That night, after Li Guifang fell asleep, Li Jianghai started his pancake-making business again!

As expected, I got slapped a few more times. "Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"

"No," Li Jianghai shrank his neck, his voice unconsciously lowering, "I just wanted to ask, you're dividing the family and setting rules today, it's making my head buzz..."

Li Guifang didn't explain clearly, and he was afraid that next time, if he offended the old woman, she would also send him away!

Li Guifang looked up and glared at him: "What's wrong? Are you feeling bad?"

"No, no..." Li Jianghai waved his hands quickly, shaking the quilt, "I'm just... just curious..."

The room was quiet for a few seconds, with only the chirping of insects outside.

Li Jianghai bravely asked again: "Well...are you really going to post their naked photos on the bulletin board?"

Li Guifang laughed and reached out to pinch his waist: "You old man, you worry about nothing!"

Li Jianghai chuckled and moved closer to his wife: "I'm just... worried that you'll scare the children..."

"Scared?" Li Guifang snorted coldly, "You haven't seen how ugly they are! If we don't do anything, they'll dare to tear the roof off tomorrow!"

As he spoke, his tone softened, "You've seen what the boss has been like over the years, and I'm worried they'll follow his example.

If not, we should discipline them properly when they need our help, and when we are unable to do anything, they will ask us to leave!"

Li Jianghai blinked in the dark, his eyes feeling a little hot.

When I looked up, I met Li Guifang's bright eyes.

"Old man," Li Guifang said softly, "I was wrong before." Her voice was choked with sobs. "I just wanted to be good to myself."

Li Jianghai hugged his wife in his arms, patting her back gently with his rough hands: "Yes, yes... I'll do as you say..."

Outside the window, moonlight quietly sprinkled in the yard. The lights in the east room finally went out, and the old couple's hushed voices could still be heard faintly:

"That photo...isn't it?"

"Stick! Stick anyone who doesn't obey!"

"Well... then you should also prepare the picture of me fishing in the river..."

"Damn old man!"

The same scene was playing out in each room of the Li family. In the east wing, Wu Xiaomei and Li Minghua were also discussing their mother's division of the family property.

"Minghua, what do you think happened to Mom this time..." Wu Xiaomei lowered her voice, her eyes sparkling, "Why did you suddenly figure it out?"

Li Minghua turned around after hearing this, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Shh..." He put his index finger to his lips, but couldn't hide the joy in his voice, "Keep your voice down, don't let Mom hear us talking behind our backs."

Wu Xiaomei smiled, "I really didn't expect it," she leaned close to Li Minghua's ear, "Mom is so good to us!"

Li Minghua held his wife's hand, naturally warming it in his palm. "Mom has always seen our efforts."

Wu Xiaomei's eyes suddenly turned red. "Mom remembers it all."

Her voice choked with sobs, and her fingers twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously. She had always known that the old lady favored the eldest daughter, but she just pretended not to mind. Who knew that she was jealous and crazy.

Unexpectedly, this time, the old woman actually sided with their family!

Wu Xiaomei suddenly stood up and took out a cloth bag from the bottom of the chest of drawers: "I want to give this to Mom."

When Li Minghua opened it, he saw a semi-finished woolen vest with fine and even stitching, which was obviously the work of his wife.

"When did you..." He looked up in surprise.

"Last month my mother said her shoulders hurt, and I thought it would come in handy in a few months when winter comes," Wu Xiaomei said a little embarrassedly.

"Let's send it off later. We should remember all the kindness mom has shown us and repay her slowly."

Alone in the ear room, Li Mingli couldn't help shedding tears of relief. Her mother's change this time gave her little heart a great shock!

The mother's impartial decision this time was like a key that opened the long-standing knot in the hearts of the whole family.

She thought of her third sister-in-law's tears today!

Yes, as long as mother can be a little more righteous and not so biased towards the eldest brother's family, how can we be unfilial?

Over the years, it’s not that the children are not caring, but every time they see their mother being partial, they always feel upset.

Li Mingyu in the west wing does not have the deep love of his third brother's family, nor the caring and joy of his fifth sister.

He was lying on the bunk bed with his legs spread out, snoring like thunder. With the rise and fall of his breathing, "Hu-lu-hu-lu-"

......

The next evening, after dinner, when Li Mingjuan was enjoying the cool air in the main room, she came. No need to guess, Li Guifang knew why she came!

"Mom! You're going to let someone stab our spine!"

The bicycle that Li Mingjuan rode was still lying on its side in the yard.

He had already walked into the main room, his forehead covered with beads of sweat from the hasty journey.

The room suddenly became quiet under her loud voice.

"Second sister?" Li Mingli straightened up from the stove, her hands still covered in foam. "Didn't you say next week..."

"If I don't come back, this family will fall apart!" Li Mingjuan grabbed the enamel pot and took a gulp of cold boiled water, the water dripping down her chin onto the cement floor.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me about such a big deal as dividing the family? You're also going to separate my eldest brother? Who will you live with in the future? If this gets out, won't the neighbors say our family has no manners?"

Li Guifang wiped the table with her wrinkled sleeves and looked at her second daughter.
