"Don't worry, our family will take good care of grandma and provide for her until the end of her life..."

Serve you well, take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life.

These eight words successfully made Old Mrs. Zhou on the bed so excited that she jumped up.

She suddenly jumped off the bed, hugged Old Man Zhou's legs tightly, and screamed "Ahhhh".

She won't leave!

We can’t let the second brother’s family take her away!

Thinking of how she had treated the second brother's family in the past, tears streamed down Old Mrs. Zhou's face.

Old man Zhou was startled and almost kicked him, but fortunately he held himself back.

With the old patriarch present, Old Man Zhou and his two sons quickly helped the old lady up, but Old Lady Zhou held on to Old Man Zhou's hand tightly.

"Ah..."

Old man, she wants to stay home!

Zhou Lingling snorted twice, her face full of envy: "It seems that even at their age, grandparents are still so deeply in love and don't want to be separated!"

Old Man Zhou: "..."

Zhou Laoer and Chen: "..."

Sun was afraid that the second son's family would really take her mother-in-law away. Not only would they get nothing, but they would also be left with an old man. So she rolled her eyes and immediately said:

"Yes, Ling girl, your grandparents are old. How can we, the younger generation, bear to see them separated?"

"If you ask me, it's better for Mom and Dad to be together! What do you think, second brother and second sister-in-law?"

Zhou Laoer and Chen looked at each other. Although they didn't know what their daughter was trying to say, they would not expose her.

So the couple said, "What Lingling said actually makes sense..."

Sun was really cursing in her heart!

What the hell makes sense in this?

Is your family stupid?

Have you forgotten how the old lady used to torture you? Zhou Lingling, you were almost killed by this old woman, and you forgot too?

You guys are such a damn filial family!

Old Man Zhou was also afraid that his second son would abandon him at home, so he said, "Second son, your mother and I have had ups and downs together all our lives. I can't abandon her when I get old. I think you shouldn't take your mother away. We should depend on each other for the rest of our lives! We'll live as long as we can..."

"Since your mother is ill, the family will need your help in the future. How about this? Just as you said, I will give your mother a hundred coins every month for medicine. When we divide the family property, our agreement will still stand."

Zhou Laoer: “???”

Do you agree?

One hundred coins a month only adds up to a little over one or two taels of silver a year.

The first and third wives were not happy with this. Seeing that the two aunts were about to make trouble again, Zhou Lingling spoke to Old Man Zhou first and said:

"Grandfather, my father promised to give me this money to buy medicine for my grandmother. Even if the medicine doesn't cost that much, the rest will be used to honor you and my grandmother."

"We'll only give you this money. My father will give you this money as long as you live."

Old man Zhou nodded and said, of course, the money was originally given to them.

Hey!

As expected, in the end, it was the second son who took care of the old couple.

Sun rolled her eyes. "Niece, you sound like you're on guard against someone..."

I only had one or two taels of silver a year, which was not even enough to pay my son's tuition.

"You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you run the household. You're still giving your parents a hundred coins a month. Second uncle, how can you be so shameless?"

A little girl has become the head of the household, and Sun Shi even disdains to talk to Zhou Lingling.

But she obviously forgot the lesson she had just learned.

Then he heard Zhou Laoer say: "My daughter has a point..."

Zhou Lingling sneered at this and said, "Aunt, there's no need to be angry, because there's more to come."

"Today, in front of the old clan leader, I want to sever the relationship between my father and my uncle."

Break off the relationship?

Everyone was shocked.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you damn girl!"

Sun screamed and raised her hand to slap Zhou Lingling, but Chen grabbed her arm.

"Sister-in-law! This is my daughter, not yours. It's not your turn to hit or scold her!"

Chen's tough words successfully silenced Qian, who was about to speak.

Sun's eyes widened: "Do you know what she is talking about? Breaking off the relationship?"

"Is this something a little girl like her can decide?"

Chen also stared at her and answered: "Yes!"

"Lingling can make the decisions about our family's affairs!"

Chen's voice was louder than hers, and the firmness in her tone was unprecedented.

Sun's eyes were red. She suddenly lowered her hands and looked at Zhou Laoer and his wife, muttering, "You two are really crazy..."

You actually want to break up the relationship?

If the relationship is severed, won't they be able to rely on the second son for anything in the future?

The eldest brother, Zhou, who always liked to smooth things over, now had a dangerous look in his eyes: "Second brother, think carefully, without the Zhou family, your family will become a people without a clan and no one to rely on!"

Zhou Lingling smiled and said calmly, "Uncle, you're joking. I'm just severing ties with you, not leaving the clan."

"People like my eldest uncle and third uncle, who don't even care about my own mother's life or death for the sake of profit, won't they exploit the relatives around them whenever they want?"

"Forgive us for being timid. We really don't dare to seek the skin of a tiger. It's better for us to have no contact with each other in the future. We will naturally give the money to our grandparents every month, but we will not have anything to do with our uncles."

When she said this, both the old patriarch and Old Man Zhou understood what she meant.

No wonder she just kept emphasizing that the money was for the old couple, and only for the old couple...

Then, Old Man Zhou's tone suddenly changed.

He said, "Girl Ling is right. The eldest and third children, the second child has already been separated. You have been married for so many years, and in a few years you will all be grandparents."

"Today we are dividing the family property. Although the money is gone, the houses you live in will be given to you. The remaining land will be divided into three parts: one for each of you brothers, and one for me and your mother."

"The eldest son is still studying, and the third son's two sons are also getting married. From now on, you will give us two hundred kilograms of grain every year. The rest is up to you."

Once Old Man Zhou made up his mind, he acted decisively and decided to divide the family business regardless of his son's objections.

What Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao San opposed was not the separation of the family itself, but——

"Dad, what about my second brother's room? Should it be divided among our two sons?" said Zhou Laosan.

Sun also rushed to say: "My Zhou Zhi doesn't even have a study room, so the second room is just right! Dad, our Zhou Zhi is the hope of our family, you can't be so confused!"

"Look at what my sister-in-law said. It's a waste to use such a big house as a study for your Zhou Zhi. He studied for several years and didn't even pass the examination to become a Tongsheng!"

The Qian family can also hurt people's hearts.

The two sisters-in-law started arguing and were about to fight, with the background sound of Old Mrs. Zhou's "Ahhhh".

While Boss Zhou and Third Zhou watched coldly from the side.

Zhou Lingling sneered in her heart. Isn’t this the look on Old Man Zhou’s face when he used to watch Old Lady Zhou go crazy?

Old Mrs. Zhou always took the lead in everything, and she bore all the bad reputation and blame. He gave advice behind the scenes, and in the end came out to act like the head of the family and try to smooth things over.

His two good sons have truly inherited his true teachings...

In the end, Old Man Zhou gave the room to the third wife.

But they promised the eldest wife that after the old couple passed away, this house would be given to them.

Although Zhou Laosan was still dissatisfied, Old Man Zhou was very determined.

"If you make trouble again, I won't give you anything!"

So the two sons and their daughters-in-law calmed down.
