Chapter 193: Agree to Split the Family

If it were unavoidable, they had to understand their brothers and sister-in-law’s character. After observing for a while, Su Wen realized that Zhu Fang wasn’t the most detestable one. It was Xu Qianjin. It was an eye-opening experience. This peculiar eldest brother turned out to be unreasonable and lacking common sense.
“Big sister, is Sister Yulan alright? Do we need to stop them arguing?” Su Xiu asked worriedly.
“No need. Can’t you see I’m still here?”
Sometimes, quarrels did need someone to intervene, mediate the tension, and provide a way for both parties to save face. However, He Yulan’s mother-in-law was no ordinary, oblivious mother-in-law. She was known to be a competent woman, which was well-known in the village. Thus, there was no need for the usual intervention and persuasion that would typically occur in such situations.
They were all standing here and watching the show, waiting for He Yulan’s mother-in-law to show up! As expected, she didn’t disappoint.
“I agree!” Old Mr. Xu shouted sternly.
Xu Qianjin and Zhu Fang were so frightened that they were no longer in the mood to act. They stood up from the ground and said, “Dad, don’t be silly.”
“That’s right! How can we split up a good family?”
Cao Jing nodded in agreement.
He Yulan’s mother-in-law looked at her eldest son and daughter-in-law and sneered. “Do you think we don’t know what you’re thinking? We’ll split up now.”
“But…” Xu Qianjin wanted to say something, but Zhu Fang pulled him back.
Zhu Fang did not have the guts to refute her mother-in-law’s words. If it didn’t work, they could split up. After all, they were the eldest. Logically speaking, the parents had to live with the eldest son. And the second and third sons still came to provide them with good food and drinks.
Would her parents-in-law chase them all out? Zhu Fang did not believe it!
Xu Qianjin had thought of this as well. He did not object immediately and acted like a filial son. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
“Alright, you three brothers go out.”
“What? All of us?” Xu Qianjin shouted so loudly that his voice was almost split. “Yes! All of you go out. I’ll be alone with the old man. You only need to pay a fixed amount of money and food every year to us.” He Yulan’s mother-in-law stared at Zhu Fang coldly and said rudely, “Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Do you think you can play tricks on me? You’re still inexperienced.”
She had seen through the eldest son and his wife. They were lazy, selfish, and only cared about their interests. She had always supported them openly and behind the scenes, but they became increasingly greedy and self-centered. She no longer had any hope that such people would take care of her in her old age.
Since she couldn’t rely on them for her retirement, what was the point of letting them stay with her?
She better let them move out of the house.
These days, she could also see that the only ones who could be filial to them were her third son and his wife. Her third son had been a good child since he was young. After he got married, he did not forget his mother. His third daughter-in-law was not bad either. She knew that she was secretly biased, but she did not complain.
They had passed her test.
As for the second son and his wife, while they weren’t as bad as the eldest son, they were too cunning. There’s a saying that goes, “When someone is seriously ill, there are no filial children by their bedside.” When she and her husband were in good health, capable of working and earning money, everything was fine. But if they were to become old or sick, she had no idea how they would behave or take care of her.
Since that was the case, she might as well take advantage of the fact that she could still work and treat her third son and his wife well.
“Mother.” He Yulan called out gratefully. When she received a comforting look from her mother-in-law, all her grievances disappeared instantly. She felt that no matter how much work she did, it was worth it.
“Mother, you’re being too biased.” Zhu Fang shouted in panic..
