Chapter 1052: You Shut Up

Father Cui really wanted to strangle this brainless creature.

In a fit of anger, he threw down the broom and looked at Mr. He: "In-law, it’s my fault for not teaching her well. I apologize on behalf of her and her son to Yanqing and your family."

He Jiefang kept a cold face: "Uncle Cui, let’s avoid these pleasantries. It wouldn’t be right if your grandson committed murder outside one day, and you just put on a show like this to settle it, would it?"

Cui Yinhua, sitting on the kang, wasn’t pleased: "Hey, how can you talk like that?"

He Jiefang didn’t indulge her: "Am I wrong in saying that?"

He glanced at Cui Ziqiang, then with a sudden realization, said: "Looks like the Cui Family treasures grandsons but doesn’t care about grandsons-in-law. Otherwise, why won’t they even let the truth be said?"

Cui Yinhua saw her second brother’s increasingly disapproving look: "Stop trying to stir things up here."

He Jiefang sneered: "Am I wrong? Otherwise, how do you murderers have the gall to freeload at your parents’ house? How could Cui Ziqiang possibly allow you to stick around like this?"

Cui Ziqiang knew his brother-in-law was truly angry. It wasn’t like he hadn’t said anything, but his own mother said: "Old Six can’t get along with her husband’s family; she is your real sister. Besides, your third sister married far away, and your dad and I are getting old. We have to depend on the fifth and sixth to come back and help with chores. We can’t rely solely on your wife."

With those words being said, what more could he say?

He did want to move out with Yanqing and the kids, but since his big brother and fourth brother weren’t in Sanyuan City, the family probably couldn’t be split.

Father Cui spoke up: "Big brother, losing the child has been painful for us too, and digging deeper serves no purpose. What do you want to do today, just say it directly."

He Jiefang looked at Mr. He: "Dad, you speak."

Mr. He didn’t beat around the bush: "You’re heartbroken over losing a grandson, but not only did we lose a grandson-in-law, but our daughter’s health was also affected. Yet, what did you do afterwards?"

Mrs. Cui chipped in: "In-law, let me say something. I took care of Yanqing’s recovery for a whole month; she wasn’t mistreated in the slightest. You can ask her if you don’t believe me."

Mr. He wouldn’t let his daughter answer and directly said: "You owed it to her to look after her recovery, wasn’t that the right thing to do?"

Seeing Mrs. Cui unable to respond, he continued: "Do you know why we didn’t come by earlier? Naturally, it was to avoid affecting Yanqing’s recovery."

Having laid it out clearly, the Cui Family finally understood that the He Family didn’t want to just let things slide but rather intended to settle scores.

The Cui Family also understood the He Family’s concerns were justified. If things had escalated earlier, it was hard to say if Yanqing’s recovery would have been peaceful.

Father Cui sighed lightly: "In-laws, tell us, what do you want to do?"

Mr. He glanced at his daughter: "Split the family."

The faces of the Cui Family were unhappy upon hearing this, and Mrs. Cui anxiously said: "In-law, only the second brother is with us now. If we split the family, won’t it be a laughing stock?"

Mr. He didn’t reply but kept staring at Father Cui, waiting for an answer.

Cui Yinhua, seeing the He Family pressing them: "My big brother and fourth brother are in Sanyuan. If my second brother were to split the family, wouldn’t he be criticized for being unfilial?"

He Jinxuan shot a sharp glance: "Now you know to worry. When you were instigating your son to disrespect his aunt, why didn’t you consider your second brother’s feelings more? Now you’re coming forward.

Your second brother moving out, don’t you still have you?

This is perfect. No matter how often you stay or eat at your parents’ house, you now have a justified reason. Your parents won’t have to keep coming up with excuses to save face for you."

Cui Yinhua, feeling humiliated, disregarded everything and said, "This is my home. Don’t you think you’re meddling too much?"

At this moment, Cui Ziqiang shouted: "Shut up! If it weren’t for you, constantly feeding crooked ideas to your children to get a mouthful of food, they wouldn’t have done harmful things or said those disgusting things just now. Old Six, I’ve tolerated you long enough. Don’t push me to act."

Seeing their second son’s reaction, Father Cui and Mrs. Cui knew there was no stopping the split.

Father Cui, wanting to give the He Family and his second son an explanation, nodded in agreement to the split: "In-laws, I agree to the split, but please allow everyone’s return first. Does that work for you?"
