Chapter 68: A Shameless Family

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Xie Laogen suddenly remembered what Lu Jiao once said to him, “As long as you don’t regret this one day.”

He didn’t expect this day to come so quickly. Even he himself felt embarrassed.

Beside him, Lady Ruan stared her down. As if she heard nothing, she walked into the living room.

Lu Jiao accompanied them to the east bedroom. Behind Lady Ruan, Chen Liu saw that Lu Jiao didn’t greet her and angrily demanded, “Third sister-in-law, do you not want us here?”

Lu Jiao turned her head, “We are a family that has been shunned out. How do we dare not welcome honorable guests like you?”

The sarcasm in that sentence turned Chen Liu’s face black.

Xie Daqiang stared at Lu Jiao angrily, “Just what do you want for you to speak to us like this? Mom and dad have their reasons for doing what they do. As an outsider, why do you use that tone?”

Before Lu Jiao could answer, lady Tian walked out and said to Xie Daqiang.

“The eldest, you have taken advantage of my son-in-law and daughter back at your home. You wronged them enough to force them to move out. Today, you find the audacity to show up here to ask them to move back? You think this makes you look good?”

Xie Daqiang’s face turned dark. He wanted to argue back but given that she was from the older generation, he kept his silence.

Xie Lan smiled and said to Lady Tian, “Lady Tian, this only involves the Xie family. It’s not good that you are interfering.”

Lady Tian wasn’t going to back off, “Yeah, now I am an outsider. When my son-in-law was the most hurt, I sure didn’t see any of your faces.”

Behind them, Xie Laogen didn’t want any drama. He knew he was in the wrong before and may become the butt of the joke if uncareful, so he ordered, “Speak less.”

The Xie family glared at Lady Tian.

Lu Jiao comforted Lady Tian, “Mom, don’t get mad. It’s not worth it to waste emotions on unworthy people.”

The Xie family was enraged.

Lu Jiao led everyone to the east bedroom and then moved in some of the new chairs. She then left, ignoring everyone.

Lady Ruan was fuming and continued to throw daggers at Lu Jiao with her gaze. Damn that fat b*tch, she will make sure his son leaves her sooner or later.

Worried that she would cause another scene, Xie Laogen squeezed her arm.

Other than Xie Yunjin inside the room, there were also the Xie Clan Leader and several other older generations. The oldest one here was considered to be in the same generation as Xie Laogen’s grandpa. This elder was over 80 years old but remained full of energy. Everyone called him Elder Xie.

Elder Xie saw Xie Laogen and said emotionlessly, “You’re here?”

Xie Laogen nodded dryly.

Beside him, Lady Ruan smiled in satisfaction and spoke up, “I heard my son’s legs can now be cured. As his mother, I am extremely happy and came to visit right away.”

With a motherly gaze, she looked over to Xie Yunjin, “Ah my third son, when I heard the news, I was over the moon.”

Xie Yunjin heard her words and his lips curled up sarcastically.

Xie Laogen noticed his son’s reaction and felt his heart skip a beat. So his third son held a grudge.

Xie Laogen regretted his past decisions very much now. Why did he listen to his wife and force his son to move out?

He should’ve spent the money to treat his illness. Once Xie Yunjin was healed and got a job, he would’ve shared his wealth with the whole family. Now, their hearts were no longer in the same place. Will Xie Yunjin still help out his family in the future?

Xie Laogen didn’t feel good.

Lady Ruan was angry at the way Xie Yunjin reacted. Why was this bastard acting shady?

He was so heavily wounded back then that even the doctor said he would be handicapped for life. How was that her fault? If they want to blame someone, they should blame that doctor.

Lady Ruan was angry but in order to get Xie Yunjin back on her side, she smiled, “As long as your legs heal, I am willing to die early.”

As she spoke, her eyes somehow managed to turn red and she started to wipe away her tears.

The elders in the room found her to be very fake and they were very annoyed at her act. They were very aware of the kind of person she really was.

Xie Yunjin’s oldest brother, Xie Daqiang walked up to him and grabbed his hands.

“Third brother, it’s been hard for you. I know you went through a lot. Why don’t we go back home? Let us take care of you.”

Behind them, the youngest son, Xie Yunhua chimed in while laughing, “Yeah, brother, we are a family. A family should stick together and take care of each other.”

Xie Yunjin closely checked out Xie Yunhua. He originally thought his youngest brother was born chubby and bright-skinned. He never thought too much of it until today.

Today, he realized… As a farmer, how was it possible that he was so clean and so well nourished? It was obvious that someone wealthy had fed him. If he worked in the land like his second brother, Xie Yunjin was sure he would look just as tired and aged.

Xie Yunjin snickered. His eyes were full of coldness and annoyance. Mindlessly, he said, “Fourth brother, you are not getting married anymore? If we move back, where will you stay?”

Xie Yunhua’s face dropped when he heard those words. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was trying to please his mother, he never would’ve allowed his third brother to move back home. contemporary romance

His mother told him to let his third brother move back. Once his brother got an honorable job in the city, he could then follow him there.

He thought, that made sense, so he agreed to it.

After he heard Xie Yunjin’s words, however, he no longer wanted him back. The key thing was that he had promised his little girlfriend that once they marry, she would get to live in a big house.

Other than his eldest brother’s house, his third brother’s house was the biggest.

His second brother’s house was small and was also north-facing. That meant in the summer, people could die from the heat and in the winter, people could freeze to death. He didn’t want that.

Inside the room, Lady Ruan filled the silence, “We have a lot of space at home. If we really cannot find any, we can build two more on the west side.”

Xie Yunhua’s eyes brightened.

Lady Ruan was plotting something. She recently heard that the fat b!tch knew medicine. Once they move back, she’ll take all the money Lu Jiao earned from seeing patients. Then, she’ll have the money to build those two houses she mentioned.

Though Xie Yunjin didn’t know exactly what that mother of his was plotting, he knew she was up to no good.

In the future, he will be as filial as needed, but not more.

Xie Yunjin’s eyes were unspeakably cold and his fingers formed a fist.

Xie Lan followed up, “Third brother, move back. We are so worried about you because you don’t live at home.”

Xie Yunjin sarcastically asked, “You didn’t worry about me in the past.”

Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan’s expressions changed. Xie Laogen solemnly said, “My third child, are you blaming us?”

Xie Yunjin looked up emotionlessly and stared right at Xie Laogen, “What are you talking about? As your son, how can I blame my parents? However, since I’m already moved out, I will not be returning. Our home has always been crammed and the fourth needs space to get married.”

Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan knew then that he was determined not to go back.

Lady Ruan opened her mouth to start crying, but Xie Yunjin beat her to it, “Mom, I know what you are thinking. Whether or not I move back, it won’t make a difference. If I don’t move back, we are still related and I will still help out when needed. If I move back, I will not help out with things I do not want to. Of course, I will remain your filial son.”

Though his statement was well-spoken and considerate, there was not the slightest warmth in his tone.
