Chapter 963: Chapter 963 Can’t Stand By and Watch You Keep Harming the Children

As soon as Kong Cunlai said this, everyone had different thoughts. Fu Lanhua never expected that her old man would announce this decision without consulting her first, leaving no room for negotiation.

Standing there for a while, she couldn’t utter a word. Wouldn’t she lose all her leverage over her sons and daughters-in-law in the future? Just the thought of not being able to save any money after that made her chest hurt.

"If Big Brother comes to ask for my help again, what will I have to offer?" She lifted her head to look at her husband, "Xiangrui has just married, and you want to divide the household. Do you have an issue with your youngest daughter-in-law, or what? Aren’t you afraid that the neighbors will gossip?"

Kong Cunlai finished his porridge in one gulp, put the bowl down, "This is all your doing; I can’t just stand by and watch you keep harming the kids."

With that, he turned and left.

Fu Lanhua trembled with rage. Now the blame for dividing the household was placed on her. But with her sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters present, she had to maintain appearances. She didn’t want to lose face in front of the neighbors.

Seeing the situation, Kong Xiangrui gestured for Lu Yiting to hurry up with her meal.

The gifts for the homecoming celebration had already been prepared by Kong Xiangrui the day before. Regardless of his mother’s sour expression, he finished eating, pulled Lu Yiting back to his room, grabbed the gifts, and shouted in the yard, "Dad, Mom, we’re leaving."

The distance from the Kong Family to the Lu Family was quite significant; it would take forty to fifty minutes by bike. Considering the uncomfortable atmosphere at home, they felt it was better to leave early.

Kong Cunlai came out of the house, "Take it easy on the road, and give my regards once you arrive."

Kong Xiangrui nodded, "We’re off then."

Lu Yiting had previously suggested leaving with her grandfather, thinking they could catch a ride together. But now she thought better of it. The two of them on a bike would be freer, and they wouldn’t have to answer any more awkward questions about what had happened recently.

As they left the house, they saw Xiao Zhang wiping his car. Lu Yiting called out, "Brother Zhang, please tell Grandpa that we’re running an errand on the way, so we’re leaving first."

Xiao Zhang answered, "Alright."

After they had walked a considerable distance, Kong Xiangrui finally said, "Tingting, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect my mom to make such excessive demands. Rest assured, no matter what, I won’t let her get her hands on your dowry. Once we’re separated, you can just live in the other courtyard."

Lu Yiting looked at Kong Xiangrui, who was full of remorse, "I know, it’s not your fault. Besides, I’ve known your mother as a neighbor for so long; how could I not understand what kind of person she is?

But your uncle really is quite intolerable. He’s old enough to be a grandfather, and he’s still relying on your sister. If one day there’s no one to help him, how is he going to survive?"

Kong Xiangrui sighed, "It’s unlikely my mom will ever change that habit; it’s deeply rooted. That’s why Dad decisively announced the separation today. From now on, Mom will only have Dad’s salary. If she gives it to my uncle, she’ll have to suffer. If it gets too hard, Dad can just eat in the company’s cafeteria."

At the Lu Family, Yipin Base staff had already delivered fresh vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, and a lot of strawberries early in the morning.

Lu Yixuan’s family was already there, preparing early. Lu Yichen had also arranged his work the day before and had come back to the compound with Rong Daniang and his precious twin daughters.

Not long after Lu Yiting arrived, Elder Gu and Gu Qianru also came over. Today’s meal was prepared by Wang Xiaoxin and Rong Daniang with a big table of dishes. Rong Daniang also brought over a lot of beef and spare ribs she had stewed beforehand, as well as fried meatballs – all arranged by Luo Qiao.

While chatting casually, Kong Xiangrui mentioned the separation.

Master Gu slightly frowned but then said, "It’s good that you’re separating. Now that your eldest brother’s children are grown up, it’s not ideal to continue living together like this. After separating, it’ll be perfect for Yiting to live in the house over there, saving her the long commute to and from work."

Lu Xinyi asked with some concern, "Has something happened these past few days?"

Lu Yiting, not wanting Kong Xiangrui to feel uncomfortable, playfully interjected, "Dad, what could possibly happen? I’ve only been married for a few days."
