"Mom, Yunjiao just got married and hasn't adapted yet. She's also not feeling well. Can you take a couple of days off?" Gu Huai hoped that she was just impulsive and would take it back later.
"If it's still the same in a few days, we'll break up now." This daughter-in-law dared to disobey him just after entering the house. What will happen in the future? Humph! The second son was not lovable in the first place. After all, he was not a biological son. Now that he married such a bitch, there was no need to talk about any affection!
It’s time to break up, out of sight, out of mind!
"But, mother, will the neighbors criticize us for doing this? After all, we're moving out right after marrying a new wife." Liu Miaohua said with some concern.
"Didn't I tell you to go and ask the village head?" Fan glared at her.
Liu Miaohua was not angry. She smiled and ran to ask for help.
"You guys should pack up too. Everyone come out. The headman will be here soon and you can move out after the things are divided." After saying this, Fan turned around and walked out, not giving Gu Huai any chance to speak.
Xie Yunjiao watched coldly without saying a word. In fact, she was happier not to live with these top-notch people. She wanted to light firecrackers to celebrate.
But she knew that Gu Huai was a filial son, and in ancient times, men were the head of the family. Xie Yunjiao had just arrived, so she didn't say anything.
After a while, the head of the village and several more prestigious elders in the village came over.
Seeing Fan, the village head frowned, "Old Gu, what are you doing out of the blue?"
Did Liu just say her mother-in-law wants to split the family business? I hope I heard it wrong.
"Village head, I asked you to be a witness today. Gu Huai's family will be separated from the Gu family." Fan's sour old face was full of determination.
"What do you, a woman, know? Where is your head of the household? Hasn't he returned from work yet?" The village head looked around and said with a frown.
"Village head, I am the head of our family. I have the final say in this matter." Fan's attitude was very firm. She couldn't let that bitch have the chance to ruin her children's future. Besides, she had this idea a long time ago!
Gu Huai stood there, his deep eyes dark and unclear. He didn't say anything and his emotions could not be seen.
The head of the village sighed softly, alas!
He turned to look at Gu Huai and said in a long and stern voice, "What do you think? According to the current situation, you won't get anything from the family division, and your life will be difficult in the future!"
Gu Huai nodded and responded, "Let's do as mother wishes!"
There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.
The head of the village also knew about his situation, and he had heard about what the old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Gu, had done over the years!
I don’t know what Mrs. Gu thinks about this matter, but it’s still not fair!
Gu Huai had just gotten married, and they couldn't wait to separate him from their family. Although he was not their biological son, Gu Huai had been treated as a son to the Gu family over the years, working hard and being no worse than a biological son.
It is really inhumane to split up the family at this time.
However, although I am the head of the village, this is their family affair after all, so I can't say anything.
He glanced at Fan, then at Gu Huai, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "You two should think it through. This family division is a big deal!"
"Think it over, let's split up!" Fan straightened her back, her triangular eyes revealing shrewdness.
The Gu family made such a big fuss that people from the village also came to watch the fun.
After all, everyone knows about any disturbance in the village.
Now the yard is full of people watching the fun.
Xie Yunjiao curled the corners of her lips slightly. It turns out that people from ancient times to the present have liked gossip.
And the speech is also very interesting!
"This Fan family is truly formidable. How could they divide the family while their parents are still alive? Isn't she afraid of shortening her lifespan?!"
"Fan's move is brilliant. She's been wanting to separate Gu Huai for a long time. Now she has a large family and a small place. Besides, Gu Huai is married, so there's one more mouth to feed. Isn't she going to kill her?!"
"That's unfair. Everyone knows how much Gu Huai has contributed to this family. He works so hard. Even cows need to eat grass to work!"
"That was in the past. Ever since Gu Huai injured his leg while hunting last time, he's not as agile as before and can't bring in much money for the family anymore. So, the Fan family doesn't want to support an idler anymore. Sigh, the world is so cruel!"
"Yes, you hit the point. The Fan family is such a shrewd and calculating person. Poor Gu Huai, now that he is no longer useful, he was kicked out."
"Alright, alright, this is someone else's family affair. We outsiders should just watch the fun. It's really our own fault!"
"Hey! That's what I said, but after all, I watched Gu Huai grow up. We are all from the same village, and Gu Huai is a good person. Although he is a little quiet, he is very hardworking."
The villagers all felt sympathy for Gu Huai, but it was unfortunate enough for him to have such a family.
Xie Yunjiao finally understood the reason. It turned out that Gu Huai was not Fan's biological son, and he had been seriously injured before. No wonder Fan was so realistic!
At this moment, the head of the family, Old Gu, came back from outside carrying a hoe. Someone must have informed him. As soon as he came back, he glared at Fan and gave her a fierce look. "Are you bored, woman? Why are you dividing the family property so nicely?"
Mrs. Fan was not someone to be trifled with. This matter had to be resolved today. She placed her hands on her hips and shouted confidently, "We must separate today. If you think he's good, you've been with them."
Old Gu was startled by her yell and immediately lost his composure. "But there's no need to be so anxious. The second son just got married. Won't this lead to gossip?"
"Hmph! What are you afraid of? What are you talking about? If you marry such a jinx, there will be no peace in your family in the future, so we must separate as soon as possible. Besides, when my An'er passes the imperial examination and becomes a high-ranking official, those people will all shut up." Fan said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Old Gu remained silent. Now their hopes were on Gu An, and they would rely on him to bring honor to the family in the future.
The village head sighed, it seemed that this matter was a foregone conclusion.
Old Gu, the head of the family, always looked at Fan's mood. He would yell a few words when he came back, but he could not change Fan's decision.
The corners of Xie Yunjiao's lips twitched slightly. What kind of family is this?
The best of the best in the family, but it’s better this way, just divide them. Otherwise, her precious son will blame herself if he fails to get the top spot in the imperial examination?
With such a mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, how can I have a good life in the future?
She glanced at Gu Huai and saw that he had a dull expression. She wondered what he was thinking.
I hope Gu Huai can see their true colors!
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's get started!" The village head said seriously with a stern face.
