Outside, Shen Wei'an pulled Shen Weimin out. He glanced back at the main room, then scanned the courtyard before asking in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"We're splitting up the family."
"That's absurd!"
"Right. Absurd."
"Xiao San, I know you..."
"Don't like your wife? What's she got to do with me? You think I, Shen Weimin, am some petty idiot who goes out of his way to pick on a fool?"
'You're not an idiot, but you definitely are petty.'
"Let's get this over with. If we split up the family, we're still brothers."
Shen Wei'an scoffed. "So you're saying if we don't split, we're not brothers?"
'Pretty much!'
'The way you just covered your ears and lived your own quiet life... To say you were truly powerless to manage your wife and kids—Eldest Brother might believe you, but I don't!'
"Does Eldest Brother know you support this?"
"He'll agree to it."
"Do we really have to make such a scene that splitting is the only option?"
