If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Lai's eyes flickered as she whispered, "But that silver belongs to your eldest brother. His back hasn't healed yet, so he can't go out to work. He relies on this silver for medical treatment and medicine. And your eldest sister-in-law is a hot-tempered woman. If she knew about this..."

Qin Anqi was impatient, "It's been so long and it's still not healed? Then can it be cured by seeing a doctor, taking medicine, and spending more money?"

He sighed, "Besides, as the eldest brother, isn't it natural for him to support his younger brother's education? I haven't spent a penny of his money for all these years. Now that my son has reached a critical moment, isn't it natural for the eldest brother to take out some money?"

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by right? Who do you think you are?!"

A loud shout suddenly came from behind.

Lai looked back and saw her eldest daughter-in-law's face twisted with anger. She was immediately frightened and short of breath. She left Qin Anqi and said, "I'll go boil some water."

He just ran away.

The eldest sister-in-law Wang put her hands on her hips, glared angrily, and spit directly on Qin Anqi's face, "You are at least educated. I think what my eldest sister said is right. The books you read have become a dog's stomach. You haven't grown any human intestines at all!"

Qin Anqi was so angry that his face turned blue. "You, you, are rude and barbaric. You are really disgracing yourself. If you weren't my sister-in-law..."

Wang grabbed the broom standing beside her and rushed over, "Look, I'm your sister-in-law. How dare you hit me?"

"What do you mean you didn't spend a cent of your elder brother's money? Your elder brother hasn't treated you unfairly over the years. What you wear, what you eat and use every day, which one of them wasn't earned by your elder brother?"

"If you want to learn from that beast who kills people and steals their wealth, you have to see if I am that female Bodhisattva!"

"Your elder brother is still lying in bed and can't get up, and you are so heartless that you won't treat him. I'm watching today. Whoever dares to use my money, I'll spit on him!"

Wang spat a mouthful of thick phlegm directly on Qin Anqi's face, and then shouted in the direction where Lai fled: "I will tear off the roof of your house and make your whole family live in unrest!"

Qin Anqi felt so disgusted that he almost vomited.

He quickly took out a snow-white handkerchief and wiped his face, then rolled it up into a ball and threw it aside, muttering, "Shrew! You are totally unreasonable!"

Seeing Wang rushing towards him again with a furious look in her eyes and a broom in her hand, he was so scared that he ran away quickly.

It’s true, marrying a bad wife!

Why did my brother marry such a shrew?

Lai was listening to the noise outside. She was trembling as she was carrying a handful of firewood to the stove when she suddenly heard her eldest daughter-in-law shout, "Mom!"

Lai's hand trembled, and the firewood fell outside the stove. He didn't bother to pick it up and ran out quickly. He stood at the door of the kitchen and asked, "Hey, what's the matter?"

Wang stood in the middle of the yard with a broom, stroking her scattered hair, and said with her neck stiff, "Let's split up! Zhu'er's father was injured this time, and the master gave him twenty taels of silver."

"You have already spent five taels. We want the remaining ten taels. The east room belongs to us. From now on, we will each cook our own food and eat our own meals."

Lai was definitely unwilling and said timidly: "Oh, how can we reach the stage of splitting up the family..."

"Are we going to split it or not?!"

Wang suddenly exploded and kicked the wooden barrel next to her away. "Don't think I don't know what you've been planning all day. Aren't you just counting on your second son to pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family? Bah! You pass the exam every year but never pass, and you still have the nerve to brag about it!"

She pointed to the north room and said, "There are two useless people in this room now. You and your father will support one, and I will support Zhuer's father myself. If you don't agree, fine, I will go to the Tongxiang County Office to file a complaint tomorrow."

"Our Zhuer's father has been injured for two months, and he has only been given the medicine prescribed by the doctor hired by the master's family."

"You take the money, but you don't provide medical treatment or prescriptions, and you spend all day filling a bottomless hole."

"Then Qin Anqi is your son, but Qin Anzheng is not your son?"

Wang suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, it's OK if mother doesn't want to divide the family. From now on, I will be the head of this family and I will be in charge of the money. If anyone disagrees..."

She pounded the broom hard and shouted loudly, "You want to learn from that heartless beast, counting on the money my man has earned from his life to support you? Bah! Tomorrow I'll take my father's bone-chopping knife and kill them all!"

Lai stood at the door of the kitchen, trembling like a sieve, while the old man and the eldest brother in the north room were silent.

Qin Anqi rushed in from the courtyard gate and shouted, "Let's divide it!"

He looked at Lai and said, "Mother, since my eldest sister-in-law is willing to divide the family, then let's do it! When my son passes the imperial examination, he will earn money to support you two."

After the family property was divided and he received the money, he could pay one month's rent first.

*

The second day was the anniversary of Qin Jingyuan and his wife.

All the men and women of the Qin clan who were at home gathered at the ancestral temple to prepare sacrificial offerings and paper money.

Aunt Qin whispered to her aunt, "Hey, sister-in-law, have you heard? The third family in the west split up last night."

The eldest aunt curled her lips and said, "I heard about it. How could I not hear about it? It was my father-in-law who presided over the division of the family property. The eldest daughter-in-law is ambitious, so she took ten taels of silver, two quilts, and a small bag of wheat flour."

"They divided up the east room and the half-acre of sandy land in the depression. After the division, the eldest daughter-in-law locked the door, found a cart, and took An Zheng back to her parents' home last night."

"The third couple made the wrong decision. Without An Zheng's wife to support them from head to toe, they will face a difficult time ahead."

Fubao quickly told Qin Shu about this.

Qin Shu knelt on the mat with her hands clasped together. She waited until the incense in the incense burner had evaporated into ashes before she kowtowed, stood up and walked out of the ancestral hall.

From a distance, I could see the gossip queen, Qin Anqi's sister-in-law Wang Cuicui, squatting beside her aunt and folding paper strings.

The eldest aunt asked Wang, "Why are you here? Don't you have to take care of the child and his father?"

Wang Cuicui was in a good mood after the family was divided. "At Zhuer's grandfather's house. My father is taking care of them. I am here to help out today."

An auntie next to him smiled and said, "There are so many people, there's no need, just take care of your side."

Wang Cuicui spoke clearly and crisply, "How can that be possible? In the past few years when the harvest was bad, our family received a lot of help from uncle and aunt."

"In just one day, how many things can't be postponed?"

But Qin Anqi and his parents did not come.

Wang Cuicui smiled disdainfully, "We can't control others, we just have to do our part. Some people eat and use other people's things, and when they eat and use them too much, they think it's their due."

"But that's not the truth, what do you think, aunt?"

Qin Shu suddenly remembered that in the past few years when she followed her parents back to their tribe to celebrate the New Year, she always received some food.

Sometimes it is pork dumplings, sometimes it is bacon, and sometimes it is marinated pig's head.

In fact, there is no shortage of these things in the house, but every time my parents receive them, they will solemnly place them on the New Year’s Eve dinner table.

It turns out that although these things are insignificant, they are a very rare and sincere reward.
