Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Family Separation
Liushiliu, “Not good! The fish soup!”

Duan Yixin, “My cold ointment!”

As soon as these words came out, Liushiliu rushed to the kitchen while Duan Yixin rushed to the backyard. When Duan Yixin arrived in the backyard, she hurriedly opened the lid of the small pot and looked inside. Seeing that the cold ointment was fine, Duan Yixin breathed a sigh of relief.

She took a small wooden spoon and stirred the cold ointment for a while, then took out all the firewood left under the small stove. While she was waiting for the cold ointment to cool down, Liushiliu walked out of the house.

Duan Yixin raised her head and saw the guilty expression on his face. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Liushiliu showed her the broken pot and said, “Miss Duan, I’m sorry. I broke your pot, and there is no more fish soup left.”

Duan Yixin looked at the broken pot and knew that they needed to cook another meal. She shook her head and said, “It’s not your fault. The pot is very old and already has some cracks. It’s just a matter of time before it is completely broken.”

The two of them glanced at the broken pot in Liushiliu’s hand. Duan Yixin looked at the gradually changing color of the sky and said, “It’s almost dinner time. I will prepare the food.”

Liushiliu looked at her and said, “… All right.”

Duan Yixin noticed his guilty expression and said nothing more. After putting the newly made cold ointment into a jar, she cleaned the tools and then placed the jar of cold ointment in her bedroom. Afterward, she went to the kitchen to cook some simple dishes and steamed rice.

When the two of them had an early dinner, Duan Dazhu’s family was having a dispute with Duan Sanzhu’s family. Just when they came back with Duan Yihe, who was seriously injured, Duan Sanzhu said that he wanted to separate the family.

Hearing this, Duan Dazhu looked at his third younger brother and said angrily, “What did you just say?! If you dare, repeat what you said!”

Although he looks tough, Duan Dazhu is actually very worried. After Duan Sizhe was imprisoned, Duan Sanzhu’s family was the only ones who could provide food for his family. If the family is separated now, then his family will not be able to survive.

But despite being very worried, Duan Dazhu still glared at Duan Sanzhu fiercely. Duan Dazhu knew that his third younger brother was timid, so he could only show aggressive behavior to scare him.

Duan Dazhu believed that as long as he could scare Duan Sanzhu into submission, the third branch would not dare to separate from his family, and he could continue to use their money to provide for his family using his position as the head of the family.

While Duan Dazhu was thinking, Duan Sanzhu was frightened by Duan Dazhu’s angry face. But when he remembered Duan Haifeng’s words, Duan Sanzhu gritted his teeth and looked directly into his eldest brother’s eyes.

For the first time in his life, Duan Sanzhu raised his head in front of his eldest brother and said, “Eldest Brother, I want to separate the family. After Sizhi is imprisoned, his title as a criminal will affect Feng’er’s future. As Feng’er’s grandfather, I can’t let this happen to him. No matter what you say, I’m going to separate the family today.”

As soon as these words came out, Duan Dazhu lost his reason out of anger. How dare Duan Sanzhu go against his will!

Duan Dazhu raised his leg and kicked Duan Sanzhu in the stomach. Because of his anger, Duan Dazhu’s kicks were very strong, and he kicked Duan Sanzhu away in one move.

Crash!

“Ugh!”

When Duan Sanzhu fell to the ground and groaned in pain, Duan Haifeng and others were shocked and hurried over to check on him.

Kneeling beside him, Duan Haifeng called and picked him up from the ground anxiously, “Grandfather! Are you alright? Grandfather!”

Seeing his sixty-four-year-old grandfather groaning in pain after being kicked in the stomach, Duan Haifeng became furious. He looked at his father and said, “Father, please take care of grandfather.”

Duan Zhengxi nodded and took the weak Duan Sanzhu from his son’s arms. After that, Duan Haifeng stood up, facing Duan Dazhu, and glared at him coldly. When Duan Dazhu saw Duan Haifeng’s cold and furious expression, he took a few steps back as if frightened by him.

“Wha– what do you want to do?! How dare you look at me like that! Rebellious!” Duan Dazhu shouted, with obvious fear in his voice.

Duan Haifeng clenched his hands in order to stop himself from beating Duan Dazhu and said coldly, “We want to separate the family. If you refuse, we will go to the village chief and let him make the decision for my family.”

Looking at Duan Sanzhu, who can only lay weakly on the ground, Duan Dazhu was worried that if Duan Haifeng reported this incident to the village chief, he would be held accountable. Now, he still needs to pay two hundred taels of silver to the Yamen and take Duan Yihe to see a doctor.

Duan Dazhu really didn’t have any extra money to pay for Duan Sanzhu’s medical expenses and treatment. In this case, Duan Dazhu decided to let them get their wish as long as he didn’t have to pay for Duan Sanzhu’s medical expenses.

Making his decision, Duan Dazhu gritted his teeth and glared at Duan Haifeng, “I can separate the family, but you can’t take anything away with you. Not even a grain of food!”

Hearing this, everyone in the third branch couldn’t help but become angry at Duan Dazhu. Duan Zhengxi saw the half-dead Duan Yihe, who was lying on the side thoughtfully and said, “All right. As long as you agree to separate the family, we will not take anything from the public account.”

When Duan Zhengxi said this, Duan Sanzhu held his hand and said weakly, “Zhengxi… You can’t. Feng’er’s tuition money…”
