Farming and reading family

She didn't dare to really agree with her sister-in-law's words.

"Yu Ning is my eldest niece, how could I not care about her?" Gao E smiled and let the matter go.

However, Yang was a stubborn person and kept thinking about this matter.

At this time, Lei came in and saw the two sisters-in-law supporting each other, wondering what they were doing?

"What's wrong?" Gao E saw Lei come in.

"My eldest brother told us to all go down." Lei knew that her eldest brother was going to talk to my parents about dividing the family property.

Gao E glanced at Yang.

Yang raised her sleeve and wiped the corner of her eyes: "I'll ask the second girl to wash the dishes, let's go downstairs."

He told Chen Hanyue to wash the dishes. The rest of the children did not follow, only the three brothers and their three wives went downstairs.

The Chen family's house was very deserted. In the past, at this time of year, the voices of adults and children would constantly fill each room, but now it was only the two old people. Jiang didn't boil any medicine, and she didn't even cook dinner.

Ever since the eldest son ran away with the eldest granddaughter, Chen Fansheng hasn't said a word. He has had a smooth life, so why does he have so many problems now that he's old?

Jiang sat on the threshold with her head tilted against the door frame, looking expressionless, as if she couldn't feel the passage of time.

There was a noise at the door, and Jiang sat up straight, looking at the door eagerly.

The eldest brother and his wife came in first, followed by the second and third brothers. The Chen family finally had some popularity.

"You're back?" Jiang stood up hurriedly. "Where's the child? How is the child?"

When she saw that there was no child behind her, her heart immediately began to tighten again.

"I'm playing at my second brother's house." The eldest brother said dully, "Yu Ning will stay at my second brother's house first. Anyway, we are working upstairs recently, so it's good to have someone to look after her."

Jiang stammered and couldn't utter a word.

"Where's Dad?" Chen Qing broke the silence first.

"Inside the house." Jiang finally reacted and took them into the main room.

There was a bean-sized oil lamp in the main room. The light from the lamp that they lit when they came in was flickering, as if it was about to jump away.

"Are you back?" Chen Fansheng asked dully, seeming angry.

"Yeah." Chen Qing's words turned into a "hmm" on the tip of his tongue.

He is the eldest son in the family, the most capable, and the one who listens to his father the most. He knows that his father doesn't like what he wants to say.

"Your mother was wrong about Yu Ning's matter." Chen Fansheng's voice was soft and slow, but every word was weighty.

Gao E couldn't help but turn her head slightly to look at her father-in-law under the dim light. At this time, her taciturn father-in-law seemed not to be a rustic farmer, but a wise man who was good at strategizing.

"I understand you're angry." Chen Fansheng looked up at his eldest son. "So what are you going to do?"

Gao E felt that these words and this scene must have been repeated in the old man's mind thousands of times, which is why he was so calm.

So this old man does nothing every day. After dinner, he just finds a place to sit. What is he thinking about?

Did he imagine that his good son had passed the imperial examination, and the government came to announce the good news, with gongs and firecrackers blasting along the way, while he himself changed into silk clothes, sparkling with brilliance...

Have you ever imagined that he was in a wealthy family, surrounded by distinguished guests, and they all praised him highly...

……

The world opened a corner to him, and he thought he could own the whole world, so he thought so in his heart.

"I..." Chen Qing's heart was set, "I want to split up!"

He hesitated for a moment, then said these three words decisively.

When Chen Ke and Chen Jie heard these three words, they felt inexplicably relieved.

They didn't want the family to break up, but were happy for their eldest brother.

With a bang, Chen Fansheng slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"What?" Jiang screamed. "Dividing the family? Aren't you trying to kill my parents?"

Lei rolled her eyes when she heard this. She knew that the old couple would not separate easily.

"I don't want anything from the division of the family property." Chen Qing said hurriedly.

Yang looked at Chen Qing in astonishment. If he didn't want anything, how would his family survive?

Jiang stood behind Chen Fansheng anxiously, believing that this family could not be divided no matter what.

"Boss, I know you are angry, but let's be clear. Your mother beat Yuning. I am in charge now and let you beat her back." Chen Fansheng said without even looking at Jiang.

Jiang was stunned for a moment, then rushed to Chen Qing: "My mother is wrong. She shouldn't hit the eldest girl. As long as you can vent your anger, then hit her."

"Mother is also worried about that bottle of medicine. Your second brother needs money for his studies, and the eldest girl needs money for medical treatment. The Song family is so fickle. How can we live like this day by day?"

"I really didn't hit him hard. I really didn't mean it..."

Jiang cried and was about to pull Chen Qing's hand to hit herself.

"Mom—" Chen Qing broke free from his mother's hand.

How could he possibly hit his own mother? It would be better for him to die.

Gao E and Lei were stunned: Is this possible?

Gao E knew that the old couple would definitely not separate, but she wanted to cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide, which would take a long time. She didn't expect her father-in-law to be so bold.

"Hit me, as long as you don't split up the family, you can kill my mother to pay for the eldest girl's life." Jiang grabbed Chen Qing's hand tightly and didn't let go.

Gao E finally saw it.

I originally thought her father-in-law was heartless, but when I saw her mother-in-law like this, I realized what it meant that people from the same family are not allowed to enter the same house.

Maybe in her mother-in-law's eyes, her father-in-law is very powerful.

"Mom!" Chen Qing shook off his mother's hand heavily, causing her to stagger and fall. He subconsciously wanted to support her.

"Mom, aren't you going to force my brother to death?" Gao E said suddenly.

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her.

"You have no right to speak about our Chen family's affairs." Chen Fansheng glanced at Gao E.

Chen Ke raised his hand to protect Gao E, signaling her not to be angry.

"We are going to be buried in the Chen family's ancestral tomb." Lei muttered softly.

Chen Jie hurriedly tugged at his wife's sleeve, signaling her not to speak.

"Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run." Gao E had no intention of shutting up. "Brother, you did this only for your own child. If your child was nearly beaten to death, would you still live under the same roof with He Lele and the person who beat her?"

Jiang looked at Gao E, very angry, very nervous, and panicked...

"It's not as serious as you say. It's just the elders teaching the younger ones..." Chen Fansheng didn't get angry when he heard Gao E citing examples to make his case.

"Then why do elders have to teach younger ones?" Gao E thought this statement was unreasonable. "Does it mean that as long as they are elders, they can do whatever they want? Then what is the point of laws in this world?"

"You..." Chen Fansheng was angry, then looked at Chen Ke and said, "Take care of your wife."

Chen Ke was also helpless: "What Gao said makes some sense."

Gao E felt relieved when she heard Chen Ke say this, otherwise the two of them would have quarreled again.

"Second brother, think carefully. Your mother and I are old, and we don't have much at home. If we divide the family, we will have no brothers to help us." Chen Fansheng said threateningly.
