It was really true.

Xu Ran kept moaning in pain, while Liu Tong lowered his head and sobbed. The two children also began to cry behind them. The whole family looked extremely pitiable.

People who were watching the show also began to discuss heatedly. They commented that the Xu Family were nominally dividing up family property and living apart, but actually nothing had been distributed. As a result, Xu Ran, Liu Tong and their children didn’t even have a resting place. They had in fact been driven out of the house.

The reputation of Xu Houcai and his spouse as well as Xu Cheng in the village was not good at the very beginning. And now, they drove the fool and his family out again. People in the village looked down on Xu Houcai and his family more and more.

After kneeling at the door for quite a while, Liu Tong supported Xu Ran to stand up. Liu Tong turned to look around. He was at a loss for he really didn’t know where they could go now.

The discussion around them grew louder and louder, but Liu Tong and Xu Ran paid no attetion to them. At the moment, the door of the Xu Family was still tightly shut, so the family members inside naturally didn’t know what was going on outside. They were secretly celebrating in the room that they had finally drove away four useless mouths.
