Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard fell into silence.

Everyone looked at Chen Changfan in disbelief, as if they simply couldn't believe that these words had just come from his mouth.

Even Shen Cuiyun was shocked when she heard her husband say the word "separation" so decisively.

I couldn't help but hold my breath.

Separate families.

She had thought of this word countless times in her mind, but she never dared to mention it.

Who would have thought that Chen Erlang, who was usually timid, would actually speak out with such decisiveness.

Looking at the man's somewhat thin back, Shen Cuiyun suddenly felt moved for the first time.

Good riddance! Good riddance!

His parents-in-law were too partial to each other. He and Erlang did all the dirty and tiring work, but the food and supplies were only given to Dalang's family.

So for them, separation is the best outcome.

However, there is an unwritten rule in the Dawu Dynasty that it is extremely unfilial for a son to ask for a division of the family property!

Especially in front of so many neighbors, my in-laws must be furious.

She couldn't imagine what kind of anger Erlang would have to endure next.

"Second brother, you are crazy!"

Before the old couple could recover from their shock, Chen Changqing, who was covering his eyes with one hand and his crotch with the other, cursed first.

"Erlang, why are you splitting up for no reason? We've never treated your family unfairly!"

Zhang sat on the ground as usual, but after squeezing for a long time, there was only thunder but no rain.

The neighbors who came to watch the fun were also talking about it.

"Did I hear correctly? The good-for-nothing second son of the Chen family is actually trying to split up the family?"

"Now there's something to look at. I want to see how many bowls he can take away."

"These old couple are too partial. As an outsider, I can't stand it. It would be better if they split up the family..."

Chen Shuli, who was already upset, listened to the chattering of those talkative neighbors, and his anger rose even more.

Unfilial son! You're slapping me in the face in public!

I've raised him for so many years, and he still has resentment in his heart?

"Erlang, let me ask you again, do you really want to split up the family?"

Chen Shuli's somewhat cloudy eyes widened, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.

The oppressive feeling of the head of the family fell like a physical object, causing everyone present to breathe heavily.

He stretched out his skinny hand, and the eldest wife immediately understood and handed him a new vine.

Under normal circumstances, the usually cowardly Chen Changfan would have been unable to withstand the pressure and would have knelt down and begged for mercy while holding his father's thigh.

As per custom, Chen Shuli would give his son a beating to help him deepen his memory.

"This family must be divided today! I say so!"

Even if Jesus comes, it won’t work!

Chen Changfan added this sentence in his mind.

Hearing this, Zhang was stunned.

Even though she keeps saying that Erlang's family is useless, she actually knows it better than anyone else.

All the household chores, big or small, are taken care of by the second wife. She doesn't have to worry about anything and can even be picky.

If the family splits up, who will she order around in the future?

Instead, the couple in the first house looked at each other and their brows lit up with joy.

The one who was really worried about Chen Changfan was Shen Cuiyun.

But while she was worried about her man being whipped, her eyes were filled with a brilliance that had never appeared before.

This man seems really different from before.

Hearing what his second son said, Chen Shuli's pupils suddenly shrank and his face turned ashen with anger.

He never expected that the son whom he had raised with great difficulty for twenty years would dare to speak to him like this!

I have been mad at him several times today. It seems that the whip in his hand is not strong enough!

Almost subconsciously, he raised the cane in his hand high and hit Chen Changfan hard.

Chen Shuli practically squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "I'll let you split up! I'll let you split up!"

Chen Changfan couldn't help but grimace in pain as the strong rattan whipped his body.

But he just stood there steadily, and no matter how furious Chen Shuli was, his body did not shake at all.

After whipping him dozens of times, Chen Shuli was a little out of breath. He stretched out his skinny fingers tremblingly.

Pointing at Chen Changfan, whose body was covered in bloodstains but whose eyes remained stubborn, he asked in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, do you still want to split up the family?"

Chen Shuli felt that he had already given his incompetent second son a chance.

If he had any resentment in his heart, this beating should have made it disappear.

Now that he asks again, it is giving him a way out.

As long as he admits his mistake, today's incident can be put to rest, and he can be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones.

Even though we have fought and scolded each other, even if there is some resentment and a little imbalance in our hearts, we are still a family.

"point!"

Chen Changfan's decisive answer was too fluent and too firm.

So much so that Chen Shuli didn't even have time to react.

There is not even a chance to salvage the situation.

At this moment, he was completely angry.

This unfilial son slapped him in the face so blatantly, in front of so many neighbors.

"Okay! Then it's up to you! But after the separation, I won't have a son like you anymore!"

In a rage, Chen Shuli couldn't help but say something angrily. Just when he was waiting for the other party to cry and hug his thighs to beg him, he saw a hint of... joy on the other party's face?

"Okay, it's a deal! Let's start dividing the family now!"

Chen Changfan was so excited that he couldn't help but want to rub his hands, but he felt it was a bit inappropriate, so he just suppressed his inner ecstasy and spoke very quickly.

"Wait a moment!"

Dalang's wife found some paper and pen, and said, "Chen Changfan, today, in front of all the neighbors, we must sign a document. From now on, the three of you will sever all ties with us. You will never have any contact with us again. And you will not be able to take a single cent of my father's property!"

She said this decisively, clearly intending to monopolize the elders' property and asked Chen Changfan to write a written document as proof.

Chen Changfan raised his eyes and glanced at the dilapidated house and courtyard, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Alright! Then let's make it a written agreement! But if you, the eldest wife, take all the family property, then you have to provide for our parents until the end of their lives!"

He knew the woman's face very well, so he kindly reminded her, but Zhang answered first:

"Do you need to waste your words? Dalang's family is kind and righteous, so they will naturally treat us well."

Chen Shuli also snorted, "It's written in the agreement: I don't need to be raised while I'm alive, and I don't need to be buried after I die! You and I will never have any contact with each other until we die!"

good good!

They're all pretty amazing, right? I'll satisfy you.

Chen Changfan took up his pen and wrote down those words word for word on the document, then signed and sealed it.

"You unfilial son! You'll regret it sooner or later!"

"When you're too poor to even afford food, don't even think of coming back to beg me for help!"

"Second brother, you are still too young..."

Ignoring the sarcasm of his "family members", Chen Changfan quickly completed the division of the family.

A pot, two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, a torn quilt, and two broken pots and jars were all the belongings of their small family.

Of course, he and Shen Cuiyun drank up all the redtail fish soup and even packed up the fish bones to take away.

He borrowed a cart, stacked the things he got from the family division, covered it with the only tattered quilt, and carefully placed Luoluo on it.

The little fellow found it very novel to sit in the stroller. He clapped his hands and babbled:

"Dad, Mom, come back home!"

Chen Changfan didn't shed tears when he was whipped, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel a soreness in his eyes. He held back his tears and forced out an ugly smile.

"Let's go, Luoluo, let's go home!"

Having said that, he pushed the cart steadily and walked out of the yard without looking back.

Shen Cuiyun trotted after Chen Changfan, already crying like a tearful person.
