Chapter 11

Seeing Xu Houcai’s appearance, the village chief felt even more dissatisfied. However, this was a family affair after all, so he couldn’t comment too much. He asked Liu Tong, “Liu Tong, what’s your opinion?”

Liu Tong looked at Xu Ran, who was in a terrible situation, leaning against him. The corners of his mouth as well as his legs were covered with blood, while he kept crying out for pain. Liu Tong replied, “It’s up to dad and daddy to decide everything! However, the village head, can I send Ran to see a doctor first? I’m afraid he’s hurt too much. ”

“To see a doctor? Why to see a doctor? It’s only good if this good-for-nothing is dead. You are not allowed to go.”

Elder Daddy Xu shouted as soon as he heard what Liu Tong had said.

Liu Tong said nothing in return after being snapped by Elder Daddy Xu. He looked down at Xu Ran and stroked his hand to comfort him.

Xu Ran could endure this kind of pain, but he didn’t want to. He wanted the village head to see how ruthless the Xu Family was, so he didn’t stop but kept shouting for pain.

The village head really felt sorry for Xu Ran’s situation. He knew this family had gone too far. Xu Ran was indeed a fool, but he was Xu Cheng’s elder brother. The family should not abandon Xu Ran this way. However, this was a household chore after all, and it was not proper for him to intervene. He could only act as the village head and be a witness in the affair.

Liu Tong agreed, and the village head turned his eyes to Xu Houcai, “Head of the Xu Family, what do you say about the family separation?”

Xu Houcai was a farmer with deep-rooted thoughts. He had never read books and was very traditional in his bones, so he didn’t agree with the separation.

However, before Xu Houcai could speak, Elder Daddy Xu stood up and said, “Split. This family must be separated.”

Xu Houcai took a glance at Elder Daddy Xu and agreed silently.

The village head asked Xu Cheng again, “Then whom will your dad and daddy live with after the separation?”

Xu Cheng patted his chest, “Of course they will live with us.”

Of course, he was not stupid. If his dad and daddy were to live with his eldest brother, how much land would he get from the family? But if they lived with him, he would not only get much more land but also this house. His brother was only a fool, so how could his dad and daddy give the family property to him?

“Right. We’ll live with Cheng. We don’t need to be bothered by this idiot in the future,” Elder Daddy Xu responded to his son’s words.

The village head could do nothing further about the separation of the family, and he didn’t want to get involved, either. After all, it was their business. At last, the village head took a cold look at Xu Houcai and left.

Seeing the village head leave, Xu Houcai was relieved as well. He was clear if the village head kept on watching there, then the family would be hard to split.

Thus, the Xu Family began to talk about the division of their family property as soon as the vilage head left.

Xu Houcai gave a cold glance at Xu Ran’s miserable appearance and then said, “We have three acres of fields, three acres of land, and a house. This house is for Xu Cheng. We’ll live here, too. Xu Ran, you can find another place to live. It’s impossible to give you the three acres of fields. As for the land, that is, the land at the entrance of the village, I’ll give it to you. ”

“No, I don’t agree. We have planted vegetables in the land at the entrance of the village. If we give it to them, what shall we eat? No, we can’t give them anything. He is an unfilial son. As his dad and daddy, we gave birth to him and raised him up, but he didn’t make any money for us up till now. He even drives us mad at present. No, we won’t give him anything. Just let them get out,” Elder Daddy Xu shouted.

Liu Tong still kept silent. He held Xu Ran by the hand tighter and tighter. Xu Ran felt his bones were almost broken.

Xu Ran patted Liu Tong with another hand, indicating him to calm down.

Then he got close to Liu Tong’s ear and whispered, “Tongtong, let them be. We can earn it by ourselves.”

Xu Ran’s movements were very small, so the other Xu Family members did not notice them.

After Elder Daddy Xu finished speaking, Xu Cheng went on, “Dad, daddy is right. All the vegetables our family eat are from that mere land. If we give the land to Xu Ran, we will not have any food this year, and we will not have any land to grow vegetables in the future! How could we survive if we have no food to eat?”

“Yeah, dad. Hui and Qiang are just growing up. They have to eat too much. How can they grow tall if they don’t have enough? Dad, don’t you hope Hui and Qiang to be hungry, right? ”

Zhang Yue also pressed. At the same time, he asked his two children to act coquettishly with Xu Houcai.

After getting Zhang Yue’s suggestion, Xu Hui and Xu Qiang ran to Xu Houcai’s side, hugging Xu Houcai’s thigh while keeping on calling him grandpa.

Looking at the two lovely grandchildren under his feet, and then at Tangtang and Guoguo standing in the corner, Xu Houcai looked disdainful.

“No, we won’t give the land to them. Now, you, get out of here!”

“Right. Get out of here and go far away. It’s best to die outside.”

In fact, the fool and Xu Cheng were both born to Elder Daddy Xu. Then why should Elder Daddy Xu hate Xu Ran so much?

Xu Ran really didn’t understand.
