Liu Fulan didn't care at all about her mother-in-law's scolding, as if it went in one ear and out the other.
She simply pretended not to hear and ate her food heartily. She wasn't going out; if she went out, she would eat one less bowl of rice, which would benefit others.
She's not that generous.
Yun Lao Er, Yun Shanlu, also felt helpless when it came to his wife, because no matter what he said, she wouldn't listen. But if he were to physically beat her, he couldn't bring himself to do it, looking at the twins she had given birth to for him.
Therefore, I always feel ashamed towards my parents, always feeling that I am too useless, which is why my wife is so unruly.
Yun Li was at a loss for words when it came to her shameless second daughter-in-law. She felt that she must have committed some terrible sin in her past life to have those two scoundrel daughters-in-law come into her family.
When the matchmaker was arranging the marriages, they all seemed quite well-behaved. How come they turned out like this after they married into my family?
Seeing his wife's angry expression, Yun Deguang realized that separating the family was inevitable in order to have her stay with him for a few more years.
"Old woman, come and eat."
Seeing that her parents-in-law didn't say anything, Liu Fulan was particularly smug, feeling that her parents-in-law couldn't do anything about her, as if she were very powerful.
She quickly scooped the last bit of egg from the dish into her twin sons' bowls, and of course, she didn't leave any for her own as well, as if being slow would mean someone else would benefit.
After finishing his meal, seeing his second and third daughters-in-law about to leave with just a bowl of rice, Yun Deguang took out his pipe and tapped it on the table.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, I have something to tell you. After the autumn harvest, I plan to divide the family property among you. Use this time to find your own houses, whether you rent from someone else or build your own. I hope you get ready quickly, as the family will be divided after the autumn harvest."
When the eldest son heard that his father wanted to divide the family property, he became anxious and hurriedly said, "Father, I am the eldest son, and I have a responsibility to take care of you in your old age. I will not divide the family property. Let the second son and the third son go out."
The eldest brother was an honest rural man, just like millions of other rural men. He didn't have any ulterior motives and only cared about the work in the fields every day.
The second and third sons were quite happy, since they each had a troublesome wife. If they wanted their parents to live a few more years, they had to separate their wives.
"Father, it's my fault for being unfilial and making you angry."
Yun Deguang knew that his three sons were good, but they were all easily swayed by their wives.
However, since he had already said it, he had no intention of taking back the matter of dividing the family property.
"Eldest son, your mother and I are still young. We can live on our own. If you have time, just come and visit us more often. Don't worry, your parents have no problem with you. We know you are filial. We just want to live a good life with your mother and don't want to worry about anything anymore."
The eldest brother initially wondered if he had done something wrong.
That's why when his father divided the family property, he also separated himself as the eldest son. Knowing that it wasn't because his father had a problem with him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, I'll listen to you."
The three daughters-in-law were overjoyed, each feeling that their own little family had been at a disadvantage since the family hadn't divided the property.
After the family splits up, I will definitely make our family life prosperous and the other two branches of the family envious.
Even after they got back, when they were lying in bed sleeping, they were still dreaming about life after they separated from the family, as if they could live a good life on their own.
They didn't pay any attention to the sleeping man next to them, and even if they weren't asleep, they pretended to be asleep and simply ignored them.

Yunxi had no idea that someone was eyeing her compensation money, nor did she know that her interest had been quickly dismissed.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't be afraid, after all, not just anyone has the right to covet what belongs to the Peach Blossom Fairy.
At this moment, taking advantage of the setting sun and the remaining sliver of light, he couldn't wait to draw a lot of water from the well, store it in his spatial dimension, and then go to the backyard to quickly water the wilted vegetables.
After that, I took out some hot water from my space and washed myself thoroughly, and also hung the clothes I had changed out of outside to dry.
After taking out the leftover food from lunch and filling my stomach, I moved the stool to the yard, looked up at the starry sky, and sat quietly for a while to digest my food before returning to the house.
I read the Chinese textbook yesterday, so today I can study math. Math isn't as simple as Chinese; at least you have to calculate all sorts of numbers, unlike Chinese where you just need to memorize them.
Fortunately, as long as one has strong mental strength and a good memory, no matter what the formula is, as long as one has calculated it once, one can firmly remember it.
It took her almost two hours to finally finish the eighth-grade math textbook.
Next semester should be the start of my final year of junior high, and I'll have two more years of high school ahead of me, which means there's a lot to learn.
After finishing the book, Yunxi considered her task for the day complete and lay down on the kang (heated brick bed), thinking about what she needed to do tomorrow.
Tomorrow I need to go to town to buy a lot of salt, all sorts of containers, and even books about medicinal herbs.
Yunxi felt she had a lot to do, so she suggested going to town tomorrow morning.
I'll hand in the pig feed task in the afternoon. Anyway, there's plenty of pig feed in the space, so I don't have to worry about not having enough to hand in the task.
After thinking it through, I closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, Yunxi got up just as dawn was breaking.
First, I washed up and cleaned myself up, then I took out all the mushrooms that needed to be dried and the clothes that I washed last night.
Then, carrying a basket on their backs, they couldn't wait to set off ahead of schedule.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to lock the door. After all, there are always one or two scoundrels among humans, and I can't let them have a chance to take advantage of me.
When Yunxi went out, she would avoid places where there was noise, and if she saw someone appearing in front of her, she would quickly hide.
I just acted on instinct, not wanting anyone to know that I went to town or what I bought.
Although she didn't know why she had this thought, she did it subconsciously.
