Chapter 1805: Separate the family, must separate the family

Huang mother's illness broke out, and medical expenses were a huge expenditure for the Huang family.

Su Xuewen didn't hide anymore, and after learning the news, he took the initiative to visit the Huang family and indicated that he would find a way for the medical expenses. The Huang family felt relieved. They were all thinking, fortunately, the big girl (big sister) was capable and found a rich son-in-law (brother-in-law).

No longer need to be like before, begging grandfather and grandmother, borrowing from east to west, suffering all kinds of white eyes and humiliation.

Su Xuewen had no money.

The money saved before was mostly given to the Huang family to help the Huang family pay off debts. The remaining part, these days, was all spent on fragmented expenses.

He could only borrow money from colleagues.

Colleagues knew his family situation and were very generous in lending him money, also urging him not to worry about paying it back.

He got the money and sent it to the Huang family at the first opportunity. Seeing the silver, the Huang family was so excited that Huang father said several good words, just hoping that the two could get married early and become a real family.

When there was no one, Huang Dongxue threw herself into his arms, looking exceptionally excited, her voice trembling, "This money, will be returned."

"No need to return!" Su Xuewen hesitated for a moment, and firmly pushed the other party away.

Huang Dongxue looked puzzled, her eyes suspicious, not understanding why he wanted to push her away.

Su Xuewen avoided the other party's eyes, hesitated for a moment and said, "Regarding the marriage, I think we should consider it again."

"What do you mean?" Huang Dongxue couldn't believe it, "Because mother opposes it? I know mother has misunderstandings about me, we can try to persuade, mother will recognize us sooner or later."

"It doesn't have much to do with my mother." Su Xuewen was brave for once, not letting his mother carry the black pot, "I have thought a lot during this time, I sympathize with you, and I admire you. You, a girl, supporting this family alone, is really amazing. But... in short, I need to think about it again."

"You also dislike me, right?" Huang Dongxue looked heartbroken, "You also think my family is a burden, afraid of being entangled by my family, and dare not marry me, right? I thought you were different, but now it seems you are no different from other men. You are a coward!"

Su Xuewen opened his mouth and couldn't argue.

Huang Dongxue wiped away tears hard, which made people feel both heartbroken and unbearable.

Several times, Su Xuewen couldn't help but want to take back his previous words.

"But I don't blame you! You dislike my family, this is normal." Huang Dongxue tried hard to smile, with tears in her smile, stabbing Su Xuewen's heart.

He was really not a human!

How could he fail her, how could he make her sad and shed tears.

"Dongxue, let's get married." He finally said bravely.

Huang Dongxue shook her head and refused, "No! I don't want to marry you! I don't want you to bear pressure and be scolded on both sides. I don't want you to be pointed at, I don't want you to be deserted by everyone. I won't marry you, you go marry a girl who is well-matched in social status. I wish you a hundred years of harmony!"

Su Xuewen slapped himself hard, "Dongxue, I am a coward, I am not worthy of you. But I sincerely want to marry you as my wife. Let's get married, I will find a matchmaker, I will rent a house. After marriage, we will move out to live."

"What about your parents?"

"It's best if they agree, if they don't... wait until we get married and have children, for the sake of the children, they will accept it sooner or later."

"Your uncle there, how do you explain?" Huang Dongxue hadn't forgotten Prison Warden Chen, who gave her too much pressure.

Su Xuewen instantly calmed down.

Uncle there...

He shuddered subconsciously.

He gritted his teeth

Huang Dongxue looked at him and revealed a bright smile. "Good! I will wait for you at home to come and propose; don't make me wait too long."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go find a matchmaker right now."

Su Xuewen was extremely excited.

He appeared impatient, as if he were racing against time. It was as if the marriage wouldn't happen if he were even a second late.

He still had to find someone to borrow money from.

He needed to rent a house, find a matchmaker, get married, and prepare household goods...

He wanted to give Miss Huang a decent wedding and let her marry him in style.

A rough calculation showed he needed a large sum of silver.

After thinking it over, he ran home, deciding he should say something after all.

In front of his parents, he announced, "I want to marry Miss Huang. Whether you agree or not, I am going to marry her. At worst, I'll rent a house and move out after the wedding."

Chen Xiaolan's face darkened. She threw the rag in her hand aside and looked coldly at her "good" son. "Even if your father and I don't agree, you still insist on marrying Huang Dongxue?"

"Yes!" Su Xuewen gathered his courage to face his parents' fury.

Chen Xiaolan sneered. "You're grown up now, your wings have hardened; if you want to marry, then marry. Don't expect me or your father to cough up a single tael of silver. Don't wait until after the wedding to move out—move out now. I won't be drinking any daughter-in-law's tea. After you two are married, there's no need to come to our door to pay respects. You old fool, go invite his uncle over, and then invite two of the clan elders."

Su's brother-in-law looked bewildered. "Why invite the clan elders?"

"I'm making the decision: today, Su Xuewen is being split from the family. This house will be left to Xuewu from now on! Do you agree?"

Chen Xiaolan stared fixedly at Su's brother-in-law, looking ready to flip out if he dared to disagree.

Su's brother-in-law frowned tightly, looked at his son, then at his wife, and finally nodded heavily. "Fine! The child is grown; it is time to split the family."

Su Xuewen couldn't believe it. "Father, Mother, are you really going to split me off? I am the eldest son; it is my duty to provide for your old age. You cannot do this."

Chen Xiaolan sneered. "I don't dare let you provide for our old age; I'm afraid of dying at the hands of my daughter-in-law. We are splitting the family today. This home was saved up by your father and me; it has nothing to do with you. I won't give you a single copper, so go live a good life with that girl surnamed Huang. From now on, your life, old age, sickness, and death have nothing to do with us."

Su Xuewen was in great pain. "Mother, does it really have to be this way? I'm just marrying a wife; I haven't broken any heavenly laws."

"To me, you marrying someone surnamed Huang is the same as breaking heavenly laws. I would rather you stay a bachelor than have you bring a home-wrecker back here. You old fool, what are you still standing there for? Hurry and find someone. Let's sign the family-splitting document today."

Having been "ravaged" by her younger brother Chen Guanlou for so many years, Chen Xiaolan's acceptance of not marrying was clearly very high, far higher than that of her son bringing home a woman she didn't like.

She would rather her son remain a bachelor than accept him being hoodwinked by a Huang family girl.

Su Xuewen couldn't accept his parents' attitude; before the witnesses arrived, he left in a daze. Walking and walking, he arrived at the Huang family's door.

Huang Dongxue looked at him with concern. "Xuewen, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Father and Mother want to split the family, kick me out, and don't want me to provide for their old age. They won't give me a single copper when they split the family. Dongxue, I have nothing left; I only have you."

Huang Dongxue was shocked; her pupils were trembling.
