Chapter 59 Severance
The patriarch is tutoring his son in his homework at home.
The brat took an hour to write and didn't even finish a line.
The clan leader almost broke three canes and was so angry that he almost lost his head.
Seeing Mr. Zhou and his son coming, the patriarch slapped his son on the head angrily.
"Go away and write. If you don't finish it, I won't feed you for three days!"
The patriarch's son ran away angrily holding a pen and paper.
"Bingde is here."
The old Zhou family has been in trouble several times, and now the patriarch gets a headache reflexively when he sees Mr. Zhou.
In the past, Mr. Zhou would avoid seeing the clan leader's eyes.
This time, Mr. Zhou straightened his back and said with a cheerful smile: "I have something to do, patriarch."
Zhou Huaihai mentioned the matter of severing relations.
The clan leader was stunned.
"Sever ties?"
For generations of ancestors in Qingyang Village, no family has ever wanted to completely sever ties.
If the quarrel gets too big, it’s time to separate the family.
Seeing the shocked look on the clan leader's face, Zhou Huaihai smiled and said: "We and the second and third sons have already made such a fuss. It doesn't make much difference if we break it off. However, we'd better break it off so as not to suffer the consequences in the future when the second brother has a promising future in the exams." We're in trouble."
Zhou Huaihai's words were obviously an excuse.
The clan leader could hear it.
But looking at Zhou Bingde's appearance, he seemed to be extremely willing.
Doesn’t Zhou Bingde value a neat family the most?
Before they separated, he was so upset that he started to lose his hair and his hairline receded significantly. Now he wants to break off the relationship.
After all, it was someone else's family matter. Although the patriarch was puzzled, he didn't bother to care.
"In this case, we have to call the second and third sons over."
Zhou Huaihai smiled apologetically and said, "As you know, we are having a quarrel now."
The patriarch glanced at Zhou Huaihai, turned around and shouted to his grandson, "Runzi, go ask your Uncle Huaishan and Uncle Huailin to come over."
Runzi was crossing the courtyard with a big fork on his back, and left at the sound of the call.
The first session of the county examination for children will begin the day after tomorrow.
In order to put Zhou Huaishan in a good state to prepare for the exam, Shen Li took Zhou Huaishan to the county seat after lunch today.
Zhou Qing did not go with him because of the inconvenience of accommodation.
If they found out about Runzi, the uncle and nephew went all the way to the patriarch's house under suspicion.
The patriarch’s house.
Zhou Huailin looked at Mr. Zhou and Zhou Huaihai dumbfounded, "Sever the relationship?"
Mr. Zhou said nothing.
Zhou Huaihai said: "You don't even recognize your father, mother, and I, and you can do things like pressing fingerprints. From now on, you eat your big fish and meat, and my father and mother follow me to eat bran-thick vegetables. The ancestors of the old Zhou family Zong, it has nothing to do with you anymore.”
Zhou Huaihai opened his mouth and knocked him down.
Zhou Huailin made his chest hurt with anger.
"Why did you have your fingerprints pressed that day, and why do you have the nerve to mention it?"
Zhou Huaihai had a benevolent and moral look on his face and snorted coldly, "This is the patriarch's house, why are you bringing up these messy things!"
Zhou Huailin.
"What did you bring it up for? Didn't you bring it up?"
Zhou Huailin and Zhou Huaihai were talking, while Zhou Qing stood on one side and looked at Zhou Huaihai silently.
In the past, Zhou Huaihai's eyes would sparkle with anger when he saw them, but now his eyes actually shone with joy.
Um.
There is a situation.
"My father is not here. Let me say a word for my father. It's okay to sever the relationship. The pig raised at home belongs to us."
patriarch
ah?
Qingyatou, do you compare a pig with such a big thing?
Why!
It’s a child after all!
With a sigh in his heart, the clan leader suddenly reacted. When he looked at Zhou Qing, his eyes became more appreciative.
Turning to look at Zhou Huaihai and Mr. Zhou.
Obviously, neither of them expected Zhou Qing to ask for a pig.
When Mr. Zhou was about to speak, Zhou Huaihai pulled him and sneered at Zhou Qing: "Okay, here you go."
There was deep contempt in that sneer.
