"Yang, you're showing such favoritism, you wouldn't have taken money from them, would you?!"

Chen Yue'e blurted out in anger, and immediately regretted it after saying it.

boom!

Yang Cong'an's face turned ashen. He clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the wooden table, then jumped to his feet.

"Chen, how dare you!"

"If you can produce evidence, I will resign from this position as village head on the spot and kneel in front of the ancestral hall for three days and three nights."

"But what if you can't produce it? Will you be expelled from Yangjia Village?!"

Seeing the village head suddenly erupt in anger, Yang Chengren was nearly scared out of his wits. He quickly pulled Chen Yue'e back and hurriedly explained:

"Lord of the village, please calm down. You know my wife's temperament. She just speaks without thinking, but she doesn't actually have any bad intentions."

Hearing this, Yang Cong'an snorted coldly and sneered:

"You don't have any bad intentions?"

"Then why did you two go to your family's house while your third son was being buried, with the intention of taking advantage of someone who has no descendants?"

"If this isn't considered bad, then there are probably no bad people in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue'e turned pale and stammered:

"This is just Yang Xiaoman's opinion, it's not true."

"Is that so?" Yang Cong'an glanced at her coldly, knowing that this person was vicious and shameless to the extreme.

So he looked directly at Yang Chengren and coldly demanded:

"Your wife says it's all nonsense from your niece, just one person's opinion."

"If you truly have a clear conscience, do you dare to go to the ancestral hall, kneel before your ancestors, and swear an oath in public?"

"I..." Yang Chengren was speechless for a moment, and subconsciously looked at his wife and then at his second brother Yang Chengshan.

Seeing that both of them were avoiding his gaze, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head, saying:

"Yang, village head, don't misunderstand the point today. It's about dividing the family! It's about severing ties!"

"Whether we were right or wrong that day, my wife and I have already been punished, so there's no need to bring it up again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a low chuckle rang out in front of the main hall.

Clearly, anyone present who wasn't a fool could see that Yang Chengren's reaction at this moment was a blatant confirmation of the fact that he had tried to kill his niece to prevent her from having any offspring!

Meanwhile, under Yang Xiaoman's leadership.

Yang Laishun and Grandma Yang then took their seats.

As soon as he sat down, Yang Cong'an raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, asking:

"According to the rules of Yangjia Village, brothers do not separate the family while their parents are still alive. If they want to separate the family, they must obtain the parents' consent."

"Uncle Lai Shun, are you willing to separate the family business ahead of schedule?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Laishun and Old Lady Yang exchanged a glance, then, ignoring the looks from their eldest and second sons, nodded without hesitation and said:

"Reporting to the village head, I was able to come here because I had already discussed it with my wife."

"We both... agree to split up the family!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren and the other three men's expressions changed drastically.

"Father, didn't you say everything was fine at home? How can you just agree to the division of the family property so easily?!"

He blurted out instinctively, but by the time he realized what he had said, it was too late.

Yang Xiaoman raised her eyelids slightly. To her surprise, not only were her two uncles in cahoots, but they also had a backup plan and had already persuaded her grandparents in advance.

However, the grandfather's attitude at this moment was clearly beyond the expectations of the eldest and second uncles.

"Sigh..." Yang Laishun sighed, looking at his eldest son and said softly:

"Chengren, the reason your father and mother agreed to your request is simply because they were afraid you would pester them relentlessly."

"Your third brother had an accident. Your parents are helpless and can't do much to help, but we can't bear to watch his daughter be sold to another family."

"If you and Chengshan feel you've been taken advantage of in terms of support, then... your mother and I will move out. I'm still quite healthy, and I can manage some farmland without starving."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren blushed deeply.

Should we let our parents move out so they can support themselves in their old age?

If he really agrees to that, he probably won't have the face to stay in Yangjia Village anymore!

"Father, don't be unreasonable."

Just as Yang Chengren and Chen Yue'e remained silent, Chen Yue'e spoke with a cold face.

"Supporting our parents is an obligation. Neither Chengren and I, nor my second brother and his wife, will sit idly by and abandon you and our mother."

"But you two insist on dividing the family property to your third son's family and don't want her and her son to support you. Such favoritism will inevitably hurt the feelings of both our families."

Upon hearing this, Yang Laishun lowered his head and remained silent.

He certainly knew this principle.

Seeing the troubled expressions on her grandparents' faces, Yang Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, her gains from the Han family were quite good; otherwise, if she really had to rely on the inheritance her grandparents had received, she feared...

Thinking of this, she suddenly spoke:

"Grandpa and Grandma, I have an idea, but I don't know if you'd be willing?"

Yang Cong'an's eyes flickered slightly.

"Tell me about it first."

Since the village head had spoken, Yang Laishun had no choice but to nod.

"Grandpa, you and Grandma are still in good health, so there is really no need to divide the inheritance."

Although Yang Xiaoman's tone was calm, the content of her words surprised both Yang Chengren and his family.

No division of family property?

"All my mother and I ask for today is to divide the family property."

As she spoke, she glanced disdainfully at her aunt.

"Since outsiders are coveting the family fortune, why not do as I say? We'll divide the family property but not the assets. The Yang family's assets will all be managed by Grandpa and Grandma. Whoever takes good care of you two in the future will be entitled to inherit the family fortune. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun was surprised and subconsciously looked at her daughter.

On the way here, she clearly said that she wanted to fight for the family property and not let her uncles succeed. Why did she suddenly change her mind now?

The villagers who were watching from the gate of the ancestral hall couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Dividing the family property but not the assets actually reduces disputes.

"No way!" To everyone's surprise, Chen Yue'e suddenly sprang to her feet, slammed her hand on the table, and loudly refused.

"Since we're dividing the family property, we must divide it; we can't delay!"

"Who knew that while they publicly agreed, the two elders would secretly give you money and land deeds?"

At this point, her gaze turned cold, and she gritted her teeth, saying:

"Father, you took Mother to the third son's house to deliver money a few days ago. You don't think Chengren and I didn't know, do you?"

"You and your mother live in my house, eating and drinking my food, and you even gave our family's money to these two. If we really let you two manage our family property as she says, wouldn't it be a long time before our entire family is hollowed out by her underlings?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Laishun's face turned ashen, and he said angrily:

"That money was earned by your mother herself while weaving bamboo baskets. Besides, it was a loan, not a gift. Don't talk nonsense!"

After hearing this, Wu Cuihua curled her lip and said sarcastically:

"Father, if it weren't for my elder brother and his wife supporting you two, Mother probably wouldn't be able to support the two of you with the little money she earns from weaving bamboo baskets, would she?"

"Not to mention you've managed to save any money. To put it bluntly, you're just giving away what was originally your elder brother's money!"
