Chapter 3

Let’s split up the family

After saying this, Mrs. Gu lost her composure and said angrily, "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of the worst. I don't dare to risk my life. As for Qingyun Temple, I was looking for a highly respected Zen master. Hello.

You have so much courage to question this old man, you really don’t know the heights of heaven and earth.”

The speaker seems unintentional, but the listener sounds intentional.

Gu Xiaoci originally wanted to drive out the big house and get all the property. His eyes flashed slightly, he lowered his head and whispered in Mrs. Gu's ear. Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up and she had an idea.

She calmly brushed her robe and said, "What you just said makes sense. In the same household registration, even if we drive you away, we can't completely eliminate the harm. Besides, if you are kicked out for nothing, outsiders will not know what's going on inside."

, you thought I was being harsh to you. In that case, let’s separate the families."

"Ah? How is this possible?" Uncle Gu and others were the first to question it. The parents were not separated, and the eldest house had just lost a man. She was asked to go out alone as a pregnant widow. Aren't she afraid of people talking?

It really doesn’t make sense…

Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as her many hints just now were not in vain. In just a while, she thought a lot.

If a woman in ancient times wanted to live a good life, the strength of her mother's family, the attitude of her husband's family and her husband were really important.

She tried hard to think back, and found that just as Mrs. Gu said, her mother's family seemed to have a very cold attitude towards her daughter, but she could not recall the reason. It seemed that the original person had blocked this memory.

Her mother's family was helpless, her husband had passed away, and her husband's family obviously didn't want to see her anymore.

"Xiao En is the eldest son." Uncle Gu patted the chair handle, feeling a little excited.

"Don't say goodbye. We are two families after we separate. Don't set foot here anymore." There was a look of disgust in Mrs. Gu's eyes. She looked down on this unlucky thing more and more.

"Xiaoen daughter-in-law, what do you say?"

"Xiaoen daughter-in-law, your mother-in-law wants to separate the family, what do you say?"

Here, the lives of women and children are worthless. She has no husband. If her husband's family is more shameless, they can sell her if they want.

The poorest part of Sanhe Village is the east end of the village, where families with only a little ability have long since moved away.

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Gu became furious, "The fields at the east end of the village are considered fields. The combined harvest of five acres of land in a year is less than three dan. How much will be left after paying the taxes? If there is a flood,

, that’s nothing to gain. Do you have any conscience for throwing such a mess to these orphans and widowers? After all, they are also Xiaoen’s daughter-in-law and children. Xiaoen is the eldest son, and he is still lying there, looking at you...

…”

"Hey, that being the case, we have nothing to say. We can wait until Xiao En is buried tomorrow and then we can separate the family."

Qi Qi looked sad and said, "Yes."

Uncle Gu and others looked at each other, and could only give up with a deep sigh.

Qi Qi looked dazed for a moment, and then said calmly, "I have no objection, mother makes the decision."

It's a pity that Mrs. Gu is obviously partial to her armpits.

Several uncles objected, but Mrs. Gu was resolute, "I own this family, and I will never keep her at home anyway. If you are willing, you can take her home and take good care of her."

Despite the fact that Mrs. Gu seems to have given a lot of things to Qi Qi, the house is surrounded by fields, hilltops, pools, and bamboo forests. In fact, it’s just a pile of rags.

The night in February was dim and dark, and the wind was filled with chill. It passed through the cracks in the doors and windows and easily penetrated into the bone marrow. The oil lamp on the altar table made a hissing sound from time to time, and the dim yellow flame flickered...

"Okay, since the third daughter-in-law and Xiaoen's daughter-in-law have made up their minds, let's talk about how to divide the family." Uncle Gu has always liked Gu Xiaoen and is willing to help his widow and posthumous son.

The anti-general army made several uncles so angry that they could only blow their beards and stare but had nothing to say. They brought a pregnant widow home to help others raise their children. They also had a large family to support. How could they really take it home?

, there should be no making noise at home.

"Then give her the old house and five acres of land at the east end of the village."

Mrs. Gu said with a calm face, "That's enough. It's enough to support her and the child."

Following the fourth uncle's words, Qi Qi raised her head and said in a low voice, "Since mother insists on dividing the family, my daughter-in-law, as a junior, naturally has no choice but to obey. Mother, don't worry, even if the family is divided, my daughter-in-law will come over every morning and evening to help her."

Please give me your regards and serve you, old man..."

Having said all this nonsense, the old lady was already determined. She sat upright and looked at the darkening sky outside the hall.

As a modern woman, how can we allow this to happen?

While they were arguing, Qi Qi took the time to call her merit system, but unfortunately the system never responded, making her a little anxious.

Several uncles have left. Regarding the dispute between the three houses of the Gu family, they have done what they should and can do, and there is nothing else they can do.

Mrs. Gu's face turned red when she was told that. She glanced at the coffin next to her and quickly added, "Brother, don't get excited. I haven't finished speaking yet. It connects the easternmost hilltop and the pool in front of the house.

The small bamboo forest behind the house was also given to her."

In this case, it will definitely not be good to remain stubbornly.

That thing is really not worth mentioning.

After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, after waiting for a moment, Uncle Gu was speechless and said, "What else?"

Then compare the other properties of the Gu family, including the big house, hundreds of acres of farmland, three shops in the town, and two hills covered with tea trees.

The only way out now is to separate the family. Only when she is the master of the family and her destiny is in her own hands can she feel at ease.

The uncles were all mature in years, so when they saw that they could reach a consensus in just a few words, they thought about it for a while and finally understood.

Those who have passed away are gone, and those who remain are still alive. No matter whether they are good or bad, they will be able to live forever.

She knew that her rebirth in this body must be due to the system. When she fell off the cliff, she seemed to hear Xiao Dezi's voice.

The fourth uncle looked at Qi Qi, who had been bowing his head and keeping silent since Mrs. Gu proposed to separate the family. His eyes were thoughtful, and he pulled the second son aside who was still wanting to argue, and shook his head.

"Brother, Xiaoen is gone." Mrs. Gu also raised her voice and said harshly, "My eldest son is gone, and it was all her fault. I can give her a way to survive, which is a bodhisattva heart. Besides, she has a heart in her belly."

I still don’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl, and I have no idea whether it will grow up after the birth. Everything in the old house has been given to her, so what else does she want from me? The eldest son will inherit the family property, and I’m not afraid of going to the end of the world.”

No matter how courageous Qi Qi was, she couldn't stand it any longer. She gathered up her clothes and leaned towards the iron basin again, soaking up the light and warmth. She picked up the paper money on the side and threw it into the iron basin to let the flames burn even brighter.

A little more prosperous.

She was the only one left in the main room. She was cold and hungry, but no one cared about her.

"Xiao Dezi? Are you there?" She called the system again, but unfortunately she still didn't get a response.

Qi Qi sighed somewhat dejectedly.
