"Oh, this is really true! She herself has no man, and now she wants to force her three sons to be single with her?"
"Why is Chunxue like this? Hongjuan always called her a wicked mother-in-law, but I didn't believe her. Now she's chased my second daughter-in-law away too... It seems Hongjuan wasn't lying after all."
"Look at Zhang Chunxue's fiery temper, and you'll know she's not someone you can get along with easily! Who knows how anyone who becomes her daughter-in-law will be tortured!"
There were rumors everywhere in the village.
Even the girl who originally wanted to marry Zhong Chengyi was now hesitant.
After all, marriage is a lifelong event. If you really meet a bad mother-in-law, you will have to endure it for decades for the rest of your life!
As this person was talking, the topic turned to Song Xingzhi again.
"Didn't you all say before that Secretary Song had a crush on Zhang Chunxue? Is someone like Zhang Chunxue worthy of Secretary Song?"
"That's right! We need to have a good talk with Secretary Song!"
They were even discussing going to talk to Song Xingzhi about this matter.
Aunt Qin, who had a good relationship with Zhang Chunxue, rolled her eyes when she heard these words.
"Does Secretary Song really need you to nag him? He's right there at the brigade headquarters! Didn't he know about Zhong Chengren and Zhou Mingli getting a divorce before us?"
She snorted again, "Besides, Chunxue has a bit of a hot temper. I've never heard of her torturing her daughter-in-law!"
"As for Li Hongjuan, what good words can she possibly say? Are you still sympathizing with her now?"
"Mrs. Zhou, when he was plotting against you, you said you were going to tear her mouth apart. Have you forgotten?"
The aunt he mentioned suddenly froze in her face.
Aunt Qin snorted again, "Besides, do you know the ins and outs of the Taiga divorce? How can you say that Chunxue is torturing his daughter-in-law?"
"That Li Hongjuan, she used to steal things from her husband's family to support her own family. Chunxue didn't do anything to her, did she?"
She glanced at them and said, "I think you're probably jealous of Chunxue and Secretary Song because of what happened. You're deliberately making this up!"
Several aunties and grandmas' faces suddenly turned red.
"Qin Biwen, what are you talking about!"
"That's right! We were just saying it casually... Who's jealous of Zhang Chunxue?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore... let's talk about something else!"
Several aunts and grandmas quickly changed the subject.
However, not long after they started chatting, a bombshell news came.
Zhang Chunxue actually went to find the old elders of the Zhong family and the village chief Zhong Aiguo, asking them to preside over the division of the family!
Everyone was immediately excited and rushed to Zhang Chunxue's house to watch the fun.
Zhang Chunxue guessed that Zhong Chengren and the others had already arrived at the brigade headquarters, so she went to find the elders of the Zhong family.
In the Zhong family, the person with the highest seniority now is Zhong Guosheng's seventh grandfather, who is almost eighty years old this year. In such a large family as the Zhong family, he is the youngest of his generation and the only surviving one.
Also coming with Seventh Grandpa were Great Grandpa’s son Zhong Maolin and Second Grandpa’s son Zhong Maoqiao.
Zhong Guosheng's grandfather was ranked fourth, but he passed away earlier.
When Liu Cui'e learned that Zhang Chunxue wanted to divide the family business, she immediately came with her son and daughter-in-law.
If Zhang Chunxue wants to divide the family property, she must take Min Guosheng's pension, and she must have a share of it!
After Zhang Chunxue went to ask Grandpa Qi to come, he went to Zhong Aiguo's house to talk to him.
Zhong Aiguo's eyes widened: "Why are we suddenly splitting up?"
Zhang Chunxue just smiled and said calmly, "The children are grown up now, so it's better to separate the family."
She paused before saying, "I've already informed Grandpa Qi, as well as Uncle Maolin and Uncle Maoqiao."
Zhong Aiguo saw that he couldn't persuade her like this, so he sighed and said, "Okay, you go back first! I'll come over later!"
He changed his clothes, took the village seal, thought for a while, and asked his eldest son to find Song Xingzhi.
By the time Zhong Aiguo arrived at Zhang Chunxue's house, there were already quite a few people gathered outside her gate. Grandpa Qi had just walked into the main hall with the support of his son Zhong Maosong.
After all, I am old and walk slowly.
Zhong Maolin and Zhong Maoqiao arrived first. When they saw Grandpa Qi coming, they quickly called out "Uncle Qi" and stood up to help him sit down in the main seat.
Nowadays, the clan concept is actually not that important. However, matters such as dividing the family still need to be presided over by the elders of the family, so as to avoid the brothers complaining about the uneven distribution after the division.
Zhong Aiguo also walked in, called several elders one by one, and then sat next to the seventh grandfather with the courtesy of Zhong Maolin and Zhong Maoqiao.
Zhong Chengfa and Zhong Chengyi stood obediently by the door, and Zhong Chengren was on his way back.
Although Grandpa Qi's eyes were a little cloudy, he was still in good spirits, but his memory was not very good.
"Divide the family, who wants to divide the family?" He asked his son as soon as he sat down.
Zhong Maosong was a little amused and said, "Dad! It's Chunxue's family who wants to divide it! Chunxue! Guosheng's wife!"
"Guosheng!" Grandpa Qi suddenly realized, "Where is Guosheng?"
Zhong Maosong's mouth twitched: "Dad, Guosheng has been dead for many years."
Grandpa Qi seemed to have remembered this incident and sighed as he took out his pipe: "Guosheng! I still remember that this kid was very obedient when he was young..."
As he was speaking, Liu Cui'e squeezed into the yard with her eldest son Zhong Guoqiang and youngest son Zhong Guoyong.
"Zhang Chunxue! Who allowed you to split up the family business? Did you get my consent?"
Zhang Chunxue was pouring tea for Grandpa Qi. She didn't even raise her eyelids when she heard this: "We separated a long time ago. What does our family's affairs have to do with you?"
Liu Cui'e was choked and immediately cried to Grandpa Qi: "Seventh Uncle! Look at Chunxue, that bitch..."
Grandpa Qi looked at her, then looked at Zhong Maosong: "Who is this?"
Zhong Maosong gave an awkward but polite smile: "Dad, this is Cui'e, Maoyang's wife."
Grandpa Qi looked at the crying Liu Cui'e and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Why didn't Mao Yang come and take her away? Why let her cry in someone else's house?"
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She didn't know whether Seventh Grandpa was really senile or just pretending.
Liu Cui'e's crying suddenly stopped.
Zhong Maosong coughed lightly and said, "Dad, Maoyang has been dead for more than ten years..."
Grandpa Qi nodded: "Oh... then what is Mao Yang's wife doing here?"
Zhong Maolin, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but shook his head: "Seventh Uncle, you are really getting old and confused... Chunxue is Cui'e's daughter-in-law."
