Chapter 241:  Chapter 239: Dispute Over the Division of the Old House, Elderly Mr. Di’s Decision

“Puff! Cough cough cough…”

This made Liu Sisi cough so hard that tears came out of her eyes, and she finally stopped coughing and put down her chopsticks.

“Is the old house really going to be divided? Can the father and mother agree to this?”

If the family really splits, it must be Ms. Zhao following Di Ah-bao and Elderly Mr. Di following Di Gaoyuan, right?

“How could they possibly agree? Your mother-in-law absolutely doesn’t agree! She even said that if anyone mentions this again, she’ll fight them to the death.”

Guihua could see the situation clearly: “But this is also within reason, after all, she is a stepmother. If the family really splits, she can only follow Di Ah-bao. What kind of future can Di Ah-bao have? She knows her own children. It would be strange if she agreed.”

Liu Sisi shook her head: “I don’t think this matter will end so simply.”

The corner of her mouth involuntarily lifted up high.

As expected, that afternoon, Di Wei ran over crying all the way.

“Third Aunt, something happened to my grandfather at home! Boo-hoo…”

“What happened?”

“Blood… so much blood! Boo-hoo…” Di Wei sobbed incessantly.

Liu Sisi’s heart raced, and she didn’t care about anything else. She threw down the work in her hands, turned around and ran outside, quickly heading towards the old house.

“Sisi, slow down, be careful of slippery roads in the rain!” Guihua called out loudly from behind.

Liu Sisi disregarded everything and ran quickly. When she arrived, even Mr. Land Officer had arrived. The old house’s courtyard was packed with fellow villagers, all craning their necks to look inside. Liu Sisi struggled to squeeze into the center of the crowd.

Elderly Mr. Di sat in a disheveled state under the eaves, leaning against a pillar, his face gray and defeated. He didn’t say anything when he saw Liu Sisi come in.

Di Gaoyuan and Di Ah-bao, the two brothers, glared at each other like fighting cocks. Ms. Wang and Ms. Zhao standing nearby had clearly fought physically and were in a mess.

On the contrary, the bride Ms. Xin stood there softly and weakly, her face like a flower. She was always eye-catching wherever she went. At the moment, she sobbed quietly with her handkerchief, looking pitiful with her tear-stained face.

The scene was oddly quiet.

As soon as Land Officer saw Liu Sisi, his eyes lit up!

“Sisi, where’s Third Son Di? How come I don’t see him coming?”

Liu Sisi quickly greeted Mr. Land Officer: “Your Honor, Ye Lei went to check the traps on the mountain early this morning. You know, he’s been injured. It’s just that it’s getting colder now, and there’s less game every day. Our family still has a long winter to get by, so he went to see the traps on the mountain to see if he could catch a wild pheasant or something.”

This made Mr. Land Officer’s face slightly better: “At least, there’s someone reliable!”

After saying that, he glanced at everyone again: “What do you all think of my proposal just now?”

Ms. Wang beside him couldn’t help but speak up: “Father, our Second family branch agrees to support you. But you are not only Di Gaoyuan’s father, you also have to be supported by the Third family branch. Why should everything be pushed to us, the Second family branch?”

Mr. Land Officer frowned, but before he could speak, Ms. Zhao next to him let out a furious yell and jumped up from the ground.

“Ms. Wang, let me tell you! Over the years, Di Gaoyuan has grown up with me, and I’ve worked hard to support him! You want to just leave me behind? No way!”

This shout frightened Mr. Land Officer!

“Ah! What a shrew! How can you talk like that? Huh!”
