Yao Qingqing wanted to pounce on Yun Ningyan, but Huo Changlan held her hand tightly from below, preventing her from moving.
Huo Changlan felt heartbroken watching her daughter being beaten one after another, but she couldn't afford to fall out with Yun Ningyan right now.
They cannot leave the Huo family yet.
Yao Qingqing's eyes turned red with hatred.
She didn't finish that bowl of rice. Her eyes were terribly red, and she sat on the stool, sobbing uncontrollably as tears streamed down her face.
Huo Changgen took a deep breath and finally spoke his mind: "Third brother's wife, Qingqing is wrong. She shouldn't have cursed people, but you shouldn't have hit her either. She's a guest, Huo family's niece, and you're her sister-in-law. You should have given in to her."
Huo Junshan's voice was icy cold, and his eyes were devoid of warmth as he looked at Huo Changgen: "Father, do you think what she said is something a little girl should say? What were you doing when she was scolding Ningning? Ningning only hit her twice, and you came out to defend her?"
Huo Changgen was speechless. He glared at Huo Junshan and said, "Qingqing is still young. You can talk to her properly and ask her why she hit someone."
"Then why did she swear? She swore so horribly, didn't you hear it? I think you're just pretending to be deaf and dumb."
Li Xiangyun couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to defend Yun Ningyan.
When Huo Changgen saw that even his wife was joining the others in criticizing him, he angrily pointed at Li Xiangyun and said, "Old woman, our sons are ignorant, but are you ignorant too?"
Li Xiangyun spat at him: "Pah! Let's split up the family. The married sons will each live their own lives, and I'll live with the fourth and fifth sons. You can have the work points you earned, and you can cook with your sister and niece. Is that okay? I'm not willing to serve you anymore anyway! Let's split up! Let's split up now!"
Huo Changgen!
The anger in his heart vanished completely in an instant!
That old woman!
Yun Ningyan's lips curled up, and she spoke first: "Mother, we support you. Those people don't know who they live off, and they cause trouble every day. Why don't we separate the family?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying.
Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying knew what she meant and immediately said, "We agree too!"
At this point, everyone would want to get rid of the huge burden of Huo Changlan and her daughter.
They weren't stupid. Even if they didn't get along with Yun Ningyan, they would still take advantage of any opportunity to drive away Huo Changlan and her daughter.
Although Wang Cuihong wanted to see Yun Ningyan and Huo Changlan's mother fight, she also wanted to get rid of this burden. Of course, she would take advantage of any opportunity to kick her while she was down.
Huo Changgen's hands began to tremble; this old woman was getting bolder and bolder!
They actually dared to talk about dividing the family property like that, and even separated him out on his own!
He pointed at Li Xiangyun, then at Yun Ningyan, but remembering his mistake last time, he skipped Yun Ningyan and pointed directly at Huo Junshan.
"Third brother, was this your idea?"
Huo Junshan was so angry he laughed.
He said nonchalantly, "I do think the same way as Mother, but separating the family is a good thing. I support Mother's decision."
Huo Jianshe chimed in, "I wholeheartedly support my mother's suggestion to separate the family!"
Huo Jianjun looked at his parents and said, "I agree too!"
Huo Jianguo, Huo Jiandang: "We agree too!"
Huo Changgen's hands trembled even more violently. He slammed his fist on the table a few times in anger, causing the chopsticks on the table to fall to the ground, but no one paid any attention to them.
The food in the bowl spilled out and onto the table, but no one paid any attention to it.
Huo Changgen pointed at his sons and Li Xiangyun, his voice trembling slightly: "You, you're trying to drive me to my death!"
Seeing that things were getting more and more outrageous, and they were even going to split up the family, Huo Changlan could no longer pretend to be a pushover.
She patted Huo Changgen on the back and scolded him, "You unfilial sons, are you trying to anger your father to death? If you anger your father to the point of illness, let's see how you handle the consequences."
She only said that the children were angry with Huo Changgen, but didn't mention why they were angry.
In her opinion, as long as she could still eat and drink for free at the Huo family, she would stick to Huo Changgen.
This is what Huo Changgen owes her!
She calmed Huo Changgen down and made him sit down, then looked at Yun Ningyan: "Ningning, look, if it weren't for you, how could the house be in this state? As your aunt, I won't blame you, and you didn't do it on purpose."
Yun Ningyan sneered. Was she complaining that she had made a mess of things?
Who was the cause? Huo Changlan had completely forgotten.
Huo Changlan, oh Huo Changlan.
Pretty capable.
However, she also hit Yao Qingqing, so she didn't lose out.
Yao Qingqing looked at Yun Ningyan triumphantly: See! In the end, you, Yun Ningyan, still have to take the blame.
Yun Ningyan felt angry when she saw her smug face.
She also knew that Huo Changlan and her daughter couldn't be driven away at this time. The brigade had already accepted their household registration and grain rations, and they were now members of the brigade.
Even if you don't live at their house, they still have to provide the food.
If Huo Changlan and her daughter were driven away, Huo Changgen would probably be furious, and she was unwilling to be the good guy.
Besides, they live in the back and only come to the front occasionally, so it doesn't bother her at all.
Yun Ningyan smiled: "Auntie, you're right, it's because of me..."
Huo Changlan's face lit up with joy; she had Yun Ningyan firmly under her control.
But Yun Ningyan changed the subject.
"I do have my reasons, but if my cousin Qingqing didn't have such a foul mouth, I wouldn't have hit her. Aunt, tell me, who taught my cousin Qingqing to be so vicious? Or is it that you don't like me and deliberately had your cousin teach me a lesson?"
Clouds and mist!
