Old Master Lu and Old Lady Tian hurried back from their home. They heard the noise coming from Zhao Huanxi's house from a distance. The old couple listened to what Zhao Huanxi was crying about.

At this time, he saw Lu Feng picking up a sickle to chop people, so he quickly stopped him loudly: "Beast! What are you doing!"

Lu Feng was still two steps away from Zhao Huanxi. Originally, the aunt in front of Zhao Huanxi was protecting her, but when she saw Lu Feng really using the sickle, she could only move aside to a place farther away from Lu Feng. She just came to watch the fun and didn't want to get herself involved.

So from the old couple's perspective, it looked like Lu Feng was slashing straight at Zhao Huanxi, but Zhao Huanxi still pretended to faint.

When Lu Feng heard his father's voice, his hand holding the knife paused. He turned around and saw his parents, as if he saw his savior.

So he stopped his action of chopping people and said to the old couple: "Dad, Mom! You came at the right time. I want to divorce this bitch!"

The old couple also stepped forward at this time, and Old Master Lu went up and slapped Lu Feng. There was a crisp sound, and Lu Feng hadn't reacted yet.

Old Master Lu then said, "You beast! Don't you think this is shameful enough?"

Mrs. Tian squatted down and helped Zhao Huanxi up. She pinched Zhao Huanxi's philtrum with her fingernails, and Zhao Huanxi slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Mrs. Tian, ​​he hugged her and burst into tears.

The three girls also ran back at this time. They heard from afar that their father was going to sell them and their mother. The three sisters rushed forward and hugged Zhao Huanxi tightly and cried loudly, which made everyone around them feel distressed.

After Lu Feng came to his senses, he yelled at Old Master Lu, "Dad, why did you hit me? I want to divorce this woman, why did you hit me?"

Lu Feng was furious and shouted at Old Lady Tian, ​​"Mom! Are you my real mother? This bitch has hurt me like this! Why don't you let me divorce her?"

Old Master Lu stopped him and said, "Were you gambling outside?"

"I didn't! This bitch set me up!"

Lu Feng quickly denied it, but his panicked expression had already exposed him.

"Rebellious son! I heard everything! How long do you want to keep lying to me? If I had known you would be like this, I would have drowned you in a bucket of urine!"

Old Master Lu was so angry that he almost couldn't recover. It was bad enough that his son just stole things every time, but this time he found out that he also gambled.

After hearing what his father said, Lu Feng threw up his hands and yelled at Old Master Lu, "I know! I'm no match for the eldest brother you raised but died, nor for that younger brother Lu Lin! In your eyes, I'm not even as good as my third sister! So why did you give birth to me?"

The death of the old couple's eldest son was a lifelong pain in their hearts. The child could already call his parents, but he was taken away by a fever.

The two of them spent more than half a year in depression, and only after they met Lu Feng did they gradually forget the pain.

Unfortunately, Lu Feng was not obedient when he was a child. Once, the old couple secretly complained in their room, wondering if their eldest son would be better than Lu Feng if he were still alive.

When the young Lu Feng heard this, he thought his parents didn't love him and asked why they had him. From then on, he became enemies with his parents and felt that they owed him everything they did.

When Old Mrs. Tian saw her son become like this, she felt a huge sense of sadness in her heart. The child she had carried for ten months and given birth to overnight was actually using the most painful thing for the old couple to attack her.

Old Mrs. Tian choked up and burst into tears. She was such a talkative person, but at this moment, her heart was so bitter that she couldn't say a word.

Old Master Lu looked around at the people pointing and talking, and sighed deeply. He looked as if he had aged ten years, and his waist, which had been straight just now, became weak.

He said to the old man whom he had just called Sixth Uncle: "Gaosheng, go and help call the clan leader and the village chief. I want to exterminate this beast from the clan." Sixth Uncle's surname was Lu. He was Lu Gaosheng, the sixth child in the next room, and he was a few years younger than Old Man Lu.

Lu Gaosheng hesitated and asked, "Brother Gaoshun, is this punishment too severe?"

Old Master Lu’s full name is Lu Gaoshun. He and his two sisters are the only ones in his family. When he was young, he studied with a teacher for two years.

When he was young, he worked as a peddler in the mountains and earned some money. Later, when his eldest son died young, Old Master Lu stopped peddling goods and stayed at home to farm, occasionally carrying large bags at the docks. This was enough to support his family.

Old Master Lu shook his head at Lu Gaosheng and said, "Just go and call him over. The world is big, and this rebellious son will have his place to go."

