Are you brothers or enemies? One is stealing his brother’s business, the other is holding up goods and not delivering them. Not only are you causing a scene in front of the whole family, but you’re also digging up each other’s past. Just for a bit of family property, where is the brotherly love? It’s utterly shameful!” She was so furious that tears were about to burst from her eyes.
Xu Hanzhong and Hanxiao were both scolded to the point where they couldn’t raise their heads, each blaming the other for causing their mother to reprimand them publicly.
Yu Yi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and took a deep breath, saying: “No matter how you put it, you’re still fighting over the family property. Today, I’ll make this clear: as long as I’m still breathing, this family will not be divided. If you two are hoping for a division, then you’d better hope I die soon!”
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Madam Xu had always spoken softly, and even when angry, she rarely lost her temper. When had she ever spoken such harsh words? It seemed she was truly angered by her two sons.
Yin Yianniang was the first to react: “Pah! Sister, don’t ever mention that again. It’s not worth ruining your health over these two unruly children.”
“
Wan Hua quickly pulled Xu Hanzhong over to apologize: “Mother, Hanzhong absolutely didn’t mean that. It’s just that Second Brother keeps talking about dividing the family. Hanzhong is an honest person and was just influenced by a few words from Second Brother. We really have no intention of dividing the family.”
Xu Hanzhong nodded repeatedly: “Yes, Mother, Hanzhong has no intention of dividing the family.”
Xu Hanxiao also came forward: “Mother, Hanxiao was wrong to make you angry. But if Big Brother hadn’t first withheld the goods, Hanxiao wouldn’t have been angry enough to talk about dividing the family. If in the future Big Brother can handle things fairly and not secretly trip me up, Hanxiao will naturally respect him as an older brother and never mention dividing the family again.”
Yu Yi looked at both sons, seeing the guilt on their faces, and then said: “You two discuss how to handle this matter. Everyone else, disperse.”
