Chapter 47

Bai Hongbing had no choice but to step forward to stop them, repeatedly saying, "Okay, okay, I'll go talk to my parents, okay? Don't hurt yourself or the child."

Huang Xia was finally satisfied and grumbled, "That's more like it. Remember, you can't just ask for food, you also have to ask for that piece of land and cash!"

"Mom and Dad! It's time for dinner!" Gou Nao's voice came from outside.

Huang Xia pushed Bai Hongbing and said, "You go ahead. I'm not feeling well. Ask Gounuo to bring me food."

Bai Hongbing nodded and went out.

My parents, younger sister and Gou Nao were already seated at the table and were about to start eating when Bai Hongbing finally arrived.

Huang Xia didn't come out to eat.

Bai Hongbing instructed: "Gou Nao, go and take food to your mother."

Gou Nao obediently filled a bowl of stir-fried cabbage and took two steamed buns, then went to the west wing.

Now, only Bai Maozhong and Chu Xianglan and the siblings Bai Hongbing and Bai Ying were left at the dinner table. The four of them had temporarily lost interest in eating.

"Mom and Dad, little sister..." Bai Hongbing wanted to say something but stopped, his honest face flushed red.

Bai Maozhong put down his chopsticks and said, "Boss, just say whatever you want to say. We are family and we should keep our differences."

"I-We want to separate."

"What? I don't agree!" Chu Xianglan stood up suddenly. She was so angry that she was about to die. She hadn't even settled the score with Huang Xia yet, and Huang Xia actually dared to instigate her son to split the family business?

"Don't be angry, mother. Let me think about it."

Bai Maozhong was much calmer.

When he got home from work, he had already learned from Chu Xianglan what happened to Bai Ying today. His daughter was almost hurt by Huang Xia's cousin. Of course he was angry. If it were someone else, he would have beaten her up too.

It’s just that Huang Xia is the eldest son’s wife, and now she is pregnant, so it’s not easy for him as a father-in-law to interfere. But he can’t swallow this anger. Instead of letting Huang Xia continue to stay in this house and get in their way, it’s better to let the eldest son’s family go out and start their own business!

Bai Maozhong took out the old pipe he carried with him, lit it and took a few puffs. His eyes could not be seen in the smoke, only a quiet voice could be heard.

"Okay, since you want to split up, then let's do it. From now on, you two will spend your work points on your own, and you'll have to cook your own meals. Now is not the time to distribute the autumn grain, so I'll take 300 kilograms of grain from the public treasury to tide you over until the autumn harvest in six months. The grain isn't much, it's barely enough for the two of you adults, so Gou Nao will stay with us, and live with me and your mother."

Bai Hongbing looked embarrassed.

The amount of food allocated to him and Huang Xia was not much, and if they did not go to the brigade to buy on credit, it would be difficult for them to last until the autumn harvest half a year later.

He remembered that Huang Xia had asked him to ask for something else, but looking at his father's face, which was full of wrinkles from years of wind and sun, he felt a little embarrassed to ask.

Bai Maozhong noticed Bai Hongbing's abnormality and took the initiative to say, "Big brother, don't think it's too little. You know the situation at home. The third brother works in the county and eats commercial grain, so he doesn't consume much of the family's food. The key is that your second brother is always running around, and the work points he earns are not enough for his own food. The family really can't spare that much food for you."

Chu Xianglan knew Huang Xia, her daughter-in-law, very well, and asked, "Hongbing, what's wrong? Does your wife have any other requests?"

Bai Hongbing nodded and said with great embarrassment: "Mom and Dad...don't we have a piece of residential land at the west end of the river? Can you build a house for us? Otherwise, we will have nowhere to live if we leave home.

Chu Xianglan rolled her eyes in anger. "Give it to me, give it to me! From now on, I'll pretend I never gave birth to you! Don't even think about getting a share of the house!"

Bai Hongbing felt even more ashamed. "Mom, there's money for building a house. We don't have any money at all right now. Can you give us some more..."

Bai Maozhong was so angry that he couldn't sit still anymore. His pipe banged against the dining table. "You've already made your own plan. What else can your mother and I say? You don't have to go to work these days. Hurry up and find some help to build the house. As soon as the house is finished, move out with Huang Xia immediately. Don't stay here and make us angry!"
