"Fang'er is back. Come in quickly and let me see if you have lost weight." Yu Jinmei heard her eldest daughter's voice and asked them to come in.

"Mom, I'm not thin at all. I'm in good health." Huang Lifang brought her husband and children into the hall.

"I, the son-in-law, pay my respects to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and wish them good health!" Zhang Shude bowed and greeted Huang Fugui and Yu Jinmei.

"Good, good, we are all healthy!" said Huang Fugui and Yu Jinmei.

"Grandson Zhang Haoxuan, nice to meet grandpa and grandma. May grandpa and grandma be in good health and live a long life!"

"Granddaughter Zhang Lan, meet grandpa and grandma, wish you good health!"

"Grandson Zhang Haojie, I'm honored to meet you, grandpa and grandma. I wish you good health!"

Zhang Haoxuan brought his younger brothers and sisters to pay their respects to his grandparents.

"Okay, okay, Haoxuan has grown a lot taller, Meilan has become a little beauty, and Xiaojiejie has grown taller. You have met my aunt and uncle in the past." Yu Jinmei smiled from ear to ear and asked Zhang Haoxuan to go and say hello to Huang Lijuan and Yang Zhongyi.

"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt!"

"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt!"

"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt!"

Zhang Haoxuan brought his younger brothers and sisters to greet Huang Lijuan and Yang Zhongyi.

"Okay, this is a little gift from my uncle and aunt." Huang Lijuan took out three purses from her sleeves and gave them to them respectively. There was one or two taels of silver in them.

"Aunt, we don't want it." Zhang Haoxuan quickly declined.

"Third sister, you can't do that." Huang Lifang also stopped her.

"Second sister, this is a little gift from us, not much." Huang Lijuan said to Huang Lifang.

"Haoxuan, you cannot refuse a gift from your elders, so just accept it. This is a little gift from your aunt, and you must remember her kindness." Yu Jinmei said to Zhang Haoxuan.

"Grandma, we understand. Thank you, aunt and uncle." Seeing that his grandmother wanted them to accept it, Zhang Haoxuan had no choice but to take his younger brothers and sisters to accept it as well.

"No need. Has Haoxuan gone to the academy to study?" Huang Lijuan asked Zhang Haoxuan.

"To answer your question, auntie, no." Zhang Haoxuan said to Huang Lijuan frankly.

"No, Haoxuan, do you want to study? Do you want to go to the academy at your aunt's place?" Huang Lijuan heard Zhang Haoxuan say that he didn't want to study, and thought that maybe her second sister's family life did not allow it. If he wanted to study, she could take him back and send him to the academy in the county or town.

"Haoxuan wants to help his parents with work, to help them." Zhang Haoxuan didn't say whether he wanted to or not, but just used work as a metaphor. In fact, he liked to study, but his family's financial situation did not allow him to study, and he also wanted to help his parents.

"Haoxuan is such a good boy. Take your younger brothers and sisters to the second courtyard to play with your cousin." Huang Lijuan also knew that Zhang Haoxuan's words were just an excuse. It was impossible for him not to like studying, so she asked him to take his younger brothers and sisters to play with Qingman and the others.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, mom and dad, I'm taking my younger brother and sister to play with my cousin." Zhang Haoxuan said to the elders.

"Go ahead. You can't bully your cousin, okay?" Huang Lifang said to Zhang Haoxuan.

"I know, Mom!" After saying that, he took his younger brother and sister to find his cousin. He was also very curious about what his aunt's five little cousins ​​looked like. He hadn't seen them for many years, especially the youngest cousin, whom he had never seen.

"Second sister, Haoxuan is nine years old now, right? Why hasn't he been sent to academy?" Huang Lijuan asked Huang Lifang curiously.

"To be honest, Third Sister, our family's financial situation doesn't allow it. Education costs a lot of money, and we simply don't have the extra money to send him to school," Huang Lifang said shamefacedly. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she simply couldn't. She had mentioned it to her parents-in-law, but she was scolded by her mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

"It's my fault that I don't have the ability to earn enough money to send Haoxuan to school and make my wife's life better." Zhang Shude felt that he was a useless person who could not give his wife and children a good life.

"Forget it. Even if you earn more money, it won't be enough for your mother to give to your third brother's family." Huang Fuan happened to walk into the hall and heard what Zhang Shude said, so he spoke up.

"What do you mean? Explain it to me, little brat." Yu Jinmei knew what must have happened after hearing Huang Fuan's words.

Sure enough, what Huang De'an said made her very angry, and she decided to wait for Lijuan to return and then go to Lifang's parents-in-law to discuss the division of the family property.

"Mom, this is what happened..." Huang Fuan told his parents what happened at his second sister's house.

"Okay, in that case, Shude, you might as well separate from them." After listening to this, Yu Jinmei controlled her anger and spoke to Zhang Shude in a gentle voice.

"Mother-in-law, let's separate the family, but my parents won't agree." Huang Shude said with embarrassment. He has always been a filial son. He couldn't propose to separate the family and ignore his parents who gave birth to him and raised him.

"Fourth brother, did you hear it wrong? Third brother's wife would never say such a thing. Father and mother, it is indeed not a good idea to divide the family." Huang Lifang knew what kind of person her husband was. It was impossible for him to propose dividing the family.

"Second sister, I heard it clearly." Huang De'an did not receive the hint from his second sister, but he was very sure that he had not heard it wrong.

"Second sister, as your younger sister, I shouldn't talk about your family affairs, but I think I should remind you that if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your three children.

"After you split up, you can use your own strength to support Haoxuan or Haojie's education. Only through education can they escape the countryside. If you really can't afford it, you can send them to my place and I'll help them with their studies. But if you don't split up, I can't help you even if I want to. Think about it carefully, second sister." Huang Lijuan reasoned with her and moved her with her heart, hoping that her second sister would think of Haoxuan and the others and leave that den of wolves.
