âHow? You havenât seen my parents-in-law. Theyâre so biased. My brother-in-law is in charge of the farmhouse. That farmhouse was so profitable. Maybe he was greedy. Besides, both of us is working. The Younger Brother is the only one working in their house, and Sister-in-law is still at work. No matter what, the money shouldnât be divided equally.â
She didnât know what the other party was trying to persuade her, but Meng Xiaoning continued, âYou didnât see the way their entire family looked at me today. It was as if I had done something outrageous. In the future, I still have to rely on my son to fight for the inheritance for me. All of them say nice things. No matter how good they are to Xiangxiang now, can they give the inheritance to Xiangxiang in the future? At that time, wouldnât she be like a married daughter who was splashed with water?â
Li Leiâs body trembled. He didnât expect Meng Xiaoning to think so.
It turned out that she didnât have a problem with Xiangxiang.
Instead, she had her own opinions about the entire family.
He stood outside and couldnât figure it out for a moment.
In the past, when they were poor, it would have been great if the family had been harmonious and beautiful.
At that time, everyone would work together, and no one would care about how much they did.
How else could they get rich now, buy a small villa in the city, and drive a car that cost hundreds of thousands?
And then she said the whole family was starting to be alienated?
They started to haggle over who had more and who had less.
âNow that people are rich, they all run out. Whoâs like our family, holed up in this small mountain village? I have the money, but itâs not mine. I canât make the decision. Who would want to stay in this lousy place if they could make the decision?â
âThe children go to school in the county, but how good can the county be? Let s not talk about the others. Back then, didnât my eldest sister-in-law go to the city to school her three children? Why werenât they in the county? It must be because the quality of the teaching in the city was better.â
âI want to go, but the city is so far away from here. I can take care of the children, but I canât take care of the greenhouse and the farmhouse. The money I earn will be even more unimaginable when the time comes.â
âAll they know is to force me. Who knows the pain in my heart? Li Lei was a fool. He always thought they were family and did not need to overthink. That was in the past. Now that he was married, only his wife and children were family to him.â
âMom, donât worry. Li Lei is stupid, but Iâm not. Iâm keeping an eye on the greenhouse and the farmhouse. I wonât suffer any losses.â
Li Lei couldnât bear to listen to Meng Xiaoningâs words anymore. He pushed the door open and looked straight at Meng Xiaoning, âStop talking. Letâs split up!â Meng Xiaoning was shocked, and the phone in her hand fell to the ground.
She quickly picked up the phone and hung it up a moment later.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face and said guiltily, âWhen did you come back?â
Li Lei pursed his lips and said again, âIâll tell my parents now to split up. After splitting up the family, everything would be fine.â
Meng Xiaoning lowered her head and didnât say anything.
Looking at her, Li Leiâs heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
âWe can split up the family, but tell me, if we split up, can you treat Xiangxiang better? She is also your daughter, not someone you picked up.â Li Lei asked with a frown.
Meng Xiaoning nodded, âI think Iâm right. Sheâs my flesh and blood. How can I not love her? If you want me to be better to her, I can do it.â
âAlright,â Li Lei said. âCome with me then. We can discuss the matter of splitting up while everyone is here.â
Meng Xiaoning saw that Li Leiâs tone was stiff until he said something out of anger.
However, these angry words hit the bottom of her heart.
She had wanted to move out for a long time but knew Li Leiâs temper. If she mentioned moving out, Li Lei would quarrel with her.
Now that Li Lei had suggested splitting, she would definitely agree.
After this village, there wouldnât be such a shop.
She immediately hugged Li Jie and stood up, âAlright, let s go.
Ji Yuanyuan was playing at the entrance with the two children. From afar, she saw her Uncle and Aunt carrying Li Jie over.
Eldest Uncle walked alone in front while Eldest Aunt followed behind with the child in her arms.
Eldest Uncle walked a little fast, and Eldest Aunt looked like she couldnât keep up at all.
Eldest Uncle was not a chauvinistic person. He would definitely not ignore Eldest Aunt if he were not extremely angry.
So, did these two people quarrel?
Thinking of this, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little guilty.
Did they quarrel because of what she said?
Feeling guilty, she waited for Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning to come in front of her. Her voice was a little soft as she greeted them, âEldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt.â
Li Lei nodded at her and Meng Xiaoning reluctantly nodded.
The couple didnât stay any longer and went straight in.
The others were all sitting at the table in the living room, chatting and laughing. It was very lively.
When Li Lei and his wife came in, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Then, Qin Xiaomin stood up and called out to Meng Xiaoning, âSister-in-law, I saw that you didnât eat much just now. Shall I get you another bowl of rice?â Zhang Kun also pulled Li Lei, âSit down. Letâs drink more. We were still talking about the past just nowâ¦â
Li Lei didnât let Zhane Kun finish. He looked at Lin finihua and Li Zhimme. Li Lei didnât let Zhang Kun finish. He looked at Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming, âFather, Mother, I want to split up.â
Everyone was stunned.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly froze.
âSplit up? Why do you want to split up for no reason? Brother, are you crazy? Youâ¦â After being stunned for a while, Li Yong was the first to react. He asked
Li Lei a series of questions.
However, before he could finish, Qin Xiaomin stopped him.
Li Yong didnât have a brain, but she did.
The matter of splitting up was most likely not Big Brotherâs idea, but Sister-in-lawâs idea.
Li Yong was pulled by his wife and instantly understood. He quickly shut his mouth and didnât say anything.
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming didnât expect their eldest son to suggest splitting up suddenly.
After so many years, they ate, worked, and put in all their effort together.
The money earned every year was also divided equally between the eldest and second sons.
In just a few years, their family had gone from the poorest family in the village to the wealthiest family in the village.
His eldest son had changed to a big house in the city and a car that cost hundreds of thousands.
Not only did he replace the loan for his youngest sonâs villa, but he also changed his mother-in-lawâs house to a bigger one.
Seeing that the days were getting better and better, why did he suddenly mention the matter of splitting up?
Li Xu frowned and hesitated.
Ji Yuanyuan stood in the courtyard and looked at Ji Zixuan guiltily, âBig brother, today⦠Did I do something wrong?â
She just couldnât stand how Eldest Aunt treated Xiangxiang so unfairly, so she said a few words on Xiangxiangâs behalf.
How did it turn into a severe situation where they were going to split up?
Was her words too much?
