Feng's father and Feng's mother, who originally had some complaints about their eldest daughter-in-law, also looked surprised.
You know, after Liu Liniang married into the Feng family, except for her first child, she had not been pregnant again for several years.
Otherwise, they would not have agreed to give away their eldest son first when they saw that Liu Liniang was going back to her parents' home with her grandson.
Now that Liu Liniang is pregnant again, the original scale has been even more weighted. Suddenly, there is a tilt between the eldest son and the youngest son.
"Xu'er is teaching abroad now, so let him teach well first!
Since he doesn't want to marry a wife, let's separate him first.
When he wants to get a wife, let the boss and the others help him again!"
After Feng's father sighed, he finally compromised and sent the second child alone.
After all, the boss, grandson, and Liu Liniang had another baby in their belly.
If the eldest family is divided, who will take care of the eldest daughter-in-law?
Feng Xu also didn't expect that his family would be divided just because he came out to hide for a while.
Originally, after working in Dahuaishu Village for a month, he got his wages and rushed home during the holiday, hoping to give the money to his mother.
After all, he had food and drink in Dahuaishu Village, and Mrs. Ning was also responsible for the seasonal clothes of the two gentlemen in the school.
Therefore, he didn't spend a penny of his salary, he saved it all.
But as soon as she got home, Feng's mother did not dare to look at him.
After Feng's father sighed, he said to Feng Xu.
"Second brother, with the way you look now, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry.
But your eldest brother is different. He has a wife and children, and your sister-in-law has another baby in her belly.
She keeps making trouble now just because our family is too poor.
Just teach hard outside, there is nothing to give you at home.
You also know that our family has spent a lot of money on you over the years.
Therefore, everything in the family will be given to your elder brother."
After hearing his father's words, Feng Xu couldn't help but loosen his hand that was holding the purse in his arms.
He smiled bitterly.
"Dad, is this what my sister-in-law wants, or what you and your eldest brother want?"
"Second brother, what's the point of asking this now?
Ask yourselves, your family is worthy enough of you.
Our family is not that rich, how can we keep filling this bottomless hole like yours?"
Father Feng said with some hatred that iron cannot become steel.
In fact, he also had resentment in his heart.
If the second child had been admitted as a scholar early, everything would have been different.
Now the two brothers don't have to make such an ugly fuss.
Feng Xu lowered his head silently and asked no more questions.
Father Feng's heart softened for a moment, and then he hardened his heart again when he thought of the child in his eldest daughter-in-law's belly.
He took out the family separation letter that he had asked the clan elders to write for him before, and asked Feng Xu to come forward and sign it.
Feng Xu shook his hands and took the family separation letter. It clearly stated that the house and fields in the family were all owned by his eldest brother.
My parents also lived with my eldest brother, but he had nothing except the books and quilts in his own room.
Seeing what was written in the family separation letter, how could Feng Xu not know that he had been abandoned by his family.
That's right, a hapless guy like him is basically a bottomless pit.
Giving up at home is a perfectly normal thing.
Holding back the tears in his eyes, Feng Xu took a pen and signed his name.
Then he went back to the house with a solemn expression, put his precious books into his backpack, packed up the bedding, carried it in his hands and bowed his head before coming out.
When Feng's mother saw this, she turned her head and didn't dare to look at him. She just covered her mouth and kept crying.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't even come out of the house. Father Feng only glanced at him and sighed.
"You...take care of yourself from now on!
Your brother will take care of me and your mother, so you don’t have to worry."
Father Feng was afraid that Feng Xu would come home from time to time and make his eldest daughter-in-law unhappy, so he told Feng Xu directly.
Hearing Father Feng's words, Feng Xu felt even more depressed.
When I walked out of the door, I turned around and looked back at my former home. Now it seems so strange.
When Feng's mother saw her youngest son leaving the house in despair, she rushed into the house crying, and then rushed out with a bag of things.
"you come back."
When Feng's father saw this, he was startled. He couldn't help but glance towards the eldest daughter's house, fearing that the eldest daughter-in-law would cause trouble again.
However, Feng's mother didn't seem to hear her. After rushing out of the house, she caught up with Feng Xu who was stumbling in front of her.
Seeing Feng's mother suddenly rushing over, Feng Xu didn't even raise his head to look at her.
Since you have given up on him, why bother looking for him again?
"Son, don't blame your father and mother, we really have no choice!
From now on, you have to live a good life on your own.
Take these first.
Mom will do it for you later."
Feng's mother wiped away her tears and put a pair of cloth shoes she was holding into Feng Xu's hands.
Before Feng Xu could refuse, he was snatched away by a pair of hands.
"Okay, mother, as agreed, he will leave the house.
Are you still using the cloth at home to make shoes for him?
Poor Feng Li, in this weather, he is still wearing straw sandals!
Why don't you make a pair for Feng Li and let him wear them?
Moreover, after we agreed to leave the house, I, the sister-in-law, let him take away the bedding that he had made himself, and there were so many books. Isn’t that kind enough?
Don’t think I don’t know that these books, if sold in a bookstore in the state capital, would be worth a few cents!”
Liu Liniang was illiterate and had never been to a bookstore in the prefecture. Naturally, she did not know that someone like Feng Xu had borrowed books from the bookstore and copied them in handwritten copies.
If the handwriting is correct and good, different books can give you a lot of money!
She would say something like this, but she subconsciously felt that the book was a good thing and should be worth a few dollars.
However, in this family, except for the second eldest child, no one else can read.
Therefore, Liu Liniang had no idea how much it would be worth.
But she knew about the thousand-layer cloth shoes that my mother-in-law bought.
Such handmade cloth shoes cost at least twenty or thirty cents!
Moreover, there is no reason why I have no man in my family, but my brother-in-law has separated from the family and moved out.
Feng's mother also didn't expect that the eldest daughter-in-law would follow her and snatch the pair of cloth shoes from her hand that were meant for the second child. She was speechless for a moment.
Feng Xu didn't want the pair of shoes given by Feng's mother. Since his sister-in-law took the shoes away, he didn't have to push them back and forth with his mother.
"Don't worry, I won't ask my family for another penny again.
Mom, my child is unfilial and cannot serve you and my father. Please take care of me."
Feng Xu put down the bedding tied up in his hands, knelt down, and kowtowed hard to Feng's mother.
Then he turned around and kowtowed again towards the Feng family's position.
After he finished kowtow, he stabilized his body and stopped swaying unsteadily.
Instead, he tightened his grip on the quilt in his hands and strode away.
