Is this kind of thinking wrong?
In a certain sense, it’s not wrong.
Before dividing the family, everything should be considered as communal.
But the problem is, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xiao Li, in their thoughts, haven’t considered the perspectives of Yuan Pandi and Yuan Zhaodi, the two men in charge.
In Yuan Pandi and Yuan Zhaodi’s view, regardless of how much silver coin Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi brought back, it was earned through their own efforts. That money, if they are willing to give it, shows brotherly goodwill. But if they’re forced to give it, then it’s the two brothers who are in the wrong.
"So what if it’s not been divided yet?"
Yuan Zhaodi looked at Mrs. Xiao Li with a gloomy face, "Do you still want Second Brother and Third Brother to take their hard-earned money and share it?"
"I’m jealous of that much money too!"
"But there is money you can reach for, and there is money, if you dare to reach for it, I will dare to divorce you!"
"Don’t think I’m joking!"
Even Yuan Zhaodi himself couldn’t clearly explain his mindset, but he simply couldn’t reach for that money.
"I know, I didn’t say I wanted that money!"
"I was just chatting a bit with you!"
Mrs. Xiao Li looked at Yuan Zhaodi with grievance; she felt genuinely wronged and felt that Yuan Zhaodi had changed. Before, no matter what she said, he wouldn’t get angry, he would only speak to her nicely and gently.
But now, if she said two things that didn’t satisfy Yuan Zhaodi, she would get reprimanded and intimidated. Latest content published on novel~fire~net
Looking at the deeply aggrieved Mrs. Xiao Li, Yuan Zhaodi also felt uncomfortable inside.
He didn’t want to live life in this way.
But what could he do?
If he wasn’t a bit severe, he truly feared he wouldn’t be able to suppress his wife’s thoughts.
Compared to Yuan Zhaodi’s violent suppression of Mrs. Xiao Li, things were much calmer in Yuan Pandi’s room.
Even though Mrs. Li mentioned her thoughts, Yuan Pandi merely gave a mild smile when faced with his wife’s discontent and said, "If you’re not scared of Second and Third Brother falling out with you, go tell them yourself!"
Mrs. Li looked at Yuan Pandi with deep resentment; could she not be afraid?
Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi were already fierce before, and now, after serving in the military for so many years and bringing back such wealth, who knows what they’ve done; maybe their hands are stained with numerous lives.
"If you’re not capable of that, then don’t think about spending that money!"
Yuan Pandi took it very lightly.
"Fine, I won’t worry about it anymore!"
Mrs. Li ultimately chose to give up.
Meanwhile, in Yuan Wangdi’s room, Mrs. Song looked at the pile of silver ingots and the bundle of jewelry, feeling like she was dreaming.
"Husband, how did you manage to get all these things?"
Mrs. Song felt a little scared.
"How else? Fighting in battles, attacking cities, we got a share of the good stuff from those corrupt officials’ homes according to the general’s wishes!"
"By the way, with this silver, later on, share some with Big Brother and the Fourth, and Xiao Wu!"
Yuan Wangdi glanced at his wife, "Even though we’ve divided the family now, we hadn’t divided it before, had we?"
"Also, after the new year, I and the Third still have to return to the military, and in a year, who knows how many days we can come back. The household matters depend on you as a woman, which isn’t helpful; it still relies on Big Brother’s help!"
"Whatever you say, I’ll listen to you!"
Mrs. Song was still in a dizzy state, naturally, she agreed with everything Yuan Wangdi said.
Similarly, Yuan Laidi was instructing Mrs. Peng with the same words.
"Husband, can we not go?"
Mrs. Peng was really frightened because there was a huge scar on Yuan Laidi’s chest; when she touched it last night, it nearly scared her soul away.
