Liu Yuelan led the person into the house, and Song Ning looked up and asked, "Sister-in-law Chunyan?"

Ma Chunyan smiled and said, "Did I disturb you?"

"It's alright, I'm drawing a pattern right now, I can show it to my sister-in-law."

As he spoke, he handed the drawing he had just completed to Ma Chunyan.

Ma Chunyan was excited the moment she saw those designs.

It does look nice and is more complicated, but if it could actually be made, it would definitely sell better than what's sold outside.

After putting the design back, Ma Chunyan asked, "Er Ya, did you come to see me during the day today?"

Song Ning nodded: "Yes, but since you weren't home, I went to find Sister Luo."

Ma Chunyan's face darkened; she knew it.

She waited all day, and as it was getting dark, Er Ya still hadn't come. When she asked her mother-in-law, she was told that no one had come looking for her.

She was worried, so she went to the Luo family's house and heard Luo Yingying tell her about what Er Ya had done that day.

I immediately realized that it must have been my mother-in-law who was behind it.

That's why I came to the Song family.

She had heard Zhou Ling'an say that this was a way to make money.

Now everyone knows the Song family is in business, and those families have made a lot of money following Er Ya. Only the Zhou family, because of their mother-in-law, doesn't dare to get close.

“Er Ya, Ling An told me before that you can call me whenever you want, I’m always available.”

"Okay, I'll draw the designs over the next couple of days. Once they're done, we'll start. Right now, it'll just be you and Sister Luo. Let's make a few of each design at first, and if they sell, we can continue."

Ma Chunyan smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Ma Chunyan was trembling with anger when she came out of the Song family's house.

She could tolerate any grievances from her mother-in-law at home before, but this time, she was really driven crazy by her mother-in-law's stupidity.

When she got home, Mrs. Yu glared at her and said, "Running out so late at night, always learning those improper things."

Ma Chunyan didn't say anything, but when she went to bed that night, she told Zhou Chengan that she wanted to separate the family.

She had thought it through. She would work hard to earn money with Er Ya from now on, and she would give her children what she was supposed to, but she couldn't let Er Ya take all the money she earned.

Zhou Cheng'an was initially unwilling, but when he heard his wife say that they could make money together with Song Erya in the future, he began to waver.

It wasn't that Ma Chunyan was wary of her mother-in-law; it was just that her mother-in-law couldn't understand the situation.

Which of these refugees can't be seen clearly now?

Everyone knows that following Er Ya is a way out. As long as you follow Er Ya, you're sure to make money. There are even quite a few people trying to curry favor with the Song family.

As for the Zhou family, the mother-in-law treated Er Ya like an enemy. If she hadn't gone there today, Er Ya wouldn't have had a chance to make a living.

Because Zhou Chengan treated her well, Ma Chunyan usually wouldn't hold a grudge, but this time was different.

If she doesn't separate from this family, she'll be bullied to death by her mother-in-law.

“Let me tell you, I’m determined to earn this money, and it won’t work if you try to stop me because of your mother.”

Zhou Cheng'an hugged his wife tightly: "Don't worry, making money is a good thing, and your mother won't object."

Ma Chunyan snorted coldly: "You won't object, but you'll encourage me to take advantage of Er Ya and try to get something for nothing from her. Have you forgotten what happened on the way here?"

When her mother-in-law shamelessly asked Er Ya for food, she felt incredibly embarrassed.

"Even putting that aside, Er Ya and her third brother's relationship has finally improved recently. If your mother gets involved, the relationship between the two families will be ruined again."

Ma Chunyan finally understood that even if Er Ya really became the daughter of an official, her mother-in-law would still look down on her.

Once a prejudice is planted in your mind, it is not so easy to change.

If she wants to work hard and earn money with Er Ya, the family must be divided.

Zhou Cheng'an knew his mother's temperament, so for the time being, he could only agree to his wife's request.

The next day, Zhou Cheng'an didn't dare tell his whole family directly, but quietly mentioned it to his father.

Zhou Cheng was surprised that his eldest son would suddenly bring this up, and he was angry. But when Zhou Cheng'an explained Ma Chunyan's situation, Zhou Cheng paused.

Then he sighed.

Fine, let's break up then.

The Zhou family now has two sons. One advantage of Madam Yu is that she doesn't show favoritism.

They did value Zhou Ling'an's education, but they also valued their eldest son.

As soon as Zhou Chenggang mentioned dividing the family property, Madam Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

She flung her finger at Ma Chunyan and began to curse, "Was it you? Ah, was it you who instigated Cheng'an to split up the family property! You haven't even been able to have a child all these years, and now you dare to bring up splitting up the family property..."

Ma Chunyan knew this would happen, so she didn't argue. All she wanted now was to divide the family property.

Zhou Cheng'an agreed, Zhou Ling'an agreed, and Zhou Cheng also agreed, so Yu's opinion became less important, and the family eventually split up.

The Zhou family had considered this issue beforehand, and built a few extra rooms when constructing the house, so the young couple now have a place to live.

She only gave them some things for daily life and meals, and the money was what she had earned recently. Because she needed to support Zhou Ling'an's schooling, Ma Chunyan didn't ask for much, only the money for buying food during this period.

After seeing the designs drawn by Song Ning, Ma Chunyan was very confident that the things they made would sell well.

These days, there's no such thing as a village chief anymore. The division of the family property was settled simply by having the county magistrate stamp the document.

But no one expected that in the afternoon, Yu would actually cause a scene at the Song family's house.

Ma Chunyan came to the Song family last night and said she would be dividing the family property the next day. Madam Yu was convinced that Song Ning had instigated it.

As soon as Liu Yuelan opened the door, Madam Yu tried to rush into the house, but fortunately Song Dahai was there and pushed her out.

Unable to get in, he considered smashing the door with a stone, but remembering the current state of the Liu family, he didn't dare.

Yu had a loud voice, and even on this cold day, she started shouting in the courtyard.

"Song Erya, you jinx! You're meddling in my Zhou family's affairs instead of your own! Come out here and let everyone see what you're really up to..."

Song Ning was asleep when she was woken up by the noise outside. She had been drawing late last night and couldn't stay awake after lunch, so she fell asleep.

The loud noise woke Song Ning from her dream.

I thought I was having a nightmare.

After listening carefully, I realized that someone outside was cursing.

Seeing Song Ning sit up and try to get out of bed, Old Madam Liu quickly came over to stop her: "Er Ya, you can't go out now."

"What's wrong?"

"The Zhou family's daughter-in-law is in the yard right now, looking to settle accounts with you."

Song Ning finally realized what had happened, and sighed, rubbing her forehead. This Madam Yu didn't like her, so she blamed everything on her.

After Song Ning finished dressing, she went out of the courtyard. A crowd had already gathered outside. Ignoring the cursing and swearing Yu Shi in the courtyard, Song Ning waved to Li Xingwang, who was not far away.

He whispered, "Brother Xingwang, could you go to the Zhou family for me?"

Li Xingwang understood what she meant and nodded: "Okay."
