Chapter 605 Hating those who have, laughing at those who have none

The matter with the Cao family should be considered resolved. After all, the family has now separated, and the eldest son's wife and the third son's wife should not dare to bully Wu Dani.

Besides, Wu Dani is not a child anymore. She has a long life ahead of her, and she can't always rely on others to help her when she is bullied. The important thing is for her to stand up for herself.

But when President Yu glanced at Lu Qiaoge, who was still there, and then at Cao Laoda's wife, whose eyes were full of resentment and obvious jealousy, his heart sank and he began to overthink things.

There has never been a shortage of people like Cao Laoda's wife in this world.

They either don't understand or don't want to understand the principles of the world.

They only care about what's in their own best interest.

It's the kind of person who only cares about their own comfort and doesn't care about the lives of others.

They lack compassion and fairness.

They certainly wouldn't empathize with those whose circumstances are worse than theirs.

They will also resent those who have and laugh at those who don't.

For example, when Wu Dani was being bullied by him, he bullied her while thinking that Wu Dani was a useless coward who couldn't give birth to a son and deserved to be bullied.

But now that Wu Dani's eldest daughter is about to make something of herself, he resents his own good fortune. Why is it that such good fortune didn't fall into his family's lap? It's best that it didn't fall into his family's lap; he doesn't want anyone else to have it.

If something happens to Cao Zhaozhao, what's the use of killing the person who harmed her?

He was the head of the commune.

This is no small matter.

At the very least, Cao Zhaozhao must be safely handed over to the military leaders.

President Yu gave Cao Lao Er and Wu Dani a disappointed look, then asked Old Cao, "Now that you've separated the family, have you thought about how your sons will live?"

Before Old Cao could speak, Cao's eldest daughter-in-law interjected, "Even if the family is divided, we still need time to build a house. There's no reason to kick our children and grandchildren out right after the division."

Besides, I don't agree to this way of dividing the family property. Why should we be the ones to pay back the money our third son owed for his wedding? I won't agree to divide the family property until this is made clear.”

Then, staring at Cao Zhaozhao, she said, word by word, "If we have to divide things this way, and Cao Zhaozhao can't go to the army, don't blame me, Su Guihua, for not saying the unpleasant things upfront."

Lu Qiaoge frowned.

Cao Laoda's wife is named Su Guihua.

Although Cao Laoda's wife was just a woman, the idea that she was a great contributor to the Cao family because she gave birth to the eldest grandson and had three sons controlled all her actions, and she did indeed benefit from this.

Don't think this is just an ordinary rural family. Farmers have a very hard life, especially in the 1970s when mechanization was not widespread.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Su Guihua has become a beneficiary of the system.

She can eat ready-made meals without having to do anything.

She can also have a say at home without having to worry about anything.

Even when conflicts arise, she can disregard Old Cao and Old Cao's wife.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Su Guihua is a formidable person.

Although she was feisty, she wasn't stupid.

A fool doesn't know how to seek benefits for himself.

Just like now, Su Guihua has quickly figured out the benefits of not separating the family.

She said these things partly to remind Old Cao, and partly to threaten Wu Dani.

"Even if President Yu and the captain were there as witnesses, and many senior officials were watching, could you force me to split up the family if I disagreed?"

Besides, my family doesn't have a single penny right now. Not only do my grandparents not give us any money, they're also giving us debts. Are we supposed to starve? We might as well all jump into the river and die.

President Yu glanced at the silent Old Cao.

Suddenly, it dawned on him that the old man probably had heard that Cao Lao Er or Wu Dani would be given jobs, so he was considering not separating the family. After all, if there was a worker in the family, it would mean that they would receive a salary every month, and if the family did not separate, then the salary would be under his control every month.

After all, the Cao family should be ruled by Old Master Cao.

So the old man regretted it and let Cao's wife spout nonsense.

They really want to take advantage of every opportunity.

His second brother frowned. He liked some of what his sister-in-law said, but he didn't like some of it.

Wu Dani didn't listen to anything else.

He had heard his sister-in-law's threat earlier.

His two hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.

Both eyes were fixed on Su Guihua, who looked smug.

At this moment, Old Cao spoke up: "Well... President Yu, Factory Director Lu, and all the cadres, you all saw it just now, right? I, Old Cao, actually divided the family property very fairly, but my eldest daughter-in-law doesn't agree, so there's nothing I can do. We can only discuss it slowly. You all go about your business, and we'll handle the rest behind closed doors."

The third son's wife was initially quite happy that the debts had been divided among them, but the thought that she would also have to bear the burden made her unhappy again.

Then I remembered that if my second brother arranged a job for me, I would have a salary every month.

If the family splits up, it will have absolutely nothing to do with the third branch of the family.

So she said, "When I entered the family, we agreed that how much money you owed had nothing to do with me. If I could afford it, I would marry you; if I couldn't, I wouldn't marry you. I didn't necessarily want to enter your Cao family. Now that we've separated the family, you're pushing the debts back onto us. Sister-in-law, you think it's unfair, and I think it's unreasonable too."

This time, President Yu was truly angry. Anger, however, made him appear calm. He didn't even glance at Su Guihua, nor did he try to discuss it with Cao Lao Er or Wu Dani, because he had already lost faith in both of them.

He planned to send the family directly to the commune, and then have the troops pick up Cao Zhaozhao smoothly.

This is the most important thing right now.

He couldn't be bothered to give the Cao family a second glance at their shrewdness.

If these people put their energy into the right things, wouldn't they be living a good life?

Just as he was about to speak, a figure suddenly pounced on Su Guihua.

This is Wu Dani, who is on the verge of collapse.

She is not actually a weak, easily bullied, or submissive person.

But because she didn't have a son, she felt ashamed to face her family.

So she endured all the suffering and grievances, thinking every day that she would never have to suffer like this again once she gave birth to a son.

She doesn't have a son now, but her eldest daughter is very successful.

As for the review, she felt there would definitely be no problem, since the Cao family had a clean background and had been poor for generations.

There was no one in the family who committed any crimes.

They are all honest farmers who work the land diligently.

So the review will definitely pass.

Otherwise, Director Lu wouldn't have spoken to her with such certainty.

When their eldest daughter joined the army, their whole family became military dependents, receiving a monthly allowance and being offered jobs.

Whether it's arranging a job for her husband or for her, it means securing a stable, secure job.

Now that the family has separated, how can we not live well?

Moreover, after the family split up, she no longer had to put up with all this messy behavior.
