"What's your business?" Meng clenched her fists and clamped her hands under her ribs. She looked so ferocious that she seemed like she could swallow Liu alive.

She hated Liu so much that her teeth itched.

Every time Gao made something delicious, she would do it behind her back. But Liu not only didn't do it behind her back, she also made it on purpose for her to see it, and then she didn't share any of it with her and Old Dingtou.

I just want to make them greedy.

If Liu was smart and capable, Meng might be okay with it, but she was not smart and now she was riding on her neck and pooping and peeing. How could she not hate her?

"Get out!" She pushed Liu without saying a word.

"Oh, my lady..." Liu said with a flattering smile on her face, "Our little six is ​​almost being bullied to death by the Tian family. If our family doesn't unite as Aunt Wu just said, we won't know whether the inn is named Ding or Tian anymore."

Wu Fengxian sneered inwardly, curled her lips, and thought to herself, this Liu is really something. She wanted to tear her alive before, but now she is so eager to call her Aunt Wu. What a shallow-skinned person, she thinks whoever gives her milk is her mother!

She was disdainful in her heart, but she helped her to add fuel to the fire. "The eldest brother's wife is right. Right now, your family should work together to help the sixth brother. The more people from your family go, the better. There will be more people, otherwise how will you drive away the Tian family?"

When Old Ding heard this, he realized it was indeed true and quickly stopped Meng, "It's such a critical moment. Why are you still making trouble among your own family? If you want to make trouble, you should drive the Tian family away first!"

"That's exactly the truth. Old brother understands it. Family members are connected by blood. You should discuss this matter behind closed doors. I'll take my leave first." Wu Fengxian achieved her goal, put a pack of tobacco in her pocket, patted her butt and left.

"Mom, please sit down quickly. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me, a junior." Liu changed her arrogant attitude towards Meng after the family split and helped her sit on the kang with a smile. "Our father is right. No matter how the family is split, we are still a family. What does the Tian family mean? We dare not let them plot against our sixth son."

Meng was still enjoying the way Liu was acting so servile in front of her. She felt herself recovering, and she glanced at her with her triangular eyelids raised. "What good ideas can you come up with? If you have any, tell me quickly, or I'll spit in your face!"

"Oh, Mom, our family has always had our dad and mom making the decisions, no matter how big or small. What opinions can we, as the younger generation, have? But there is one thing: we will follow wherever mom and dad tell us to. We will never watch our sixth son suffer at the hands of the Tian family!"

"Do you even need to tell me?" Mrs. Meng straightened her back. "My son runs an inn, so why would the Tian family stay there? Ask around, how could a parent-in-law live with their daughter and son-in-law? Not to mention that shameless old Mrs. Tian, ​​is she worthy of being called "old lady" by the guys in my son's shop? Isn't she afraid of a shorter life? Shameless old woman!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Liu was also very angry. "This is our family's shop. Who else but our mother is worthy of being the old lady? I don't know where she got the nerve. She's really lived like a dog!"

"Go and call the eldest brother and the others." Old Ding had a serious look on his face. Such a big thing had happened at home, and he had to call another family meeting, the first family meeting after the separation.

Liu agreed and hurried to call someone.

After everyone arrived, there were nearly twenty people, adults and children, crammed into the room, filling the beds. Old Ding coughed twice and glanced around the room. Everyone gradually quieted down, and this made him suddenly realize the feeling he had when he was the head of the family. He couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions, a myriad of emotions piling up in his heart, and he didn't know how to start.

"I'm fucking his tits!"

Old Ding suddenly burst out with this opening remark, which set the tone, and the rest of the conversation flowed smoothly. He told the story of how Old Six opened an inn and bought a house in the county town, and that Old Tian and his wife were living in the inn run by Old Ding's family, and that Tian's mother was also going to live there. The older brothers were all shocked.

No one except Fang thought about where the Sixth Brother would have gotten the money to open an inn and buy a house. All the eldest brother and the others could think about was that the Ding family had been taken advantage of by the Tian family, and it was a huge advantage. This was unacceptable. They were all furious and cursed the Tian family and their mother.

Call them mean and shameless!

"Have you ever thought about where the Sixth Brother got the money to finance this? Perhaps it was Sixth Brother's wife's family, her second uncle, and her uncle-in-law who lent them the capital." Fang had no intention of interfering, but seeing the Second Brother was also filled with righteous indignation and ready to fight, she couldn't help but throw cold water on him. "If that's the case, Sixth Brother's wife's parents and those who helped them are also right. There's no reason for us to make a fuss."

"You're talking bullshit!" Mrs. Meng had been eager to speak for a long time, but she had never found a suitable starting point. Now she finally got the chance to start her speech. She glared at Mrs. Fang and said, "The Tian family is dirt poor. How much money can her second uncle, a stinking escort, make? The escort agency was only established with the bounties that Mr. Ma received. How could they have any money left to open an inn for Lao Liu and his family? I think you just can't stand seeing our family doing well."

"Mother is right," Liu said. "Second brother, you've never paid much attention to our family's affairs. Sixth brother has been a waiter in town since he was a child. I've heard that some of his customers are very generous and smart. Who knows how much money he has saved up over the years without telling his parents. That money must be turned over to the public treasury, and everyone will get a share when the family is divided, including your second branch. If you don't want it, fine! But if you want to speak on the side of the Tian family, we won't agree."

Liu's words were met with enthusiastic response from Meng, who even glanced at her in admiration before continuing, "You should all research it yourself. The Sixth Prince paid for his marriage with his own silver, twenty taels each! I was already suspicious. If he didn't have over a hundred taels, how could he have just casually given away twenty taels?"

Meng's words triggered a wave of enthusiasm, making Fang feel uneasy.

The third brother said, "The money that the sixth brother saved was saved before he got married. It's public money. He used the public money to open the inn, and each of our rooms has a share. I don't think it's necessary to hire outsiders as waiters. Our own children are all grown up. There's no point in leaving our own family members alone and paying outsiders to do the work."

Gao remained silent. She wanted a piece of the action, but she also didn't want to be the first. Her past experience following her parents' lead and fighting against the fourth branch had taught her that following their lead would only lead to bad things. She figured the third brother had already made it clear he was on her parents' side, so she decided not to take sides this time, lest things go wrong and she incur the wrath of the sixth brother and his wife.

Having made up her mind, she just tried to smooth things over. At the end of the meeting, Old Ding coughed twice and announced the end of this family meeting. He would go to the county town with Meng and the eldest brother and his wife early tomorrow morning, and wait for them to go first. After they were settled, the rest of the people would go later.

The next morning, after breakfast, Old Ding and Mrs. Meng came over, each carrying two large bags, to call the eldest and his wife. Mrs. Liu saw them and asked, "Dad, Mom, what are you carrying? Are you not planning on coming back?"
