“I don’t say anything about you occasionally giving the family some money or small things, but you actually gave all the money in the house to your mother.”
Su Dalang became angrier and angrier as he spoke.
Xi Bao comforted Huan Bao, who understood that her mother had indeed made a mistake.
“I’ve done my part in your family, even if I don’t claim to have done anything particularly good. I gave birth to two sons for you, and you’re yelling at me over a measly 100-odd coins.”
"More than 100 coins, that's a little bit of silver that you could only earn by working at the dock for three months without eating or drinking."
“You call it a mere 100-odd coins? Have you ever thought about our children? Their parents said they’re going to send them to school soon. Have you ever thought about them, or even given them a little something to write down?”
Li Cui became even angrier when she heard Boss Su mention this.
“My family can already send several kids to school. My family’s kids can’t even afford to eat, let alone go to school. Is it wrong for me to help them out?”
Su Muyao, who was listening from the side, stared wide-eyed. He had always thought that his aunt was a very nice person, but he never expected that she was also a brother-obsessed demon!
"You still don't think you've done anything wrong? In that case, let's get a divorce!"
Upon hearing this, Li Cui screamed, "Ah! You actually want a divorce? How dare you say such a thing?"
If you divorce your spouse, your own family will definitely not want you, or they might even sell you outright.
But then I thought about how old my parents are, and how they still have to take care of such a large family.
“I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have taken it back to my family without consulting you.”
“But I’m really afraid you won’t agree. Our Fu Bao is so good at making money. You don’t know how my niece on my mother’s side is starving and skin and bones. It’s like heaven and earth compared to our Fu Bao.”
Boss Su pushed her away and grabbed his woman. He never expected that these words would come from the mouth of his wife of so many years.
"No matter how much money Fu Bao earns, it's hers. What does it have to do with us? Why should Fu Bao's earnings have to support your family?"
“You’ve never thought about our two sons. When we were poor, you would often take things back to your parents’ home. Didn’t you ever think that the things you saved could be better for your sons to eat?”
Li Cui wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Old Mrs. Su.
“I’m telling you, my dear wife, what you did this time was really unfair.”
"We don't really have to say anything if you bring something home to visit your family."
“But you can’t steal money from your family to support your parents. And no matter how much money Fu Bao earns in the future, it’s hers and has nothing to do with you. Did you earn a whole penny or half a penny?”
Old Su sat to the side smoking his pipe, feeling that with money, the hearts of his family members would gradually drift apart.
It seems it's time to split up the family business.
Old Su tapped the residue out of his pipe. "Alright, stop arguing. If that's the case, let's split up."
The eldest son of the Su family looked at his father in disbelief. "Father, the rule has always been that while our parents are alive, we should not separate the family. How can we separate the family? Besides, even if we do separate the family, you two will still live with your eldest son, me."
Grandma Su was displeased upon hearing this. "I'm willing to divide the family property, but I won't stay with anyone but my precious baby."
Su Muyao also snuggled into her grandmother's arms, saying, "Yes, Grandma, follow my good baby."
Grandma Su carried her precious baby into the room.
"Grandma, is Uncle really going to divorce Aunt?"
"No, your aunt made a mistake. As long as she can recognize her mistake, your uncle will not really divorce her because of our many years of friendship."
"Grandma, will we really separate from the family?"
"A foolish child grows up and branches out, just as a son grows up and leaves home; this is an age-old truth."
Su Muyao nodded to her eldest uncle, eldest aunt, and second uncle. She felt that her second aunt was also a very nice person.
But then my aunt suddenly appeared, and her helping her own family really annoyed me.
If my aunt can earn money herself, then it's understandable that she'd be willing to help; there's nothing wrong with that.
But my uncle doesn't have a job, and his child isn't even in school yet, so I really don't agree with him giving all his money to my wife's family.
Especially this kind of theft.
Soon, seeing that things had calmed down outside, Su Muyao went out to take a look and found that only her uncle was still squatting in the yard, holding his head and looking dejected.
Su Muyao beckoned and called Xibao over.
Where is your aunt?
Xi Bao still had tears in the corners of her eyes, looking like they were about to fall, which made Su Muyao feel extremely sorry for her.
"Mother went back to Grandma's house and took Huanbao with her."
"Xi Bao, be good. Xi Bao is a big man, let's not cry."
Xi Bao looked at the little guy who was up to her knees and was actually comforting her, and suddenly burst into laughter through her tears.
He ruffled Su Muyao's hair. "Little sister, you're so young, yet you can already comfort your brother. You're amazing!"
The Su family all thought that their eldest aunt would stay at her parents' home for a while, but unexpectedly, she returned not long after.
But this time, she wasn't the only one who came back.
"Hey, you damned Su family, you're all bullying my daughter!"
This old woman from the Li family started shouting from the village entrance and kept shouting all the way to Old Su's door.
When they got to the door, they didn't go in; instead, they sat down at the door and wailed and cried.
"Everyone come and listen! This Su family's eldest son beat someone up! I heard that this family made some money selling herbs. My daughter gave me a few coins as a token of filial piety, but unexpectedly, when she came back, Su family's eldest son beat her up and she had to go back to her parents' home."
The old lady of the Li family sat at the front door, wailing and slapping her thigh.
As soon as Old Mrs. Su came out, she pointed at Old Mrs. Li and started cursing, "You old hag who's been plagued by disease! It was clearly your daughter who stole more than 100 coins from my son! Wasn't it you who taught her to do that?"
Seeing her mother-in-law being so disrespectful, Li Cui, who was about to try to persuade her mother, quickly stopped.
Let his mother make a scene, and maybe his eldest son won't dare to divorce him.
The old woman was wailing and pounding the ground, while a young woman stood by, pretending to support her and offering words of comfort.
Behind the woman stood a dark-faced man in his twenties, who was looking around with an unfriendly expression.
This person was none other than Li Cui's younger brother.
At this moment, Su Lao Er and Su Lao San squeezed out from the crowd.
"Mom, what happened?"
The one who spoke was Su Laosan, who didn't understand why his sister-in-law's family had come to his doorstep to make trouble.
"What else could it be? Your sister-in-law stole more than 100 coins from your brother and gave them to his mother."
