Chapter - 50 - Dividing the Family Property 1

"No! I won't agree! There's no way to divide the money!" Gu Xiulan yelled, pointing at Yi Minghuan and cursing.

"You, you ungrateful child! Do you even know how much your mother suffered to bring you into this world?

You've grown up, and the food you eat isn't it just because of me. Fine if you're not a filial child, but if you dare come back and provoke me, I'll make sure you regret it!

Do you want me to go to your grandfather's grave and kill myself there? Would that make you happy?" Gu Xiulan's face was red with anger.

Yi Minghuan's face turned livid when heard her words, he clenched his fists, his hand veins bulging.

He looked at Gu Xiulan with complicated eyes full of resentment and said word by word:

"Don't mention my grandfather! I wish I had never been born or raised by you!"

Tang Li was deeply saddened by Yi Minghuan's words. She hadn't realized he had always felt this way, wishing he had never been born. It must have been a tragic life for him.

'How much had he been tortured in the past?!'

Tang Li's eyes welled up with tears, and she firmly held Yi Minghuan's trembling hand, silently offering him support and strength.

"You ungrateful child! What are you saying? You're not happy? Are you saying that your mother's sacrifices were for nothing?" Gu Xiulan continued to angrily berate Yi Minghuan.

Tang Li was on the brink of confronting Gu Xiulan, but Zeng Yazhu was there, so she restrained herself. She was furious at the elder's behavior and felt they didn't deserve respect.

Damn elders! Are such people even worthy of being called an elder!

"Captain Zeng, please listen to what my mother-in-law is saying. Every mother goes through difficulties when having a child. She suffered the same amount of pain when she gave birth to elder brother as well. It's not right for her to say that!"

Tang Li stepped forward, shielding Yi Minghuan behind her, and pleaded with Zeng Yazhu.

"My mother-in-law raised Minghuan, but look at how she treated him! He was beaten and scolded every day. Isn't he her own flesh and blood?!"

"Why would she treat him this way? She loves elder brother so much, and it breaks my heart to see him treated this way!" Tang Li exclaimed.

"She even accused Minghuan of being unfilial. If he were truly unfilial, he wouldn't have been sending money back every month for so many years. He couldn't even visit his family for years because he was afraid of angering his mother."

"We want to split up to get our fair share, but my mother-in-law refuses and labels us as unfilial. Captain Zeng, can you help us judge? We haven't done anything wrong, have we?" Tang Li implored.

"That's right! You're absolutely right! I'll take charge today, and the money will be divided!" Zeng Yazhu nodded vigorously, feeling frustrated with Gu Xiulan's ignorance.

She was tarnishing the reputation of the team!

Who will marry into their village if this matter spreads! 

"I want a house and food! No way! I won't agree to anything else unless I die!" Gu Xiulan continued to shout defiantly.

"Captain Zeng, you've seen it yourself. We are also helpless. We don't want the house but we can't live with my mother-in-law now.

"We just need some food, a pot, and bedding. If we leave this house, we'll find a place to live on our own," Tang Li explained.

She didn't really want their house; she was just trying to gain some sympathy and secure some basic necessities, given that Gu Xiulan wasn't offering any money in the division.

It can be regarded as giving the captain a way out.

Sometimes in order to advance you need to retreat!

Zeng Yazhu indeed sympathized with Minghuan and his wife and was fed up with Gu Xiulan's behavior.

He scolded her, "Mrs. Gu, they've clearly stated they don't want the house. Hurry up and agree to the small requests Tang Li mentioned."

"If you keep causing trouble, I'll have no choice but to arrest you and lock you up in the black kiln. Then I'll convene a meeting to severely criticize you!"

He angrily threatened her as he knew that rude people don't understand soft language and only rod is the logic of fools.....
