Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1484

Chapter 1484: Separation ( 1 )

As soon as the elders said this, Li Chenze let out a chuckle that drew all attention in the room toward him.

The team leader knew about the Li family’s contributions, so he said nothing and continued observing.

Unlike him, the village elders didn’t know much about the Li family and only saw him as the Zhang family’s eldest son-in-law. So, when they heard him laughing, they were displeased.

"This nephew, what’s so funny?" one of the elders asked with a frown.

Li Chenze smiled and replied, "Uncle, don’t you think it’s funny that these comrades treated the guests with such respect, but didn’t even pour a cup of water for their own parents?"

After he said this, everyone turned their gaze to the small table between Father Zhang and Mother Zhang’s chairs. Indeed, there was nothing on the table.

Seeing this, their good impressions of the Zhang brothers and their wives were instantly shattered. The elders now stared at them with suspicion and scrutiny.

Realizing that their efforts to curry favor with the elders to gain more during the division were ruined, Zhang Silang finally asked, "Eldest brother-in-law, why are you throwing dirty water on us? We have never had any enmity with you, so why are you trying to harm us?"

When Li Chenze heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked in return, "Fourth brother-in-law, when did I throw dirty water on you? I’m simply voicing my confusion."

"From the moment I arrived, I didn’t see any of you or your wives show even a bit of respect to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Third sister-in-law even said that as a son-in-law, I have no say in the Zhang family," he added with a sigh.

As soon as he said this, the elders frowned deeper and asked, "Old Zhang, is what your son-in-law said true?"

Before Father Zhang could reply, Mother Zhang had already lowered her head and started to sob. Seeing this, what more needed to be said?

Understanding the situation, the team leader finally brought the conversation back to the main issue and said, "Uncle Zhang, you said you want to divide the family. So, how do you want to divide it?" freёwebnovel.com

The moment he finished speaking, Zhang Dalang said, "Team leader, my parents are old and can’t work anymore. So, as the eldest son, I will be the one to take care of them after we separate. Therefore, I should receive two extra portions when the family’s properties are divided."

When he said this, Mother Zhang and Father Zhang were stunned, while the rest of the Zhang family refused immediately.

"Impossible!"

"Eldest brother, how can you take so many? We don’t agree!"
