"Father, Mother, let's separate the family." A rough, hoarse voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. If he hadn't spoken, perhaps Xu Er and Yang Shi wouldn't have even noticed his presence.
"Xuexing, what did you say?" Madam Yang asked uncertainly.

Xu Xuexing raised his head, his face filled with sorrow, "Let's split up the family."
He spoke those two simple words as if they were the result of a great deal of effort.
"Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang shouted, her hand, which was about to put the five coins into her bag, froze in shock.
Li Mei, who had been standing silently to the side, came over with her son and daughter and knelt down before Zhao Yongkang and the others with a thud.
"Uncle Zhao, please help us!" Her eyes were bloodshot, and her eyelids were puffy and swollen, indicating that she had been crying a lot.
Looking at the three children beside her, Lai Di was stunned, as if she hadn't yet recovered from being sold off.
Pandi's upturned face was already covered in tears. Although she didn't speak, her eyes were full of pleading.
The youngest of the children, Xu Duojin, didn't quite understand what was happening. He simply knelt down and began to sob softly.
Xu Er walked over with a frown, and roared angrily, "What are you doing? Don't you think the house is chaotic enough? Are you all trying to rebel?"
He had always looked down on the way farmers shouted and yelled, finding it rather unseemly.

But a series of events forced him to shout at the top of his lungs, like a shrew from the countryside.
"Father, let's divide the family property," Xu Xuexing insisted, his throat tightening as he finally spoke.
“I’ve always listened to my parents since I was a child. I accept that you favor my second brother, and I didn’t say anything when all the family’s money was given to him.”
"I'm not very smart, I'm not good with words, and I only have some strength, so I do all the chores around the house."
“I may not be a good person, but I can’t just watch my parents treat my wife and children like this.”
After saying that, he turned his face away, wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, and knelt down with a thud.
"I beg my parents to separate the family!"
Zhao Yongkang and the group of elderly people were stunned. They had come with the intention of persuading Yang to clear her head, but they never expected to encounter this.
"Xuexing, you can't just say things like that," Zhao Yongkang said in a deep voice.
When parents are alive, it's rare for families to separate; they usually live together as a large family.

If the family splits up, the villagers will start gossiping, calling them unfilial sons, and other unpleasant things.
"Was it you!" Madam Yang pointed at her daughter-in-law and cursed, "You little slut, it must have been you who instigated my son to divide the family property, right?"
His son was the most honest of them all; he would never say such a rebellious thing.
“I’ll beat your foul mouth to death. You treacherous slut, you don’t deserve to be my wife. I’ll make Xuexing divorce you right now.”
As Yang shouted, she reached out to grab Li Mei, while raising her other hand high. The large, fan-like palm of hers stung her face.
With a slap, a five-finger mark appeared on Xu Xuexing's face. His face was quite dark, but the handprint was still clearly visible, showing how hard Yang had hit him.
"Husband." Li Mei was prepared to be slapped by her mother-in-law, but unexpectedly, Xu Xuexing took the slap for her at the crucial moment.
Xu Xuexing licked his cheek with the tip of his tongue, his mouth feeling both fishy and painful.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Mother, separating the family is my idea, it has nothing to do with Li Mei. If you want to hit someone, hit me instead."
He straightened up as he spoke, waiting for Yang to strike him.

From childhood to adulthood, Yang had never seen him like this before. She plopped down on the ground, slapping her thigh and shouting, "You unfilial son, you unfilial son!"
Unfortunately, all she did was make a lot of noise and nothing she shed; she wailed loudly but didn't shed a single tear.
Seeing that her own affairs were resolved, Old Mrs. Xu prepared to go home with her family. She didn't want to watch the commotion, lest she get herself into trouble later.
"Oh, don't go!" Yang, who had been crying and wailing, suddenly stopped.
"What, you won't let me leave?" Old Mrs. Xu looked at the crazy woman in front of her with a threatening tone.
“Look.” Madam Yang raised her chin and gestured to Xu Lai Di, who was kneeling on the ground: “Didn’t you pay for it? Take it with you.”
It seems she doesn't want to stay home for even a moment longer. What a mess! One problem after another.
When Xu Laidi's name was mentioned, she finally came to her senses. She trembled and looked helplessly at Old Mrs. Xu.
Is the eldest mistress going to take her away? Should she be glad? The person who bought her is the eldest mistress.
But she longs to be with her parents, younger brother, and younger sister.

