When the matter was cleared up and he was released from prison, his grandfather had already been buried for some time, but he did not even get to see his grandfather for the last time.

He would never forgive the two of them.

“Father.” Xue Dagui observed his father’s expression. Seeing that his father didn’t seem angry anymore and was even smiling, he put on a straight face and said, “That Wufu’s blind bear can definitely be sold for a lot of money. I’m different from my wife, I don’t want to split it. Honestly, I’m just thinking that since a biological brother, shouldn’t he give me a few pieces of silver to help me? Don’t you think so?”

Liu Guixia, Yu Hongyan, Xue Wufu, and Li Hehua’s faces immediately turned ugly.

Xue Yan’s expression remained the same. This was his fourth uncle, and his fourth uncle was like this. If he didn’t act like this, he wouldn’t be his fourth uncle.

“How dare you!” Xue Da was furious. He picked up his cane and began to hit Xue Dagui. “You’re like this every time! I don’t know what sin I’ve committed to have given birth to such a thing like you!”

“Father, father, I was wrong, I was wrong.” Xue Dagui didn’t run even after being hit, afraid that he would sprain something. He just stood in front of his father and kept dodging. Yet, the cane hit him every time. “Don’t hit me anymore, don’t hit me anymore. It hurts so much, father.”

If he had run away and chased after him, Xue Da would definitely have been furious. With Xue Dagui like this, Xue Da couldn’t beat him up anymore even after a few hits.

His son was filial to him and treated him especially well.

“That’s enough,” Xue Da snapped as he retracted his walking stick, “Get lost!”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll get lost, I’ll get lost. Don’t hate me, please!” With that, Xue Dagui ran off.

Xue Gouzi saw that his father had left and wanted to leave as well. He whispered, “Grandpa, I’ll be leaving too.”

“Go on.” Xue Da was still very kind to his grandson.

Xue Gouzi took two steps and turned back. He lowered his head and said to Liu Guixia guiltily, “I’m sorry. My parents…”

As he said this, his throat choked and his eyes turned red.

“It’s okay,” Liu Guixia quickly comforted her. “What does it have to do with you? Don’t feel bad, go back quickly, or your mother will scold you.”

“This has nothing to do with you. You should go back now.” Yu Hongyan and the rest also tried to comfort him.

Even Xue Yan said, “Yeah, get going.”

In his previous life, Xue Gouzi lived well in that family. In the end, he died because he didn’t want to help the treacherous official harm the Regent King.

“Quickly go back.” Xue Da sighed.

Xue Gouzi then walked away slowly. He even lowered his head.

Xue Da was helped into the house and sat for a while before he left.

Xue Yan went to pick some wild tendon grass, crushed it, and applied it on his fifth brother’s left ankle. Even though his father and the others had gone to town to sell bears, he had nothing to worry about with Jiang Yue around.

…

Jiang Yue sat on the ox cart and spent more than an hour before she arrived at the town with Xue Dafu and the others.

It was already noon when they arrived in town.

Because they were in a hurry to sell the blind bear, they didn’t waste any time and went straight to the market. There was a place in the market that was dedicated to collecting the prey caught by hunters.

For example, restaurants and rich families would usually come here to collect these things if they needed them.
