A Huge Debt

Wang Chunhua was even more agitated than He Jinbao when she heard Su Li's words.

She relied on that money to live a good life every month. If Su Li went back on her word, what would she eat and drink?

"It's the same every month, but you're saying that I'm just spouting nonsense? I think you don't want to admit it!"

"Third daughter-in-law, let me tell you. You were the one who agreed to this. Your name was signed and your fingerprint was pressed on it. If you don't give me the money, I'll immediately burn down your small dilapidated house."

Wang Chunhua wished she could point at Su Li's nose.

After hearing Wang Chunhua's words, some familiar and unfamiliar scenes appeared in Su Li's mind.

The original Su Li was lazy and could not be bullied. Wang Chunhua did not even like her own son, let alone a daughter-in-law who was not related by blood.

Every time they ate, Wang Chunhua would give some soup to Su Li. Su Li was so big that she could not eat her fill at all. She was on the verge of collapse every day.

Wang Chunhua, her mother-in-law, was torturing her. Her sisters-in-law did not get along with her. Usually, she would be the one to do the dirty and tiring work. Two out of three sentences they said were meant to mock her. The treatment of the original owner of this house was worse than that of a dog.

Su Li's bad temper could not tolerate such treatment at all. She made a fuss every other day, but no matter how much she made a fuss, no one paid attention to her. Even her husband, He Yufeng, treated her coldly.

After Su Li gave birth, she realized that He Yufeng doted on the children very much. Su Li felt that her chance had come.

In order to verify her thoughts, Su Li used the children to test He Yufeng a few times. From that, she realized that this trick was really useful. As long as she used the child as an excuse, He Yufeng would compromise with her. This was something that had never happened in the past. Hence, when the child was just one month old, Su Li made their family break from the main family.

When Wang Chunhua heard this, she wished she could clap and cheer. Wang Chunhua was very dissatisfied with the fact that Su Li had given birth to two children from the beginning. She felt that these two children could not help the family at all before they were three years old. Suddenly, there were two more mouths to feed at home. No matter how much they ate, it was food.

When she grew up, she still had to spend money on them to get married. After getting married, they had to have children. There were so many irrelevant people whom she had to spend money to feed. The more Wang Chunhua thought about it, the angrier she became. A vicious sprout appeared in her mind.

She wanted to shoo He Yufeng's family out and not give them a single cent. It would be best if they could give her all the money they had earned.

However, she also felt that it was unlikely. Putting aside whether He Yufeng agreed or not, wouldn't their backbone be poked to death if they split up like this?!

Wang Chunhua couldn't bear to part with the money He Yufeng earned from hunting, but she didn't want to continue raising idle people!

He Yufeng would not mention the separation, so Wang Chunhua could only make a move on Su Li. If Su Li mentioned the separation, Wang Chunhua would have the initiative.

Hence, she took advantage of the fact that Su Li was in her confinement period and tried all ways to bully her. He Yufeng scolded Su Li in the courtyard when she had nothing to do. She even secretly let Su Li's sisters-in-law join her camp.

Su Li and her sisters-in-law understood what Wang Chunhua meant and were overjoyed. After all, if they chased Su Li's family out, there would be one less person to split the assets in the future. They naturally supported such a good thing.

As expected, Su Li could no longer hold it in and started to ask to split up.

Wang Chunhua laughed in her heart, but she still looked reluctant and tried to persuade them to stay.

When Su Li saw Wang Chunhua's hypocritical appearance, she wanted to vomit. She wished she could rush up and tear off Wang Chunhua's face.

When the villagers heard that the daughter-in-law of the He family was breaking up the family, they also ran over to persuade Su Li. After all, she had just given birth. If they split up, there would be less labor. He Yufeng alone might not be able to support the mother and sons.

No matter who it was, Su Li refused to listen to all the persuasions. She insisted on splitting up and even threatened to jump into the river with her children.

In the end, the stalemate could not continue, so Wang Chunhua stood up and spoke.

They could split up, but after the third branch was split up, they had to pay seven taels of silver a month for the old couple's retirement. The family's fields and houses would not be given to them. They would only be given a piece of wasteland at the foot of the mountain for them to build their own house.

They were only given four portions of the cutlery at home. After all, there were only four of them, and they had no use for more.

He Yufeng could only earn five taels of silver a month from hunting. Moreover, he did not even care about the fields and houses. Everyone thought that Su Li would not agree to such harsh conditions.

Unexpectedly, Su Li, this silly girl, nodded without hesitation. As long as they could split up the family, she would agree even if Wang Chunhua wanted ten taels of silver, let alone seven taels of silver.

Anyway, she was not the one who was tired. As long as He Yufeng went out to hunt more, seven taels of silver was nothing.

It would be even better if He Yufeng died of exhaustion. It was exactly what she wanted. She could go back to her parents' house to find her lover…

Su Li sorted out the memories in her mind. She wished she could pull out the original owner's soul and beat her up. She had seen stupid people, but she had never seen anyone so stupid.

It was fine if they did not want anything after splitting up, but they even had to spend a few taels of silver a month. Others only gave the old couple one tael of silver a month after splitting up, but they had done seven times of it!

He Yufeng could earn eight or nine taels of silver a month from hunting. If he gave Wang Chunhua seven taels of silver, they would still have one or two taels left. However, Su Li, this prodigal woman, spent the silver on some useless things.

Damn it!

Su Li gritted her teeth in anger.

Wang Chunhua snorted. "Give me the money."

Su Li glanced at her. "Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't there still a few days before the day of payment? Why are you here to ask for money before the day is up?"

Wang Chunhua placed her hands on her hips. "You've always given me during this time in the past."

Su Li sneered. "That was in the past. This is now. When the time comes, you can come and get the money. Now, I don't have a single cent. I cannot allow you to have such a bad habit!"

"You…" Wang Chunhua was so angry that her chest heaved up and down.

There was a new batch of cloth in the town's cloth shop. It was almost the day of her maternal nephew's one-month-old celebration. She still wanted to make a new set of clothes to show off to her family.

"You what? Am I wrong? Even if you ask the entire village, no one will say that I did the wrong thing."

"I still have work to do. The door is over there. Take care."

"Just you wait. If you can't hand over the money, I'll make sure you don't have a good life." Wang Chunhua angrily pulled He Jinbao away.

Before leaving, He Jinbao even made a face at He Dahu.

He Erhu waved his fist at He Jinbao.

He Jinbao pursed his lips. When he thought of how ruthless He Erhu was when he beat people up, he was a little afraid!

After Wang Chunhua left, Su Li first performed a full-body checkup on the brothers to see if they had any other injuries.

"You can't do this!" He Erhu grabbed his chest tightly.
