You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 251 Signing the Letter of Severance

Afraid that the debt collector would come again, Wei Changgui set out for the shop with his family at dawn.

The donkey cart was loaded with a lot of things, like a moving company. The whole family was crowded on the cart, and the adults all looked pale, as if someone in the family had died.

When they came back last night and learned that the family owed 500 taels of foreign debt, Wei Da Kui and his brothers felt like the sky had fallen. Li Xianglan complained a few times, but Wei Changgui pointed at her nose and scolded her, telling his son to divorce her.

Li Chunyan hid in the room and cried, saying that she couldn't live like this anymore.

The Wei Da Kui brothers were also devastated, but they dared not speak out due to the tyranny of Wei Changgui over the years.

The only solution the family could come up with after racking their brains was to hide away and live in the shop for a while. The creditors would not be able to find them and would go looking for Wei Qinglang and Wei Nanxing.

They have money, and if they are threatened by debt collectors twice, they will definitely give the money and come back later.

Unfortunately, they were too naive. After Brother Bao was beaten that day, he immediately asked someone to secretly go to the village to find out the situation. He learned that one of the two sons who were separated from the family was not his biological son and the relationship was severed.

Brother Leopard mistook He Zhou, who almost crushed his throat with one hand, for Wei Qinglang. He was afraid and did not dare to use force against them again.

At noon, Brother Leopard brought people here again, but they came back empty-handed, and there was no one at home.

Brother Bao was so angry that he asked his younger brother to smash everything in the house to pieces. He also spent some money to bribe Zhang Laizi, a lazy man from Chengjia Village.

The next day, Zhang Laizi took them to find Wei Changgui's shop in the city. A group of people rushed in with sticks and smashed the shop.

The customers were scared away, Wei Changgui and his two sons were beaten, the entire shop was searched, and in the end only a few taels of silver were found.

After confirming that they really had no money, Wei Changgui was kidnapped back to the village and beaten at the door of the Wei family's house.

Cheng Shuang and the others in the yard heard Wei Changgui's screams clearly. Wei Xinyi hid in the room with her hands covering her ears, terrified.

Cheng Shuang was very calm and sat in the yard waiting for Wei Nanxing to make a decision.

The villagers were also alarmed and rushed over to watch from a distance, pointing and talking.

The younger brother brought a stool, and Brother Bao sat down with his legs crossed, then shouted into the room, "It's only natural to pay back a debt. Since Wei Changgui can't pay today, I can only follow the rules.

"Someone, come and cut off his fingers for me bit by bit."

"According to our rules, one cut is worth one tael of silver. If you cut a finger sparingly, you can cut it more than ten times. I don't know if it will be worth five hundred taels after he cuts off all ten of his fingers."

"If it's not enough, then we'll just have to cut off the toes."

Wei Changgui's face turned pale with fear. He begged for mercy and pleaded with Wei Nanxing to come and save him.

The villagers watching were also frightened. Cutting off fingers to pay off debts, and cutting one finger more than ten times, is too scary.

Brother Bao's words were not just a threat. My younger brother really brought a stool and a dagger. Two of them held Wei Changgui, untied him, and spread his five fingers and pressed them on the stool.

Wei Changgui was so frightened that he was trembling all over. He looked at the sharp dagger in his hand and a warm liquid slowly flowed down the inside of his thigh. The pungent smell of urine quickly spread.

"I was so scared, hahahaha." The younger brother who was holding him burst into sharp laughter.

Some of the timid villagers who were watching were too scared to watch and ran away, covering their eyes.

Looking at the tightly closed gate in front of him, Brother Bao frowned. In their line of work, there was indeed a rule of cutting one's fingers when one was standing, but the ultimate goal was to get the money by threatening his family. After all, if the case really went to court, he could only recover the principal.

The surroundings fell into deathly silence. After waiting for a while, the door still didn't open.

Brother Leopard cursed, his eyes turned fierce, and he glared at his younger brother.

The younger brother was also a ruthless person. He raised his knife and cut off a small piece of Wei Chang's left index finger.

The screams like a pig being slaughtered pierced the sky, tearing Wei Changgui's heart and lungs apart. His body arched like a shrimp, and blood gushed out of the cut, dripping onto the ground.

