Chapter 230 Either Die or Die
Nangong Rui neither hid nor avoided, but just looked at his father coldly.
Nangong Tian rushed to Nangong Rui with great momentum, but when he saw his son, who was more than a head taller than him, looking at him with a cold gaze, his momentum immediately dropped.
"You are old now. I can't beat or scold you all the time!" Nangong Tian put down his shoes angrily, hopped on one leg to put them on, and said in a nagging voice, "Listen to me. Don't even think about dividing the family. As for whether it is a debt or not, people lend you money because they see your face. What does it have to do with me? I am your father. It is not natural for my son to pay off my debts for me."
"Then kill me!" Nangong Rui drew out his sword and threw it at Nangong Tian's feet.
There was a crisp clanging sound when the metal hit the ground. The sound frightened Nangong Tian so much that he shivered. He could not help but take two steps back, the corners of his mouth twitching twice, "You little bastard, you have become too powerful today! How dare you draw your knife to scare your old man!"
"There are two choices. Either you kill your son with your own hands, or you split up the family. After I split up, I will have nothing to do with you anymore. I will still recognize you as my parents. I will come back to visit you during the holidays, and the money for support will be given according to my ability." Nangong Rui said calmly.
"You little brat! You're giving up your good life and trying to threaten your father!" Nangong Tian was so angry at Nangong Rui that he was shaking all over.
Of course he couldn't split the family.
He knew that once the family was divided, not only would his other sons be lost, but his and the others' livelihoods would also be in jeopardy.
But now seeing Nangong Rui being so determined, his heart began to beat fast.
"You don't want to choose?" Nangong Rui looked at Nangong Tian with his eyes a little red.
"You are my son! I have the final say!" Nangong Tian scolded, "You are such a fool!"
"Then just kill me!" Nangong Rui bent down, picked up the knife and put it into Nangong Tian's hand.
Nangong Tian was unwilling to take it and struggled desperately, but his strength was no match for Nangong Rui.
Not long after, Nangong Rui firmly stuffed the knife into his hand. Nangong Rui held Nangong Tian's hand and slowly put the knife across his neck, "Cut it off! I will repay you with my life! You gave birth to me and raised me, so I can't be considered unfilial!"
Wang immediately screamed.
"Old man, you can't!" She ran over in a panic and tried to grab the knife. "Rui'er, you silly child, are you crazy? Be good and listen to me. Mom and dad won't force you anymore! If you have anything to say, just talk to me."
Her strength was no match for Nangong Rui. No matter how she tried to snatch it, Nangong Rui hardly moved.
"Old man, he is out of his mind, are you too? If you kill him, you will lose your head!" Wang cried, "What sin have I committed! How did I end up like this!"
Nangong Rui's two sisters were so scared that they hid in the corner, trembling with pale faces, and no one dared to say a word. As for his sisters-in-law, they each protected their own children, stood up and stepped aside, looking at the three men tremblingly.
"Mad! Mad!" Nangong Tian also knew that he couldn't kill Nangong Rui. No matter how much Wei Ling punished Nangong Rui, he had to give him some face. If he really killed Nangong Rui, Wei Ling would definitely not care about Nangong Rui's face. By then, not only would his other sons not be able to come back, but he would also be in danger!
"Alright, alright!" The three of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and Nangong Tian suddenly burst out with a few swear words, "You want to split up the family, so I'll let you go! Let go!"
When Nangong Rui heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and slowly loosened his hand.
His iron-like hand choked Nangong Tian's wrist until it was almost bleeding. As soon as he was released, he hurriedly threw away the knife in his hand, stepped back several steps, and pointed at Nangong Rui tremblingly, "You unfilial bastard! You want to divide the family, very good! Bring me three hundred taels of silver, and I will divide the family with you! No! Five hundred taels of silver! As long as you can take it out, I will divide it with you completely! From now on, you don't have to call me dad, and you don't have to call me mom! From now on, there will be no one like you in our Nangong family!"
"Old man, are you crazy? If you separate from him, what will happen to his brothers?" Wang was shocked. "Besides, it's only 500 taels? We should at least ask him for 2,000 taels. We have such a big family! What will we eat and drink in the future? Your two daughters still need to get married!"
"Do you think he can come up with a hundred taels in his condition?" Nangong Tian spat at him and said, "He can't! I'm telling you this today. If you can come up with five hundred taels, I'll recognize you as my father!"
"Okay! I'll go borrow it! As long as you keep your word!" Nangong Rui's heart sank.
But he still gritted his teeth and said.
"I can't wait long. Before dark tomorrow, as long as you can pay me, I'll keep my word!" Nangong Tian said, "But if the time is up, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible and be my son! Listen to me!"
Nangong Rui looked deeply at everyone in the room, then turned and walked out of the main room.
"He just left like that?" Wang wanted to chase him, but stopped after taking two steps forward. She turned back to look at Nangong Tian and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Really!" Nangong Tian spat again in the direction where Nangong Rui left, "This little bastard only got 500 taels of silver. He has already lost his military position. Do you think there is anyone in Mangcheng who can lend him 500 taels of silver? What is he thinking! When he goes out and hits a wall, he will come back and kneel down to beg us to keep him! Little bastard!"
"His father! What about Dalang and the others? What should we do?" Wang felt relieved after hearing what Nangong Tian said, but she asked another question.
"Didn't you hear what that bastard said? Those guys might not be back for a while." Nangong Tian snorted and said, "That Wei Ling checked the accounts. I think he wants to settle accounts with those guys. We can't get our money back."
"Oh, what shall we do?" Wang cried out, "What shall we do with our family? The dowries prepared for our daughters are all in that batch of money. We can't confiscate them all!"
"What are you thinking? You still want to take our family's property back from Wei Ling?" Although Nangong Tian felt distressed, he also looked down on Wang's lack of vision. "Wei Ling didn't take our lives because of that little bastard Nangong Rui! Oh, forget it! It's good enough that we can save our lives!"
