The old woman was almost completely out of her mind at this moment, glaring hatefully at her son.
That look contained so much; it didn't seem like he was looking at his son at all, but rather like he was looking at an enemy.
"It's over! It's all over when I die! Your whole family will be satisfied when I die, right? I know you've all been hoping for my death. I admit it, who told me to raise such a bunch of unfilial children!"
"Let me tell you, you'll all get your comeuppance sooner or later. Even after I die, I'll become a vengeful ghost, haunting you every day. None of you will have a peaceful life, I said it!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the brigade leader, who had heard the news, arrived in front of the house.
When the people outside saw the captain arrive, they quickly made way for him to go in.
After all, the situation inside didn't sound very optimistic. If something really happened, the onlookers would be affected to some extent.
When the captain passed by Si Tian and Zhu Qinghao, he glanced at them, seemingly wondering why the two of them had come to join in the fun.
Zhu Qinghao received the captain's gaze and smiled at him frankly.
The captain seemed to want to say something to the two of them, but after glancing at the people around them, he gave up, nodded slightly, and walked into the courtyard.
Before he even stepped into the courtyard, he heard the old woman's words, which startled him so much that he quickly pushed the door open and went inside.
"Sister-in-law Zhou! Be careful what you say!"
What on earth is going on here? What are you all doing now?
After the captain finished speaking helplessly, he looked at the Zhou family father and sons, but not at the old woman, because he felt that she was beyond saving.
Old Zhou sighed softly and didn't say anything.
Upon seeing this, Zhou's eldest son spoke up, preparing to offer an explanation.
"Uncle Captain, thank you for making this trip again, but this matter is really beyond our control."
Upon hearing this, the captain frowned.
"Wasn't the division of the family property already settled? Why is it turning into this mess now? What happened this time?"
The eldest son of the Zhou family, with a bitter face, spoke out as if he had given up all hope.
"No, nothing happened, but as soon as you left, my mother started threatening suicide, and no one could stop her. We didn't mean to make such a big deal out of it, but..."
The eldest son of the Zhou family didn't finish speaking, but anyone could hear the helplessness and bitterness in his voice.
Upon hearing this, the captain also sighed.
He then walked over to the old woman, squatted down to look her in the eye, and tried to reason with her.
"Sister-in-law, the children are all grown up now. Give them some space, or they will blame you in the future. What will you do when you get old?"
Everyone in the team envies you. Your three sons are all filial and sensible. Don't let them squander such a good hand.
"While we've divided the family property now, we can still get along peacefully. If anything happens to you or your older brother in the future, the kids can lend a hand. Otherwise, things might be difficult."
Everyone around thought the captain's advice made sense, including Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian. However, the old sour woman disagreed.
She kept brandishing the kitchen knife in her hand towards the captain.
"Get out! Get out! You're in cahoots with them. You can't stand to see me doing well. You all wish me dead. You heartless captain, you'll be punished by heaven!"
