Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Dog bites dog

"Are you serious?"

Jiang Qiuyue pretended to be surprised, "I broke off the relationship with Dazhu because he is not my biological son, and we are in the right. If you split up the family, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the villagers?"

Wang Chunhua and his wife were not nice to Lin Zhengrong's family, but they were nice to their three children. Even Qian Li didn't do housework in the early years.

If Lin Erzhu wants to split up the family for the house, no matter whether the villagers like Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui or not, if this matter is spread out, Lin Erzhu and his wife will be cursed to death.

But Lin Erzhu wanted Jiang Qiuyue's house very much. He nodded vigorously and said, "I can split the family as long as you give me the house."

"Well..." Jiang Qiuyue made a thoughtful expression, "I don't care whether the house is demolished or not. I think it would be more refreshing to just demolish it. No one knows whether you are still a close family after the separation."

"Let me think about it. I didn't promise you. But you should pray that Wang Chunhua doesn't mess with me. Otherwise, it will be useless for you to split the family. I'm in a bad mood now!"

Jiang Qiuyue went back and closed the door. Seeing Lin Zhengrong staring at her, she felt a little embarrassed. "He is unkind and I am unjust. He wants my house, so I will make a mess of his house. Don't look at me like that. I am right."

"I didn't say you did anything wrong, I just thought..." Lin Zhengrong leaned against the wall and hooked his nose with his fingers, "I just thought you were quite cute like this." Then he looked at her a few more times.

Jiang Qiuyue was slightly stunned by the sudden compliment. She couldn't help but think of the hug that day.

She went into the kitchen, pretending to be busy, "Lin Erzhu is a very cunning person, wanting everything, how is that possible?"

"If Lin Erzhu really splits up the family business and comes to claim the house, how are you going to deal with it?" Lin Zhengrong asked.

Jiang Qiuyue held the spatula and smiled playfully, "Did I agree to give him the house? What I meant was that I originally wanted to do that, but I didn't agree to it."

"And do you think Lin Erzhu will really split up the family?"

Lin Zhengrong looked at Jiang Qiuyue and thought, "You mean, he will deceive us?"

"Given the personalities of Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui, it is impossible for them to let Lin Erzhu split up the family, so they can only fake a split to steal the house. But as long as Lin Erzhu has this move, I will let Wang Chunhua think that they really want to split up the family, after all, Lin Erzhu still wants to split up the family in his heart. When the time comes, dogs will bite dogs, and after the second sister moves in, the Lin family will not be so united, and she will be better off."

Jiang Qiuyue guessed that Lin Erzhu was now going to discuss the division of the family property with Wang Chunhua and her husband.

In fact, just as Jiang Qiuyue thought, Lin Erzhu proposed a fake separation.

Wang Chunhua got angry on the spot, "A family split is a family split, how can it be true or false? Erzhu, are you thinking of this because you think your father and I are a burden?"

Lin Fugui didn't say anything. He only had one son left and he would not agree to a real division of the family.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Lin Erzhu covered his head and sat a little further away. "I'm talking about a fake separation, not a real separation. As long as we put on a show for Jiang Qiuyue and let her keep the house, we will still be a family after Jiang Qiuyue leaves."

"You are my biological parents, how could I possibly dislike you? I just thought that since Jiang Qiuyue always has the upper hand, I would cheat her once."

"Will this work?" Wang Chunhua hesitated.

Lin Erzhu said that it was definitely possible. "Splitting up the family is not a big deal. We can handle it ourselves. Later you guys..."

Not long after, a quarrel was heard from the Lin family's yard. Wang Chunhua scolded Lin Erzhu for being a bad person and said all kinds of nasty things.

Jiang Qiuyue, who was sitting next door, was delighted to hear this and pulled Lin Zhengrong to sit under the wall to drink tea. "Listen, they are performing for us. What an interesting show."

When there was no more sound from the Lin family and Lin Erzhu and his wife went to work in the fields, Lin Zhengrong went over and knocked on the door.

Seeing that it was Lin Zhengrong who came, Wang Chunhua did not forget to act, "Oh my God, why is my life so miserable? The son I raised doesn't recognize me, and now my biological son wants to separate from me. It's not easy for me. Old man, please bring me a rope and hang me. What's the point of living?"

