Only after Li Guifang had sent his daughter away did Li Jianghai dare to approach Li Guifang, rubbing his hands and whispering, "Wife, did you really hear what the eldest and his wife said?"
It's not that he doesn't trust his wife, it's just that this matter is too outrageous - he knew that the boss was a good-for-nothing, but he didn't expect him to be such a good-for-nothing!
Besides, he just counted on his fingers for a long time. On the day his wife mentioned, she was clearly working as a helper in a state-owned restaurant. How could she have gone to the old house? She had never mentioned this before.
"Um...wife..." Li Jianghai scratched his head and asked cautiously, "On the day you mentioned, weren't you helping out in the kitchen at a state-owned restaurant? How come..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Guifang glared at him, picked up the broom on the kang and swung it at him.
"Pa!" A hard slap hit Li Jianghai's arm.
"Ouch! Wife, you..."
"Pa!" The second hit him directly on the back.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"Bang!" The third blow almost hit his forehead.
Li Jianghai ran away with his head in his hands, and even one of his shoes fell off.
This old woman was so cruel! He grimaced, hugged his arms, and fled.
"Wife! Wife!"
After being hit with a broom several times, Li Jianghai finally faced the reality.
It’s all the boss’s fault. His wife is in a bad mood, which drags him down. He gets beaten every time he mentions it. Woohoo, I’ll call the boss back tomorrow and give him a couple of beatings!

Inside the police station family compound
After cleaning up the dishes, Li Mingjuan hesitantly told Liu Wei what happened today.
Liu Wei was drinking water from a large teacup. When he heard this, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the water spilled all over the floor.
"What's your mother up to? Last time I heard you say she kicked my eldest brother out to split the family business, I felt something was wrong.
Your mother usually dotes on the eldest brother, why did she suddenly turn against him? She even stopped you from lending money to your eldest brother. This is totally unreasonable.
In fact, Liu Wei had long felt that if Li Guifang indulged the head of the household, Li Mingyuan, there would definitely be problems, but he did not expect that the old lady would wake up early and act so decisively.
Originally, he hadn't taken the idea of splitting up the family seriously. Today's society is completely different from what it was a few years ago.
When a son gets married and starts a family, he usually has to move out and live on his own.
In particular, many people who have jobs in the city now have been allocated housing and live in the company’s housing, which means they can go back to visit when they are free during holidays.
If it's still the same as before, without dividing the family and handing over all the salary to the family, will we have to starve outside?
"My mother-in-law divided the family property clearly this time." Liu Wei continued to ponder.
Nowadays, when people in the city divide their family property, they always keep enough money for retirement first, and then the rest is divided among the children.
Unlike the countryside where there are still fields and properties, there are only a few old houses in the city. To put it bluntly, the issue of retirement is being clarified through the division of the family property.
But these had little to do with the daughter who was getting married, so Liu Wei didn't pay any more attention to it.
Li Mingjuan swung the rag loudly: "Who knows? Mom even scolded my eldest brother a lot, and she never repeated the words!"
After saying this, she moved closer to Liu Wei mysteriously and lowered her voice: "It belongs to the child's father. When Mom divided the family property this time, she gave me a share as well! Mom said that the girl is also one of our family members, so she should have everything she deserves..."
When this news came out, Liu Wei was shocked again.
"That's even more bizarre!" Liu Wei's eyes widened. "According to the rules of your Li family, a married daughter is like spilled water. How can she return to her parents' home to divide the family property? If you went back to eat an extra bowl of rice before, your mother would be so upset. How could she even give you a share of the family property?"
Li Mingjuan paused. Yeah, why hadn't she thought of this? She was so moved today that she cried, and she hadn't even asked clearly.
Liu Wei leaned closer, looking mysterious. "Tell me, was Mom really mad at you? Or was it just me giving it to you and putting it here for you to keep?"
"Impossible, my mother told me to make the decision myself." Li Mingjuan's heart skipped a beat, but was soon replaced by joy that her mother cared so much about her.
Liu Wei pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I know."
"What?"
"Mom must have realized that the eldest brother is unreliable. Think about it," Liu Wei counted on his fingers.
"First he kicked out the most wicked boss, and now he's telling you not to lend him money out of pity. This boss must have gone too far and made Mom really mad.
Your mother must have told your brothers and sisters to stop interfering. This is the time to rectify the family tradition!
"Then can we borrow this money?"
Li Mingjuan's mind was completely shut down. She could only say that her mother was very capable. She was asked to discuss such an important matter with others. Would she discuss it with anyone else? She would definitely ask her husband.
"No, this money is given to you by your mother. You must not touch it unless it is absolutely necessary. We still have to take care of the elderly and children at home with our savings. Let's go with mom."
"What if big brother comes to ask again?" Li Mingjuan is still very conflicted.
"Then just say you don't have the money and let me take care of it first. We'll go talk to Mom later. You and Big Brother are both Mom's children. You should listen to Mom. It's absolutely right!"
Li Mingjuan has been persuaded, and she has to be good at talking as a government employee.
She suddenly remembered that her mother seemed really different today.
Even when she praised the freshness of the vegetables sent by her in-laws, her expression was different!
Thinking of this, Li Mingjuan felt that her mother was the best person in the world for her, and she was instantly moved to tears.
