There was just a faint, indelible light flashing across a pair of dark eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at Chen Li who was crying silently, stretched out his hands and slowly embraced his wife in his arms.

He didn't say sorry.

Instead, he murmured as if swearing, "Xiao Li, I am sorry for making you and the child suffer in the past. I will definitely let you live the happiest life for the rest of your life. Please believe me!"

Chen Li wiped away her tears and choked up, "Brother Yu, I believe you!"

The moon disappeared into the clouds.

Unknown insects chirped, as if their schedules were reversed from humans'.

Because it is close to the Fengquan River, Kaoshantun is not as hot at night as during the day. In addition, it is already past the beginning of autumn, so such nights are a bit cool.

The cool breeze seems to soothe people's anxious hearts.

So the night in Kaoshantun seems very quiet.

But this is obviously not the case with Shen Mancang's family.

In the west room of the kitchen, people from the second and third branches of the Shen family were sitting on the kang and on the floor.

The children all went back to the house to rest, leaving only six adults.

However, Ji Daju and Wu Zhaodi seemed to have scars on their faces, and they looked at each other with vicious hatred.

It's just that the two of them sat in the corners and didn't talk.

Old man Shen looked at his second and third daughters-in-law with disappointment.

I used to think they were good people, but how come they suddenly became like that stinky mud pond?

For lunch, Chen Li had already cooked the cornmeal porridge, mixed the pickles, and fed the pigs and chickens.

Although he hated her so much in his heart, he had to admit that when Shen Yu took his wife and children away, he cleaned the hut inside and out.

At this moment, Old Man Shen didn't know how to evaluate Shen Yu.

Did he do this because he was honest and filial, or because he was just doing it for others to see?

With his brain capacity, it is impossible to guess now.

Anyway, this is not an honest one.

But at this dinner in the evening, even if they are angry, those who stay behind are the real family and should live in harmony.

But who would have thought that because of cooking, feeding pigs and chickens, and washing clothes, the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law actually fought with each other.

The old lady went forward to pull it, but he pushed her to the ground.

It took Shen Hai and Shen Lao San stepping forward and giving them a big slap each to separate the two men.

But this dinner was so frustrating.

I've been angry all day and I can't eat anything tasty at night.

Because the cooking skills of the two daughters-in-law are so poor, and each of them only has two turns to cook, they can only make something good if it is cooked well.

So Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen hated the eldest brother Shen Yu in their hearts.

Why are you leaving now?

It's really a waste to raise them to this age.

According to Old Mrs. Shen’s idea, they should knock on their door at night and make their family suffer.

But he was stopped by the sensible Bao girl.

Old man Shen regretted it afterwards and was very grateful to Bao Yatou. Because things were no longer the same as before, if he really went to fight with the old lady, he would not get any advantage.

In the past, they were able to bully them, wasn't it because they relied on Shen Yu's obedience? But they couldn't swallow this breath, but there was another most important thing at hand, that is, their daughter Shen Lanhua would also come tomorrow, because the wheat was divided.

The wheat was ground into flour, and then used to make dumplings, roll noodles, and steam buns...

Especially white flour.

It is a rare commodity not only in cities but also in the countryside because wheat production is not high nowadays.

Every year, Shen Lanhua would come and take away a bag of wheat.

But what about this year?

He looked at Shen Hai, "Second brother, tell me, we will divide the wheat tomorrow, how should we divide it?"

Shen Hai smiled coldly, "Hasn't the separation document been agreed upon? Whoever owns it, it belongs to him."

"Have you calculated how much we can get?"

"How would I know? I'm not going to work. You can ask Lao San." Shen Hai kicked the ball to Shen Lao San again in annoyance.

Shen Lao San rolled his eyes at Shen Hai and said, "How should I know? I'm not the one who keeps track of work points."

He cursed secretly in his heart, but in fact, everyone in the room knew what was going on.

It depends on their usual work situation. Even if they are allocated wheat tomorrow, they will definitely have to spend money to buy it.

But he didn't care, he had no money anyway.

Old Lady Shen raised her eyelids and looked at the people in the room. "Shen Hai, don't go to work tomorrow. Stay at home. Your eldest son will come back with his aunt tomorrow. I don't believe that Shen Yu dares to take away all the wheat in front of me."

After hearing what Old Lady Shen said, the others felt relieved.

With Old Lady Shen as his biological mother, I believe Shen Yu will not do anything to leave his mother without food.

But Shen Hai was unhappy. "The eldest son is back, so why did my sister come with him?"

Old Lady Shen took the broom and threw it at Shen Hai, cursing, "Second brother, you are such a heartless person. Your eldest son has been living at your sister's house for half a year. You even won't let him go back to his mother's house. Your father and I are not dead yet, and it's not your turn to have the final say in this family."

Shen Hai stood up suddenly, his face full of anger.

He was not a fool, he had calculated it very clearly. In the past, he had his eldest brother's family to support him. Anyway, they were the ones doing the work in the fields and earning the food, so he didn't care as long as he didn't need a share.

But now it's different.

Now the family is separated.

My eldest brother and his family have all moved away.

Even if we can move all the wheat to their house tomorrow, can we also move the grain after the autumn harvest? How is that possible? Are you kidding me?

Wouldn't that mean that the eldest brother's family would starve to death? He didn't care, but others would scold them to death.

As for the wheat, it’s fine, after all, it will be distributed tomorrow.

And this won't be enough to sustain the diet for long.

It is different from the food after the autumn harvest, which is the food for the coming year.

So he could no longer count on the food.

But he will be of great use to tomorrow's wheat.

He had already promised the director that he would send him 50 kilograms of flour.

If my younger sister comes, she will definitely take away at least 50 kilograms. What will be left then?

Not to mention that when the wheat is distributed tomorrow, it is impossible not to give a single grain of wheat to my eldest brother's family.

So he felt that dividing the family today and asking his eldest brother to move out immediately was a stupid act.

He looked at his father and mother who were sitting on the kang, and said bluntly, "My eldest son lives at my sister's house, but the food and drinks are mine, and my younger sister has spent a lot of my money. Not to mention that this is at my aunt's house, it's more than enough to rent a house.

I didn't take any advantage of her. Anyway, I'm telling you, she won't take a single grain of wheat tomorrow. I'm very useful to her."
