Chen Feng and Duan Qingqing were watching their men argue with their parents when the thorn suddenly pierced their skin.
How could they sit still like that? They immediately shouted in protest.
You need to know.
They have been married into the family for so many years and have hardly ever had to do any housework. Apart from making breakfast for the first time they married into the family, their mothers-in-law have cooked for them almost all the other time.
As for washing dishes and cleaning, those were naturally done by their mothers-in-law.
But now, Liu Lan tells them that from now on, they will have to take turns cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning.
How could they possibly agree to that?
"Mom, this is absolutely not allowed!"
Chen Feng spoke up again: "Making us pay 3 yuan a month for food is already killing us, and now you're asking us to cook, wash dishes, and clean? Aren't you sending us to our deaths?"
"We definitely can't do it!"
Duan Qingqing had no choice but to align herself with Chen Feng at this point, since it concerned her own interests.
So she quickly chimed in, "Yes, Mom, when you mentioned handing over the food expenses, Tianchong and I will definitely do everything we can to pay it to you. But we really can't do things like cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning!"
Liu Lan said calmly, "You can't do it? Fine, then let's split up the family. That's the best way. Everyone can cook their own food and take care of their own cleaning. Anyway, four houses were already built when the houses were built, one for each person, so there's no need to divide the houses when splitting up the family."
"Besides, now that the family is separated, you don't have to pay any food fees. You can eat however you want!"
Fu Jun nodded and said, "Yes, if you have so many opinions, then let's split up and live our own lives from now on!"
Fu Tianming asked anxiously, "Mom and Dad, what's wrong with you? You weren't this impulsive before, and you kept talking about separating the family."
"What are you doing? Did the third brother say something to you?"
"Don't listen to the third brother's nonsense. He's just an adopted child. We are your biological sons. You'll still have to rely on us to take care of you in your old age."
Fu Tianchong also said, "That's right, Mom and Dad, let's not talk about separating the family or living separately anymore. We are a family, no one separates the family."
"Once the family separates, the family falls apart, and the feelings fade!"
"So, we can't do this carelessly!"
"As for the food expenses you mentioned, we can find a way to hand them over to you. But Mom, please bear with us more when it comes to housework. After all, you've always done it, and you did it just fine, didn't you?"
"Besides, my wife isn't good at cooking these things. Just look at the rice tonight, it's so mushy, you can tell she doesn't know how to cook it!"
Chen Feng and Duan Qingqing gritted their teeth and humbled themselves:
"Mom, you can't just talk about dividing the family property like that. Just like the second son said, once the family is divided, the family will fall apart, and everyone's feelings will fade!"
"That's right, Mom, that..."
Before Duan Qingqing could finish speaking, Liu Lan said coldly, "Don't talk about the third brother here. It's not about what the third brother said, but that we suddenly realized today that I work myself to the bone every day cooking, washing dishes, and taking care of you, without letting you pay any food expenses. It's all paid for by me and the old man, but it's ruined you. Eldest brother, second brother, look at what you've become. Have you ever done any decent work? You're always loafing around. People who don't know you would think you're some street thugs."
"How much money can you make in a month? Do you really think you can rely on the third brother to support you for the rest of your lives?"
"Let me tell you, stop dreaming. The third brother is getting married now, and he'll have his own family in the future. He won't be helping you anymore!"
"It's not that you're disabled or unable to earn money, it's that you're too lazy."
"He can't support you all forever!"
