Chapter 229 I want to separate the family
A feeling of powerlessness suddenly swept over his body, making him laugh out of anger.
"You bought it?" He pointed at the food on the table and asked, "You just sneaked out of the gambling house and left me alone there just to buy these things and then come back to cheat people? Did you get rich? How did you get rich?"
Nangong Tian's face was very ugly. He looked at the whole family and saw that everyone's eyes were on him. He immediately straightened his back and said, "What are you talking about, you little brat! Who are you talking to like that? I'm your father!"
"I know you are my father. But don't you want to explain to your family where the money to buy these things came from?" Nangong Rui asked.
His heart seemed a little numb, and his expression became calm.
"What is this kid talking about?" Wang Shi saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly stood up and said to Nangong Rui, "I asked you to go find your father, and it's okay if you didn't find him. Just come back for dinner, why are you so crazy!"
"Mom, don't you really know that he is a gambler? Don't you know that he lost all the land and property in our family?" Nangong Rui looked at Wang and asked sternly, "For so many years, I have been working hard to save money, just to buy a new house for our family and settle down again, but where is my money? You said you would save it for me, and I believed you, but where is the money!"
"Hasn't it been sealed?!" Wang's face flashed with a bit of discomfort, "You little brat, are you coming to me to blame now? I also want to ask you, why was our family sealed?"
"What do you think? What do you think!" Nangong Rui pointed at everyone in the room, "Every penny I earned was earned by risking my life on the battlefield, and I gave it all to you. I have no place to stay now, no family, let alone a career! I always thought that I should help support my family now that I have made it, but I just realized today that I was wrong, I can't support this family! Don't you know why our family was sealed? Do you really think I don't know anything about what you did behind my back? You colluded with rice merchants to replace refined rice with inferior rice and sell it to the army, and I turned a blind eye to it. The general was away for three years, and you have made a lot of money. Now that the general is back, you should stop! Where did the money go? Anyway, I didn't ask you for half a cent, it must have been gambled away by you, dad!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat!" Nangong Tian's expression suddenly changed. "How can you talk about something like this? Stealing and replacing military rations will cost you your head!"
"Are you scared now?" Nangong Rui sneered, "Do you think the general doesn't know? He asked someone to check all the accounts for the past three years. He knows it in his heart! Do you know why I have lost my military position now? It's not that the general is sorry for me, but I am sorry for the general and the brothers in the army. They have been eating the inferior food provided by you for the past three years! He kicked me out of the army, but did not announce my crime in public. He has saved my face! He didn't let the brothers who stayed behind in the Black Tiger Army poke our spines! Let me still have a meal in Mangcheng!"
"And your husband, using my name, is out there swindling people, saying he can transfer people to other military positions, eating and drinking everywhere, and collecting money everywhere. Do you really think I don't know anything about me?" Nangong Rui pointed at his sisters-in-law and said. "And you two, relying on being my sisters, are noble ladies in Mangcheng. If others give you hairpins and clothes, you laugh at them if you don't like them. Who gives you such capital and confidence?"
Nangong Rui's words made his sisters-in-law lower their heads, and his two sisters quickly turned away and dared not look at Nangong Rui.
Nangong Rui looked around and laughed at himself, "So you're all silent now? I didn't wrongly accuse you!"
"You little brat! You came back today just because you feel uncomfortable, right?" Nangong Tian slammed the table and glared at him when he heard it.
"Someone asked me three questions today, but my answers must have disappointed her." Nangong Rui looked at Nangong Tian and said slowly. "I have been thinking about these questions on the way back. I also want to ask you today, how do you want to live in the future?"
"What's the problem? What's the disappointment?" Nangong Tian said angrily, "How are you going to live in the future? What do you want?"
"I want to split up the family," Nangong Rui said calmly. "My brothers have already started a family and have children. You have already gotten enough benefits from me over the years. Now I have lost my military position and am alone. Take whatever you can take and let me leave this family."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Everyone present except Nangong Rui looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What are you talking about, kid?" Wang was the first to react. "Come and eat! Why divide the family?"
"If you don't want to separate, then you should acknowledge all these debts." Nangong Rui looked at Nangong Tian, "I owe you five hundred taels of silver in foreign debt. If we are a family, then we should pay it back together."
Nangong Tian's face was as dark as a pickle shop. "What nonsense are you talking about? Where do I owe money?"
Nangong Rui calmly told everyone present what had just happened.
When Wang heard this, she immediately patted Nangong Tian on the shoulder and said, "What did you promise me? You said you wouldn't gamble!"
"Alright!" After being hit several times on the head by Wang, Nangong Tian was extremely annoyed. He dodged a few times at first, but later, seeing that Wang was hitting him too hard, he slapped Wang in the face with his backhand.
The slap was delivered so hard that the sound was so loud that everyone in the room was stunned.
The children who had not yet realized that the adults were arguing were also stunned, and then several of them burst into tears.
Several sisters-in-law hurried to coax the child, and instantly the house was in chaos.
"Alright! Stop crying!" Nangong Tian slammed the table again and yelled, "Get out and cry!" He then pointed at Wang's nose and cursed, "You old woman, you dare to hit your man! I give you the guts! If you keep whining, I'll divorce you! I just went out to play for money, so what? I've been frustrated enough these past few days! Stop howling like a ghost!"
Wang's face was swollen from the beating, but she didn't dare to say a word. She just hid aside with her face covered.
Seeing that everyone in the family was intimidated by him, Nangong Tian looked at Nangong Rui and said, "You bastard, you need a beating to make it a mess! Everything at home was fine, but you messed it up into what it is now!" After saying that, he was about to take off his shoes and beat Nangong Rui.
