Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1204: Uproar

"The women in the Liu Family should go outside and check the pot themselves. She took the day off to stay home. The men and children went out to earn work points, and when they come back, they are served porridge.These days, there’s no need to be so frugal. The kids are at a growing age, and even if the adults save, don’t take the savings from the children’s mouths."

Li Yungui said this and took a sip of water.

"I won’t say much more, the Second Brother is stirring things up, and Yun Qiang’s position is to split the family, while Liu Cuilan’s position is to get a divorce."

Old Mrs. Liu sat beside her daughter and slapped her daughter’s back twice forcefully.

"How old are you now? Still causing trouble? Yun Qiang treats you well; we can all see it. But you’re not content. You’re just being troublesome.

My in-law brother, this Lanzi has given birth to four sons in your family. She’s at an age now—how will she live after a divorce?"

At this moment, Li Yunqiang stood up, "It’s not Liu Cuilan who wants a divorce now; it’s me who is determined to divorce. I’ve been exhausted for so many years. When I pursued her, she told me she’d be a beast of burden at your home.

After marriage, she wanted to live a good life.

So I promised her. All these years, the household chores were done by the five of us men.

Cooking, tidying the house, feeding the pigs, washing clothes.

I, Li Yunqiang, have done it, but she thinks it’s only natural.

I accepted this, but the incidents with the corn machine, the work issues, and her indifferent attitude when I had problems—these I could not accept.

So, thinking of the children, I suggested separation. The house and money would be hers too.

But she’s still relentless, and now I truly regret it, so let’s divorce. I also want a peaceful life."

The Liu Family felt uncomfortable hearing Li Yunqiang’s words. The eldest sister-in-law of the Liu Family felt even more hatred towards her younger sister-in-law’s family, so they would cause as much trouble as they wanted, just here for the spectacle, or else why would they be here despite the fuss?

Supporting Liu Cuilan? Dream on! If she hadn’t gone back and talked nonsense, taking everything on herself, it wouldn’t have brought such shame on our family.

So when the Liu Family’s eldest brother wanted to speak, he was pulled back.

Not one of the Liu Family said a word; this was far from what Liu Cuilan expected. She had thought her family would support her. But why wasn’t there a single word?

"Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, are you just going to watch me being bullied like this?"

Old Mrs. Liu sighed, "Yun Qiang, we all know you’re good. It’s all Lanzi’s fault.

But a day as husband and wife means a hundred days of kindness, so forgive her. All these years, you know she’s just naive. You can teach her in the future." The old lady felt utterly ashamed, but what other choice was there? What would happen if they really divorced?

"Mom?" Liu Cuilan couldn’t believe it would turn out this way. How was it all her fault?

"Shut up." The fool, why couldn’t she just turn around at this point? Really wanted to slap her.

"You don’t need to say anything further. It’s better to split up than to continue like this." She wouldn’t even call her mother anymore.

The room fell silent again, with not a single sound.

Everyone could see Li Yunqiang’s resolve.

Liu the Second looked at his elder brother but saw no reaction; however, their three brothers couldn’t say nothing at all. If word got out in the future, it wouldn’t sound good.

"Yun Qiang, do you really have to be so heartless?"

Li Yunqiang didn’t even bother to explain, just nodded.

"Fine, I, Liu Cuilan, can live without you, Li Yunqiang. We’ll divorce today, I’ve had enough with you,"

Old Mrs. Liu looked at her still stubborn daughter, truly angry to death. Why couldn’t she just be sensible? Their family had come here for what?

She herself dragging them down? Truly foolish. The Li Family’s life is so good, what is she thinking?

The eldest sister-in-law of the Liu Family snickered inwardly, indeed a pig-headed person, there will definitely be a day she regrets it.

Li Yunqiang looked at the defiant Liu Cuilan and chuckled lightly, which made Liu Cuilan even angrier.

"Li Yunqiang, let’s divorce today. I won’t live with you anymore, but I don’t want this crappy house, you keep it, and you said the family has a thousand dollars, give them all to me, and I’ll leave today."

Before Li Yunqiang could say anything, Li Shuzhi objected, as part of the money was meant for his job search.

"No way, you’re leaving, so why should you take the family money, that’s for finding me a job."

Now everyone in the room, from the Li Family to the Liu Family, even Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang, utterly disapproved of Li Shuzhi.

He’s not a child anymore. He seemed unconcerned about the parent’s divorce and the family division.

In his heart, he only cared about himself.

Now everyone understood why Li Yunqiang wanted to split the family like this.

Li Yunqiang paid no attention to Li Shuzhi, "Liu Cuilan, I’ll give you at most three hundred dollars. If you agree, fine; if not, do whatever you want.

You may not care about your sons, but I still have to take care of them."

"Three hundred is not enough, at least five hundred." Liu Cuilan, no longer caring about her feelings, knew her second son was hopeless and she wasn’t stupid. She had four sons, but only the oldest was reliable.

Li Yunqiang ignored her and turned to Uncle Li.

"Uncle, I’m splitting the family now. I’ve written everything down, and I’ll press my fingerprint on it. The four of you should do it too."

He completely ignored Liu Cuilan.

Liu Cuilan wasn’t stupid and knew that if the family split, she might not even get the three hundred dollars.

"Li Yunqiang, are you really okay with watching me live alone? How will I survive without money?"

Li Yunqiang still said nothing and went back inside, shortly bringing out some ink.

This time, Liu the Second couldn’t remain silent, "Yun Qiang, Lanzi has been with you for so many years. At this point, can’t you at least do something for her?"

"Yes, Yun Qiang, even if Lanzi has been wrong, she gave birth to four of your children. You’ve been loving for all these years too, don’t be so ruthless."

Li Yunqiang closed his eyes, recalling what Liu Cuilan looked like when they first met, and their loving days together. Though he always indulged her, it was something he chose to do willingly.

"At most, any work points she earns this year will belong to her. Second brother’s job needs three hundred. We’ll have two hundred left for the four of us."

No one from the Li Family spoke; it was Li Yunqiang’s decision. Whatever he did was his own business.

Liu Cuilan saw that this was the best she could get. Asking for more was impossible. Her brothers truly were useless, offering no help at all.

At this moment, Li Yungui spoke up, "Liu Cuilan, since you don’t want the house, how will you live?"

They had already seen her selfish nature. The second brother took after her in selfishness.