"Father, Mother..."
Xu Laidi gripped their sleeves tightly, shaking his head repeatedly: "No, don't sell me."
"Oh, I almost forgot about that if you hadn't mentioned it," Old Mrs. Xu smiled at Mrs. Yang.
For some reason, Yang felt that her smile was strange, and she had a feeling that she had been tricked.
"I'll keep Lai Di's indenture with me for now. I won't take her with me. I'll give you the indenture when you two come to redeem her with five coins."
Grandma Xu walked up to the family and said something that Xu Lai-di could hardly believe his ears.
Xu Pandi, who was standing to the side, had already started kowtowing: "Thank you, Grandma, thank you, Grandma."
If it weren't for the eldest grandmother today, Lai Di would have ended up in someone else's hands.
"Get up, don't hurt your head." Seeing that she had hit her head hard, Old Mrs. Xu couldn't bear it and helped her up.
Li Mei and Xu Xuexing choked up and kowtowed to Grandma Xu, saying, "Thank you, Aunt."

Grandma Xu gave the two of them a deep look, then turned to leave.
Upon hearing this, Yang and Xu Er were stunned. What? They weren't going to take Xu Laidi away?
What's the point of them selling Xu Lai Di then?
Ever since Xu Genshan's family started living a good life, Xu Er and Yang Shi have been very envious.
But they were used to being high and mighty, so naturally they couldn't admit that the dilapidated main house was doing better than them.
The reason why Yang sold Xu Laidi so readily for five coins was that she wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
Firstly, since Xu Lai Ti is no longer at home, the family won't experience bad luck.
Secondly, if this person goes to the eldest son's family, it will definitely bring them immense bad luck, and in the end, the eldest son's family will still be worse off than their own.
Such a result demonstrates Yang's success.
But how could things have turned out this way? Madam Yang cried out anxiously, "No, you must take her away from me."

"I'm not bringing it, what can you do to me?" When it comes to being domineering, Old Mrs. Xu is no less than Mrs. Yang.
Xu Er watched this scene with a dark face. He thought of something and cursed Yang Shi in his heart again. This idiot did something stupid again.
But now we must resolve this matter: "Sister-in-law, since you are unwilling to take Lai Di away, then we will spend money to redeem her."
In this way, Xu Lai Di will be back in his hands. If he can't wait for the chosen master, he will find a faraway place and send Xu Lai Di there.
"Redeem?" Old Mrs. Xu drawled, "Fifty taels to redeem it or not?"
Xu Er almost vomited blood upon hearing this: "Sister-in-law, you just spent five coins to buy it."
It's only been a short time, and the price increase is already outrageous.
"If you don't have it, then stop whining here. I didn't force you to sell for five coins. If you can't give me fifty taels, then there's no point in talking."
Grandma Xu's words were firm and resolute, and her expression didn't seem like she was joking.
Xu Er knew that talking to this sister-in-law wouldn't work, so he looked to Old Lady Xu for help.

The person turned their head away, as if they hadn't seen it.
Old Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, thinking her husband was a sucker.
"Go home." With that command, Old Mrs. Xu led her family outside.
No matter what Yang and Xu said from behind, they couldn't stop this energetic family.
However, a large number of onlookers rushed in as soon as the door opened.
The courtyard was soon filled with people, and the Xu family's affairs once again became the topic of conversation among the villagers after meals.
The Xu family only heard about what happened afterward from others. They didn't need to ask; everyone was talking about it. As long as you gathered among the old women, sisters-in-law, and young wives, you were sure to hear it.
For several days in a row, Fu Man'er would come back from outside and talk about Xu Er and Xu Xuexing's separation of the family.
There are various versions of the story. Some say that Xu Er Yangshi was too biased and looked down on Xu Xuexing's family, so she didn't want to divide the family property among them and left the family with nothing.
Some people say that Xu Xuexing no longer wants to help his family pay off their debts, that he is living a miserable life, that his daughter was sold, and that he was forced to separate from his family this time.

In the end, their family split up. The whole family went to a dilapidated old house, a thatched hut, and were only allocated barren land.
These were all things she had learned from Fu Man'er's chatter, and the Xu family hadn't asked her any further questions.
They are currently busy with something more important.