Seeing this, Lu Dashan knew that he could not persuade them, so he set off to find the clan leader and the village chief.

When Lu Feng heard that his father was going to expel him from the clan, he immediately threw away the knife and knelt down in front of Old Master Lu.

Tears flowed freely. She yelled, "Dad, wuwuwu, I was wrong, wuwuwu, I won't dare to do it again, please don't make me expel from the clan, wuwuwu, I will change, I will change!"

Old Master Lu ignored Lu Feng's wailing and walked towards Old Lady Tian to comfort her, "Don't be sad, old lady. Help Huanxi go to the inner room to rest."

Old Mrs. Tian swallowed the bitterness in her throat and helped Zhao Huanxi in. Several children also followed their grandmother into the house.

After they sat down, Old Master Lu went out and called Lu Feng, who was crying, into the house. As soon as Lu Feng entered the house, he knelt down in front of his mother.

"Mom, please don't chase me away. I know I was wrong. I won't divorce her. As long as you don't chase me away, I'm willing to do anything."

In ancient times, extermination of a clan was a very severe punishment, more painful than being beaten or whipped.

Once expelled from the clan, one is not allowed to participate in any clan activities during his lifetime, his name cannot be included in the family tree, and if he has descendants, they cannot be included in the family tree. He cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb after death. This is equivalent to completely blacklisting this person.

People in ancient times cared most about returning to their roots. Not being able to be buried in the ancestral tomb was equivalent to being a wandering ghost, so Lu Feng was in a hurry to admit his mistake.

When Old Master Lu heard Lu Feng admit his mistake, he felt no ripples in his heart. When he was young, he traveled in the mountains and saw many gamblers from other villages. Those people would not repent even if their hands and feet were chopped off. If they had some money, they would think of doubling it in the casino.

Old Lady Tian ignored Lu Feng. She knew that gamblers couldn't be trusted. As experienced as she was, how could she not know that her son's apology was just a facade; he was simply afraid of being expelled from the clan.

Now looking at Lu Feng, there is only disappointment in his eyes.

Old Master Lu looked at Lu Feng and said slowly: "Now I give you two choices, one is to expel the clan, and the other is to divorce Huanxi."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Feng quickly said, "Dad, I want a divorce. I want a divorce from her!"

When Lu Feng heard that he would not be expelled from the clan and could get rid of the bitch Zhao Huanxi, his heart cheered and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Huanxi was equally happy. After hearing what Mr. Lu said, he thought that his whole night of acting had not been in vain. It was good to be together and to part ways. As long as Lu Feng did not provoke him in the future, he would not cause trouble for Lu Feng either.

Old Master Lu was speechless about his son. He said to Lu Feng coldly, "The divorce is conditional. The land and house belong to Huanxi. You can go wherever you want in the future. As for the three children..."

"Dad, the three girls will live with me from now on. I can support them." Zhao Huanxi took over the conversation.

Zhao Huanxi must bring these three daughters over. No matter whether they live with Lu Feng or are raised in the second house, they will never be treated with care.

Old Master Lu was in a dilemma. The three children were not Zhao Huanxi's biological children, so it was reasonable for the Lu family to take care of them. However, he was worried about leaving the children with Lu Feng. If he took them back to the second wife's house, the family would be short of money to feed and drink.

Moreover, the second wife has three children of her own. It's okay for her to stay for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, it's inevitable that the second wife will have other thoughts. People's hearts are unpredictable. If her eldest son becomes such a bad person, will she let her second son clean up the mess?

Old Mrs. Tian then spoke up, "Huanxi, I know you have good intentions. If you really want to raise a few children, we will adopt you as our goddaughter. In Dashi Village, as long as we are alive, we will not let outsiders bully you."

He paused and continued, "If you don't raise them, we won't blame you. After all, these children are not your biological children. You can return home and find another marriage and start a new family."

Hearing what Grandma said, the youngest Nian'er sobbed even harder, covering her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud. The eldest and second daughters were both sensible and knew they couldn't make things difficult for their mother, so they tried to minimize their presence.

Zhao Huanxi watched the little movements of the maids and understood that what Old Lady Tian said was from the heart.

She was increasingly worried that she couldn't go home. What if she was sold to another man? In this day and age, parents' orders were paramount. What would she do then? She might as well settle down here. It was close to the mountains, and it wasn't difficult to get along with the surrounding families. She had money on her side, so staying in this village at least gave her freedom.

So he calmed down and said to the old couple, "Dad, Mom, I am willing to raise you children, but I have one condition."
