Chapter 212 - 107: Severing Ties
"Alright, since Uncle and Aunt are so insistent, then we will do as you both wish! Uncle and Aunt, don’t forget what you’ve said today! I, Sang Yufei, swear that from now on I shall never set foot in your house again!" Sang Yufei bowed deeply as he spoke: "All my fellow villagers bear witness! It’s not that Yufei is unfilial; it is truly that Uncle and Aunt are unbearably bullying!"
"What are you saying you!" Sang Pingliang and Mrs. Li couldn’t wait a moment longer, pulling Sang Yufei towards Li Zheng’s house.
Suddenly, Sang Pingliang stopped in his tracks, casting an indifferent glance towards Sang Hong and the others, and said: "In your family, only Miss Wan is worthy! Only that child, Miss Wan, is endearing. You all, hmph!"
Upon hearing this, the hearts of Sang Hong and Sang Yufei turned utterly cold. Indeed, Miss Wan married into a good family, so of course Uncle wouldn’t deny her. But even as her own brothers, they were looked down upon in his eyes!
How shameless and opportunistic can one be to reach this extent!
"Fine!" Sang Hong said with a bitter smile: "Since that’s the case, let’s make a clean break between our two houses once and for all! From today onwards, there shall be no further connection! Uncle and Aunt, you had better not lecture us ever again!"
Even Sang Hong, to be uttering such words, truly made the onlookers sigh.
"That would be best! I’m tired of worrying over you, unappreciated kindness!" Sang Pingliang snorted. After a moment, he added: "From now on, in our main family, I only acknowledge Miss Wan as my niece! Only that child, Miss Wan, is worthy of affection!"
The villagers had initially wanted to persuade them, but hearing this, they too couldn’t help feeling contempt.
"Miss Wan deserving of affection?" When Miss Wan was still at home, they hadn’t seen them show affection for her. There were plenty of remarks about her betrothal. The one who often said things like, "One day she’ll be discarded by the Shi family; she doesn’t realize how inadequate she is to even dream of marrying into a family like the Shi’s" was none other than Mrs. Li!
People couldn’t help but think that this Sang couple from the second house were really despicable. Now that the relationship between the two houses was severed, it could be a relief. Each could go their own way without the need to endure the other’s idle chatter, and perhaps without the bad luck, they might even prosper sooner. Thus, everyone escorted the members of both houses to Li Zheng’s.
