Chapter 963 Can’t Stand By and Watch You Keep Harming the Children
As soon as Kong Cunlai said this, everyone had different thoughts. Fu Lanhua never expected that her old man would announce this decision without consulting her first, leaving no room for negotiation.
Standing there for a while, she couldn’t utter a word. Wouldn’t she lose all her leverage over her sons and daughters-in-law in the future? Just the thought of not being able to save any money after that made her chest hurt.
"If Big Brother comes to ask for my help again, what will I have to offer?" She lifted her head to look at her husband, "Xiangrui has just married, and you want to divide the household. Do you have an issue with your youngest daughter-in-law, or what? Aren’t you afraid that the neighbors will gossip?"
Kong Cunlai finished his porridge in one gulp, put the bowl down, "This is all your doing; I can’t just stand by and watch you keep harming the kids."
With that, he turned and left.
Fu Lanhua trembled with rage. Now the blame for dividing the household was placed on her. But with her sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters present, she had to maintain appearances. She didn’t want to lose face in front of the neighbors.
Seeing the situation, Kong Xiangrui gestured for Lu Yiting to hurry up with her meal.
The gifts for the homecoming celebration had already been prepared by Kong Xiangrui the day before. Regardless of his mother’s sour expression, he finished eating, pulled Lu Yiting back to his room, grabbed the gifts, and shouted in the yard, "Dad, Mom, we’re leaving."
The distance from the Kong Family to the Lu Family was quite significant; it would take forty to fifty minutes by bike. Considering the uncomfortable atmosphere at home, they felt it was better to leave early.
Kong Cunlai came out of the house, "Take it easy on the road, and give my regards once you arrive."
Kong Xiangrui nodded, "We’re off then."
