Chapter 16: Separation



The crying of the child in the room gradually weakened. The child stopped crying under the coaxing of his mother, but there was still grievance on his little face. Qi Wanfeng touched the child's head with heartache, told him to be good, and turned to serve her husband lying on the bed.

"Wanfeng." After being served and letting out all the water in his stomach, Cao Xiangnan remembered what the doctor said about Qi Wanfeng's pregnancy and her body was not very good. Seeing that his face was so pale, he grabbed his hand with some concern, "Your body..."

"Husband, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, just take care of An'an and don't let him run around." Qi Wanfeng gave her husband a reassuring smile. He was a little dizzy after getting up early, but he didn't take this physical discomfort to heart. He turned back to coax the child a few words, let the child take care of his father in the room, and hurried out.

Qi Wanfeng made breakfast. He cooked a big pot of porridge and some pickled vegetables at home. He served the porridge in two small bowls.

Qi Wanfeng couldn't even take care of himself, so he went into the house to serve his husband and children. After serving his husband and children, he had a few bites of his own food. There was still people waiting for him to clean up outside, so he took the bowls and chopsticks and went out after eating.

After breakfast this morning, Cao's father didn't rush to work in the fields like he did in the past. He sat there and smoked a pipe. Cao Fugui didn't know why his father didn't leave after eating today and was still sitting here. He could only sit next to his father.

Seeing the head of the household smoking a pipe without saying anything, Chen Zhu gave him a look and called Qi Wanfeng, who was about to wash the dishes. His tone softened a lot and he called out, "Wanfeng, put down the things in your hands first and wash them slowly. Your mother and your father want to talk to you about something today."

"Mom, father, what's the matter?" Qi Wanfeng saw his mother being so gentle to him for the first time, and he was a little worried. He didn't know if he had done something wrong to make his mother unhappy again. Even his father looked grim, and he felt a little uneasy.

"Evening Breeze, it's like this. Mom and your father have discussed it and have something to tell you." Chen Zhu saw that the head of the family didn't say anything, so he took over as the evil man. He shouted, "The eldest and second eldest families, you also sit over here. Your father and I have discussed it and decided to split the family. Now I will tell you about the split."

"Mom, aren't we all good? Why do we have to split up?" Cao Fugui is an honest man. In his mind, the family has been together all their lives. Why should they split up? He doesn't want the family to be separated.

His wife Chen Li pinched him, and he dared not speak and shut up.

Chen Li glared at her husband, saying that he didn't know anything but just talked nonsense. He quickly smiled and said, "Whatever Mom and Dad have to say, just tell us. We'll listen. We'll listen to what Mom and Dad say." Dividing

the family was just what he wanted. Now that Fourth Uncle was lying in bed, it was unknown how much the medical expenses would cost. The fourth uncle's family had a disabled child, and Qi Wanfeng was pregnant. If the child was born, they would have to support the fourth uncle's family. Anyway, if Mom divided the family, his family wouldn't suffer any loss, and he had a plan in mind.

"Yes, Mom, just tell us. We'll listen to what Mom says." Second brother Wang Yan agreed with a smile.

When Chen Zhu said this about dividing the family, everyone gathered around.

The older children understood what it meant to divide the family, but the younger children still didn't understand anything and couldn't settle down for a moment. They were still running around in the yard chasing each other. The eldest and second oldest brothers looked at their mother expectantly.
