Chapter 336: Chapter 34: The Doomed Sister-in-law in the Group-Pampered Novel

Eldest Xie was so terrified of the villagers’ gossip that he quickly divided the family assets and finally felt relieved.

Xie Guo and Xie Qiang knelt on the ground to kowtow to Eldest Xie, and their wives, slightly relieved, also sincerely kowtowed. Then, they happily took the money and tickets, planning to build a wall with some contacts.

Jiang Lai also got over eighty, probably scared off by some scolding. Xie Guo and Xie Qiang tacitly agreed to leave the brick house to Xie Jian. Their wives had no objections because, after all, Xie Jian had worked hard to earn it, and anyone who tried to take it would have a guilty conscience.

Just like that, Jiang Lai effortlessly got a brick house.

Xie Jian never expected that one day the Xie Family would end up like this. They used to be the most unbreakable family in the village, and everyone said the four brothers of the Xie Family might never split up in their lifetime.

But now, in just a few months, the Xie Family was completely divided.

Xie Jian got the brick house, it was the one Eldest Xie and Lv Cuiping lived in.

Because the Xie Family had two brick houses, the one Xie Yumian lived in was relatively larger, and Eldest Xie couldn’t bear to let his daughter suffer, so he offered up his own.

As soon as Jiang Lai got the house, he immediately had Xie Jian find someone to tear it down.

"Sister-in-law, this brick house is still new, why demolish it?"

"Why keep it when the new house is already built? Tear it down quickly."

Demolishing a house is harder than building one, one and a half a day, working through the night, and in less than two days, the house was mostly torn down. The bricks were hauled to be sold at the brick factory, fetching a very low price, just over ninety in total. Outsiders thought it was a huge loss, considering it cost nearly four hundred to build, all earned through Xie Jian’s hard work at the brick factory.

Many people came to advise, but Jiang Lai kept smiling, with a particularly firm attitude. As for Xie Jian, he was even more so, doing whatever Jiang Lai said, joining the demolition team without a word, and working harder than anyone.

On the third day, Xie Yumian, who had been rehearsing for a cultural performance at the brigade, returned home.

These days, she had been staying at a friend’s house to make rehearsals easier. Three days later, when she returned home and opened the gate to the yard, she was stunned.

Is this her home?

What happened? Where’s the brick house behind the main hall? Why is it gone? The place that should have had a brick house is now empty, as if it had never existed, making her think she was seeing things.

Looking again at the scene in front of her, only one brick house was left, and several mud-brick houses, even the connected mud-brick houses were separated by a brick wall!

What’s going on? How did the house change in just three days?!

Xie Yumian, in shock, went to look for Lv Cuiping, but instead saw Wang Fengjiao coming out of the mud-brick house to fetch water.

The two had argued a few days ago, and Xie Yumian still held a grudge and didn’t want to acknowledge her, but Wang Fengjiao called out first.

"You’re back? Have you eaten? Why not eat at my place?"

"Eat at your place?"

Xie Yumian’s tone changed, filled with disbelief and a sense of ridicule.

What does she mean by eating at her place? It sounds like she’s the head of this house now. An outsider dares to say something like this to annoy her, making her even more eager to find Lv Cuiping and get things straight.

"Who are you looking for? Looking for your ma?"

"Isn’t my ma your ma?"

"Yes, she’s lying down in your room. Oh right, since you’re back, you can feed her today."

With that, the woman directly went inside and came out with a bowl, with food underneath and a yellow corn bun on top, handing it to the dumbfounded Xie Yumian.

"What are you looking at? Go feed her, she must be hungry by now."

"What are you talking about?!"

Upon hearing that Lv Cuiping was in her room, Xie Yumian immediately turned around and pushed the door open, and as soon as she entered, she smelled the thick scent of dry smoke. She frowned and walked over to see a figure lying motionless on her bed.

"Ma?"

She went forward, and the person on the bed struggled to sit up, finally leaning against the wall. When she turned her head, Xie Yumian saw her face and was so scared she stepped back.

"Daughter..."

Lv Cuiping’s eyes were filled with tears when she saw Xie Yumian, her hoarse voice and haggard, half-paralyzed face resembling a ghost climbing out from the grave, made Xie Yumian too frightened to approach. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Ma... what happened to you?"

"My life is bitter, my life is bitter..."

Finally stepping forward, Xie Yumian had too much to ask; the resentment in her heart hadn’t faded when she was hit by this scene at home.

To Lv Cuiping, seeing her daughter was like seeing a lifeline, clutching her arm tightly, her tears falling freely.

"Three sons, all raised for nothing, all raised for nothing!"

"What happened? What’s going on?"

"The family is divided, everyone is divided, from now on your ma only has you."

Xie Yumian’s eyes widened sharply.

"Divided?! When did that happen? Who agreed to divide?"

Only gone for three days and the family had split?

Lv Cuiping angrily cursed with bloodshot eyes, yelling so loud that she wanted everyone in the neighboring rooms to hear her rantings.

Finally, Xie Yumian understood, it was because of the last fight that led the villagers to intervene, and the village head also came to persuade them. Eldest Xie, who valued his honor, along with his sons and daughters-in-law who had increasingly pent-up grievances, simply decided to split everything.

"That old fool of a dad of yours gave the dowry money I’m saving for you to those useless wretches! Only two rooms are left; he gave the brick houses to those beasts Xie Jian and Jiang Lai!

Your dad wants to anger me to death! I’m really at my wit’s end! If not for me, I would have jumped into the river! Having these sons makes life meaningless."

Xie Yumian was in utter turmoil, and from all Lu Cuiping’s words, she only cared about one thing: the family was split, leaving only two habitable rooms, and their savings were all gone.

No wonder Wang Fengjiao appeared so reveling just now, deliberately talking like it was her place. How could a person like this marry into their family, leaving Xie Yumian speechless?

"Daughter, don’t share any of your fortune with your brothers; let them fend for themselves. It’d be best if another famine came and wasted them away!"

"Where’s the brick house? Why is the brick house outside gone?"

Lv Cuiping was also puzzled.

"What do you mean gone?"

Her expression clearly showed she didn’t know either.

Xie Yumian’s voice trembled.

"The brick house you lived in before, why is it gone?"

"Gone? How could it be gone?"

It was indeed gone.

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"As soon as the third brother got the house, he found people to tear it down. The bricks were sold for quite a bit at the brick factory."

The speaker was Wang Fengjiao.
