It's unclear who in the crowd said that, but their words brought everyone to their senses.

“Yes, we can split up!” The team members all thought this was a good idea; in their case, splitting up meant two separate families.

Even if they are your own parents, you can't take care of them except for providing for their old age.

“Su Zhiqing, how about this? Let’s separate the family first, and then we’ll report it to the commune and see how to handle this matter.”

Several of the comrades who came looked at Suti, fearing that she might disagree.

"Will they stop beating me if we split up?" Suti seemed hesitant, as if he was really afraid of being beaten.

"Yes, once you separate, you'll be two separate families. If they dare to make a move again, then we'll have a legitimate reason to arrest them."

Everyone thinks that family squabbles are family matters, and no matter how much they fight, they should be resolved internally.

Even if the police come, they can't do anything about it. If it involves two families, and they still have to fight and kill each other, that's definitely not acceptable.

Otherwise, if people start fighting each other because they don't like each other, wouldn't that create chaos?

"Let's split up first and see. I'll trust you this once." Suti glanced at everyone, seemingly genuinely trusting them.

Everyone felt embarrassed by the trusting look in her eyes, thinking to themselves that this girl was truly naive.

No wonder she was fooled by her sister, and the Wei family dared to scheme against her like that; she's too trusting.

“Dividing the family? We don’t agree to dividing the family. Why should we divide the family? As long as our parents are alive, we will not divide the family. This is a rule left by our ancestors.”

Huang Cuifen is still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, nor what awaits her family. All she knows is that she cannot let her second son's family go.

This wasn't just because of what the second son's wife had; there were things more important to her than that.

"You don't have the final say on this. If you dare to cause any more trouble, we'll take you away directly."

"When the time comes, your whole family will be in jail. There's really no need to divide this family property anymore; it will all belong to someone else."

Those police officers saw that even at this point, they still dared to cause trouble; they clearly didn't take them seriously at all.

They were initially worried that Su Zhiqing would disagree, and were in a dilemma, but they didn't expect Su Zhiqing to have no objection, so they dared to speak up.

They've become incredibly lawless and unruly.

"Husband..." Huang Cuifen was extremely anxious, constantly looking at Wei Changgen.

Wei Changgen looked at Su Ti, then at Wei Baichuan, and then at the people who were about to devour his family.

He knew that his family was finished this time, and he would have to split the assets whether he wanted to or not.

"Fine, let's split up." Wei Changgen closed his eyes and said this through gritted teeth.

He knew that if he said he wouldn't split the family, his whole family would really end up in jail, and then the family would truly be beyond splitting.

They can't go to jail; as long as they're safe and sound, they can plan for the future.

No matter what, they are the second son's parents, and he will take care of them for the rest of his life.

He refused to believe that a father could be defeated by his son. He thought that no matter how capable he became, he would be ruined by the label of being unfilial.

They're not the only ones willing to go all out; even if they ruin their homes, he won't let them get away with it.

"The head of the household?" Huang Cuifen looked at him in disbelief. How could he agree to that?

"I said divide the family property, divide all the things in the house," Wei Changgen shouted, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour someone.

Huang Cuifen was so frightened that her legs went weak. After so many years of marriage, she knew her husband was going crazy.

“Our family is broke, and we still have to give the old Party Secretary's family fifty yuan. Our things have been smashed to pieces, so what are we supposed to get?”

Even though things had come to this point, Huang Cuifen was still thinking about how to ensure her family wouldn't suffer any losses.

"Then how about we don't break up? Baichuan and I will just go out and beg for food again," Suti said weakly.

She wanted to see if the people in Yangliu Brigade would allow them to go out begging, and if the commune would allow a young intellectual to go out begging.

“Huang Cuifen, over the years, everyone knows who is who. Even if your family is not the brigade leader’s family, it is impossible for an ordinary team member’s family to separate and have nothing left.

"And what does your compensation to the Party Secretary's family have to do with Baichuan and his wife? You have to give their things back to them, and you can give the rest to whichever son you want."

The team members knew that the Wei family was definitely in trouble this time, and they weren't worried about retaliation. Now they were more concerned about saving face.

"How dare you talk to me like that?" Huang Cuifen was taken aback. In the past, when she was in the brigade, everyone fawned over her.

They were hoping their family would arrange an easy job for them, but now that the tree has fallen, the monkeys have scattered, and they all dare to point fingers at her.

"Who do you think you are? You really think you're something special. If you're going to split up the family, then do it properly. We're all watching."

The team members began to denounce the Wei family. Wei Changgen watched them glare at his family, something they wouldn't have dared to do even if they had a lot of courage before.

He hasn't even lost his position as captain yet, and he's already in this state. He's feeling dizzy and disoriented. How are they going to get through this?

"Stop arguing, old woman, take everything out and divide it up." Wei Changgen managed to utter these words through his throat.

We can't afford to lose face; today, their agreement is not an option.

Huang Cuifen glanced at Wei Changgen, then burst into tears, burying her face in her hands.

In the end, there was no other way but to take out all the money the family had saved over the years, more than 130 yuan, and divide it up.

"My dowry money is all in your hands, you have to give it back to me." Su Ti would never let go of any opportunity to cheat the Wei family.

"You don't have any money here. This is all the money you have at home. If you don't believe me, go look for it anywhere."

Huang Cuifen never imagined that even now, things would turn out this way, and she still wouldn't be satisfied. She really wants to drive them to their deaths!

If she didn't know that dying was pointless, she would have loved to smash her head against this little bitch's head and die right in front of her. She hated her to death!

Suti stopped talking and nestled sadly in Wei Baichuan's arms.

“Captain Wei, since we’re talking about dividing the family property, let’s give all of this 130 yuan to Su’s family as compensation.”

The people in the brigade and the police officers all knew that they must have taken money from Su Zhiqing, but they denied it and even made them search the place.

Isn't this because they're confident they can't find them? Otherwise, how could they be so assertive?

After thinking about it, they decided to give all the money they had taken out to Su Zhiqing. Although it might not be enough, at least it would be something.

"Why? This is outrageous! How can a family divide its assets like this?" Huang Cuifen exclaimed, her eyes wide.

Before she could say anything more, a few bolder men rushed over and snatched the money from her hand.

"Alright, that's how it's divided. Nobody has any objections." The Women's Federation comrade made the final decision, and the family was divided just like that.

All the household items were also divided up, including the chicken that Suti killed.
