Chapter 111 Guilt
Chapter 111 Guilt
"Small things? If these things happened to you, would you still say they are small things?" Xu Shan asked Xu Qian expressionlessly.
Xu Qian immediately lowered his head feeling guilty. What happened to him was naturally not a trivial matter.
After all, he is the beneficiary, and who wants to suffer losses?
"If you don't want to suffer any loss, why should we treat you well?"
"My second brother is not..."
"Alright, we've severed our relationship. I'm not your second brother. If you see me next time, just pretend you don't know me."
Xu Shan was about to take Xu Zhiyan home, and when he thought of something, he said to Old Lady Xu, "Everything in my house belongs to us, not even a penny. Xu Wenyu, don't even think about getting anything from my family."
"The rest is your own business. Don't involve us." After saying that, he pulled Xu Zhiyan home and closed the door in front of Grandpa Xu and the others.
Old Master Xu had an extra hundred taels in his hand. This was the pension money given by Xu Shan, and also the money to sever ties with them.
The people standing by the sidelines looking at each other were surprised and said, "Xu Shan is really giving me face."
"Who says it's not? This hundred taels is enough for their retirement money until they die, right?"
"I don't know what this old lady Xu is thinking. Why would she help Xu Wenyu and ask Xu Shan to give her a dowry?"
"Is there anyone in the village who doesn't know that Xu Wenyu almost killed Xu Zhiyan? For such hatred, can Xu Shan give 500 taels? It's simply a foolish dream."
Old Lady Xu listened to what everyone around her said, her face turned green with anger, she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Shut up, what do you know?"
"We really don't know anything, but we know that some people are just ungrateful."
"You bullied an honest man, and now Xu Shan doesn't want to be with you anymore."
Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but she couldn't do anything about them.
"Mrs. Xu, you should think carefully about how to prevent your husband from divorcing you."
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Old Mr. Xu with a pale face. She wanted to say something, but Old Mr. Xu had already left.
Old Mrs. Xu hurriedly followed, worried that Old Mr. Xu would be unhappy about this matter and would really want to separate from her.
Xu Shan's eyes were red when he returned home: "It's all Dad's fault. If only I had seen what kind of people they were earlier."
"Dad, it's a good thing you can see clearly now. Otherwise, it would be the biggest trouble if they cause trouble when my brother becomes an official in the future." Xu Zhiyan shook his head and said.
Xu Shan smiled bitterly, knowing that Xu Zhiyan was trying to comfort her.
She said with some sadness: "Yanyan, please don't comfort me, I know..."
"It's all in the past, why are you still worrying about it? Can't we just live a good life from now on?" Xu's mother slapped Xu Shan and said unhappily.
Xu Shan scratched his head and looked at Xu's mother with some embarrassment.
"You, you, the child has forgiven you, there is no need for you to be so sad."
Xu Shan subconsciously looked at Xu Zhiyan beside him, who nodded helplessly: "Dad, it's good enough for us that you can see clearly now."
"From now on, matters concerning the old house will have nothing to do with us. We just need to live our lives well." Xu Shan said softly.
"You're right to think so. My brother has been at Qingshan Academy for such a long time, and we don't know when he will be back." Seeing that Xu Shan was still thinking about this, Xu Zhiyan quickly changed the subject.
Xu Shan frowned and said, "It will probably take some time for your brother to recover."
"But let's see the situation first. I guess he can come back during the holiday. If not, ask Jinxiao." Xu Shan thought about it and finally decided to go find Chu Jinxiao to ask about Xu Peiran's situation.
"Then I'll go ask tomorrow." Xu Zhiyan thought about it and felt that it made sense.
After all, Chu Jinxiao knew Qingshan Academy better.
When the family was discussing Xu Peiran's matter, Mrs. Xu was standing in front of Mr. Xu hesitantly. She looked at him anxiously and said, "Old man, believe me, Yu'er won't abandon us like this. She will definitely treat us very well. I can guarantee you that."
ensure?
Mr. Xu slammed his hand on the table. "Promise? What can you promise me?"
Xu Wenyu did that at the birthday party, and now she's asking them to attend the wedding banquet. Is she sure they will go?
Or is she sure that Old Lady Xu dotes on her and she will agree with just a few words?
"I……"
"I'm going to say this today. If you really want to help her and prepare those things for her, don't blame me for being rude to you." Old Man Xu looked at Old Lady Xu with a warning look on his face.
"She embarrassed me in front of so many people, and you let me go to the wedding?"
Old Mrs. Xu said awkwardly, "This is not Yu'er's fault. She was framed by someone. Can't you be considerate of Yu'er?"
Old Master Xu looked at Old Lady Xu in disbelief. She actually asked such a shameful person like him to sympathize with Xu Wenyu?
Is this old woman crazy?
Staring at the old lady Xu in front of him, Mr. Xu shook his head and said, "I think you are crazy. You can even say such words."
"I'm not the one who's crazy, it's you. Yu'er is such a good child, why do you dislike her so much?"
Seeing that Old Mrs. Xu was still speaking for Xu Wenyu at this time, Old Man Xu knew that this matter was not so easy.
Xu Wenyu has Old Lady Xu under her thumb.
Now no matter what they say, Old Mrs. Xu probably won't listen.
Seeing that Old Master Xu wanted to say something, Xu Qian quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, there is no need to say more about this matter. Since my mother's heart is filled with Xu Wenyu, she has nothing to do with us."
Mr. Xu sighed, nodded and said, "You are right. Let's just leave it at that for now. As for the rest, don't worry about it."
Old Mrs. Xu stared at Xu Qian beside her in a daze and said anxiously, "Old Third, how can you say such things? I am your mother."
"When you decided to treat us like this for Xu Wenyu, there was nothing to talk about between us."
"Dad, let's go. Let's go tell big brother too. Don't let anyone fool you."
"Let's go."
Mr. Xu took Xu Qian to find Xu Mu and told him about this.
"Dad, I also find this matter strange. Why is my mother so sure that Xu Wenyu will take care of her?"
"I don't know about that. You want to do business, don't you? Don't worry about her now. Go do your business. If you need money, just tell me. Come back when the time comes."
Xu Mu looked at Old Man Xu in astonishment, frowned and said, "Dad, do you want to leave Mom to the care of the second son?"
In Xu Mu's opinion, Xu Shan was already distant from them and it was impossible for him to take care of Old Mrs. Xu, especially since Old Mrs. Xu had ulterior motives.
