Mrs. Zhang coldly said: “There are many people pointing their fingers at me, who are you going to scold?”
Bai Erzhu was even more confused: “For no reason, they pointed their fingers at you? Did you offend someone?”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was even angrier. Although she usually didn’t bother about Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi’s case. This time, she didn’t partic.i.p.ate in any of it. It has nothing to do with her. But people were poking her spine. Who wouldn’t feel wrong with this?
“Did I offend someone? Now, all the people in the village were calling the Bai Family a white-eyed wolf. That Bai Family only relies on Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi to live, but the family doesn’t treat them nicely. Instead, the Bai Family is letting them live like half dead. People were injured, but were still being pushed to work. And the people who have good limbs were only resting at home. Tell me, does these thing has something to do with me? Why do they need to point their fingers at me when I didn’t even move a finger to the mother and daughter? Why me?”
Mrs. Liu came out of the house, she was wearing new clothes. She usually couldn’t bear to wear these clothes. But who knows why she was wearing it today.
When she heard Mrs. Zhang"s words, she immediately said, "What’s wrong with that? You are also a member of the Bai Family. As a member, naturally, we have to shoulder things, whether it is good or bad.”
When it comes to this, Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath. Mrs. Zhang wanted to separate from the Bai Family. But every time she will mention it to Bai Erzhu, Bai Erzhu always refused. He said if they separate, the family also needs to divide the field. He doesn’t want to work all day. He likes his life where he could eat and wear clothes while living leisurely.
Because of Mrs. Liu’s words, Mrs. Zhang became more determined to separate. So, she gathered up her courage and said: “Well, since sister-in-law had opened up this thing, then I will say it clearly. I want to separate. After we separate, we no longer need to shoulder things whether it is good or bad. We no longer need to share things. Don’t rely on me anymore. We will no longer bother each other.”
When Mrs. Liu heard the word “separation”, she got panicked. In this family, she was the most unwilling to split. The money her son, Bai Xiaofeng, needs in his studies were big. The eggs in the family were only eaten by her son. She couldn’t afford to divide it.
Additionally, Bai Xiaofeng doesn’t work in the house or fields. Bai Dabao was also not good at work, unlike Bai Fugui, even though he was only 13 years old. Also, Bai Dazhu’s hands were now injured. If they separate, who will do all the work?
Mrs. Liu’s arrogance was extremely reduced by a few points. But, she still tried to smile at Mrs. Zhang and said: “Sister-in-law, we are all family through thick or thin, how can we separate?”
“Who wants to be separate?” Old Lady Bai was originally getting bored inside the house. But, she suddenly heard her two daughter-in-laws arguing.
Mrs. Zhang was somewhat scared of the old lady. When she first came to this family, she ate a lot of hardship. That’s why even up to now, she was still somewhat listening to the old lady’s rules. Even though the old lady was not as vicious to her like to Zhao Lan, but she could see with her eyes, that the old lady was biased to Mrs. Liu’s son, Bai Xiaofeng. Her children were only a small gra.s.s to the old lady’s eyes, while Bai Xiaofeng was a treasure.
“I want to separate.” Mrs. Zhang gathered up her courage and said to the old lady.
Old Lady Bai immediately looked at her coldly, then looked at Bai Erzhu: “Erzhu, do you want to separate?”
Bai Erzhu hurriedly waved his hands: “No, no, I don’t want to separate. Only this woman wanted to separate. It has nothing to do with me.”
