I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm
Chapter 18: The Zhao Family Splits
Old Mrs. Zhao stared at Zhao Youliang with her eyes wide open in disbelief. When did her eldest son become so thoughtful?
Now that he had made it clear, the matter could no longer be hidden. Old Lady Zhao simply played the victim: "Youliang, you also know that your brother has few children. You are a grandfather, and his son is only eleven years old. Don't you want his daughter to marry a good family, so that she can help Gui Geer in the future?"
Zhao Youliang held his breath and asked back, "Didn't I persuade him to break off the engagement with the Ye family?"
"How could you ruin Tao Jie'er's reputation? If this happens, will it be possible for Tao Jie to find a good family or a scholar? You are Tao Jie'er's uncle! Do you want to harm her?!" Old Mrs. Zhao stood up anxiously and said.
"Then let my daughter marry into the Ye family? Let Sister Tao snatch my cousin's marriage and her life? Let her suffer for the rest of her life!" Zhao Youliang was almost laughing at his mother's anger. What a bullshit excuse! Did his daughter deserve to be married off by someone else?
Old Mrs. Zhao didn't realize she was wrong at all, and she was still stubborn: "You saw it today, the Ye family is not that bad, how could it harm Li Jie'er? Maybe she will live a better life than Tao Jie'er in the future!"
At the end, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but mutter: "Besides, she is not your biological child."
Zhao Youliang really didn't even have the energy to argue with his mother. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness. "Zhao Li is Guizhi and I's biological daughter! Mother, let's separate. We can live separately and you can stay here with the second wife."
"What? What did you say? Divide the family? For that child you picked up?" Mrs. Zhao's eyes were filled with astonishment. Was this still her good son who always listened to her? How dare he bring up the idea of dividing the family?
"Mom! Never mention Li Jie'er's life experience again!" Zhao Youliang was also angry and shouted at Old Lady Zhao.
Old Mrs. Zhao: “…”
She had never mentioned anything about Zhao Li before. Wasn't she forced into a corner by Zhao Youliang today?
"Divide the family? I don't agree!" Zhao Youfu had just entered the house and was still in the yard when he heard the word "divide the family" from Old Lady Zhao's sharp and unbelievable voice. He ignored everything else and jumped three feet high into Old Lady Zhao's room.
The eldest house is to be divided? How can this be done! Who will do the farm work? Who will do the housework? How can Zhao Youfu support this family by himself?
Zhou and her children could hear the conversation in the room clearly. They stood in the yard in silence. Except for Zhou and Zhao Qian who looked calm, everyone else had a look of shock on their faces, but no one asked any questions.
At this time, in Mrs. Zhao's room:
"Brother, are you confused? Father and mother are still alive and well, so why are you talking about dividing the family?" Zhao Youfu accused angrily.
Zhao Youliang stared into his eyes calmly and asked, "Why are you so anxious? I didn't see you so anxious when we were harvesting in the fields."
Zhao Youfu was startled and began to stutter: "I, I, that's not..."
"What's not? Don't we still have me and Brother Qian and the others? You deserve to be supported by our whole family?!" Zhao Youliang raised his voice unconsciously.
Zhao Youfu: "......"
Seeing her youngest son being humiliated, Mrs. Zhao unconsciously turned to Zhao Youfu and said, "What's wrong with the younger generation doing more? Otherwise, why would they keep their energy?"
"what about me?"
"You are his eldest brother, shouldn't you give in to him?"
"Huh? Is Zhao Youfu a three-year-old child or an eighty-year-old man? The superiors should give in to him and the subordinates should respect him? He takes it for granted to enjoy it?" Zhao Youliang could not help laughing miserably. He was really stupid, absolutely stupid!
So their family worked so hard to support the second wife's family, and the mother still thought it was her due? Zhao Youfu deserved it, he was the eldest brother and that was what he deserved!
"Please ask the clan leader to preside over the division of the family. We will pack up and move out tomorrow."
"Brother!" Zhao Youfu could tell that what Zhao Youliang said just now was not a joke. He was anxious: "Zhao Youliang! Do you want to be an unfilial son?!"
Zhao Youliang's legs stopped just as he was about to step out of the door. Without even turning his head, he asked, "Do you know what happened when Li Jie'er and Tao Jie'er were swapped for marriage? Am I unfilial? Haha, then be unfilial."
Zhao Youliang was tired and left Old Lady Zhao's room with a dejected look on his face. He told Zhao Guoer to invite the clan members over and went back to his room to wait.
Zhao Youfu looked at Zhao Youliang's back and became furious: "Mom, look at my brother, that's not his biological daughter, but Tao Jie'er is his biological niece..."
"Okay! Don't mention Li Jie'er's life experience anymore, and you get out!" For the first time in her life, Old Mrs. Zhao got angry with her second son.
Zhao Youliang is a straightforward person. He protects his family very much and is not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Even if he works harder and gets paid less, he will not argue with his family. This time, they may have really touched his sore spot and broken his heart.
Old Mrs. Zhao could see that Zhao Youliang was serious today.
The division of the family property went relatively smoothly. Old Mrs. Zhao did not want to completely part with her eldest son. She knew very well what kind of person Zhao Youfu was. She might have to rely on the eldest wife to serve her in the future, so the division of the family property was fair.
Land, silver, food, including the chickens, ducks and one pig raised at home, were given to them in exchange for silver. The gifts that Ye Ze and his friends brought back to their parents' home were also taken away by the eldest wife.
It was only then that Zhao Youfu and Li realized that Zhao Li had brought gifts when she returned home. Their faces turned red and white. The Ye family, whom they disliked and replaced, also brought gifts to the Zhao family, but the Shen family did not prepare anything.
With the presence of Old Lady Zhao and the clan members, the two brothers did not fight in the end, but they were completely alienated from each other.
The next day, Zhao Youliang and his family moved to a dilapidated old house at the end of the village. They spent most of the day packing up and moving. Many people from the village came to help, but Zhao Youfu's family didn't even show up.
The news of the Zhao family's division was known to everyone in the village, but in that era, information was blocked and it took some time for the news to reach Liushu Village.
Early in the morning, after watching Boss Ye and his group leave, Ye Ze went to borrow his cousin's ox cart. There were several baskets of herbs packed in different categories. If he was asked to carry it, it would take him forever.
Even if he wasn't going to actually go to town to sell herbs, he had to pretend to do so.
Old Mrs. Ye was definitely not comfortable with letting him carry the luggage there by himself, so Ye Ze had no choice but to borrow an ox cart to take him to town.
On the way, Ye Ze was still worried, what should he do if he couldn’t borrow a ox cart?
After all, because of the original owner's previous reputation, he really had no credibility in the village! The villagers would stay away from him when they saw him.
