Half Buried

"Sever ties? Gang Shen, you... Are you really going to do this?" When she heard the usually weak Shen Gang say such harsh words, Grandma Shen was shocked and looked at Shen Gang in disbelief.

If they really cut off all ties with Shen Gang, where would they get the pork and eggs for New Year? Where would Shen Shu get the money for his wife?

Without Shen Gang, they would lose a lot of benefits! In any case, Grandma Shen was just saying it out of anger just now. She would never agree to it!

"Shen Gang, are you sure you want to cut off all ties with your brother and your father? Breaking off relations meant that there would be no more contact! You can't enter the Shen family's ancestral grave in the future, and you'll be removed from the Shen family's genealogy!" The village chief's expression turned grave.

He had been in charge of the village affairs for so many years, and it was rare for him to encounter such a situation where someone was determined to cut off all ties with their family.

In his dream, Grandma Shen, Grandpa Shen, didn't even care if he was alive. Would he care if he entered the ancestral grave? Shen Gang was very disdainful of this. Moreover, he was very likely not his biological son, and his name might not even be on the genealogy!

Therefore, Shen Gang agreed without thinking. "Of course, I-"

"Dad, wait!" At the crucial moment, Shen Wan suddenly interrupted.

Although she was very pleased that Shen Gang had grown a spine, she had to consider many other aspects. If he rashly and forcefully cut off his relationship with Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen, the matters between them would never be cleared up!

"Our family is going to cut off all ties with these relatives, but not now. First of all, my uncle has to return the seven thousand dollars that he borrowed from my family! Also, all the meat, vegetables, and other things that you've taken from our house during this period of time must be returned! Once the debt is settled, only then can we go our separate ways!" Shen Wan emphasized as she looked directly at the guilty-looking Shen Qiang and the other two.

Seeing that Shen Gang was still somewhat indignant, Shen Wan quickly whispered in his ear, "Dad, if you're really not their biological son, then we have to investigate what happened that year and make a DNA report. We can cut off all ties with them when we have enough evidence so that they won't deny it!"

"Shen Wan, you're right. I didn't think this through."

Shen Gang also understood Shen Wan's meaning. He nodded and said apologetically to the village chief, "I've thought about it. When they pay off what they owe our family, I'll ask you to be the witness!"

"Okay, that's fine too. Since we've made things clear… Everyone here, don't stay in Shen Gang's house anymore. Hurry up and leave!" The village chief waved his hand, signaling for Grandma Shen and the rest to leave quickly.

After being laughed at by the villagers, Grandma Shen knew that they were not in the right. The villagers would definitely not help them. Now that things had come to this, they could only leave!

However, they would not let Shen Gang's family off so easily!

Grandma Shen patted the dust off her bottom and glared viciously at Shen Wan. She said hatefully, "Little brat, just you wait!"

The more Grandma Shen stared at her with hatred, the brighter Shen Wan's smile became. She fearlessly replied, "Sure, I'll wait. I don't know if someone with a vicious mouth like that can survive until then though."

"You!" Grandma Shen almost bit her tongue. Finally, she spat on the ground and dragged Grandpa Shen away in a huff.

Seeing that Shen Qiang and the other hooligans were still unwilling to leave, Shen Wan picked up the broom and loudly said, "Uncle, you haven't paid back the seven thousand dollars you owe us. It's been many years. Since you're so ruthless, you should quickly collect it and pay it back! Otherwise, when I come to ask for it in a few days, I'm going to make a scene again!"

"Bullsh*t! Who that f*ck owes your family seven thousand dollars huh?" Shen Qiang's eyes dodged as he deliberately said shamelessly.

"Our family has the receipt and the note. If you want to renege on the debt, we can just go to court. Though that'll just be a little more troublesome, your family definitely won't escape!" Shen Wan raised her head and looked at Shen Qiang in disdain.

"Stinky girl..." The hooligans helped one another up as they stumbled. Chai Jin had been beaten into a pulp, especially his lower body which had been kicked by Shen Wan. At this moment, he could only bow like a shrimp and did not forget to curse Shen Wan in a low voice before he left.
