Chapter 29: Girls Separate from the Family (2)

stand up.

Tang Liren stared at Uncle Bai San, extremely disappointed, "Okay, okay!"

Uncle Bai took a puff of his cigarette and turned his head away, unwilling to look at Tang Liren.

The village chief discussed with several production team leaders, group leaders, and several elders in the clan in a low voice, and then said to Uncle Bai: "Zhengqing, there has never been a precedent for girls to separate from the family in our village...so whether to separate or not is up to your family to decide. If you decide to separate, the village committee will move Zhenzhu's household registration out of yours and set up a separate household for her."

"But for the sake of fairness, you'd better divide the family property in front of everyone, and make sure that the pots are pots and the basins are basins. After you have made it clear, you can no longer quarrel over the family property!"

Bai Feicui stuck her head out from behind Aunt Bai San and said loudly, "There's nothing to divide. My third sister is very capable. She can go up the mountain and farm... Let her take her clothes. Everything else belongs to my family!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Feicui immediately retracted her head behind her mother.

Everyone was amazed.

Aunt Bai was so embarrassed that she tried hard to keep a smile on her face...

Uncle Bai had a sullen face and remained silent.

It was Bai Zhenzhu who was lying on the ground who spoke up, "...If this is what my parents want, then so be it. I have no objection."

Everyone was shocked——

"Pearl, don't be so silly!"

"Pearl, you work so hard to earn all those work points and rice, and you don't want them anymore?"

"That's right. How can you compensate your uncle when you have no money? Are you trying to evade the debt?"

"Zhengqing, you have to think it over carefully. Zhenzhu just hit a wall and jumped off a cliff. She is covered in wounds. If you ask her to leave the house now, it would be like forcing her to death!"

"Isn't Bai Feicui too vicious? She is so cold and indifferent at such a young age!"

Uncle Bai ignored everyone's comments and said loudly, "Okay! Then it's settled. All of Zhenzhu's clothes will be given to her, and the rest will be ours."

Bai Feicui's face was filled with joy, which could not be concealed.

Aunt Bai frowned, looking sad.

"Sister-in-law! Listen to me." Uncle Bai suddenly said.

Everyone fell silent.

Tang Liren looked at her uncle expressionlessly.

Uncle Bai was silent for a long time before he said, "Brother's old injuries haven't healed yet, and he has new ones. Xiao Hongdou's life and death are uncertain, and even Dongsheng's wife is suffering. I know all this... In fact, I really want to find an opportunity to go to the town and ask Brother how to compensate..."

Bai Feicui said anxiously, "Dad! We have already separated! What Bai Zhenzhu did has nothing to do with us!"

"Shut up!" Uncle Bai roared.

Bai Feicui bit her lips in grievance.

Uncle Bai said to Tang Liren, "Sister-in-law, why don't you just name an amount? I'll pay it back no matter how much it is... If I can't pay it back, I'll pay it back in ten, twenty, or thirty years. As long as I'm still alive, I'll pay it back slowly!"

Tang Liren's expression eased a little.

Third Aunt Bai was also anxious. "Boss, you still want to pay her debts after we have divided the family? Then, then what is the point of our division?"

"It was you who were asking for separation. I gave in to your wishes. Why are you still asking me?" Uncle Bai asked back.

Aunt Bai: ...

Bai Feicui, "Dad, this is Third Sister's own fault. Why should she drag us down with her? Besides, we have already separated the family. Let her be responsible for her own mistakes!"

Uncle Bai stared at his little daughter, as if he didn't know her. "Jade, let me ask you, when did we separate?"

"Today! Just now! Everyone in the village can testify!" Bai Feicui replied.

Uncle Bai, "When did your third sister do something stupid?"

Bai Feicui was stunned and murmured, "Yesterday..."

Uncle Bai, "That's it! Zhenzhu did this before the family was divided. As a father, do I have to take responsibility for my child?"

White Jade: ...

"Dad! Are you going to take this responsibility for her? Then what about me and mom?" Bai Feicui's eyes turned red.

Uncle Bai sneered, "How about we divide the family again in front of the whole village? One family for your third sister, one family for your mother, one family for you, and one family for me?"

Bai Zhenzhu, lying on the stretcher, had tears in her eyes and her lips were trembling, "Dad, Dad..."

——Thank you for not giving up on me!

Uncle Bai stared at Pearl lying on the ground with a fierce look in his eyes, and roared, "You debt collector, shut up! How can you be so patient? You dare to hit your uncle, throw the child, touch the wall, and jump off the cliff! When you recover from your injuries, I will teach you a lesson!"

Pearl cried like a monster.

Bai Feicui also cried angrily, "Dad, this family can only rely on me but not her!" As she said that, she covered her face and cried, then turned around and ran away.

Aunt Bai became anxious, "Hey! Jade! Jade..." Seeing that her husband ignored her, she stomped her feet and went to chase her little daughter.

Uncle Bai asked Tang Liren again, "Sister-in-law, just tell me the amount! I have no skills, I can only farm, but I will not default on my debts. Give me a few more years and I will pay it back."

Tang Liren, "Let's wait until your brother is discharged from the hospital and Hongdou's condition stabilizes!"

Uncle Bai thought about it and felt that he had to wait until Hongdou’s situation became clear before deciding on compensation, so he nodded.

He put his hands on his waist, looked up at the sky, and whispered, "When Dad died, my fourth child and I were still young... At that time, my eldest brother was not very old, and he was not even as tall as a hoe, but in order to support the family, he also gritted his teeth and went to work in the fields. The same is true for my third daughter, who was only eleven or twelve years old and could not even carry a hoe, but she also gritted her teeth and insisted on going to work in the fields with me."

Bai Zhenzhu, lying on the stretcher, bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

Uncle Bai's eyes were slightly wet, and he said to Tang Liren, "Sister-in-law, I am uneducated and don't know how to raise a child, so I raised such an evil child... This matter is my responsibility, don't worry, I will pay for her sins! Children are the debts of their parents in their previous lives!"

As soon as Bai Zhenggan finished speaking, someone shouted -

"The police are here!"

Everyone twisted their necks and turned their heads to look—

Sure enough, from a distance, Song Zhi was walking towards this side accompanied by two police officers wearing big hats and pushing bicycles.
