Chapter 89: Not Taking Enough Advantage

```

According to custom, people from both branches of the family were supposed to contribute grain and invite witnesses and in-laws to share a meal signifying the division of the family.

However, their witnesses, the Party Secretary of Xie Village, Xie Jianye, and the village head Xie Dahhu, unequivocally refused the strenuous entreaties of the Xie family's two branches, refusing to stay for a meal at the Xie household no matter what.

In the end, they forcefully took away Uncle Lu from the second branch and his wife without further discussion.

Seeing that the family division meal would not come to pass, the one most discontent was actually Lin Meizhu, the wife of the eldest son.
