Chapter 2201: The Death of Old Master Bian

“Shoo, shoo, shoo! This is to prolong our father’s life! How can you have a share! Besides, how dare you ask for a share when you contributed so little money! You can’t even get ginseng dust with that bit of money!” Bian Guo said disdainfully.

Bian Cui and Bian Xiang gripped the ginseng box tightly and said, “In any case, we’ve also contributed money! Even a small piece is good enough for us! I hear that even a fingernail-sized piece of the Xia family’s ginseng can save a person from the verge of death! I don’t care! The two of us must get a share!”

Bian Guo could not stand their nagging anymore. He took out a knife and carefully cut off the smallest ginseng root and said, “The two of you can share this one. The rest is for Father!”

Bian Cui and Bian Xiang accepted the ginseng root with a look of satisfaction. It was time for Old Master Bian to take his medicine. They personally sliced the ginseng into pieces and put some into the pot to boil with the medicine. Later, they watched Old Master Bian drink it all.

Unexpectedly, Old Master Bian died one week later without any warning signs! He was smiling when he died though. He finally got what he wanted.

“How exactly did you take care of Father! How can he die all of a sudden! I thought Father already ate that ginseng! Did you stop giving it to him during the past few days!” Bian Guo barged into the house angrily and questioned his siblings.

“How would I know! Go and take a look at the medicinal dregs! I prepare Father’s medicine every day. How can anything go wrong!” Bian Jian said in a panic.

The Bian family members kept talking about the reason for Old Master Bian’s death and who should take responsibility for it. None of them looked sad at all. Bian Ke hid in one corner and looked at Old Master Bian’s body in fear.

This should have nothing to do with her… Her grandfather died of natural causes! It was definitely not her fault!

The Bian family argued non-stop. In the end, Bian Cui was the only one who still had some conscience. She paid for Old Master Bian’s funeral clothes and the other things needed for the funeral. It was the tradition that when an elderly person passed away, the family would hold a wake at the funeral parlor for three days. The deceased would be cremated only after receiving the condolences of relatives and friends. All the Bian family members wore black mourning clothes and sat in the guest room of the funeral parlor.

“The ginseng we bought in the past all worked well, but the old master died this time round. Can it be because of the ginseng?” Bian Xiang asked suspiciously.

“The Xia family is such a prominent family. Is there a need for them to harm us because of a 10-year-old ginseng!” Bian Jian said.

“It’s true that the Xia family is very influential and won’t do anything to small families like ours, but what if there’s resentment in their hearts?” Bian Guo said as he shifted his gaze to Bian Ke, who was standing at the side.

Bian Ke retreated out of fear and almost fell to the floor. She said with a trembling voice, “Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?”

“I heard that you offended the Xia family a few days ago. The Xia family doesn’t want to let you marry into their family anymore! The matchmaker has already told me about it!” Bian Guo said with a cold snort.

“What! You offended the Xia family! It’s such a good thing for our family to be related to them by marriage! If you don’t like that kid from the Xia family, then my daughter can date him! Why did you offend them!” Bian Xiang roared at Bian Ke agitatedly.

Including Bian Ke, the Bian family had three granddaughters. The second one was Bian Xiang’s eldest daughter, who was the same age as Bian Ke. The third one was Bian Guo’s youngest daughter who was only 12 years old. At that time, the family could not decide on who should go on the blind date. In the end, they put it to a vote and Bian Ke won.

“Stop daydreaming! Only the daughters born to Eldest Brother and I have the surname Bian! What’s your daughter’s surname! A married daughter is like spilled water! You’re no longer a member of the Bian family! Your daughter is naturally not a member of our Bian family! Even if Bian Ke can’t marry into the Xia family, there’s still my daughter! No matter what, it won’t be your daughter’s turn!” Bian Guo said indignantly.

“How can your daughter get married at such a young age! What beastly nonsense are you saying! Your daughter is really unlucky to have a father like you!” Bian Xiang said angrily.

“You bunch of ungrateful people! When you need Younger Sister and I, you say that we’re family. Now that you don’t need us, you say that we’re outsiders! How scheming of you! Don’t tell us anything about the Bian family in the future! We won’t care anymore!” Bian Cui said angrily.

“That’s right! Since neither of us are considered part of the Bian family anymore! Don’t look for us anymore!” Bian Xiang said.

In any case, now that Old Master Bian was dead and the family was destined to decline, there would not be any more benefits left for the two of them. They might as well take this opportunity to completely cut ties with the Bian family so that they would not get dragged down in the future.

“Second Sister, Third Sister, calm down! Eldest Brother, we are all just too agitated now. Our father just passed away and it’s really not good for us to be talking about splitting up the family now. Let’s all calm down,” Bian Guo smiled and said as he comforted them.
