Chapter 96: Separation

"You're talking nonsense. What does this have to do with dad? When did dad tell them about it?" Yang Jinqiang was unhappy. The other person took the initiative to exchange with him. It had nothing to do with dad.

Yang Fugui also nodded seriously and said, "I really didn't help your eldest brother with the room allocation. Besides, I don't have the ability to do it! Second brother, do you believe what Dad said?"

Yang Jinwei nodded repeatedly, "Dad, I definitely believe what you said. How close our families are, how could I not know? Qiuyan is just overthinking. Big brother's room allocation was purely luck."

Su Qiuyan also knew that it was too far-fetched to say that Yang Jinqiang's room division had anything to do with her father-in-law, but she still said stubbornly, "Even if it's not related, I just feel uncomfortable. I told my mother before that eating walnuts can nourish the brain and be good for the child, but she didn't bring some for me. I'm still pregnant now, why can't you pay more attention to me?"

"In the end, you are just thinking about the walnuts that Jinsheng and the others brought back?" Sun Erni snorted coldly.

Su Qiuyan was not to be outdone. She stood up and said angrily, "What's wrong with me thinking about it? Isn't this something from home? Shouldn't we all eat it together? Don't you think so, sister-in-law?"

As she was talking, she also asked about Li Huifen who was watching the fun on the side. She just didn't believe that Li Huifen would not want to take advantage of her.

"I..." Li Huifen was about to say something when Yang Jinqiang pulled her aside. She could only wave her hand and said, "Don't ask me. This is about you. Don't involve me."

"Hmph, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Mom, do you think what I said is wrong? Don't pull me. I want to tell it today. I've been enduring it for a long time." Su Qiuyan ignored her husband's pulling and kept complaining.

"Second brother, don't pull her, let her talk, I want to see what she can say." Sun Erni was also angry. As a mother-in-law, she did not enjoy any happiness at all. She had to stick her butt out to work for them every day and was still despised. Who could she blame?

"Okay, Mom, you told me to tell you. You see, I didn't tell you before, because you treated me and my eldest sister-in-law the same. But since the third brother got married, you've changed. You've always sided with the third brother and his wife, especially after Jiang Xinbai got pregnant. It's even more obvious. You gave her everything good at home, even the children had to take a back seat. Do you think there's such a thing?"

"So what? It's my money, I'm happy to spend it. Besides, Xinbai can give me a grandson, can you?" Sun Erni was not afraid of her. She had the confidence, and she didn't spend their money. Oh, they are not old yet, and this is it. Can they still count on them in the future?

"How do you know that I can't give birth to a son? I asked someone to check and it's a son this time. Why do you look down on me?" Su Qiuyan's eyes turned red with anger. Why is her mother-in-law so biased and so confident? Is Jinwei not her biological son?

"Let's wait until the baby is born." Sun Erni made the final decision.

Jiang Xinbai and Yang Jinsheng on the side silently ate the rice in their bowls and dared not make a sound. They did not expect that the second sister-in-law Su Qiuyan would be so resentful, but they were the beneficiaries, so they would not say anything high-sounding at this moment to avoid making people hate them even more.

Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Su Qiuyan's face turned red and white, then white and red, changing back and forth, but she finally calmed down and said, "There is one more thing. I just want my elder sister to help me find a job. Jiang Xinlan upstairs can find a job in the canning factory. I don't believe that my elder sister, as the wife of the factory director, would not know about this. It's not that I don't want to give her money, but my elder sister just doesn't take me seriously..."

"Tsk, how do you expect her to take you to heart? Who are you? She doesn't work in the cannery, how would she know that someone is selling a job? To put it bluntly, you just want us to pay you to buy a job, can't you just say it directly? Why complain to Xiufen, Lao Er, do you think so too?"

At the end, Sun Erni specifically asked Yang Jinwei a question. She wanted to know whether this was Su Qiuyan's idea alone or whether both she and her husband thought so.

"Mom, how could I think like that? Hey, Qiuyan has been under a lot of pressure recently. Please don't take her words to heart..."

"Okay, stop talking. I understand everything. You just feel that your life is too good." Yang Fugui said suddenly.

"Dad, we are not..."

Yang Fugui waved his hand to signal Yang Jinwei not to speak. He looked around at the people in the living room, sighed and said, "As the old saying goes, when a tree grows big, it branches out; when a son grows up, he splits up into his own family..."

"Dad, old man..." Now everyone couldn't stay still anymore and stood up one by one. They couldn't just split up the family.

Sun Erni really didn't want to separate the family. Although she was a little tired of living together, she didn't want the old couple to be alone even more.

Jiang Xinbai didn't want to separate the family either. If they did, how could she have a ready-made meal right after work? Living together, her mother-in-law could help take care of the children, so she could go to work with peace of mind.

Su Qiuyan was just impulsive at the moment. She was even more reluctant to split up the family. Although she could be the head of the family after the split up, her husband would be the only one working, and they would definitely not be living as well as they do now.

"Stop talking. I've had this idea for a long time. Xiumin, come out too. Don't hide in there." Yang Fugui shouted towards his own room.

Yang Xiumin gently opened the door a crack, walked out under the gaze of her brother and sister-in-law, and sat down next to her mother with her head lowered.

"Okay, now everyone is here. Let me say this first, don't speak unless you are told to. Do you understand?" Yang Fugui looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law.

Everyone nodded seriously.

Yang Fugui looked at the rooms in the house and said, "There are only a few rooms in the house. Since the eldest brother has been allocated a house, you can move in sometime! As for the rooms where the second and third brothers live now, they will belong to you. Xiumin will move to the eldest brother's room. When Xiumin gets married and the room becomes vacant, any of you who wants it can pay the rent to the eldest brother. Are you all satisfied?"

"I have no objection." Yang Jinsheng shook his head. For now, one room is enough for their family of three. Besides, it will take a long time for Xiumin to get married. Maybe something unexpected will happen by then, and he can get a house!

"We don't have it either." Yang Jinwei took Su Qiuyan's hand and shook his head.

Yang Jinqiang and Li Huifen naturally had no objection.

Yang Fugui nodded, "The rooms have been divided. You haven't handed in your wages yet, so you've only paid 10 yuan for food. So there's nothing much to divide up at home. You don't have to pay for food from next month."

Li Huifen learned her lesson. Although she felt somewhat unhappy about not getting a share of the money, she did not dare to say anything.

But Su Qiuyan was different. Since she had already said it, she would say it thoroughly. She glanced at her father-in-law and said hesitantly, "Dad, Jinwei is the only one working in our family. Isn't that a disadvantage?"

"Is it me who doesn't allow you to go to work?" Sun Erni couldn't bear it any longer.
