It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Mrs. Wu understood what her granddaughter meant. She didn't want her uncle to interfere in their marriage in the future.

She actually has selfish motives.

The second brother and his wife are gone, leaving only these three children.

She always has to give more consideration to her second son's three children.

Given the eldest brother's temperament, he would not dare to treat his children unfairly, even if it meant wronging them.

But the eldest son is an honest man. If he was cheated by someone outside, or if his daughter-in-law was bewitched by someone outside.

What an unreliable family they found for these three children.

Mrs. Wu felt scared whenever she thought about it.

She is already at this age, and I am afraid she can't take care of her youngest son getting married and having children.

With Ah Zhi's current abilities and knowledge, he will never let his younger brother down in the future.

Mrs. Wu glanced at her eldest son and daughter-in-law, who looked ashamed, then at her granddaughter, whose face was filled with solemnity. She nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll do as you wish!"

"From now on, Ah Zhi and her two siblings will be the only ones who can take care of them. You, as their uncle and aunt, should stop meddling in their affairs!"

When Yang heard her mother-in-law's words about appointing two people, she quickly expressed her opinion that from now on all the household affairs would be left to Azhi to take care of, and she had no complaints at all.

Song Youshan felt a little uncomfortable. He hesitated and wanted to say a few words to explain himself, but when he thought about it, he realized that his family was indeed getting worse and worse in his hands.

He moved his lips but didn't say much.

The issues of dividing money and paying debts were resolved, and I also gained the right to speak in this family.

Song Zhi just felt relaxed.

She turned around and took out another ten strings of money from the box and handed it to Wu. "According to family rules, there are still twenty taels left. Half should be handed over to the government, and the other half I keep for myself!"

This time, Wu refused to accept it and said firmly, "You've already paid twenty taels, which is half of it. How can I ask you to pay half more?"

"Keep this money for yourself!" After saying this, he returned the ten strings of money to his granddaughter.

Yang also knew that it was not right to let her niece bear all the debts alone.

Seeing that she had handed over another ten strings of money, he quickly followed his mother-in-law's words and said, "Mother-in-law is right. I have already asked you to pay twenty taels to repay the debt. It would be too unreasonable to ask you to hand over more money."

"Look, your uncle is so ashamed that he can hardly lift his head. I think we should just do as mother wishes!"

Song Zhi glanced over and saw that her uncle was silent.

The purpose of her doing this was not to break the rules of the family.

She didn't mind the money being too much, and since she saw that her aunt had no objection, she happily accepted the money and said with a smile, "Then I'll keep the money. I'll take care of tomorrow's banquet!"

She looked at the little ones again and said, "Whatever delicious food you guys want to eat, tell me quickly and I'll prepare it for you!"

The children immediately became excited, "Sister, I want to eat fried dough sticks."

"Sister, I want to eat meat buns, and I also want to eat barbecued meat skewers!"

The children, who had rarely eaten delicious food, listed all the delicious food they could think of.

After hearing this, Song Zhi waved her hand and said, "Buy it!"

The children were shouting, laughing, and jumping around happily. In the whole hall, except for Song Youshan who was pretending to be worried, everyone else was laughing.

That night, Song Youshan was preoccupied with things and tossed and turned for most of the night and couldn't fall asleep.

Yang was awakened by her husband's tossing and turning like a pancake. She said drowsily, "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? What's wrong?"

"You sleep. I slept too much during the day and now I can't sleep!"

Yang muttered, "I think you are destined to work hard!" After that, she turned over and fell asleep.

Song Youshan waited for his wife to start snoring again. He couldn't fall asleep, so he simply gave up. He sat up, took advantage of the moonlight shining in through the window, put on his shoes, and walked out of the bedroom.

What happened today made Song Youshan doubt himself.

In the past, he did not have the ability to raise these three children, and the family's foreign debts had to be repaid by Azhi.

Now that Azhi can make money for the family, should he just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor with a clear conscience?

He saw that Ah Zhi was going to pay the money to Gongzhong today.

Ten strings of cash, that was more money than he could earn in a year!

Now the family still has a pastry shop business. In the future, half of the money that Ah Zhi earns from making pastries will be handed over to the government!

He already feels guilty towards his second brother and his wife!

How can I still take advantage of three children?

After much thought, he found that the only way out was to divide the family. That way, no matter how much money his niece earned in the future, it would all be theirs and would not have to be shared with the public.

But he doesn't want to split up the family, so how can he propose splitting up the family?

It is his responsibility to support the whole family, how can he share the burden with the three little ones!

Song Youshan was extremely conflicted and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

I might as well get up and go to the yard to feel the cool breeze and clear my mind.

The doors and windows of the Song family's house were very old. Song Youshan pulled the bolt on the door of the main hall.

A "creaking" sound was particularly clear in the silent night sky.

Wu, who was already shallow in hearing, called out, "Who!"
