Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

"Hmph, you're so high and mighty. That's three hundred yuan! Even if we sold everything in our family, we wouldn't have that much money. How are you going to pay it back?" Yang Xiangmei said indignantly.

In her mind, it was only natural for her older sister to help her family after she became successful, so why shouldn't Luo Chunhua help her family now that she was capable?

“I’ll pay it back slowly once I start working. It’s only a year, I can pay it all off within a year. Once I’ve paid it all off, I’ll bring you over, and then the children can go to school in the city.” Luo Ping knew his wife well; he couldn’t give her false hope, otherwise, she would only take advantage of him.

"That sounds nice, but what about food for me and the children when you're not home? Are we supposed to stop eating and drinking?" Yang Xiangmei didn't expect her husband to be so unsupportive, and she could tell he was really angry, but she still didn't dare to really provoke him.

"I don't care, I'm going to the city. Who knows what you'll do if you go to the city and then abandon us, the three of us?"

Despite all the arguing, she insisted on going with them.

Luo's father remained silent. This was a decision Luo Ping had to make himself. If the whole family really wanted to go, then they would have to figure it out on their own.

The argument had gone on for several days without calming down. Luo Ping wanted to go back to work as soon as possible, but Yang Xiangmei wouldn't budge, so he couldn't leave.

Finally, Luo Ping went to his father, wanting to ask him for advice.

Mr. Luo had also had enough of the constant noise at home. In the past few days, some people in the village had started to laugh at their family.

He had heard the gossip in the village, and if things continued like this, his eldest son's family would be ruined.

"Dad, please help me!" Luo Ping came to his parents' room looking dejected.

He pleaded with his parents with a pleading expression.

The old lady's eyes were constantly filled with tears, and her heart was filled with sorrow. It was supposed to be a wonderful thing, but why did it become the source of endless noise in her house?

Mr. Luo smoked his pipe, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

If the son were to bring his family over, the daughter's family would definitely feel that he was being biased. But if they didn't go, there would be no peace at home.

"Dad, can you just consider this a loan? I'll pay it back slowly after I start working. I'll definitely pay back my sister's family's money within two years."

Having the opportunity to make a name for himself, Luo Ping naturally didn't want to stay in the village.

If he didn't have the opportunity, he definitely wouldn't have thought about it.

"I won't stop you from bringing your wife and children, but we'll have to separate the household. Your younger brother isn't married yet, so we'll naturally take better care of him at home. If you have no objections, have your wife come over and discuss it." In the end, Mr. Luo made up his mind to help his son one last time. He'd deal with the rest later.

After the family split up, they can do whatever they want.

Luo Ping felt very distressed when he heard that his father had such thoughts.

"Dad, I'll send money home once I've saved enough. We don't need to split up the family property, right?" So many years have passed, and he really can't bear to part with the family.

Besides, judging from his father's words, he plans to live with his younger brother from now on.
Wouldn't the villagers then break his back?
"You should discuss this with your wife. You've been arguing for so long, it's time to come up with a solution."

Mr. Luo also came to a conclusion: since that's the case, then they should divide the family property.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. No one owes anyone anything. Helping is a matter of kindness, not helping is one's right. He didn't want his eldest daughter-in-law not to help his daughter. If he couldn't help his daughter, it was his incompetence, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Luo An's father is still alive; he won't let him go without a wife.

"Let's go back." Mr. Luo didn't want to say anything more at this point.

Luo Ping returned to the house and told his wife about his father's plans.

Yang Xiangmei didn't see anything wrong with it; in fact, she thought it was a good thing. Her family was going to move to the city anyway, and separating the household would allow her to sell some of their belongings. With that in mind, she immediately agreed to the separation.

"I agree to the division of the family property."

Luo Ping was a little annoyed that she agreed so readily. "What, have my parents mistreated you all these years since you married into the family? You're so happy about the idea of ​​dividing the family property? Don't forget, I'm the eldest son, and I'm responsible for taking care of my parents in their old age."

Luo Ping was in a bad mood and retorted without thinking.

“They’re not incapable of earning work points, why should we support them? My parents are so old, yet they still work in the fields to earn a living. What, are your parents so precious that they can’t work anymore?” Yang Xiangmei immediately objected when she heard that she had to support them in their old age.

"Luo Ping, let me tell you, if you dare to abandon your wife and children, I'll never forgive you." Yang Xiangmei has gone mad. Recently, many people in the village have been saying that her husband has a job and will go to the city, so he won't want her anymore.

She couldn't be separated from him; if she went to the city, the whole family would go with her.

The old folks are still able to move around, so why should they be the ones to take care of them?

"That's enough." Luo Ping saw that she was getting more and more crazy, and all the good mood he had before getting the job was gone.

"Then you agree to separate the family. From now on, your parents will live with your younger brother. But we won't take a single thing from the family. You'll give your parents five yuan every month as a way of showing filial piety." Luo Ping covered his face with his hands, tears slowly streaming through his fingers.

"If you still can't agree to this condition, then I don't want the job." That's right, he'd rather give up his job than be an ingrate.

Yang Xiangmei was naturally unwilling. Although there weren't many things in the house, they were still worth some money, and she was reluctant to part with the house.

Seeing Luo Ping like this, she dared not have any more thoughts. What if he really didn't want her anymore?
"Okay, I agree, I promise you, but five yuan is too much, two yuan, any more and I won't be able to work anymore." But she was still worried about the money; with money, there was nothing she couldn't buy.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiangmei, who thought herself clever, didn't realize what she lost after causing such a scene at home.

When Bai Jing found out about this, her uncle had already brought her aunt and child to town, and wanted her to help find a house.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Bai Jing still found them a house as soon as possible.

They didn't even give me the chance to stay at home for one night.

Of course, she still gave them some things when they first moved into their new home; she was still that cold-blooded.

After settling her maternal uncle's family in, Bai Jing finally had a chance to ask her mother what had happened.

It was only then that she learned that her maternal grandparents had actually split up, and that her maternal grandparents were still living with her uncle.

Ugh.

She really didn't know whether her good intentions were right or wrong.

If she hadn't said she would find a job for her uncle, none of this would have happened.

"Don't overthink it. It's just that people are never satisfied. Your aunt is just like that, always trying to take advantage. This has nothing to do with you. But I'm still worried about your grandparents living alone at home. Xiaojing, I'm thinking of bringing your grandparents to live with us. What do you think?"

Luo Chunhua felt sorry for her parents.

Bai Jing didn't agree immediately, but thought for a long time before speaking, "Mom, have you thought about it? If Grandma and the others come to town, given Aunt's personality, do you think our family will have a peaceful life?"

Now that she has seen through his character, she will not cause trouble for her family.

It seems my uncle won't be able to find a job in town either. (End of Chapter)
