Chapter 163: Beaten Half to Death
What she said was the truth, she wasn’t afraid of being exposed, after all, her own mother handled the food supply the same way.
The most important thing was that her son also had a share in everything the Chen family owned, so how could she possibly let her parent’s home take it away?
Hearing this, Old Lady Li didn’t doubt her words, but her face fell instantly: "So, you’re just going to watch as your brothers and nephews starve to death?! If you can’t even procure some food, don’t blame your brothers for forsaking sibling love if you end up being thrown out by your in-laws like your elder sister!"
She’s always used the eldest daughter as a threat whenever the other daughters disrespected her authority.
Thinking of her eldest sister who died from the cold, Li Chunhua’s heart thumped. She hurriedly responded, "Mum, rest assured that once I give birth to more sons, I’ll have Jianye propose to divide the family assets! By then, both of my younger brothers-in-law should be married as well."
The more sons she birthed, the more assets she would obtain when the family’s wealth was divided. This will ensure that she won’t be sent back to her parental home.
Old Lady Li understood this, but she wished her youngest daughter could split the family’s wealth immediately after giving birth to this child.
Everyone knows the Chen family’s five sons only currently have a total of three grandchildren. If her daughter gives birth to a son this time, then the second and third households would get the most when dividing the family wealth.
But it seems impossible because the fourth and fifth sons were not yet married. The Chen family parents would never agree to this.
