Agreement

Li Fu'er met her father's gaze and nodded.

Then.

Eldest Grandpa and Second Grandpa looked at her father and their siblings. "Second Brother, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, what are you doing? What did you say? We heard it when we came in. How can you say that! I heard that you're going to sell her."

"What am I selling? What does Big Brother and Second Brother know?"

Grandpa said, "Why are you guys here? Why are you really here?"

"Let's go in and talk." Eldest Grandpa and Second Grandpa called out again, and the few of them went inside to talk. Only she, her father, Third Aunt Li Yan'er's eldest son, her youngest cousin, and third uncle were left behind.

No, there was still her eldest aunt who had not returned. Li Fu'er watched them.

They looked over, too.

"Father." Li Fu'er wanted to call her father.

"It's okay, Sister Fu," Second Li said.

"Second Brother," Eldest Li said. Third Li looked over.

"Big Brother, Third Brother." Second Li looked over.

"Let's talk in private." Eldest Li still wanted to talk to Second Brother and ask him questions alone. After thinking about it, he looked at Li Fu'er. It was all her fault.

Li Fu'er sensed it and knew that they blamed her!

"Big brother."

Second Li realized that Sister Fu was a little worried about her.

Li Fu'er was not afraid. She let her father go.

Her father and the others went to one side.

"Sister Fu'er."

Madam Yu opened her mouth.

Li Fu'er looked over.

Li Yan'er stared back at her.

Madam Yu was about to say something.

"Second Brother, come in too," a voice suddenly said from inside.

It was her eldest grandfather's voice. Li Fu'er looked in the direction of her father and uncle. Her father spoke to them and walked in.

His uncles followed.

Now they were really alone.

"Sister Fu, do you want to split up the family? Do you really want to split up with your father?" Madam Yu asked her again.

Li Fu'er turned to her.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Madam Yu asked again.

Li Fu'er said, "Doesn't Third Aunt want that?"

Madam Yu opened his mouth. Did she want that?

"Big sister."

Li Yan'er leaned over and leaned close to Li Fu'er affectionately. She tugged at her hand and whispered, "Let's talk quietly. I'll ask you quietly and you'll answer me quietly. As Mother asked, are you going to split up the family with Second Uncle? If you split the family up, you'll be alone. How will you live?" It will be just Second Uncle and her.

She thought about what would happen if Li Fu'er and Second Uncle had really parted ways.

They had nothing. She wondered what it would be like! It would be miserable. She half expected to see it and gloat if they did split up.

It would be a little difficult to control Li Fu'er.

Maybe it was better for the family to not split up.

"You don't want us to split up? You and Third Aunt don't want us to split up?" Li Fu'er said. She looked at the mother and daughter, her face unreadable. Didn't the entire family want her to leave?

Li Yan'er was about to say something.

"We don't have any hopes for that. You've grown up too," Madam Yu said first. "But you're very calm, Sister Fu. You're not in a hurry at all. There's no other emotion." She stared at her.

Li Yan'er nodded.

"Really?" was all Li Fu'er said.

"But you've been like this since you were a child," Madam Yu said again. She couldn't get used to looking at her.

Li Yan'er said, "Yes."

Li Fu'er faced the mother and daughter. "Should I be afraid?" They thought she was an ingrate, but hadn't they treated her badly first?

Madam Yu had yet to say anything.

"If we're going to split the family, let's split. It's better that way."

Her two cousins said, "Jinx." They looked at her.

Li Yan'er's younger brother, her youngest cousin, also nodded.

Li Fu'er turned to them.

"Stop talking." Li Yan'er stopped her cousin and the others and glared at her younger brother and the others. "Mother, younger brother."

Madam Yu looked over and opened her mouth.

"Second sister," someone wanted to say.

Li Yan'er did not look at them and immediately said, "Big Sister, ignore them. Why don't you persuade Second Uncle not to split up? We're a family. How can we split up? How good is it for a family to be together? If you and Second Uncle split up, we'll be so sad. If outsiders know, they'll also say it. I'll talk to Grandpa and Grandma." She grabbed Li Fu'er especially tightly.

Li Fu'er scoffed. "What a good family? Have you forgotten why it's like this?"

"I didn't."

Li Yan'er expected that Li Fu'er would not be so easily persuaded, but she still said that she had better not let them separate.

Madam Yu did not know what her daughter was thinking, but if her daughter was like this, then she…

"Mother, why don't we talk to Grandpa and Grandma and Second Uncle? Eldest Sister can't leave the family."

Li Yan'er turned back to her mother.

Madam Yu said, "Okay."

