"Divided families, which families are divided?!"
The head of Ye Family, Ye Guangzong, along with his other two sons, heard the ruckus outside and couldn't sit inside the house anymore. They rushed over and happened to hear Ye Dazhuang's words, so they fiercely glared at him and roared.
Then, he walked in front of Niu Chuxi, clasped his hands and said loudly:
"Village Chief, this is a matter of our own. Let's not disturb the village head anymore. The villagers should return as well. We still need to work in the afternoon. Everyone should go back and rest."
Niu Chuxi was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Yang Lili and Qimu's expressions. He sighed, since it was difficult to end a family matter, not to mention he was just a village chief, there was no need to get into a ruckus with the Ye Family, so he had no choice but to consider the situation of the poor mother and daughter, and said slowly:
"You guys go ahead and talk, don't let anything happen that hurts others. If it happens again, don't blame me, the village chief, for not showing mercy. Mu, if you have free time, come and sit with my little girl."
Qimu gritted her teeth. It was such a good thing that her father agreed to it. Her grandfather, who only cared about farming and didn't have much control over the land, came running out again. This infuriated her!
What Village Head Niu said was clearly due to their relationship and he did not intend to interfere. However, he said the last sentence secretly to protect them and did not explicitly say that if they were to be bullied again, they would go to the Village Head's house to find him to make the decision. Qimu felt truly grateful towards the Village Head in her heart.
"..."
After the village chief left, most of the people also followed along. They whispered to each other and discussed amongst themselves. For a long period of time in the future, Ye Family was destined to be the focal point of the Niu Village … Only Aunt Wang and Aunt Lin were left. The former was not afraid of trouble and wanted to stay and help, but the latter was worried about the second house. They were both shameless and didn't want to leave.
Ye Guangzong did not care about them anymore, as long as the left and right village chief left, the other people were not too serious. In any case, he had already seen the excitement of Ye Family, and there was no need for this meeting.
"Old man …"
Mrs. Lee was already quite old and was still wiping away her tears. She looked delicate and touching as she looked at Ye Guangzong. She wanted to say a few words for herself.
Ye Guangzong only needed to glance at her to know what her old wife was planning. She had lived with her for dozens of years and he was not stupid, so how could he not know Mrs. Lee's character.
Noticing that Ye Guangzong's expression wasn't good, Mrs. Lee didn't dare to act like a demoness anymore. She immediately shut her mouth and stood beside him. As their daughter-in-law, Zhang Chuncao and Lee Zhiqing lowered their heads and waited obediently.
"What did you say? How can there be any parents in our Ye Family? As his son, why are you arguing about splitting up? Do you even have a father like me in your eyes?"
Ye Guangzong said with a dark face.
"Dad, your son doesn't mean that."
"Then don't mention anything about the branch family. Go back to your room now and invite Doctor Faang over again for your wife and children to see. Live a good life and don't cause any more trouble."
"Father, your son has already thought about it. It's better to divide the family. I won't say a word even if father and mother give me more."
When Ye Guangzong heard that Ye Dazhuang didn't have any intention of repenting, he immediately picked up a wooden stick that was as thick as his wrist and threw it towards Ye Dazhuang without any mercy.
"You little brat, your wings are too hard. You're not even going to listen to your father …"
"If we have to split up, before I die, don't even think about …"
"How did I end up having such an unfilial child like you …"
If this was any other day, she would have tried to pull Ye Dazhuang over since he was her own son. But today, she had already lost all of her face, and this unfilial son did not even say a single word. She naturally did not have the mood to do so, and as she watched Ye Dazhuang get beaten up, she actually felt a faint sense of happiness in her heart.
It was normal for a father to beat his son, not to mention what he said earlier. However, this time, he had already made up his mind, it was absolutely necessary, at worst, he would just be kicked out. With just his strength, he had risked his life, why would he be afraid of starving his daughter-in-law to death?
He lowered his head to look at his wife's unsightly face. Her wife had followed him no matter how tired she was after so many years, and his mother had made things difficult for her after so many years just because it couldn't be considered to be a proper marriage. He had originally thought that his mother would see her good sooner or later after seeing her in the long term …
I can't continue anymore.
Qimu watched on the side with a slightly moved expression. She didn't go up to stop him, but instead hugged Yangyang who was frightened. She no longer showed him the scene where there might be a shadow for the rest of his life, gently patting his back, comforting him like a mother.
He was a cheap dad. This time, he really made up his mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Ye Guangzong hit him like this and wouldn't have said a word.
Under Ye Guangzong's scolding, the whole family fell into silence. Other than the last time when Ye Dateng tried to step forward, he was stopped again.
"..."
After a while, when Ye Guangzong was tired, Ye Dazhuang raised his head and said indifferently,
"Father, your son doesn't need a single cent of his Ye Family. He will bring his wife and child to town this afternoon to beg for food. Before leaving, he will kowtow three times to his parents, treating it as repaying them for their birthright."
