Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1053: Splitting the Family

Although Mr. He agreed, he requested to make the call in front of them, as the matter needed to be handled swiftly.

The Cui Family had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, He Jinxuan and He Yuejin accompanied Cui Ziqiang out the door.

Once the matter was settled, the He Family left the Cui Family and warned them that if anyone dared trouble He Yanqing, they wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.

Though the elderly Cui couple was unhappy, they knew they couldn’t blame their second daughter-in-law.

As soon as the He Family left, Cui Yinhua said sarcastically, "Second Brother, they went too far. Isn’t this bullying?

They know Big Brother and Third Brother aren’t in Sanyuan. Now that you’ve divided the family, what happens if something happens to Mom and Dad?"

He Yanqing, who was coming back from the kitchen with a kettle of water, overheard this and got angry. If it weren’t for her parents’ earlier advice, she would have confronted Cui Yinhua long ago.

She threw the iron kettle she was holding into the yard: "Cui Yinhua, you’ve made your bed, and now you blame my family?

The in-laws aren’t just our responsibility. If you weren’t constantly interfering, would we have needed to split the family? If there’s blame, it lies with you, not us."

After speaking, she returned to her room.

Cui Yinhua wanted to curse back, but Father Cui and Mrs. Cui stopped her.

They understood that even with the family split, they’d still have to rely on their second son and his wife. If they antagonized the second daughter-in-law, it would only cause them more trouble in the end.

However, they were wrong. Ever since Cui Yinhua misled the child, causing Chunwang to make He Yanqing lose a child, the matter had already alienated He Yanqing. Although she had been holding back due to her health, she never forgave them.

The other two Cui sons returned quickly, arriving before ten the next day.

The He Family men were also all present.

The division of assets proceeded quickly. Anyway, He Yanqing and her family just contributed living expenses, and she didn’t care how the in-laws’ money was divided; this was something discussed with her family beforehand.

Aside from Cui Ziqiang and He Yanqing, no one in the Cui Family really wanted the division. This meant in the future, they couldn’t push all responsibilities onto Cui Ziqiang and his wife; everyone had their own agenda.

But He Yanqing had already thought it through. Since the family was divided, things needed to be clear to avoid future issues.

Over the years, the elderly couple had saved over six hundred and seventy dollars through marriages and such. Father Cui initially planned to give each family a hundred, leaving seventy for themselves, but the eldest and fourth daughters-in-law opposed this.

The eldest daughter-in-law said, "If the daughters also get a hundred like us, then they should also share in the responsibility of supporting Mom and Dad."

At this, Cui Yinhua was displeased: "Eldest Sister-in-law, you are dual-income earners, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t depend on sons in old age? Mom and Dad have three sons. Why drag us married daughters into it?"

The eldest daughter-in-law got angry: "You’ve been married for years and still bring your kids to eat at your parents’ place. Do you even feel any shame saying this?

Besides, if it weren’t for you, would this family have been divided?

Always causing trouble, really taking liberties."

At these words, Cui Yinhua’s husband, who had taken leave from work to rush over upon hearing the news, blushed with embarrassment, wishing he could find a hole to disappear into.

Father Cui saw that this was going nowhere and quickly changed his mind: "Stop arguing, listen to me."
