Xia Dinghai shuddered and glared at Song: "It's all because you can't give birth to a son! I want to marry a concubine to give birth to a son for me!"
With his son, his position was secure. It was impossible for Xia Dingfeng to kill him and his son together, right
"Husband." Song's face flushed as if someone had stepped on her tail. "How can you say that to me?"
"Hmph, if I had a son, I wouldn't be bullied by the third brother. Everything in this Xia family will be mine!" said Xia Dinghai.
Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, Song used hard tactics: "Xia Dinghai, let me tell you, if you dare to marry a concubine, I will tell everyone about the dirty things you have done!"
Xia Dinghai's face changed drastically, and he softened immediately: "I, I'm just saying. How can our family afford to raise a child?"
"Hmph! Although I didn't give birth to a son, my daughter is doing well. Shanshan has become well-known in the county. She will take care of me in my old age! Maybe she can even take me to the county town to enjoy a good life!" Song put her hands on her hips, as if she had already entered the county town and become a noble lady. "When I go to the county town in the future, who will care about this broken family business?"
Xia Dinghai was not as optimistic as Song. As soon as he closed his eyes while lying on the bed, he saw someone strangling his neck. He was so scared that he quickly opened his eyes.
No, I can't live with the third brother anymore. We must separate the family! We should separate the family as soon as possible, so that no one can covet anyone else's property!
Xia Dinghai stood up and went to the main house to discuss with his parents.
Old Man Xia disagreed: "Why should we divide the family property?"
"That's right, your father and I are not dead yet!" Grandma Xia also disagreed. If the family is not divided, the financial power of the family will be in their hands, even though they don't work. If the family is divided, who can they manage in the future? Who will make money for them
"Mom, my third son and I really can't live together anymore, so we have to separate! Don't worry, we will pay your pensions on time and will never let you suffer any grievances." Xia Dinghai said.
"No!" Grandma Xia sneered. Once she handed over the financial power, it would be completely different from asking others for a living.
Old Man Xia also said, "Our family makes a living by making tiles. You two brothers can only work if you help each other. If we divide the family, how will we divide the kiln?"
"We can build another kiln," said Xia Dinghai.
"Can the newly built kiln produce tiles of the same quality? Do you think you are all Xia Qianqian?" Grandma Xia said.
Xia Dinghai thought about it and it was true. They had learned how to make tiles, but the kiln was built by the eldest brother, and they did not understand the secrets. He said, "That's it. After the family is divided, we will still work together. But the third brother is too lazy. Dad, you should often come to the kiln to supervise the work and split the money you earn."
"It's so troublesome, why not just keep the family together?"
"That's right, we are one family but we have to say different things. We can't let the villagers laugh at us!"
"No, I really can't live with him. He always bullies me for not having a son, and I can't stand this grievance. Why should the money I work hard to earn be used to support his son in the future?" Xia Dinghai said, "Anyway, I have made up my mind. If my parents support me, we will separate peacefully tomorrow. If not, I will live alone with my wife and children."
A grown son is no longer under the control of his mother. Xia Dinghai insisted so much that Old Man Xia and Grandma Xia had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll talk to the third brother tomorrow, and then ask the village chief and the tribesmen to witness it. However, we can't divide the family, so you brothers still have to cooperate well in the future."
"Okay." Xia Dinghai breathed a sigh of relief. After the family was divided, the third brother could no longer plot against him.
