"Dad, what are you saying? Why are you talking about dividing the family property? My second son and I have been separated for over a decade or two. How can we divide it again now? Even if I were willing to listen to you, my second son wouldn't." Yun Youtian looked at Yun Dazheng with a helpless expression.
In the end, Wang Shufen still called Yun Youtian back.
"Who said you and the second brother? I'm the one who wants to separate the family. It's me and you," Yun Dazheng said irritably.
"Dad, what are you saying?" Yun Youtian looked at Yun Dazheng with a puzzled expression and said, "No... have you been so angry with the second son that you've lost your mind? You and Mom are both so old, it's long past the time for us to enjoy our retirement, and... how do you still want to divide the family property? The heavy work in the fields, let alone you, even Shufen and I are almost too old to do it. If we divide the family property, who will do the work for you?"
Yun Dazheng sneered and said, "What? Now that you've separated the family, you don't care about the lives of us two old folks anymore?"
"Of course not." Yun Youtian quickly shook his head and said seriously, "I said back then that no matter what the second brother does, you and Mom raised me, so I should take care of you in your old age. It's only right and proper. How can I not take care of you?"
“Alright, let’s split up.” Yun Dazheng said firmly.
“Your mother and I will take Yunduo and live separately. As for you, I don’t need much from you. Just give your mother and me 100 catties of grain for retirement each year, including both coarse and fine grains. Even if my wife and I eat bran and wild vegetables every day, we won’t ask you for a single bite, so you won’t feel like you’re being taken advantage of.”
"No, Dad," Yun Youtian said anxiously. "You know, Mom and I are both getting on in years, right? We've lived with us for so many years, there's absolutely no reason for us to go off and live separately. Wouldn't that make the whole village gossip about us?"
He added, "Even if I'm not afraid of people talking behind my back, I still can't rest easy."
"Tell me, you and Mom are so old, what if you both get sick or have a fever? Who will take care of you?"
Yun Dazheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about that. My wife and I will take care of each other. When the day comes that we are both too old to move, we will lie in bed together and go to see the King of Hell together. If you want to dig a pit to bury us then, just help us dig a pit. If you don't want to..."
Touched by Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi's kindness, Yun Duo truly regarded them as her own family. Upon hearing Yun Dazheng's words, she became anxious and quickly said, "Grandpa, you and Grandma must live to be a hundred years old. Duo'er will take care of you!"
"Okay, okay." Yun Dazheng gently patted Yun Duo's hand and said, "May Grandpa and Grandma live to be a hundred years old."
Yun Youtian spoke gently and kindly to Yun Dazheng, but he was much less patient with Yun Duo. Upon hearing Yun Duo's words, he sternly rebuked her, "Yun Duo! What trouble are you causing here? Anyone can talk nonsense. Do you think that by saying these things, you're really doing it for their own good? I never realized it before, but now I see you as someone with so many hidden agendas."
"For no reason, you called the police to arrest your own parents, and now you're even encouraging your grandparents to take you away and live separately. Do you know how old they are? Do you think they'll be able to live well if they live separately from their parents? Don't you care about your elderly parents?"
