Wu Yugui left at 2:00
"Occupation?" Tian Wei almost laughed to death. "Old man, didn't you graduate from elementary school? Just now, you all said that it was when you went into prison, your parents drove the three of them out of the house and back to their maternal home. It was my grandfather who formally married Wu Yugui into our family. How could this be occupation? Old man, now I need to tell you, if you don't do anything, no explanation or apology or compensation at all, then it's you who is occupying someone else's wife and children!"
"Pfft! What betrothal gifts are you talking about? It was my mother's family who received them. If you want to get them back, go ask my mother and brothers for it! What does it have to do with me? I came to this household and gave birth to Tianxiang, no merits but hard work. Wu Yuguang shook her head straight away, "Speaking of which, don't be ashamed, what betrothal gifts, weren't they just a chicken, a duck, a pig's trotter, and some cotton cloth?"
Twenty years ago, life was so difficult. People at home couldn't eat or wear enough, how could it be like now when at least food can fill the belly?
Twenty years ago, society was chaotic and the economy was in a downturn. The betrothal gifts that were considered valuable twenty years ago are now being mentioned by Wu Yu-gui as a comparison with today!
Just as they were talking, Tian Xiangxiang arrived. Probably Wu Yugui had already told her about the matter and they had agreed to come here together today to clarify things, so Tian Xiangxiang came along too.
Tian Xiangxiang said straightforwardly that she wanted to acknowledge her ancestors and change her name to Zhang Xiangxiang, and from then on, she would have no more dealings with the Tian family.
As soon as Tian Xiangxiang spoke up, Tian Gui immediately chimed in, saying that he had been penniless for days and now his well-off father who lived in the county town had appeared, how could he possibly stay here?
"Legs are long on your bodies, you want to leave, I can't stop you. I, Tian Mu Chun, have only raised a few heartless white-eyed wolves all these years! You've left, and from now on, I, Tian Mu Chun, will have nothing to do with you. Whether you change your name or go to the county town to eat lobster abalone or whatever, it has nothing to do with me."
"Tian Ma Chun was really heartbroken by these two siblings and Wu Yu Gui. 'Wu Yu Gui, you previously sold all the chickens and ducks at home, now that you're leaving, don't even think about taking anything from this house with you. Hand over the money! And Tian Gui, once you leave, nothing in this house belongs to you anymore - not the land, not the house, nothing.'"
Wu Yugui refused to take out the money in his pocket and shook his head with his hands covering it.
"You're saying these are yours? The piglets were brought back by Lao Da after he earned the money, and the food we fed them was grown on our own land. If you want to leave, then you can't take our family's money. As for the betrothal gifts from when I married you, I don't have the face to go to your family to ask for them back. Forget it!" Tian Ma Chun had already taken a big step back.
Ke Tian Niang's heart was clear: Tian Mao Chun knew that Wu Yu Gui valued money more than life itself, so Tian Mao Chun also wanted to use this method to keep the old lady.
To be honest, Tian Yuan hoped that Wu Yugui would take the children and leave the Tian family as soon as possible. However, if we put ourselves in Tian Maocun's shoes and think from his perspective...
Tian Mu Chun values relationships and family ties. The children who grew up in front of him are his own, born to him and his wife after marriage. Even if they're not perfect, he won't truly abandon them. As a family, being together is at least a reunion, a lively gathering.
