Chapter 31: Separation



When Zhou Suisui said this, Gu's mother burst into tears.

"Sui Sui, Mom is really upset. Being hurt like this by my own granddaughter, Mom feels so sad."

"Although I usually love my boys, I've never treated my girls badly either. But you treated me like this. I'm really heartbroken."

Zhou Suisui wiped the tears from Gu's mother and said, "Mom, you still have a wound on your head. Don't cry. Dahua is still young. She will be fine after a good education."

Mother Gu shook her head: "She's already eight years old after the New Year. A grown-up girl knows everything. You don't need to comfort her. She just grew up crooked, and there's no way to change her."

Zhou Suisui kept silent. She couldn't say that she also thought Dahua was a bad person.

What hurts Gu's mother the most is not her physical pain, but her heart.

Zhou Suisui stayed for a while to take care of his mother and went home when there was nothing serious. Zhou Suisui was worried about his eldest son and the others being alone at home.

After Gu Erge carried Erhua into the house, he wanted to find shoes for her, but he couldn't find Erhua's shoes after searching for a long time.

Seeing Lin Sanmei lying in bed crying, she felt very annoyed. "Lin Sanmei, where are Erhua's shoes? And her cotton coat?"

Lin Sanmei pretended not to hear and kept crying.

"Sister Lin San, I'm asking you a question!" Brother Gu raised his voice.

Lin Sanmei stood up with swollen eyes and said, "What shoes? She doesn't have any shoes, not even a cotton coat."

"What? Didn't mother give you cloth when winter came? Last year, mother also gave you cotton to make clothes. Where are the things?" Second Brother Gu was shocked. He was not mistaken. Although he wanted a son, it did not mean that he did not care about a daughter.

Lin Sanmei continued to cry without saying a word.

"say!"

"What are you shouting about!"

"Where's the stuff?"

"Give...the things...to my mother." Lin Sanmei's voice became lower and lower as she spoke.

Second Brother Gu: ...

I was completely furious, and the anger that I had just suppressed came out again.

Pop.

"You spendthrift woman! Do you only have your parents and your useless brother in your heart? Erhua is your biological child, don't you feel sorry for her at all? Who allowed you to move our Gu family's things to your mother's house!" Second Brother Gu shouted.

Lin Sanmei wanted to argue for herself, "They are my biological parents. Besides, Erhua is still young and doesn't go out in the winter. Why would she need cotton shoes and cotton clothes?"

"Fuck you, Third Sister Lin!" Second Brother Gu cursed angrily.

"Divorce! You must go to the county town with me tomorrow to get a divorce. We can't live like this anymore!"

Lin Sanmei was shocked: "You are crazy, Gu Jingxi. My mother, my brother, and I have been beaten by your Gu family. What else do you want? I gave birth to two children for you, and you don't have any gratitude at all?"

"I don't want to live anymore! You ungrateful and heartless man, tell me, do you have someone else outside? Oh my God, why is my life so miserable?" Lin Sanmei cried with tears and snot.

Erhua saw her mother crying, and crawled over using her hands and feet to wipe her tears.

"Mom, don't cry, Erhua, be good."

"Get out of the way! You little bastard, why are you going out for no reason! If it weren't for you, your father would divorce me? Get out!" After saying that, he waved his hand and knocked Erhua's hand away.

Lin Sanmei used a lot of strength, and Erhua's dry and cracked little hands immediately swelled up like small buns.

"Wow." Erhua, feeling the pain, sat on the kang and burst into tears.

"Third sister Lin!" When Brother Gu saw Erhua being beaten, he gritted his teeth and rushed over to slap her again.

Dahua had already hidden away and didn't dare to help her mother anymore.

Her father was so cruel, her face still hurts.

Second Brother Gu put some safflower oil on Erhua's hands, then shamelessly went to the main room to ask Sister Gu to borrow a pair of Xiaoya's cotton shoes and clothes.

Xiaoya is two years younger than Erhua, but they are about the same height. Erhua is even a little thinner than Xiaoya. Brother Gu felt uncomfortable holding Erhua's light little body.

My life is such a failure that my daughter has to suffer as well.

The next morning after breakfast, Zhou Suisui brought her three children to the old house. As they had said yesterday, the family would be divided today. Although their third branch had nothing to do with it, they still had to be here.

"Today, all three of your families and Xiao He are here. Let's divide the house. Your mother will lie in the house and won't come out."

"We still have 300 yuan here, and I plan to divide it into four parts. One part is for Xiaohe's wedding, and the remaining three parts will be divided into one for each of the first and second wives, your mother, and me."

"As for why I have to leave a portion for Xiao He, you two brothers know exactly where this money came from. With your two families farming every year and two children each, there's not much left at the end of the year. This is all the filial piety money that the third brother has given us over the years, so I say I'll give it to whoever I want, right? You all have no objection, right?"

When the eldest and second brothers Gu heard this, they quickly shook their heads and said, "Dad, we have no objection."

"Okay, then please write it down in black and white. The food will be divided into three parts, and the pots and pans at home will also be divided into three parts. We are old and can still work, so we don't need you to give us anything. If you are willing, just give us a bite when you have something in the future."

"There is also the issue of retirement. In the future, your mother and I will be supported by the eldest wife, and the second wife will only need to give us 500 kilograms of coarse grains and 50 kilograms of fine grains every year, just like in the village. The same goes for the third wife. If we don't have grain, we can use money to pay for it. Do you have any other ideas?" asked Gu's father.

"No more." said the two people.

Gu's father divided the property fairly, and Mrs. Gu had no objection. As for Lin Sanmei, she had no right to speak at all, and her face was swollen.

After the village chief wrote it down, he made three copies and pressed his fingerprints on them. The family was considered to have received all the money. The first and second wives each received 75 yuan.

After the village chief and others left, Zhou Suisui went into the house to visit his mother.

"Mom, these are the dumplings I cooked this morning. Please have some." Zhou Suisui said.

Gu Jingheng didn’t know that his mother was injured, otherwise he would be very worried. Zhou Suisui also had the obligation to take care of him.

"Sui Sui, thank you for your help." Mother Gu said with emotion.

"What are you talking about? I brought a lot of dumplings. Dad, have some too."

"Give it to your mother. I won't eat it."

"I can't finish it, you have some, old man." The young couple have been companions in their old age, and the relationship has been very good over the years.

At this time, someone else came from the Gu family. It was Gu Lan and her family of four.

Gu's mother and her family didn't expect that Gu Lan and her family would come back for the Chinese New Year this year, mainly because they never come back every year.

And these things happened again during the Chinese New Year this year, and Gu's mother and others were not prepared at all.
