The daily routine of the mistress of the Hou family training her husband

Chapter 119 Separation
"I will go with you."

When this matter was mentioned, Chen Zhi's face darkened a little.

Xu Shuhe frowned, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you shouldn't move. I can go by myself. They don't dare to do anything to me now, don't worry."

"I wasn't by your side before. Now that I'm back, there's no reason for me to ask you to rush ahead. Just help me up. I can still walk." Chen Zhi's face showed some heartache.

He really couldn't imagine how hard Xu Shuhe had worked to rescue him during this period of time.

"And there are some things I want to make clear to them." Chen Zhi's eyes were cold and fierce, and then he laughed sarcastically, "Since I woke up, my good father and fourth brother have never come to ask about me."

After hearing what Chen Zhi said, Xu Shuhe no longer insisted and nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, the two went to Chen Huaiqian's yard together.

"The third young master is here?" Chen Huaiqian frowned immediately when he heard the servant's message.

The maid nodded, "Yes, she came with the Third Young Master's wife."

Hearing this, Chen Huaiqian was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Call him in."

"Third brother, your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you coming out? Sit down quickly." Seeing Chen Zhi, Chen Huaiqian still maintained a somewhat fatherly appearance.

Chen Zhi's expression was cold and distant. "No need. I came here just to talk to you. There's no need to sit down."

Hearing the change in his tone, Chen Huaiqian had already realized that his third son, who had always been the most obedient and dull, was no longer the same as before.

So he glanced at Chen Zhi and Xu Shuhe, then took a deep breath and said, "Okay, go ahead."

In fact, he had already guessed what Chen Zhi wanted to say, but he didn't want to mention it himself and still wanted to avoid it.

"Dad, I've been thinking a lot about my son's misfortune. I think it's better for our family to separate, so that each of us can have some room to move forward." Chen Zhi got straight to the point. "It just so happens that you've already told Shu He that you want to separate the family. I think we should do it as soon as possible."

Chen Zhi spoke very bluntly, and Chen Huaiqian felt very uncomfortable listening to it.

The original idea of ​​dividing the family was just to deceive Xu Shuhe. Now that it had to be fulfilled, he was of course unwilling to do so.

Especially since some of the family property was given to Chen Zhi as a bonus, Chen Huaiqian was even more unhappy.

Now, in Chen Huaiqian's heart, only his youngest son Chen Xun is of the same mind as him. Chen Xun is also a scholar and has a good chance of passing the imperial examination and becoming an official in the future. If it comes down to it, he most wants to leave the extra property to Chen Xun.

As for the second brother Chen Jin who is still in prison, he is reluctant to abandon him completely just because of the blood relationship between father and son.

"Your injury hasn't healed fully yet, so it's better to postpone the division of the family for a while. The second brother hasn't come back yet, so it's better for all three of you brothers to get together and discuss it." Chen Huaiqian wanted to delay.

This performance was exactly what Xu Shuhe had guessed.

"The list of division of the family property was drawn up by my father-in-law. Whether my second brother is here or not, the decision will naturally be made by you, father-in-law." Xu Shuhe nodded.

"Since Dad has already divided it, the sons naturally believe that Dad is fair. I'm sure that even if Second Brother is not here, he will not question Dad's intentions." Chen Huaiqian also complimented him, and then coughed lightly, "Besides, recuperation requires concentration, and the sons cannot concentrate living in this mansion."

Chen Huaiqian felt a tightness in his chest after hearing the first few words, and the second few words finally made him angry.

"What do you mean? Is there someone in this mansion trying to harm you?!"

"Whether someone wants to harm my son or not, doesn't your father know it?" Facing his anger, Chen Zhi did not waver, and his face remained cold. "Some things don't need to be said too clearly, so as not to completely damage the harmony of the family." If Chen Zhi shouted, Chen Huaiqian would continue to be angry, but Chen Zhi's calm look at this moment was like a basin of cold water poured over his head, making him short of breath and speechless. His lips moved for a while, but in the end, no word came out.

After a pause, he whispered again, "If you move out with injuries like this, how will outsiders view our Chen family?"

"Everyone in the city knows about what happened in our Chen family. If you really care about your face, then there is no need to say more. It will be more stable if we divide the family earlier. You don't need to mention what my second and fourth brothers did. You know it all. If I continue to stay at home with this anger, I'm afraid it will cause more unrest in the family. My second brother is fine, but my fourth brother hasn't married yet. If you insist on tying us brothers together, I don't know which girl would be willing to marry in and become a sister-in-law to my second sister-in-law who murdered my brothers and sisters."

Knowing that the person Chen Huaiqian cares about the most now is Chen Xun, he directed every word towards Chen Xun.

Sure enough, considering this level, Chen Huaiqian's expression suddenly changed.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Xu Shuhe, hesitant to speak.

Xu Shuhe naturally understood, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't spread anything that shouldn't be said."

This refers to the fact that Chen Xun designed to destroy her innocence and drive her out of the Chen family.

After receiving this reply, Chen Huaiqian breathed a sigh of relief, but he pursed his lips and whispered, "Third brother, you also know that your fourth brother is not married yet. Now that this incident happened, the family business has suffered a lot of losses, and it has cost a lot of money to manage it."

"I don't care how my second and fourth brothers divide it. Dad, just give me one third of the things. I don't want anything more." Chen Zhi understood his thoughts very well.

This is naturally what Chen Huaiqian wanted to hear.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Things had developed to this point, and separation was inevitable. Since he had already gotten what he wanted, he had no choice but to nod his head.

"Okay, then it's up to you. Invite the elders of the clan to be witnesses tomorrow. If you want to divide the family, then do it."

"Thank you for your concern, Dad." Chen Zhi said politely.

After they finished speaking, the couple was about to leave when Chen Huaiqian suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up and called Xu Shuhe.

"Third wife, the list in your hand!"

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I will ask someone to send it over later." Xu Shuhe said.

According to the list in her hand, Chen Zhi received the largest share of the family property, so Chen Huaiqian naturally didn't want to make any mistakes.

"Okay, okay, you guys go back." Chen Huaiqian still looked a little embarrassed.

The two ignored him and left.

Watching them walk away, Chen Huaiqian seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He slumped in his chair, his face numb and his eyes empty.

He had been so proud for so long, but he never thought that his family would become a joke in the entire Qizhou city.
In the afternoon, after Chen Xun came back from the academy, Chen Huaiqian told him about this.

Chen Xun naturally had no objection. He was very annoyed right now and didn't want to dwell on these trivial matters that made him be ridiculed openly or secretly by his classmates.

So the next day, Chen Huaiqian invited several elders from the Chen family to witness the division of the family.

There were a few elders in the clan who were harsh in their words and used filial piety to pressure others, scolding Chen Zhi and Xu Shuhe. However, Xu Shuhe only needed to say a few words to silence them, and they all gave in.

After all, this time it was the couple who suffered a great injustice, and even though Chen Huaiqian was a father, he was not in the right at all.

So the family was finally divided. Xu Shuhe ordered people to start packing up early in the morning and move out within three days.
