Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1169: Chapter 1079: Female Prime Minister 17

Yin An’s presence was truly minimal; previously, Old Master Yin hadn’t even noticed this fourth son he’d reprimanded hadn’t obediently stayed home but had instead followed along.

Yin An had one thing in mind, ”Since father wants to sever ties with my second brother, then let’s sever the father-son relationship with me together. Other than the clothes I’m wearing, I don’t want anything else. In the future, I’ll help my second brother pay off debts and live life, without any relation to you.”

Old Master Yin’s eyebrows rose, staring at his always quiet, yet now suddenly rebellious fourth son as if he wanted to devour him.

”What nonsense are you following? You unfilial son also want to learn from your second brother to anger me to death? As long as I live for a day, you can forget about leaving this family.”

Yin An was hardworking and capable, an extremely good laborer; naturally, Old Master Yin couldn’t bear to let Yin An leave. If this family were so easy to abandon, Yin Zheng wouldn’t need to stage this scene.

Yin Cheng stood indifferently on one side, now preoccupied with the money he was about to get, how much of the shop’s rent refund, how much the goods sold for.

Adding this money to the eighty silvers, although it doesn’t amount to two hundred silvers, the loss is just ten or eight silvers, or maybe a bit more, ten or twenty silvers.

Though losing the silver is distressing, having over a hundred silvers in income, Yin Cheng plans to buy a small courtyard in the county. Then he’ll go be a bookkeeper or a shopkeeper, and life can proceed.

It doesn’t matter if the reputation in the village is good or bad; anyway, with money, he’ll go to the city and won’t return to the village, and he won’t hear what gossip the villagers speak.

As for whether Yin An stays or leaves, Yin Cheng doesn’t care, even now enduring everyone’s strange looks, focusing on fetching money to want his second son, Yin Zheng, dead; Yin Cheng doesn’t mind at all.

He considers taking the money and living well in the city, without even thinking about taking Old Master Yin along. Living with the elder is never as comfortable as living alone, doing whatever one pleases.

No matter what Old Master Yin says, Yin An is determined to leave this family; Old Master Yin’s attitude towards Yin Zheng truly chills and scares him.

The more Yin An thinks, the more frightened he becomes. Both he and his second brother are unloved sons; if Old Master Yin can treat Yin Zheng this way, he can treat him the same in the future.

Yin An even has a more frightening thought: this time was an accident for second brother, but if he tastes the benefits later, will Old Master Yin deliberately send this unloved youngest son to borrow a usury loan?

Then just like today, Old Master Yin will also sever ties with him, letting him bear the debt alone to die, while Old Master Yin uses the money to spoil his beloved third son.

If before today, although he was unloved, Yin An never thought his own father would treat him this way, but having seen Old Master Yin’s cruelty towards second brother Yin Zheng, Yin An has to think this way.

”I know father is not reluctant to part with me, it’s that he doesn’t want me, this strong laborer, to leave home. If father doesn’t sever ties with me, I will leave this house and go work as a long-term laborer outside, I can at least support myself, and I’ll never return to this home again.”

Seeing that Old Master Yin refuses to relent, in anxiety Yin An becomes fierce, saying everything including leaving home and never coming back.

Yin Zheng instantly knew something was wrong upon hearing Yin An’s remarks; indeed Old Master Yin’s face instantly turned somber, and his gaze on Yin An carried a hint of coolness.

Yin An hasn’t understood Old Master Yin’s extent of cruelty. If a father sincerely wants to discipline his son, there are many ways.

The simplest method is selling the son as a slave to earn a substantial sum, and more heinously, selling to a black coal mine can get even more money.

If it were that easy to escape, why has Yin Zheng endured mistreatment for so many years at home, to bring about such a grand event to break free from this family.

Being able to be initiated to sever ties and leave home occurs because his father wants to make him bear the usury debts; otherwise, his father wouldn’t possibly let him go so easily.

Seeing Yin An wanting to speak further, if it continues, it’ll be hard to conclude; hastily Yin Zheng spoke up.

”Since father is so heartless, then let the fourth brother come out and be with me too.

If father agrees, the eighty silvers, shop, and items in the shop all belong to father.

If father doesn’t agree, I will go to those who lend usuries and say my borrowing was all for father, now the silver is in your hands, but you don’t plan to repay those usury loans.”

Does father think those who lend usury will willingly take this loss? This is because by severing ties, they won’t keep bothering father and you?”

Yin Zheng’s threat was right on point, Old Master Yin’s gaze was sinister, fixed on Yin Zheng, his expression was extremely formidable; he hadn’t expected Yin Zheng to dare to threaten him, he was his father!

No matter how hateful Old Master Yin felt inside, Yin Zheng’s threat was effective, not towards Old Master Yin, but towards Yin Cheng.

Yin Cheng already regarded these silvers as his own, deeply afraid the money he was about to get would fly away; furthermore, Yin Zheng is indifferent to Yin An’s whereabouts, with money he can buy a servant who’s obedient, doing whatever is asked.

Fearful that Yin Zheng might really do something desperate, Yin Cheng quickly said to Old Master Yin: ”Father, since the fourth brother’s heart isn’t in our family, let him go out and live with second brother, at home there’s elder brother and the eldest to show filial duty to father, we don’t lack these two unfilial ones.”

Yin Cheng was Old Master Yin’s weakness, as soon as Yin Cheng spoke, Old Master Yin’s mind went blank, confusingly he gave in and let Yin An sever ties with Yin Zheng and his own family.

The village chief and villagers spectated a farce, seeing Old Master Yin and Yin Cheng disgrace themselves for silver, each heart full of disdain for the two.

Moreover, some were cautious, pondering whether they showed such favoritism among their children, if truly biased, hastening to straighten up, not letting their children become like this, suffer miserably.

Finally, the village chief didn’t bother with routine mediation, but straightforwardly served as witness, helping Old Master Yin with the severing ties document for Yin Zheng and Yin An.

Seeing both sides sign and stamp it, amid urging from Old Master Yin and Yin Cheng, the village chief promptly took both families by ox cart to the county, quickly registering the severing ties document with the government.

Rapidly separating Yin Zheng and Yin An’s household registration from the Yin Family, making them independent, henceforth both sides will be completely unrelated individuals.

From that day onwards, no matter which family prospers or falls, they cannot cling to one another, thus Yin Zheng and his family finally were bowled out from the muddy mire of the Yin Family they’d long hoped to escape.
