My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Fifteen minutes later, the letter severing ties was written.

Gu Deyuan frowned and looked at Yang Fenglan and Wang Shi, "Have you thought this through? If you really want to go this far, it will be difficult for our two families to have any dealings in the future."

Wang: "If we don't want to associate, then we don't want to associate!"

Yang Fenglan: "Village chief, I've thought it through. The Zhou family was the one who was heartless first. What can I, a mere woman, do?"

Wang Guihua, used to being a good person, wanted to offer a few words of advice, but was frightened by a look from Wang Shi and dared not step forward.

Gu Deyuan looked at Old Zhou, "Old Zhou, what are your thoughts?"

Old Zhou sat to the side smoking his pipe, looking bitter and resentful. "Sigh~ I'm old now, I can't care about so much, let them do whatever they want."

Gu Deyuan sighed, "It's because you never take care of things that the family is in such a mess."

When asked for her opinion, Yang Fenglan changed her mind and said, "Village chief, I don't want to sever ties either."

Gu Deyuan took the opportunity to say a few kind words, such as blood is thicker than water and there is no knot that a family cannot untie.

Then Yang Fenglan said, "Mother, I'm not severing ties with you anymore. Can you lend me ten taels of silver?"

Upon hearing that she wanted to refuse, Wang hurriedly pressed her fingerprint on the letter of severance of kinship, and then pulled Old Man Zhou to press his fingerprint as well.

No need to say more.

"It's settled." Yang Fenglan also pressed her handprint.

Although she was quite happy inside, she couldn't show it.

With a heavy heart, Yang Fenglan looked at the villagers who had gathered around.

"Fellow villagers, let me bear witness today that from now on, I, Yang Fenglan, along with Zhou Jingyi, Shen Yu, and our family, will have absolutely no connection with the Zhou family."

"If I ever enter the Zhou family compound again, may I be struck by lightning! Similarly, if anyone from the Zhou family ever enters my family compound, may they also be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Yang Fenglan adopted a resolute attitude and looked at Wang Shi.

She was mainly afraid that Wang would not change her ways and would steal her things.

After all, following the lucky heroine will definitely make life better and better. If they get jealous and refuse to admit their mistakes, or act like scoundrels, they won't be easy to deal with.

Upon hearing Yang Fenglan curse the Zhou family, Wang immediately jumped up and cursed Yang Fenglan in return, "Fine! If any member of the Zhou family ever enters your yard, may the Zhou family be wiped out!"

"Mother, you can't talk nonsense." Wang Guihua quickly covered Wang's mouth.

Wang forcefully pried her hands away and said again, "Let the second branch of the family be cut off from all children..."

"Shut up!" Old Zhou, who had been silent all along, suddenly revealed himself. "Stupid woman! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

Some things shouldn't be said carelessly.

Gu Deyuan was driven crazy by the family's incessant chatter, and the ink on the paper had dried. He gave the two letters of severance to Wang Shi and Yang Fenglan respectively.

Wang took the letter of severance and read it carefully, as if she could recognize the words on it—ignoring the fact that she had held it upside down.

Then, he carefully folded the letter severing ties, immediately turned hostile, and kicked Yang Fenglan out.

"Hmph, you beg me to come and I still won't!" Yang Fenglan raised her chin and twisted her body, completely changing her previous pitiful and begging appearance.

Shen Yu frowned, climbed down from the stone by the wall, and silently followed Yang Fenglan home.

She thought that if things fell apart with the Zhou family, her mother-in-law would hide under the covers and cry.

To my utter surprise, as soon as she got home, she tore open the letter severing ties with her husband and laughed wildly.

"You... served the Zhou family for more than ten years, and now it's all over? Aren't you sad?" Shen Yu asked.

"You're right, you should be sad." Yang Fenglan immediately changed her expression, adopting a look of suppressed grievance, and then pushed open the door to the west room.

Zhou Jingyi was lying there so long he looked like he was going to get maggots; he was moving his hands and left leg.

Seeing someone come in, she flashed a bright smile, "Mom, you're finally back! When are we eating? I'm starving!"

"Jingyi, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Yang Fenglan came to the bedside in a soft and weak manner, and lovingly stroked Zhou Jingyi's thin face.

Zhou Jingyi was taken aback, instinctively feeling that something bad had happened, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong? Tell me quickly."
