Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Besides, apologizing is better than kneeling in the ancestral hall, Lian signaled Fu Qiuyue with her eyes.

Seeing that no one spoke to her, Fu Qiuyue's mother gestured to her, and she knew that she would not be able to get through the day without an apology, so she had to move hesitantly towards Fu Erlang and his wife.

She bowed reluctantly and said, "Uncle and Aunt, I was wrong today. I shouldn't have been disrespectful to you. Please forgive me this time."

Fu Erlang and Yue knew in their hearts that their niece's apology was not sincere, but Old Man Fu was already angry, and it would be unreasonable for them to hold on to it.

The two nodded, and Yue raised her hand to ask her to get up, but she refused to say anything more after that.

Fu Qiuyue felt unhappy when she saw this, but she didn't dare to get angry again.

Old Master Fu sighed inwardly, asked everyone else to leave, and only called Fu Erlang to the study to talk.

Fu asked Hu to divide the things she brought, and specifically pointed out that they should be divided equally, meaning that the first and second wives would get the same amount of things.

Although Mrs. Hu and the first wife were not happy, they were tired of today's events, so they just let it go.

Anyway, Fu is Hu's biological daughter, and she doesn't need her biological mother's respect. So let's give the old man some face today.

Fu Jinhuai witnessed the whole process of Fu Qiuyue's disrespect to his mother, and he accumulated a lot of anger in his heart. He clenched his fists and vowed to study hard and make a name for himself so that his mother would no longer suffer from the first wife's bullying.

After hearing his father talk about dividing the family today, Fu Jinhuai was also tempted. He is now studying under a famous teacher, but Fu Jinheng from the first wife is always disturbing him for various reasons, using inferior means.

He had long been fed up with it, but Fu Jinheng always used the method of asking for advice to learn, and he could not refuse. His grandfather also often said that brothers could learn from each other and make progress, but what was there for Fu Jinheng to learn?

He caused chaos in the school and was said to have often skipped classes to go out and have fun with his classmates. It was simply because he was jealous that he had a famous teacher and couldn't stand the fact that the second branch of the family had a scholar.

Does it mean that his aunt doesn't love him and doesn't want him to study under a famous teacher? They are aunt and nephew.

The truth was that they went to be tested by their mentor together, but Fu Jinheng did not live up to the expectations. Not only could he not recite the article, he couldn't even explain its meaning. That's why the mentor did not choose him.

Grandfather and family members probably didn't know about Fu Jinheng's situation in school. They thought that their eldest grandson was studying hard, going out early and coming back late.

My aunt and the others thought that their teacher did not accept Fu Jinheng because he was the one behind the incident, so they said a lot of unpleasant things in a sarcastic tone.

My grandfather protected them and prevented them from targeting me again, but even so, my grandmother withheld their share of the family's income in both open and covert ways.

However, even his own pens, ink, paper and inkstone were defective products, and it was his mother who subsidized him with her own private money.

It would be great if she could separate from the family. My aunt would let my father and mother help her manage the farm so that she could earn some money. She would also study harder and strive to pass the imperial examinations as soon as possible so that her parents would no longer suffer the humiliation they suffered today.

Fu Jinhuai and his mother went back to their room first, looking at his father and grandfather's backs as they left with anticipation. He hoped that his father could persuade his grandfather to separate them.

Fu Erlang didn't know what his father wanted to say to him, so he carefully helped his father walk towards the study.

Seeing that his father's hair had turned white and his back was slightly hunched, Fu Erlang felt a lump in his throat and held his father's arm even tighter.

His father had always loved him, but because of his stepmother's and eldest brother's status, he couldn't show too much concern for him.

After entering the study, Mr. Fu sat down, sighed deeply, and looked at Fu Erlang.

"Erlang, you and your mother have suffered a lot over the years." The mother here refers to Fu Erlang's aunt. In public, Fu Erlang still has to call his biological mother "aunt".

"Dad, I...I don't care about myself, I just don't want Mom and my wife and children to suffer any injustice. Today, Qiuyue, a junior, can be rude to us. I don't know what other people in the family will think of us." Fu Erlang choked up as he spoke.

Old Master Fu paused for a moment, then he understood. A tall tree has many branches, and Erlang was badly injured after all.

"Do you really want to split the family? Even if I give you some assets after the split, it won't be much. After all, your eldest brother is the eldest son."

"Dad is not restraining you and not wanting you to share the money, but Huai'er still needs to study. Without the public school to help you, how long will it take for you to pay it back on your own?"

"Besides, Huai'er is very promising and has a famous teacher. His future expenses will be huge. Be obedient and wait until Huai'er finishes his studies and takes the imperial examinations before making any decisions. Dad will also talk to your eldest brother and the others."
