Chapter 209: Threatening words
County town.
West City Road.
Looking at the huge building being built in front of him, Ou Guohua exclaimed: "Oh my God, the first floor is already so big, and they are going to build a third floor?"
Zhang Xiuping explained with a smile: "It's not what you think. You don't need a three-story building to open a restaurant. The first floor we have built is enough. The other two floors are just built by the way, and they will be used for other businesses in the future."
Ou Guohua suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I thought all three floors were used for a restaurant. Then this restaurant is really too big."
Father Ou looked around and said with emotion: "Yuntai, your father has a long-term vision. It only takes one floor to open a restaurant, but your father directly built three floors. I dare not even think about the amount of money required to build such a large building. Your father's courage is really unmatched by ordinary people."
Deng Yuntai's most admired person now is his father. He nodded and agreed, "My father is really courageous. We were all unsure about how to start such a big business all at once, but he always encouraged us to go all out. He really wasn't afraid that his money would go down the drain."
Father Ou admired and said: "Your father has really invested a lot of money to train you!"
The house is still under construction and there is nothing to see. After chatting here for a few minutes, the few of them went to Dongcheng Market to buy vegetables.
This time, Ou's father refused to let Deng Yuntai pay no matter what. It was normal to stay here for ten days or half a month, but he couldn't live in someone else's house and ask them to buy food and cook for them. That would be too bad of a family to be a good person.
In the next few days, while the baby was not yet born, the three members of the Ou family, who had nothing to do, toured the county town.
…
Naye Village.
Deng Changyuan's home.
During dinner, Mrs. Deng thought about how she had given birth at home, while her sister-in-law had to go to the county town to give birth. She had been feeling unhappy for the past few days. After enduring for a few days, she finally couldn't help it and said sourly, "A Yuan, your wife's going to the county town to give birth this time must cost a lot of money, right? Now that our family has just paid off our debts, I think it's better not to spend money that shouldn't be spent."
Deng Changyuan couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He knew that his sister-in-law was a little narrow-minded, and he also guessed that his wife went to the county town to give birth. His sister-in-law might feel a little unbalanced, but he really didn't expect her to say such words to his face.
You know, at least 80% of the family's money is earned by him. Can't he pay for his wife to go to the county town to have a child?
Deng Changyuan couldn't help but look at his eldest brother and found that he was avoiding his gaze.
He looked at his parents again and saw that they didn't say anything. It was obvious that they also opposed his wife going to the county town to give birth.
As for my younger brothers and sisters, they had no say in such matters and were just concentrating on eating.
Deng Changyuan felt a little uncomfortable, and he said lightly: "Sister-in-law, you can say this in front of me, but you'd better not say it in front of my wife. I know you are worried about the money and think it is a complete waste of money for my wife to go to the county town to give birth.
But I want to remind you that this money is earned by myself, not from my parents. "
Mrs. Deng didn't expect her brother-in-law to be so protective of his wife, and couldn't help but say, "A Yuan, you did earn this money yourself, but we haven't split up the family. No matter who earns the money, it belongs to our big family. If everyone spends it however they want like you do, wouldn't it be a mess? Besides, I'm not wrong. Our family has just paid off its debts, and we are still very tight on cash. It's better not to spend unnecessary money."
Deng Changyuan looked at his eldest brother who remained silent and asked, "Brother, is this what you meant?"
Deng Changxing looked evasive and said, "A Yuan, our family's current conditions are not very good, so we should save some money."
The disappointment in Deng Changyuan's eyes flashed away, and then he looked at his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, don't you also think that this money should not be spent?"
Chang Yuan's mother was not satisfied with her second daughter-in-law's "acting first and asking for permission later" behavior, and thought she should be punished so that she would not be confused about the difference between the big and small princes in this family. She did not notice her second son's emotional changes and said, "A Yuan, I know Yuntai's wife went to the county town to give birth, so your wife also wants to go to the county town to give birth, but what are the conditions of Jiugong's family? What are our conditions? If you really want to compare with them, do you have to spend money to invite people from the county theater troupe to perform when your child is born and the month is over?"
Deng Changyuan said in a deep voice: "Mom, first of all, you have to understand that this is not about competing with anyone. It is much safer to give birth in the county than at home. This is not a waste of money, but a very necessary expense."
Mrs. Deng curled her lips and said, "For hundreds of years, the wives in our village have given birth at home, and no one has ever said it's unsafe. Why is it unsafe for your wife to give birth at home?"
Deng Changyuan couldn't help it and said, "Sister-in-law, since you have such a big objection, let's separate the family and live our own lives. Then you can save the money you earn as you like, and I can spend the money I earn as I like. We don't interfere with each other. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Deng Yuncai, who had been silent all this time, could not help but yell, "Nonsense, who agreed with you to propose a division?"

Mrs. Deng was a little panicked when she heard this. She was just a little unbalanced about the special treatment of her sisters-in-law, but she had never thought of dividing the family! Chang Yuan's mother was also a little panicked. She just wanted to use her second son to teach her "ignorant" second daughter-in-law a lesson. She didn't expect her second son to react so strongly and even said something about dividing the family.
Deng Changyuan was not frightened by his father because he could make money. He said, "Anyway, I'll make it clear. I don't want anyone to say half of what I said just now in front of my wife. Otherwise, we will separate and live our own lives."
Deng Yuncai felt that his authority as a father was challenged by his second son, and he could not help but scold him with a stern face: "A Yuan, you are getting more and more excited, right? If I don't agree, none of you can divide the family."
Deng Changyuan said calmly, "Dad, normally, without your consent, we cannot divide the family, but you'd better not challenge my bottom line, otherwise I will ask the old man Jiu Gong to divide the family for me. I want to see if this family can be divided or not."
Deng Yuncai was speechless when he heard this. He was indeed the head of the family and the one who had the final say. But if his second son really asked Uncle Jiu to help divide the family property, then it would not be up to him to decide whether the family property should be divided or not.
Even Deng Yuncai was speechless, let alone the others, who were all stunned by Deng Changyuan's words.
After all, when it comes down to it, Deng Changyuan is the one who makes the most money in this family. As long as they are not stupid, they will never think of splitting up the family.
