Chapter 113 Reminder
"You ungrateful children! One does not divide the family estate while the parents are still alive; this is the rule in Qilidun—you—"
Li Dagui never imagined that, at the crucial moment, his two unfilial sons would deliver him a blow.
"Father, I know I am not of your blood, I am the child my mother brought with her! No matter what, I still want to thank you for raising me! I have no other choice, my wife is pregnant, and I need to leave something for my own lineage! Rest assured, we don’t want anything from the family home! We will not take anything except for Xiufang’s dowry; we will leave everything else for you and mother and my little brother!"
Li Jinhu said as he kowtowed again and again to Li Dagui.
Following that, Li Jingou also kowtowed: "Dad, I also don’t want anything, it all stays with you, the old folks! I will go and live with Big Flower at her mother’s house! Please take good care of yourselves in the future!"
Although Li Jingou usually didn’t stand out or talk much, he certainly wasn’t stupid. Why would his elder brother willingly leave everything behind and sever ties with his parents? It was all because of the fear that without dividing the family, living at home would reduce one to a life of servitude to the Wang Family and a lifelong inability to repay the debt of a human life. But even more so, he feared the entire family, including his future children, would never be able to raise their heads in Qilidun again.
Better to leave the house with nothing and be a live-in son-in-law at his wife’s home than to end up in such a sorry state.
Li Dagui felt a rush of blood stuck in his throat. He had seen cuckolded men, but never sons rushing to cuckold their own father.
Who said his eldest and second sons were not of his seed? It was he who had dallied with Wang Daxiu, and the eldest was conceived before marriage, prompting their hasty wedding.
