Chapter 104: Chapter 102 Unworthy of Your Call 2 [400+ Votes]

——————

"Tie Dan, haven’t you gone to school? Have all the basic manners and virtues of filial piety been lost on you? The children don’t know any better, but do you not know either? Or do you and your wife wish to curse me and your old mother to die early?"

Seeing his eldest daughter-in-law still looking like a bullied Little White Flower, Xie Tiesheng angrily scolded them by name in a harsh voice.

"Father-in-law..." Xu Xiaofang called out nervously and in pain, but was silenced by Xie Tiesheng’s sweeping hand gesture that startled her back into silence.

"Don’t you dare call me ’father-in-law’! Grandson, Xiao’er, Xiao Wu, follow Grandpa to offer incense sticks, then go home with Grandpa! Tie Dan, from now on, you stay here with your wife, I don’t need a son who steals from within his own family!"

Xie Tiesheng pulled one grandson by each hand. Although he was furious, he did not lose his manners and shout at the funeral, embarrassing himself. Direct and unpleasant as his words were, he finally gave face to the mourning of the Xu Family and really did take several grandsons back home after offering incense sticks.

The close relatives of the Xu Family, upon hearing Xie Tiesheng’s words, all looked unhappy. This was indeed a mistake on Xu Family’s daughter’s part; where do you see a daughter-in-law performing the heavy filial piety rituals for her mother-in-law? Xu Family isn’t a son, and Xie Jingwei is not taking sons-in-law; this is really... What an utter mess!

"Dad—" Xie Tiesheng, hearing his father’s words, turned pale with fright, panickingly shouting and about to follow his father’s step but was stopped by Xu Xiaofen grabbing his arm, suddenly hearing her crying heartbreakingly softly, "Brother Wei..."

She was truly crying, her heart aching. After all, the deceased was her own mother, who although favored her brother a bit more, was still decent to her and her sister, otherwise, she would not have devoted herself to being filial.

Seeing her father-in-law walking away and her husband being so indifferent to her, how could she bear such treatment? Over the years, having been sincerely treated by her husband and having obedient children, marrying into the Xie Family was like falling into a pit of fortune for her.

However, she did not expect that, although her parents-in-law usually let her do as she pleased, when it came to issues of lineage and inheritance, the elders wouldn’t easily let things slide!

Now, because of her overestimation and folly, Xu Xiaofen will have to pay a big price for this act in the future.

In old-fashioned thinking, performing the rituals of heavy filial piety is not something to be taken lightly—just consider, with your parents still alive, if you perform heavy filial piety for someone else, how will you treat your own parents who gave birth to you? Not to mention, just the idle gossip from the villagers is enough to make anyone suffer.

Just being looked at with a ’white-eyed wolf’ gaze a few times, and the psychological pressure would be far from light.

With his eldest son being so thoughtless, Xie Tiesheng angrily pulled the two grandsons and the eldest granddaughter. In less than half an hour, they returned home. Before reaching his own courtyard, he controlled his emotions and then spoke to the grandchildren with a sad face:

"Grandson, Xiao’er, Xiao Wu, when you get home, don’t talk recklessly with your grandma. Your grandma hasn’t been well recently; she can’t withstand bad luck. Don’t let her hear too much of the Xu Family’s woes, understand?"

"Yes, Grandpa, we won’t talk carelessly," Xiao Yi responded, nodding along with his brother and sister.

Xiao’er, already in fourth grade, clearly understood the meaning behind Grandpa’s words. Seeing how serious Grandpa and his big brother were, he too silently nodded.

Only Xiao Wu, just six years old and in another era would still be an innocent child who only wanted sweets. But in this era, a six-year-old child could already help adults with simple chores they were capable of.

Although Xiao Wu was still a bit confused and bewildered, being obedient was in her nature. As a girl in the main branch, she was not favored by her biological mother, Xu Xiaofen, but since she was the first granddaughter among the younger generation, grandma Zhou Xiuhua still loved her dearly. This made the young Xiao Wu respect her grandparents greatly. Hearing that talking would make grandma uncomfortable, she nodded earnestly with wide eyes.

A pair of moist, big eyes obediently stared at Grandpa, a look of ’I’m a good baby’ on her face:

"Grandpa, Xiao Wu is very behaved, I won’t talk recklessly." Xie Yuling’s big eyes, having been held by the hand and led all the way by her second brother, hurt a little at the wrist, with teardrops hanging at the corners.

Xiao Yi saw his sister constantly touching her wrist, knowing that because Xiao Wu had short legs and small steps, she must have been hurt by being pulled along by Xiao’er. He felt annoyed with himself; if he had noticed earlier, his little sister wouldn’t have been hurt.

Xiao’er, who was younger than him, hadn’t realized that his actions could hurt his younger sister, which was excusable. Being the older brother, he hadn’t noticed it himself, let alone Xiao’er who was even younger.

"Xiao Wu is good." Xie Tiesheng saw his granddaughter’s behavior, and saw his oldest grandson guiltily picking up Xiao Wu, his heart felt relieved, and his typically stern demeanor gradually calmed down.

This back and forth, he hadn’t been out long, and now bringing his grandchildren back home, his wife was sure to worry a lot!

"Let’s go, Grandpa will take you to the ancestral hall to calm down." Xie Tiesheng thought of just having attended a funeral service, and couldn’t visit other people’s homes, which would bring bad luck.

With no other choice, he could only lead his two grandsons and granddaughter to the Xie Family Ancestral Hall with a heavy heart.

Luckily it wasn’t much farther, just about an extra ten minutes walk.

Xie Tiesheng didn’t realize he hadn’t entered his own courtyard, but others had already noticed his whereabouts.

Zhang Shan Ni was originally in the backyard with her mother-in-law weeding the vegetable garden, while Xiao Liu was playing with earthworms using a small hoe, deeply engrossed and enjoying himself. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

With a hoe in her hand, weeding out the wild grass, her ears keenly caught the sound of approaching footsteps, and not just one person’s footsteps, she listened carefully and recognized: one adult with three children.

Immediately, hearing noises approaching the gate, Zhang Shan Ni instinctively used her spiritual power to check the situation, and fortunately heard the entire conversation between Xie Tiesheng and the children.

Father-in-law had barely left the house before returning angrily with the grandchildren, clearly something at the Xu Family had upset him greatly, making him lose his composure. He couldn’t even tell his mother-in-law, fearing that it might upset the old lady and trigger her illness...

Definitely not good news. Zhang Shan Ni promptly and decisively concluded. Hearing the footsteps stop briefly then gradually fading, and given the courtyard wall was several dozen meters from where she was, her father-in-law had specifically lowered his voice, so she was not worried about the old lady hearing them.

"Mom, we’re going to the county town tomorrow, what should we prepare to take to elder sister’s house?" Zhang Shan Ni didn’t slow her movements; while listening, she had already cleared the weed pile in the vegetable garden once.

This waste weed, in a farming household, isn’t wasted. Once naturally sun-dried, it can be used as kindling or burned to ash for even greater use. At the very least, it can serve as primitive farm manure.

"Ah, Mom has thought it over, haven’t we just smoked some wild rabbit meat? Let’s take two pieces, along with some salted vegetables, fish jerky, and prepare some dried vegetables and mountain mushrooms, that should be quite enough." Zhou Xiuhua replied promptly and efficiently without even thinking after hearing her daughter-in-law’s question.