Li Fu'er said, "I didn't even say anything. You don't have to say anything!"

"I don't want Big Sister to suffer anymore. Big Sister, Second Uncle is alone. If you insist on splitting the family, Grandma and Grandpa will be angry and won't give you anything. How will you live? What will you do then? You've seen what Grandpa and Grandma are like." Li Yan'er was still minding her own business. She pretended not to hear and turned around again after speaking to her mother.

Li Fu'er stared at her.

Li Yan'er looked back.

Li Fu'er knew that she really did not want her to leave the family. As for why, if she were Li Yan'er, she would know.

Third Aunt probably wanted her to leave with her father, but she didn't say anything after Li Yan'er said that.

The rest responded the same.

"I really didn't expect you to really call Eldest Grandpa and the others over. At that time, Second Uncle didn't even say anything. Eldest Sister, you went too quickly. When you went to call them, I wanted to go with you, but I couldn't make it in time. Besides, everyone was here," Li Yan'er said. She had really thought about it.

She wanted to follow her and ask her.

"Li Yan'er." Li Fu'er was silent.

"Big sister." Li Yan'er stared intently at her.

Li Fu'er's hand twitched.

"Big…" Li Yan'er said.

Madam Yu saw this and helped her daughter. "Sister Fu."

Li Fu'er didn't want to talk about it anymore. She stepped aside and released her mental power inside. She wanted to see what was going on inside. A moment passed inside, and then she saw it.

Grandma and Grandpa's faces were ashen. Eldest Grandpa and Second Grandpa were listening to her father.

His father had told him why he wanted to separate the family.

Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle said nothing, occasionally interrupting.

"You guys are really something."

Finally Eldest Grandpa said something.

Soon, the group emerged.

Li Fu'er retracted her mental power. The first people to come out were her first and second grandfathers. She called out and they answered.

Then came her father and grandparents.

When she called out, what greeted her was Grandma's sharp coldness and Grandpa's coldness. Second Grandpa and Eldest Grandpa quickly looked at her with worry. Li Fu'er indicated that she was fine.

"Sister Fu." Second Grandpa and Eldest Grandpa looked at her next, wanting to say something.

Li Yan'er and the others called out.

Facing Li Yan'er and the others, Grandma and Grandpa looked much better.

Afterward, they talked about the separation.

"Grandma, Grandpa, father, Uncle, and Second Uncle, they really want to split up?" Li Yan'er asked, looking at them in anticipation.

"Yes."

When Madam Li heard this, she immediately wanted to say something.

"Alright, let's split up if you want to," Old Master Li said. As soon as he finished speaking, he brought up the matter of splitting up.

Li Yan'er said softly, "It's good that there's no distinction. We're family."

Eldest Li and Third Li actually felt that it didn't matter if they split up. Second Brother might not live as well after he left the family but they couldn't stop him.

"If you want to split it, so be it, Second Li. It's just that there's not much silver in the house."

Old Master Li looked at his second son and said, "It wasn't easy for everyone to get money. Logically speaking, we should split it into four portions. You will get one portion. There isn't much in the house. It is what it is."

If Big Brother and Second Brother weren't here, he wouldn't be like this!

"We want to stay behind to retire so we'll just give you some of the rice and grains, Second Brother." Madam Li interrupted the old man, dissatisfied with his way of sharing.

She wanted Second Brother to regret it!

She wanted Second Brother and Sister Fu to come back and beg her after splitting up.

"No one should say anything. I earned it all. I'll give it to whoever I want. Second Brother, you insisted on splitting up. This is the only way." As she spoke, she looked at Second Brother with resentment.

Second Li said nothing, knowing that his mother was sad.

Li Fu'er could tell that her eldest and second grandfather wanted to speak.

"There's a bucket missing from the house." Madam Li suddenly looked at Li Fu'er. "I don't know how it got lost. It can't be an outsider. I've been trying to find it. I wonder who the thief is!"

"My clothes and bedsheets." Li Yan'er looked over in the same way and said in a small voice. "Big Sister might not have any clothes after the family is split up. If my big sister wants them, I'll share them with her."

"Why are you sharing it with her? If someone doesn't have clothes, she can think about getting her own clothes herself. She stole yours some time ago." Madam Li interrupted Li Yan'er and pointed at Li Fu'er.

"I'll return it. Besides, I've had nothing since I was a child," Li Fu'er said lightly.

Second Li said lightly, "Mom, just give me some money."

Madam Li was about to curse.

"By the way, where's the silver and jewelry my mother left behind?" Li Fu'er took the opportunity.

"You—"
