In the town, the Xiao Family, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were also questioning Xiao Yuan.

"Third, are you dating the Fourth Son of Pei Family?"

Xiao Yuan admitted straightforwardly: "Yes, what’s wrong?"

"No way."

Mr. Xiao slammed the table: "How can you marry a girl from that family, such a woman, bringing her home would bring chaos to our family, and besides, your mother and I would lose face. If you marry Miss Pei, we’ll lose all face following you."

Xiao Yuan seemed indifferent and rather reckless: "Fine, if you think it’s a loss of face, then let’s divide the family. I don’t want anything, just separate me from the family. From now on, we won’t associate ever again, I’ll lose face on my own, it has nothing to do with you."

"Third, how can you say something like that?" Mrs. Xiao became anxious listening to him: "Are you stabbing my heart, just for a woman you don’t want your parents anymore?"

Xiao Feng and Xiao Lei also looked at Xiao Yuan disapprovingly.

Xiao Yuan shrugged: "Aren’t you the ones who think it’s embarrassing? So if I don’t embarrass you, that should be acceptable, right? Besides, if you don’t let me marry Miss Pei, do you want me to remain single forever? You haven’t thought about it, with our family’s conditions, what is there to choose from? You were happy to find a mute for my brother earlier, what, is Anning not even better than a mute?"

His words really made Mr. and Mrs. Xiao lose face.

Mr. Xiao, with a dark expression, said: "Anyway, you can’t marry her."

"Then divide the family." Xiao Yuan was determined: "If we don’t divide the family, I’ll join the Pei Family. After all, their family only has daughters, if I join them, I’m sure they’ll be delighted."

"You want to drive me to my grave, huh."

Mr. Xiao was so mad at Xiao Yuan, clutching his chest and breathing heavily.

"You’re not letting me get married, and won’t allow me to resist? I’ve fallen for Anning, no matter what anyone says, I’m determined to marry her."

Xiao Yuan wouldn’t let Mr. and Mrs. Xiao control him.

Moreover, he had figured out their personalities: the more you appease them, the more they take liberties; if you confront them, they might stir up some trouble but wouldn’t dare do anything drastic.

This couple is a pair of cowardly people who bully the weak but fear the strong.

Mrs. Xiao couldn’t handle Xiao Yuan, standing up in anger: "Fine, you want to date, don’t you? Tomorrow, I’ll go to the Pei Family and find Fourth Son Pei. I will ask how she lured my son, and I’ll tell her not to think about entering our house. Let’s see how you continue dating!"

Xiao Yuan was calm, responding indifferently: "Go ahead, if you’re not afraid to go in upright and come out horizontally, just go. Let me tell you the truth, none of the four girls in the Pei Family are easy to mess with. Don’t even talk about Anning; even Eldest Son Pei could easily throw you out."

Mrs. Xiao was truly frightened.

She said dryly: "I, I’m her future mother-in-law. She wouldn’t dare do anything to me."

"Let’s see if she dares or not. Eldest Son Pei can be so absurd he’s dared to hit his own parents; let alone an outsider like you. Anning seems okay from the outside, but ultimately, she’s a girl from the Pei Family. Do you think she’s that nice?"

Xiao Yuan even snorted coldly at this point: "I’m laying it out here, if you dare sabotage me, the minute I find out, I’m packing up and moving to the Pei Family. If you’re not afraid to lose face, just go ahead."

The firmer he stood, the more Mr. and Mrs. Xiao lost their confidence.

"Third."

Mr. Xiao became dejected: "You need to think this through, the girls from the Pei Family all prefer wealth. Considering our family’s conditions, would she really look at you? Don’t let yourself be fooled."

Xiao Yuan confidently said: "Who told you she’s about the money, she’s looking at me as a person."

"What nonsense is that?" Mr. Xiao simply didn’t believe it: "Don’t let some sweet words from a girl make you lose your bearings. After dating for a while, you’ll see, if she doesn’t start demanding things from you."

Xiao Yuan got up and walked to the bedroom: "If it comes to that, I’ll work and earn money to buy her food and clothes. If you disapprove, we’ll divide the family. Once we’re divided, whatever I do won’t drag you down."