Wang Chunhua sat on the ground, crying loudly.

Lin Fugui calmed down a bit. He asked Lin Zhengrong what he was doing here. "You have the ability to break off the engagement now. Are you here to see a joke?"

He was very disappointed with his eldest son. He had never had a child of his own. Wang Chunhua had several miscarriages, so he thought of buying a child to raise. In the first two years, he and his wife were also very nice to Lin Zhengrong. Later, when they had their own son, no matter who they were, they would be partial to their biological son. He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

As a result, Lin Zhengrong tried to sever the relationship between Jiang Qiuyue and her two children. It turned out to be useless if the child was not his biological child.

"I don't have the time to watch jokes." Lin Zhengrong said directly, "I'm here to remind you not to be fooled by Lin Erzhu."

"Lie? How could Erzhu lie to us?" Wang Chunhua's eyes widened. "You ungrateful bastard, are you trying to sow discord between us?"

Lin Zhengrong smiled, "I'll say it again, I came here to remind you because you raised me. Lin Erzhu pretended to separate the family for the sake of the house, so you can put on a show for us, right?"

Wang Chunhua was stunned. She turned back to look at Lin Fugui and whispered, "Fugui, how did he know about the fake division of the family?"

"Shut up!" Lin Fugui was about to be killed by Wang Chunhua's stupidity. "Lin Dazhu, I don't understand what you said. You used the house to lure Erzhu to split up the family, how did it become Erzhu deceiving us into a fake split?"

"You know the truth in your heart. I just want to remind you that Lin Erzhu and Qian Li really want to separate the family, but they are just deceiving you first. After you agree, they can get my house and leave you."

Lin Zhengrong followed Jiang Qiuyue's words and told Wang Chunhua and her husband, "Think about it, Lin Sanzhu and Lin Xiao went to labor reform, and Lin Erzhu avoided them as much as he could, and he wanted to draw a clear line between him and you. If you really separate, then there will be no benefits. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Lin Zhengrong left after he finished speaking. Not long after, Lin Fugui went to the field and called Lin Erzhu back.

Jiang Qiuyue couldn't hear the conversation next door because of the wall, but she could guess what was being said.

An hour later, Lin Erzhu came over with a slap mark on his face, "Brother, why did you want to hurt me? I really wanted to split the family property, but you went and told my parents that I wanted to split the family property and cheat them out of the house, and they got even angrier with me."

"I'm here to lend you a helping hand. Otherwise, do you think you can split the family?" Lin Zhengrong looked at Lin Erzhu with a fake smile. "The more disappointed they are with you now, the easier it will be for you to split the family. Anyway, you are thinking about really splitting the family, right?"

Lin Erzhu: "I want to split up, but..."

"Dazhu, forget it." Jiang Qiuyue came out and said, "Let's just smash the house. After all, they are biological father and son. They won't do anything too violent. They may reconcile tomorrow. Let's just smash the house to save ourselves the trouble."

"No, I will split up the family tomorrow!" Lin Erzhu promised solemnly.

He ran back home and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, don't be instigated this time. I am your biological child and I will never betray you. Lin Dazhu can't stand seeing us doing well, so he deliberately made our relationship worse."

Wang Chunhua still believed in her son, after all, he was her biological son. Lin Fugui sighed, "Okay, let's do as you say. Let's divide the family tomorrow. Make some noise so that Jiang Qiuyue can hear it. Don't let your cousin and the captain know, otherwise you won't be able to hold your head up in the village in the future."

Lin Fugui also chose to believe Lin Erzhu's words. After all, Lin Zhengrong could not possibly wish him well.

The next morning, the Lin family started quarreling, so Lin Zhengrong went to invite Lin Jiawang, the captain and others.

"Dad, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you want to drag us down with Sanzhu. I don't want to drag my whole family down with me. Dabao is still young, I can't let him suffer with me. I must separate the family! And I must draw a clear line between us!"

"Let's break up, you heartless ungrateful bastard. I raised you for nothing!" Wang Chunhua's voice was so loud that everyone outside the yard could hear it.

Then Lin Fugui also agreed to split the family, "You are such a good fellow, Lin Erzhu, you think of us as a burden, right? Since you want to split the family, then do it. From now on, I will treat you as my son!"

