Chapter 240 The Taciturn Head of the Doting Wife x The Delicate Little Educated Youth 11

Xu Jianguo and Yu Cuihua looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They didn't believe what Xu Hanping said at all. Even if Xu Hanping didn't care, his wife and father-in-law would definitely have opinions.

"Forget it, let's discuss it first. I'll go call your brother back."

It was almost dark when Xu Hanli returned home. Hearing that Xu Hanping had returned, Xu Hanli excitedly dropped the tools in his hands and ran to the main room. Seeing Xu Hanping, he gave him a big hug.

"Brother, long time no see"

Xu Hanping also patted Xu Hanli on the back and said with a smile, "You have become stronger now, boy."

Ma Yuanfang curled his lips in disdain, but knowing that Xu Hanping came back because of the family division, he didn't say anything unpleasant.

"Mom and Dad, my second brother is back. Should we discuss dividing the family property? I've sent the children back to their rooms."

Yu Cuihua patted the hand of Aunt Qiao who was sitting next to her and said, "Han Ping, your elder brother is in the army and can't come back, so Xiao Qiao will be in charge of their family affairs. Now let's talk about the division of the family."

"If you all agree on this, then it's our land and money, and how do we divide the rest?"

Xu Jianguo felt upset as he listened to this, because Aunt Qiao was pregnant and could only hold a pipe in her mouth to pretend to be together. How could such a good family end up in such a mess that they had to split up?

If Xu Hanli and Ma Yuanfang hadn't quarreled every day, things probably wouldn't have gotten to this point.

Finally, after some discussion, Yu Cuihua had 1,000 yuan in cash, which she divided into four parts: 250 yuan each for each of her three sons and 250 yuan for the old couple.

Whoever wants to cultivate the land at home can do so, but the land must not be left to waste.

The house is still the same as it is now, and the pots, pans, and utensils are shared, but the money earned by the family is kept by themselves, and Yu Cuihua will not spend money on anyone else.

Xu Hanping and Xu Hanli both agreed with Yu Cuihua's decision, but Ma Yuanfang, who was listening at the side, felt more and more upset. Finally, he stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, you are too partial. Why should eldest brother's family get 250 yuan? My eldest brother's salary is not small every month. Even if you don't give them a penny, they will not be short of money."

"My second brother is the same. His family are all workers and they get a lot of salary every month. Only Han Li in our family is a farmer and can't earn any salary. We all rely on those few work points. How can we survive?"

"Snap"

Loud slapping sounds were heard in the main room. It turned out that Xu Hanli, after hearing what Ma Yuanfang said, hit Ma Yuanfang for the first time in history.

"If you look down on me, just divorce me. I am just a farmer who only knows how to farm. I am not as successful as my brothers. You already knew this before you married me."

"It's already good enough that we can share 250 yuan with our family. Have we ever paid a penny to Mom from the beginning to the end?"

"You were the one who clamored for a split, and now the family has been split, what else do you want?"

Ma Yuanfang covered his face. When he heard Xu Hanli's words, his face turned blue and white. He raised his hand and grabbed Xu Hanli's neck.

"Xu Hanli, if you dare to hit me, I will never let you go"

"Stop it now!" Xu Jianguo coughed a few times in anger, pointed at Ma Yuanfang and Xu Hanli and said, "If you keep arguing, you won't get a penny."

Ma Yuanfang was so frightened that he dared not say a word.

Yu Cuihua's eyes were slightly red, which made Qiao Jinjin feel uncomfortable.

"Third sister-in-law, how about this? I'll give you another fifty yuan. Just consider it as a token of your appreciation from your elder brother."

Aunt Qiao just wanted to divide the family up as soon as possible and didn't want the old couple to feel uncomfortable here. After all, the old couple were really good to her.

Ma Yuanfang immediately became excited when he heard this, and he became more and more demanding. "Fifty is not enough, at least one hundred."

Aunt Qiao rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Ma Yuanfang got anxious again when he heard this. "That won't work. You've already said it. Forget it. Fifty is fifty."

The family was finally divided. That night, Xu Hanping left Qiaogou Village overnight. He was very anxious at times, as he thought he would have a fight with Juan'er when he got home.

When Aunt Qiao was about to go to bed, Yu Cuihua came to her room, took out fifty yuan from her pocket, handed it to Aunt Qiao and said, "Mom knows Ma Yuanfang's character, and I also know your intention of giving fifty yuan to Han Lijia, but Mom definitely can't let you pay for that fifty yuan."

"Mom," Aunt Qiao frowned in disapproval, "Mom, I'm not short of money. Have you forgotten? You gave me one thousand yuan on the night Han Zhang and I got married."

"Take this fifty yuan back. If you force it on me at night, I will be very angry."

Yu Cuihua nodded with relief, "Okay, okay, mom won't force you."

Yu Cuihua really liked Aunt Qiao from the bottom of her heart. Nowadays, which daughter-in-law would turn down fifty yuan without batting an eyelid? You have to know that fifty yuan is two months' salary for a worker.

"Mom brought you the malted milk that your eldest brother brought back. You're pregnant, so you can drink some if you have nothing to do. It's nutritious. But don't let Ma Yuanfang see it, or she'll make a scene again."

Aunt Qiao frowned. This Ma Yuanfang was too annoying. "Mom, is it true that my third brother can't control her?"

Yu Cuihua's eyes turned red again when she heard this. "Your third brother is also a jerk, dumb in words, and not very smart."

"It's okay for them to see you eating with your parents in the future. We have already separated, so they can't interfere."

Aunt Qiao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then took out twenty yuan from her wallet and stuffed it into Yu Cuihua's hand. "Mom, if Ma Yuanfang knew that I was eating and drinking for free at your place, she would definitely make a fuss. But if I give her the money, she won't be able to say anything."

Yu Cuihua's eyebrows stood up when she heard this. "What are you doing? Mom didn't let you eat with us for the money."

Aunt Qiao smiled and shook her head, "I know, this is just to shut up my third brother's wife. Okay, Mom, it's decided. I'm sleepy."

Yu Cuihua had complicated feelings. People were so different from each other. If Ma Yuanfang's personality was half as good as Aunt Qiao's, they wouldn't be living like this.

Xu Hanzhang's letter finally reached Jinjin Qiao half a month later.

Even though Xu Hanzhang never said sweet words to her face, this letter made Aunt Qiao blush. It was too corny. Baby, daughter-in-law, dear, and so many nicknames in one letter. I wonder who he learned this from.

Aunt Qiao put away the letter written to her and went to the main room with the letters written to Xu Jianguo and Yu Cuihua.

"Mom and Dad, there's a letter from Han Zhang."

Aunt Qiao smiled slyly and said, "Mom and Dad, Han Zhang said that the report from the army has come down. I can go over as soon as I'm ready. Please write back to tell him what time the train is and he will pick me up then."

When Xu Jianguo and Yu Cuihua heard that they had received a letter from their eldest son, they quickly opened it and started reading. Although Yu Cuihua was an old woman in her fifties, it was unexpected that she could read.
