Chapter 51 Huo Xiao Advocates for Separation of the Family



Huo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Weiwei's expression was not reluctant. He said, "Last night at dinner, Mother talked about Second Sister-in-law. She heard from people in Sunjia Village that Second Sister-in-law wants to divide the family property, and she won't come back if she doesn't."

The Sun family sent word that they wanted his second brother and mother to apologize to Sun Hongying, otherwise his marriage to Weiwei would not be possible.

However, he didn't think the Sun family had the power to influence his marriage, and an apology was out of the question, so there was no need to say anything that would upset him.

Ye Weiwei was surprised; she hadn't expected Sun Hongying to have such thoughts.

Thinking of the day she came to the Huo family for dinner and Sun Hongying eavesdropped behind the house, Ye Weiwei sneered inwardly. She thought that Sun Hongying was afraid that the Huo family elders would favor Huo Xiao and give all the family's money to Huo Xiao to get married, so she was making a fuss about dividing the family property.

She doesn't even realize that most of the Huo family's money comes from Huo Xiao's salary over the years. What right does she have to covet it?

“My mother told me that if she really dared to cause trouble, she would separate my second brother’s family and make them live separately.”

Ye Weiwei smiled; this was indeed something Liu Guilan would do.

It must be said that her future mother-in-law is a very sensible person.

"I advocate for the division of the family."

Huo Xiao suddenly dropped a bombshell.

Ye Weiwei looked at Huo Xiao in confusion, not expecting him to say that.

"Is it because of me?" Ye Weiwei looked at Huo Xiao with sparkling eyes. "Actually, there's no need to..."

Huo Xiao interrupted Ye Weiwei and hugged his little girl. "As the tree grows, branches will spread. I don't think dividing the family is a shameful thing. Besides, even if my second brother's family were to separate, given my second sister-in-law's character, there would be no peace in the family. Moreover, Mother would not be able to ignore her three children."

Ye Weiwei remained silent.

That Sun Hongying is a troublemaker.

"If we split up the family property, I'd like my parents to live with us. What do you think?"

"Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. If they want to live with us, I welcome them. If they want to live with my older brothers, I will definitely take good care of them and treat them like my own parents."

"Weiwei... why hasn't your uncle's reply arrived yet?"

He planned to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate as soon as he received the letter from Weiwei's uncle. Such a lovely girl, he had to mark her as his as soon as possible.

"That letter probably just arrived now; we'll have to wait a while for a reply!"

This Daqingshan Village is too remote, and with poor transportation, the journey naturally takes longer.

Zhang Changnian, who had been nagged by Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao, was holding a letter when he slammed his hand on the table in anger, startling everyone around him.

"Old Zhang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? You got promoted, why aren't you happy?"

Zhang Changnian snorted coldly, his eyes glaring fiercely at the two words "Huo Xiao" on the letter. It was this brat who had tricked his precious niece away!

Huo Xiao!

Huo Xiao?

etc!

"Old Bai, does the name Huo Xiao ring a bell? It sounds familiar, but I can't quite place where I've heard it before."

Bai Xinzhe laughed and said, "You're so out of touch! You don't even know Huo Xiao? He's the kid who won first place in the competition three times in a row. But I heard he was injured and had to retire from the army while on a mission recently. What a pity for such a promising talent."

"It's him!" Zhang Changnian's anger subsided somewhat, but he still let out a cold snort.

No matter how outstanding this brat is, it's wrong of him to steal his niece away!

Don't you even know how old you are!

Weiwei just turned 18 this year, this is a classic case of an older man dating a younger woman!

No, he has to go and see for himself!

No matter how good other people's opinions are, he still won't trust them!

"Old Bai, I've taken on that mission in North China."

Bai Xinzhe asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you had something to do at home and wanted to take a few days off? That mission is scheduled to depart tomorrow afternoon."

Zhang Changnian: "I'll have someone buy the tickets right away."

How could a vacation compare to the importance of Vivi's life event?

Ye Weiwei was unaware that she was about to receive the warm care of her uncle, and she had been living a very carefree life these past few days.

In the morning, she would go to work cutting pig feed. By hiring "child laborers," she could complete a day's task in less than a morning. In the afternoon, after giving Huo Xiao acupuncture, she had a lot of free time to cultivate. In just a few days, the fruits, grains, and vegetables in her space had filled two large warehouses.

In the past few days, she went to town once and found a bargain at the scrap yard. She became acquainted with the lady at the scrap yard and even asked her to help her find some flower pots and jars, which turned out to be antiques and very well preserved.

The older woman took a liking to her. Seeing how generous she was with money, she let her pick out a few paintings and calligraphy works and some old books from the small storeroom, only charging a slightly higher price than outside. Both of them were very happy.

Ye Weiwei also took the opportunity to visit Luo Rui and his grandmother, and secretly left them some seasonal vegetables and fruits, all of which she had grown using her special abilities in her space, and which were good for their health.

Ever since she found the baggage belonging to the grandmother and grandson, she felt like she had gotten a great deal. In addition, the grandmother and grandson were really pitiful, so she couldn't help but want to take care of them more.

It's not easy to go to town, so naturally I can't forget to check out the state-run restaurant.

It changed its appearance several times and stored a lot of food in its space.

Finally, we went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of things.

She plans to visit her family in the Northwest after her wedding, so there are some things she needs to prepare well in advance.

Although she had no shortage of supplies in her space, she still needed to cover up taking out a large amount of supplies from her space.

After a shopping spree, Ye Weiwei's basket was getting fuller and fuller, while her wallet was getting emptier and emptier.

Although the cost of living was low in those days, it was impossible for her to support her family with the money she had.

Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to touch the gold bars in her storage space.

This is a small place after all. Taking out gold bars once or twice is fine, but taking out more than that in this small place would be too conspicuous.

Even if she knows how to put on makeup and can deceive people, living off her family's wealth goes against ancestral teachings and is not a long-term solution.

Although, she has enough "this mountain" to live on for several lifetimes without ever running out.

Ye Weiwei came to town this time to familiarize herself with the environment, find out where the black market was, and look for ways to make money.

However, to Ye Weiwei's disappointment, the black market in Qingshan Town was too small. It was fine for small-scale operations, but if she wanted to ship large quantities of goods, she would have to go to Qingshan County.

After finding out the route to the county, Ye Weiwei headed back home.

There's only one bus a day from the town to the county, and it departs early in the morning and returns around 5 p.m.

Seeing how dilapidated the car was, Ye Weiwei thought that if she wanted to go to the county, she should disguise herself and drive there herself.

She has an old-fashioned Jeep in her space, which is perfect for this era.

Ye Weiwei returned to the village from the town at dusk, and was stopped by the village chief, Lu Mingfa, who was waiting there as soon as she entered the village.

"Ye Zhiqing, this is great news!"
