Chapter 189 The Zhan Family Splits Up

That night, Li Chunhua and Xingxing stayed at Li's house.

The next day, when the sun was climbing up to the treetops, someone came to the Zhan family.

This time, the people who came to the Zhan family were Zhan Zhide and Zhan Zhicheng.

Aunt Wang didn't come, and neither did Zhan Zhixin.

Li's mother's heart skipped a beat, and she thought the plan was going to fail.

However, Zhan Zhide said, "Auntie, we discussed it last night. Zhicheng will come to our house again, and this will not change."

Mother Li's brows lit up with joy and she exchanged glances with Li Chunhua.

Li Chunhua understood what it meant by "Xingxing returns to her true form."

Li Chunhua raised her eyebrows proudly.

Li Donghua did not hide in the inner room this time. She sat on the kang and looked straight at Zhan Zhicheng. Suddenly she asked, "So what happened to your third brother and Aunt Wang's niece?"

Speaking of this, Zhan Zhide couldn't help but sigh, and his face didn't look very good.

Zhan Zhicheng stuttered a little, as if he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he stammered, "...Zhi, Zhi believed him, and he left."

Li Donghua didn't quite understand.

Li's mother and Li Chunhua didn't understand either.

Fortunately, after Zhan Zhide's explanation, the Li family understood.

It turned out that as soon as Zhan Zhide and Zhan Zhicheng returned yesterday, they went to ask Zhan Zhixin about something.

Aunt Wang probably already talked to Zhan Zhixin about it, and Zhan Zhixin tried his best to persuade Zhan Zhicheng not to become a live-in son-in-law, saying that he should stay at home so that his mother would have someone to take care of her.

Zhan Zhide didn't think much about it at the time, and spoke to Zhan Zhixin heart to heart: "From what I heard from Aunt Wang, is she worried that after your second brother goes to the Li family, Xia Guihua will be left alone to take care of things? ... Don't worry, your second brother and I took care of Mom in the past. When Xia Guihua marries in, she won't have to worry about Mom's affairs. She will just take good care of you."

As a result, Zhan Zhixin's eyes flickered and seemed a little hesitant. Zhan Zhide felt that something was wrong, so he grabbed Zhan Zhixin and asked him what he was thinking.

After this interrogation, Zhan Zhide realized that Xia Guihua and Zhan Zhixin had secretly agreed that after they got married, Zhan Zhixin would split the family property!

The two of them ignored the Zhan family's mess and split up the business to live a carefree life!

If Zhan Zhicheng became a son-in-law, the only ones left in the Zhan family would be the eldest son Zhan Zhide and the third son Zhan Zhixin.

Then Zhan Zhixin probably won't be able to share the money, and will have to be tied to Zhan Zhide, the old bachelor whose wife ran away.

After Xia Guihua got married, didn't she have to serve Zhan Zhide and his mother who was lying on the kang?

Zhan Zhide was immediately stunned by the ruthless plan of his third brother and Xia Guihua.

Zhan Zhicheng also didn't expect that after the three brothers had supported each other all the way to the present, the third brother actually thought like this?

He regards this family and their mother as a burden?

Zhan Zhixin dodged his gaze: "...Brother, second brother, I really don't want to live a hard life anymore. Guihua said that she only likes me as a person and would rather not marry me without a betrothal gift, but I can understand that she doesn't want to help me take care of my mother..."

Zhan Zhide immediately yelled: "You understand, you understand shit!"

Zhan Zhide made a decision immediately.

The next day, he asked Li Zheng from the village to be a witness and directly divided the family.

Not to mention the third brother Zhan Zhixin, even the second brother Zhan Zhicheng was stunned.

Zhan Zhide directly separated the third brother, Zhan Zhixin, from the family.

The Zhan family was very poor and had no property. They had only a few shabby houses, two acres of thin land, some sparse furniture, and an old mother lying on a kang.

Zhan Zhide said that Zhan Zhixin didn't need to support his mother, so he only allocated a room and half an acre of land for his food.

Zhan Zhixin had mixed feelings, but he didn't object much.

As for Zhan Zhicheng, Zhan Zhide was even more determined to let him go.

Zhan Zhide felt that since he had no children and his wife had run away, it would be just right for him to take care of his mother.

Zhan Zhicheng was about to say something, but Zhan Zhide spoke from the bottom of his heart, "... Second brother, you can marry into the Li family. The Li family is a kind family. If there is any problem in our Zhan family, we are relatives, and the Li family will definitely lend a hand. If you go and give a bribe, it will be like giving our Zhan family an extra guarantee."

"As for mom... I can take care of her myself. After you go to the Li family, if mom gets sick and needs money for medical treatment, we can still borrow money from the Li family."

"Also, after the third son left, the family still had an acre and a half of land, which was more than enough to support me and my mother. And if there was another famine, you being in the Li family would give us an extra way out, don't you think?"

Zhan Zhicheng was finally convinced by Zhan Zhide.

The two brothers came to Li's house together.

Mother Li was also shocked.

She couldn't help but look at Zhan Zhide a few more times.

Zhan Zhide, as the eldest brother, is really a man of courage.

My third brother, without the burden of my mother, married a girl who didn't ask for a dowry and lived with her.

My second younger brother became a son-in-law.

But the responsibility of taking care of their mother fell on his shoulders alone.

Mother Li was in a complicated mood.

The Zhan family has such an elder brother, which means they are a very reliable relative.

After all, the unreliable third brother had been directly split out by Zhan Zhide.

"Is your mother... willing?" Li's mother finally asked.

Zhan Zhide smiled bitterly: "...Mother is thinking about the three of us, so of course she is willing."

Mother Li stopped asking and looked at her daughter Li Donghua.

Li Donghua obviously didn't expect that the matter could be solved so neatly and efficiently. She was in a very good mood, with the corners of her lips raised the whole time.

She lowered her head, played with her fingers, and felt a little shy.

Mother Li was also relieved. She smiled and said, "In that case, I will invite the matchmaker back and we can discuss it according to the normal process?"

Zhan Zhide coughed twice and said cheerfully, "Okay, it's settled."

Both Zhan Zhicheng and Li Donghua, the younger children, felt a little embarrassed.

However, when Zhan Zhide and Zhan Zhicheng were leaving, they both arrived at the Li family's wooden gate. Zhan Zhicheng suddenly said, "Brother, wait a moment. I want to talk to Aunt Li for a few more words."

Mother Li was a little surprised.

Zhan Zhicheng whispered something to Li's mother. Li's mother was a little surprised at first, but still nodded.

Only then did Zhan Zhicheng leave with his elder brother Zhan Zhide.

Li Donghua couldn't hold back any longer. As soon as the Zhan brothers disappeared from her sight, she rushed to Li's mother and asked, "What did Zhan Zhicheng tell you?"

"Look how anxious you are." Li's mother was obviously in a good mood, and she even joked with her daughter.

Li Donghua disagreed and asked Li's mother eagerly.

Mother Li then smiled and said, "...The second son of the Zhan family is really a good kid. He told me that his eldest brother said that our Li family is a kind family, and if anything happens to the Zhan family, we will definitely not ignore it. But he still feels uneasy after thinking about it, and wants to confirm with me again."

"I almost laughed. How can it be said that once a son-in-law lives with his wife, he is directly separated from his family? It's the same as a daughter who is married off. Does it mean that a daughter will never return to her parents' home and will not care about her parents' home anymore?"

Mother Li finally sighed: "...This child is much better than the third child in their family!"

She changed the subject and said with a smile: "In my opinion, this is such a loss for the good fortune of our Xing Xing!"
