Kapitel 13: Chapter 13 The Only Grandson_1
Tan Zhengyuan, although resentful, did not have the courage to confront his own mother.
He could only sulkily close his mouth and sit at the edge of the bed with his head hanging low.
Little Wang Clan, proud as a peacock, wore a smug expression. In this household, only a fool would dare to talk back to her.
Wang Clan was both her aunt and mother-in-law. How could anyone bully her?
Tan Yuancheng cleared his throat and said unhurriedly, "Your mother and I have decided to live with Second Boss Tan Zhengyong's family from now on. They will take care of us in our old age. Do you have any objections?"
Second Boss Tan Zhengyong had a talent for reading others and pleasing people. He was already the most favored among the four sons of the Tan family.
After marrying Wang Clan's niece, Wang Clan became even more partial to his household.
So it was not surprising that Tan Yuancheng and Wang Clan had such plans.
But Tan Zhengyuan was very displeased.
Old couples usually lived on their own or with the eldest son, but his father and mother wanted to live with the second son. Wasn't this meant to embarrass him?
If this really happened, people would surely say it was the eldest son who was unfilial for not taking care of his parents!
Tan Zhengyuan said discontentedly, "Father, if you and Mother live with Second Brother's family, won't others gossip about me?"
"Without a son, won't you just be bullied to death if you took us in?" Wang Clan said irritably.
In a family, the one with many sons holds the power; without sons, prepare to be scorned.
Tan Zhengyuan's face reddened instantly, as not having a son was his greatest sore point.
In the countryside, having sons is important—for arguments, they speak louder, and for fights, they add more fists!
With no son, how could he compete with others?
Tan Zhengyuan could not help but glare at Hu's Clan. Wasn't it all because she was incapable?
In other families, giving birth seemed as easy as laying eggs, so why was it so difficult with her?
After all, she had given birth to two children who were nothing but financial burdens and couldn't even continue!
Hu's Clan hung her head, her hands clenched tightly.
Qiao Duo'er pursed her lips, her eyes full of disgust. She found this hypocritical and greedy family nauseating to look at.
However, she was pleased to see the division of the family property proceed, so she continued to remain silent.
Tan Yuancheng knocked on the table, "This is settled. We are farmers, and the land is our treasure, it must not go to waste. We will divide according to each household's labor. Your mother and I count as two, the First Boss's House and Third Boss's House count as two each, Second Boss's House counts as three, Fourth Boss's House... let's count it as one. There are sixteen mu of paddy fields and twenty mu of dry land in our family. Each labor unit gets one mu of paddy field and one mu of dry land. The rest will go to Xiao Fu, as he must pursue his studies; the glory of the Tan family depends on him entirely."
This set off the First Boss and Third Boss. So, most of the family's property was going to Second Boss?
Just because the Second Boss had the only grandson in the Tan family?
Such blatant favoritism was too much, treating them like fools.
"Father, the way this property is being divided isn't fair at all, isn't it bullying?"
Tan Zhengyuan argued with a flushed face.
Tan Zhongzhong immediately chimed in, "Right? My wife is still pregnant, and it might be a son. Why should all the benefits go to Second Brother?"
Little Wang Clan sneered, "My mother consulted a fortune-teller, and our Tan family will only have this one male grandchild from Xiao Fu!"
"Second sister-in-law, I'm afraid those words are yours. You're really going to great lengths for the inheritance," Li Clan said, hands on her hips, piercingly pointing out Little Wang Clan's intentions.
Little Wang Clan was not to be outdone: "Third sister-in-law, watch your words. Be careful not to twist your tongue. If another worthless girl is born, will you still have the face to stay in the Tan family?"