Jiang Qiuyue shook her head and sighed at the elders of the Lin family, "I really don't understand Erzhu. In fact, Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui are very good to him and his wife. Why do they want to split up the family now?"

The uncles and elders of the Lin family didn't like Wang Chunhua's family in the first place. After hearing Lin Erzhu's rebellious behavior, Lin Jiawang knocked on the door and walked in. "Lin Erzhu, what do you want to do?"

Hu Haizhi also shook his head, "Erzhu, your parents aren't very nice, but they're nice to you, right?"

Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui: ...Why are they failing?

Jiang Qiuyue and Lin Zhengrong were standing at the door. Jiang Qiuyue grabbed a handful of melon seeds. Seeing Aunt Niu hurried over, she also grabbed a handful of melon seeds for her.

"Qiuyue, what are they doing?"

"Lin Erzhu is trying to split up the family, and he thinks it's a burden to leave his family behind." Jiang Qiuyue found a suitable position for herself, where she could see what was happening in the yard. "Auntie, come stand next to me, and we'll watch together."

Auntie Niu sat next to Jiang Qiuyue, eating melon seeds while complaining, "This Lin Erzhu is such a jerk. How can he have the nerve to want to split up the family?"

In the yard, everyone in the Lin family thought the same as Aunt Niu, that Lin Erzhu was a terrible person.

Lin Erzhu was very confused when he saw so many people suddenly coming. They clearly didn't send anyone to invite them. "Uncle, Captain, don't misunderstand me, we..."

"Misunderstanding, I heard it clearly, you want to divide the family!" Lin Jiawang was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead, "Fugui, this unfilial son, just divide it. The child is grown up and you can't keep him, don't really make a fuss like Dazhu and never have any contact with him until you die."

There are also some families in the village who separate after their children get married, but they sit down together to discuss it, and it is not as unpleasant as Lin Erzhu said.

Even if we split up, we are still a family, we just don’t eat or live together.

So splitting up a family is not a rare thing, but few people would make it so ugly.

Lin Erzhu was like a mute eating coptis root, unable to express his pain. He looked at his uncle and his family, then went to see his parents.

At this point, we can't say it's a fake split, otherwise the house will be gone. If it's a real split, Lin Erzhu's reputation will be ruined in the future.

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Fugui also tried to smooth things over, "These were just words spoken in anger, don't take them seriously, Erzhu is still okay."

Wang Chunhua also said, "Yes, Captain, it's just a quarrel. Who doesn't quarrel?"

"You're still speaking for him now?" Lin Jiawang waved his hands. "Okay, okay, I can't interfere in your family affairs. Do whatever you want. Don't call me for anything in the future."

Seeing Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui's attitude, the other members of the Lin family also left one after another.

Hu Haizhi was not originally a member of the Lin family. He came over to prevent any major disturbance. Seeing that Lin Fugui and his wife were still speaking for Lin Erzhu, he knew that the disturbance was not serious, so he also followed them out.

"Uncle, captain?" Lin Erzhu chased out, but those people did not look back and started discussing why Lin Erzhu was such a person.

Hearing the distant discussion, Lin Erzhu felt like his head was about to explode. Should they break up now or not?

Jiang Qiuyue shook her head at Lin Erzhu, "Erzhu, Dazhu said yesterday that you were faking the separation, but I didn't quite believe it. I didn't expect it to be true, otherwise you would have invited the elders to the separation. Do you think I will believe it just because you quarreled with me?"

When Aunt Niu heard about the fake division of the family, she asked what it meant.

Jiang Qiuyue said what she thought, "I told Lin Erzhu that I had thought about giving the house to him before, but Wang Chunhua came to ask for the house, which made me very angry. I don't want to give it to them now. Lin Erzhu took the initiative to say that he was willing to split up and sever ties, as long as I gave him the house. Auntie, you haven't heard that someone actually gave up his parents for a house?"

Jiang Qiuyue took Auntie Niu's arm and went home. "This is the first time I've seen her, so forget it. I'll just destroy this house. I won't let anyone in the Lin family get away with it."

Auntie Niu said it was such a pity and scolded Lin Erzhu, "You and Wang Chunhua had a falling out, I understand that. But Lin Erzhu is such a bad person, whether he really wants to split up the family or it's fake, he is such a bad person."

