Chapter 565: Chapter 563: Division of the Family

Wang Yongfu felt the injustice was as big as the sky, where did this all start from?

Wang Yonggui lost his patience, "Dad, you made such a fuss about eldest sister that the house is in this state. I really think mom and younger sister’s concerns are justified. If you bring eldest sister back home, won’t you treat her like a goddess? Isn’t it just the eldest sister who is your child, and we brothers and younger sister are picked up or something?"

"Why can’t we live peacefully? It always has to turn into a mess of flying chickens and jumping dogs! Whoever loves going to the Sun Family can go, but I’m not going!" With that, he was about to walk away.

He ran into Wang Yongping, who was returning, and Jindou, who had used the excuse of diarrhea to sneak out, and was dragged back in.

Wang Yongping was still unaware and felt the atmosphere was odd, "What’s going on with you all? Isn’t it just about going to the Sun Family? What’s there to be afraid of? Our whole family will go, and how can we not bring the person back?"

Wang Yonggui snorted coldly, "Bring back who? Our home is about to fall apart even before the person is brought back. Once she is back, I’m afraid we will all be driven out!"

Wang Yongping was stunned by Wang Yonggui’s words and looked towards his wife, Liu Xiaoqiao.

Liu Xiaoqiao explained the situation in just a few words.

Wang Yongping knew his mind wasn’t as sharp as everyone else’s, but he had one advantage: he was obedient.

He used to listen to his younger sister, but now he listened to his wife.

His wife said to listen to the younger sister, so he would still listen to the younger sister!

"What did the younger sister say? Are we still going?" Wang Yongping looked around the room but didn’t see his younger sister.

"We are going. But Brother Song has been persuading mom and me for a long time. We have thought it through as well – ’Divorse’ really doesn’t sound good when talked about outside. However, mom’s heart is deeply hurt by dad, and she just wants to split off on her own. Once we deal with the Sun Family’s business, we will come back and divide the household! Mom and I can split off on our own!"

"What?"

"No way! We cannot divide the family!" Now, everyone voiced their opposition simultaneously.

The good days had just begun, how could they split the family?

If you listen to Wang Yonggui, they shouldn’t bother with eldest sister’s troubles. This whole ruckus has led to either ’Divorse’ or splitting the household.

"Choose one between ’Divorse’ and splitting the household! Choose well, and then we’ll go to eldest sister’s place." Wang Yongzhu didn’t waste any words, throwing out the final ultimatum directly.

Everyone remained silent, just looking at Wang Laozhu.

Wang Laozhu gritted his teeth. He could accept the division of the family. It could also be justified as the tree grows and splits its branches, and Laosi had also gotten married—it was indeed a good time to divide the family.

Although deep down, he didn’t want to split the family, compared to his eldest daughter’s life, then let it be!

"Divide the family! We will do as this unfilial daughter wishes, and after the new year, we will divide the family!" Wang Laozhu violently threw out this statement.

"Dad!" Wang Yongfu’s three sons looked at Wang Laozhu in surprise, feeling a chill in their hearts.

No matter how much they made trouble in the past, Wang Laozhu had never agreed to divide the family. Now, for the sake of his eldest daughter, he had agreed to everything.

Wang Laozhu waved his hand, "Otherwise, what? Are we really going to watch your eldest sister die?" He said angrily, looking at Wang Yongzhu. This matter was clearly a small issue. It was all because of this disobedient, unfilial daughter’s obstruction that things had come to this point.

Wang Yongzhu acted as if she hadn’t seen anything, "Alright, then it’s settled. Now, let’s get ready and go to the Sun Family!"

Wang Yongfu’s three brothers had so much to say but didn’t know where to start.

But then, the division of the family was something said to take place after the new year. Once they resolve the Sun Family’s issue, can they come back and persuade them properly?

If it really doesn’t work out, when dividing the family, they must stick with their mother and younger sister.

