Chapter 174



Liu Guifang paced back and forth in the room, muttering, "How could it fall off like this?"

"This is the end!"

"How can I explain this to my husband?"

She had just overheard the diagnosis outside the door and ran back in fright to tell Xu Mingxiao.

Xu Mingxiao was annoyed by her nagging: "Stop wandering around, okay! I told you not to be too partial, but you always side with the third brother. Look, you've poked Laozi this time. Let's see how you explain it to Laozi. I'm in charge now."

"No, head of the family, the third child is also to protect me. Who let Lin Xiaomeng be so inexperienced? I was pregnant with a baby and worked hard until the day I gave birth, and nothing happened. But she is so delicate that she kicked the baby and it fell off. This shows that this child is a living thing."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Huaizhi walked in with a dark face, looking at her as if he wanted to eat her.

"Say it again? Where is Xu Huaiyu? Where is he hiding?" This is his mother, so cold.

"Old man, old man, the third brother went back to the county for something. He did it on purpose to protect me. You should blame Lin Xiaomeng. Who asked her to hit me? This child is gone. You can just have another one later." Liu Guifang said easily.

Xu Huaizhi was completely disappointed with her and didn't even want to talk to her.

And the third child, who ran away as soon as the incident happened, is truly a good son taught by Liu Guifang.

"Dad, let's have a good talk."

Xu Mingxiao knew that he had to face the enemy.

"What do you want to talk about?" That's probably what he was thinking!

"Let's split up! What's the point of a family living together like this, quarreling every day?

If we split up, we can live our own lives, but we should still have some affection for each other.”

Xu Huaizhi is very tired. There has been a lot of chaos at home recently, and today he lost the child he had been waiting for. He now just wants to stay away from his parents and other so-called relatives.

Xu Mingxiao frowned and said nothing.

Liu Guifang punched Xu Huaizhi in the chest: "You have grown up, I worked so hard to raise you, and now you want to throw us old people away.

Is it your wife who is behind this again?

I knew she was a troublemaker. If she had been the one making trouble today and agreed to give the third child a hand, how could she have gotten the property? In the end, she deserved it."

Xu Huaizhi looked at his mother's twisted expression and felt very sad. It was obviously the third child who knew the seriousness of the matter and kicked Xiaomeng, but she even blamed Xiaomeng for this. She was really unreasonable.

No wonder Xiaomeng's temper became more and more strange. Living with such parents-in-law, uncles and aunts for a long time, she was soon driven to mental illness.

"Whatever you say, whether it's filial piety or not, I have decided on this family today. You have been partial to the third child all these years, and I have always turned a blind eye to it. I never thought that I would end up harming my own child.

In short, I don't want to live under the same roof with the third child in this life. He is your son and your responsibility, but he is mine. I raised him for so many years and found him a job, but in the end I raised an ungrateful person!

"Great, great! You agree, okay, then the third child can forget about getting married." It was rare for Xu Huaizhi to be tough in front of his mother.

Lin Xiaomeng heard this at the door and felt better. After all, men are still cowards.

She forced herself to get up, wanting to strike while the iron was hot and get today's matter over with. She had had enough of the mess that would follow.

Liu Guifang resorted to her usual throwing tantrums and sat down on the ground: "Oh my God, what kind of son did I raise? You must divide my family property with me when I am old."

It was not easy for her to become a mother-in-law from a daughter-in-law, and she hasn't even enjoyed the privileges of a mother-in-law for a few years. She will definitely not agree to divide the family property.

Lin Xiaomeng walked in with a pale face: "Where is Xu Huaiyu's murderer? Xu Huaizhi, you are a man, go to the county to report to the police. Your brother caused my miscarriage, I will let him go to jail and serve as a labor reform prisoner.

He still wants to get married, what a joke! I curse him to be a bachelor for the rest of his life and have a good ending." Lin Xiaomeng completely broke off relations with the Xu family.

Liu Guifang couldn't stand it, so she immediately got up and started beating him: "You damned death star, you dare to curse my son? I'll beat you to death."

Xu Huaizhi stood in front of Lin Xiaomeng and let Liu Guifang get closer.

Xiao Cheng bit his grandmother's hand and said, "You dare to bully my mother!"

This child has finally been disciplined and is no longer like the last time. Lin Xiaomeng feels a little comforted.

Liu Guifang was stabbed in the back by her son and grandson, and she was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Xu Huaizhi, why did I give birth to such a henpecked bastard like you? In this family, either she or me, divorce her immediately! Otherwise, I will hit my head against a pillar and die, believe it or not."

Lin Xiaomeng gnashed her teeth and cursed, "You crazy woman, do you really dare to die? Just hit me and try."

It would be better to die!

Xu Mingxiao looked at this sad scene and knew that it was time. If this family continued to be like this, everything would be in chaos.

"That's enough! Stop talking." He knocked on the table with the cigarette bag.

"I agree to divide the family!" God knows how difficult it was for him to make this decision. If the third child had caused trouble today, he would have wanted to divide the family. He was used to being the head of the family.

Judging from the husband's attitude and the tone of his wife, we must give them an explanation today to put this matter to rest.

If they stayed, they would become enemies. He was also afraid that if he was forced to live under the same roof, it would be like this every day, with lips bumping against teeth, and a lot of lawsuits.

