The living room fell silent.

Su Bingcheng opened the property ownership certificate. "Normally, your mother and I should live in a retirement home, but your mother grew up in this kind of small house. She lives here to remember your grandparents, and to wait until we pass away..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "This house will be handed over to Chengzhou."

"What?!" Su Ding and Fan Biyun exclaimed at the same time, and even Wang Gaihua clenched her hands, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Deng Jing was also somewhat surprised.

Indeed, there is no family that has split up like the Su family.

The son gets the smaller share, and the grandson gets the larger share.

Su Jue turned her head to look at him, "If you like villas, I'll..."

He seemed to know that he might never get a house like that in his lifetime, and after a pause, he said, "I'll try to get a bigger and better house in the future."

Deng Jing hummed in response, her expression indifferent.

She was also unsettled, but it was exactly what her father-in-law had said: these were their things, and they could give them to whomever they wanted.

They accepted it, but Su Ding's family could not.

Su Ding looked at his father, "Dad, I know I've done a lot of wrong things before, and you and Mom don't approve of me as your son, but you can't be so biased in your actions, can you?"

"If you don't like Fan Biyun, don't like the Fan family, fine, I don't care if I get a divorce. But Su Ming and Su Lei are your own grandsons. You'd rather give the house to someone with a different surname than think about your two grandsons. Is that how a grandfather should act?"

Fan Biyun's expression kept changing, turning from pale to green.

She had no objection to Su Ding fighting for the house, but she firmly disagreed with the divorce.

Su Bingcheng said, "You're forty years old. Whether you get a divorce or not is your decision. I can't interfere."

I've hit you, scolded you, and tried to reason with you calmly before, but you wouldn't listen.

Today we're separating the family property, and now both of your younger brothers are here. Let me say it again: you accused me of favoritism, and I have indeed been biased. If you think about it carefully, your mother and I have spent the most money and the most effort on you.

Su Jue and Su Lang never caused us any worry about their studies or work. Your job was bought by us, the old couple, with our money, right?

Your eldest sister took care of Su Lang a lot. She also took care of you and Su Jue when you were little. There was nothing she could do when Su Jue wasn't home. You and that beast surnamed Jiang worked in the same factory. Why didn't you think about taking care of Cheng Zhou back then?

Su Lang beat up that bastard surnamed Jiang back then, and what did you, as the older brother, do? Last time I went to see you, you were still having dinner with that Jiang guy, weren't you?"

Su Ding's lips twitched. "You and Uncle Jiang are comrades-in-arms, what can't you talk things out? Besides, Jiang Guoliang is my superior, what good would it do me to offend him?"

Su Bingcheng raised his hand, "I don't want to argue with you about these things today. Your mother and I may have done some things wrong, but as of today, we can't make up for anything."

"The house is settled then. Take this money back. If you need anything in the future, just write to us. Aunt Yu will take care of us; you don't even need to come to our door."

That's a really harsh statement.

It doesn't look like a family separation at all; it looks like a complete break in ties.

Su Jue said with a wry smile, "Dad, I'm the most unfilial son. What kind of father won't let me visit when I come back in two years?"

Su Bingcheng's expression softened a bit. "You should try to come back to work and make it up to your wife and children. Your mother and I don't blame you; we're proud of you. If we really miss you, we'll come stay at your house for a few days."

Su Jue's job is publicly stated as geological exploration, which often requires him to go to places like dense forests and deserts, which is why he hasn't been able to come back for several years.

If we're talking about being proud of him, then that's a fair assessment.

Fan Biyun said angrily, "Deng Jing, don't you want to say anything?!"

Deng Jing said calmly, "We will listen to our parents."

"Are you out of your mind?" Fan Biyun was exasperated. Of course, she wanted to have the house all to herself, but now her in-laws seemed determined to give it to the little brat surnamed Jiang, so she wanted to get Deng Jing to join her as an ally.

As a result, Deng Jing is still the same as before, as gentle as cotton. She used to be easy to bully, but now she's just infuriating.

This is such a big house, even the factory manager doesn't live in such a nice place.

Fan Biyun was confident that since she had given birth to two grandsons for the Su family, this little villa would definitely belong to them in the future.

Now that the duck that was about to be eaten has flown away, Fan Biyun has lost all her rationality.

Su Jue stood up abruptly. "Try saying that again!"

The three Su brothers are all quite tall. Although Su Jue is thin, he can be quite frightening when he gets angry.

Fan Biyun shrank back in fright at his imposing manner, but quickly retorted defiantly, "Did I say something wrong? Are you and Deng Jing both idiots? This house is so big, why should it be given to Jiang Chengzhou as a child?"

Jiang Chengzhou felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He doesn't want a house at all. He doesn't live in the capital, so what would he need a house for?

Su Jue's focus wasn't on the house either. "Apologize to Deng Jing for what you just said!"

"I'm your sister-in-law!"

"Alright!" Su Ding tugged at her. "Say less!"

"Why should I say less?" Fan Biyun shook off his hand. "You're useless too. Your dad gave the house to outsiders, not even to you, his own son. All you do is act tough with me at home. If you're so capable, go after your dad!"

Su Ding's face turned pale and then flushed.

He was indeed a little jealous of his two younger brothers, but he also knew that both of them were promising and would be useful in the future, so there was no need to offend them now.

But Fan Biyun's words struck a chord with him.

He's the eldest son in the family, so why should this house be allocated to Jiang Chengzhou and not to him?

Without thinking twice, Su Jue said, "Apologize to Deng Jing!"

Deng Jing was the kind of person who didn't fight or compete. She tugged at Su Jue and said, "Never mind, it's okay."

Deng Jing didn't want to argue with her, as her sister-in-law had been upset.

Su Jue could have let it go if he didn't know before, but now that his sister-in-law was scolding Deng Jing like this in front of him, Su Jue absolutely couldn't tolerate it.

He strode forward, grabbed Su Ding by the collar, and said, "Make her apologize to Deng Jing!"

The men in the Su family have a similar style of doing things; they only target men.

Su Ding, being the eldest brother, was also angered when he saw his younger brother actually make a move.

Su Ding gained weight in middle age and became quite robust, while Su Jue was as thin as a bamboo pole and, being a scholar, was no match for him in terms of strength.

Before Su Ding could make a move, Su Lang stepped forward and pressed down on his shoulder.

"Big brother, second brother doesn't get angry easily. Why did you provoke him? Just apologize honestly. That's just the temperament of second brother, a scholar. If it were me, if anyone dared to scold my wife, I'd be lucky if I didn't break their legs."

His tone was light and airy, and his movements were light and airy as well.

To outsiders, it was not obvious, but Su Ding felt as if two weights were pressing on her shoulders, and no matter how hard she struggled, she could not get rid of them.
