FSC [QT] Chapter 191.3

“What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with your sister? That girl just had a bad mouth and wanted to eat fruit, so she fell down from the back hillside. Besides, doctors in the hospital are all scammers. It’s just a little skin breakage, how can it be fatal?”

When Xie Changzheng mentioned the reason for Xie Wu’s fall, Miao Fengmei jumped three feet high and was about to slap Xie Changzheng in the face.

Xie Xiuzhu is the old lady’s lifeblood and the apple of her eye. Her three sons combined may not be as important as this sweet-talking and coaxing daughter. How could she allow Xie Changzheng to ruin her daughter’s reputation in front of so many elders?

“Third Brother, did you hear what Sanya said? I am Sanya’s elder, how could I ask her to pick wild fruits for me? Besides, I don’t lack that little food.”

Xie Xiuzhu spoke softly.

She had a fair and pretty face, and her voice was gentle and quiet, which was not found in other women in the village. Therefore, after she started to defend herself, the elders who had been looking at her with questioning eyes turned their gaze back to Xie Changzheng.

“Yes, most of the food was sent back by me, but in the end, not a single one of it went into my daughter’s mouth.”

Xie Changzheng laughed bitterly, “I am really not a qualified father.”

The gentle smile on Xie Xiuzhu’s face could no longer be maintained.

What did this mean?

Was he saying that the little aunt was greedy and had snatched the snacks that originally belonged to the niece?

Sure enough, no matter what time, this Third Brother was so annoying.

“Zhuzi’s wife, since you don’t like your daughter-in-law and granddaughter so much, why don’t you send your third son’s family away?”

“No way!”

Miao Fengmei immediately rejected the proposal.

“If we really want to separate the family, unless the third son’s salary is still handed over in the future, otherwise, this family will not be divided before the old man and I are 100 years old.”

“That’s right, Third Brother, it’s not easy for our parents to raise you. If you are really ready to leave this family for your wife and daughter, you can’t forget our parents. If you don’t have the basic filial piety, how can you be worthy of this military uniform you’re wearing?”

Zhang Xiaojuan, the wife of Xie Changgeng, the eldest son of the Xie family, chimed in.

In her opinion, it would be best if this disabled brother-in-law was separated from the family, but they should not let him take advantage of their family.

Also, his feet were not 100% disabled. If he could serve in the army in the future, Zhang Xiaojuan hoped that he could send his monthly allowance to her mother-in-law as before.

“Zhuzi, say something. Do you agree with your wife’s words?”

Several elders thought that Miao Fengmei’s proposal was ridiculous.

How could one give all the money earned to parents after dividing the family?

Was he planning to starve his whole family?

Miao Dashan brought the topic to Xie Zhuzi. No matter how cowardly he was, he was still the head of the family. His words still had some weight.

“Separate it, separate it, if you want to separate it, separate it.”

Xie Zhuzi hung his head.

He always insisted on an old saying: if you are not deaf or dumb, you don’t have to be a patriarch. Therefore, even though he knew that his wife was partial, he never intervened in the family affairs.

He was really afraid of Miao Fengmei’s nagging. Even though he knew that the mother and daughter of the third son’s family were wronged, he never spoke for them.

He also felt that at least Xu Chunxiu was lucky since she did not starve to death compared to some people who had a harder life.

But now the third son rebelled, tearing up the peace that Xie Zhuzi had whitewashed before.

He knew that if he continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb, the family would not be able to stay together.

Xie Zhuzi felt a little resentful toward his wife Miao Fengmei. He hated her for doing such an excessive thing. If she had been a little nicer to Xu Chunxiu and her daughter, the filial third son would not have wanted to separate the family.

Xie Zhuzi took a few more puffs of his pipe.

There were few families in the village where the family separated while the parents were still alive. He was afraid that after today, he, the rich man that everyone envied, would become a joke among the villagers.

“Old man, what are you talking about?”

Miao Fengmei twisted Xie Zhuzi’s arm angrily, but Xie Zhuzi waved her arm away.

“If you keep making trouble, go back to your Miao family.”

After being oppressed for more than 30 years, Xie Zhuzi suddenly became tough, which not only surprised the people around him, but also frightened Miao Fengmei, an old woman who was used to being domineering.

“Okay, you all bully me.”

Miao Fengmei pointed at Xie Zhuzi and her third son Xie Changzheng, then turned back to her room, and refused to come out no matter who knocked on the door.

The matter of separating the family was in a deadlock.

Fortunately, Xie Changzheng did not think that this matter could succeed all at once, so he was not so disappointed.

He had already had a detailed plan, and soon, his mother would agree to the separation of the family.
