Chapter 616: Split Up
"How can we make do? You haven't seen my parents-in-law. They are so partial to each other. My brother-in-law is in charge of the farmhouse. The farmhouse makes a lot of money. Who knows how much money he has embezzled. Besides, we have two people working in our family. My brother-in-law is the only one working in their family, and my sister-in-law is still working. No matter what, the money earned should not be divided equally."
I don't know what the other party said to persuade her. Meng Xiaoning continued, "Didn't you see the way the whole family looked at me today? It was as if I had done something against the will of heaven. I will have to rely on my son to fight for my family property in the future. They all said nice things to Xiang Xiang now, but can they really give her the family property in the future? By then, won't a daughter who is married off be like water spilled out?"
Li Lei was shocked. He didn't expect that Meng Xiaoning actually thought this way.
It turned out that she didn't have any problem with Xiang Xiang.
But I have opinions about their whole family.
He stood outside, confused for a moment.
When they were poor, it was so nice to have a harmonious family.
At that time, everyone worked together and no one cared about how much they worked.
How come I am rich now? I bought a small villa in the city and drive a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Is the family starting to drift apart?
Start to care about who has more and who has less.
"Now that people have money, they all run away. Who would stay in this small mountain village like our family? We have money, but it is not mine, and I have no say in it. If anyone could make a decision, who would be willing to stay in this shabby place?"
"The children go to school in the county, but how good can the county be? Let's not talk about others. Didn't my eldest sister-in-law go to the city for her three children to go to school? Why didn't they stay in the county? It must be because the teaching quality in the city is better."
"I would like to go, but the city is so far away. If I really move to the city, I can take care of the children, but I can't take care of the greenhouse and the farmhouse. Then, the money I can make will be even worse."
"They just know how to force me. Who knows how hard I feel? Li Lei is just a fool. He always thinks he is a family with them and doesn't need to think too much. That was in the past. Now they are all married. Only his wife, children and he are a family."
"Mom, don't worry. Li Lei is stupid, but I am not. I am keeping an eye on the greenhouse and the farmhouse, so I won't suffer any loss."
Listening to Meng Xiaoning's words one after another, Li Lei couldn't bear it any longer. He pushed the door open and looked straight at Meng Xiaoning: "Stop talking, let's split up the family!"
Meng Xiaoning was startled and the microphone in his hand fell to the ground.
After a moment, she quickly picked up the receiver and hung up the phone.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and said with a guilty conscience, "When did you come back?"
Li Lei pursed his lips and spoke again: "I will talk to my parents now and ask them to divide the family. Once the family is divided, everything will be easy to discuss."
Meng Xiaoning heard this, but lowered his head and said nothing.
Looking at her, Li Lei's heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
"The family can be divided, but tell me, if it is divided, can you treat Xiang Xin better? She is your daughter too, not someone you picked up." Li Lei asked with a frown.
Meng Xiaoning nodded, "I think I'm not bad to Xiang Xiang. She's my flesh and blood, how could I not love her? But if you want me to treat her better, I can do that."
Upon hearing this, Li Lei said, "Then come with me. It's a good opportunity to discuss the division of the family while everyone is here."
Meng Xiaoning noticed that Li Lei's tone was stiff until he spoke angrily again.
But these angry words touched her heart.
She had wanted to separate the family for a long time, but she knew Li Lei's temper. If she suggested separating the family, Li Lei would have a huge quarrel with her.
Now that Li Lei himself proposed to separate the family, she must go along with it.
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it too.
She immediately hugged Li Jie and stood up: "Okay, let's go."
Ji Yuanyuan was playing with her two children at the door. From a distance, she saw her uncle and aunt carrying Li Jie coming over.
My uncle was walking alone in front, and my aunt was following behind with the child in her arms.
My uncle walked quite fast and my aunt seemed unable to keep up.
My uncle is not a male chauvinist. If he wasn't extremely angry, he would definitely not ignore my aunt.
So, these two people had a fight?
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little guilty.
Could it be that the quarrel started because of those two sentences she said?
She felt uneasy, and when Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning arrived, her voice was a little low when she greeted them: "Uncle, aunt."
Li Lei nodded at her, and Meng Xiaoning also reluctantly hummed.
The couple went in straight away without any further delay.
Inside the living room, everyone was still sitting at the table, chatting and laughing, it was quite lively.
When Li Lei and his wife came in, there was a moment of silence in the atmosphere.
Qin Xiaomin then stood up and greeted Meng Xiaoning: "Sister-in-law, I see you didn't eat much just now, can I serve you another bowl of rice?"
Zhang Kun also pulled Li Lei: "Sit down, let's have a drink. We were just talking about the past..."
Li Lei didn't let Zhang Kun finish his words, and looked at Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming, "Dad, Mom, I want to split up the family."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly froze.
"Divide the family? Why divide it for no reason? Brother, are you crazy? You..." After being stunned for a long time, Li Yong was the first to react, and he asked Li Lei a series of questions.
However, before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Qin Xiaomin.
Li Yong has no brains, but she does.
The idea of dividing the family property was most likely not the eldest brother's, but the eldest sister-in-law's.
Li Yong understood what was going on instantly after being pulled by his wife. He quickly shut up and stopped talking.
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming did not expect that their eldest son would suddenly propose to separate the family.
For so many years, they have eaten together, worked together, and put all their energy into the same thing.
The money earned each year is divided equally between the eldest and second sons’ families.
In just a few years, their family went from being the poorest in the village to the richest.
The eldest son bought a bigger house in the city and a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Not only did he renew all the loans for his youngest son's villa, he also bought a bigger house for his mother-in-law's family.
Life seems to be getting better and better, why do you suddenly bring up the idea of dividing the family?
Li Xu frowned, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Ji Yuanyuan stood in the yard, looked at Ji Zixuan with a guilty conscience, and asked, "Brother, did I do something wrong today?"
She just couldn't stand how unfairly her aunt treated Xiangxiang, so she said a few words for him.
How come it has now evolved into such a serious situation of splitting up the family?
Were her words too much?
