Sun Manyu was shouting loudly, with Sun Dalin's wife and Sun Manbo chiming in from time to time, until Fourth Master Sun angrily broke a teacup, and only then did the Sun Family quiet down completely.
"Divide the family!" Fourth Master Sun said coldly, "I will live with the youngest, the three of you will live separately, and from now on, you'll each live your own lives. As for the youngest wife, I'll ask her privately later whether she wants to live independently or with us."
Fourth Master Sun's words shocked Sun Dalin but delighted his wife; the old man had finally agreed to divide the household. At her age, nearly sixty, she could finally take charge and be her own master. It was wonderful.
