He was like that. He survived the winter, and when spring came and flowers bloomed, he left.

Left completely.

He chose to leave quietly, telling his children that he was going back to Old Song's house. Then he left.

Still no one spoke to him, no one tried to keep him, and the children went about their work without even glancing at him.

In this way, he rolled up one hand, dragged one leg, and walked past Widow Sun's door, past the door of Old Song's house, and came to the small river at the entrance of the village.

The river water in spring is very cold, like a winter night.

He didn't know whether his body would be found, but he knew it would flow further down the river.

Song Sanzhu felt that his life was a joke, and he burst into tears again in the cold river water.

Seeing Song Sanzhu crying, Song Chunsheng asked excitedly: "Second Grandpa, my father is crying. Does that mean he can't die?"

Song Jinxiu glanced at this scumbag father and said impatiently, "It's definitely not fatal. How much pain can it possibly be? A grown man is crying. My brother didn't even cry when you broke his leg."

Humph! I despise you.

Hearing the sound, Song Sanzhu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at them in confusion.

Song Jinxiu was startled and couldn't help but kick him: "What are you doing? Stop playing dumb! The medical bill is fifty taels, not a cent less."

In fact, she was not sure in her heart. Although it seemed that there was no problem, the brain was too complicated. Maybe this scumbag father was out of his mind and was really stupid?

When Mrs. Song saw that her third son had woken up, she felt relieved. At least he was not dead.

But before I could even relax, I heard she wanted fifty taels for the consultation. Could this damned girl even treat illnesses? Just two pricks of the needle and she's trying to extort money?

She was anxious and jumped up and down, "What? Fifty taels? Are you trying to extort money? Huh? You pierced my son's head, and I still want you to pay me back."

"Mom, I can't stand the pain anymore. Please take me to the clinic."

The severe pain made Song Sizhu sweat profusely.

I wonder what kind of magic this woman used? His hand now feels nothing but pain.

"Okay, Mom, I'll ask them to pay the money and send my son to the clinic."

After that, she stretched out her hand towards Song Chunsheng and said, "Pay compensation, fifty taels, no, one hundred taels, if you pay quickly, I will let you go first, otherwise, you will be in trouble."

When Song Chunsheng saw Song Sanzhu wake up, his face naturally sullen again. After hearing what Old Lady Song said, he said coldly, "No."

"How dare you not pay the compensation?" She looked at her eldest son, but found that he was hiding behind her eldest daughter-in-law. Well, it seems that she can't count on this cowardly guy.

Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly grabbed the village head's sleeve and said, "Village head, look at what they've done to my two sons. You have to take charge of this for us!"

She pointed at Song Chunsheng and said, "This thing struck by lightning hit my grandfather and now it has injured my son. It's going to be a dilapidated child..."

"What do you mean by 'slippery'? I think you are the one who should be slippery." The head of the village finally got angry.

This old woman is vicious and thinks Chen Tang is joking?

"Speaking of Chen Tang, your Song Dashi is the first one who can't escape. He broke someone's lock and stole things and got caught red-handed. It's embarrassing.

I didn't bother with him because of his age, so what? Are you still angry?

And you, Sanzhu, cheated on your wife before marriage and had an affair, shouldn't you also be punished?"

Song Sanzhu shuddered, and then he sank. The feeling of being drowned by the icy river water was too clear, too real.

Wait, what did the headman just say?

Dad broke someone's lock? Dad is a thief?

The Song family was also confused.

Old Lady Song’s first reaction was that the headman was lying. He must have been telling lies to please these children.

"That's right, Auntie. Uncle took advantage of Chunsheng's absence and smashed the door lock with a scale. He happened to meet someone passing by and was caught red-handed. Don't you know about this?"

"Uncle Shitou came home with a hurt face. How could they not know this? I'm afraid they just want to blackmail him, right?"

"Oh, you didn't see it, but I watched it from beginning to end. The adults came over aggressively and beat up the kids without saying a word."

"How could I not see it? I saw it clearly. They were even clamoring for Chunsheng and the others to move out and give them the house and land."

"Oh, so he wants to take the children's property for himself. No wonder he keeps saying he wants to make people depressed."

"I didn't expect Uncle Dashi's family to be so cruel and shameless. They really brought shame to our Song family."

The villagers started to criticize the Song family one after another.

Song Dazhu felt his face burning and he felt ashamed. He didn't expect his father to do such a thing.

You said you wanted to steal something, so go ahead and steal it. Why can't you come at night? In broad daylight, aren't you trying to get caught?

(Song Dashi: No one is home during the day.)

Song Dazhu's wife cursed inwardly: "What a deceitful father-in-law! Doesn't he know Dalang is going to take the exam soon? He doesn't even know how to save some face for his children and grandchildren?"

Is it easy for her to act gentle and generous for Dalang's career?

This old guy ruined his character in an instant.

The couple looked at each other, and then quietly left the crowd and walked away tacitly.

Song Sanzhu watched as his elder brother and sister-in-law left their mother and brothers and walked away without looking back.

He felt surprisingly calm.

Big brother's family has always been so selfish, hasn't it?

After waking up, Song Sanzhu's thoughts kept going back and forth between reality and dreams.

It was not until this moment that he finally remembered that his father had been beaten and that he had come to cause trouble for his rebellious son.

However, the dream was too real, and it chilled his heart to this day, just like the icy river water, chilling him to the bone.

He looked at Jinxiu for a long time, and Song Jinxiu wanted to stab him blind.

Song Sanzhu looked at his eldest daughter standing in the light and shadow and suddenly asked, "Sanya? Are you a human or a ghost?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was: San Ya, have you ever died?

Song Jinxiu: "You are the ghost, your whole family is a ghost? What? Are you afraid that I will come back to life and seek revenge on you, my scumbag father? Do you think you are worthy?"

Song Sanzhu suddenly laughed.

I laughed and then started crying again. I wanted to laugh while crying.

Song Jinxiu frowned, "Well, it seems this scumbag father is really stupid."

Song Sanzhu stood up shakily, wiped his tears, cried and laughed, and even staggered away.

The dream caused a huge change in his mood. His son and daughter were not in the miserable situation as in the dream, with no food to eat. San Ya was not dead and she even called him dad.

A scumbag dad is still a dad, at least I talk to him.

Maybe it was just a dream, but he could no longer face his mother, brothers, and those children with a normal heart.

Song Dazhu and his wife left, Song Sanzhu also left, and Qian Daya also slipped away when she saw the situation was not good.

At this time, at the door of Chunsheng's house, there were only Old Lady Song who was crying and wailing for compensation, Song Sizhu who was crying in pain, and Silang and Wulang who were stunned with fear.

The village head said impatiently, "Well, let's send Sizhu to the county first. If he keeps arguing, I don't think he can keep his arm anymore."

Old Mrs. Song had no support from her sons and daughters-in-law, and the villagers were pointing fingers and overwhelmingly supporting Song Chunsheng and the others.

Moreover, she really loved her son, and finally urged Silang to go home, hitch the ox cart, and go to the county town.

Before leaving, he threatened Song Chunsheng, "You rotten bastard, born of a mother but not raised by one, just wait for me, I will be back..."
