"Dad, this has nothing to do with us. We were just staying at home when some of my nieces-in-law suddenly came over and said something terrible had happened at home."

"We're still a bit confused. We were just thinking that nothing could happen to our family. We meant well."

"That's right, we've already separated and are living separately. We're not here to covet our family's belongings."

Both of Grandpa Xie's younger sons felt they had been used as pawns. Since they had already divided the family property, Grandpa Xie would be following his eldest son from now on.

Their lives are neither too good nor too bad; for the sake of the old man, as long as they live well, their lives are not bad.

Now that things are like this, it's obvious that the old man is angry with them. If he says something that has nothing to do with them, how can they take advantage of the old man to seek benefits again?

"That's right, Grandpa, it has nothing to do with us. It was all the idea of ​​my cousins. We're just soft-hearted and they coaxed us to come."

Seeing that their father had spoken up, the younger children quickly distanced themselves from the situation.

If they didn't say anything, Old Master Xie would feel better, at least they would still dare to take responsibility for their actions.

Their initial look wasn't fake, but their ugly faces now, trying to distance themselves and gain benefits, are even more disappointing to him than when they initially teamed up to cause trouble.

He thought of his old leader's house; back when those young men were still around, they would all rush to visit him, even if it meant risking their lives.

One sacrificed himself, and the other said nothing, but the determination in his eyes was heartbreaking.

The sheer determination to survive for his brothers and to carve out a path for his family was palpable.

But the Xie family has produced one selfish bastard after another; they're rotten to the core, and he can't straighten them out.

"Grandpa, we were wrong. We were too hasty back then. We all know that the girl from the Guo family married into a powerful family."

"When we heard that the fourth brother and his wife had offended someone, we panicked. We are a big family, we can't all be in trouble, can we?"

"We are also thinking about the Xie family. We are the younger generation, so we definitely need to consult with our two uncles."

“They weren’t like that back then. They would fly into a rage when they heard this, afraid of being implicated.”

"Now they're all talking nicely, and they've gotten all the good guys to do."

"In the end, we're separated by a room. We and Lao Si are brothers. If something really happens, we can't escape either of us."

“We will work together to find a solution to the problem. We are different from them. Grandpa, you mustn’t be fooled by them.”

Xie Jiacheng's older brothers and sisters-in-law were all worried, fearing that Old Master Xie would really abandon them.

"Grandpa, this has nothing to do with us. We're not married yet. If you separate us out, what will we do in the future?"

Xie Laowu and Laoliu were even more anxious. The two brothers were still young and didn't even have jobs yet.

"Alright, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I said we're splitting up, and that's final. I only want Xiao Si to take care of me in my old age. Everyone else, without exception, should go out and fend for themselves."

"I won't say much about those who were already separated. Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, you can go to the countryside."

“The neighborhood committee has come over and called several times already. The policy is there; if you don’t have a job, you have to go to the countryside.”

"Don't call me heartless. When I treated everyone equally, you said I was biased. Now that I'm doing it openly, I am biased. What can you do about it?"

"I promise I won't bother you when I'm old, or that no matter how much we offend people, it won't concern you, so you don't need to worry."

Grandpa Xie was utterly disappointed and had given up hope. Even if they were the worst, they would still have a temporary worker.

They can go out and find a shared apartment to live in; they won't starve. He can't take care of them forever.

"Grandpa, we were wrong, you can't abandon us!" The group was dumbfounded. If they were kicked out, where would they live?

Those shared apartments on the street, where can anyone live? This house is so spacious, and it all belongs to the fourth son. Why should he get it?

And the old man gets a lot of subsidies every month, and all of that went to the fourth son? Thinking about it this way, they felt they had been taken advantage of.

"Xiao Si, go get a pen and paper." Old Master Xie didn't listen to what they were saying at all. He said he would divide the family property and did it without leaving them any way out.

"Grandpa, I'll go get it." Zhang Leping looked at her foolish husband's hesitant face. If there weren't so many people around, she really wanted to ask him if he had lost his mind.

Haven't we been bullied enough by those three? They've lost their child and they're still not satisfied? We treated them like brothers, but they just wanted something bad to happen to them so they could get rid of us.

Zhang Leping quickly found paper and pen, watched as Old Master Xie wrote the family division certificate, and without caring whether they were willing to sign it or not, told them to pack their things and get out.

The families cried and refused to leave, so Grandpa Xie simply ordered the guards at the gate to chase them away.

Apart from their change of clothes and their money, they were not allowed to take anything else from the house.

The two younger uncles of the Xie family were terrified and quickly fled, fearing that the Xie family would try to take advantage of them.

Fortunately, when they divided the family property, the old man wasn't so heartless as to divide the old house between the two families.

Although the house wasn't big and was divided into two parts by the two families, at least there was a home, and each of the children had their own little room.

It's much better than these nephews being kicked out directly. They were afraid that the old man would realize what was happening and take their houses back.

But they were too optimistic. With nowhere else to go, how could those people possibly let them go? They came straight to their door and refused to leave.

Their words implied that if they weren't given a place to stay, they would cause trouble for the old man.

Since they're already in this situation, when the old man gets angry, he'll take their house back too.

Let's all end up homeless. There's nothing we can do about those two uncles who are just being stubborn.

The room, which was just big enough to live in before, suddenly became crowded, and there was constant fighting and chaos every day.

Zhang Leping, on the other hand, was overjoyed. She knew that the old man didn't value her, but rather her honest and upright husband.

She felt that she had turned misfortune into blessing, and secretly sent Suti several gifts, leaving them unattended regardless of whether Suti accepted them or not.

When Suti found out what had happened, she was both amused and exasperated. She had actually done a good deed by helping Zhang Leping.

Unbeknownst to them, this inadvertently solved a lot of trouble for them.

Many people originally wanted to follow the Guo family's path and climb up to the Li family in Beijing through them.

But now that they see the Xie family members backing down one by one, they know the Guo family is not easy to talk to.

He showed no mercy even to the bodyguards who had served Commander Guo for most of his life, so people like them were even less likely to be spared.
