Chapter 47
They were truly desperate and felt great humiliation.
The Xu family, after all, is a large family. Although they have been up to five generations, they still carry the Xu surname.
But now they have to bow their heads to the Song family. The reason is simple, the Song family knows more powerful people than the Xu family, and they also have money, not only money, but Fourth Song Lao Si also has a good reputation in their village.
Because the Song family has opened a workshop and hired many people from the village to work, as well as buying firewood from the village, they have helped nearly half of the village make money.
But the Xu family, besides having a county official, has nothing else to boast about, and this county official is far away, unlike the Wang Yuanwai's family who is right next door and can help with any trouble.
In terms of population, the Xu family does have more people than the Song family. But in terms of influence and background, the Xu family is completely inferior to the Song family.
After the Old Mr. Xu agreed to this divorce, a young member of the Song family smiled at Xu Xiujuan and said, "You should go back and tell them to stop causing trouble, we have agreed here."
The members of the Song family are all good-looking. When Xu Xiujuan suddenly saw a handsome young man smiling at her, she blushed and shyly replied before running back home, no longer in a hurry like when she first arrived.
Those in the ancestral hall couldn't help but roll their eyes when they saw Xu Xiujuan like this, thinking that Old Mr. Xu and Old Mrs. Xu have worked hard for most of their lives, but have now been completely humiliated. From now on, they may not be able to hold their heads up in the village.
The village chief Xu, seeing that they had agreed, sighed helplessly.
This matter is not just embarrassing for the Xu Dashan family, but for the entire Xu family. But now that they have been forced into a corner by the Song family, there is no other way.
If the Song family only had some money, it wouldn't have escalated to this point. The problem is, their relationship with the Wang Yuanwai family in town seems quite good, which makes them cautious.
He looked at the dejected Xu family and the pale-faced Old Mrs. Xu, and said to Song Xingyi, "Brother, now that this matter has been settled, let's let them go back and reflect on it."
Song Xingyi replied, "I will listen to the elder brother. If it weren't for Da Bao today, we wouldn't have acted so harshly. We were also afraid."
Village Chief Xu said, "I know, I know..."
Seeing the Song family about to leave, Wang shi suddenly raised her voice, "You keep saying you love Da Bao, but it's freezing cold, and yet you leave a feverish Da Bao here. This is not loving your child, this is clearly using the child to threaten us! I refuse!"
The child who was originally lying in Li shi's arms suddenly sat up, made a face at Wang shi, and happily ran out.
Li shi said, "We brought the child here because words alone are not enough. At least everyone needs to see how ruthless your family is. But the child is sleeping at Elder Brother Xu's house now, so you don't need to worry. In the future, this child has nothing to do with your family."
After saying this, she watched as the clan chief took out a box from the ancestral hall containing a thick family tree. He found the branch of Xu Dashan, took out a pen, and slowly and heavily crossed out Da Bao's name.
Wang shi finally realized that everything was irretrievable, and finally let out a earth-shattering cry.
"If I had known this earlier, why did we bother? Take her back home quickly and stop embarrassing her here." Village Chief Xu was extremely annoyed by the sharp crying, thanked the clan chiefs, and then invited Song Xingyi and Li shi to their house.