"Who said it wasn't true?" Jiang Qiuyue shook her head and sighed, "Fortunately, I have severed my relationship with them, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully if I were to be their relatives."

The two separated at the door of Jiang Qiuyue's house. Aunt Niu took the latest news and immediately went to the village entrance to tell others.

Everyone was free and within half a day, everyone in the village knew that Lin Erzhu was going to split up the family property in order to please Jiang Qiuyue.

At the Lin family's house, Lin Erzhu was too afraid to go out. He covered his head and screamed in his room, "How could this happen?"

Qian Li was too embarrassed to go out and see people, "Yeah, how did it become like this?" If today's incident were to spread, everyone would say that they were heartless. After crying for a while, she asked in a low voice, "So should we separate now, or not?"

"What?"

Lin Erzhu looked up at Qian Li and said, "What are you thinking? Of course we can't split up. Otherwise, what will the villagers think of us?"

"What about the house?" Qian Li wanted to divide it. "Now that things have come to this, let's just divide it. Let's show our attitude and beg Jiang Qiuyue. Besides, you originally thought so too. After Jiang Qiuyue leaves, let my parents occupy the house, and we will live there and have our own house. It's no different from dividing the family."

Thinking of her mother-in-law's face, Qian Li was no longer afraid of being criticized.

Qian Li didn't expect that Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui were just at the door. After hearing that the couple really felt that they were a burden and that what Lin Zhengrong said was true, Wang Chunhua rushed in and grabbed Qian Li's hair and beat her.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard. You actually lied to me and your dad!" Wang Chunhua had been holding it in for such a long time, and now she took it all out on Qian Li.

Qian Li was stunned at first, but after she reacted she fought back. The fight became more and more fierce, and Wang Chunhua's face was scratched.

Lin Erzhu tried to stop the fight, but was hit hard by his father and fell to the ground with blood in his mouth.

"Lin Erzhu, I don't have a son like you!" Lin Fugui grabbed the collars of Lin Erzhu and his wife in anger, "When Lin Dazhu came to remind us, your mother and I chose to believe you, but we didn't expect you to really want to split up the family. Well, you want to split up, right? Let's split up now, and I'll pretend that you're not my son in the future!"

"What? What did you say, old man?"

Wang Chunhua, who was fighting with Qian Li, said in the midst of her busy schedule, "No, old man, Sanzhu has gone to labor reform, and we only have our son Erzhu by our side. It's all Qian Li's fault. She must have instigated it. Erzhu is not that kind of person."

Qian Li was scratched and pouted at Wang Chunhua, "I have tolerated you for a long time. What do you mean I instigated you? This was all the idea of ​​Erzhu and his wife. He has had enough of you!"

"Lin Erzhu, stand up and say something. Do you want to divide this family or not? If you don't want to divide the family, I will take Dabao back to my parents' home, and we will not live together anymore. Let Dabao take my surname Qian!"

Lin Erzhu: ...How did things turn out like this?

"Qian Li, you troublemaker, I'm going to beat you to death!" Wang Chunhua grabbed Qian Li's hand and bit it, but she was older after all, so Qian Li pushed her hard to the ground.

Qian Li was determined to go all out today. She had long had enough of her mother-in-law's tyranny. If they didn't divide the family property after such a mess, she would be the one to suffer in the future, so she forced Lin Erzhu to choose between her and her parents-in-law.

Jiang Qiuyue heard the "ping-pong-pong" sounds coming from next door and knew that Lin Erzhu and the others were really quarreling this time. She was happy to crack two more eggs, "They deserved it!"

"Mom, what does dog bite dog mean?" Lin Beibei sat in front of the stove, lighting a fire, and looked at his mother curiously.

"You will understand later." Jiang Qiuyue now discovered that this sentence is really useful for children. She beat the eggs, added a handful of leeks, and prepared to make leek omelette. The home-grown eggs are more delicious when fried.

Lin Zhengrong has already bought the train tickets, and they will leave for the army the day after tomorrow. There are some smoked fish and some miscellaneous rations left at home, and Jiang Qiuyue took them all out, preparing to eat them in the next two days.