Xiao Feng perked up listening to this.

"Third, if we divide the family, you leave with nothing."

"Fine." Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement.

"You will have to help us take care of our parents when you’re married, but after dividing the family, you won’t have any share in the house or land. After marrying, don’t expect mother to help take care of your children."

Xiao Lei proposed even harsher conditions.

"Alright." Xiao Yuan agreed even more readily: "Whatever you say. But once we’ve divided, the money I earn will be mine to spend. Whoever I want to marry, the life I lead afterwards will have nothing to do with you, and none of you are allowed to interfere."

"Fine."

Xiao Feng was over the moon.

The Xiao Family didn’t have much money, but the house was quite big.

They lived in an old house, a wide five-room courtyard with a deep two-entry yard. Without Xiao Yuan, Xiao Feng and Xiao Lei would each have an entry; enough room for them to marry and have children.

Furthermore, this house was built by Xiao Yuan’s grandfather, made of blue bricks and tiles, very solidly built and could last for decades. It wouldn’t easily break down, so Xiao Feng and Xiao Lei wouldn’t have to worry about building or repairing houses.

"Dad, let’s just do as Third says, divide the family."

Xiao Feng persuaded Mr. Xiao: "I can’t afford the embarrassment, I don’t want to go out and be asked about which girl from the Pei Family is with whom, or for people to look at us with discriminatory eyes, or be criticized behind our backs about how our family can’t stand up."

Xiao Lei quickly nodded: "Let’s divide the family, Third doesn’t have a place to live now, let him stay at home for now. After the division, he can build his own house."

Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "If we divide, it should be clear-cut. After dividing, I won’t live at home, I’ll find a place to live, and in the future, regardless of whether things go well or not, none of you intervene."

"Dad, agree to it." Xiao Feng looked eagerly at Mr. Xiao.

Mr. Xiao might have also been provoked by Xiao Yuan, and might have wanted to hold Xiao Yuan.

He looked at Xiao Yuan, asking: "Have you really thought this through, no one else but her?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "I’ve thought it through, it’s her, and besides her, I won’t marry anyone else in this life."

"Alright." Mr. Xiao slapped his thigh: "Then let’s divide the family, Eldest, go find the village head and your elder granduncle to come over."

Over there, Anning had just coaxed Liu Dalian well, yet the next day, Xiao Yuan found the Pei Family.

Early in the morning, Anning hadn’t even had breakfast when she heard knocking.

"Coming, coming."

She ran to open the door and moved aside, only to see Xiao Yuan standing at the doorstep smiling at her.

"How come you’re here?"

"Who is it?" Liu Dalian peered from the kitchen asking.

Anning quickly pulled Xiao Yuan in: "Mom, my boyfriend is here."

Liu Dalian was startled, quickly running out from the kitchen.

She didn’t greet Xiao Yuan warmly: "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Hello, Aunt." Xiao Yuan smiled, greeting Liu Dalian: "I came to see Anning, and talk to her about a few things."

"Speak right here then." Liu Dalian loudly said, with a darkened face.

An Yi and An Xian, who were planning to catch up on sleep, were also awakened.

The two sisters groggily came out wrapping clothes around them.

"Who is it, who is it?"

An Yi spotted Xiao Yuan, hadn’t said anything yet, when Pei Yu suddenly came running out.

She brightened up seeing Xiao Yuan: "Wow, this guy is really handsome."

Anning got angry, quickly pulling Xiao Yuan behind her, then stared at Pei Yu: "Aunt, look clearly, this is my boyfriend, he’s not yours to flirt with, remember this, and keep your distance from him, if you dare to hit on him, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Pei Yu regretted: "Alright, I won’t hit on him, okay? Really, such a handsome guy can’t be touched..."

"He does look quite handsome." An Yi nodded, starting to critique Xiao Yuan: "But he’s too poor, if he had some money, maybe I’d be interested."

Anning glared at An Yi: "Have some sense, okay? Let’s maintain some dignity, alright? This is your future brother-in-law, brother-in-law, got that?"

An Yi glanced at Xiao Yuan again: "Fine, I’ll hold back, in a while I’ll find a few more guys to compensate."
