Qian Qing had no doubt that her sister and brother-in-law could live a good life, but it was hard to say if the Huang family was involved. The most taboo thing in doing business is to have a whole family on the same side, especially a whole family with different ideas.

The Huang family was already in a mess before they started making vermicelli. If they continued making vermicelli and the money issue got involved, things would probably get even more chaotic.

Qian Qing hugged her sister with a bit of heartache: "You said I used so much strength to pull it out for you, but you wanted to jump back again."

The reason why she brought her sister to do business was to pull her sister out of the Huang family. It didn't matter what kind of business her sister did, as long as she didn't waste time in the Huang family's mess.

As a result, her sister went out with her and saw the world, but now she wants to go back on her own initiative!

Qian Yu tucked Qian Qing's fallen hair behind her ears. There was tenderness in her voice, but the content was extremely firm.

"I've thought it through. I used to be so arrogant and felt sorry for them because they only cared about the sky. I thought it would be okay for me to give in. Who can really argue with a fool?"

"Now I don't think so anymore. Sometimes foolish people are foolish because they need to be taught a lesson."

"We have to split up the family. It's impossible for me to use the money I earn to support their family."

Qian Qing was completely stunned. She had to admit that her sister's words were really powerful. It reminded Qian Qing of how her sister protected her when she was a child.

"Sister, I support you no matter what you do. But what does my brother-in-law say?"

Qian Yu looked at Huang Sanping, who knew nothing, with a complicated expression: "If your brother-in-law could make up his mind, why would I have to wait until now? Don't worry about him. If he really chooses his mother and that family, the worst that can happen is that we can live separately."

Qian Yu also thought about it for a long time. Her family here, her mother looked after her children, and her sister gave her more than a thousand yuan for almost nothing. Qian Qing even considered that it would be bad for the couple to be separated for a long time, so she wanted to bring Huang Sanping along to do business together.

What about the Huang family? Some time ago, she brought back a pillowcase, which caused a quarrel among the whole family. Later, she gave them three different grades of pencil cases, which caused another quarrel among the whole family.

Although they all live under the same roof, the Qian family helps each other, while the Huang family everyone has their own thoughts.

After these few times, Mrs. Huang also noticed that something was wrong. Yesterday, she even had the nerve to tell her to be careful to count the number of people when she takes things back next time, so as not to miss anyone.

He really treated her like a soft persimmon, and kept pinching her.

She said she got it from her sister, but Mrs. Huang had the audacity to ask her why she didn't take the better ones.

Qian Yu sneered, take the good ones? They will never have this opportunity again in the future!

Qian Qing looked at Ding Jie who was shouting beside her, and an idea came to her mind.

She had always wanted her sister to separate from the family, but if the family was not divided well, the relationship between her sister and brother-in-law would inevitably be affected. Her sister said that at worst they could just separate, but Qian Qing knew that her sister and brother-in-law had a strong relationship, and if they really separated her sister would definitely feel bad.

"Sister, how are you going to divide this family?"

Qian Yu hadn't made up his mind for the moment and looked at Huang Sanping hesitantly.

Old Lady Huang has never separated her family, not necessarily for the good of her children, but just to suppress her daughters-in-law, fearing that she would not be able to be the head of the family after the separation. Just look at the families in the village who have separated their families and you will know that when a family lives together, they are more careful with each other, which will actually make them respect the elderly. Once they are separated, they will not be able to get anything except the annual pension.

In this situation, the four families actually all had some small ideas, but no one dared to jump out, and they all hoped from the bottom of their hearts that others would be the one to step forward.

Qian Yu wanted to make vermicelli, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to be the first person to speak out.

But Qian Qing did not support her sister's actions. Not only would the other families benefit, but her sister and brother-in-law would also have a bad reputation.

"Sister, can you tell me about the current situation of the Huang family?"

Since her sister couldn't come forward, let someone else come forward first. If several people came out and said they wanted to divide the family property, would Old Lady Huang still be able to resist?

Ever since Qian Yu took the things home last time, the disputes among the other families have basically been exposed.

The eldest son of the Huang family has two sons and a daughter, and is the favorite of Old Lady Huang. The eldest son just got married this year, and the daughter-in-law he married is just like her mother-in-law, who is also a picky and strong-willed person. The second son is already of marriageable age and is looking for a partner. This family is used to eating more, taking more, and taking more. The pillowcase that Qian Yu took back last time was finally divided between the two couples in this family by Old Lady Huang.

The second son of the Huang family has a son and a daughter. He is usually smooth-talking. The eldest son has been engaged but has not yet held a wedding. The daughter is still in school. They have quarreled countless times over this family, but the second son's wife insisted that the children of the first wife were all in school, so why should her daughter not go to school? She just resisted. Recently, this family was very angry. The reason was that Qian Yu took back the pencil case. The best one was given to the boy of the fourth wife, the second one was given to the girl of the first wife, and the cheapest one was given to their second wife.

