Chapter 153 The more loveless a child is, the more filial he is

"After Fang Ping expressed his intention to split up the family, the family members who normally hated him the most suddenly disagreed. It was as if they had become a family again that day, and they even said some bullshit about not splitting up the family as long as the parents were still alive. One by one, they came to persuade Fang Ping, saying that family members don't hold grudges overnight."

"She also promised that she would treat him well in the future, never beat or scold him again, and that everyone would do the housework together."

"We outsiders all know what they are up to. They are just afraid that Fang Ping's job will be divided out, and Fang Ping's work will have to be shared out by them. But Fang Ping is different. We know that he has been hoping that his parents will share some of the love they have for his brother with him."

"It's not like there weren't villagers who suggested to him to split up the family property before, but he always said that his parents were old and he needed to stay at home to take care of them, and he didn't want to split up and live there."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin sighed.

This is why children who lack love the most are more filial, hoping to get some love from their parents that they have never received through filial piety.

"We were all worried that Fang Ping was too soft-hearted. If his parents lowered their status to persuade them, he might easily forgive them, and then we would be blamed. Fortunately, this time Fang Ping was completely disappointed and firmly said that he wanted to split up the family."

"Seeing Fang Ping's firm attitude, the family turned hostile in an instant, as if by magic. It was as if the words just said to Fang Ping did not come from their mouths. The family surrounded Fang Ping with gloomy faces and hurled all kinds of dirty words at the child."

"We couldn't bear to listen any more, but the kid didn't say a word. He just let them scold him in silence, but his attitude was very firm. Seeing his firm attitude, we felt relieved and bold to help Fang Ping speak up."

"Seeing Fang Ping was unmoved and with the support of a few of us, Tian Xizhen knew there was no room for maneuver. She finally agreed to split the family, but she wanted Fang Ping to leave the house with nothing, and she would not give him any land or money. Ugh!"

The village chief turned his head away and spat fiercely.

"How could this be justified? We immediately scolded her and called Chen Guanghao to come forward to talk. But Chen Guanghao was a coward and could not make any decisions. But we would never back down. In the end, Tian Xizhen just gave in and gave Fang Ping four acres of the worst mountain land and three acres of the least productive paddy field."

"She didn't give him a house or money. She only gave him a bag of cornmeal, a few old pumpkins, and Fang Ping's clothes and bedding, as well as a few broken bowls and pots. Even with that, she still wanted Fang Ping to give her two taels of silver every year as a tribute."

"We really can't stand it, but Fang Ping doesn't want to argue anymore. If he agrees, then we'll do as his mother wishes."

"That's how Fang Ping finally escaped from this cannibalistic family. The village head gave him a shabby thatched cottage at the entrance of the village. He moved in with the girl he picked up."

"That girl was a good person. Seeing Fang Ping's situation, she didn't despise him but stayed with him. Later, she became the mother of his three children."

"They didn't even have a wedding ceremony, so they just asked me to be a witness and after a meal, they became a family. His parents never showed up from beginning to end, and they even said that they didn't recognize this daughter-in-law, but Fang Ping didn't care much."

"Fortunately, although the family was poor, the two young people were hardworking, and their lives got better day by day. The thatched house was much larger, and a few more acres of land were acquired."

"But every year they had to pay tribute to Tian Xizhen, and from time to time that family would go and make a scene to take some things away. The family still lived a tight life, especially after the birth of the next three children. The family was even more stretched. They had a hard life, and his back was even more bent than his mother's at such a young age."

"It was not easy for the two of them to work hard and raise the three children. The eldest daughter, Xian'er, married to another county, and the two sons gradually became independent. They felt that it was not a good idea to work in the fields all the time. So the two brothers agreed to go out together and learn how to do business from others."

"The two children knew about their father and grandmother's family from a young age, and the old woman didn't like the three siblings. So the two brothers were full of anger and vowed to do something famous."

"They left the first year and didn't come back for the New Year. They sent a message saying they were going to the north for business. Fang Ping and his wife were so worried that they stayed at the entrance of the village all day long. The family even made sarcastic remarks, saying they might have died outside. Fortunately, the two brothers worked hard."

"I didn't expect that the two brothers would actually succeed. In less than two years, they have made a lot of money following the caravans traveling back and forth."

"I just want to come back and build a big brick and tile house for his parents, so that they can live out the rest of their lives in peace in the village after working hard for half their lives."

"When we first came back, we were really proud. Chen Fangyuan's family didn't dare to come to their door. Even Tian Xizhen and his wife would come to help them when they were building their house."

"At first, Fang Ping thought that they were his parents after all, so he welcomed them in with good food and drink. But gradually, this person began to think about things that did not belong to him."

"Tian Xizhen saw that her second son, whom she had looked down upon since childhood, was doing so well, while her beloved eldest son was getting worse and worse. In addition, the eldest son and his wife kept complaining to her, so she began to have some ideas."

"But she didn't dare to go to Feihu and Feilong. She only dared to talk about how difficult it was for Chen Fangyuan's family in front of Fang Ping, and she wanted to find some work for his eldest brother's family. Fang Ping knew the moral character of his eldest brother and his nephew Feihong, so he naturally wouldn't cause trouble for his son. So, he firmly refused, saying that the two children earned their money through hard work."

"The fact that her youngest son's family has become prosperous has already upset this old woman. Ever since Feilong and Feihu returned home in glory, the villagers have been gossiping about their family wherever they go, mostly because they feel sorry for Fang Ping's early years. Now that I, as his mother, have asked him for help, he actually refuses."

"Tian Xizhen, who has always been strong, could not stand this. After she failed to persuade him several times, she took her whole family to the courtyard of Fang Ping's house and cried and howled, saying that Fang Ping was unfilial."

"Fei Long and Fei Hu are young and arrogant. They turned a blind eye to the old woman before because of their father's face. Now the old woman is doing this on the day of the beam raising ceremony. Isn't this deliberately trying to make their life difficult?"

"Thinking of what Dad and Mom had gone through over the years, and how the three siblings were bullied by their family when they were young, the two brothers mercilessly criticized their family from head to toe in front of the villagers who came to help. The two brothers had been running around outside for so many years, and their eloquence was no match for those people who had lived in the village their whole lives."

"They scolded Tian Xizhen, Chen Guanghao and Chen Fangyuan from head to toe. That family had never been treated like this before. They wanted to throw a tantrum, but they were taken back by the two men and the guys who helped them carried them and threw them out."

"I wasn't there at the time, but my eldest brother helped put up the beams. When he came back and talked about it, he felt relieved. People like this should be punished without mercy."

When he said this, the village chief had a slight smile on his face.

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly became sad.

"If it were so, it would be great if things ended here~"
