Severing Ties

He was a cripple, and with a walking stick, he could not use any strength. He looked even weaker than Grandpa Shen, and he immediately gained the sympathy of the villagers.

"We don't care about your family's affairs! But what do you say about a group of people bullying a little girl like Shen Wan?"

"Who's the one bullying who? She beat us up like this, but she's fine! Hurry up and pay for our medical fees!" A hooligan with swollen eyes who could barely speak protested.

This was on point. Shen Wan's expression became aggrieved and she said pitifully, "These people are here to kill. They wanted to beat me up at the slightest disagreement, and my grandmother even urged them to kill me. If I wasn't better at fighting, I would have easily been killed by these people! I admit that it was wrong of me to hit him, but I would have died if I didn't fight back! My fellow villagers, I'm lucky enough to be speaking to all of you right now. Please help me!"

This statement attracted the sympathy of the surrounding villagers. Imagine having a crippled father, a bullied young sister, and a weak mother in the house.

It was already not easy for Shen Wan to fight back against these hooligans and not be beaten to death. If they continued to force this pitiful young girl to pay for her medical expenses, were they still human?

Therefore, the villagers all clapped and cheered, "You did well! These people deserve to be beaten!"

"Well, in that case, it's indeed Shen Qiang's family who did things unreasonably. They shouldn't have asked Shen Gang's family for money! How about this, since you're brothers, it's enough that you've fought to this stage. Shen Qiang, don't ask Shen Gang for money in the future. Shen Gang, if they do that, you should let this matter pass!" The village chief said in a deep voice.

However, when Grandpa Shen heard this, he became even angrier. They were all doing this for the sake of money! How was it possible for them to let this matter pass?

Seeing that he could not win the argument against the villagers, he strode over to Shen Gang and raised his hand to slap him. "You unfilial thing! You're letting a group of outsiders bully your parents and brother, I raised you for nothing! I'm going to kill you today no matter what!"

Shen Gang didn't dodge or hide. His heart had completely broken for this father of his. "Hit me all you want! Anyway, you've never treated me as your son!"

In the past, he was completely obedient to Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen. If the two of them were slightly unhappy, they would hit him, and he would silently accept it. Now that Grandpa Shen wanted to hit him again, it was nothing more than to make him feel even more bitterly disappointed. 'So what if they hit me?' Shen Gang thought to himself.

However, the more Shen Gang acted like this, the more Grandpa Shen could not hit him. He was so angry that he blew on his beard and glared at him. He cursed, "If I had known that the Shen family had an unfilial descendant like you, I would have drowned you in a bucket of urine! In the future, I'll treat it as if I don't have a son like you!"

"I think you're treating me like this because I'm not your biological son!" Shen Gang's eyes darkened.

He looked at Grandpa Shen's appearance and only recently felt that it was strange and ridiculous. Even if he was Grandpa Shen's biological son, he did not want to have this father anymore!

Seeing that Grandma Shen and Grandpa Shen were about to continue with their scolding, Shen Gang decided to go all out. He shouted to the surrounding villagers, "Since everyone is here today, I'd like to invite everyone to bear witness to something. I, Shen Gang, will sever my relationship with Shen Qiang and Grandpa Shen as a brother and as a son!"

When he said this, not only were the villagers shocked, even Shen Wan was shocked. She looked at Shen Gang in surprise.

Everyone else thought that Shen Gang had said those words in a moment of anger, but only Shen Gang himself knew that he had actually been thinking about this for a few days.

From the moment he had that dream, Shen Gang seemed to have finally awakened his own thoughts. He no longer blindly listened to his parents and brother. He even began to make his own plans.

After he realized that Grandma Shen and Grandpa Shen had always pampered his older brother and were mean and selfish to him, Shen Gang became extremely disappointed.

Although he suspected that he was not their biological son, he thought of how he could live to such an old age. No matter how bad his life was, Grandma Shen had raised him.

Today, he saw with his own eyes that Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen were eager for the hooligans to beat his daughter to death. They clamored to smash their house and take their money away. Knowing this, his heart completely turned cold.

How were these people ever related to him? They were clearly evil ghosts! If he continued to be entangled with them, their family would only be dragged down to death!
