He was lucky enough not to starve to death. If he was really suffering from severe malnutrition as the doctor said, and had to eat this and that and spend money on it, then he would be a real burden.

She looked at the two young men in front of her. They would be 19 years old by the Chinese New Year, so it was impossible for them to stay single for the rest of their lives.

How can you marry a daughter-in-law without spending money? After that, how can you still work like a cow or a horse for them? Instead, you ask them to supplement you. This is not acceptable.

She whispered to Old Lady Shen beside her, "Mom, why don't we split up the family? Otherwise, my eldest brother and his friends will kill us. We don't have the money to take care of him. It's good enough for him to have enough food to eat."

I thought I would get the support of Old Lady Shen, but she suddenly turned hostile and said, "Shut up, get out of here, you have nothing to do here."

Ji Daju didn't expect that Old Lady Shen would turn hostile, but she could only suppress her anger, grit her teeth and stop talking.

Old Man Shen slammed the table, looked at the three siblings in front of him, and asked with gritted teeth, "You three, just tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Shen Jiawen signaled his brother and sister to stop talking. He stepped forward and said, "Grandpa and grandma, it's not that I want to do anything. There are only two options now. Either you use the public funds to help my dad recover, or you separate us. From now on, life and death will have nothing to do with you."

Split up the family, split up the family again!

Old Lady Shen didn't know where she got a rope from, and she shouted with a ferocious face, "I tell you, if you want to split up the family, I'll have to die! If you keep talking about splitting up the family, I'll hang myself on this beam right now!"

There was ruthlessness in the voice when he spoke.

The three Shen siblings were all stunned, and so were the others.

Shen Jun and his wife looked at each other, both of them were puzzled. Wasn't it just a division of the family? Was he so angry that he wanted to hang himself?

Besides, the eldest family is about to spend money and has little value left. What's wrong with dividing it up?

If you say that Old Mrs. Shen and Old Man Shen are reluctant to divide the main house, I guess even the two pigs in the yard wouldn't believe it.

But what for?

The night gradually deepened. The moonlight, which was bright at first, gradually disappeared into the clouds. The summer wind blew, bringing humidity with it the sultry heat.

The calls of insects and frogs not far away seemed to converge into a symphony of a summer night under the night sky.

Although the Shen family are all bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong, this old lady Shen is holding a rope tonight and is willing to hang herself if she mentions dividing the family property.

Old man Shen on the side was smoking silently, obviously tacitly agreeing.

So, this negotiation, which was not a negotiation, ended in a bad mood.

Shen Mingxi told Shen Yu what had just happened. Shen Yu sighed and let everyone rest.

But his face was very calm. Shen Mingxi didn't see any emotion like being moved in his face, so she felt relieved. Unfortunately, her mind was still filled with too many questions.

As far as he knew, Mrs. Shen now had several thousand yuan in her hands and a lot of jewelry. Even if they split up, they might be busy for a short time, but they would be able to live on.

But Mrs. Shen's resolute attitude made people suspicious.

Shen Mingxi thought secretly in his heart, maybe Old Lady Shen thought that everything was still the same as before, with the eldest wife working hard and serving them like slaves. If all these changed, maybe she would agree to divide the family.

So, she would let Old Lady Shen know that those days were gone forever! Meanwhile, in Shen Hai's room, Ji Daju was also puzzled, "Boss, you have a job, we have money, we don't have many children, and we have Baozhi, our lucky star. No matter how you look at it, dividing the family is not a bad thing. Why would my mother rather hang herself than agree?"

Shen Hai naturally didn't know either.

"Who knows what our mother is thinking? Well, forget it. Whether the family is divided or not, it won't affect us much. Oh, I forgot to tell our mother that I have promised someone else that I will give me 200 kilograms of wheat as a gift."

"Who are you going to give a gift to?" Ji Daju asked curiously instead of feeling distressed.

"Really? You are so awesome as the head of the family. Is 200 kilograms enough? I will ask our mother to prepare all the wheat for you."

Shen Hai curled his lips and said, "The wheat has been divided. Don't move a single grain. Keep it all for me."

"Don't worry, our mother will definitely keep them all for you." Ji Daju said confidently.

Naturally, no one discussed anymore why Old Mrs. Shen disagreed with the division of the family property.

Wu Zhaodi and Shen Jun were also confused.

Shen Jun didn't want to split up the family, so he strongly supported what Old Man and Old Lady Shen did today.

And Wu Zhaodi had no interest in this either.

She looked towards the west room and lowered her voice, "Shen Jun, do you think the second sister-in-law will get up to cook tomorrow?"

"Who knows? I'm not your second sister-in-law. Okay, stop talking and take a rest."

Shen Jun was a little impatient after a tiring day.

Wu Zhaodi curled her lips and said, "Anyway, I won't be the one cooking tomorrow."

Then he mumbled something and after a while, the main house of the Shen family fell into silence.

The next morning, the sun was hidden in the clouds and the air became even hotter and sultry, as if a storm was really coming.

Shen Yu got up early and stood in front of the door, frowning as he looked at the thatched hut where he, his wife and children had lived for decades.

It seems that if there is another storm, the roof of this thatched house will be blown away.

At the same time, in Shen Hai's room, Ji Daju was also puzzled. "Boss, you have a job, we have money, we don't have many children, and we have Baozhi, our lucky star. No matter how you look at it, dividing the family is not a bad thing. Why would my mother rather hang herself than agree?"

Shen Hai naturally didn't know either.

"Who knows what our mother is thinking? Well, forget it. Whether the family is divided or not, it won't affect us much. Oh, I forgot to tell our mother that I have promised someone else that I will give me 200 kilograms of wheat as a gift."

"Who are you going to give a gift to?" Ji Daju asked curiously instead of feeling distressed.

"Don't worry about it. After this is done, your man will be able to become the deputy director."

"Really? You are so awesome as the head of the family. Is 200 kilograms enough? I will ask our mother to prepare all the wheat for you."

Shen Hai curled his lips and said, "The wheat has been divided. Don't move a single grain. Keep it all for me."

"Don't worry, our mother will definitely keep them all for you." Ji Daju said confidently.

Naturally, no one discussed anymore why Old Mrs. Shen disagreed with the division of the family property.

Wu Zhaodi and Shen Jun were also confused.
