Just say it, Ding Youtian smiled coldly. Anyway, his parents had decided to kick their family out of the house, so he must fight for what he should fight for.

He straightened his back and spoke loudly, "We have fifteen acres of good farmland at home. Since my parents are determined to separate the four of us, we have six sons, so the land should be divided into six parts, two and a half acres per family. And there's also the family money. After deducting the money needed to build the house we live in now, a rough calculation of the annual expenses and income shows that my parents have at least fifty or sixty silver coins left, not to mention the extra money they have."

He reported all the income and expenditure over the years in one breath, from big things like building houses and weddings and funerals in each family to small things like buying needles and thread. Mrs. Meng was so angry that her eyes almost popped out.

"I don't ask for much. I should get my share of the five taels of silver from my parents, right? I need money to hire workers to repair the old house, and to buy medicine for Dabao's medical treatment..."

"Bang!" Before he could finish his words, Meng's shoe hit his shoulder.

If Old Ding hadn't told Meng to shut up first, she would have wanted to beat him to death as soon as he proposed to divide the land. Later, when she heard him mention money again and accurately calculated the remaining money in her hand, she could no longer bear it, took off one of her shoes, rushed over, and angrily gave him a shoe blow.

"Have you ever seen anyone in this family take medicine just for a headache or a fever? Is it your mother or your father? A bastard dies and he dies. Whether he survives or not, it's his fate! You still want land and money, bah!"

The sole of Meng's shoe nearly stabbed his nose. "You black-hearted bastard! You gave birth to a bunch of money-losing children. What do you want land and money for? Which of the third and fifth houses doesn't have a son? Don't you think before you open your mouth? Your sixth brother hasn't married yet, and he needs money to get married. Your nephews' education and future marriages will also require money. Where will all this money come from? Don't you rely on those land and that little money?"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she wanted to beat him to death.

"You act like a dead dog on weekdays. You don't seem to care about working in the fields, but you scheme against your parents and brothers behind their backs! I was so blind that I didn't realize you were such a black-hearted person!"

"Okay, even the dead know that guarding a coffin is a good thing. There must be something to do." Old Ding waved his hand, signaling Meng to stop talking.

He was secretly surprised by what Ding Youtian had just calculated. He never expected that this son, who he thought was incompetent, actually had a clear mind. It turned out that it was not in vain that he had sent him to school for several years.

However, in his opinion, it was of little use to have a clear account. Once the money was in one's pocket, anyone who knew how to count would know how much money was in his pocket. It was useful to be a good worker.

He also knew that dividing the fourth branch like this would be a loss for the fourth branch, so he stamped his foot and said, "Forget it, I'll give you two more chickens. Don't say another word, that's it. Your mother was right just now. Your sixth brother and your nephew's future education and marriage all depend on the family's land. Don't try too hard, it's useless. I've given you everything I can, and it's useless to say more for what I can't give you. It's better to save some money as soon as possible."

"You debt collector, I really owed you in my past life..." Seeing Ding Youtian lose two chickens just by asking for it, Meng was so angry that she swung her shoe and lashed him on the back. "Why don't you get out of here? Take your whole house of sluts and run away to hell. Never set foot in this house again. Get out! Get out!"

Although Ding Youtian was resentful of his parents' partiality, he also knew that they were determined not to give him any more land or a single penny.

Although he knew it was hopeless, he still glanced at his father before leaving, hoping to see a hint of warmth in his father's eyes and hope that he would give him some more things.

However, he was disappointed. All he saw was endless indifference and disgust...

In the courtyard, Mrs. Liu from the first wife's household and Mrs. Gao from the third wife's household were grinning from ear to ear. The division of the fourth house had greatly benefited all of their families, and they both felt it should have been split off long ago to prevent it from becoming a burden to everyone else. Seeing Ding Youtian emerge from the main hall, they hurried forward and pulled him aside.

Liu lowered her voice and said, "Fourth Brother, do you think your parents really have fifty or sixty taels of silver? Did you guess that, or did you overhear them mention it? Tell your sister-in-law the truth."

Gao also said, "Second brother and his men asked for two hundred coins this morning. Mother said earlier that we couldn't even afford salt this month and that we'd have to tighten our belts. Are you sure you can keep your word?"

Ding Youtian crossed his arms over his chest, narrowed his narrow eyes, and scanned their faces. Suddenly, he stretched his neck forward, and they both turned their heads and pricked up their ears.

"Two sisters-in-law, guess?"

After he said that, he laughed twice and was about to leave.

"Fourth brother!" Liu grabbed him and said, "Sister-in-law has always been on your side. Half the roof of that old house has collapsed. Are you really willing to be driven there like this? Sister-in-law is so worried about your family. How will you live if you separate? Otherwise, go and beg your parents again. If they don't agree, you will refuse to leave. Aren't you the best at imitating your mother's throwing a tantrum?"

"That's right." Gao also said, "You weren't picked up. You and your eldest and third brothers were born to the same parents. I'd rather die than leave. Third sister-in-law really feels sorry for you, but we can't make the decision for our parents. We want to help you, but we're powerless, right, eldest sister-in-law?"

Ding Youtian seemed moved by their words. They quickly struck while the iron was hot and were about to ask him if he had heard his parents say that there was so much money, but he nodded and said, "My two sisters-in-law are right to remind me. We are all raised by the same parents, and I will not give up."

After saying that, he turned around, ran to the main hall door, sat down on the ground, slapped his legs and howled: "Dad! Mom! My eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law both said that your division of the family property was unfair. If you don't give me some land and money today, I will never leave..."

"Neighbors, come and judge for me. Which parents are so partial? We are all brothers, born and raised by our parents. My father named me Youtian but didn't give me half an acre of land. He's deliberately trying to kill off my family's livelihood..."

His outburst frightened Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Gao so much that they regretted it so much that they were afraid that their parents would change their minds because of him. But when they saw that his parents didn't come out even after he shouted at the top of his lungs, they suddenly realized that their parents were hiding on purpose.

Since that was the case, they didn't hesitate any longer. One of them grabbed his arm, pushed and shoved him, and dragged him to the side yard, blaming each other as they walked.

Gao: "You knew he liked to make trouble, yet you instigated him to do so. What evil intentions did you have?"

Liu: "You said less than I did, didn't you? You even stood up for him. Now, if he refuses to leave and demands land and money, then I'll give him all the land from your three branches."

Gao was so angry that her mouth almost twisted when she heard this. She threw Ding Youtian away and pointed at Liu and cursed, "Why are you dividing the land between our three families? Who do you think you are? Is it your turn to be the head of this family?"

Liu was not a pushover either. The two of them usually did not get along well with each other, and each had her own agenda. How could she allow Gao to point at her nose and scold her?

He immediately ignored Ding Youtian and started cursing Gao.

The two of them started fighting, but Ding Youtian stopped. He crossed his arms and watched the show leisurely, as if he was not involved.

When they realized that they had been teased by Ding Youtian and wanted to settle the score with him, they heard Erniu crying from the side yard next door, followed by the howling of Gao's youngest son Ding Quan like a pig being slaughtered.
