Fifth Grandpa couldn't stand it any longer: "Second brother, there are also family divisions in our village, and they are never too excessive. You didn't give them a grain of rice or a penny, and you just gave them away. Isn't this driving them crazy? How is this different from leaving the house empty-handed? There are so many tributes every year, and the money alone is thirty. How many people in our village can come up with it? The children can't do it!"

"Old Five, I gave him all the food. What will happen to the dozens of people at home? Since he can move out, he must have thought about how to live in the future and not starve to death."

The village elders sitting on the stools were all trying to persuade Old Man Guan.

The old couple lowered their heads and acted as if to say, "You can say whatever you want. If you want to separate, these are the conditions." They were unwilling to discuss further.

Mr. Guan couldn't agree too readily at this time, otherwise the old couple might do something else.

After about ten minutes, Guan's father narrowed his eyes and then sighed, expressing the four-character idiom "disheartened".

Guan Laoer is well-known in the village for being honest and introverted. He cannot change his personality too much all of a sudden.

He said hesitantly, "Okay."

Yesterday, my dad was anxious to pick up Xingxing, so he opened the cabinets in their room. He saw several large bags filled with fine grains, bacon, and cakes. After passing through Old Man Guan's mouth, they had shrunk several times.

Guan He is only 16 after the New Year, and it will take several years for him to get married. Have his parents died in the past few years? Doesn’t he save work points to exchange for money?

Not only do they not give us a single grain of food, but they also deduct the work points of the second son and his wife this year. If the four of us were to share the work, would we be left to starve?

The original couple were very capable, earning the most work points in the village. At the end of the year, work points could be exchanged for money or grain. As for the few people in the Guan family who were slacking off on their work, they were lucky not to have their work points go to waste.

Now is not the time to worry about these things. We must cut the Gordian knot. As long as the request is not unreasonable or excessive, Dad Guan will accept it.

Old Mrs. Guan looked at Xingxing with a gloomy face, and the child was so scared that he shrank into Professor Dong's arms.

The old woman probably remembered the extra 50 yuan she'd taken yesterday, but she didn't dare to say it in front of the village journalists. The whole village knew why the family split up, but they thought no one else knew. These old couple were as cruel as scorpions, but they pretended to be decent people on the surface.

Professor Dong added a few words: "We don't want that house either. Since we've split up, we're now two families. We'll move our household registration out to the production team soon. You have no right to interfere in my family's affairs, and you must not do anything in the name of the second son's parents. We will deliver the food rations and filial piety to the elderly every year at the end of the year without missing a cent. Other than that, we have no further ties."

Old Man Guan paused for a moment. He had originally thought that he could control the second son and make him dare not disobey in the future, but he didn't expect that his wife would be so considerate. Why didn't he realize that Dong Xiaomai was so smart before?

Professor Dong then turned to the village chief and said, "Uncle, let's write down the details of the division of the family property, clearly stating the cause and effect. Make three copies and go to the commune for certification."

Writing down the reasons for the division is equivalent to holding the old woman's handle, and they will not dare to make trouble in the future.

The village chief shook his head and said, "Second daughter-in-law, whoever divides the family property needs to go to the commune to get a certificate? At most, the brigade will keep a copy. It's not necessary, it's not necessary. Since you all agree to divide it this way, then I will write it."

Guan's father: "Write it, village chief uncle."
