Chapter 18 Finally, the old lady brought up the issue of dividing the family property.



Shen Yunsheng coldly watched her father-in-law, who was putting on a show. It wasn't that she looked down on him, but with his attitude, he would only be bullied.

When Granny Yang saw her eldest son crying so sadly, she went over and took his hand to comfort him.

“My son, don’t be sad. Even if Jingchuan doesn’t wake up, your two nephews will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die.”

"Mother! Chuan'er is my only bloodline, you must save him."

Xiao Wenjing's knees buckled, and he immediately knelt before his mother. He knew that his mother had savings, and as long as she was willing to help, her son could be saved.

"Oh! What can an old woman like me do?"

Granny Yang sighed softly. Although her second grandson was the one who earned the most money in the eldest son's family, he wasn't on her side, so she didn't need to spend money to treat him.

Shen Yunsheng suddenly spoke up: "Grandma, as long as you are willing to sell the house, we can raise a thousand taels."

“Jingchuan’s family, you’ve really gone mad. Who would want a house in the countryside? You’re dreaming.”

The moment Shen Yunsheng mentioned the house, Granny Yang couldn't help but fly into a rage.

If Shen Yunsheng sells the house, she and her second son's family will be forced to sleep on the streets.

Xiao Wenjing looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.

"Mom! I...I agree to sell the house."

“I’ll decide this matter. The most urgent thing is to find a way to raise travel expenses for Wen Kai and Hong Bin. As for Jing Chuan, just leave him to his wife.”

Grandma Yang's voice suddenly became very stern; she had never thought of spending a single penny on her second grandson.

Shen Yunsheng seized the opportunity to mock: "Father! Did you see that? This is your good mother. If it were any other family's grandmother, she would have sold everything she owned to buy ginseng for my husband."

Worried that her eldest son was biased towards Shen Yunsheng, Granny Yang pondered for a moment and then angrily rebuked him: "Jingchuan's family, don't try to sow discord. I made this arrangement for everyone's good."

While Xiao Jingchuan hated Granny Yang, he also hated his own father for being so useless.

Shen Yunsheng had no time for idle chatter. She glanced at Granny Yang and then got straight to the point.

"Madam, please just say what you need to say, don't waste everyone's time."

Granny Yang paused for a moment before softening her tone.

“Jingchuan’s family, both sides are my flesh and blood. I had no choice but to entrust Jingchuan to you.”

Just as Shen Yunsheng was about to speak, Xiao Wenjing interrupted him, crying.

“Mother! Jingchuan’s wife is just a woman. How could she know how to take care of a sick person? I do not agree to you entrusting Chuan’er to her.”

Xiao Wenkai didn't want to be branded as ungrateful, and he also felt that his mother's decision was hasty. Even if they were to divide the family property, he wanted to do so honorably.

Granny Yang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She took a breath before looking directly at her eldest son.

"Wenjing, if you still consider me your mother, then obediently follow the arrangements. As Lord Lin said, whether Jingchuan can wake up or not depends entirely on fate."

Xiao Wenjing's eyes were vacant. At this moment, he seemed to have lost all hope, and even his body was trembling slightly.

“But…” Xiao Wenjing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Granny Yang.

"Alright, it's decided then." Granny Yang glanced at her eldest son and said, "I called you back mainly because I wanted to separate you all while I'm still alive."

"Dividing the family property?!" Xiao Wenjing was stunned. He never expected his mother to propose dividing the family property at this time.

Granny Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "You two brothers are both over forty years old, it's time for you to set up your own households."

Shen Yunsheng was secretly delighted. This old vicious woman had finally made up her mind to separate the family. Judging from her attitude, even if her mama's boy father-in-law disagreed, she would still force the separation!

Xiao Wenjing was so frightened by his mother that he froze on the spot. He had always known that his mother did not love him. Whenever it was related to his second brother, his mother would sacrifice him without hesitation.

Seeing her eldest son's tears, Granny Yang said earnestly, "Wenjing, you have done more than enough for your brother. Now it's time for you to take responsibility for your family."

Xiao Wenjing gritted his teeth and finally made a decision: "Alright, let's split up the family. But Chuan'er's illness..."

"You can take care of Chuan'er. I'll stay with your second brother from now on." Granny Yang interrupted her eldest son impatiently. "From now on, we'll each live our own lives and not interfere with each other."

Looking at her desperate father-in-law, Shen Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

"Dad, don't be too sad. Although the old lady is a bit domineering, she still loves you. She will definitely not let you leave with nothing."

Xiao Wenkai said guiltily, "Brother, I'm sorry. When you needed help the most, I couldn't give you a single penny."

"Wen Kai, don't blame yourself. As long as you study hard, you're helping me." Xiao Wenjing patted his younger brother's shoulder. As long as the brothers were of one mind, it wouldn't matter if they separated the family.

Upon hearing this, Granny Yang's expression finally softened.

"Since you all agree to divide the family property, let's choose an auspicious day to do so." After saying this, Granny Yang turned to Shen Yunsheng, "Jingchuan's family, you have no objections, right?"

"It's all up to you," Shen Yunsheng replied, bowing his head, a smile unconsciously appearing on his lips.

That old vile woman is finally going to separate from the family; she couldn't be happier!

After they separate, she will definitely rely on her own efforts to make their lives better and better.

Granny Yang smiled smugly. She glanced at Shen Yunsheng and said, "Everyone, disperse. Don't disturb Jingchuan and his wife's rest."

The group replied with a "yes" and then turned to leave.

Seeing her father-in-law standing dejectedly by Xiao Jingchuan's bedside, Shen Yunsheng felt bad too. After all, he was Xiao Jingchuan's biological father, and she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

"Father, don't be too sad. It's good to separate the family. We can live our own lives from now on," Shen Yunsheng comforted him softly.
