Chapter 421

~7 min read 1,396 words

Liu Guang Qi was being scolded by Liu Guangtian pointing at his nose, and he could no longer hold back.

Do you think I want to come back and live here?

It's Mom and Dad who want me to come back; otherwise, why would we give up our nice apartment to come back?

You really think I'd value your house? That's just my condition for coming back.

Only Yang Qing's small courtyard did I agree to.

He had already begun speaking without restraint; hearing this, Liu Guangtian gritted his teeth in hatred and looked at Liu Hai Zhong and Second Aunt.

You really are my dear parents.

Liu Guangtian was grief-stricken and indignant.

Liu Hai Zhong and Second Aunt also felt a bit shameless.

But now that it's come to this, Liu Hai Zhong, for the sake of his eldest son, no longer intends to conceal anything.

Your eldest brother is supposed to support us in our old age; what's wrong with giving him a bit more?

It's exactly because you can't be relied upon that you get this treatment; don't blame us.

Given your morality, what entitles you to expect us to treat you well?

Do you deserve it?

You can't even get into college, yet you have the nerve to keep asking us for things?

You even hit your father; how dare we let you support us in our old age?

Liu Guangtian, none of this is anyone else's fault; it's your own lack of promise.

You can't study, you can't do anything; what prospects do you have?

Being able to make room for your brother is your blessing; only your brother will look out for you a bit.

Liu Guangtian shouted loudly.

I don't need it.

I, Liu Guangtian, would rather starve or die poor than come to you.

If you look down on us, let's sever ties, so you won't have to worry about me benefiting from Liu Guang Qi's favor.

Damn, Liu Guang Qi jumped in fright; this can't be cut off—if you sever ties, who will support them? I don't want to support them.

Liu Guangtian, you scoundrel—raising you to this age wasn't easy for your parents; how could you say such heartless words?

Liu Guangtian glared at them.

Get lost.

You, you…

Liu Guangtian gave him no face whatsoever.

Liu Hai Zhong and Second Aunt were also shocked by Liu Guangtian's talk of cutting ties.

Liu Hai Zhong shouted in anger.

You're dreaming—we raised you to this age, and you think a single word can undo it?

You unfilial wretch—even if you beat me to death, I won't comply with your wishes.

Second Aunt also said.

Guangtian, what are you saying? Is that something a person would say?

Although we may be a bit unfair to you, compared to others you're not lacking at all.

Have we ever starved you or frozen you?

We ought to conduct ourselves with conscience.

Liu Guangtian knew it couldn't be cut off.

If we can't sever ties, then we'll split the household—each will live their own way from now on.

If you don't agree to this, I'll go find Liu Guang Qi every day to see if he can take a beating.

That is his real purpose.

Liu Hai Zhong felt Liu Guangtian was the biggest unfilial son; this unfilial son wanting to split the household left him furious and bewildered.

Fine, let's split—then I'll see what kind of life you can make for yourself.

Second Aunt tugged at Liu Hai Zhong, not wanting to divide the family.

Liu Hai Zhong misunderstood, thinking of Liu Guang Fu.

Your elder brother wants to live at home; having Guang Fu live here too would be inappropriate—weren't you saying we mistreat him?

From now on, he'll follow you.

Liu Guang Fu looked hopefully at his second brother.

Liu Guangtian nodded.

All right, Guang Fu will follow me from now on.

Liu Hai Zhong felt that adding Liu Guang Fu would make things difficult for Liu Guangtian; later there would be times when he would need Liu Guangtian's help.

Everything in the house is mine; it will be passed to your elder brother in the future.

You have no share.

He is creating difficulties for Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian couldn't care less.

Fine, I don't care for it either.

Liu Guang Qi felt something was wrong.

Dad, if we live at home, my wife won't come.

He simply doesn't want to live together with Liu Hai Zhong.

If it weren't for Yang Qing's courtyard being renovated so nicely, a courtyard is just a small garden; he wouldn't want to stay.

The best approach is for him to take the benefits, and let Liu Guangtian support the elderly.

How did I end up so deeply bound to Liu Hai Zhong now?

Then wouldn't I be losing big?

Liu Hai Zhong is a lunatic; who would want to keep living with him?

Liu Hai Zhong furrowed his brows.

"You have to come even if you don't want to; she has even defied heaven."

"Who's eldest son doesn't live with his parents?"

Second Aunt also said.

"If you move back, I'll look after your children."

Liu Guangtian gave a hehe laugh.

"Big brother, you wouldn't be unwilling to support our parents in their old age, would you?"

"The charge of unfilial conduct doesn't sound good."

"You're not like me; anyway, I'm good-for-nothing."

"You're a cadre; if people found out, wouldn't your future be ruined?"

Finishing blow.

A direct strike at Liu Guang Qi's weak point.

Liu Hai Zhong is obsessed with official posts; Liu Guang Qi is no less eager, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of getting involved in construction support.

"How could that be? How could I not support my parents in their old age? I'm not like you."

"Shouldn't you discuss this with your sister-in-law?"

He gave an embarrassed smile.

Liu Hai Zhong settled the matter with a single blow.

"Then you move back this Sunday."

The whole process went through without Liu Guang Fu's consent.

Liu Guang Fu felt no discomfort at all; instead, he was excited beyond measure.

Finally, finally, he was about to leave.

Great.

He kept holding it in, not letting himself laugh out loud.

He waited until the partition contract was signed, then Liu Guang Fu hugged his own clothes, schoolbag, and quilt, returned to the back courtyard, and only then covered his mouth and started laughing.

Liu Guangtian also breathed a sigh of relief; although he seems fierce, he really doesn't dare to hit Liu Hai Zhong again.

He also needs a reputation.

Especially since he will be marrying and having children in a few years.

In the back courtyard, Li Da Xiong doesn't even come over to stay much.

Liu Guangtian is a half-grown lad, exactly at the age when thoughts of love arise.

His wife is beautiful and charming; if he can't resist even once, he wouldn't regret dying.

The couple also moved many useless items from their own house over, making the home much more spacious.

As for vegetables and fruit, they were split evenly with Liu Guangtian.

Only Liang Ladi, him, and the neighbors of Er Da Ye knew a bit about the Liu family's affairs; others didn't notice anything unusual about the Liu family.

They only realized the Liu family's changes after Liu Guang Qi moved back.

Liu Guangtian split off from the family, and Liu Guang Fu followed Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian got nothing, and instead gained a burdensome younger brother.

Er Da Ye's doing such a thing made many people look down on him.

But Liu Hai Zhong doesn't care; his son and grandson have returned.

Is there anything more joyful than this?

Xu Damao, after pondering over this period, eventually found a widow in the countryside.

She has a daughter, and she's pregnant; her husband is gone.

She is very beautiful, and after his inquiries, she is also kind, hardworking; after her husband left, she single-handedly held up the family, and there hasn't been much gossip.

Xu Damao had someone make an introduction, but the other party kept refusing.

In the end, the village forced her into a dead-end situation, leaving her no choice, so she agreed to meet.

When Xu Damao entered her home, he was shocked by how poor they were.

They had nothing at home, not even a pair of chopsticks.
