Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1206: Oddballs

Li Shuxin sneered, "How can this have nothing to do with us? Don’t come back anymore; there’s nothing for you here.Because of you, you’re forcing Mom and Dad to divorce today. Li Shuxin, I won’t acknowledge you from now on.

You think working outside will solve everything? People like you, it’s the same wherever you go."

Li Shuzhi, hearing this, immediately swung his hand over.

If it were before, Shuxin might have just dodged and let it go. But this time was different—they were only a year apart—so fighting wasn’t a big deal for him, and he directly went for it, the two ending up wrestling on the ground.

Li Shuwen watched as Third Brother was about to suffer and couldn’t stand it; now even Dad no longer acknowledges Second Brother.

So he ran outside, grabbed a thick stick from beside the stove, and rushed into the room, swinging it at Li Shuzhi.

He couldn’t possibly be a match for the two of them alone. Seeing things weren’t going well, he dashed out the door, shouting as he went.

Though the young brothers fought Li Shuzhi, they still felt terrible.

Shuxin directly locked the door, and the brothers lay on the kang; from now on, they would be kids without a mom.

Li Shuzhi tried to open the door, but couldn’t, so he cursed a few times outside. He didn’t dare go to Dad’s room, heading straight for Big Brother’s room instead.

Lying on the kang, with a hazy smile on his face. He’s now officially employed, never having to work again.

His mind was full of dreams about a future life, not considering at all that the family was already falling apart.

Li Yunqiang inside the room had heard the brothers fighting, but he didn’t want to intervene. Let it be, tomorrow he’ll send Second Brother to the pesticide factory. In just a few days, he’ll be able to go to the city and be free from annoyance.

Lying alone on the kang, he felt lonely. Actually, if Liu Cuilan hadn’t proposed the divorce, life would just go on like this.

After all, he had loved her for so many years. Although he felt hurt, he didn’t want her to leave at this age.

But she shouted at him, and disregarding the kids, demanded money from him, making Li Yunqiang feel that divorce was quite good.

Xiang Dong and the others arrived at the Liu Family’s door, and he helped carry things inside.

Liu Cuilan grabbed him, "Xiang Dong, when are you buying a house in the city? It’s not realistic for me to live at your grandmother’s house long-term.

People will surely resent me. Hurry up and buy a house; I’ll move there."

"Mom, I don’t have money; when I came back, I gave my salary to Dad."

"How’s that possible?"

"Mom, don’t you know how much money we have? Every month Dad buys you brown sugar, buys you snacks to eat because you think raising chickens is dirty, so we don’t have chickens at home, and you want to eat eggs—all these cost money. I gave Dad a total of two hundred yuan when I returned.

Now I only have a few dozen yuan left, so how could I buy a house?"

Liu Cuilan was truly struck; she had hoped that even if she left home, she could live with Xiang Dong in the city.

Lu Fengzhen was also from the village, but after living in the city for less than two years, she became beautiful, much younger. That’s why she agreed to divorce.

Otherwise, Li Yunqiang surely wouldn’t let her go to the city to live with the eldest son.

But now she’s told she can’t afford a house in the city, so what could she do?

She knew her brothers at home couldn’t really support her as a sister; she couldn’t stay at her parents’ house long-term.

"Xiang Dong, what should I do in the future?"

"Mom, why did you divorce Dad? Wasn’t it just to live in the city?"

Liu Cuilan said nothing.

Xiang Dong was utterly furious. What kind of person is this?

"Mom, even if I have money to buy a house in the future, I won’t let you live there; think about how you’re going to live your life?"

"You’re my son; why won’t you let me live in the city?"

"Because you divorced Dad, no longer part of the Li Family, and I’m the one you gave birth to, I’ll take care of you after sixty, but by then if you want to live in the city, I’ll discuss with a few brothers. We’ll arrange shifts for you to live there."

"Xiang Dong, how can you be like this? I’m your mom."

"Precisely because you’re my mom; otherwise, I wouldn’t even bother with you. You divorced Dad just to live in the city."

Xiang Dong was truly angry, and turned away, leaving without helping carry things inside.

Their mother-son conversation was heard by everyone, and the Liu family’s eldest sister-in-law snorted, "Lanzi, it’s not that as a sister-in-law I can’t accommodate you, you can stay at most ten days, then it’s up to you; we won’t host you.

Besides, because of your divorce, if bad rumors spread, how will your niece get married in the future?

If the girls in our family can’t find a good home because of you, I’ll tear you apart."

The other two sisters-in-law also stood by the eldest sister-in-law; they shared the same opinion.

Old Mrs. Liu, hearing her daughter’s and grandson’s words, felt like fainting was a better option. It’s so foolish; even having this thought, you shouldn’t say it to your son.

Now she couldn’t stay at her parents’ house anymore; she felt like a useless old person, daughter-in-law wouldn’t listen to her.

The elderly woman shakily approached Xiang Dong, "Xiang Dong ah, you know what kind of person your mom is, no matter what. She’s still your mom."

"Grandma, I know, when she gets older, I’ll take care of her."

Old Mrs. Liu sighed, those once enviable good days are stubbornly lived like this. The tractor unloaded all the things and left, Changhe driving away; he found Fourth Uncle’s family interesting, turns out Fourth Aunt’s divorce was just to live in the city?

Upon arriving home, Changhe asked Xiang Dong to go home, he’d return the car himself.

Xiang Dong pushed the door open into the yard, suddenly finding everything desolate, no longer feeling that warmth when returning home from afar.

He shook his head, yet he should still go lie down a bit, tomorrow they’ll start moving; there should be a lot of trivial tasks.

But entering the room, seeing Second Brother lying in his bed, his anger flared.

He directly snatched back his quilt.

"Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Xiang Dong didn’t bother responding. He also pulled back his mattress, undressed, and lay down.

Li Shuzhi had no bedding and felt very cold. He had no choice but to put on his cotton coat.

He couldn’t return to his own room; the door was shut, and he had no bedding.

"Big Brother, can you get the Third Brother to open the door so I can get my beddings?"

"If you make another sound, you’re going out."

This shut Li Shuzhi up. He knew Big Brother’s temper; normally easygoing, but not when provoked, otherwise he might get beaten.

So he grasped Big Brother’s cotton coat, barely covering himself. He didn’t know what time it was, but dawn should be approaching.
