Old Master Zi was regretful. If he had known that his youngest son would get him into trouble like this, he would have drowned him in the dumping ground. Such a sh*t stirrer, he should be dumped into the sh*t and left to die!


    He turned to look at Zi Qian ignoring the shocked look on the faces of his son and son-inw. Old Master Zi said to Zi Qian, "We want to separate, Vige Head. You should help us clear this mess up. Since Zi Mu and Ye Zexian were the ones who broke the contract why should we be the ones paying for it?"


    When the vigers of the Sand Vige heard Old Master Zi''s heartless words, they sucked in a breath. Everyone knew that Zi Mu had worked himself to bones for the sake of taking care of this big family, even his daughter was forced on the same path where she was forced to take care of her cousins in the same way, her father took care of his elder brothers and their husbands.


    Now that Zi Mu was in trouble, Old Master Zi and the rest of the Zi family wanted to cut off their rtionship and separate family.


    Zi Qian also thought that Old Master Zi had lost his marbles. It was true that Zi Mu had caused a bit of trouble but he had earned more than a hundred taels for this family, they were the richest ones among the rest of the vigers, including her who did not have so muchnd.


    Yet they were refusing to help Zi Mu?


    She thought that Old Master Zi''s action of separation was simr to a foolish woman cutting the stomach of a golden eggying hen to see if she could find more gold eggs in one sweep.


    Zi Qian ignored what Old Master Zi was saying and then turned to look at Old Madam Zi before asking, "Is this what you want as well? The separation of family is not something that could be taken back. If you agree to this, even if Zi Mu is your family and son he will have no obligation to take care of your sons or nephews and nieces. At most he would be responsible for paying filial piety——"


    When she was speaking Yu Dong who was silent on the side spoke up causing Zi Qian to be interrupted, "How will he pay filial piety? If his family kicks him out, he would have to sell himself and even his husband to me.


    In fact, even after selling themselves and their children, they would still not be able to make up the money that I have lost as they hold not even a single copper coin in their hands."


    The vigers sucked in another breath and gasped. They all thought that Yu Dong was a bit cruel but when they thought about how she caused the loss of thousands of taels they understood her anger.


    Yu Dong was the one who gave Ye Zexian and Zi Mu a chance to earn a lot of money and they signed the contract with her. But then they went back on their words and broke the contract, they even used the money that Yu Dong gave to them.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Zi Qian was also having a headache. She knew that Zi Mu was a good man which was why she turned to look at Old Master Zi and Old Madam Zi before saying, "You see this? If they cannot pay back the money then they would have to sell themselves! Old Master Zi, Old Madam Zi, your family is not in such a condition where you have to sell your son right?"

    Zi Mu did not speak but Ye Zexian did, he looked at Old Master Zi and said, "Ah Mu was the one who brought money to this family. Even if you cannot take out a hundred taels, can you not give us fifty taels? We will pay her back. She is not even asking forpensation ah! Father, you cannot be this heartless to us, can you?"


    Old Master Zi however was just that heartless. He red at Ye Zexian and said, "Did I ask you to burn the fruit farm? You were the ones who did it. So why should we be the ones taking the money out? Now that the farm is gone, we also need to skimp and save! If we take out more than a hundred taels, how are we going to survive?"


    He did feel a bit guilty when he said this after all, he had more than a hundred taels saved up. But he did not want to take it out, now that Zi Mu was gone and the farm was gone, they had to rely on the savings that he had kept for ages.


    "But Ah Mu was the one who earned it!" Ye Zexian repeated as he wanted the vigers to see how Old Master Zi was forcing him and his husband to a corner. "Your refusal will cause us to turn into ves, Father! Please show some mercy, Ah Liu is my brother and his wife gave us such a good opportunity on ount of his pleading with his wife!"


    "If we fail to hand back the money then Liu will be the one who would have to suffer! Do you want my brother to lower his head in front of his family because his brother''s inws and husband caused Miss Yu to lose a fortune?"


    "He is right, Old Master Zi," Zi Qian still tried to smoothen out the situation by diffusing the strain. "Master Zexian is not the only one who will suffer. You should at least show some respect to Mister Liu who helped your family."


    However, Old Master Zi wouldn''t even respect the heavenly immortal if he were toe and ask for money. He red at Zi Qian and then said, "I did not ask for this opportunity and I did not take a single tael from them! Why should I take out the money? If they have to sell themselves to pay for this loss then so be it. I will take it as if I never had a son!"
