I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

The banana sighed helplessly.

"That's why I was so eager to talk to you about this. I just mentioned separating the family property to your mother again, but from her tone, it seems she doesn't want to separate from us. Perhaps my words as her daughter-in-law don't carry enough weight. Why don't you, as her son, try it yourself?"

As he spoke, Banana nudged Tomato with his elbow.

Tomato looked a little timid and shook its head helplessly.

“At least my mother loves me and my fourth brother the most. If I go to my mother to talk about dividing the family property now, she might get even angrier. Since you've already talked about it in front of my mother, I might as well just put all the blame on you. I'll go talk to my mother and tell her that you've gone too far. If we don't divide the family property, you'll divorce me and go back to your parents' home.”

Banana hesitated after hearing Tomato's words. After all, the last time she went back to her parents' home, Granny Liu was very stubborn. She had said that she wanted to divorce Tomato, but Granny Liu didn't take it seriously.

Banana felt a little scared when she thought about how Granny Liu had fought with her own family that day.

Banana, having known Liu Pozi for so many years, naturally understood what kind of person she was. So, if Tomato were to use the issue of divorce to blackmail Liu Pozi, she probably wouldn't give in.

Banana gritted her teeth and said:

"This method probably won't work. Just tell me you're also thinking about separating the family, and see what your mother says first. Or maybe I should go with you!"

As she spoke, Banana grabbed Tomato, who was sitting on the stool, and pulled her outside.

Seeing this, Tomato had no choice but to let Banana pull him along. The two arrived at Granny Liu's door and began to knock.

"Mother, open the door, I have something to tell you."

Tomato spoke first, saying that Granny Liu, who had already lain down, had to get up and put on her clothes again, muttering curses as she did so:

"You little brat, you never let me have a moment's peace. I've only just lain down for a little while and you're already causing trouble again. Can't we wait until tomorrow to talk about it?"

Although she was grumbling and cursing, Granny Liu still got out of bed and opened the door for Tomato.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Tomato and his wife standing there looking dejected, so I couldn't help but frown and say:

What are you all doing looking like that?

Tomato glanced at Granny Liu, then looked back at the banana, and then stammered, "..."

"You said you have something you'd like to discuss with me. Let's go inside and talk."

Granny Liu frowned, looked at the two of them, and then sighed.

"Oh, you guys are my living ancestors, come in and talk."

As she spoke, Granny Liu stepped aside to let the two into the house, not forgetting to glare at Banana. After the three sat down, Granny Liu looked at Tomato and said:

"Just say what's on your mind, don't keep me from sleeping."

Tomato glanced timidly at Granny Liu, then lowered her head and muttered softly:

"Mother, I've come today to talk to you about dividing the family property."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu's eyes widened in surprise.

"What? How could I have given birth to such an unfilial son, who actually wants to separate from me? Why don't you just let me die? Would you be relieved if I died sooner?"

As she spoke, Granny Liu began to wail and cry.

“My life is already so difficult, and my beloved third son wants to separate from me. What sins have I committed to deserve this treatment from my own son?”

Banana pouted when she saw Granny Liu crying, inwardly cursing Granny Liu for being so unreasonable. She had been happy when the second branch of the family wanted to separate from her, but now that she wanted to separate from her, Granny Liu was unhappy.

When Tomato saw Granny Liu crying, he immediately panicked.

"Mother, Mother, don't cry. I'm just discussing this with you. Don't start crying all the time! People who don't know better will think something terrible has happened to our family."

Just as Granny Liu was crying her heart out, Old Man Su came in from outside.

"Oh dear, oh dear, what's wrong now? Why are you crying and wailing? You never have a peaceful day!"

Old Man Su turned to look at Su Congxian.

"What have you done to offend your mother this time?"

Tomato frowned and sighed helplessly.

"I was thinking of talking to my mother about dividing the family property, but I didn't expect her to cry like this as soon as I mentioned it."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Su sighed heavily, walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), sat down, took out his pipe, and took a deep drag.

"I don't know what to say anymore. The family is no longer a family. You can do whatever you want with it. Take it or leave it!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu abruptly turned to face Old Man Su.

"What are you saying? Do you know how hard it was for me to keep this family together all this time? You think you can just abandon us because of one sentence?"

As Granny Liu grew angrier, she stepped forward and slapped Old Man Su on the back.

“You think you can just stop living together like that? When have you ever cared about our whole family? I’ve been the one to worry about and handle everything. Take the weddings of our children, for example. I’ve been busy with each one of them. All you do is drag me down.”

When Old Man Su saw Granny Liu suddenly yell at him, he also got angry, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), pointed at Granny Liu's nose, and started cursing.

"You old hag, don't always push your luck. Don't I have to listen to you in everything in our family? Do I have the final say? If I did, I would never have agreed to let our fourth son go on a blind date with that rich man Li's eldest daughter. Don't you know what kind of family we are? You're just trying to curry favor with him. You may want to, but I don't! From now on, you don't need to discuss our family matters with me anymore. I'm not going to interfere anymore, and I can't interfere anyway!"

Having said that, Old Man Su didn't give Granny Liu a chance to retort, and turned around and rushed out.

Tomato hadn't expected things to escalate like this. She had only intended to mention the division of the family property to Granny Liu, but unexpectedly, she had inexplicably provoked Granny Liu and Old Man Su to start fighting. Now, feeling embarrassed to bring up the matter of dividing the family property again, she got up and started to pull Banana outside.

But Banana seemed to have gone mad for some reason, completely oblivious to what was happening. No matter how Tomato tried to pull her away, she wouldn't budge. Instead, it was Granny Liu who spoke up.

“Mother, even if you’re going to make a scene today, let’s get things straight first. Tomato just mentioned the family division. I bet we’ll be dealing with Su Mo’s wedding one minute and Su Songchuan’s wedding the next. Even if we have some money, it probably won’t be enough to keep us busy.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu finally understood what Xiangjiao was planning, and immediately glared at her angrily, saying:

"Good, good, so that's why you're already thinking about dividing the family property even before I'm dead. Turns out you're after this little bit of money I have."
