Shen Mingan was silent for a long time before speaking again, his tone full of fatigue.
"What are the conditions?" Old Man Shen asked in a deep voice.
He wanted to see what evil this third brother was up to.
"As long as Mom and Dad agree to sever ties with our third branch, I'll agree to split the family. Otherwise...either we don't split the family, or Mom and Dad live with our third branch after the split!"
Old man Shen looked up at Shen Mingan in surprise.
He didn't expect that his third son had such deep feelings for them.
He put forward such conditions, which clearly showed that he didn't want to be separated from them and was deliberately making things difficult for them.
A flash of guilt passed through Old Man Shen's mind, and his heart softened.
But this tenderness only lasted for a moment. When Old Man Shen saw his great-grandson Xiao Jinbao in the arms of his eldest grandson's wife and the grandchildren beside them, his heart hardened again.
Most of the onlookers at the door also felt that this was a difficult condition that Shen Mingan came up with because he didn't want to split up the family.
"Ming'an is the most filial of Shen Laoliu's three sons."
"That's right, this kid has always been on his parents' side since he was young."
"If you ask me, it's pretty good for Sixth Uncle and his wife to live with Ming'an and the others."
"What's good about that? Right now, the only two women in the Third House who are intact are Sister Xiufen and Xiaoli. If Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt lived with the Third House, they would have to work hard to earn work points to support Brother Ming'an and the others!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this Shen Mingan's abacus is crackling!"
Old Man Shen, Old Lady Shen, Shen Mingguo and Zhang Cuihong listened to and kept in mind the words of the onlookers.
Seeing that his father was still hesitating, Chen Mingguo poked Zhang Cuihong's arm and asked her to go up and add fuel to the fire.
Originally, he wanted his third brother's family to propose the separation themselves, but he didn't expect that his stupid wife would not be able to keep her composure.
So now she has to be the bad guy.
"Third brother, how can you be a good child? Aren't you obviously making things difficult for our parents by proposing this condition?" Zhang Cuihong stood up and said angrily.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame us. Ming'an just can't bear to leave his parents!" Zhao Xiufen, who usually doesn't speak much, suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean by you can't bear to leave your parents? It's obviously because you can't bear to leave your parents' work points!" Zhang Cuihong snorted coldly!
"I don't like what my aunt said. What do you mean you can't bear to give up my grandparents' work points? My grandparents are getting older and older, can we still let them work in the fields all the time? If I hadn't lost my job, after my grandparents came to our third room, I wouldn't have let them go to the fields to work on their own if they wanted to." Shen Qingli on the side retorted.
Shen Qingli's words softened Old Man Shen's heart for a moment.
Even Old Lady Shen, who had always been at odds with Shen Qingli, looked at her in surprise.
What a pity!
How great it would be if she was her own granddaughter!
Then she will definitely hold her in her hands and love her dearly!
"Everyone can say nice things. If you have the guts, get your job back!" Zhang Cuihong rolled her eyes. "Your whole family is still relying on others for support!"
"Bang!" Shen Ming'an threw the enamel pot he had just drunk water from to the ground.
The unfinished water in the enamel pot splashed everywhere as the pot fell to the ground.
Zhang Cuihong screamed "Ah" as a large area of her trouser leg was splashed wet.
The others were fine because the enamel pot was heading towards Zhang Cuihong.
"Since my sister-in-law has said so much, if we force our parents to live with us, it will seem like we have ulterior motives!" Shen Ming'an said with a cold face.
"It's good that you know!" Zhang Cuihong was still angry because Shen Mingan hit her with the enamel pot, so she spoke directly in a fit of anger, "If you know what's good for you, sign the severance document with your parents now!"
"Alright!" Shen Ming'an also said angrily, "Isn't it just a severance of the relationship? I'll sign it now! I don't believe that without the care of our parents and brother and sister-in-law, our third branch will starve to death!"
"You said it!" Zhang Cuihong was delighted. "Don't regret it and come back to ask your parents and us to help you!"
"Don't worry! I, Shen Ming'an, always keep my word." Shen Ming'an said in a cold voice with an expressionless face.
"Mom and Dad, my third brother has agreed to sever the engagement. You should ask the team leader to write the document to sever the engagement!" Zhang Cuihong ran to Old Man and Old Lady Shen with joy to take credit.
Who knew that what greeted her was a solid big bag from her own man.
"Chen Mingguo, you actually hit me!" Zhang Cuihong covered her face and asked in an unbelievable and harsh voice.
He was the one who signaled me, so why did he hit me after it was done?
"How dare you, an outsider, butt heads in the division of our Shen family!" Shen Mingguo raised his hand and wanted to hit him again.
"Okay, big brother, stop acting!" Shen Ming'an looked at Shen Mingguo, his eyes filled with three parts of coldness, three parts of sarcasm, and three parts of indifference.
This was the first time that his third brother Shen Ming'an looked at him with such eyes, and Shen Mingguo couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
What does this mean, Third Brother?
What did he see?
Impossible!
You hid it so well!
"Third brother, I don't understand what you said." Shen Mingguo forced an unnatural smile.
"Heh~ After so many years, big brother hasn't changed at all! From childhood to adulthood, big brother always liked to hide behind and instigate second brother to fight for you. Now, the target of instigation is another sister-in-law!" There was a bit more sarcasm in Shen Ming'an's eyes.
"Third brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want!" Shen Mingguo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dark light flashed in his slender eyes.
"Brother is pushing me into a desperate situation, what can I not say?" Shen Ming'an showed a contemptuous smile.
"We are brothers. We hope for your well-being so much that how could we force you into a desperate situation?" Shen Mingguo put on a gentle smile on his face again.
"I'm afraid even big brother himself doesn't believe this!" Shen Ming'an also had a playful smile on his face.
Tensions between the two brothers suddenly became high.
Just when everyone was nervously wondering whether the brothers Shen Mingan and Shen Mingguo would fight, Old Man Shen coughed and attracted everyone's attention to himself.
"Okay, you two brothers are so old now, and you are joking without knowing the occasion!" Old man Shen gave the two of them a warning look.
"Haha... It's not that easy to separate from my third brother, so I want to liven up the atmosphere!" Shen Mingguo said with a dry laugh.
"It's really uncomfortable. How about we not separate?" Shen Ming'an raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Mingguo.
He already knew what his eldest brother was planning.
And as for my parents, although they look troubled, they had actually already made up their minds to kick them out.
These past few nights, Xiaoli took Xiaojiuba to eavesdrop on their conversations every day, and then came back to repeat them, so all three families knew their plans and intentions.
Shen Mingguo was choked by Shen Mingan's words, and the word "no" almost came out of his mouth, but in the end he managed to hold it back.
However, Zhang Cuihong became anxious when she saw that her husband had no objection.
