When Xiao Yichen returned that evening.
It just so happened that my family was having dinner.
Tonight's dinner was exceptionally lavish.
Same as at noon.
Chicken stew with mushrooms.
Meat buns.
There was also a stir-fried eggplant and a stir-fried green bean dish.
Seeing that it was still chicken stew with mushrooms and meat buns, Xiao Yichen was not surprised.
This is basically how they eat meat here.
Fortunately, the ingredients are good, and the taste is good.
Large portion with plenty of filling.
He didn't mind doing it three times a day.
…
"Third Uncle, after you get married, will you have to give more money to the family?" While eating steamed buns, Zhang Hehua, the eldest sister-in-law, asked.
At noon, she ultimately did not return to her parents' home.
Because her family would never provide her with any food.
“Don’t I give my parents ten yuan every month?” Xiao Yichen was somewhat disgusted by his sister-in-law’s words.
He doesn't eat or drink at home, so this ten yuan is purely for his parents.
Workers in the city only earn twenty, thirty, thirty or forty yuan a month.
That's enough to feed a whole family!
...
"Yes, you paid ten yuan, which is quite a lot. But, isn't this a wedding? From now on, your third sister-in-law will have to eat at home!"
"Shut your mouth! Your father and I aren't dead yet, it's not your place to make decisions!" Aunt Xiao put the bowl on the table.
He was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table.
Seeing his mother like this, Xiao Yichen was no longer angry.
"Big brother, is that what you think too?" He turned to ask his older brother.
The older brother paused in his eating.
Put down your chopsticks and lower your head.
Holding the bowl of chicken soup, he said, "From now on, my third sister-in-law will be eating at home, so I should pay more attention to her meals."
"Third brother, don't listen to your eldest brother. This family isn't their place to be in charge!" Aunt Xiao wanted to strangle these two good-for-nothings.
"Second brother, is that what you think too?" Xiao Yichen asked his second brother again.
"Hey, third brother, don't listen to your eldest brother and the others. For so many years, you haven't been home to eat or wear anything, yet you still pay money every year."
Second Brother knew what was going on.
What wasn't said aloud was...
I'm the one who benefits.
Of course, the one who benefits the most is simply not satisfied.
"Second brother, you can't say that. Isn't the third brother getting married soon?"
"From now on, my third brother's wife and her child will be eating at home, so we'll definitely have to pay more. Besides, the third brother earns more."
The eldest brother got anxious when he heard that the second brother was going against him.
"If you earn more, does that mean you have to raise your children?" the second son bluntly stated.
He had long disliked his older brother.
He takes more than his share and still acts like the eldest son and grandson.
They criticize everyone, finding fault with this and disliking that.
The second child was speechless.
I really wanted to grab his collar and shake him hard.
Wake up!
The Qing Dynasty is long gone!
…
"Second brother, what are you saying? I'm your eldest brother!" The eldest brother couldn't stand people disrespecting him.
He is the eldest child in his family.
With a bang.
Old Master Xiao slammed his hand on the table.
"Alright, the third son will separate the family after he gets married."
"Have a meal!"
The voice was extremely authoritative.
After this sentence.
The dinner table was silent.
…
At night, after coaxing her three grandsons to sleep...
"Old man, are you really separating the family?" Aunt Xiao's voice was a little uneasy.
Gently fan the child with a palm-leaf fan.
The wind wasn't strong; the main problem was swatting mosquitoes.
They live in a northern area, so summers aren't very hot there.
It's close to the mountains, so there are a lot of mosquitoes.
...
"It's good that it was split up, it's clean, the eldest brother is never satisfied."
"For so many years, I've been using the third son's money to cover his debts! And he's still not satisfied."
The old man was furious, but he kept his voice down.
My three grandsons have just fallen asleep.
"He's the only strong laborer, how much can he do? The eldest son's family is always lazy, and the three sons, how much do they have to eat?"
If it weren't for the third son's generosity and his consistent monthly contributions to the family, he could have supported his third son.
"Sigh, let's break up. It'll be a clean break. I've let my third brother down!"
Aunt Xiao quickly chimed in, "What nonsense are you talking about! They're all our children. What's this talk of being sorry or not!"
It's good that they separated. I think the third son's wife is quite capable.
Did you see that chicken today? The third son's wife shot it down with a slingshot.
He's so filial. This must be his first time going into the mountains. He not only left me a chicken, but also left a lot of mushrooms.
It's good that this family split up.
This way, the third son won't have to raise the eldest son's child.
“These three children, I’m afraid they’ll go hungry in their mother’s care!” Aunt Xiao patted Jindan’s head.
"My poor Jindan, he almost starved to death by his own parents back then. I can't bear to leave him to them to raise." Aunt Xiao said with pity in her eyes.
Her poor grandson!
"Then let's keep it in our house and have the eldest son and his wife provide it with food every month. Anyway, we can still work, and the children won't go hungry!" the old man suggested.
"Alright, as long as my grandsons don't go hungry, that's fine. But I wonder if my second son will agree!" Aunt Xiao started worrying about her second son again!
The old man frowned as well: "The second son is good, he will definitely agree, it's his wife."
Aunt Xiao quickly chimed in, "His wife isn't really that bad, she's just bullied by the eldest son's wife. It's the eldest son's fault. What kind of wife did he marry?"
...
What the two were unaware of was...
The three little babies who were sleeping with their backs to them were not asleep at all.
…
Inside the east and west wing rooms.
"Honey, we're really splitting up the family!" Sister-in-law Zhang Hehua exclaimed excitedly.
It's good to separate the family.
After the family separated, no one said anything when she took things from her parents' home.
