In those days, no matter where you went, there was a saying that the elderly would not separate the family.

The village chief and his men were under a lot of pressure at this time. To be honest, it was not easy to divide Guan Ping'an's family.

If the division is unfair, not only will it discourage the second son, but it will also encourage some people with ulterior motives who only want to divide the family property and not support the elderly. If they follow suit, the atmosphere in the village will be distorted.

If it wasn't divided, the second son had solid evidence in his hand about the old woman selling her granddaughter. His wife seemed like a different person when she came back from the mountain. She dared to look up and speak, and every word she said was to the point and could not be refuted. She went to the commune to complain without saying a word. If it wasn't divided, the second son's wife would probably not let it go.

Well, Guanjia Village will have no shortage of topics to talk about in the next month.

Everyone in the room was silent, and neither side brought up the matter of separation, as if whoever brought it up first would lose.

Guan Dashan, who was simple-minded, couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted out what was in his mind.

"Second brother, when you just came back from the mountains yesterday and heard that our mother had given the child away, you probably couldn't accept it at the time and were a little excited, making a fuss about splitting up the family. Now that the child is back, and Dad has given the other family an extra 50 yuan, we all understand how you felt yesterday. While all the village elders are here, you and your sister-in-law should quickly apologize to our parents, and they will forgive you."

Guan's father said: "My wife did nothing wrong yesterday. Selling her granddaughter is illegal. If it weren't for the fact that she is my mother, she wouldn't be able to sit here peacefully now."

After saying this, Shui Shui saw that Mrs. Guan's expression changed.

Whether it was because of what Guan's father mentioned about his identity or because she was afraid of being caught, the old lady was indeed afraid of people.

Old Lady Guan asked Father Guan, "If you split up the family and leave, what will happen to your father and me?"

"Mom, you still have five sons."

“Then what about our retirement?”

"Mother, how much food and money do you need? Just tell me the number."

"Okay, second son, since your heart is far away from mother, no matter how much I say, it's useless. Since we want to divide the family, I won't ask for much. Just give me and your father 100 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of noodles, 10 kilograms of meat each month, a new set of clothes every season, and 200 yuan per person per year."

"What?" Hearing that the village chief was not going to do it anymore, he stood up angrily and said loudly

"Sister-in-law, this isn't a division of the family, this is drinking his blood and eating his flesh!"

"Don't even mention that we have nothing now. Even when our village was doing well in the past, no one could afford to live like this in old age. One person eats 1,200 kilograms of rice, 600 kilograms of flour, and half a pig a year, and it only costs 200 yuan per person. Why don't you just go to heaven? This is pure nonsense!" Grandpa Wu was so angry that his eyebrows were almost flying off.

The village elders began a verbal bombardment.

Old Lady Guan shouted loudly, drowning out the others: "That's all I ask. If you can meet it, we'll give you a share. If you can't, we won't give you a share!"

Professor Dong said, "Her father, this family cannot be divided anymore. Let's go to the commune."

Old Mrs. Guan immediately wilted.

Alas, the old woman’s fighting ability is really not worth mentioning.

Mr. Guan turned his head and looked at Old Man Guan deeply without saying a word.

Seeing that the old woman hadn't been able to control the second son, Guan Laotou gave up after just a few words. He picked up his empty pipe and knocked it against the edge of the kang, knocking all the ashes onto the ground. He then put the empty pipe in his mouth and took another puff to see if it would work. After finishing the puff, he put the pipe aside and glanced at Guan's father slowly.

This one glance contains so much.
