Chapter 141: Chapter 141: The Real Family Split!
"Sigh..."
It wasn’t until Mrs. Li stopped talking that Old Yuan let out a long sigh.
"You’re right, Eldest Daughter-in-law!"
Old Yuan sat on the kang, looking rather dejected.
"Now that the family is separated, indeed you should make your own decisions. In a way, it’s my fault as the father-in-law!"
"Eldest, your wife is right about this matter."
"And you, don’t be mad at your wife!"
Old Yuan sighed again, "Originally, when we were still in Shiqu Village, I was thinking that after spring, we would build another house, separate the household, and live our own lives."
"But later, Shougui insisted on entangling with the Sheng family’s eldest daughter. I was worried that it would bring trouble to the family, that’s why I decided to move again!"
"Dad, I agreed with this, you can’t be blamed!"
Yuan Pandi heard her father say this and quickly interjected, trying to interrupt whatever Old Yuan was about to say.
Old Yuan waved his hand and said, "Eldest, don’t speak yet, let me finish!"
Some things, once spoken of, should be laid out in the open. Whatever happens, happens. Previously, he suppressed everything under the guise of a patriarch, which was clearly the wrong choice.
"To the Second and Third households, since the second and third sons have joined the army, the matters at home should indeed be decided by you two!"
"Now, let’s discuss this again!"
"If you feel staying in Beishan Village is not as good as staying in Shiqu Village, you can choose to return!"
"Originally, the house and fields in Shiqu Village were left to Shougui, but if you want to go back and reclaim them, you can!"
"Dad, please don’t say that, we want to stay in Beishan Village!"
Mrs. Song quickly expressed her position after hearing what Old Yuan said.
Mrs. Peng followed Mrs. Song’s lead and made the same statement.
Return to Shiqu Village?
Unless they were tired of living well!
They were not like Mrs. Li, who had a son left in Shiqu Village.
Moreover, both Mrs. Song and Mrs. Peng now believed in the notion that Yuan Bao is the Yuan Family’s Fubao.
The wild boars came to their doorstep not once, but twice!
The Beishan Village’s royal family descendant had been poor for generations, but as soon as they moved over here, the original owners of the fields and forests met their end, and the land was distributed for free to the villagers.
One moment, they felt they had fallen into a pit, the next, they got great news.
Once could be a coincidence, twice could also be a coincidence, but when coincidences come one after another, it’s no longer a coincidence, but a certainty.
"Alright, if you want to stay in Beishan Village, then stay in Beishan Village!"
"Eldest, Eldest Daughter-in-law, whether your family stays in Beishan Village or goes back to Shiqu Village, you two discuss it slowly."
"The family is separated now, I’m no longer in charge of your household affairs!"
"Since the second and third sons are serving in the army and not at home, as their father, I’ll help take care of their fields."
"Fourth and Fourth Daughter-in-law, the same goes for you two!"
"If there are any issues, you two discuss them together. Of course, if you also think that Jiaojiao being a girl is not as good as having a boy, then in the future, Jiaojiao can stay with us, the old couple!"
Old Yuan displayed immense resolve this time.
Some matters need to come to an end at a certain point.
"Dad, please don’t say that. When we separated, didn’t we already agree? You and mom will stay with us!"
Yuan Zhaodi quickly spoke up, "And with regard to Jiaojiao, whatever you two say goes, the two of us will listen to you!"
