Old Mrs. Song is reborn; get out of here, you scumbag husband and illegitimate child!

Song Xianglan, always eager for drama, said, "What good are you three daughters-in-law doing, shouting until your voices are hoarse? Old Yu just disappears perfectly whenever trouble comes up?"

"Without the pillar of support, you can't break up even if you argue your eyes out."

These words were spoken.

The women watching the spectacle nodded in agreement.

"That's right. My husband always backs down when something happens, leaving me to take the blame. Once it's all over, he comes out and tries to play the good guy by saying nice things."

"Don't just talk about your family, most are like this."

Everyone talks about wicked mothers-in-law, but nobody talks about wicked fathers-in-law.

Tang Xiuhe was jolted awake by those words. She went to the door of Old Lady Yu's bedroom and pounded on the door so hard it shook the room.

"Dad, what are you doing hiding in there? We have to divide the family property today. As the head of the family, you need to give us your opinion."

The onlookers burst into laughter.

Sister-in-law Lin clutched her stomach and laughed.

"Old Yu's ability to hide his head is truly amazing. No matter how big the problem is, he will hide his head in his shell and never show himself."

"Old Yu is a turtle with a hard shell but a soft tongue."

There was a rustling sound inside the room.

After a while, the door hinges creaked, and Old Yu shuffled out of the house in his slippers.

He rubbed his eyes hard, his face showing exhaustion.

"What's all the noise about? I've been busy leveling the hillside and pulling weeds these past few days, my back is so sore I can barely stand up straight. I just fell asleep and you all woke me up. Oh, why are there so many people in the yard?"

Song Xianglan exposed him in public without any mercy.

"You old fool, you're putting on an act again. We just beat the yard so badly it almost turned it upside down, how could you possibly be sleeping in there? Did you stuff donkey hair in your ears?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Old Lin took out a pack of Longevity cigarettes that Lin Fang had bought from his pocket, took one out and put it in his mouth, then handed some out to the other old men around him.

He held a cigarette between his fingers and gestured with his chin towards Old Yu.

"Old Yu, your three daughters-in-law are determined to cause trouble and divide the family property. You'd better deal with it quickly."

Old Yu's face stiffened; he couldn't keep up the act any longer.

According to rural custom, the family does not separate while the parents are still alive.

Unless there are too many brothers, they might wait until their grandchildren are married.

Only then will the elderly live with their eldest son, and the other sons be separated from the family.

He's still in good health, why would he need to divide the family property?

He frowned. "Why are you making such a fuss about separating the family property? If you don't want Xiujuan to come home, then send her back. We'll treat her like we've raised a son but lost a daughter."

Second Sister-in-law Yu knew perfectly well that her father-in-law was pretending not to understand.

They couldn't tolerate Yu Xiujuan.

She was determined to separate the family, so she simply recounted all the recent events that had happened.

After hearing this, Old Yu's brows furrowed into a deep knot.

He bent down, ripped off his cloth shoes, and slapped Old Lady Yu hard twice on the back.

"You senile old fool. Your daughter-in-law wants to eat chicken, so go to the backyard, catch one, kill it, and stew it. Everyone has moments of craving. You're determined to tear this family apart just for a bite to eat."

Old Mrs. Yu was used to being domineering at home, and now that she had been beaten in front of the whole village, she was so angry that she screamed.

"You heartless old bastard. I was such a beautiful young woman back then, I must have been blind to marry you and live such a miserable life. If I had gone to the city, I would have been eating government-subsidized food long ago."

The ugly woman laughed loudly:

"The carrying pole fell over and I couldn't recognize the character 'one' anymore. I went to the city but there was no grain ration. In my dreams, I have everything."

Old Yu pointed at her with the sole of his shoe.

"Who wasn't a handsome young man when they were young? Your looks never even impressed me. I only reluctantly agreed to marry you because you were capable and good at managing a household."

Song Xianglan raised her voice, stirring up trouble: "Old woman Yu, your looks didn't impress him, but your fists certainly will."

Old Mrs. Yu suddenly felt a surge of anger.

He listened to Song Xianglan's words, swung his fist, and slammed it hard into Old Yu's right eye socket with a loud bang.

Old Yu let out a miserable howl.

He covered his eyes with his hands and squatted down on the ground.

Old Mrs. Yu stood with her hands on her hips, arrogant and domineering, saying, "My looks may not impress you, but my fists will."

Old Lin laughed until tears streamed down his face in the crowd. "Old Yu, you love that she asked for little dowry but brought a lot. You love her modest appearance and that she'll endure hardship with you and see you become a nobody."

Once Old Yu calmed down, he couldn't suppress his anger any longer.

He pounced on her and started fighting with Old Lady Yu.

The two of them pulled each other's hair and scratched each other's faces, rolling around in the yard.

Seeing his parents fighting so badly, Yu Lao Er rushed over to break them up.

"Dad, Mom. Stop hitting him, the whole village will laugh at us."

As soon as he put his hand in, Old Yu punched him in the face, and then Old Yu's wife scratched a bloody mark on his neck.

Second Sister-in-law Yu grabbed Second Brother Yu's arm and forcefully pulled him aside.