"Mu, Yangyang, let's go."
Ye Guangzong suddenly felt his blood boiling, his eyes almost popping out as he helplessly watched his second son's family supporting each other as they walked further and further away. He was so angry that he felt sad as he shouted:
"Unfilial son!"
"Come back here!"
"You heartless bastard!"
"..."
"Dazhuang, come back, our branch family, isn't the branch family fine?!" Don't go into town! "
"You don't even have a place to stay in the town, how are you going to live if you go?!"
"Come back!"
Ye Dazhuang stopped walking. He felt the heavy weight in his arms and walked step by step towards home as if he didn't hear it.
He was a man, and he kept his word.
Qimu saw the anxiety in her heart, but she was also afraid that it would backfire. This father of hers was really stubborn. As long as he was close, where were they going to live in the town? Since Ye Guangzong was already lowering himself, couldn't he just use the stairs to get down?
Sigh, if he really pissed the old man off, then the one who would never be at ease in his life would be this cheap dad.
Ye Guangzong looked at his son who was never coming back. Two streams of tears flowed down his face and onto his chest. The others were frightened and held their breath.
He no longer cursed and just stood there, crying. His eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life.
He regretted.
Actually, among the three sons, even if he was the eldest son, he still wouldn't be an old one. Instead, it would be the second son that he had neglected for over 30 years, Dazhuang.
This kid, Dazhuang, had been sensible since he was young. He was so sensible that he would feel wronged and hurt if he forgot about him, causing him and Mrs. Lee to feel less care and understanding towards him.
His second son was actually the most honest and hardworking of the three. After so many years, he was also the most filial child.
"..."
He should have let him go to school. He could see his desire, and not let his third son, who always liked to be lazy and slippery, rub honey in his mouth, with his eyes closed.
When his second son had been driven out of the main house, he shouldn't have been so indifferent.
"..."
He had made so many mistakes that his son no longer wanted him or him to turn back.
Ye Guangzong, oh Ye Guangzong, you lost your family's property in your previous life and lost your son in the next.
"..."
Inside Ye Family Second House.
"Mom, dad and grandpa are making a ruckus and are going to spend their days in town. Dad will be coming in later, so just try to persuade him. We'll split up the family, so don't overdo it."
Qimu repeatedly reminded Yang Lili, who had just woken up. In fact, when she looked at Ye Guangzong's appearance, she felt a bit sad. That old man was not heartless, but he did not realize that some people's weight far exceeded his expectations.
"As for the rest, Mom, you don't need to worry about it." As for the rest, Mom, you don't need to care about it.
Seeing that Yang Lili agreed with a frown on her face, Qimu heaved a sigh of relief. The reason why Ye Dazhuang was determined to leave was largely because of Yang Lili.
Yang Lili's nemesis was Ye Dazhuang, so she listened to him. On the other hand, Ye Dazhuang's nemesis was also Yang Lili. As long as he doted on her, he would not ignore her wishes.
Her father was also ruthless at the moment. If he passed, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
I must go to town, but not now.
"..."
After a night of running back and forth in pain and suffering, Qimu's words had finally calmed down both sides.
Her father agreed not to go to town, but decided to split up.
Mrs. Lee was adamant in disagreeing, and it was rare for Lee Zhiqing to be so adamant as well.
Being suppressed by Qimu, Zhang Chuncao did not dare to object.
Uncle wanted peace to be the most precious thing in the world.
Third uncle was nowhere to be seen.
On the other hand, she, her lucky grandfather, was out of the ordinary. She unexpectedly decided on the spot with a clap of her hands, and said:
"The branch family, who dares to say another word?"
Mrs. Lee was so scared that she did not dare to make any more trouble, and the rest of the people did not have any more words to say.
Thus, this big trouble of the branch family was decisively settled.
From then on, Qimu's affection for this cheap grandpa who loved farming and didn't care about chores shot up. She thought to herself: When she has the ability, she will definitely let this cheap grandpa enjoy himself.
The hearts of men were all divided.
This is how the family is divided, says Old Man Ye Guangzong. He has to think about it again.
Qimu looked at the bright moon in the sky and smiled. She decided to split the family apart as long as her mother was no longer bullied and her family no longer worked as a horse.
How much, who cares? The old man was in charge of the family property that the old man had earned. If he wanted it, then he would have to fight for it himself.
With just a little bit of effort, he would have everything in the future!
To be honest, she originally wanted to interfere with the distribution of wealth. With the village chief's help and the mouths of the villagers, she predicted that Mrs. Lee wouldn't dare to be too harsh on them.
However, Ye Guangzong, at the very last moment, if he could yell at his family to come back, they would have no place to go and no food to eat … It was just that there was still a bit of kinship left.
With just a bit of affection, he'd already won by a lot.
Qimu fell asleep with a smile on her face.