The fourth son of the Huang family now has only one son, who is about the same age as Qianqian. Although old lady Huang loves him, she is still not as good as the eldest son. But compared with Huang Sanping's family, the fourth son of the Huang family still has a son, so his treatment at home on weekdays is neither good nor bad.

In addition to these sons, Old Lady Huang also has a daughter who is now of marriageable age. She is stirring up trouble among the sisters-in-law at home, helping one to speak a few words and adding fuel to the fire for another, simply hoping that the world will not be in chaos.

After hearing Qian Yu's words, Qian Qing knew what was going on.

The eldest wife eats more and takes more, and is probably the one who least wants to split up the family. The second wife is comparing herself with the eldest wife, and her mentality is unbalanced. The fourth wife is comparing herself with Huang Sanping, and she thinks she can bear it. Add to that a sister-in-law who is always trying to make things difficult, and it's no wonder that Old Lady Huang is sitting still.

These families are not on the same page. She coaxes the first wife to suppress the second wife, and then drags the fourth wife. The third wife has no son but only a daughter, and she can still squeeze the third wife to benefit the other wives.

Qian Qing leaned over to her sister and whispered a few words, and Qian Yu's eyes lit up.

"Is this possible?"

Qian Qing nodded. The situation in the Huang family was actually very easy to break. Old Mrs. Huang made the family look stable, suppressing one and beating another. It looked stable, but in fact, as long as one family collapsed, Old Mrs. Huang would not be able to live her life as an old lady.

"You have to act quickly. The longer you delay, the worse it will be. Ding Jie and I will come here often, and we can take care of each other."

Qian Yu glanced at Huang Sanping who knew nothing and nodded heavily to the girl.

*****

That night, in the Huang family yard.

Qian Yu returned home after selling goods in the town. The Huang family had a large family and a large yard. Although it was not a big brick and tile house, but a house made of yellow mud, with seven or eight rooms connected together, it was obvious that this was a prosperous family in the village.

This is what Old Mrs. Huang is most proud of. She has made outstanding achievements in her life. She gave birth to five sons, four of whom survived. Although the husbands died early, there are four male children in the family. Who would not say that she has made a great contribution to the Huang family?

The Huang family ate in the courtyard, with two large tables that could barely accommodate the whole family. Mrs. Huang was happiest at this time of the day, because no matter who cooked, the spoon for serving the rice was in her hand.

Sweet potato porridge, served with mixed noodle steamed buns, some pickled vegetables, some fried cabbage, and some fried tofu on the table.

Since the household contract responsibility system was implemented last year, most families no longer have to go hungry, but only a few can eat meat to their heart's content. The Huang family's food is considered decent in the village.

Old Mrs. Huang used a rice spoon to distribute rice to everyone. When it was Huang Sanping and Qian Yu's turn, they just scooped some rice on the porridge and added a few pieces of sweet potatoes into the bowl that was just like water.

Qian Yu looked at Huang Sanping with a smile on his face. Huang Sanping lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything. He just silently put the sweet potato in his bowl into Qian Yu's bowl.

Qian Yu was not hungry. Qian Qing had instilled in her a different mindset. She had made money, so why bother to save every penny? So she and Qian Qing had secretly gone to the state-owned hotel in town to eat some sugar-coated cakes today. Now she was not hungry at all.

After Mrs. Huang distributed the rice, she poured the rest into her own bowl of thick porridge and added two sweet potatoes symbolically.

“Eat it!”

In an instant, all kinds of chopsticks were reaching for the big bowl of fried tofu on the table.

Cabbage is not rare. The weather is going to get cold soon, and everyone has a pile of cabbage in their cellar. After a while, the cabbage will make people vomit.

Tofu is hard to come by, as it is too troublesome to grind it at home. Sometimes, when I see someone else grinding a mill, I take some beans from them and exchange them for it, or I just run to the town to buy it.

The tofu you bought is usually cooked in a pot, and you can eat it after adding some salt and seasoning. Recently, Mrs. Huang has been giving more gifts from her third wife, so she has been willing to spend some money and fry the tofu.

"Sister-in-law, just eat it and don't turn it over. The tofu will break if you turn it over. The pieces my mother cut are all quite big, and you can't turn over a piece bigger than your face."

The one who said this was the second daughter-in-law, who was now looking at the eldest daughter-in-law who was tossing and turning with a stern look on her face.

"Second Aunt is wrong. My mother is looking for smaller pieces. After all, grandma is old and should eat more. It's okay for us young people to eat less."

The one who came up to help was the eldest son's wife's new daughter-in-law, also the first daughter-in-law of the Huang family's grandson, named Jiang Mei.

The second son's wife came up and asked a younger person to shut her up, not to mention how unhappy she was in her heart.

