This time, Old Man Zhou spoke quite firmly, seemingly not intending to consider his wife's opinion at all.
Hearing his affirmative answer once again, all three young couples were overjoyed.
"Father, are you telling the truth?"
After someone asked, the others who hadn't asked also looked at the old man from the Zhou family with expectant faces.
Old Zhou also saw the expressions on their faces, but he didn't feel disappointed at all. Instead, he felt relieved.
Over the years, he had long harbored the idea of separating the family, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity before.
Now it seems that if we don't separate this time, the conflicts will only continue in the future, so we should probably separate.
"Yes, I've thought about it for a long time. Let's break up, today, right now, without delay any longer!"
At this moment, the three daughters-in-law of the Zhou family looked at each other, and they all saw the tears and excitement in the eyes of the other two. The three sons of the Zhou family also had undisguised joy on their faces, full of anticipation for the future.
Grandpa Zhou sat there quietly, lost in thought, while the others exchanged excited glances with their husbands or wives, mentally planning their future lives.
In short, everyone was engrossed in their own world, and no one noticed the sinister look on the old sour woman's face.
While no one was paying attention, the old woman let out a "howl" and pounced on Old Man Zhou. By the time everyone came to their senses, several long, bloody scratches had already appeared on Old Man Zhou's face and neck.
A group of people rushed forward to check the situation, and the quick-witted daughter-in-law had already gone to fetch clean wood ash.
"Father! Are you alright? Mother, what are you doing?"
The old woman only dared to scratch her husband on impulse, and now that she's done it, she's given up on everything.
"You want to split up the family? Then die, all of you die..."
Then she began to attack everyone present indiscriminately, ignoring her grandchildren. Perhaps she picked on the weakest targets first, so her daughters-in-law were the first to be attacked.
The three sons of the Zhou family couldn't care less about their injured father at this moment. They rushed to protect their wives, and since the other party was their mother, they could only use their own bodies to shield her.
The old woman was being beaten by her daughters-in-law, which caused a chaotic scene. In the scuffle, someone tripped her and she hit her head on the edge of the table.
"Mother! Are you alright?"
"mother……"
Everyone panicked and rushed to help her up. They saw that her forehead wasn't even broken, but that didn't stop her from breaking down even more.
"My life is so miserable! Father, Mother, who will stand up for me? My son beat his mother for his wife! This wretched child I raised with such care, why won't anyone come and take him away..."
Before anyone could even catch their breath, her crying and singing made their foreheads throb.
"Mom, we didn't mean it, what are you doing?"
"Yes, Mom, can't you stop making a fuss? Can't we all just have breakfast in peace?"
It would have been better if they hadn't tried to persuade her; the old woman went completely "crazy" and glared fiercely at everyone in the room, screaming hysterically.
"Make trouble! I'm going to make trouble! You want peace and quiet? Don't even think about it! Anyone who disobeys me will not have a good time! At worst, we'll all die together, and even in death, we won't be able to separate!"
Looking at his wife's erratic behavior, Old Master Zhou sighed.
"Old woman, why are you doing this? The children are all grown up, and they have their own children now. Let's just let go."
