Old Man Xu is the eldest in the clan, so Lady Xu Wang can be considered the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family.

Although his seniority is not as great as that of my great uncle, he is not much older than me.

Although Xu Wangshi had a "bad" reputation, she was a widow who supported the family alone and rarely caused trouble for her elders. Xu's uncle almost always responded to her requests.

Xu Huaichuan didn't expect it to come to this. He just wanted to scare his mother, but judging from the situation, his mother really wanted to split the family business.

"Mom, I was wrong. I won't fight to divide the family. It's all because of Cheng Yuan's mother. She thinks you've left all the good things to my younger sister, so she told me to fight for more for the second branch..."

Xu Wangshi shook her head at him. "Your wife is not a good one, and you are also a worthless person. It's just right to separate them and give me some peace and quiet."

Xu Wangshi stared at Su Li and Xu Chengyuan who were hiding in the corner: "Su Shi, Xu Chengyuan, both of you come stand in the middle of the hall."

Su Li realized that the matter had gotten out of hand and knew she couldn't escape, so she pulled her son to stand obediently behind Xu Huaichuan.

"From now on, the second branch of the Xu family will live alone..."

Xu Huaichuan was still a little sad, but Lidya Su didn't think there was anything wrong with dividing the family. She just wanted more property, "Mom, the second son is your son, Cheng Yuan is your eldest grandson..."

"Hmph, son? Grandson? I have plenty!" Mrs. Xu Wang really couldn't understand what the point of her second daughter-in-law always picking on the eldest grandson was.

"If you two, as parents, agree, Cheng Yuan can change his surname to Su." Xu Wangshi simply made a harsh statement.

"Mother/grandmother/nephew's wife..." Mrs. Xu Wang said in an attitude that no one could accept.

"Uncle, your descendants are unfilial and will only cause trouble. The Xu family has Huaishan, Huaize, and their sons, so the incense will never be cut off."

"You can't be so casual." Third uncle is the elder, and he still can't accept his children and grandchildren changing their surnames.

"Whatever?" Facing everyone's confusion, Xu Wangshi sighed.

Looking at the second son who was standing there begging for mercy, completely unaware of his wrongdoing, he said, "Xu Huaichuan, let me ask you, do you think I am partial to your sister and have treated you harshly?"

Xu Huaichuan wanted to say yes, but he didn't dare to answer. He lowered his head and looked aggrieved.

"Just because you're silent doesn't mean you think so. But I have to say, if we really talk about favoritism, you're the one who's the most partial and caring in this family!"

Xu Huaichuan's shoulders trembled at his mother's yelling. Lidya Su, who was standing behind him, retorted, "Oh, the old lady is so unrealistic. Everyone in Xinshan Village knows that the old lady of the Xu family doesn't love her son, and even her grandson is not as good as her youngest daughter. A sister-in-law who can't get married is a treasure, and a grandson who can't find a wife is a weed."

"Ms. Su, I advise you to shut up, otherwise I will kick you out tonight." Mrs. Xu Wang was not affected at all when she saw that Mrs. Sun was going crazy.

She admitted: "Siyu is my lifeblood, that's right. But the roots of the Xu family are these three brothers, and I, an old woman, am still sober."

Xu Wangshi's words comforted the two uncles at the right time and made them continue to listen to her.

"The Xu family didn't have much savings. When the old man passed away, he left behind this dilapidated courtyard and eight acres of land. Over the years, the land has been taken care of by Huaishan's family, and the taxes and grain are also paid by them. With more than a dozen people to feed, they have to buy some food every year to barely make ends meet.

The Huai Ze family went to the town to work as laborers to earn money to supplement the family income.

So, Xu Huaichuan, your son, your brother, what did your family do?

Oh, you're so sneaky and cunning, you have no food, no wages, and only three mouths to feed. And after dinner you still scold me for being a biased mother who took food from the eldest and third children." Xu Wang's voice became much louder as she spoke excitedly.

Xu Huaichuan didn't dare to respond.

They just want to compete with Xu Siyu, who wants to compete with Xu Huaishan and Xu Huaize.

He also has helpers with farm work, but the eldest brother is hardworking, so he would make things worse. Wouldn't that mean he can just be idle and lazy?

My mother wanted his family to raise a pig, but his wife thought it was dirty and smelly, and there was no one to cut grass for the pig, so she refused. She said that even if she raised a pig, she would not be able to eat pork, so it was better not to do it. As long as she could have some food to eat at home, it would be fine.

Seeing Xu Huaichuan still looking a little ashamed, Xu Wang turned around and asked her second daughter-in-law, who was even more unaware of her fault: "Su, my daughter can't get married, so I'm raising her. If your son can't find a wife, shouldn't you, as his mother, also raise him?"

"Why? She's a girl. Sooner or later, she'll belong to someone else. No matter which family she's in, she'll be exchanged for a betrothal gift for her son or grandson..."

"shut up."

"Xu Huaichuan, look at your wife, do you think so too?" Xu Wang raised her hands and slapped Xu Huaichuan hard.

"Siyu is your biological sister, a blood relative! She just has better food and clothes, but what has she done to you? Why are you fighting with her? Are you targeting the six taels of silver the Zhang family paid? That was compensation for the huge loss your sister suffered. What you are fighting for is the division of the family, or your sister's flesh and blood."

"Mom, besides the six taels, what about the money from the public treasury? Can't we divide it?" Xu Huaichuan argued.

"Gongzhong? In Gongzhong, your share has already been spent by you and your son!" Xu Wangshi continued Xu Huaichuan's words and tore his skin off.

"Last year, your Chengyuan cut off the tail of Lao Liu's ox because he wanted to eat meat. He was almost sent to the county government office. It was my mother who threw a tantrum and grabbed a handful of wood ash to stop the bleeding from the ox's tail. She also dragged the ox away and stopped him from leaving. Only then did he calm down.

Do you think that's the end of it?

You didn't see the half tael of silver I stuffed into Old Liu's wife's hand.

Two years ago, Sun had a fight with Hehua's mother and nearly killed her youngest son. That month's medical expenses and brown sugar and eggs were not included in the bill.

And you, not to mention your life since childhood, even now that you've become a father you're already old and have gotten into so much trouble, I won't even mention them all.

The money in the public treasury was earned by the hard-earned money of the Third Brother's family. Your sister didn't spend much of it. The one who really ruined it so much that I dared not promise the Third Brother was you! "

Xu Huaize knew that his second brother's family was ridiculous, but every time something happened, Xu Wangshi would solve it... She was so arrogant, but she never thought that it would be better to spend money to avoid disaster.

From this perspective, Xu Huaichuan is not as good as Xu Siyu. Xu Siyu's income can almost cover her expenses. But Xu Huaichuan's family is still sucking blood.

It was only right to separate the second brother as soon as possible, so he added fuel to the fire: "Second brother, mother touched the hard-earned money of you and your brother, and you squandered the family without saying a word? We are brothers, but you are the elder brother and I am the younger brother. Every elder brother takes care of his younger brother, but is this how you take care of me?"

Heartbroken, Xu Huaize even brought up his sons and said, "And the children. My own children work with us, and my eldest brother's son also works in the fields. Cheng Yuan is the eldest brother, right? What did he do? Does he also need to be supported by his younger brothers like you?"

……

After being exposed and settled with his mother, and also being blamed by his brothers, Xu Huaichuan seemed to have no courage to make a fuss. He slumped on the ground, waiting for the final decision of his family.