If we parted early, there would still be some affection between us.

No matter how Liu Guifang makes a fuss, Xu Mingxiao is the one who makes the decision, and it is set in stone.

There is no need for the third brother to come back to discuss anything. Xu Mingxiao can decide this matter himself.

"My dear wife, I know you have been wronged today. Your mother is old, short-sighted, and confused. Don't bother with her.

The third brother is a scoundrel, but he did it on purpose. I think we should just forget about it! Don't keep talking about calling the police. It's just a family matter, why make such a fuss?" Xu Mingxiao deliberately pointed out Lin Xiaomeng.

The subtext is, I have already agreed to let you split up, so let's forget about the third brother's matter.

In the end, Xu Mingxiao compromised for his old son.

Lin Xiaomeng looked at Xu Mingxiao with poisonous eyes. This old man wanted to use the division of the family to get her to stop making trouble, or did he want to protect Xu Huaiyu, the bad guy?

It doesn't matter, God will punish them, and she will take care of it herself. She had always been worried that disturbing the Xu family's fortune would affect her own family.

Now, after the separation, she can do whatever she wants. She has seen with her own eyes the Xu family members fall into disgrace and have a good end.

So she temporarily suppressed the frustration and anger in her heart.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Huaizhi agreed to Xu Mingxiao's conditions and used the division of the family in exchange for holding Xu Huaiyu accountable.

It was a pity that the baby still forming in her belly became the victim of the family war.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Liu Guifang also became dispirited. She knew that this matter was a problem that she, with her little intelligence, could not solve, so she just listened to Xu Ming.

The family sat down in the main hall and invited a respected elder in the village to be a witness and discuss the division of the property together.

Liu Guifang still gave up and proposed to send the third son away so that they could live with the old man's family. This would be the same as not dividing the family, and she continued to abuse her power.

Xu Huaizhi directly refuted the suggestion, saying that the third brother needed her and should live with him.

Xu Mingxiao also knew that the old family hated the third child because of the child's matter, and they also hated them as accomplices.

Even if they were forcibly separated, they would not have a good life. As the village party secretary, he had seen too many cases where the elderly had a good ending after the family was divided, so he was still relatively fair and wanted to do his best to win back the son's heart.

There was a total of 5,312 yuan in the family. When the money was brought in, the elderly people in the family were stunned. It turned out that the Xu family was so rich.

But I understood it after I thought about it again.

In the past, the second brother sent back his monthly allowance when he was in the army. I heard that there was also a retirement allowance. Could Lin Ling have so much?

The old man also brings in his salary every month to support the family expenses, so the Xu family still lives a pretty good life.

It was just that Liu Guifang was too pretentious. However, with the concerted efforts of her sons, their life was still wonderful.

The whole family is sitting here dividing the money earned by the second son, but no one mentions his hard work. How embarrassing.

Xu Mingxiao planned to divide the money into three parts, one for each of his two sons and one for the old couple, totaling 1,328 yuan per part.

The money in their hands will be left to whoever takes care of them in their old age. This can be considered as leaving a way out for themselves, and in disguise attracting their two sons to take care of them in the future. After all, it is more than one thousand yuan, such a huge sum of money.

Xu Mingxiao, the old fox, is indeed very calculating.

Xu Huaizhi and Lin Xiaomeng had no objection. More than a thousand yuan was not too little. In fact, if they relied on themselves, they must have saved that much money over the years.

Xu Huaizhi knew very well that most of this money came from the second brother's hard work.

But he chose to play dumb. Who would refuse a good thing?

Liu Guifang suddenly jumped in and said, "The third brother hasn't kept any money for his wife yet. He should keep the money he spent on his wife before dividing it up. That would be fair."

Whichever pot is open, pick up that pot.

It was because of his marriage that all this happened.

Xu Huaizhi had enough and stood up to ask his mother: "Is 1,328 yuan enough for the third child to get married? It's enough for two or three marriages.

Has he earned a penny for the family over the years? I am satisfied with giving him so much money.

Logically speaking, most of the money in the family was brought back by the second child, so it should be distributed to the second child, but in the end it was given to the third child. What will it take for you to stop?"

If he wanted to divide the family as soon as possible, he would want to give every penny to the third child. Why? The third child did not contribute anything to the family, but he still got the same amount of money as him.

Xu Mingxiao glared at Liu Guifang. He was good at accomplishing things but not at making mistakes.

"The old man is right. The third child should have gotten a share. Considering that he has not yet married and needs to deal with life matters, this money must be given to him."

Liu Guifang finally shut up.

The money issue is over, and everything is fine.

Then there is the issue of the house.

The Xu family's house is the best house in the village. It has 2 rooms, which are bright and spacious, and completely enough for living.

The main house is where Xu Mingxiao and his wife live now, and it should be divided among them.

As for the two rooms on the east side where Xu Huaizhi currently lives, they will be given to them.

The two rooms on the west side were originally occupied by Xu Huaiyu and Xu Meiling, so they were given to Xu Huaiyu.

It's fair, no one gets any advantage.

Lin Xiaomeng thought to herself that when the time comes, she could open a door from the other side, enclose a yard of her own, build a kitchen and toilet, and completely separate herself from them. Then she wouldn't have to see them every day, which would be great.
