The next morning, Ye Xiuying finished washing up, and the family had a simple meal and planned to go to the elders of the clan to discuss the division of the family.

Ye Xiuying had originally planned to wait until Zicheng grew up, had money, and had a place to live before dividing the family. But now that she and the Wen family have completely fallen out, she feels uncomfortable living in the same yard, so it would be better for her to move out early.

Nowadays, the elders in the Wen family include the second uncle and the third uncle. Wen Qingcheng's grandfather passed away early. Although the second uncle is the eldest in the family now, the third uncle has been able to study since he was young and knows a lot, so the elders and juniors in the family respect him. Basically, he makes the decisions on all matters, big or small, and everyone believes in what he says.

Wen Qingcheng and her family came to her third uncle's house. When they heard that Ye Xiuying wanted to separate from the family with the children, her third uncle was the first to vote against it.

Uncle San picked up a chopstick from the chopstick holder on the table and used it as an analogy: "Brothers should be united. A single chopstick will break if it is bent. If it is a bunch of chopsticks, it will be so easy to break..."

Before he finished speaking, Chuyi picked up a pair of chopsticks and broke them easily with a "crack!", saying innocently, "There is no difference."

Wen Qingcheng almost laughed out loud, but luckily she managed to hold it back.

"Uncle San, please stop trying to persuade me. Over the years, my husband and I have done our best to show filial piety. We have nothing to let them down. I don't want to mention the past grudges anymore. Let's start living our own lives from now on." Ye Xiuying sighed.

"Any conflicts between brothers can be mediated. I can come forward and talk to you. For a woman like you with a child, it's not that easy to divide the family."

"I appreciate Third Uncle's kindness, but now we have fallen out. You know how they have bullied our family over the years. I have made up my mind." Ye Xiuying looked determined.

The third uncle knew that although Ye Xiuying was cowardly, she was very stubborn and would not change her mind once she made up her mind, so he agreed to help them divide the family property.

The third uncle also called the second uncle, and the group came back quickly. When Wen Lao Da and others saw that Ye Xiuying had invited the second uncle and the third uncle, they knew that the family was going to be divided today, so they decided not to go out to do farm work and called the third uncle's family to discuss matters together in the outer hall of the north room.

The family got together and got straight to the point. Seeing that both parties agreed, the third uncle began to get straight to the point.

"The family land was left by your father. It should be divided equally among the three brothers. Each of you can get two acres of land." The third uncle started with the biggest share.

"Uncle San, what you said is unfair." Zhao Chunhua was the first to jump out and object.

A gleam of light shot out of Third Uncle's triangular eyes, and Zhao Chunhua, who had been baring her fangs and claws, instantly became limp, and her voice also became weaker.

"You bitch." Wen Lao San scolded, and then said, "Uncle San, Chunhua speaks frankly. If the three brothers divide it equally, it will be unfair to us."

"How is it unfair?" said the third uncle in a deep voice.

"Our Baolong is already seven years old. He is growing fast every year. He should be married in seven or eight years. Shouldn't we give him a share of the land?"

Zhang Sufen was immediately unhappy when she heard this. They didn't have a son, so she wouldn't let this happen. "Our eldest son is the eldest son, so he should get more."

Seeing that there was going to be a conflict between the two families, Old Lady Wen immediately interrupted the two families from casting spells: "You two thief wives, why are you meddling in this? Now the second family wants to split up, but you don't want to do so."

"Mom, didn't my third uncle say that the land should be divided equally among the three brothers? This is unfair to us. The two elders are gone. In my opinion, the land should not be divided among them." Zhao Chunhua muttered.

Wen Qingcheng couldn't help laughing, "Uncle San, listen to how ridiculous they are. They are indeed a bunch of legal illiterates. The land was left by grandpa, and the three brothers can inherit it. Your son Baolong can wait until you two die and inherit your share. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, the Third Uncle nodded silently: "Yes, that's the truth."

Seeing that her third uncle was on Ye Xiuying's side, Zhao Chunhua couldn't stand it anymore and started to make a scene.

"Our Baolong is the legitimate grandson of the family. Let mother divide the land and property. She can give it to whoever she wants." Zhao Chunhua was so anxious that her hair stood on end.

"Yes, I have the final say. Baolong must have a share." said Old Mrs. Wen.

"According to what you said, our Zicheng should also get a share?" Ye Xiuying said.

"Zicheng cannot share. Logically speaking, you are not even qualified to share an acre of land." Boss Wen, who had been sitting silently aside, pounded the table and said in a loud voice.

"Brother, you have to speak with conscience. Our home is the same as it was when I first got married. My husband and I lived frugally, and he earned money by copying books for others. We rebuilt our home with bricks and tiles. I think half of the furniture in the house was purchased by us." Ye Xiuying became more and more excited as she spoke. Her voice trembled and her eyes filled with tears.

"It's the hottest day of the year, and there's no one at home to look after the children. I carry the children on my back to work in the fields, and you guys are all sleeping at home. Over the years, how have we ever let you down? Do you still have a conscience..."

By the end of her speech, Ye Xiuying had already burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

"Zicheng's mother, what you said is wrong. How much work can you, a woman, do? It's not as much as the third brother and the eldest brother who do more. When the second brother was alive, he read all day and couldn't lift anything with his hands or carry anything on his shoulders." Zhang Sufen said.

Zhao Chunhua immediately agreed, "That's right, he is not cut out for farm work, he just dreams of being a scholar all day long."

"I remember that every time during the busy farming season, my father came home very late with blisters on his hands and feet. He couldn't even have a hot meal when he came back. Our family prepared meals, but we could only eat leftovers!" Wen Qingcheng recalled the original owner's memory and immediately refuted.

Seeing that the second uncle didn't understand, he pulled the third uncle. "I think we shouldn't divide anything. Third brother, let's not get involved in the affairs of the first house. They won't get anything, so they won't divide the family."

Old Lady Wen poked the ground with her cane and snorted, "The third son's wife is right. The second son has been studying since he was young. He has never done any housework. Do you still want to divide the family property? Dream on!"

Ye Xiuying knew that this family was unreasonable, but she didn't expect them to be so shameless and confuse right and wrong. If Wen Liang were still alive, he would be so heartbroken to hear this.

Ye Xiuying was so angry that her eyes were dizzy. Wen Qingcheng saw that Ye Xiuying's hands were shaking, so she reached out and held her hand, and pulled her to sit down first. It was up to her to deal with these scoundrels next.

Wen Qingcheng sneered at Boss Wen and the others, "You guys are really good at calculating. What? You don't give us anything and want to force us to stay and continue to suck our blood? Is Third Uncle trying to contact people outside and force me to sell myself out again?"
