Chapter 89 Past Life

He sat down to the side and swallowed his anger.

"Alright, then I'd like to hear what kind of grand principles you can come up with!"

Qiao Wanyin took a deep breath.

“Dad, as you know, there are more than a dozen people in our family now, and we all eat and live together. Now that the children have all grown up, it’s really inconvenient for them to sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed) with their parents at night.”

"Besides, you see, my brother has already started his own family and career. After the family is separated, everyone can do their own job. Maybe they will be better off than living together like this now."

The brothers exchanged glances.

In reality, which daughter-in-law hasn't grumbled about dividing the family property behind her back?

But no one dares to take the lead.

For no other reason than fear that I wouldn't be able to get past the old man's approval.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Cunliang's expression grew even more gloomy.

"You make it sound so nice, but tell me, splitting up the family? Where will the money come from? And where will we live after we separate?"

Let alone dividing the property into three separate rooms, even if it's just one family, it's not an option.

He doesn't have the money to build a new house!

“I will pay for the new houses for my three older brothers, and Dad won’t have to worry about a single penny.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Hongmei was overjoyed and quickly seized the opportunity to speak.

“Father, we understand that separating the family is not about abandoning you and Mother. Don’t worry, even if we separate, we will still take care of you and Mother as always.”

Chen Yuxiu quickly chimed in, afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She stepped forward and put on a warm smile, saying, "That's right, Dad. Think about it, if we really split up the family, when you two get old, our families can take turns taking care of you. It'll be less troublesome and worry-free for you, and it'll be easier for us too."

Her tone carried a hint of pleading.

The eldest sister, Niu Chunqiao, has never been very talkative and has a rather dull personality.

When faced with a decision-making situation, I simply remain silent, sit there with my head down, like an outsider.

He neither supports nor opposes it.

Fu Li'an knew in his heart that the proposal to separate the family was most likely made by his fiancée.

Although Chen Yuxiu was also happy to separate the family.

But the person behind her is undoubtedly Qiao Wanyin.

He watched as Qiao Wanyin stood to the side, gazing expectantly at her father.

The expression on their faces showed their hope that the division of the family property would be successful.

Fu Li'an felt a warmth in her heart and became even more determined to help her and make the matter happen.

He stood up and walked over to Qiao Cunliang.

"When I was in the army, I heard many people say that sometimes when a family lives separately, it doesn't mean that the family affection has faded. On the contrary, it allows each family member to live their lives in peace, without having to cause conflicts over trivial matters, and they can live more comfortably."

After saying that, he raised his finger and pointed to the row of red brick houses that had just been built outside the wall.

It was a rather grand house.

He continued, "Look at Accountant Wang, his two sons have separated from the family and now they both live in spacious and bright brick houses."

These words immediately awakened Qiao Cunliang, who had been hesitant.

He squinted and looked into the distance, towards the impressive new houses.

Then he lowered his head and thought for a moment, quickly calculating in his mind.

"You left so soon?"

Qiao Wanyin immediately stepped forward.

“Mai Dong’s transfer order has arrived, and the military is asking him to set off as soon as possible.”

Qiao Cunliang seemed somewhat excited after hearing this.

He then waved his hand and made a decisive decision.

"Let's go! We need to get this certificate; we have to get it done today!"

His brows were no longer furrowed.

He knew very well that he couldn't let his daughter go to the army with Fu Li'an without a proper title.

This is not just a matter of saving face, but also a demonstration of responsibility towards one's daughter.

Fu Li'an had long hoped that this matter could be settled smoothly.

Now, hearing that his father-in-law is so understanding and even offered to go to the brigade immediately to get a certificate, he is truly amazed.

He felt a sense of relief and immediately replied, "Uncle, I'll take Wanyin to get the necessary paperwork done right away."

During this period, Village Chief Liu did not have an easy time.

Since his daughter was taken away as a speculator and detained for more than ten days.

The way the villagers looked at him changed.

As a respected village chief, this incident caused him to lose face completely.

Not only did I lose face, but I also always felt ashamed in front of others.

As a result, he has been in a bad mood for the past few days.

Fu Li'an brought Qiao Wanyin to the village committee to obtain a marriage certificate.

The staff didn't ask any further questions, though they were somewhat surprised.

But without saying anything more, he simply stamped the application form.

Before leaving, Qiao Wanyin specifically instructed Village Chief Liu: "Village Chief, don't worry, I will come back to the village every year to help. The medicinal herbs and fruits produced in our village are of good quality, and I will do my best to promote them."

Hearing her say that, Liu Wangfu finally felt a little relieved, and the seriousness on his face eased slightly.

He nodded and said, "It's good that you have this thought. Although the conditions in our village are slowly getting better, we still need young people like you to come up with more ideas."

When Liu Piaopiao heard the news that Fu Li'an and Qiao Wanyin had already obtained their marriage certificate, she was almost devastated.

That was the happiness she thought she could regain, but it vanished in the blink of an eye.

She was preparing to leave the village and return to her unit.

Upon hearing the news, he forgot all about packing his luggage and rushed out almost immediately.

She stood crying, blocking the road at the village entrance, desperately trying to stop the two of them, and kept shouting.

"Fu Li'an, you shouldn't have married her! You shouldn't have married her! I'm the one you should have married!"

"I was your wife in your past life. I... I traveled back in time! I came back to find you!"

Fu Li'an frowned deeply, feeling bewildered by Liu Piaopiao's sudden excitement.

He turned to look at Qiao Wanyin beside him, hesitated for a second, and whispered to her, "Wanyin, look at what she said... Is she... Is she not quite right in the head?"

As he said this, he subtly tapped his forehead with his finger.

Qiao Wanyin blinked her bright eyes, looked at Liu Piaopiao calmly, and then smiled slightly.

“Piao Piao, did you listen carefully to what you just said? Spreading such superstitious things is not appropriate. Don’t let outsiders laugh at you.”

Fu Li'an gently took Qiao Wanyin's hand.

"Qingqing, stop talking so much nonsense to her. I need to go back and pack my luggage. I can't afford to be late."

"No! You can't just leave like this! Fu Li'an! You remember your past life, you should remember me too! I am the one who belongs to you!"

Liu Piaopiao kept shouting and crying.

Fu Li'an listened to these incoherent words and couldn't understand why she was crying so sadly.

Looking at her almost frantic state, one could only think that this person was probably mentally unstable.

But Qiao Wanyin knew in her heart that there must be another reason why Liu Piaopiao said those words.

She took a small step closer to Liu Piaopiao's ear.
