The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 136 - 132: Mrs. Xiao: Ah! I Have an Epiphany

Chapter 136: Chapter 132: Mrs. Xiao: Ah! I Have an Epiphany

Xiao Chenxing had unconditional trust in Mrs. Xiao. Hearing this, she immediately rushed out.

Hongguo was worried, "Sis, I’ll go follow and check on her."

Xiao Chenxing had a fiery temper usually, and now encountering a matter, Hongguo was truly afraid she might not think it through and do something wrong.

"Mm, be careful."

"Alright."

The figures of the two disappeared from sight together. Xiao Chendong looked at Hongguo’s back with a thoughtful expression and inquired, "Mom, who is that girl?"

Mrs. Xiao sat back down to sort the beans, not even raising her head, "She’s also your ancestor."

Xiao Chendong: "..."

He was choked up and couldn’t speak.

After a while, thinking he had found a safe distance, he sat down and began to inquire about what happened during Mrs. Xiao’s trip to the Northwest.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Mrs. Xiao’s mouth was like a clam. No matter how Xiao Chendong subtly tried to ask for half the day, Mrs. Xiao remained tight-lipped.

She simply didn’t make a sound.

Over time, Xiao Chendong gave up.

He slowly moved closer to Mrs. Xiao, squatted there, and only helped sort beans after confirming she wasn’t going to hit him.

From beginning to end, Wen Ran watched quietly without saying a word.

"Mom, I know over the years, you and Dad have had grievances against me," Xiao Chendong switched tactics, trying to gain sympathy, "but I didn’t want things to be this way either.

I’ve started my own family too, and I have my own household to support. Constantly aiding you two elders, wouldn’t that scatter my own family?"

"Don’t say such ungrateful words," Mrs. Xiao wasn’t buying it, "We didn’t take even the slightest advantage of you, your father and I.

The job was arranged through our efforts, the money for your marriage came from us. Even when your wife gave birth, we always visited with gifts, never empty-handed."

"Yes, all of this is good, but isn’t this what being parents is supposed to do?"

"Pfft~"

Wen Ran couldn’t hold it in and covered her mouth to laugh.

This person’s face is as thick as a city wall.

He takes things from his parents as something they should do.

When it’s his turn to show filial piety to his parents, it’s as if his parents can’t take any advantage of him, otherwise it would ruin his small family.

In the end, all the good things in the world would be his alone.

Xiao Chendong, despite his embarrassment, didn’t forget to complain, "Who are you? What are you laughing at?"

"Not only are you slow-witted, but your face is thick, and you don’t listen," Wen Ran said with a smile, "Didn’t Aunt just tell you? I’m your ancestor, why? Can’t remember?"

"You..."

Wen Ran interrupted Xiao Chendong, "Oh right, right, right, I’m your dad." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Seeing Xiao Chendong deflated, Mrs. Xiao also laughed, "Alright, really don’t want to say much more to you, didn’t we make it very clear last time?

From now on, let’s go our separate ways, as if I never gave birth to you, and you act like your parents are dead."

"Mom, don’t be like this..."

Mrs. Xiao had long since come to terms, in this world, not all mother and son relationships have that kind of familial bond.

"You like your grandparents, I don’t like them, I even hate them. When I see you, it’s just like seeing them."

Mrs. Xiao spoke very calmly, "I’m not joking with you, I have many sons, many daughters, some are filial, some are not.

I can’t occupy all the good things in the world alone."

At the door, Mr. Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, "My wife is right, we can’t occupy all the good things for us two old folks."

"Dad..." Xiao Chendong stood up, flustered and with a slightly bitter smile on his face, "What do you mean by this?"

"Take it literally," Mr. Xiao looked at that face so much like his old man’s, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of disgust, "Let’s cut ties, from now on, we don’t know each other.

Also, you don’t have to worry about me taking this large group of brothers and sisters to eat and drink from your household."

"Dad!"

Xiao Chendong couldn’t believe it, "I don’t want to! Why should we cut ties? I’m the eldest, I have to take care of you in your old age!"

He emphasized, "If we cut ties, won’t that mean I’m forcing everyone to point fingers at my backbone?"

"Stop with the useless talk," Mr. Xiao waved his hand and directed Xiao Chenxing, who was beside him, "Star, don’t just stand there, go inside and get pen and paper, while today is still a good day, let’s handle this."

"Alright!"

When it comes to this, Xiao Chenxing didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Cut ties!

Quickly and swiftly.

With Xiao Chenxing entering the house to grab supplies, Xiao Chendong still couldn’t accept the reality, repeatedly emphasizing that he is the eldest, he has to provide for them in old age, and begged Mr. and Mrs. Xiao not to treat him like this.

Looking at Xiao Chendong, Wen Ran quickly turned her mind and suddenly asked, "You always emphasize you’re the eldest, wouldn’t that mean you want to hold Uncle and Aunt at ransom with the promise of providing for them?"

Thinking even darker, this bastard might be eyeing the old couple’s savings too.

Xiao Chendong swallowed, feeling a bit guilty under Wen Ran’s gaze, "What ransom? We’re all family."

"Spare me, who is your family!"

While Mrs. Xiao was arguing with Xiao Chendong, over there, Mr. Xiao, Xiao Chenxing, and the village chief were huddled together, already contemplating the format of a letter to cut ties.

"Oh come on, just copy this," the village chief pulled out a paper from his pocket, "Here, a template from a few years ago."

Xiao Chenxing felt liberated, took the letter to cut ties, and started copying enthusiastically.

The village chief watched and didn’t forget to correct as needed, "Right, it’s not enough to just write the letter, it has to be published in the newspaper, otherwise it’s all for nothing."

Wen Ran: "?"

She was confused and leaned over, "This has to be published in the newspaper too?"

"Yes," the village chief said confidently, "if you don’t publish it, who will know you’ve cut ties? What if it’s just a sham?"

Wen Ran was dumbfounded, "I cut ties with those old ones before, but I never published it."

"Oh my dear," the village chief was also overwhelmed, "why didn’t you say so earlier."

"I thought writing the letter was enough."

"Enough my foot! Thankfully nothing’s happened yet, there’s still time," the village chief patted his chest, "Hurry up, get that letter of yours, and we’ll publish it with the Xiao family’s."

"Alright!"

With the discussion about publishing in the newspaper underway, Xiao Chendong was utterly panicked, "No way! I don’t agree to cut ties."

"Agree my ass," Mrs. Xiao cursed, "Do you have a say in this?"

"Then I won’t sign."

Xiao Chendong stubbornly refused to budge, still pretending to be deeply attached to motherly affection, repeating that he has his difficulties, which made Mrs. Xiao jump with anger.

Seeing this, Wen Ran tugged at Mrs. Xiao, "Auntie, are you really not going to want this son?"

"What? Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, but it’s a bit shady."

Mrs. Xiao was delighted, "I’m only afraid it’s not shady enough, tell me."

Wen Ran whispered in Mrs. Xiao’s ear, and Mrs. Xiao’s gaze gradually became wise.

Clearly, under Wen Ran’s guidance, she had an epiphany.
