"Dad!" Guan Zanqiang cried out in tears, "Dad! I'm not a debt collector!"

"Yes! You are not a debt collector. If I don't separate you, you might become a life-collecting ghost."

Listening to Guan Zanqiang's words, Zhou Xiang wanted to laugh for some reason, and she quickly lowered her head.

Guan Bo stopped talking and asked the village chief to write a separation agreement and a severance agreement.

Ling Ran had already prepared paper and pen. The village chief wrote it down and copied it five times, and the two agreements in six copies were ready.

Guan Bo's elder brother, younger brother, and the village chief all signed and put their fingerprints as witnesses. Guan Bo and his aunt also signed and put their fingerprints.

Ma Zhao went out and brought the two people in. They were unwilling to sign, so Ma Zhao stuffed a pen into their hands and said, "Sign now! You've done what you want. No one will tolerate your temper anymore. You're the best at forcing parents to sever ties with their children!"

Guan Zanfu made a final struggle, "Mom and Dad, please forgive me one last time."

Aunt Guan turned her head away. She didn't want to look because she was afraid she would feel soft-hearted.

Guan Bo shook his head. "It's gone. The chance is gone. My heart has turned cold. So, my love has also been ruined by you."

Liu Hui was stunned. "My signature doesn't count, right?"

Guan Zanxiang was in a bad mood and barked at him, "Stop being so hypocritical. You've coaxed Lili into doing whatever you say. She said you have full authority, how great! Even when Dad asked her to come back to divide the family property, she told you to have full authority. Sign it! I'm the most unlucky one, being implicated by you. Tell Lili, don't call me by my name when we meet next time, and I won't acknowledge you."

Ma Zhao raised his fist, and the two of them quickly signed and put their fingerprints on the agreement.

Ma Zhao brought Guan Zanqiang over again and said, "It's your turn now. You're the one who hurt your father-in-law and mother-in-law the most."

Guan Zanqiang refused, "I won't sign, I won't sign. I want my parents."

Ma Zhao chuckled, "Haha, don't you have an older brother? Don't you have a sister-in-law? You even celebrate Chinese New Year with them. You look down on Guanjia Village, you think the roads are shabby and the houses are dilapidated. This time, I'll let you go completely. Hurry up and sign! Such a big event today is not a game, it's not a joke."

Guan Zanqiang hid, "I won't sign, I want my parents back, Zhou Xiang, give my parents back to me."

Zhou Xiang shook his head. "You lost it yourself. You didn't want it so you just threw it away. I picked it up. I want it so I will treat it like a treasure. What are you going back for now? Are you going back to shelter you from the wind and rain? Are you going back to be your willful support? You are selfish and still want them to worry about you, but I want them to worry less.

When you were little, they protected you from the wind and rain. When you grew up, they became old, and you started to find their protection a nuisance!

If you don't protect them, I will. They are old, lonely and scared. I will come to protect them from the wind and rain. I am their strong backing.

You should thank me because they raised you when you were little, but I'm the one who'll take care of them when they're old. How wonderful it is for you to be free and at ease! Sign your name and get out of here before I get mad."

When Guan Zanqiang heard the last sentence, he quickly picked up the pen to sign and put his fingerprints on it. Zhou wanted to get angry and beat him up.

Ma Zhao sighed and handed the agreement to his wife, "Sign it!"

Guan Zanxiang's hands were trembling. She also wanted to refuse. She hoped that everything that happened today was just a dream, and when she woke up, she would still have parents.

Ma Zhao whispered in her ear, "They don't recognize you. I'll go see them. Don't worry! We can't let Ah Fu and the others continue to do this. Something bad will happen."

Guan Zanxiang nodded, "Thank you for your tolerance."

"Who told you to be my wife? Let's just live a good life."

"Um!"

After Guan Zanxiang signed his name, everyone took a copy and the village chief took one copy. The 30,000 yuan was divided into 7,500 yuan each.

Then the village chief began to write the gift agreement, which was written in two copies.

Guan Bo asked Ling Ran to drive him and Zhou Xiang to the Judicial Bureau for notarization.

"Think about it, it would be more reassuring if this was notarized. No matter whether it was the village or my unfilial sons, they wouldn't dare to come back and make trouble."

"Okay! Let's go! Uncle and the village chief will come with us."

The two cars drove out, and those who were left behind left. Ma Zhao carried Guan Zanfu and Liu Hui, while Guan Zanxiang pushed his younger brother and left the Zhou family together.

Father Zhou sighed, "Wife, I feel really bad. Why was I so messed up before? Now my good daughter is being given half by others, and I dare not even fart."

Zhou's mother sneered at him, "You deserve it! You sowed the seeds of guilt yourself. Do you think that just because I forgive you, there will be no trace of it? It's like a wound. Even after it heals, the scar is still there. You will never forget it."

I'm the same way. Don't think Xiang Xiang is close to me, I've hurt her a lot. If you and I use family affection as an excuse like Guan Zanfu and the others do, and Xiang Xiang loses patience, we'll just as resolutely leave."

Zhou's father thought that it was fortunate that he still knew his limits and did not ask for anything or be greedy.

"From now on, we must maintain our current mindset, not be greedy or talkative."

Mother Zhou's eyes burned. "Yes! I constantly remind myself to be clear-headed. This family was run by Xiang Xiang, so I need to be clear-headed. But Xiang Xiang always gives in. She even planned to move out after we get married, and she even gave in on this house she built herself."

Father Zhou was shocked. "Think about it and say that?"

"It's me. I'm worried that marrying into our family with both men and women would seem inappropriate to outsiders! Just think about it: when she builds the Beitou Supply and Marketing Cooperative store, she'll use the top floor as a residence and leave a room for us and the eldest brother."

Father Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. "Since Xiang Xiang mentioned leaving a room for us, it must have been planned long ago. This house is small after all. When Xiang Xiang builds a house, it will definitely be comparable to the buildings in big cities.

She can't always live with us. If a family lives together all the time, there will definitely be conflicts. It's better to live separately, just like the second child. Wouldn't it be annoying if you often live with her? Think about leaving a room for us so that we can rotate and keep our distance while still maintaining family ties."

"You really think so?"

"Yes! That's how I feel. You're upset about Fatty Guan's family. Are you overthinking it? It's true that she wants to give in, but she won't give in all the time. If she gives in on her own initiative, it means she's annoyed."

"So, does that mean she's annoying us?"

"I didn't say that. What if she gets annoyed by this place and this building?"

"Oh! I won't talk to you anymore. The more I think about it, the more confused I get. In short, we can't ask for too much. Think about who we are doing this for. We can't refuse. We can't think that she should be good to her family instead of others. Just like Guan Bo, if she wants to be a godparent, then she can. We have no right to interfere."

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense and make dinner quickly. Guan Bozhun will be here soon. Now we're actually related, so we'll be even closer."

"Okay! Cook, cook. I'll just start thinking too much."

The couple went to cook, and Grandpa Xiao listened to the broadcast of their conversation again. He sighed and thought that family affection was difficult to maintain, especially when the children got married, conflicts would increase.

It seems that when he returns to Beijing, he will divide the family as well! Otherwise, the second family will speak harshly every day, and the eldest family will have enough to endure.
