Chapter 34 Mu Youcai Wants to Divide the Family Property
Looking at Wang Wencai's desperate eyes, Mu Youcai felt a little flustered.
"Wife, I know I was wrong before. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and our daughters from now on."
"Ha!" Wang Wencai sneered.
"How could you protect us when you didn't even have a voice in that family?"
Look at how spoiled Chengrong has become by your mother.
People often say that spoiling a child is like killing a child. Chengrong is the son your whole family has been hoping for. He is already eight years old. If things continue like this, your son will be completely ruined.
Chengrong is your mother's lifeblood. I never thought of taking him away. I know that even if I risked my life, I couldn't take him with me. I only hope that after I leave, you can teach him more.
We are ordinary farmers; we don't expect him to become a great talent, but at least we want him to know how to be an upright person.
Now Mu Youcai was truly certain that Wang Wencai had made up her mind to break up with him. Mu Youcai looked at Wang Wencai seriously.
"Honey, calm down and listen to me."
We won't divorce; we'll separate the family. I'll go back and talk to Mother about it later. From now on, we'll make our own decisions about the children."
"Divide the family?" Wang Wencai was stunned when he heard Mu Youcai say that he wanted to divide the family.
Yes, besides being divorced or separated, they can also divide their property.
However, in rural areas, there is a long-standing saying that the parents should not separate from the family while they are still alive.
Most families rarely split up unless they are truly struggling to make ends meet or the parents, being reasonable, don't want the whole family to be entangled together.
But her in-laws only have one child, Mu Youcai, and her mother-in-law is used to being the head of the household, so how could she possibly agree to separate the family?
Wang Wencai gazed into the distance and sighed softly.
"Alas! Dividing the family property is not an easy thing."
Although Wang Wencai knew that dividing the family property would be difficult, she still held onto a sliver of hope.
After all, she and Mu Youcai had been together for over a decade and still had feelings for each other. Moreover, it would be very difficult for her, a woman raising three daughters alone, during this famine.
If they can really separate and live separately, it would indeed be a good option.
When Mu Youcai carried Mu Zhaodi and Wang Wencai back to their home to rest, Zhao Juhua had already put Mu Chengrong to sleep.
Mu Dachang, Mu Pandi, and Mu Laidi squatted to one side. When they saw Mu Youcai and Wang Wencai return, they quickly went to greet them.
Upon seeing Mu Zhaodi in Mu Youcai's arms, Mu Dachang quickly asked,
"What happened to Zhao Di? Why was she carried back?"
Mu Youcai gave Mu Dachang a resentful look.
“Father, Zhao Di almost died. When we found her, she was hanging from a tree. If we hadn’t arrived in time, and if Ning Bao hadn’t treated her, you wouldn’t have your eldest granddaughter.”
Upon hearing that Zhao Di had hanged herself, Mu Dachang was stunned for a moment.
"How could that be? She's just a little girl. At most, she might run away in a huff for a while. How could she possibly go so far as to hang herself?"
Mu Youcai carefully placed Mu Zhaodi on the mat his two younger daughters had laid out on the floor, then looked at his father and said earnestly,
“Dad, you saw what happened today. My mother is determined to exchange several children for food. To be honest, although our family is not the richest in Shanglin Village, we are not the poorest either.”
No one in the village trades their children, so why do we have to do it?
"Wealth..."
Mu Dachang was used to being weak, and Zhao Juhua had been the one making the decisions at home all these years. He didn't know what to do about Zhao Di's situation.
Mu Youcai looked at his father with disappointment.
"Father, I'm planning to separate the family property."
"Dividing the family property?" Upon hearing Mu Youcai mention dividing the family property, Zhao Juhua, who had been pretending to be asleep, jumped up.
"Mu Youcai, are you crazy? Your father and I are alive and well, why are you asking for a division of the family property?"
Faced with his mother's questioning, Mu Youcai remained remarkably calm. He glanced indifferently at Zhao Juhua.
“Mother, it is because you and Father are alive and well that your son wants to separate from the family, otherwise there would be no need for this trouble.”
Upon hearing her son's words, Zhao Juhua felt that Mu Youcai was cursing her to die, and she immediately flew into a rage. She angrily pointed at Wang Wencai, who was taking care of Mu Zhaodi.
"It must be you, you wretched woman! You're the one who stirred up trouble for my son to separate from the family..."
