Chen's mother remained adamant: "No, there's absolutely no way we'll separate the family property unless I die."

He sat down and sulked.

Finding someone you like is supposed to be a happy and joyous occasion.

Unexpectedly, things turned out this way: one wanted to separate the family, while the other disagreed.

He just wants to marry the girl he loves, why is it so difficult?

Seeing their son like this, the parents felt bad, as most of their family's money came from their youngest son.

The grain came from the eldest son, whose family had been arguing about dividing the family property before. Now, if the eldest son's wife heard about it...

It seems this family is about to fall apart.

Therefore, dividing the family property is absolutely unacceptable.

"Son, how about we, the old couple, go talk to Shengnan? At worst, when she marries into the family, she can do whatever she wants, and if she doesn't want to, we won't interfere. We also won't let her do any farm work. What do you think?"

"Mom and Dad, it's no use. They just want to separate the family now. Otherwise, don't even mention engagements and marriages to them. I saw the brigade leader's family separated the other day. If they can separate, why can't we?"

The mother was somewhat afraid to look at her sons. In the past two years, she had been frequently flattered because of her two outstanding sons.

As a result, when she's happy, she likes to give away the best things in her house.

She also felt embarrassed to refuse relatives who came to borrow money, as they had all sorts of difficulties when she asked for it. Although Xiao Si had received a considerable allowance before, she hadn't managed to save any of it over the years.

If her two sons now live separately from the family, what will she eat and spend in the future?

How can we possibly have a good life then? Therefore, this family absolutely cannot be divided.

Unable to win against her son, she resorted to her old tactic: "Oh dear! Are you trying to kill your old mother? I'm old and useless now, and both of them are clamoring to separate from the family. I think I might as well just die."

Jiang Jin couldn't stand his mother's behavior any longer, and finally said helplessly, "Please get up from the ground, I won't mention the matter of dividing the family property anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother slapped her thigh and stood up from the ground.

“I knew my son wasn’t that heartless; he still cares about his old mother.”

Jiang Jin had come up with a plan that would allow them to maintain the family structure while simultaneously achieving the goal of separation.

That means that after they get married, they will settle down near Chen Shengnan's university and send some money to their parents every month.

They don't come back unless there's a specific reason, and they only come back for holidays or festivals.

If Chen Shengnan feels uncomfortable living here, she can go back to her own home.

Having thought of this perfect news, he couldn't sit still for a moment.

He washed his face at the well and was about to go out.

Before he could even step out of the courtyard gate, Jiang Lan called out to him, "Fourth Brother, where are you going so late?"

"Second sister, I want to talk to Shengnan about something."

Jiang Lanxin thought to herself, "Just as I thought. My fourth brother is completely infatuated with that little vixen."

She smiled and said, "It's getting late, it'll be dark soon. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to go now."

Jiang Jin glanced at the sky; it was indeed getting late. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go help Mom and Dad cook. I'll go see Sheng Nan tomorrow."

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Jiang Lan smiled.

The next morning, Jiang Jin got out of bed very early, carrying the gifts he had bought the day before, and headed to Chen Shengnan's house.

Lan had just gotten up when she saw this scene. She smiled and walked over, asking, "Are you planning to go to Shengnan's house?"

Jiang Jin nodded; "I've thought of a good way to keep the family together and get Sheng Nan to agree."

Jiang Lan looked at him with concern and said, "What method is it? Tell me about it. I think if it's feasible, Sheng Nan will probably think it's feasible too."

Jiang Jin thought about it and agreed, so he gave a brief explanation.

After listening, Lan clenched her fists.

According to Jiang Jin's explanation, what's the difference between that and splitting up the family?

She can still benefit from her two older brothers' presence here now, but she doesn't want to stay here to care for her parents when they get old.

If both older brothers do this, wouldn't she be the only one left in the end?

That won't do. It seems Chen Shengnan really can't be the fourth brother's girlfriend.

Otherwise, this family will really fall apart.

"Fourth brother, I just saw Chen Shengnan go out with her parents. They must be visiting relatives. I heard they won't be back until tonight. Why don't you wait until tomorrow to go?"

Jiang Jin didn't suspect anything and put the things back. Then he said, "I'll go to the fields to help my parents with some work."

"When your parents left, they told you that you've been working very hard in the army every day, and since you're only back for a few days, they want you to rest well at home today."

"I'm not tired. You stay home and help make lunch. I'll go do something for a bit."

Lan reached out and stopped him, saying, "Fourth brother, you rest at home and go tomorrow. Otherwise, Mom and Dad will definitely scold me again when they get home tonight. Also, I didn't see you eat breakfast this morning. Even if you're going to the fields, you should eat something first. There should still be some mixed grain porridge in the pot. You wait here, I'll get two bowls, and we'll each have one."

As she spoke, Lan pressed the person down onto a stool in the main room, and she quickly ran to the kitchen.

Sure enough, there was still porridge in the pot. She poured the insemination drug that someone had given her for the sow into one of the bowls.

Then he walked towards Jiang Jin, saying, "Let Fourth Brother have some porridge first."

Just as Jiang Jin was about to drink the mixed grain porridge, Jiang Lan stared at him intently. Just as he was about to drink it, there was a knock on the door.

He put the bowl down again; "I'll go open the door first, Second Sister, you eat first."

Jiang Jin opened the door and was about to close it when Sun Yuan blocked him with her body, saying, "Brother Jiang Jin, why are you in such a hurry to close the door? They came to help you."
