Since Ling Jingwei was sent away, the big son had ripped open the face with the old couple. Now in their hearts, they were already like outsiders. So what he should and shouldn't say, what he could and couldn't say, now he could all say them out, totally didn't care whether he'd irritate the old man, or even only wishing he would let them move out.
“You…The shared money is all my money, and I can give my money to whoever I want. You ungrateful thing! Chenghu is your younger brother!”
The old man was furious, finger tremblingly pointing at him, an old face turning all crimson. Ling Jinghong who was serving aside came forward to help him smoothen his breaths, while casting a light glance at his parents, no blame, no resentment, completely like looking at a stranger.
“Even if he is my younger brother, so what? It wasn't I who sent him to the yamen? Jingwei is your grandson, how did you treat him? If you can leave my son alone, why should I care about yours? Father, if you don't like it, you can throw us out. From now on, we'll live on our own!”
Ling Chengcai was ready to risk it all. On thinking that whether his son would survive was still uncertain, he got endless resentment generating in the heart. That year, the old could took his big son to raise by their side, resulting in that till now his big son wasn't intimate with him at all. Finally they had Jingwei, and they planned to count on him in the future. But as a result, they sent him to the battlefield while he was still in the worst mood. In his remaining years, he might have no chance to see his son come back alive.
“Well, you want to divide up the family, right? OK!”
Ling Qiyun was super mad. He turned around and sat next to Ling Qicai, “Qicai, you happen to be here today. You be the witness. I will divide up the family completely!”
Ling Chengcai and his wife felt ecstasy in the heart and felt relieved. Finally they got what they wanted, but…
“Big brother, are you out of your mind? Now is the time to split up? We tried to persuade you when Chenghu was asking to live alone, but you just wouldn't listen, and now you want to follow the same old disastrous road again?”
In his heart, Ling Qicai did not want to get involved with their family stuff anymore, pity that, they were born with the same roots, honor one and you honor them all, and injure one and you injure them all. If his big brother's family became the laughing stock of the whole village, how could he escape? Next year, his little son Ling Chenggui, who was studying in the townt, would take part in the xiucai examination. If people knew about this, how could he raise his head in front of everyone?
“Then I…I'll wait until I save Chenghu out.”
Reflexively, the old man tried to diss back, suddenly he thought of Ling Chenglong's family, so he decisively swallowed those words back. Seeing that, Ling Chengcai anxiously said, “Dad, how can you go back on your words?”
If not now, when he calmed down, he probably would never have a chance.
“You dog thing, I have the final say whether to divide up the family or not! It's never your turn to say no! If you want to leave this home, you can learn from Chenglong and move out. I have no objection!”
After being slightly calmer, Ling Qiyun mercilessly threw his big son a hard stare. Why did he raise such an ungrateful and unfilial thing?
On hearing that he had to move out, Ling Chengcai decisively shut up, he would like it, but, he just did not want to move out penniless like Ling Chenglong.
“Why don't you go get the money now?”
After nailing the big son, Ling Qiyun yelled at the old woman. Saving people is like saving fire. However useless Ling Chenghu was, that was their son. How could they watch him sent into the tiger's den without doing anything?
“Is it easy for us to save that little money? If you use it to save Chenghu, how will we live then? Chenghua hasn't been married!”
Wearing that painful look, the old lady didn't mean to stand up at all. Now Ling Chenghua's reputation had been totally ruined, and she dare not count on her to marry into some big family, only wishing that she could find a good family if she could save as much dowry for her. But now Ling Chenghu was being sent to the yamen. How could that little money be enough? Anyhow, it wouldn't be some capital crime. She'd rather her son suffer a bit than wasting so much money.

“Chenghua, Chenghua, only Chenghua is your flesh, while Chenghu is not? Who still hasn't heard about her bad reputation throughout the few villages around? Do you still expect someone would marry her? You silly old woman, did you see it clearly or not? We can only count on our sons now!”Seeing that, Ling Qiyun pointed at his daughter accompanying the old lady and said bluntly. When other family's daughter got her reputation ruined, she'd either kill herself or hide in her own room all day long. But what about his daughter? She had resumed how she had performed before and even secretly ran out recently and no one knew what she was doing. If it hadn't been his wife, he had already thrown her out.
“Mom…”
Ling Chenghua choked with grievances hiding behind the old lady, which broke the old lady's heart. She held her and threw Ling Qiyun dagger eyes, “Count on our sons? Which of them do you think we can count on? Huh? Chengcai only thinks about dividing up the family. And Chenghu, needless to say, a total unfilial thing who should be struck by lightning and split into two halves. And Chenghu? Now he is sent to the yamen! To count on them is no better count on ourselves!”
Like being possessed, the old lady just blindly defended her daughter, no wonder her sons were all so unfilial!
“You…you…I'll go get it myself.”
Ling Qiyun got so pissed off. He directly turned to go into the room, while the old woman showed a nearly unnoticeable sneer. These years, all the belongings of this family were in her hands. Without her, no one could find those things.
“Big brother, I guess there wouldn't be any result here. I gotta go. Tell Jinghong to call me when you go somewhere.”
Ling Qicai, who had a full view of everything, got up and shouted to the open door. He didn't wait for the answer from inside, and just went away. He really didn't want to get involved in his big brother's family thing.
“Qicai, Qicai…”
When the old man chased out, Ling Qicai's figure had already disappeared at the gate, he turned back and stared at the old woman who was holding her daughter to appease her. He sighed deeply and then went into the room again.
“Grandma, please save daddy, he is your son.”
Ling Chenghu's three sons walked into the room and straightly knelt in front of the old lady, they heard about their parents. Now their dad was sent to the yamen, while their mom was wrapping herself in her quilt, shivering. They could only come to the old couple for help.
“Go away! What's the big deal? The yamen is not opened by that son of a bitch! Your dad will only receive some reproach from Lord Magistrate at most. No big deal. Go back to your room!”
The old lady was not budged at all, waved a hand impatient to let them leave. The biggest son Ling Jingren darkened his eyes, secretly signaled his two younger brother with an eye, and the three of them backed out silently. Seeing here, Ling Jinghong who had been keeping silent turned to go back to his own room. To this family, he had no attachment. And now that scene made him even more disappointed.
