Mr. Huo is used to talking about important things during meals. The last time he did so was when he announced that Huo Yisheng was getting married.

So everyone was used to it, put down their chopsticks, looked at the old man, and waited for him to speak.

At this moment, Li Mingai's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and he had a bad feeling.

Then I heard Mr. Huo say, "Starting tomorrow, you should pack up your things and move back to your own houses."

One sentence stunned everyone!

Only ignorant children don’t know the true meaning of this sentence!

They were kicked out?!

Li Mingai quickly looked at her man. Huo Laoer and Huo Laosan looked at each other, and Li Mingai looked at Laosan's wife, Ge Xiangqin.

The two sisters-in-law exchanged glances instantly.

Although there was no verbal communication, everyone reached a consensus at that moment.

Can't go!

You must not leave!

So the two of them looked at their men at the same time, hoping that they would speak out loud. They had to be more forceful at this time.

Huo Laoer spoke first: "Dad, have you encountered something unpleasant? You are here, this is our home, our whole family can live together and have fun, isn't that good?"

Huo Lao San also agreed: "Yes, don't you always like lively and bustling things? Look at how many young people there are in our two families. It's so nice to have them chatting with you all the time!"

Li Mingai and Ge Xiangqin also spoke up: "Dad, is there something we did wrong? Just tell us directly, we will definitely change. But please don't say such things, we are a family!"

"Dad, how about I quit my job too? My second sister-in-law and I will stay at home to take care of you!"

It has to be said that the two couples and four people completely understood what Mr. Huo was thinking.

Old Master Huo was shaken. He really wanted such a happy and lively life. He had been living like this for so many years. Now he was suddenly asked to change. He was not used to it. Just thinking about it made him feel very uncomfortable.

But then he thought of what the boss said.

"...The situation is unstable right now. Our Huo family attracts attention. The second and third sons usually act in a high-profile and unrealistic manner. You know all this, right?"

"For the sake of everyone, I'm dividing the family now. Maybe I'm being overly concerned, but if turmoil really does occur, at least we can still preserve some of our family."

"Besides, this house originally belonged to me. I didn't give it to Yiting when he got married. Now that Yisheng is married, I have to give it to him no matter what."

"To put it bluntly, if something happens to me, I won't be able to save this house."

The old man is not senile yet. The eldest brother analyzed the affairs of the government hall with him, and he also noticed some of the behaviors of the second and third brothers.

So, he had to admit that the boss was right.

So he paused for a moment, then said:

"You each got a house. This is your eldest brother's house. Now that the third son is getting married, your eldest brother is going to renovate it and give it to the young couple to live in."

Li Mingai couldn't help but ask: "Do they, the young couple, really want to live in such a big house?"

Although the others didn't say anything, they obviously thought the same thing in their hearts.

Old Master Huo's face darkened. Although he wanted a lively family, the eldest son's family was away and could not give him a lively big family, so he preferred the second and third sons' families, but he was not confused in his heart.

The eldest brother's family is the foundation of their Huo family.

So, he said in a cold voice: "This is the boss's house. Whether they can live there or not is their family's business."

"It's too big for Xiao Sanzi and his wife, and there's also Yi Ting's family."

"Don't forget, your big brother helped you get your jobs. If it weren't for him, you'd still be digging in the countryside! What, now that you've had such a good life, you don't know your own limitations?!"

"You've lived in this courtyard for so long, do you really think it belongs to you?"

Everyone in the room was silent.

Even the three-year-old child felt the strangeness of the atmosphere and was too scared to speak.

The second and third sons' families all looked unhappy because what the old man said was true. The Huo family used to be peasants.

Old Master Huo joined the army, but was later injured and discharged and returned to his hometown. It was thanks to Commander Huo's military achievements that the Huo family was able to gain a foothold in the capital.

The second and third brothers of the Huo family had attended school and had a certain level of education, so they came to Commander Huo for help. Commander Huo thought that they were brothers after all, so he arranged for them to go to the capital and take up certain positions in some functional departments.

Although the subsequent development was all achieved through their own efforts, they did rely on Commander Huo's power at the beginning.

Without him, their family would still be living in the countryside.

Over the years, no one mentioned it, but they didn't expect that the old man would expose it directly at this time.

For them, this is a naked tearing off of the fig leaf.

The old man continued, "You all have your own houses, so move back there. Don't make a scene. After all, you're all well-known people now."

Huo Lao Er still didn't give up and asked, "What about you, Dad?"

Mr. Huo looked at him, then at the third brother, and said:

"If you want me to live with you, then starting tomorrow, I'll take turns living in your three houses. If you think I'm too old and useless, I'll just live with the eldest one."

Of course, the second and third Huo brothers said they would not mind, and they each winked at their wives, hoping that they would say something nice to appease the old man.

But Li Mingai and Ge Xiangqin were now immersed in the resentment and anger of being kicked out. When they received the looks from their respective men, they had no mood to pay attention to them.

So neither of them moved or made a sound.

Old Master Huo saw it all, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed and upset.

Just as the eldest brother said, they were willing to coax an old man like him. What they valued was not the harmonious family relationship he thought it was, but only this courtyard house, nothing more.

Since this is the case, we must return the courtyard house as soon as possible.

The current situation is indeed very chaotic. It is possible that the world will be completely different overnight.

The old man made up his mind and said directly without any hesitation:

"No need to say anything else. We'll start moving tomorrow and finish it in a week. If we can't finish it, and the decorators come in, don't complain if your things get bumped and damaged."

This directly eliminates their desire to stay and not leave.

This dinner was not very enjoyable. Back in the room, Huo Lao Er frowned, his face full of confusion and bewilderment: "What happened? Why did you suddenly ask us to move out when everything was fine?"

"Did something happen to the people you sent to the island?"

Li Mingai's eyebrows jumped: "No way?"

She was also unsure. "How could she, a new bride, challenge the people sent by our elders? Besides, even if there were any conflicts, they wouldn't have come to the capital, right? It definitely couldn't be this reason!"