The severed finger also rolled to the ground and was covered with mud. The scene was horrific.

The wails became more miserable than the last.

After a while, when he was about to cut the second time, the gate of the yard finally opened, and a triumphant smile appeared on Brother Leopard's face.

Wei Nanxing walked out expressionlessly and looked at Wei Changgui, whose fingers were still bleeding and whose lips were trembling in pain.

He said calmly, "If you want me to help you pay off this debt, I have one condition."

Wei Changgui was like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline, nodding desperately, "I agree, no matter what the conditions are, I agree, give them the money quickly."

Wei Nanxing took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and said, "Sign this letter of severance. From now on, Xinyi and I will have no relationship with you anymore."

The severance of ties is usually witnessed by the elders of the clan, who write a letter of severance and then open the ancestral hall to register the names. However, the Wei family drifted to Chengjia Village for unknown reasons in their early years. There was only one family with the surname Wei in the entire village. There was no clan leader and no family tree, so they only needed to sign the letter of severance and have the villagers witness it.

This is how Wei Qinglang split up the family business. Few people in the village knew that they had signed a severance agreement, and they all thought it was just a verbal agreement that they no longer had any relationship.

But Wei Changgui knew that he had the letter of severance in his hand, so even after Wei Qinglang became rich, he only placed his hopes on Wei Nanxing.

Wei Changgui's body was trembling. In the past, he didn't care at all, but now these two little bastards were so good at making money. If they even cut off the relationship with his own son, he would not be able to take advantage of them in the future.

"Nanxing, I am your biological father." Wei Changgui pursed his lips.

"If you don't agree, then forget it. Let them continue cutting your fingers." Wei Nanxing turned around and was about to go back.

"No, no, no..." Wei Changgui shouted in shock. He didn't want to experience the pain of a broken finger again.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll sign. I'm willing to sign. Hurry up and take the money."

Wei Nanxing said indifferently, "Once you sign, I will naturally take the money."

The severance letter required a witness, and Cheng Lizheng was quickly invited over. Seeing Wei Changgui's miserable condition, he shook his head.

When the villagers heard that Wei Nanxing was going to break up with his family, more and more people gathered around to watch.

Brother Bao asked his men to step back first, and under the witness of Cheng Lizheng, he signed the severance agreement in public.

Wei Nanxing took out a five-hundred-liang silver note and handed it to Brother Bao. "Take the money and leave quickly. You saw what happened today. I'm just so cold-blooded. If he borrows money to gamble again, I won't blame him even if you skin him alive."

Brother Bao was counting the banknotes. After he counted the amount correctly, he put it in his pocket and gave Wei Nanxing a thumbs up. "Little brother, you are so cruel. It seems that I can't do business with him in the future."

"I said, it has nothing to do with me." Wei Nanxing was indifferent to the end.

The IOU was torn up in front of him, and Brother Leopard, who had received the money, walked away in a swagger with a group of his younger brothers.

The villagers then dared to gather around and point fingers. Most people said that Wei Changgui deserved it, but some saw the blood all over the ground and thought Wei Nanxing was too cruel.

Wei Changgui's fingers were still bleeding, beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping from his forehead in pain, and his expression was distorted.

The debt was cleared, but the son was left alone. He couldn't help but curse at Wei Nanxing, "You ungrateful bastard, why don't you let the lightning strike you to death?"

Wei Nanxing didn't even look at him again, turned around and went back into the house, closing the gate mercilessly.

Looking at the letter of severance in his hand, he felt a sense of relief. Finally, he no longer had to worry about his brother and sister-in-law being harassed by that family because of him and Xinyi.

Cheng Lizheng was kind enough to ask someone to call Doctor Wang over.

After treatment, Wei Changgui's hand stopped bleeding, the wound was bandaged, and his wet pants were changed. He began to regret signing the divorce letter.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He cursed at the door for the whole afternoon. His fingers were bleeding and his face was pale, but he was still full of energy when he cursed. The villagers watched as if they were watching a show.

In addition to calling Wei Nanxing an ungrateful person, he also accused Wei Qinglang of corrupting his son, and finally even included Cheng Shuang in the curse. His words were so vicious that the villagers' only remaining sympathy for him was wiped out.