"Do you have the right to speak? Who do you think you are? You stick your chopsticks out more frequently than anyone else, and you still pretend to be so high and mighty."

The fourth son's wife looked down and asked, "Who is this?" She also reached for her chopsticks quite a lot at the table, but most of them were thinking about grabbing a few bites for her son.

The sister-in-law Huang Pingping was holding the bowl, eating while watching the show, and said: "It's just a little tofu. If the sisters-in-law want to eat it, can't we grind the mill ourselves tomorrow?"

These words were the fuse, and the fourth son's wife looked extremely unhappy.

"Grinding the mill, that has to be done by the fourth child. Wasn't it she who hid at home last time and took the soybeans to her mother's house?"

The fourth son's wife had sent gifts to her parents' home more than once or twice, and had been scolded by Old Lady Huang.

At this moment, the fourth son's wife could not stay out of it either, so she simply joined the battle with all her might.

"That's not as good as you, eldest sister-in-law. How many times have you carried food to your mother's house? And second sister-in-law, you have also asked for a lot of small things in the third brother's house recently, right?"

Qian Yu held his rice bowl and ate his meal while watching a farce.

It was almost inevitable that she would be dragged into the water by the fourth son's wife. The fourth son's wife was like this every time, as if she couldn't bear to see her in peace and had to involve her. In the end, no matter whether she said anything to Huang Sanping, when Mrs. Huang was beaten with 20 sticks each, she would always take them along.

Qian Yu finished the rice in the bowl and put the bowl on the table.

"Everyone is here today, and I have something to say."

"My sister is too busy right now, and it's hard for Sanping and I to take care of her alone. I thought anyone in my family who is free could come and help my sister. I'll give her 20 yuan a month."

That’s right, now Qian Yu still tells the Huang family that she is working for Qian Qing and is paid every month.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table changed immediately.

The eldest brother's wife stopped pretending to be dumb at this time: "Third brother's wife, are you serious? Is it really twenty yuan a month?"

The second son's wife refused to give in: "I'll go! Third brother's wife, you know me. I'm usually the most skillful one."

The fourth daughter-in-law also wanted to speak, but was embarrassed. She secretly stumbled on the third child's family more than once or twice, especially when she dragged someone into trouble just now. At this moment, I didn't have the nerve to speak, but I wanted to go, so I had to poke my husband and signal him to talk to Huang Sanping.

Sister-in-law Huang Pingping looked coldly at her sisters-in-law fighting for it. She was not in a hurry at all. If she wanted it, she just had to tell her mother.

Sure enough, Old Mrs. Huang slammed the table with an unhappy look on her face.

The third son's wife is really too powerful. I should have told her about this in private and let her make the arrangements. But she said it at the dinner table. Isn't that a public challenge to me?

Old Mrs. Huang has been feeling more and more that something is not right recently. Ever since the third daughter-in-law left to become a self-employed person, things have become uneasy at home. But the third daughter-in-law often brings back some things, and the group of people at home who are short-sighted fight over these things, clearly showing that they don't take her seriously.

Old Mrs. Huang felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she should not have agreed to let the third son's family go out and start a self-employed business. Once they go out, they are like a hawk that has been released and cannot be called back.

"Let Pingping go."

The third brother’s family can’t be brought back, so let’s make use of the connections of the third brother’s wife’s family and see if we can find a good future for Pingping!

I heard that the third brother's brother-in-law is a worker in an oil field. If Pingping goes to help, maybe she can marry into the oil field. Then she will be a city dweller at least!

Huang Pingping was secretly delighted, she knew her mother had her in her heart, how could she be missed out on such a good thing?

In the city, maybe she will get married in the city and never have to go back to this poor place.

Thinking of this, Huang Pingping rarely gave Qian Yu a good face.

"Sister-in-law, what are you mainly doing when you go to help?"

Qian Yu looked embarrassed: "My sister was talking about carrying bags, mainly because the fabric needs to be carried back and forth, which requires strength."

Huang Pingping disagreed. She was Qian Yu's sister-in-law, so how could he really ask her to carry the bag?

"Sister-in-law, you are really funny."

Even if it means a little bit of fatigue, as long as I can get to the city, it doesn't matter what the hardship is.

Then the next day, Huang Pingping came back crying.

"She asked me to carry the cloth, it was so heavy, I said I couldn't carry it, and she said I couldn't do it, and told me to go back and forth. Wuwuwuwu... Mom, I don't want to go, it's too embarrassing."

Old Mrs. Huang was extremely angry, but she had no place to vent her anger.

This is not something Qian Yu can decide, as Qian Yu is also working for her sister.

Can she still find Qian Qing and scold her?

Old Mrs. Huang rubbed her brows and said, "Okay, Second Son's Wife, go and try it tomorrow."