As long as we can get rid of the two lumps of mud quickly, let alone one pig, ten of them will do.
Zhou Huaihai agreed so happily that Zhou Qing added: "In addition, I want to ask clearly that by severing relations, we are breaking away from our ancestors or you are breaking away from our ancestors."
"Of course it's you!"
"Okay, then I will give Third Uncle and I twenty taels of silver each as spiritual compensation!"
Zhou Huailin.
The corners of his eyes twitched and he looked towards Zhou Qing.
Qingyatou, what are you talking about?
The patriarch touched his beard, smart boy.
Mr. Zhou's face suddenly turned dark, "Are you crazy? Why don't you go and grab it!"
Zhou Qing crossed his arms and said with a smile: "I'm just robbing, twenty taels per person, plus the pigs at home and the chickens in the main house of your big house. If they are given to us, they will be cut off. If not, I won't sign. Anyway, I want to I’m not the one who broke it.”
Zhou Qing said, paused, and looked at Mr. Zhou faintly.
"Or if you break away from your ancestors, we will compensate you in turn!"
Mr. Zhou had a dark face and raised his hand to slap Zhou Qing.
The clan leader had quick eyes and quick hands and hurriedly stopped him.
"Qing Yatou's request is not too much. After all, they have lost their roots and ancestors from now on. You should make some compensation."
Zhou Huaihai pulled Mr. Zhou and winked at him.
Now I have one thousand taels of silver at home.
They will move to the county seat soon.
What's the use of these pigs and chickens!
give him!
Just don't rely on them like a dog-skin plaster.
"Sure! I'll give it all to you as you said, but I'm going to be the first to say something ugly. From now on, you guys have nothing to do with the old Zhou family!"
Zhou Qing crossed his arms and nodded, "Okay."
As he spoke, he stretched out his palms upward, "Pig and chicken, I'll hug them after I sign them. Now I'll give them the money. After I give them the money, I'll sign."
"You are obsessed with money!" Mr. Zhou said angrily.
Zhou Qing hummed, "Yes."
Mr. Zhou.
Zhou Huaihai said: "Who can carry so much money with them when they go out and wait until they sign something?"
"No, you go back and get it. Anyway, I won't sign until you see the money." Zhou Qing's attitude was firm, with a non-negotiable look on his face.
As she said that, she suddenly smiled.
"My father has gone to take the exam. Otherwise, uncle can wait until my father comes back."
Zhou Huaihai was afraid that Zhou Qing and Zhou Huailin would suddenly change their minds, so there was no way to wait.
Pointing his index finger at Zhou Qing, "Wait!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked home.
Seeing Zhou Huaihai eager to leave, the clan leader shook his head inwardly.
When Zhou Huaihai withdraws the money, Mr. Zhou and the clan leader draw up a document to sever ties.
When Zhou Huaihai got the money, he handed over the money with one hand and pressed his fingerprints with the other.
After signing the paperwork, the group of people took leave from the clan leader's house.
Until he left the patriarch's house, Zhou Huailin's head was numb, buzzing and unable to turn around.
That's it
Severed ties?
This is just like a joke.
Zhou Qing and Zhou Huailin went to Lao Zhou's house to pick up pigs and chickens. Zhou Huailin originally thought that they would face the Sun family and make a big fuss.
As a result, from beginning to end, Sun and Wang did not show their faces.
Holding the big fat pig in hand, Zhou Huailin looked suspicious of life.
"Qing girl, tell me, why didn't your grandma and your aunt come out to cause trouble?"
Zhou Qing drove the chickens and said with a smile: "Third uncle, we have broken off the relationship. Where can I get the milk and the eldest uncle?"
Zhou Huailin felt a dull pain in his heart.
It was true that he felt chilled when the principal and eldest husband bullied them before, but at this moment, the discomfort he felt in his heart was also true.
From then on, he, Zhou Huailin, had no father, no mother, no ancestors.
Could it be that what he did before was really too much?
Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Huailin who looked a little lonely and sighed.
"Third uncle, it must be that my eldest brother has had some good opportunity. They are afraid that we will take advantage of it, so they can't wait to cut off the relationship."
Zhou Huailin was startled and turned to look at Zhou Qing.
"opportunity?"
