Chapter 1718: Chapter 623: The Female Lead Who Was Reversed (12)_3

If He Youyu really passed the exam, the entire He Family would benefit along with him.

Yet He Youyu, who had been supported by almost the whole household putting in all their strength, did not become the pillar of the family; instead he was raised into a selfish, cold-natured person.

He was very good at judging the situation, and even better at weighing gains and losses.

For now, following the first branch clearly had a much brighter future than following his parents.

For all the benefits He Yingying could bring him, He Youyu knew his words would hurt his parents, his second brother and second sister-in-law, yet he still opened his mouth!

Granny Li was badly shaken, the trace of smugness she’d just felt vanished in an instant: "Laosan, you, what did you say?"

He Youyu acted as if he hadn’t seen Granny Li’s heartbreak, still wearing that refined look as he slowly said, "Ma, you should split me off as well."

Granny Li stumbled back several steps; if her second son hadn’t been supporting her, she would have fallen straight down on her backside.

Laosan, Laosan was forcing her!

Truly, Reincarnation under the Heavenly Dao is fair—she had used filial piety to force the eldest, and now Laosan was relying on being the favored one to force her in turn!

Granny Li was filled with despair; for a moment, she didn’t even know how to choose.

"Second Brother, can you really bear to put Father and Mother in such a bind?"

Seeing his own mother hesitate and no longer pressing his eldest brother step by step, He Youyu turned his gaze toward He Youliang.

He Youliang was an honest sort, and a bit slow; he still hadn’t reacted.

"A bind? Why would Father and Mother be in a bind?"

He Youliang wasn’t being sarcastic; he genuinely didn’t understand.

Yang Family closed her eyes. Sigh, her man was good in every other way, just too simple, too dim!

Hearing her second son’s foolish question, then looking at her second daughter-in-law’s helpless expression.

Granny Li’s mind suddenly overheated, and she blurted out, "Go! All of you go! I’ll stay with Laoer!"

So what if she stayed in He Family Village to suffer and be tormented—hadn’t she spent her whole life suffering already?

As long as that wolf cub He Yingying remained in the household, even if they ate well and dressed well, her old woman’s days would never be smooth.

"That damn girl is too cunning, she’s even ensnared Laosan!"

"If I keep following the first branch, who knows how she’ll torment me in the future!"

Granny Li was an old fox; her thinking was always extra thorough.

She truly couldn’t bear to part with the first branch’s prosperity, and she was even more reluctant to grow distant from her scholarly third son.

But the situation before her already explained everything perfectly.

She could not control the first branch, nor could she rely on He Youyu.

Forget it, better to choose Laoer.

Laoer truly had no abilities, but he was honest and filial, and he would never shortchange his parents!

Thinking of this, Granny Li stopped hesitating and had someone call for the village head and clan elders.

"Ma—" The eldest, He Youtian, still felt a bit off.

However, this outcome was far better than what they’d just been facing.

The ones being split off weren’t only him, but also the more outstanding, more promising third brother.

In that case, he shouldn’t end up bearing the reputation of being unfilial all on his own.

Even if people pointed fingers, his third brother would share half the burden.

With that thought, He Youtian no longer felt so panicked and helpless.

He made a show of trying to persuade her, but when his own mother shot him a cold look, He Youtian neatly shut his mouth.

The matter was already settled; no matter how unwilling Yang Family felt, she couldn’t say much more.

The only consolation was that Granny Li hadn’t given the eldest or the third any share of the family’s fields, house, or silver.

Half went to the second branch, and half was kept for the old couple’s retirement.

The village head and clan elders felt it wasn’t quite proper, so Granny Li put on a full performance of the "biased Top-grade old granny."

"You want House separation, then we’re doing it this way! If you won’t accept it, then there’ll be no separation!"

Granny Li was utterly brazen and fearless; her shameless expression was exactly like a vicious villain in a farm-style web novel.

He Yingying: ... She really is top-grade; in that case, I don’t feel the least bit guilty.

She nodded toward her birth father and Third Uncle.

He Youtian and He Youyu, the two brothers, didn’t hesitate for even a moment; they directly signed and pressed their handprints on the separation document.

"Ma, we’re leaving now! You and Father, take care of yourselves!"

Though they were being sent away with nothing, the two brothers, He Youtian and He Youyu, didn’t complain much.

Because they knew that once they left He Family Village, they could gain more, and better, things.

"Hmph! Unfilial sons! Don’t put on an act in front of your old mother!"

At the very instant she signed the separation document, Granny Li did feel a stab of regret.

But once the stone is cast, there is no taking it back!

Since it was already a done deal, thinking more about it was useless.

"...Ma, don’t say that. We’re doing this for the future of the He Family as well!"

"You know, Fubao really is unlucky. If we stay entangled with her, how are Third Brother and the children at home supposed to enter school?"

Seeing his mother so cold, He Youtian felt wronged and tried to explain a bit more.

Just then, a clamor sounded outside—

"He Youliang, is Old Master He at home?"
