Zhou Hongyu almost clapped excitedly when she heard this. Serves her right!

They need to be dealt with severely!

The thought that her daughter Mei-ying could have become a self-made millionaire, but was squandered by the third wife, made her grit her teeth in hatred and wish she could skin the third wife alive!

Before Old Man Chang could even open his mouth, the third branch of the family couldn't hold back any longer.

Chang Guofu gave him a look, and Sun Yanxia immediately jumped out.

"Auntie, you're not satisfied with such a fair arrangement? What exactly do you want? We who suffered losses haven't said anything!"

Old Man Chang nodded silently. Yes, that's going too far!

He was seething inside, but dared not express his anger on the surface.

Zhou Hongyu rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight, but was stopped by her mother-in-law, who confidently told her to let her mother handle it!

"Now you're talking about fairness? Why didn't you demand fairness in the first place? Oh, now that it's your turn, you have to demand fairness! In the end, we still have to think about you, right?"

Old Man Chang blushed with embarrassment; he hadn't expected it to come to this...

The third wife remained defiant, while Sun Yanxia openly defied all pretense and made a scene.

"Auntie, since you're not satisfied with Dad's arrangement, then you two can divide it up yourselves. I want to see how you'll be fair!"

Chang Guofu remained silent, clearly agreeing with Sun Yanxia's words: "If you can't do it, then do it yourself!"

Granny Zhou gave the Chang Lanhua sisters a questioning look, as they hid away like cats.

And you?

"We agree with the third wife's opinion!"

Granny Zhou stretched her limbs and told the Chang couple, "Then I'll uphold justice for your family!"

Old Chang's face darkened; there was no need for that!

Granny Chang smiled broadly: "My dear in-law, since everyone has agreed, please do me a favor and give me some advice!"

Granny Zhou raised her head slightly: "I always try to persuade people with reason. Just listen to what I have to say!"

Old Man Chang: If you didn't resort to violence so easily, I wouldn't even bother standing here listening to you!

"If it weren't for this incident, I would be very satisfied with Lao Chang's arrangements!" Granny Zhou said slowly.

Old Man Chang nodded proudly. See? His idea was so good that even the domineering Granny Zhou thought it was excellent.

So why bother saying so much? Let's just leave it at that and save ourselves from further arguments!

Granny Zhou continued, "However, someone harbored malicious intentions and was plotting something bad from the very beginning. You two old folks told your youngest son and two daughters about this, completely ignoring the eldest and second sons. It's obvious that you're biased!"

Granny Chang remained calm and secretly told Zhou Hongyu, secretly, without anyone knowing that she was the one who leaked the information.

Chang Guofu and the third wife both thought that the cunning Chang Meihua had discovered something amiss, and then dragged Chang Lanhua back to her parents' home to cause trouble, which led to the first and second wives finding out about the matter.

Old Man Chang tried to explain: "My dear in-laws, what we initially thought was that the fewer people who knew, the less likely it would leak out. After we sold the four-courtyard house, we planned to share the money with everyone. We didn't mean to be biased..."

"Is the truth biased?"

Old Man Chang remained silent. Even after the Chang sisters learned about the matter, he still chose to listen to his youngest son and refrained from telling the eldest and second wives!

Granny Zhou sneered, "Since you've shown favoritism towards me, don't expect a fair outcome!"

The Chang sisters, most afraid of not getting any advantage, quickly jumped out and shouted, "Then my dad's arrangement is very reasonable; it's already biased towards the first and second wives!"

Old Man Chang nodded silently again. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said! He was absolutely right!

Granny Zhou: "Well said! Since you all think that Old Man Zhou's arrangement is biased towards the eldest and second wives, then let me ask you how you can still sit still! Hongbing's wife, let me ask you, what was your first thought when you found out about this?"

Chen Zhaodi's veins bulged: "I'll kill them!"

Old Man Chang shrank back in fright at her fierce tone.

Fortunately, the Chen family wasn't as domineering as the Zhou family, and the eldest son was still able to keep his daughter-in-law in check!

Granny Zhou: "So here I can only divide it into eight parts according to favoritism. My Hongyu gave birth to four children for the Chang family, so she should get four parts. The eldest son's two children should get two parts, the third son's children should get one part, and the remaining part is for you two old folks. You can give it to whomever you want!"

Chang Lanhua's mind exploded, and she instantly wanted to pounce on Zhou's mother and daughter and tear them to pieces.

The two sisters split one-eighth, while the second wife's family took half—what a pipe dream!

Chang Meihua reacted quickly and grabbed her older sister's waist.

You can't hit or scold Granny Zhou, or you'll lose your life!

When Zhou Hongyu first married into the family, the two sisters were young and hot-blooded. Once, in front of Zhou's mother-in-law, they insulted her by calling her an old hag. Immediately afterward, the in-laws were summoned for talks by their work unit leaders, the street office, and other strange departments.

Later, Chang Meihua's in-laws found out that Zhou Hongyu's father, who had died young, used to be an official in the Northwest, and his position was not small!

The third wife's face was completely gloomy.

Old Man Chang felt this was going too far; if it were done this way, all the benefits would go to the eldest and second wives!

He's not being biased, he's just...

Granny Zhou saw right through his little scheme: "What parents would be biased, right? Sometimes they think of this one, sometimes they think of that one. Before, they thought of others, but now they're showing favoritism to the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife! I don't think either of you in-laws are being biased at all!"

Old Man Chang was speechless. He couldn't possibly admit that he only favored his youngest son and two daughters!

Since they've given us leverage, we have no choice but to accept our fate this time.

Old Chang thought to himself that his youngest son and two daughters had suffered a great loss this time, and he would find a way to make up for it from other sources.

Perhaps the backyard, which has been uninhabited for a long time, can be cleaned up, a few tenants can be found, and the rent can be used to subsidize the other tenants. Over time, this can help make up for the losses of the other tenants.

He knows the first and second wives well. This time he received a huge benefit. As long as he doesn't go too far in the future, taking rent subsidies should be feasible.

Old Man Chang hardened his heart: "That's how it's arranged. No one is allowed to tell anyone about this. If I hear any rumors outside, your mother and I will not give away a single penny of this money. Once we get the money, we'll put it in a fixed-term deposit in the bank until we both pass away!"

Even the most foolish person knows that money will become less and less useful in the future; killing a thousand enemies only results in losing eight hundred of your own—it's a losing proposition.

The matter was already settled, and the third wife was so angry that she left.

The Chang Lanhua sisters wished they could pounce on Zhou Hongyu and bite her a few times!

Chang Meihua's face was filled with barely suppressed anger: "Dad, you can't make a decision about this!"

She looked smugly at the first and second wives: "You don't know what's going on behind the scenes, do you? This is Mom's house. As long as Mom doesn't agree, you can say whatever you want!"

She looked at Granny Chang with full confidence.

Old Man Chang's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this; perhaps there was still a chance to try and salvage the situation...

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want the other companies to suffer such a huge loss!
