Soon, word spread that Li Mingxi was dying. Upon hearing this news, Shen Mengli was terrified. After all, this man's fainting was related to her. What if the Li family didn't let her go? With Niu Cuihua's fierceness, she could tear her apart.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. In the end, she wondered if she could go somewhere to hide from the limelight, so she thought about returning to the city. But the problem was that she didn't have a letter of introduction. What should she do?
The idea of escaping overnight came to mind at this time, so in the afternoon, Shen Mengli simply skipped work and stayed in the dormitory to pack her things. Because she wanted to escape secretly at night, she only packed up her personal belongings and left the rest in their original places to create an illusion.
Old Li's family had no idea about the rumors in the village. After dinner, Niu Cuihua asked Li Aijun to invite several respected people in the village. When the people who were originally having dinner at home heard that Old Li's family was inviting them, they thought something had happened and came without stopping.
When they arrived at Old Li's house, after Li Tieniu finished explaining, they realized that they were going to split up the family, so they all tried to dissuade him. After all, in this day and age, even the most drastic events didn't require a split. But Li Tieniu had already decided to split up the family, so no matter how much they tried to dissuade him, the result was the same. So, in the end, under everyone's witness, Old Li's family split up.
I only heard Niu Cuihua say: "Over the years, excluding daily expenses, our family now has a total of 1,000 yuan. This money is not only sent back by the second child, but also earned by the fourth child. Now divide the money into five parts, 200 per person. The second child's share, keep it with me first, and give it to him when the second child comes back in the future. As for the house, each family lives in it and belongs to their own family. The main room and the kitchen belong to your father and me. As for cooking, line up and each family cooks their own until you build your own house. As for the remaining pots and pans, except for the necessary bowls and chopsticks for each family, the rest can be divided into three parts, and your father and I will live with the fourth child. From now on, each family only needs to give your father and me 70 kilograms of food every year. During the New Year and other festivals, you can be filial if you want. If you don't want to, your father and I won't say anything."
No one in the Li family had any objection to the previous words, but when Niu Cuihua said she wanted to live with the fourth brother, the Li family was in an uproar.
Li Aijun jumped out first, "Mom, how can you and Dad follow the fourth brother? Won't this make people scold me? I'm the eldest brother, shouldn't you follow me?"
Li Tieniu also raised his doubts, "Yeah, old lady, didn't we agree to follow the boss? Why did you change your mind again?"
Niu Cuihua was unreasonable and said, "I don't care, you can follow whoever you want, but I'm following Lao Si anyway."
Niu Cuihua thought to herself that Xiaoxi was the lucky star, and no one could separate her from Xiaoxi. Anyway, if the old man wanted to follow the eldest brother, he could follow him, and she didn't care. They were a bunch of idiots, and she didn't care.
The elders who came to bear witness were quite disapproving of Niu Cuihua's proposal. Li Tieniu's second uncle said, "Cuihua, your proposal is not acceptable. We know you want to follow the fourth brother because you can't bear to leave your little granddaughter, but the villagers don't know. Wouldn't this affect Aijun?"
Team leader Li Tiezhu also spoke up, "Yes, in two years, it will be difficult for Xiangyang and Xiangjun to find wives!"
Niu Cuihua knew everything they said, but she just wanted to follow Xiaoxi.
She just said, "Whatever they say, this is my division of the family, and I have to do things according to their mood. Anyway, it's settled."
"Today we are dividing the family, please have a witness so that we can discuss this matter later."
Seeing that the old woman still refused to give in, Li Tieniu said, "Sorry to bother you all. Today, when the villagers know about the result of our separation, if they misunderstand me, I will trouble you to help explain it to me."
Seeing that this was the result, everyone said, "Okay, okay."
Seeing that the division of the family business was complete, Li Tieniu arranged for his son to send the few people over.
This was destined to be an extraordinary night. Everyone in the Li family was still in a daze while lying in bed, thinking about everything that had happened during the day. For a moment, they couldn't believe that they had split up.
The first place they went to was Li Aijun's house. Zhang Xiuzhi asked her husband in disbelief, "Dad, are we really splitting up?"
"Yeah," Li Aijun replied in a daze.
Hearing the man's answer, Zhang Xiuzhi pushed him angrily and said, "I'm asking you a question, but you're just being perfunctory."
This really pissed off Li Aijun. He sat up and yelled at Zhang Xiuzhi, "It's late at night, are you going to let me sleep?"
"Besides, you've been clamoring for a split up all along. Now that it's done, are you satisfied?"
"What do you mean I'm satisfied? Haven't you thought about splitting up the family? If you were so reluctant, why didn't you stop me?"
Hearing this, Li Aijun immediately felt guilty and lowered his voice: "Okay, stop talking, someone might hear you, go to sleep!"
As he said this, he was about to hug Zhang Xiuzhi.
"Don't touch me," Zhang Xiuzhi said as she turned to the other side.
At the same time, Liu Zhaodi was happily counting the money she got today. It was 200 yuan, she had never seen so much money in her life.
"Dad, how are we going to spend all this money? I think we should save it all and use it to marry Wumao later."
Before Li Aimin could respond, she could be heard muttering to herself, "This money will all belong to us from now on. I have to keep it for myself. No one else can take it."
Li Aimin said, "Why are you clamoring to split up the family business? Isn't that unfilial?"
When Liu Zhaodi heard what Li Aimin said, she got angry. After being married for so many years, her husband was still like this. He could associate everything with filial piety. If she hadn't deliberately pestered him and said that he had ruined her innocence, he would probably have listened to his wife and not married her.
Then Liu Zhaodi said viciously: "You only listen to your mother all day long. Then go find your mother."
"What are you talking about? My mother raised me, so why can't I be filial to her?"
Liu Zhaodi said angrily, "I didn't say you shouldn't be filial to your mother, but look at it, does your mother even have eyes for you? Day after day, she only has the fourth brother's family in her heart. You're so nice, and you're even trying to get ahead of me. I don't know why I fell in love with you in the first place."
Li Aimin listened to Liu Zhaodi's increasingly harsh words and hurriedly stopped her, "Stop whining and go to sleep."
Meanwhile, in the west room, Li Aiguo was hugging his wife and imagining the future. "Finally, we've split up. Wife, this is great. From now on, you don't have to worry about your third sister-in-law criticizing you for using a little vanishing cream. Tomorrow morning, I'll go find my uncle and ask him to draw a house for us. After a while, we'll move out with the kids, parents, and us."
Zhang Huilan interrupted quickly, "Is this okay? Will my sister-in-law and the others object?"
"Why not? We just divided up the family, and everyone has money. Even if she has objections, she won't dare to say anything. Besides, when my parents and I move out, these rooms will be given to them. They'll be more than happy to do so!"
Before Zhang Huilan could say anything, Li Aiguo continued, "Okay, it's settled. Let's go to sleep."
