Use of will and would

Hi

Would you use of will in these conditional sentences sound natural to native speakers? 

If he throws out of the house, will you beg in the streets?
or
If he throws out of the house, would you beg in the streets?

If you die in this struggle, will it be worth it?
or
If you die in this struggle, would it be worth it?

Thanks,

Tom

These sound right to me: If he throws you out of the house, will you beg in the streets? If you die in this struggle, will it be worth it?

Thanks, MM.

One more question.

Does the use of would in these examples sound odd to your ears? Or marginal or just plain wrong?

If he throws you out of the house, would you beg in the streets?
If you die in this struggle, would it be worth it?

I suppose that a speaker could mix his certainties, but they just sound wrong to me.
