Gu Huai stood there with no expression on his face. Everyone looked at him with sympathy. What could he do with such a family situation?
Everyone around was talking at once, and Lao Gu also heard some of the gossip. His face was burning, and he felt a little embarrassed. After all, they were all from the same village.
People who see you everywhere are easy to be criticized.
So he pulled the village head over to discuss dividing the family property. What would be a fair and reasonable way to do it?
Anyway, this is the best thing to do, and it is more prestigious.
Mrs. Fan was not happy when she heard this. She shouted, "If we want to split up the family, they can just move out. Not a cent of the family has anything to do with them. Besides, our Gu family has been very kind to him and helped him find a wife. If they still want to keep their eyes on the Gu family's land or something, wouldn't that be too shameless?"
When Fan saw her head of the family discussing with the village head how much land and property to give to Gu Huai, she became extremely anxious and could not help but speak.
She wanted to leave her money for her son to take the imperial examination, so how could she give it to Gu Huai?
It's just a dream!
When the people around heard this, they were shocked. Isn’t Fan too shameless?
It's really rare to see this in your life!
She didn't even think about how much money Gu Huai had made for the Gu family over the years? Now that he saw someone injured, he wanted to kick him away? He was really heartless!
Although everyone's life has not been very good in recent years due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, the Gu family still lives a relatively fulfilling life.
The eldest brother, Gu Ping, helped with farming, Gu Huai was a good hunter, and Gu An was a scholar. After becoming a student, he became a little arrogant and thought he would be the top scholar in the future. He usually walked with his nose in the air.
The youngest daughter, Gu Lan, can also do some embroidery now, and life is much better for others.
Last year, they built several brick and tile houses, which is rare in the village.
But their family lived in the new house, while Gu Huai and Dou Dou lived in a dilapidated old house next to it.
Did everyone in the village see it?
It's just that this is someone else's family affair, and it's not convenient for everyone to speak up. But now that the family is about to split up, and they are still so harsh, the villagers are all standing up for Gu Huai.
Is this a typical case of crossing the river and destroying the bridge?
They simply don't treat Gu Huai as a human being. If it were a cow doing the work, even if there was no credit, it would still be considered hard work, right?
At this time, Gu Ping also came back, looking hurried and with dark skin. It might be because he worked in the fields, so he looked several years older than his actual age.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on? Why did we split up the family when everything was fine?" Gu Ping looked confused.
Seeing this, Liu Miaohua pulled him aside and said, "Don't get involved in this matter. Let my parents make the decision. Besides, when a tree branches out, a family branches out. Isn't that normal?"
Gu Ping was usually bullied by Liu Miaohua, so after being scolded, he didn't dare to say a word.
Old Gu looked at everyone before speaking, "Everyone, stop arguing. This is settled. Gu Huai has been separated. Gu An and Gu Lan haven't started families yet, so they live with us, the old couple, and the eldest son. We now have a total of eight acres of paddy fields and five acres of dry land. They were all earned through the hard work of the previous generation. Gu Huai is not good at farming, and now his feet are not convenient. He only has a woman and a child, so he can't farm even if he is given the land. How about this, give him two taels of silver..."
Before Old Man Gu finished speaking, the villagers around him suddenly exploded.
Everyone knew that they were harsh on Gu Huai and really treated him like a cow, but they didn't expect that the whole family was so black-hearted. It would be better to say that they were driving the whole family out than to say that they were dividing the family.
Old Man Gu looked at everyone and then said with a stiff upper lip, "As for the house, leave it as it is now. As for food rations, there isn't much left, so give Gu Huai ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, ten eggs, and five kilograms of sweet potatoes..."
Knowing that everyone was provoking him, Old Man Gu didn't dare to go too far.
Mrs. Fan heard this and yelled in dissatisfaction, "Why give so much to the second child? We don't have much left in our family."
Old Man Gu glared at her. This woman was really troublesome. There were so many people watching, including the head of the village. If she did something too ruthless, she would never be able to hold her head up in the village again.
Fan was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. She was going to sell these things for money, but now they were just given to Gu Huai for free.
The village head frowned slightly, then turned to Gu Huai and asked, "What do you think?"
Gu Huai stood there, and when he heard Old Man Gu's arrangement for dividing the family property, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had no say in the matter. When they saw that he was disabled, they wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so they wanted to divide the family property and didn't even give him any land.
Saying that he is not good at farming is probably just an excuse. Only when there is land can there be food.
He is a grown man, and now he is disabled. He has a family to support, and the woman can't help him at all. How is he going to live like this?
Isn't this going to kill their whole family?
The more Gu Huai thought about it, the colder his heart became.
Xie Yunjiao stood aside with her lips pursed. She remained silent and watched the Gu family's "performance".
In fact, she agreed with the separation in her heart. Living with such a top-notch family would cause more troubles. It would be better to live separately and have peace and quiet.
Now that she has traveled through time, she is unfamiliar with this place and will probably live with Gu Huai and his son, so she wants to feel comfortable.
She is a famous chef in modern times, and her grandfather is a doctor. She grew up with her grandfather and learned a little about medicine, so she thinks Gu Huai's foot injury is not a big problem.
In the future, the second house's life will definitely get better and better, and then we can give these people a good slap in the face.
Gu Huai didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit agreement with Old Man Gu's intention.
But Xie Yunjiao felt anxious in her heart. She had never been the kind of person who would suffer losses in silence. She had to fight for the benefits she deserved and not let them get them for nothing.
This is simply too much.
When Old Man Gu saw that Gu Huai didn't say anything, he felt relieved. It seemed that he agreed with what he said.
Just as he was about to ask the village head to notarize the documents, Xie Yunjiao, who was standing beside him, suddenly burst into tears and looked a little embarrassed. "Oh my God, how are we going to live in the future? My husband is disabled, and I'm a woman with a child. Is this bullying to my second branch by dividing the family? I can't live like this anymore. I'm going to die."
As she spoke, she was about to crash into the yellow mud wall next to her, but fortunately Gu Huai quickly grabbed her.
Everyone was shocked by her actions, but after thinking about it, they realized that what the daughter-in-law said made sense.
