Chapter 304: Chapter 294: A Grand Play (Part Two)

That Erhu, it’s infuriating that he didn’t drown in the pond when he was a child, and that incident even made the old lady alert. From then on, she began to pay attention to her own son, preventing her from finding another chance to act, and ultimately she had to watch as he grew up, married a wife...

Dahu cast a resentful glance at Erhu and Wu Jia, thinking of the bridal price given by the elders for Wu Jia’s entrance, he felt a pain in his guts; that money would have been his eventually.

Those two old fools, squandering his money and acting rich, would be better off really sick and simply dying...

In Dahu’s heart, he was convinced that Old Mi was not sick at all; if there was any illness, it was just an act.

Hmm, and so what if he was truly sick? If he was ill, it was his own son’s fault, which had nothing to do with him. If the old man really came to something, he could use this fact alone to ensure that Erhu couldn’t get away with it and would have to leave this home bare-assed...

Dahu’s face was full of schemes, and his resentful gaze couldn’t be hidden from anyone present. Shitou, Lu Yun, Su Qiaoling, and Wen Shan, what kind of people were they? They didn’t even need to use their eyes; they could feel something was off about him and unconsciously became more wary of Dahu.

Old Mi, along with Erhu and Wu Jia, had long since become immune to Dahu’s gazes.

Yang Yu, however, greedily eyed the medicine bottle in Erhu’s hand. Although she had always been instilling in Dahu the idea that the old man was faking his illness, she actually believed that the old man was sick.

If he’s sick, then it’s even better to agitate him and cause more attacks. Otherwise, how would the property come into their hands? The old couple had previously dreamed of them moving out to divide the household, hmph, did they really think she was foolish?

That medicine must be something good.

Yang Yu’s eyes darted around, thinking of a way to get her hands on the medicine after the others had left... It would be a complete waste to use good medicine on the old man...

But before she could come up with a plan, she heard something that completely drove her mad.

Over there, Old Mi spoke earnestly to Shitou and the others, "Comrade Pei, you saved my life, and I have nothing else to repay you with, so I’m giving you these salted duck eggs as my gift. I will charge you only the cost price for the ducks, ten yuan apiece, just give me 15,000 yuan for the 1,500 ducks.

Send a vehicle over to transport the ducks. Whenever you want to cook them, I am always ready to help, but with such a large number of ducks, you will need to slaughter them at least one day in advance, and I might need some assistance. Also, when cooking the ducks, I alone will not be enough; I will need my younger son as a helper."

"How is that any different from giving them away for free? No, I do not agree," Yang Yu jumped up and shouted, her voice full of anger and out of pitch.

"Dad, you’re getting confused again." Dahu was also getting anxious; if it weren’t for the presence of outsiders, he would almost roll up his sleeves and start a fight.

"You will no longer have the right to call me ’dad.’ You’re grown up now, your wings are strong. Your mother and I have never wronged you, and now you are married with a son who will soon be old enough to marry. From now on, let’s go our separate ways," Old Mi said wearily to his adopted elder son in front of him.

Previously, he admitted his mistake, he did wrong, raising a tiger that turned into a menace, raising his son into an enemy. Since he was wrong, now was the time to correct it.

"Your wife is right; I have my own biological son now. You are just an adopted son, and since you’ve already decided in your heart that we elder folks are biased towards our own and have not treated you well, you might as well go back under the knees of your biological parents and continue to carry on their lineage. I don’t need you here anymore."

Old Mi made up his mind; if he was to do it, he’d go through with it fully. He instructed his biological son, "Erhu, go invite your mother and some of the clan elders of our family. Notify the village’s chief secretary and the brigade leader too, ask them to make the trip here to serve as witnesses."

"Dad, have you really made up your mind?" Mi Erhu looked at his old father excitedly, his face a mix of anticipation and apprehension.

He never dared to feel any brotherly affection towards Mi Dahu; he thought I’d forgotten about the time when I was a child and he pushed me into the water-filled ditch, nearly drowning. But in reality, I remember it all too well.

After a hard struggle climbing out, I ran back and secretly told my parents. My mother, terrified, held me and cried for a long time, but my father simply wouldn’t believe me. With Mi Dahu insisting that he was just playing and fell in by accident, and that it was his fault for not keeping an eye out, my father assumed I was just a child who played too much and was afraid of getting scolded when I came back...

Over the years, Mi Dahu’s family has become increasingly overbearing. My mother could not stand it anymore; she suggested splitting the family many times, but my father just wouldn’t agree. He feels that, after all, it’s the child he raised with his own hands; he’s fundamentally good but was led astray by the wife he married. Moreover, he can’t let people talk behind his back, saying that he favors his own children over his adopted child.

Dad values loyalty and face; he’d rather swallow his grievances, and there’s nothing he and my mom can do about it. Isn’t this just another case of all bark and no bite?

Old Mi’s words also made Wu Jia’s eyes light up; as long as she could sever ties with Mi Dahu’s family, even if it cost some money, she was willing. She knew her father-in-law well; losing some money was nothing, what mattered was cutting off the relation completely.

"Impossible, I won’t agree." Mi Dahu glared at Old Mi, bellowing angrily.

"You old fool, are you really cutting off our family’s lifeline? I’ll fight you..." Yang Yu tried the same tactic as before, this time charging furiously straight at Old Mi.

Mi Erhu and Wu Jia were ready and quickly blocked in front of Old Mi.

However, with Shitou there, there was no need to block Yang Yu; she was doomed to fail. Yang Yu first felt as if there was an invisible wall in front of her.

As she was in shock and confusion, suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in her mind, followed by a voice thundering in her ear, "Wicked woman"...

Yang Yu sat down on the ground with a thud, looking around in panic, her face pale.

"Erhu, go ahead, I’m fine here," Old Mi told his son.

Mi Erhu nodded, but as he glanced at the ferocious-looking Mi Dahu, he couldn’t help but worry. He turned to Shitou and the others and pleaded, "Please stay a bit longer; otherwise, I’m afraid..."

"Don’t worry about calling people; we’ll make sure your father and your spouse are safe."

This time, before Shitou could nod, Lu Yun interjected, agreeing on their behalf. She was actually worried she wouldn’t have a proper excuse to stay and witness the scene. How could she miss such a drama?
