Chapter 392 He's Too Many Things Wrong
Chris and Dana both guessed that nothing good was going to come from Cecelia's mouth.
"Dad, don't listen to Cecelia. She's a pot stirrer! She's full of bad ideas!"
Everyone glared at Cecelia while Fiona said, "Dad, let's listen to Cecelia's ideas. She might be able to solve this problem."
Alfred nodded and said, "Cecelia, say it!"
Cecelia laughed softly and said, "Granduncle, right now, Great-aunt Carol and Great-aunt Anisa can't get along. The best thing to do is not to let them meet."
"But Great-aunt Anisa has just married into our family. It'll be inappropriate if I ask her to move out again."
"For now, the best way is for our family to split up."
"To split up?"
Everyone was shocked at her words. Many people had thought about it over the years, but no one dared to mention it.
Alfred had said that as long as he lived, he wouldn't allow his children and grandchildren to split up.
"How long had it been since the Songo family split up? Now, Great-aunt Anisa and her son are here. They are also part of the Songo family, so they deserve the right to inherit. That is why I am suggesting that you redistribute the properties of the Songo family.
"If the families of your four wives live separately, they won't have to live opposite each other.
"Granduncle, you can live in whichever house you want. And every family is under your leadership and does not interfere with each other.
"If you are afraid of going through any trouble, you can divide the Songo mansion into two parts. Give one half of the mansion to Great-aunt Carol and leave the other half to Great-aunt Anisa.
"As for the two deceased grandaunts, you can arrange for their children and grandchildren to live in houses outside the Songo family.
"In this way, the number of people in the main house will be reduced. And it will save you the trouble. Your children and grandchildren will each develop their own businesses. And you don't have to worry too much. Wouldn't it be great that you only need to take care of yourself and spend time with my two great-aunts?"
After Cecelia finished speaking, the entire living room went silent. The atmosphere was eerie and frightening.
Queenie was not convinced and shouted, "What kind of lousy ideas are you talking about? Our Songo family is not going to split up!"
Then she complained to Alfred, "Grandpa, she's trying to split our family. Don't listen to her!"
Fiona interjected, "Cecelia's suggestion is quite good too. Our family should have split up a long time ago."
The entire Songo family began to talk. Some were in favor of the separation while others were against it. They were in an uproar.
Alfred was very disturbed by the bickering in front of him. "All right! Quiet down!"
The moment Alfred spoke up, everyone remained silent. Everyone looked at Alfred who was sitting in the hall.
"You people keep bickering all day long. It gives me a headache!"
Alfred said as he let out a deep breath. "Cecelia's suggestion is not a bad one. Since some of you want to leave the main house, and some of you don't. Let the majority decide. You all raise your hands. Let me see how many are in favor of splitting up the family."
The following people raised their hands. Almost the entire families of Alfred's second and third wives raised their hands.
"How many are not in favor of it?" Alfred asked again.
Only the family of Alfred's first wife raised their hands.
The number of those in favor clearly overwhelmed the number of those who were not.
Alfred nodded and said, "I know. I'm getting old. I can't control you guys anymore. We might as well split up!"
"Grandpa!"
"Dad! You have to think twice!"
Alfred's first wife's family objected, but Alfred made up his mind. "Tell the Songo family's lawyer to come this afternoon!"
Alfred gave the order and left the living room.
The family of Alfred's first wife pounced at Cecelia like hyenas.
"Cecelia! Haven't you gone too far? How dare you meddle in our Songo family's domestic affairs! How dare you try to divide our family?"

*This was a good read... Why this ending...should be more to this story....
This was a rant for read. I was disappointed because the ending really leaves you hanging. Why?...
