“Meng Dani, you’re rebelling! I’m your mother-in-law. I’m going to make the Lu family divorce you. Someone like you…”

"Snapped."

"You little rascal..."

"Snapped."

If Jia cursed her, Meng Tong would slap her, and she wouldn't even have the ability to fight back.

As for her two daughters, they were so intimidated by Meng Tong's imposing aura that they didn't dare utter a single word.

The mother and son, surnamed Liu, huddled obediently in the corner and watched. With each slap from Jia, their faces paled a little more.

Such a powerful and intimidating presence was almost soul-stirring; even Jumong was so frightened that he shrank into Liu's arms, too afraid to look.

Inside the house, Old Man Lu began to break out in a cold sweat. He couldn't guarantee that Meng Dani wouldn't come in and beat him.

They're all crazy, especially the third wife's family.

Meng Tong stopped after slapping Jia Shi ten times. She squatted down and looked at Jia Shi, who dared not utter a word, a wicked smile playing on her lips. "So? Did you like the gift your daughter-in-law gave you?"

"Hi, I like it."

Jia was completely convinced; she didn't even dare to look up at Meng Tong.

He's a complete madman.

Meng Tong raised his hand and gently patted Jia's face. A murderous glint flashed in Meng Tong's eyes, but he ultimately restrained himself.

Although she acted despicably, her crime did not warrant death. Meng Tong was not a heartless killing machine.

Standing up, Meng Tong lightly patted the wrinkles off her clothes and looked at the group of people squatting in the corner.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I will never object to being your slave from now on."

"I'm sorry, it's all our fault."

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's our fault, he wasn't..."

The three apologized and begged in unison, and Zhu Meng, who was nestled in Liu's arms, also kowtowed to Meng Tong, a rare occurrence for him.

Ha, fists really do work.

……

"Wife, have some water."

Lu Chuan, who had returned to the room sometime earlier to bring Meng Tong a glass of water, suddenly came over. There was no fear in his eyes, only excitement.

Indeed, madmen and fools are a perfect match.

Taking the water glass from Lu Chuan, Meng Tong took two sips. He had to admit that hitting people was indeed tiring.

Sitting down on the stool Lu Chuan had brought, Meng Tong looked into the closed main room.

Lu Chuan understood, got up and walked towards the main room, then kicked the door down.

Old Man Lu and Lu Feng, who were huddled by the table, trembled in fright, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Lu Chuan.

The third brother is no longer the same third brother.

Old Man Lu and Lu Feng came out of the house. Looking at the disheveled Jia Shi on the ground and Liu Shi and others huddled in the corner, Old Man Lu's eyes flashed with anger.

They're all useless stuff.

In the second room, Lu Qian, who was lying asleep on the bed, was pulled up by Madam He.

Her eyes darted around, and she leaned close to Lu Qian's ear and whispered, "What are they saying in the yard? Should we go out?"

"Going out to die? Stay put..."

"Second brother, isn't second sister-in-law going to come out? It wouldn't be good if she didn't come out to discuss the division of the family property!"

Meng Tong's nonchalant voice came from outside the door.

Inside the house, Madam He stared wide-eyed at Lu Qian, "Dividing the family property? Meng Dani wants to divide the family property."

A look of surprise flashed across Lu Qian's triangular eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go out and see what kind of trouble she's up to."

"Row."

Following behind Lu Qian, the second branch of the family also came out of the house.

Now, apart from the children, the entire Lu family had gathered in the yard.

Meng Tong turned to look at Lu Feng, who was squatting on the ground, and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you to ask the village chief to come and be a witness for us."

"I..." Lu Feng was about to say he wouldn't go, but after glancing at Meng Tong's eyes, he changed the subject and said, "Since we're going to split the family, there must be more than just the village chief as a witness."

"Then who else, brother, would you like to invite?"

Meng Tong always wore a smile, but that smile still frightened Lu Feng.

He glanced at Old Man Lu beside him, and finally mustered up the courage to look at Meng Tong and say, "We should at least have a few respected people from the village come."

That way, he can go find families who have a friendly relationship with the Lu family, and then the third branch of the family won't be able to get anything.

They also need to be kicked out of the Lu family.

The more Lu Feng thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He lost his earlier anger and went out of the courtyard to find someone.

……

Within fifteen minutes, several people had arrived in the courtyard.

Besides village chief Liu Dazhi, there were his sons Liu Ming and Liu Jia. Meng Tong didn't recognize the other three, but judging from their warm interactions with Lu Feng, he could guess what Lu Feng was thinking.

Meng Tong was too lazy to argue. Right now, she just wanted to separate from the family or sever ties with relatives. She didn't want the Lu family to return after fleeing the famine, as she would have nowhere to settle them.

It's better to end it sooner rather than later.

"Village chief, you have to stand up for the Lu family!"

Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him, and the handprint on his face, Liu Dazhi glanced at Meng Tong and asked, "Who are you?"

"I...I am Jia, the new wife of Old Man Lu. Village Chief, you must do justice for me..." Jia perked up at this moment and whispered in Liu Dazhi's ear, recounting all of Meng Tong's crimes one by one.

The three families who followed Lu Feng in looked at Meng Tong with hostility after hearing what Jia Shi said. One of the younger men even directly cursed Meng Tong for disrespecting her mother-in-law and for disharmony between her and her sisters-in-law.

Meng Tong ignored him, but Lu Chuan cared a lot and went up to punch the man before he behaved.

He's an idiot anyway, why bother arguing with him?

"Village chief, look..."

"Shut up." Liu Dazhi glared at the man who had just spoken. "It's none of your business to meddle in other people's family affairs."

"I……"

The man was furious, but dared not confront Lu Chuan because his gaze was too terrifying.

Lu Feng didn't expect Lu Chuan to come up and hit him. He looked at Lu Chuan with anger on his face, but he didn't dare to move because of the violent aura emanating from Lu Chuan.

They swallowed their anger and kept quiet.

Here, Meng Tong told the village chief about her idea of ​​separating the family.

With the consent of Old Man Lu, Lu Feng, and Lu Qian, the division of the family property is now a done deal.

The next step was to distribute the land and assets.

The Lu family had no objections regarding paddy fields and dry land; if they did, it was Jia Shi, whose opinions were completely ineffective.

The most important things were distributing the grain and the money.

The village chief had his two sons move all of the Lu family's grain out and put it in the yard, then asked, "What happened to your family's money...?"

“The money is all gone, it was all spent by Meng Dani.” Lu Qian suddenly spoke up, and he looked at the village chief and said, “We worked hard to save twenty taels, and she spent it all. The third branch of the family has no share of the grain.”

“That’s right, the Third Household doesn’t get a share of this grain,” Lu Feng continued. “The Third Household eats the most at every meal and spends all their savings, so you can’t give this grain to them, Village Chief.”

"Good heavens, I've spent all my savings of twenty taels! What a spendthrift!"

"That's right, the village chief shouldn't share this grain with them."

The helpers Lu Feng had called started to interrupt, and Lu Chuan's gaze toward them grew colder and colder, his voice grew softer and softer, until he finally became mute again.

Liu Dazhi looked at Meng Tong and asked, "You really used twenty taels?"

"I used it," Meng Tong replied frankly, "but the family's savings are more than twenty taels."
