On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 264 This matter is not easy to handle.

(Thanks to Lingfeng Yixue for casting 5 monthly tickets.)
But for Li Wangjin, the matter of dividing the family property had been on his mind for several days.

On the first night, while accompanying Hu Zi in the medical clinic, Li Wangjin had this idea in his mind.

Even though Dr. Jin said that Tiger was brought in in time, the wound was saved because Li's mother applied some wound medicine, which had a certain hemostatic effect.

However, in the dim candlelight, Li Wangjin looked at Huzi, whose pale face was covered and who was fast asleep with his eyes closed, and his heart still ached.

At that time, he even had a thought: if anything happened to Hu Zi, he would go back and beat up his second brother!
Eighth Uncle kicked his son, so he went back and beat Eighth Uncle's son!
At the same time, Li Wangjin also harbored hatred towards his Eighth Uncle!

He didn’t hate his eighth uncle for treating him like a donkey; he hated his eighth uncle for being so cruel to his only son!
That kick truly showed no regard for family ties whatsoever!
But this still didn't make Li Wangjin want to separate the family. After all, people in this world don't want to separate their families. If they do, they have to pay more taxes, they won't have anyone to help them make a living, and outsiders will look down on them.

However, what Hu Zi said when he woke up the next day gave Li Wangjin this idea.

At that time, Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian bought meat pies and a bag of pastries on the street and brought them back to the clinic. These were for Li Wangjin, Wang Xiangxing, and Huzi, who stayed at the clinic.

Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian stayed at an inn next to the clinic that night. Knowing that Li Wangjin and his wife probably didn't have much money, Li Shiyue bought some food for them.

As for pastries, these sweet treats were naturally meant to appease Tiger.

When Hu Zi heard from Li Shiyue that the bag of pastries was bought for him, his first reaction was not to reach out and eat, but to ask Li Shiyue, "Sister Shiyue, are these all for me?"

Can I not give Lai Lai Fu any?

Li Shiyue still remembered the children in the village. She knew that "Laixi" and "Laifu" were the children of her eighth great-uncle's youngest son, and were the nicknames of her eighth great-uncle's other two grandsons.

Li Shiyue stepped forward, gently pinched Hu Zi's cheek, and said with a smile, "This is something I bought especially for Hu Zi, you don't need to give it to anyone else!"

"Ah! Sister October, you're so kind!"

If you say it's for Lai Xi Lai Fu to eat, then I won't get a single bite!

Tiger's words were surprising. How could he share this with others while not being able to eat a single bite himself?

Wang Xiangxing carefully asked Hu Zi what he meant by what he said.
Only then did they learn from Hu Zi that his eighth uncle always prevented Hu Zi from eating when Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing were not at home. Whether it was candy or cakes, Hu Zi was never allowed to eat anything.

What Wang Xiangxing found most unbearable was what Hu Zi said: "When it was my birthday, Grandma brought me some malt sugar, but Lai Xi snatched it all away."

I went to talk to Grandpa, and he told me that Lai-hsi should eat it, and I shouldn't eat it.

Mother, I only licked that maltose candy, I haven't even taken a bite yet!

This made Wang Xiangxing so angry that her eyes turned red. When she asked Hu Zi why he didn't tell her that Lai Xi had taken the candy, Hu Zi's words made Li Wangjin's face turn black.

“My grandfather wouldn’t let me tell him. He said if I told my mother and father, he would beat me and wouldn’t give me any food.”

Mother, I dare not tell you, but Grandpa's stick hurt me terribly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangxing could no longer bear it. She turned her back to Hu Zi and burst into tears.

Wang Xiangxing used to think that her husband was not favored by her eighth uncle, but Hu Zi was, after all, her eighth uncle's grandson. She thought that at most, her eighth uncle would not let Hu Zi eat a few bites of meat. Little did she know that her eighth uncle would beat the child behind her back!
It was around that time that Li Wangjin, seeing Hu Zi carefully eating cakes and Wang Xiangxing turning away and sobbing, began to have the idea of ​​dividing the family property.

After pondering this matter for several days, Li Wangjin finally spoke his mind in front of Li Shiyue and the others.

When Li Shiyue saw the hopeful look in Li Wangjin's eyes, she didn't speak immediately; instead, she remained silent.

After a few moments of silence, Li Shiyue, with a stern face, said to Li Wangjin, who was looking over, "This matter is not easy to handle." Indeed, it was not easy!

The division of family property involves issues such as real estate, land, money, support for the elderly, and how to care for and pay for their medical expenses.

In addition to these, there are also issues such as taxes and corvée labor after establishing a separate household.

And the most important problem is that the head of the Li clan is not Li Shiyue!

The current clan head of the Li clan is Li Youfu, and the next clan head should be Li Shiyang.

Both of them are alive and well.

Li Shiyue was willing to confront the old forces led by Li Youfu and his eighth uncle for his own interests and the right to speak.

As for Li Wangjin?
Just because he said a few words for Li Shiyue in the ancestral hall, does that mean Li Shiyue has to take care of all the big and small things for him?
Alternatively, it could be said that for Li Shiyue, it would be a losing proposition to reignite the conflict with his eighth uncle for the sake of Li Wangjin.

Li Shiyue was willing to listen to Li Shiyang and reconcile with the old clan forces represented by Li Youfu and Eighth Uncle.
That's because Li Youfu and his group had already recognized her as the leader of Liujiatun, giving her absolute say in major events in Liujiatun, allowing her to establish her authority in Liujiatun, and protecting the interests of herself and her "own people".

That's why she's willing to reconcile.

Otherwise, why would she give a smile to Li Youfu and her eighth uncle, who repeatedly provoked and schemed against her?
In Liujiatun, what Li Shiyue wanted was her position and authority as the leader, as well as absolute power over the future planning of Liujiatun;

As for the internal conflicts within Liujiatun, or even within the Li clan, she didn't really want to get involved.

Li Shiyue was already worried enough about her own family and the entire Liujiatun village.

Where would she find the time and leisure to solve everyone's problems?

Unless they are "one of her own" like Li Wangshui, Ma Zi, Wei Zi, and Li Shiliang, who have maintained a friendly relationship with her beforehand, have gone through life and death together, and share common interests and goals, she is not willing to solve some problems for them or give them a good way to face difficulties.

And Li Wangjin?

He's really not qualified.

Li Shiyue felt that she had already done enough for Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing out of consideration for their shared clan.

Her family contributed money and effort, and she and Li Qiutian have been running around in the cold December weather for the sake of Huzi these past few days.

Isn't that enough?
Moreover, if Li Shiyue were to negotiate, or rather confront, Li Youfu in person for Li Wangjin's sake, and demand that Li Youfu divide the family property for Li Wangjin, it would be disadvantageous for her.

Li Youfu would inevitably see Li Shiyue as challenging his final authority as the head of the Li clan. This would be very detrimental to the seemingly peaceful and united appearance of Liujiatun, and would shatter the hope that Li Shiyue had painstakingly built up for everyone to work together to live a good life, causing unpredictable cracks in her future plans.

Before we met, when Li Wangming wanted to separate from his father, did he go to Li Youfu instead?

Therefore, the key to Li Wangjin's desire to divide the family lies with the clan leader, Li Youfu!

Chapter 262, I only wrote a tiny bit, it really is just a little bit of what happened in bed!

It then flagged my content as "risky".

I'm truly impressed!
