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

Upon hearing this, Su Laosan, who had just sat down, immediately jumped up and reluctantly roared:

"No, why? Why should we have to work in the fields? The chores in this house are originally the second son's family's responsibility, why are we being made to work in the fields again now!"

Seeing this, Qin, the wife of the eldest son, frowned reluctantly.

"That's right. Our eldest son is away from home all day long. Now it's just me and Su Tao in the eldest branch of the family. How can we work in the fields? Besides, Su Tao is almost of marriageable age. What will happen if she gets tanned from working in the fields all day?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hanzhang glanced at his wife and two daughters with tears in his eyes. Weren't they women too? Yet they had to spend their days toiling in the fields because of this good-for-nothing of his.

His two daughters were also of marriageable age, and he blamed himself for being incompetent and unable to provide a good life for his wife and children.

Wang Guihua was also filled with grievances. She herself was fine, but she felt sorry for her children. When she turned her head and met Su Hanzhang's tearful eyes, she couldn't help but reach out and squeeze Su Hanzhang's rough hand.

Upon hearing Su Laosan and Qin Shi's words, Granny Liu, who was sitting in the main seat, was immediately enraged.

"Third brother, don't go too far. Your father has to go to work in the fields tomorrow. You're a grown man, how can you be a coward like this!"

After Liu Pozi finished speaking, she looked at Qin Shi.

"Why can't women work in the fields? Our Su family has raised Su Tao for so many years, it's time for her to contribute to the family. Why can the second wife work in the fields every day? Do you, the eldest wife, have more flesh than her?"

Upon hearing this, Su Tao reluctantly rolled her eyes and muttered:

"Hmph, those second wives were born to do chores and serve others!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Su Banxia, ​​however, was not going to tolerate Su Tao. She stood up, walked up to her, and slapped Su Tao across the face.

"This slap was me disciplining you on behalf of your parents!"

Before anyone could react, he slapped Su Tao across the face again.

"This slap is on behalf of the second wife's family, you ungrateful wretch!"

At this moment, Qin, who was sitting next to Su Tao, finally realized what was happening and quickly pulled Su Tao into her arms.

"Su Banxia, ​​what are you doing? No matter what, Su Tao is your sister. Aren't you afraid that you'll never be able to get married if you hit her like this?"

Su Banxia stared at Qin Shi and snorted coldly.

Whether I get married or not is none of your business, you ungrateful mother! Instead of worrying about other people, you should teach your lazy, good-for-nothing daughter a lesson!

As she spoke, Su Banxia swept her gaze across everyone present and said coldly:

"Today, I fully agree with my grandmother's idea of ​​dividing the work of farming and sharing the chores at home. Whoever farms the land will have food to eat next year, and whoever doesn't farm will naturally have nothing to eat."

As she spoke, Su Banxia stood directly next to Granny Liu and looked at everyone.

"Don't blame me for speaking frankly beforehand. When the time comes for your family of parasites to lose the support of our second wife, don't let them starve to death on the streets!"

Su Banxia looked at Wang Guihua and Su Hanzhang, who were holding hands, and said:

"From now on, we, the second branch of the family, will no longer be the ones to complain. We will only manage the land at the foot of Dwarf Mountain, and we will not be responsible for any other work. You can decide what to do with the rest yourselves!"

After saying that, Su Banxia shouted to Wang Guihua and the others:

"Father, Mother, I've made myself clear, let's go!"

Wang Guihua and Su Hanzhang exchanged a glance, then smiled slightly, stood up, and said to Su Shiyan and Su Mo sitting next to them:

"Let's go."

And so, the second wife walked out amidst the astonished gazes of everyone in the Su family.

Seeing this, Su Yunhe stomped her foot angrily.

"Father, Mother, are you going to stop this? Look at Su Banxia's face, she's absolutely lawless!"

Granny Liu sighed.

“Hey, I think Banxia is right today. Since the second branch has already chosen its land, the first and third branches should also choose one. Yunhe and Songchuan are not married yet, so they can stay with your father and farm the land by the river.”

Before anyone could object, Granny Liu turned to Su Laosan and Qin Shi and said:

"There's a piece of land halfway up Dwarf Mountain and another piece of land in Hougou. You two can choose."

Seeing that the die was cast and there was no point in resisting, Qin hurriedly spoke up, remembering that the land in the back ditch was closest to the Su family's house:

“My eldest son is never home. He spends all his time gambling. Now it’s just me and Su Tao at home. Once Su Tao gets married, I’ll be the only one left who can do the work.”

As she spoke, Madam Qin glanced furtively at Madam Lin, then continued:

“We definitely can’t farm this land halfway up the mountain. Why don’t you let us farm the land in the back ditch? That way it’ll be closer to home, and I can take care of it.”

Upon hearing this, Lin immediately turned her head away unwillingly.

"Wow, sister-in-law, you've really got a good plan! You gave us the land that's the hardest to cultivate. How are you so clever!"

Qin Shi became anxious upon hearing this.

"Third sister-in-law, you can't say that. We've divided the land but not the family, so we're still one family in the end. Why are you being so petty? It's just that I'm a woman and I can't farm that land halfway up the mountain."

Lin snorted coldly.

"If you can't plant it, hurry up and call my older brother back. Otherwise, he might find a mistress outside and they'll be living happily ever after, and you, this haggard old woman, won't even know!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu glared at Old Man Su, who was still sweating profusely, then slammed her hand on the table and said to Madam Lin:

"Alright, you should shut your mouth. The boss has only gotten into gambling. Once he has work to do at home, he'll probably tone it down a bit."

As she spoke, Granny Liu sighed.

"In that case, let the third son's family manage the land by the river, and let your father farm the land halfway up Dwarf Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Su immediately became anxious and hurriedly stood up, pointing at Su Laosan and saying:

"Third brother, can you bear to see your father suffer?"

Although Su Laosan was lazy and gluttonous, he still had some filial piety towards Old Man Su and Granny Liu. He was caught in a dilemma and hesitation.

Seeing Old Man Su like this, she immediately softened, ignoring Lin Shi's attempts to push her arm, and stood up to say to Granny Liu:

"Mom, I'll farm that piece of land halfway up Dwarf Mountain!"

Old Lady Liu was deeply moved when she saw that her third son had agreed, so she nodded and said:

"You're the best, Third Brother! Your mother didn't spoil you for nothing!"

Seeing that the mother and son had made up their minds in a back-and-forth, Lin got up angrily and dragged Su Qingsong out. Su Laosan hurriedly chased after them...