She pulled the towel off her neck and tenderly covered his swollen cheek. "Don't you ever learn? Do you think you're Yu Xiujuan or Yu Pengfei? Your parents don't care about you at all. What were you doing rushing up there to get beaten?"

The commotion grew louder and louder.

The village's head was hurriedly summoned over.

Upon seeing the chaos in the yard, the brigade leader quickly went forward to pull the two old men on the ground who were reluctant to part.

"Old Yu, let go."

Just as the captain bent down, Old Lady Yu scratched the back of his hand with one claw and then smacked him in the face with another.

Old Yu kicked him hard in the shinbone.

The captain screamed in pain, clutching his leg and backing away repeatedly.

Liu Chunhua, the captain's wife, was in the crowd. When she saw that her husband had been wronged, she was furious.

She rolled up her sleeve and yanked hard at Old Lady Yu's hair.

Then he kicked Old Yu in the lower back.

Liu Chunhua hit and cursed at the same time:

"These old folks have gone mad. If they're dead, just take them to the mountain and bury them. Why did you have to meddle and come here to cause trouble?"

The captain clutched his leg.

He was so angry that he was snorting loudly from his nostrils.

"Stop! Let's resolve this calmly. Even if you two old folks fight to the death here today, you won't solve the problem of dividing the family property."

The captain's words were a wake-up call for Tang Xiuhe and the other two.

The three men exchanged a glance, then quickly stepped forward. One grabbed the man's arm, another his leg, and they pinned the old couple to the ground, rendering them immobile.

Liu Chunhua stood by, still arguing, "My husband almost got sent to see his great-grandmother by you two old sluts when you tried to break up the fight. This isn't over. You have to pay for his treatment at the barefoot doctor's."

Old Yu was pinned to the ground by his daughter-in-law, and he glanced up at the brigade leader's face.

He quickly shrank back and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my old eyes are failing me, I hit the wrong person."

Liu Chunhua spat, "Your old woman is even more disgusting. She scratches her anus when it itches, then turns around and scratches her toes. Now she's scratching people, spreading poison everywhere."

The captain's mind went blank for a moment, his stomach churned, and he turned and rushed to the corner to vomit violently.

The village accountant came out with a notebook in his hand.

"Alright, since things have come to this, tell me, how do you plan to divide the family property?"

The villagers all shook their heads.

Offending the brigade leader's accountant could break up a family.

Tang Xiuhe said firmly, "All the pots, pans, grains, chickens, and ducks in the house will be divided equally."

Second Sister-in-law Yu loudly echoed, "I agree to split it equally."

She turned and pinched Yu Lao Er's arm hard. "If you dare to bare your teeth, flinch, or fart in opposition today, you can live with your parents. I'll take the kids and live separately."

Yu Pengfei rode his bicycle back.

He usually only goes back to the village once every one or two weeks.

As soon as I arrived at my doorstep today, I saw that the yard was full of people, both inside and out.

He stepped on the pedal, trying to turn around and get away.

Lin Gang took a step to the side, blocking the front of his car.

"Pengfei, you're finally back. There's a family dispute at home; your wife says she's going to divorce you if you don't separate today. You need to go in and handle it."

Yu Pengfei stopped his bicycle.

A child ran over and helped him set up the bike frame.

He strode into the yard, his voice as cold as ice, "Separating the family property, huh? I agree. Getting a divorce, huh? I agree to that too."

These words were spoken.

The entire room fell silent.

Sister-in-law Yu's head buzzed, and her vision suddenly went black.

Her voice trembled: "Have you found a vixen outside? Is that why you insist on divorcing me for that slut? Let me tell you, no way! I'd rather die than agree to a divorce."

Yu Pengfei looked at her coldly, his tone completely indifferent.

"It's fine if you don't agree to a divorce. Mom and Dad will live with me, their eldest son. The second and third sons don't need to contribute a single penny to their care and funeral arrangements."

He turned to look at Tang Xiuhe and Yu Ersao, revealing his trump card.

"When the village distributes land to individual households, the land that belongs to my parents will all be given to my second and third children. I don't want anything."

That's a really vicious move.

He used the land and the pressure of retirement as bargaining chips to force his wife to compromise.

In this way, if Sister-in-law Yu doesn't get a divorce, she'll have to take on these two troublesome in-laws and won't get any benefits.

The children couldn't take it anymore and shouted angrily, "Dad, if you really dare to divorce Mom, we'll pretend you're not our father anymore. We'll never acknowledge you as our father, even if it kills us!"

Looking at his own flesh and blood, Yu Pengfei suddenly let out a bitter laugh.

He spread his hands.

"Silly children, it doesn't matter whether you acknowledge me or not. I'm unemployed now, and I won't even be able to support myself, let alone support you."

These words struck like a thunderbolt.

It struck straight down in the yard.

Sister-in-law Yu's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Old Yu and his wife couldn't believe their ears. They struggled to their feet, their voices trembling uncontrollably, "Pengfei, what nonsense are you spouting? You had a secure job, how could you lose it like that?"

Yu Pengfei: "If you hadn't insisted on going to live with the military and caused trouble in the family compound every few days, offending my superiors completely, would I have the good life I have today? It's all thanks to you."
