My Whole Family's Setting Collapsed

After Gu Xin recovered from a serious illness, she discovered that her whole family had changed.

Her father, who was a gambling addict and nearly sold his wife and daughter, said he would nev...

Chapter 686 If Wealth and Prosperity Come, Let Us Not Forget Each Other

The second wife's family, who had already been separated from the first wife, had nothing to say, but they found Gu Ren's behavior strange.

The three time travelers who knew Gu Ren's identity looked at him with surprise, not understanding why he was so excited.

Gu Ren struggled to climb off his uncle and ran to Gu Xin's side with his short legs: "Xin Xin, Xin Xin, don't separate, don't separate."

Gu Xin: "?"

I'm just a kid, I have no say in the family division, so please forgive me!

Grandma Gu looked at Gu Hui and her two siblings: "You're just like your parents and brothers, you don't want to divide the property either?"

Gu En and Gu Si both looked at Gu Hui, indicating that they would listen to their older sister.

Gu Hui thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, we share the same thought as Dad and Mom. You and Grandpa are still young, and my dad, second uncle, and fourth uncle all need your guidance!"

Uncle Gu chimed in, "Father, Mother, this division isn't fair to me! Xiao Huan and I are just two young people, how would we know how to manage a household? We need you, Father, Brother, and Sister-in-law to look after us!"

Grandma Gu glanced at Uncle Gu and said, "When your brother and sister-in-law were your age, their two young daughters were already able to gather pig feed!"

Uncle Gu: "..."

Grandpa Gu suddenly said, "Dividing the family is inevitable. The second son will pass the exam next year and may become an official in some place. At that time, the second branch of the family will have to go with him. The eldest son will stay at home to manage the fields, and the fourth son will continue to do carpentry. Everyone will have their own life. If we don't divide now, it will be like this in the future."

Gu Xin, holding Gu Ren, suddenly raised her hand: "May I say something?"

Everyone looked at Gu Xin.

Gu Xin said, "Grandpa, why can't we be together? Didn't you say, 'Brothers united can break metal'? Like when the debt collectors came, my eldest uncle and fourth uncle could help, and Huihui and Enzi could help too. Also, when someone bullied my mother, my sister, dad, and I weren't home, my eldest aunt and Aunt Xiaohuan came to help. If someone bullies me and Sisi, Huihui and my sister Enzi will also help. Grandpa, you also said that a single chopstick breaks easily, but a bundle of chopsticks doesn't break so easily. So why should we be separated?"

Gu Ren really wanted to complain: "Can't you break a bunch of chopsticks? Let your grandma try!"

The two elders were taken aback, clearly not expecting Gu Xin to say that.

The two elders exchanged a glance, then looked at Gu Shouxin, Cai Xiaolian, and Gu Nian: "What about the three of you? Do you share the same opinion as Xinxin?"

Gu Shouxin smiled and said, "Father, Mother, actually I had this plan before, but I haven't done it yet, so I didn't say anything. In the future, when I pass the imperial examination and achieve high honors, according to the court's policy, I can't serve as an official in Qingzhou Prefecture, so I will definitely be in another place. I was thinking of taking Father, Mother, and my eldest brother, Lao Si, with me."

Cai Xiaolian: "I'll listen to his father."

Gu Nian: "I have no objection."

She didn't have many friends here, but she got along well with Gu Hui. Now that she knows Gu Ren's identity, she really doesn't want to part ways.

Uncle Gu and Fourth Uncle Gu were clearly surprised that Gu Shouxin had this idea. They were deeply moved. Sure enough, the money they lent to the second brother (Second Brother) all those years was not in vain, and the beatings they endured with the second brother (Second Brother) all those years were not for nothing.

He lived up to the saying, "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

Although the two brothers didn't want to leave Sanchakou Village at all, they were genuinely happy to hear Gu Shouxin's words!
