As soon as the words of dividing the family came out, Ma Shiwu and Zhu's faces turned not just pale, but completely pale.

It's not just because of this, but also because they could hear that the old man spoke clearly and with full energy. How could he look like someone who was about to die?

I can live another ten years without any problem!

Could it be that she originally couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to wait until Tiezhu got married, and then leave contentedly, but was angered by them and came back?

Their original plan was to drive Tiezhu out after the old man passed away, not to split the family while the old man was still alive.

Even half of the land they are farming now is the permanent land divided by Tiezhu and Tiezhu's father. If the land is divided, all of this will have to be returned, and their lives will be much more difficult than they are now!

Ma Shiwu reacted quickly. He turned around, slapped his wife in the face, and scolded her loudly!

"You black-hearted woman! You always come up with such rotten ideas. After marrying you, Tiezhu has suffered so much at your hands! Because you are my wife, I have always been partial to you over the years. Now you have done such a shameful thing. How are we going to face our brothers and sisters in a hundred years' time?"

Zhu was stunned by his slap, but she immediately realized that her man was planning to put all the blame on her!

She hated it and was unhappy about it, but what could she say about the situation before her? Things had already gotten to this point, and if she joined in the chaos, their family would be left with nothing!

Ma Shiwu turned around and knelt down in front of his father. "Dad! Please, for the sake of my wife's dedication in serving you over the years, and because she gave birth to my son, can you please give her a chance? I will definitely take good care of them and treat Tiezhu well in the future!"

Fang Tong really admires his shamelessness at this moment. This guy can bend and stretch. No wonder Tiezhu's father had to suffer at the hands of this eldest brother when he was alive, not to mention the honest Tiezhu. This guy is really a ruthless guy!

However, since Mr. Ma has been able to protect Tiezhu for so many years, he is not someone who can be fooled easily. He did not respond to his eldest son's words at all. At this time, Goudan, who had gone to the village chief's house to ask for help, came back.

The village chief had only heard that something had happened here. When he came over and saw so many people in the yard, he was a little confused about the situation.

In front of the village chief, Mr. Ma sighed: "I am old, and I am afraid it will be too late in the future. I asked you to come here today because I want to divide this family. Village chief, please come and be a witness!"

Ma Shiwu called out "Dad," but the old man didn't even look at him and continued, "Everything in the house, except the house for the eldest, and the food and money will be divided into three parts. One for me, one for the eldest son, and one for my grandson Tiezhu."

It's not that he is partial to the eldest daughter, it's just that the house is given to the eldest daughter. This has been the rumor in the village for many years.

Even though Ma Shiwu was no longer a useful person, he was still his son. Old Master Ma still cared about their blood relationship, so this house was a face he gave him.

"Tiezhu's father and his permanent farmland. Now Tiezhu is old enough to farm on his own. He doesn't need the eldest brother's help to manage it. What belongs to him is still his."

"My share of the land is still mine. I don't need to trouble you to plant it for me."

Hearing this, Ma Shiwu could no longer kneel. Just as he was about to say something, the old man glared at him.

He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and changed his tone: "Dad, after all, I am the eldest in the family. You only have me as your son now. Let me take care of you in your old age."

It was a bit awkward to say this at this time. Everyone present could see that he was after the old man's share.

He really thought so. No matter whether the old man was in good spirits again or not, at such an old age, it was only a matter of time before he passed away. When his father passed away, wouldn't all his father's things still belong to him?

If a person cannot even walk due to a stroke, how long can he live?

Whether his plan is good or not depends on whether Tiezhu agrees with it.

"No, I don't agree. My grandfather must live with me. He does have only one son now, but he has more than just one grandson."

Tiezhu said this with such confidence that the village chief looked at him twice.

No matter how much Ma Shiwu wanted to, it was useless if Old Man Ma disagreed. "I don't want to live with the eldest brother. A while ago, no one took care of me at home all day. Your whole family didn't serve me wholeheartedly. I want to follow Tiezhu. I want to live a few more years."

These words were so heartbreaking that it was almost like pointing at his eldest son's nose and saying that he had bad intentions and wanted him dead.

Besides, Mr. Ma just wanted to leave his share to Tiezhu, otherwise he would not have divided the family property into three parts.

Ma Shiwu was furious and started crying loudly, "Dad, you are too partial. You used to favor your younger brother, and now you favor your nephew. Since we are dividing the family property, according to the rules, 70% should be given to the eldest son. Why should I divide the family property if you are doing this?"

The old man ignored him: "I'm not dead yet, I can still make the decisions about family matters!"

Ma Shiwu couldn't help but say, "Father, Tiezhu is your grandson, and my son is also your grandson. No matter what, this shouldn't be divided into three parts, but into four, right?"

The old man was just in poor health, not confused. "Tiezhu's father is gone. Is his father gone? If he wants the family property, he'll ask you for it. As his grandfather, I've already raised his father, and I don't expect him to be filial to me. How much is too much?"

"If you still don't agree, you can just go to the government office and sue me!"

If a son goes to the yamen to report his father, no matter what the matter is, Ma Shiwu will be scolded to death.

After all, he had protected Tiezhu for so many years, and Mr. Ma was very strong. Even if these things were decided, the village chief did not speak to persuade him. It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs.

What's there to be reluctant about? They can solve it themselves. He won't get involved.

Fang Tong truly admired this old man's courage. He had used the scandal of Ma Laifu to cut the Gordian knot and help his brother sever all these ties. This was something only the old man, the head of the family, could do, and today was the perfect time.

Old Master Ma had never divided the family before, firstly because he felt that Tiezhu was still not grown up and had not married, and secondly because he was reluctant to leave his eldest son's family. Now he is really disappointed. No matter how much they bullied Tiezhu on a daily basis, they should not have used such a big thing to settle accounts with him.

They signed the document in the presence of the village chief.

Ma Shiwu was naturally reluctant, but he had to do it today whether he wanted to or not.

After confirming that the work was done, Mr. Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the man had lost a lot of energy.

"I'm tired, Fang Tong. Please help me drive those dirty guys out. This is not their home, nor is it our home. Don't let these people destroy other people's homes."

Fang Tong asked Erwa's younger brother to send the old man back. On the other side, the two women who disliked each other started fighting again.

Huang had almost torn Cui Pingping's clothes to pieces, which was really shameful.

The brothers were so disgusted that they drove them all out. Zhu supported her son with a distressed look on her face. When she thought about how the family was divided, she even felt empty in her heart.
