A row of commodity columns appeared in Yang Xiuying's mind, with the price of each item marked.

This is cheating. He brought the system with him when he traveled through time. Because the system was activated after the family split up, it seems that this family must be split up.

"Since we can't make it anymore, let's split up and live our own lives happily."

With the system, who would be afraid of going hungry after the family split up? Xiuying couldn't let her precious daughters, who had finally been waiting for them, just eat wild vegetable porridge. After the family split up, she would take her daughters to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, raising them all to be plump and white. With the system in hand, she didn't have to worry about anything.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuying took the initiative to propose to divide the family. Tian Guilan's eyes rolled around. Now all the hard and dirty work at home was done by the seven girls. If it was divided, then cooking, washing clothes and serving the mother-in-law would all fall on her shoulders alone. It would be no comfort as now to just sit and wait for food every day.

Not only did the seven girls do a lot of work, they also ate very little, and all they had to do was have some wild vegetable porridge every day.

But now Yang Xiuying actually dared to allow her daughter to take the eggs from home and kill chickens to eat. The money that her brother-in-law had redeemed over the years and the pensions for the seven girls were all in the hands of her mother-in-law. When her brother-in-law joined the army, he was the head cook, which was also an official position.

Thinking of this, Tian Guilan's eyes lit up. That was a considerable sum of money. If the family was divided, her mother-in-law would definitely want to be with her grandson, and then all the money would belong to her.

Hearing that Yang Xiuying wanted to divide the family, Zhao's mother frowned. In the past, this little whore was most afraid of being kicked out. Why is she taking the initiative to propose dividing the family now?

He still had the twenty taels of silver left by the second son. If he divided it up, wouldn't he have to give the silver to her? He also had seven girls who could fetch a lot of money if he sold them to the old bachelor. If he divided it up, how would he sell the girls?

Seeing Mother Zhao's hesitation, Guangzong wondered if Grandma really wanted to leave the money to those girls. He took Mother Zhao's arm and whispered, "Grandma, separate them. They dared to kill Grandma's chickens today and our sheep tomorrow. If they keep going like this, sooner or later this family will be ruined by them."

Yaozu looked at the leftover chicken bones on the table. This was the chicken that their grandchildren hadn't even eaten, and yet it was eaten by these girls. He said, "Grandma, separate them. Don't give them any of the chickens, ducks, or geese at home. Let them dare to eat Grandma's chicken."

When I inherit the Zhao family, these animals are not my own yet. Those girls eating my grandmother's chickens are like eating my own chickens.

Tian Guilan secretly glanced at her mother-in-law. Seeing that she was still hesitant, she said to her sons, "If the family is divided, the Zhao family will depend on you in the future. You will have to take care of the farm work, the work in the forests, and the household affairs."

When it came to work, the four older boys lowered their heads and remained silent.

Seeing that her mother-in-law hadn't said anything, Tian Guilan pursed her lips and said, "The most important thing is that you must respect your grandmother. This family depends on you from now on."

The four sons immediately understood what Tian Guilan meant and took Mother Zhao's arms.

"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."

"Yes, grandma, we will definitely let you live a good life."

"When I have something delicious, I will give it to my grandma first."

"Grandma, we will never eat the delicious food by ourselves like them. Even if we don't eat it ourselves, we will give it to you."

Mother Zhao felt warm in her heart as she looked at these adorable grandchildren. It turned out that boys were better than girls, and she was right to love them so much.

For the sake of his precious grandchildren, he decided to split up the family.

When Zhao's mother looked at the second house across from her, she put away her kindness towards her grandson and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I agree to divide the family. However, I've raised you for so many years in vain, and the money your father left behind is almost gone. For your father's sake, I won't let you take out the money. But you can't even think about the family land."

Then Zhao's mother pointed at Yang Xiuying and said, "Get out of the Zhao family with this money-losing thing of yours!"

The family's fields and grain should naturally be left to their precious grandson. Yang, an outsider, should never think of taking advantage of the Zhao family.

Hearing that Yang Xiuying would get nothing, Tian Guilan was delighted. Everything in the Zhao family would be hers from now on. Who dared to offend even her mother-in-law? In this family, the mother-in-law was the most powerful person. She didn't understand that only those who served her mother-in-law well could have a good life. She had four sons by her side, but what did Yang Xiuying have? Her husband was dead, and she only had seven daughters.

Yang Xiuying pulled out a kitchen knife from the coffee table and looked at Zhao's mother and Tian Guilan with raised eyebrows.

Tian Guilan instinctively took a step back, and her words became much gentler as she spoke: "Sister-in-law, you must keep this knife. You see, my second brother is gone, and there's not much use for you to take the land. It's just for a bite of food, and it will be given to outsiders in the future."

Tian Guilan wiped the non-existent tears from her face as she spoke: "The children at least call me auntie. I won't stop you if you want to divide the family property. How about this: the fields at home will still be taken care of by the maids, and I will give you some food. It will be considered as the fulfillment of our duty as sisters-in-law."

"Pah!" Yang Xiuying spat at Tian Guilan. Tian Guilan opened her mouth and almost swallowed the saliva. Before she could finish her words, she bent over and started to retch.

Yang Xiuying, you are such an ungrateful person!

"Tian Guilan, what are you planning? Don't think I don't know. The share of the family land and forests that belonged to my husband is now naturally inherited by my daughter. How can giving the land to my daughter mean that it is a bargain for outsiders? Are you saying that when you married into the Zhao family, you didn't bring the land with you and left it to your own brothers?"

Yang Xiuying sat down on the chair and looked at Zhao's mother. "We only want the share that belongs to my husband. If mother disagrees, then we can call the village chief and the respected elders in the village. Let them judge the matter and help us decide how to divide the land of our Zhao family."

When Zhao's mother heard that the village chief was going to divide the Zhao family's land, her face changed immediately. The fields were good and bad. The Zhao family had 23 acres of land, 10 acres of which were fertile land with a good harvest, and 13 acres of which were barren land and the rice harvest was only half of the 10 acres of good land.

The old village chief has always been fair and will definitely give half of the ten acres of fertile land to Yang Xiuying and will not let it get away with anything.

Thinking of this, Zhao's mother's tone softened a bit: "I think the eldest daughter-in-law's idea is good. Let a few girls help take care of the family fields and share the food with you. It means your dear sister-in-law is willing to suffer a loss."
