Chapter 22 Why don’t you go and rob?
Old Man Xu: "Humph, we'll give you and your daughter another fifty cents, okay?"
Su: "Dad, I..."
Xu Zhiyi interrupted Su and said, "Mom, don't worry about it."
Then he looked at Old Man Xu and said, "Haha! Grandpa, fifty cents? You have the nerve to say that?"
Old Mrs. Xu: "Daya, don't be so greedy! Logically speaking, this money is earned by the first and third wives. We are willing to give out fifty coins, which is also a small gift from your uncle and third uncle! Don't be too greedy."
Xu Zhiyi smiled when she heard this: "Grandma, am I greedy? Although it is true that the money was earned by my uncle and my third uncle, over the years, my mother and I have contributed as much to the Xu family as they have, even though we didn't earn any money."
"But, all the work inside and outside the house was done by my mother and me. As the saying goes, even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. These can be regarded as offsetting the share of uncle and third uncle, right?"
"So, after you've ordered us mother and daughter around, this is all you want to do in return?"
When Li and Song heard that Xu Zhiyi wanted to divide the money of their first and third wives, they couldn't help but want to argue.
Xu Lei: "Don't say anything, our parents know better than us, we don't need to rush to be the bad guy"
Upon hearing this, Li had no choice but to suppress her anger.
When the third roommate heard this, he quickly stopped the words that were about to rise to his throat.
The head of the village said, "Daniu, give me your opinion. Are you going to divide the family? If you do, do it fairly. The little you gave to the second wife was indeed excessive. How come everyone in the village has seen how the Su mother and daughter behaved over the years?"
Hearing this, Old Man Xu gritted his teeth and said, "At most, I will give you another 100 coins in silver and 35 catties of grain. There is no more."
The clan leader and the village head were speechless when they heard this! But if Xu Daniu insisted on dividing it this way, they had no choice but to try their best to persuade him.
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi also gave her answer loudly: "Grandpa, my granddaughter is not asking for much. I only ask for fifty catties of grain and five ounces of silver. If you accept it, you must sign the separation document immediately. If you don't accept it, I'm sorry, but my granddaughter will not divide this family."
When Old Lady Xu heard this, she jumped up in anger: "Bah! Five taels of silver? Why don't you just go and rob it?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Grandma, if I want to rob it, you should at least offer eight taels of silver. What? Do you support me in robbing it?"
Mrs. Xu: "You...don't even think about it"
Song couldn't hold back any more this time! Five taels of silver? That was two and a half taels of silver from her third room! How could she be willing to give so much away?
"Daya, my third wife doesn't agree. Forget about the five taels of silver."
Li: "Yes, my eldest wife also disagrees, so there is no room for discussion"
Hearing this, Su tugged at Xu Zhiyi and said, "Daya, why don't we just ask for four taels of silver? Don't make things too awkward! If anything happens to us mother and daughter in the future, we can still come to you for help!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi secretly rolled her eyes: "Mom, even if you don't want anything now, it would be God's mercy if they don't come to suck our blood in the future! Still want them to help? It might not happen even in dreams, let alone in reality."
When Su heard this, the strange feeling in her heart came up again. This... this is totally unlike her Daya. Daya usually doesn't say much all day.
How come her Daya became a different person since the day she was wrongly accused of stealing silver?
Xu Zhiyi glanced at the people from the first and third rooms and said, "Don't agree? That's fine! I don't want to split up the family anyway, so this is exactly what I want."
Everyone in the Xu family: “………” How come it’s more difficult to deal with than a ghost?
Xu Zhiyi: "Have you thought about it? Are you going to split up or not?"
Then he complained deliberately: "Anyway, I absolutely don't agree with the way grandpa and grandma divide it. Does that look like dividing the family? They want to kick me and mom out, right? It's not like breaking off the relationship. Anyway, even if it's divided, I'm still a member of the Xu family, right?"
"So I must take the share from the second branch of the Xu family. Nothing I say today will be of any use."
When Song heard the news of breaking off the engagement, she was very surprised. Did the breaking off of the engagement mean that the things of their three branches would be divided up?
Thinking of this, she tugged at Xu Le's clothes and said, "Husband, if we divide the family, we have to divide so many things. If we break off the relationship, do we not have to divide the things?"
When Xu Le heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yes! Wife, you are very smart!"
Song was very happy when she heard this: "Why? Will it work?"
Xu Le: "It's possible. I'll discuss it with my eldest brother and father."
After saying this, someone whispered something in Xu Lei's ear, and Xu Lei raised the corner of his mouth in surprise.
Then the two of them came to Old Man Xu and told him the idea they had discussed.
After hearing the brothers' idea, Old Lady Xu on the side quickly objected: "No, if we break off the relationship, then won't we have no reason to order Su and Daya to work for us in the future?"
Xu Le: "Mom, what are you thinking? Now they are both suffering from a disease that is very likely to be contagious. They may not survive for more than a few days! Do you still want them to come back to work in the future?"
Xu Lei: "That's right! Mother, the most important thing now is not to let us lose this money in vain!"
Hearing this, Old Lady Xu snorted coldly: "Bah, then we won't give it to them, what can they do?"
Xu Le: "Mom, what if we push them too far! They both have this contagious disease, and she wants to infect us and kill us all?"
"Even if we can prevent it, what if it's Jinbao? He's so young and doesn't know anything! What if he gets into trouble by accident?"
When Old Mrs. Xu heard about her precious grandson, she became worried and had to shut up!
Old man Xu was also thinking seriously about which way of handling the matter would be most beneficial. After thinking about it, he really felt that what the eldest and third brothers said about breaking off the relationship was feasible.
Anyway, it is estimated that the mother and daughter may not survive! If the money is given according to the division of the family, according to the current situation of the mother and daughter, they will use the money to see a doctor. In the end, the Xu family will have nothing to do and the money will be gone!
Therefore, breaking off the engagement is the most cost-effective. Even if the mother and daughter are lucky enough to survive, you can ask the old woman to come to your house and pretend to cry a few times. Given Su's personality, won't she come back and work like a slave?
Haha! The Xu family has it completely in their hands. No matter what, the Xu family will benefit in the end.
The head of the village looked at the Xu family impatiently, and snorted coldly when he saw that they were still whispering to each other.
"Xu Daniu? Have you discussed it with the first and third wives? What are you doing mumbling to yourself for so long?"
The clan leader: "Daniu, no matter what, people must have a conscience!"
Xu Zhiyi looked at the people from the Xu family who were discussing the matter with a half-smile, knowing that they had all listened to what he had just said to deliberately lure them into the trap.
Split up the family? If she and Su are together! I'm afraid she will come here again and make a fuss about going back to be their maid!
Therefore, her goal has always been to break off the engagement, and she also knew how much silver Old Lady Xu had saved over the years, so she deliberately said five taels of silver, which was only one-fourth!
Old Man Xu looked at the Su mother and daughter, and seemed to have made a great decision. Finally, he closed his eyes and said, "Village Chief, we have discussed it. Please help our Xu family and the Su mother and daughter write a document to sever the relationship."
"What???" the head of the village and the clan leader almost broke their voices in shock.
