Chapter 1217 I will divorce you if you stayed
Master Ma was not lying, he was just as poor as Ye Zexian and his husband, and such burns needed more than ten to twenty taels to heal. He had done what he could, however, such as inviting the village physician, who shook her head and told him that these burns that Zi Zan received were far too severe and they needed to take him to the town hospital.
That was when Old Master Zi slipped back into his house and locked the doors, he was acting as if he pretended not to see anything everything would be fine. Even if it meant that his granddaughter died.
After seeing, Old Master Zi's cruelty many mers, men and women were speechless and heartbroken for Zi Mu and Ye Zexian. Everyone knew that Zi Mu and Ye Zexian were the ones who worked the hardest while the rest of the Zi family was waiting to eat.
Old Madam Zi did work in the fields, but she did not put her money in the common account of the family and the entire family was supported by Zi Mu who was given the smallest fruit farm to raise while the two brothers had three to four mus of land.
When Ye Zexian heard that Old Master Zi refused to pay money for his daughter's treatment, he felt anger surge in his heart. His eyes flared up as he pushed himself off the ground and headed to the main house of the Zi family.
As soon as he arrived at the main house, he kicked the door as hard as he could before shouting, "You filthy, cruel beasts! Zi Mu worked so hard for you all, while you all ate and slept like pigs! Now that his daughter is in this condition, you are burying your necks? I am telling you that this is not going to work!"
"You either cough out ten taels of silver or else I am separating from this family! I don't even need you to sign the documents! My sister-in-law knows the magistrate, I will ask her for help, you hear me!"
"Come out, you beasts!" Ye Zexian kicked the door once more. But when there was no sound, he whipped around and looked at Zi Mu before saying, "You see this? These are your family members! The one you raised with your blood and sweat! Look at them!" He screeched at the end of his sentence.
Even Zi Mu was heartbroken when she saw how unappreciative and ruthless his family members were being. No matter what Zi Zan had given them a lot of money by working for four years in that restaurant, they could most definitely take out ten taels, so why were they acting like this? Was the life of his daughter not worth ten taels?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Mother, father… I am with Ye Zexian this time. If you do not take out the money, then we are separating," Zi Mu stated coldly. His eyes were filled with a burning fire, while his hands were clenched in fists as he looked at the closed door. "And even if you refuse, I would rather burn the fruit farm and then leave the village than stay with you!"
This time around, Zi Zan was really disappointed in his family. It was one thing that they were unable to help, but it was a completely different thing, if they could help but refused to do it.
Inside the house, Zi De looked at his father and asked, "Daddy, should we open the door? Ah Mu and Zexian sounds serious."
"Elder brother is right, Daddy," said Zi Zexi with a frown on his face. "Ah Mu does not sound like he is talking nonsense."
Old Master Zi however cracked the sunflower seeds and popped them in his mouth. He did not take Ye Zexian or Zi Mu seriously. He had suppressed them for so long, how dare they go against him, and Yu Dong was acquainted with county magistrate Li? Haha, that was the biggest joke that he had ever heard.
Ye Zexian needed to at least think carefully before lying.
He waved his hand and then said, "You are thinking too much. The two of them cannot do anything to us. Anyway, what should I do after opening the door? Are you going to hand them ten taels?" He questioned his sons, who lowered their heads and closed their mouths.
Seeing them like this, he snickered and said, "That's right. Ten taels could bring our family a lot of meat and water, have you not seen how much water we need to water our field? If we take out ten taels now, then who is going to water your fields?" Continue reading at empire
Old Master Zi wasn't concerned about Zi Mu as he was the youngest. More importantly, he gave Old Master Zi a hard time when he was giving birth to Zi Mu. If not for the fact that he had done some good deeds, he would have died that day. This was why Old Master Zi could never love Zi Mu as that bastard with his chubby body almost killed him!
And he thought that with the amount of suppressing he had done, there was no way Zi Mu or Ye Zexian would go against him.
However, he underestimated the love of a parent for their child. Just because he was calculative and held grudges did not mean that Zi Mu was the same. He loved his daughter more than anything, what was more Ye Zexian also had a tough time giving birth to Zi Zan, but contrary to Old Master Zi who believed that Zi Mo got his comeuppance, the two of them loved Zi Zan more than anything.
Thus, when they saw that Old Master Zi was not opening the door, their anger turned even more intense. Ye Zexian turned to look at his husband and yelled, "Zi Mu! If you dare stay in this family after this, then I will divorce you! I will leave you!"
Zi Mu also felt as if he had let his husband and daughter down before turning on his heels and marching out of the house. They dared to think that he was joking, and then he would make them see whether he was joking.
