Quickly wear a life of peace

After getting the money, when the old lady proposed to divide the family again the next day, Xu Qingmao said nothing more.

He only suggested that it would take some time to find a suitable house, to which no one objected.

So, the Xu family completed the division quietly and silently, without seeking outsiders to witness and without making any big noise. The family simply sat together and had a farewell dinner.

Xu Qingmao took two days off from work to deal with the house issue wholeheartedly.

He had his eyes on the house before, but he just didn't have the money.

The house was originally the private property of a steward of a wealthy family.

The property has five spacious tiled rooms, a well and a grape vine in the yard.

Now, this wealthy family realizes that the situation is not good and is preparing to go abroad to seek refuge with relatives.

It is still uncertain whether they will return to their homeland in the future, but even if they do, it will be many years later, perhaps until they are old and return to their roots.

The housekeeper naturally wanted to leave with his master, so he was eager to deal with the house.

Xu Qingmao originally wanted to borrow some money from his friends or his father-in-law to buy it, but now he doesn’t need to do that and can just buy it directly.

This house was renovated not long ago, and the materials used are all high-quality, which can ensure decades of living quality.

If it weren't for the famine, Xu Qingmao couldn't afford to buy such a house. And the furniture inside couldn't be taken away, so he half-sold it and half-gave it away, and left it all behind.

After the transfer is completed and a simple cleaning is done, you can live here. After Xu Qingmao greeted the old lady and told her the address, he moved to the new home with the help of Xu Qingsheng.

The eldest aunt also joined in the fun and went along. Seeing the neat and spacious house that the second son's family lived in, she was envious. But then she thought that such a house would probably cost a lot of money, and seeing the unhappy face of the second son, it was estimated that the family's savings had been emptied, so she was not so envious anymore.

Of course, this was because she didn't know how much money the old lady had given Xu Qingmao. Although she guessed that the old lady must have taken the money, Xu Qingmao would have readily agreed to the division of the family. However, knowing the old lady's temperament, Fan Hua estimated that the money would not be much.

Who would have thought that Xu Qingmao would get two thousand yuan by using threats and intimidation.

After moving, the whole family was happy as they no longer had to deal with the old lady’s contempt every day. They decided to go to a state-owned restaurant to have a good meal and celebrate.

When she came back, Liu Ruolan saw her sister-in-law Xu Zhaodi standing in front of her house. She smiled and said hello: "My sister is here."

When Xu Zhaodi saw them coming back, she smiled, but still said awkwardly, "I just got here a while ago and was about to knock on the door."

Liu Ruolan asked a few children to call someone, then opened the door and invited them in.

Xu Qingmao, on the other hand, had a sour look on his face. He knew very well what kind of person his elder sister was. Nothing good happened every time she came.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the yard, before they had time to sit down and drink a sip of water, Xu Zhaodi began to lecture Xu Qingmao: "Second brother, have you upset mom again? You are a person with a very stubborn temper. You have been like a rolling pin since you were a child, as if our family has a grudge against you."

Xu Qingmao interrupted her impatiently: "Okay, big sister, stop talking. I don't want to hear you nagging about these useless things." Then he turned around and asked Xu Zhaodi: "Big sister, what did you bring today? Have you visited mom? Did mom invite you to dinner? Does my brother-in-law know you are here? Is dinner ready for tonight? Will Xiang Dang and Xiang Hong be hungry again? Also, be careful when you go home. Maybe your brother-in-law won't even let you cook in the future. Be careful that he kicks you out. I won't take you in."

Xu Qingmao launched a crazy attack on Xu Zhaodi with sharp and merciless words, which made Xu Zhaodi's face turn blue and red, which was very ugly.

Xu Zhaodi felt very upset, but she still stiffened her neck and argued: "Who am I doing this for? I just want to support you guys!"

Xu Qingmao would not be moved by such rhetoric. He sneered and retorted, "Oh? Really? Then where are the things you gave me as subsidies? I just moved to a new house and I'm short of money. How come you, your elder sister, don't even bring anything when you come to visit for the first time?"

Xu Zhaodi was left speechless by his question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Now she is no longer the head of the household and has no extra money.

When she returned to her parents' home today, she only brought back some food rations for the day, and left them all to her mother. She really had nothing to give to Xu Qingmao.

Xu Qingmao looked at Xu Zhaodi's embarrassed appearance and felt full of disdain.

He rolled his eyes fiercely and warned in an increasingly stern tone, "Sister, if you are still so stubborn and can't live a good life with your brother-in-law, and you spend all day thinking about emptying your husband's family and moving back to your parents' family, then please don't come to my house again. I don't want our family's reputation to be ruined because of you, affecting Duoduo and Youyou's reputation and making them unable to get married in the future. If this really happens, I will never let you go!"

After hearing these words, Xu Zhaodi's grievances suddenly burst out and tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes.

She felt that she had given too much to her mother's family and took care of her family with all her heart, but in return she received such ruthless accusations from her brother.

Xu Qingmao felt helpless as well. It's not that he didn't feel sorry for his sister. After all, his sister had always been very good to him and would always think of him whenever she had something good.

But it was precisely because I wanted my sister to have a better life that I had to be so harsh and rude to her.

Because he knew that persuasion alone would be of no use to his sister.

Xu Qingmao's parents educated his sister so successfully that her mother's home is the only thing in her heart and eyes.

Xu Qingmao even admired his parents a little. They wanted a filial son to take care of them in their old age, so they raised a foolishly filial Xu Qingsheng.

But when they wanted their daughter to provide more help to her family, they ended up raising a girl named Xu Zhaodi who only knew how to support her brother.

Xu Qingmao is the only exception in the family.

He was unwilling to become what his parents expected him to be, to be like an old ox, silently giving everything for his brothers, but he chose to rebel.

Seeing Xu Zhaodi's aggrieved expression, Xu Qingmao felt very impatient.

He felt that his eldest sister was completely unaware of her own problems. He did not feel that Xu Zhaodi was wronged at all. Instead, he felt sorry for his brother-in-law for marrying such a confused daughter-in-law.