Hearing Wang Yongzhu’s instructions, everyone suppressed their thoughts and followed behind her and Song Chongjin.

When they reached the front yard, Sun Mutou, hearing the commotion, hurriedly dropped his bowl and chopsticks and ran out, looking pitifully at the crowd.

Wang Yongzhu nodded at him, "We’ll be at your house to pick up your mother shortly."

She turned back and said, "Everyone, change into more practical clothes and bring any handy tools, then get on the carriage."

As she spoke, she too went back to her room and soon came out wearing indigo blue clothes and trousers, with her hair tied up tightly, not wearing a single piece of jewelry.

The three brothers, Wang Yongfu, along with the Jindou and Jinhoo, also quickly changed clothes and stood next to the carriage with sticks and hoes in hand.

Even Liu Xiaoqiao changed into her clothes and shouldered her bow and arrows.

Wang Yongping was the least savvy of all; in his heart, whether the family split or not, he was set on following his younger sister, so he wasn’t particularly saddened.

In fact, seeing his wife dressed this way, he first bragged to himself about how good she looked in these clothes before finally realizing after a while, "Wife, you’re coming too?"

What a joke, how could he allow his delicate, no, fierce wife to participate in such a bloody event like smashing things at the Sun Family’s home?

Liu Xiaoqiao gave her husband an annoyed look and couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Didn’t he see that his eldest sister-in-law was also preparing to go? At times like this, it was all about showing up in numbers and in force, wasn’t it?

Except for the third sister-in-law, who was too frail and would likely be a burden if she went; thus, she stayed at home to watch the children and parents, everyone else had to join the battle.

When Wang Yongzhu was ready and came out, she and Song Chongjin got on the carriage, Wang Yongfu took Mutou and sat outside.

Inside the carriage, there was silence.

After a long while, Wang Yongping, seeing no one else was speaking and remembering what his little sister said about the division, cautiously asked, "Little sister, are we really going to separate the family?"

Should he ask his little sister if he and his wife could come along when the family divided? Wang Yongping was still struggling with the decision.

Wang Yongzhu glared at him, "Shut up! Save your strength for when we get to the Sun Family and ask them if they want to release her!"

Liu Xiaoqiao felt that was not right and pinched Wang Yongping; was this the time to talk too much?

Although his sister-in-law proposed the family division, Old Wang only considered it for a short moment before agreeing. Truth be told, if she had been in his sister-in-law’s shoes, she would have felt cold-hearted too!

How could one be in good spirits? Her husband, oblivious as he was, kept bringing up the most inappropriate topics!

Lady Lin was the only one in the carriage unaware of the family division, thinking it was about bringing up division at the Sun Family’s house. She didn’t hold it in high regard and instead chimed in, "I think it’s good to divide the family—"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the carriage looked at her, with Jinhoo desperately signaling Lady Lin with his eyes. Wasn’t saying "it’s good to divide the family" at this time like running into the line of fire?

"What’s wrong? Why is everyone looking at me? What’s wrong with dividing the family? Separating Big Sister-in-law and Mutou from the rest, we won’t have to see the face of the Sun Family’s matriarch anymore. In the future, when Mutou marries, with a daughter-in-law to honor them, the good days are still ahead..." Lady Lin looked utterly confused.

Jinhoo covered his face.

Wang Yongzhu actually praised her for a change, "Eldest sister-in-law is right; when it’s time to divide the family, it’s time to divide!"

Lady Lin, rarely receiving praise from her sister-in-law, immediately perked up, "Little sister, you also think I’m right, don’t you? Men just don’t understand the ins and outs here, right? Do they really think we can just go to the Sun Family and bring Big Sister-in-law back? Even if we bring her back, how will Big Sister-in-law live the rest of her life? She can’t be expected to go marry someone else, right? The Sun Family won’t agree to it either!"

"We can’t be expected to support Big Sister-in-law for the rest of her life, can we?" Lady Lin said, curling her lip at the end.
