The house of the old patriarch Hu Wang is next to the ancestral hall in the village.

There are still a few elderly people in the tribe. Now that it is almost the twelfth lunar month, they have already been staying in the house on the kang or couch, and will not go out unless there is nothing to do. They will play mahjong and drink wine in groups of three or four.

Of course, these are all people whose families are well off.

Some elderly people stay in the firewood room and utility room doing manual work even in the middle of winter.

Hu Wang belongs to the latter.

Although the family was not short of food and drink, they did not have enough left over.

I went to the Li family's courtyard a while ago to find a job for my grandson, but was rejected.

Later, Hu Wang's grandson went to help out in the grocery store of Hu Dexian's eldest son, Hu Chunlin, and his wife in the county.

When Wei Mancheng and Jixiang arrived at Hu Wang's house, they heard a woman's sarcastic curses from inside the courtyard wall.

"I do nothing all day, just eat and drink."

"There's also money to subsidize that person. If you think the money is too much, just give it to me!"

There were sounds of things being moved in the kitchen, accompanied by some thrashing sounds.

"I'm afraid that's your biological child?"

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and then Hu Wang was furious, "You are a chatterbox woman, you insult your elders and are unreasonable! Do you believe that I will let Hu Gui divorce you?"

The woman snorted, "Divorce! You should let him divorce. If your son doesn't divorce me today, he's a son of a bitch!"

"You are... so vulgar!"

"I am a country woman, and your Hu family is not a wealthy family in the city, so why are you yelling at me?"

There was silence inside the courtyard for a while, and one could imagine how angry Hu Wang was.

Jixiang went forward and knocked on the door.

The person who came out to open the door was Hu Wang's daughter-in-law, Zhou, who married to Lushui Village from Xiaozhou Village. Her parents' home was only a few steps away.

She put one hand on her waist, with anger still on her face. She looked Jixiang up and down, and naturally did not miss Wei Mancheng behind Jixiang. She knew what was going on.

These days, the topic of discussion in the village has shifted from the Li family courtyard to the bamboo hut.

Zhou had also heard about it, and when she got home she mocked her husband Hu Gui, "Just wait, you sold your sister, and spent the money you earned from selling your body. I think your carefree days are over.

Looking at that man, he is quite impressive. "

Hu Gui was scared at that time. He is a bully in his own backyard.

Zhou opened the door and said, "Come in." She pointed to the side room and said, "The person you are looking for is there." She couldn't hide the gloating in her tone.

Wei Mancheng came to see Hu Wang and Hu Gui today. He didn't pay much attention to Zhou and went straight to the wing room.

Hu Wang was not surprised to see him coming.

"You're here? I knew this would happen since the first day you arrived at Green Water Village."

"If you want to blame someone, blame me. It's hard to explain what happened back then." Hu Wang was weaving a basket with his clumsy hands. "My prodigal son lost money in gambling, and when your grandmother wasn't paying attention, he sold your mother to a family as a maid."

"Yue Niang... was a very beautiful girl, and she was originally engaged... Later, your grandmother passed away, and your mother rushed back to see her off, but she never came back."

"Until... the year you were born, one day, your mother was sent back to Lushui Village. The person who sent her back said that the baby girl she gave birth to was not saved and was gone. Your mother also... also..."

Wei Mancheng stiffened and listened silently.

In order not to bring up bad memories for Hu Yueniang, he did not ask her in detail about what happened in the past.

All we know is that she was sold for unknown reasons, and the seller was her cousin.

When Hu Gui heard that Hu Yue Niang's biological son had come looking for him, he ran away to the county and hasn't been home for several days.

Hu Wang no longer had any hope for this boy.

"Back then, I was the head of Green Water Village, and I couldn't ignore the wishes of the villagers. That rebellious son didn't want to take her back home, so I marked out a piece of land in the bamboo forest, had someone build a bamboo house, and let your mother live there."

"I am so incompetent..." Hu Wang got up from the stool and took out an old purse from the secret compartment under a wooden box.

"I have saved up all the money that my rebellious son spent. You can give it to your mother. I don't have more than two years to live, and I have been feeling very upset about this."

Wei Mancheng looked at the purse that Hu Wang handed over and remained silent for a long time.

Is this the few ounces of silver that bought his mother's life...

"My mother knows that someone has been sending her food from time to time over the years. It was probably someone you asked to do it. I can not investigate how your son treated my mother, but there is a condition."

He lived in a bamboo house and had not left the village for more than ten years. He did not interact with many people and was very depressed.

This can drive people to death.

Wei Mancheng's heart was filled with guilt.

He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table. "I came here today because I have something important to tell you."

"My mother has suffered all the hardships she deserved in her life. I don't want anyone to disturb her peace and quiet in the future."

Although his tone was gentle, his words were unquestionable.

Hu Wang picked up the paper with trembling hands.

"Break...break the intimate letter?"

"Yes."

He took the opportunity to make a clean break; he had never been the indecisive type.

From inviting Muramasa and several clan elders to be present as witnesses to signing the document, two copies were made.

An hour passed.

No one at the scene dared to object to the severance of the relationship.

From his bright clothes and outstanding temperament, it can be seen that Hu Yue Niang's son is a genuine rich kid.

But even so, no one dared to speak out to stop the two families from breaking off their relationship.

It is not easy to hold on to this thigh. It must be said that several elders of the clan were more or less in the mood to watch the show.

After Wei Mancheng left Hu Wang's house, he returned to the bamboo house.

Hu Yue Niang sat on the bed waiting, she knew that her son was going to Hu Wang's house today.

When Wei Mancheng came back and placed the letter of severance in front of her, she curled her lips and said, "You did it really, beautifully..."

Wei Mancheng smiled faintly and said, "We must make you feel at ease. Don't think about people who are not worth worrying about in the future. Just eat and drink well every day."

"Okay, mom will hold her grandson soon." Hu Yue's mother patted the back of her son's hand.

Wei Mancheng: "..."

"You... went to Madam Li's place, did you see the child? Just, just give birth to the child just like that..."

On the way back, Wei Mancheng was filled with heartache for his biological mother, but now it all turned into helplessness.

"Mom, you haven't even found a daughter-in-law yet, so where did the child come from? You should get your legs and feet healed quickly."

"it is good……"

Hu Yue Niang secretly felt regretful in her heart, thinking how great it would be if Madam Li was still unmarried.
