Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 193 Since we're not leaving, let's die here.

Chen Jintong and Chen Jingang were also very excited, shouting, "Get rich! Get rich! Eat meat! Eat meat!"

For the two of them, the first thing to do after getting rich was to eat meat buns until they were stuffed, every day!
Chen Jinbang said speechlessly, "Father, Mother, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and catch them."

Once we catch those two beasts, the first thing we'll do is, of course, pay them their tuition.

Why are you eating meat buns? You're so ignorant.

Meat buns are gone once they're eaten, but fame and official rank are priceless. Once he becomes an official, countless people will naturally rush to curry favor with him.

At that time, he won't care about bird's nest or abalone, and he won't even look at meat buns.

The members of the Chen family's eldest branch were all fantasizing about their bright future when a sudden burst of sneer came from the side.

"What fortune? I saw this animal first."

It was Chen Ertong's voice.

His tall figure blended in with the cows and horses, making it impossible to tell which were the livestock.

Wang Shuixia said, "We were the ones who saw it first; there were five of us."

Only after she reminded him did Chen Dagang realize that his second brother had come alone.

I imagine my second sister-in-law is too unwell to go out.

He chuckled and said, "Second brother, we're all family, why be so particular? It doesn't matter who gets rich."

Chen Ertong wasn't buying it and said directly, "Since that's the case, then let my family get rich."

Wang Shuixia rolled her eyes in the darkness. They hadn't even separated yet, and the second son was already no longer on their side, only thinking about his own little family of three.

Chen Jinbang said, "Second Uncle, only when I pass the imperial examination can our Chen family become very wealthy."

The implication was that he was the most important person in the family, and the cow and horse should naturally be sold first to support his education.

Chen Ertong said impatiently, "Nephew, your second aunt is pregnant and needs to eat well."

He planned to sell the cow and horse and buy some meat for Feng Yuzhu to help her recover.

Everyone has their own plans for the cattle and horses in front of them, and no one is willing to back down.

Just as the two families were arguing fiercely, a shout suddenly came from nearby.

"Useless thing, what are you arguing about? If you keep arguing, someone will find out."

It was Chen Bingxiao's voice.

He had just arrived when he heard his sons arguing, and he was at his wit's end.

More sounds came from the darkness.

Zhang Junniang said, "I'll take these oxen and horses with me."

Zhao grabbed her hand in the dark: "Where are you taking me?"

“We’re taking them to sell, because Gan’er and Yong’er still have to go to school.”

Going to school costs money; it costs one or two taels of silver a month.

Zhao retorted angrily, "What's the point of going to school? Eating is the most important thing."

Zhang Junniang is completely brainless; she only thinks about her two sons and doesn't care about the lives of anyone else in the family.

The whole family was surprised that other people would actually come over in the rain.

The three families started arguing and then came to blows.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Jinbang tried to lead the ox away, but the ox stood still on all fours and wouldn't move.

No matter how much he pulled or hit her, she wouldn't budge an inch.

Chen Jinbang couldn't resist it, so he could only pull the horse next to him.

The horse wasn't as good-natured as the ox. It neighed and kicked Chen Jinbang with its hoof, sending him sprawling to the ground.

He clutched his leg, crying out in pain, "Mother, Mother, my leg hurts."

Wang Shuixia was busy fighting with Zhao Shi and Zhang Junniang. The three of them were pulling each other's hair, scratching each other's necks, and fighting fiercely.

She had no time to pay attention to her son, and she didn't get the better of her mother-in-law and her third brother's wife either.

Chen Bingxiao took a deep drag on his pipe and slowly walked towards the oxen and horses.

“A bunch of useless people, this family still depends on me.”

He went straight past the cow to take the horse, and as usual, the horse shoved him without hesitation. Chen Bingxiao felt as if his bones were cracked; his leg, which was already injured that morning, was now in excruciating pain.

He had no mother to call, so he could only call out to his wife: "Old woman, my legs hurt, they hurt so much."

Zhao ignored him.

The three daughters of the Chen family were busy fighting, while the men went around to the cows and horses to seek attention.

They all wanted to secretly take it away and sell it to realize their dreams of getting rich.

Although the money from selling a cow and a horse is not much, it is a huge sum of money for the Chen family.

With that money, you can get rich and reach the pinnacle of life.

With each dragging, the horse grew increasingly irritable, knocking down several people in succession.

Even the usually good-tempered bull was angered, and its hard horns sent Chen Jintong and Chen Jingang flying.

A group of men lay scattered on the ground, groaning and groaning.

The three women, who had been arguing, finally noticed something was wrong. They let go of each other and rushed to help their husbands.

Zhao cursed, "Those two beasts are practically demons!"

The ox and the horse listened to her cursing without moving.

Wang Shuixia boldly stroked the cow's head and said, "Good boy, come home with me. I'll give you lots of grass to eat. You'll get rained on here, but you won't get rained on when you come home with me."

The cow mooed twice, took a few steps back, and remained motionless with its big eyes wide open.

The ox and the horse were adamant; they preferred to get soaked in the rain at Li Ruru's house rather than go to Chen's house.

"Dad, what should we do?" Chen Dagang asked.

"Grandpa, what should we do?" Chen Jinbang asked.

The whole family's eyes were fixed on Chen Bingxiao in the darkness.

Chen Bingxiao was thin and wiry, and his back was hunched over, so everyone could only see a dark figure.

He could only determine his location by the faint smell of smoke in the air and the tiny sparks flickering on his pipe.

Chen Bingxiao once again disappointed everyone, spreading his hands and saying, "These two beasts won't leave, what can I do?"

Seeing that his grandfather was useless and the whole family was about to give up, Chen Jinbang gritted his teeth and said, "Since they won't leave, then let them die here."

Anyway, Li Ruru's house is at the foot of the mountain, and not many people come around.

Fang Xingzhi probably wasn't home either, otherwise, with such a commotion, a normal person would have gone out to check by now.

A golden opportunity presented itself; slaughter the cattle and horses on the spot.

We can make a good amount of money selling the meat in the county town tomorrow morning.

At worst, if no one buys them, they can eat them themselves.

There's enough meat for them to eat until winter.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all praised it.

Wang Shuixia: "He's truly my son; he's so smart."

Chen Dagang: "Perfect timing, I have a knife on me."

As he spoke, he pulled a small knife from his waist and handed it to Chen Jinbang.

Chen Jinbang thought it was a huge knife, so he picked it up and touched it.

His father gave him only a small dagger, and he asked disappointedly, "Is this knife any good?"

“Why not? If you can’t do it, let me do it!” Chen Dagang took back the knife and walked up to the ox himself.

He chuckled sinisterly, "It's your fault for not coming with me, so killing you wouldn't be too much for me. Sacrificing you to save my whole family, you've done a great deed."

If the cow could understand him, it would probably jump up and curse.

If you want to kill or torture someone, just do it cleanly. Stop being so indecisive and trying to portray yourself as a good person. You're really hypocritical.

Of course, the cow couldn't understand what he was saying, but it wasn't stupid either; it sensed the murderous aura emanating from the person in front of it.

The cow mooed twice and took a few steps back.

It didn't want to die, and it especially didn't want to die at the hands of this bunch of cowards.
