"I can't live like this anymore! He's disregarding the lives of his family members for the sake of his youngest son!" Zhao's wife said with a sorrowful expression.
"Shut up, or you'd better go back to your parents' house!" Zhao Zhipeng's mother shouted fiercely.
"Let them leave! Let's see what kind of family behaves like this, they have no regard for others' future!" Zhao's wife said angrily.
After saying that, he ignored Zhao Da's attempts to stop him and headed towards the door.
"Honey, calm down, don't be impulsive," Zhao Da said quickly to his wife, his face still showing a hint of anxiety.
However, Zhao Da's wife was clearly out of her mind at this moment, ignoring Zhao Da's attempts to persuade her to stay and only thinking about rushing out.
However, she didn't forget to take her youngest son with her when she left.
"Don't stop her, let her go, and don't let her come back easily!" Zhao Zhipeng's mother was even angrier at this.
Seeing this, Zhao's second wife, instead of remaining silent as before, also started making a scene.
After all, if she didn't go along, her sister-in-law's resistance might be suppressed, and the whole family would have to go hungry.
"Mother, you can't just think about your brother-in-law; there are so many other people in the family."
"What? You're joining in the commotion too?!"
"If you want to leave, then leave too! Stop babbling nonsense!" Zhao Zhipeng's mother shouted angrily at Zhao's second wife.
"Mother, don't you think about your other two sons? Don't you care about the younger generation in the family? You know your eldest grandson is old enough to be married. If you don't have money by then, will he still be able to get married?!"
Zhao's second wife continued, her face serious.
"We'll talk about that later, let's just let it go for now."
"Mom, this won't do. There are so many people in the family, and we need money for everything. We can't do this."
"Stop talking, Zhao Er, control your wife!" Zhao Zhipeng's mother shouted at Zhao Er, her face showing displeasure.
"Say less," Zhao Er advised his wife.
However, it clearly had no effect, and Zhao's second wife became even angrier.
After all, her son is almost old enough to be born.
"Zhao Er, is this how you treat me?! Don't you know what's going on at home?! If you don't try to persuade us, how are we supposed to live together?!" Zhao Er's wife was furious.
"Shut up! If you want to leave, go back to your parents' home!" Zhao Zhipeng's mother pointed at Zhao's second wife and scolded her angrily.
"Fine, I'll leave then! I don't care!" Zhao's second wife stood up from the stool, looking like she was about to rush out the door.
"Wife, you can't go! Don't go!" Zhao Er quickly stepped forward to stop her.
Zhao Zhipeng's mother was furious to see that her two sons were so useless.
As for Zhao Zhipeng's biological father, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face after seeing the scene before him.
But he couldn't just leave it alone, so he shouted at the crowd.
"Shut up, all of you! Eldest son's wife and second son's wife, come back now."
"Your mother was confused just now."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhipeng felt uneasy, fearing that his biological father would abandon him.
"Father!" he couldn't help but call out.
"Sit down, everyone, and let's discuss this," Zhao Zhipeng's father said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, the eldest and second daughters-in-law stopped arguing about going back to their parents' home and sat down, wanting to hear what their father-in-law planned to do.
After the eldest and second sons' wives calmed down, Zhao Da and Zhao Er seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's the situation now. What do you all think? Tell me," Zhao Zhipeng's father said, tapping his pipe.
"Father, we can't give all the family's money to my brother-in-law to pay off his debts," Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law said first, taking the lead in stating her position.
"Yes, Dad, my sister-in-law and I share the same view. If we pay off all the debts, how will the family survive?"
Although Zhao Da and Zhao Er didn't say anything, their faces showed that they had made the same choice as their wives.
"Dad, you can't just abandon me!" Zhao Zhipeng felt even more uneasy upon hearing this.
"Father, let's separate the family! I can't bear the bitter consequences caused by my brother-in-law." Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law said forcefully, relying on being the eldest daughter-in-law and having given birth to three big, fat sons.
"No! I disagree!" Zhao Zhipeng's mother was furious upon hearing this.
"We're not doing this anymore, let's split up!"
“Father, I know my brother-in-law is having a hard time right now, but he can’t neglect our family,” Zhao’s second wife said, trying to smooth things over.
"Let's split up."
Seeing that the second son's wife was also joining in the commotion, Zhao Zhipeng's mother glared at the eldest son's wife, and then glared fiercely at the second son's wife.
“Father, we can’t separate the family.” Zhao Zhipeng’s mother then said to her husband, her face showing urgency.
However, after seeing the scene before him, Zhao Zhipeng's biological father knew that the family was scattered and could not be reunited even if they separated.
Even after breaking up, how much brotherhood can remain?
“Fine, let’s split up the family!” Zhao Zhipeng’s biological father said with a pained expression.
"Dad, what are you doing? You can't divide it!" Zhao Zhipeng's mother wailed.
"No way! What do you want to do? Do you still want to save your youngest son?" Zhao Zhipeng's biological father turned to his wife and said helplessly.
As for the eldest and second daughters-in-law standing to the side, they showed a hint of joy on their faces.
Even Zhao Da and Zhao Er were somewhat pleased.
Zhao Zhipeng's biological father looked around at everyone, taking in their expressions.
Zhao Zhipeng could not hide his worry and panic.
“We only have three hundred yuan at home, eighty for each family, and sixty for me and your mother.”
"Besides the third son's eighty yuan being used to pay off debts, the other two families will each contribute forty yuan to help pay off debts."
"After that, the third brother gave IOUs to the eldest and second brothers."
"The rest of the money will be borrowed in the third son's name," Zhao Zhipeng's father said, presenting the plan he had been thinking of.
