Chapter 6 Signing the Document of Severance of Relationship

In the Jin Dynasty, the words of the clan leader were very important, and the people in a clan respected the clan leader very much. The clan leader could easily decide on many customary issues. To cross out a character in the clan tree was tantamount to expelling the clan. For people in this era, expulsion from the clan was a very serious matter, as it meant that the person had no roots to rely on.

Old Man Xiao was frightened by this. He turned his head aside and whispered, "Patriarch, it's not that serious. They are the younger generation and we are the elders. We can't do whatever they say. The most we can do is let them go. But we won't divide the things."

The chieftain glared at him and said, "Are you still human? You drive them out like this. They have nothing, not even a place to live. How do you expect them to survive?"

"We didn't say we would kick them out, but they didn't agree. It's not that we don't want to give it to you, but there is nothing at home right now, and we two old people still need to eat. They are young, and since they dare to break off the relationship, they must be able to support themselves. If they don't dare, then just do what I say." Old Man Xiao didn't say anything, and Mrs. Hu jumped out again.

"Okay, okay, you don't want to give it to him, right? Then I'll make the decision. The vacant house in the public park at the east end of the village will be given to him and his mother. You won't give them anything, and they won't have to bear any responsibility for you in the future, including your retirement and your affairs after death. Just don't regret it in the future." He turned around and asked me, "What are you going to do?"

I rubbed Xiaobao who was still crying in my arms, smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of life have I led in this family all these years? What kind of life have the children led? You all saw it with your own eyes and I won't say anything. If we continue like this, there will be no way out. If we leave this family, maybe we can still survive." "Grandpa, the clan leader, please help me write a document of severance, so that we won't regret it in the future and come back to find them." "After all, I have traveled through time and space. You can't let me starve to death! It's better to break up now than later. If you often use family affection to take your two children, you might be sold accidentally one day. There will be no place for me to cry. Once this document of severance is written, there will be no trouble in the future, and I don't have to worry about who will suppress me in the name of the elders. Otherwise, I will be tied up at that time, and I will have to divide a lot of thoughts to fight with these extreme relatives. It will be too troublesome.

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to write what you need to write. They must not come back to beg for money even if they starve to death in the future. I want to see how these ungrateful bastards can survive without this family to support them," said Mrs. Hu hatefully.

But she seemed to have forgotten that it was the original owner who had been working outside with the two children, and they did most of the housework. Otherwise, the original owner would not have died in such a sudden blow, but his body had been hollowed out long ago, and he died because he ran out of energy.

The clan leader sighed, took a puff of his cigarette, then looked up at everyone and said, "Since you all agree to sever the relationship, then write a document of severance of relationship as you said. Let me ask you again, have you really thought it through? Once this document of severance of relationship is written, your relationship will be truly severed."

Old Man Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "I still say the same thing. If it doesn't stop, then go to Mr. Fang's house. It depends on what the eldest lady's family chooses."

"If you don't want to go, just break up the conversation so you don't have to eat for free at home," Mrs. Hu took over the conversation and replied.

The head of the village and the clan leader turned their eyes to us. "I want to break off the relationship," I said firmly, meeting their gazes.

Soon, a young man who had been asking for the marriage with him was sent back by the clan leader to bring pen and ink. With the witness of the village head, the clan leader wrote down the document of breaking off the relationship. Two copies were made and stamped with the seal.
