The next morning.
When the captain received the news from Huo Jue, he rushed to the Huo family.
Many people in the village heard the news and stood at the door of the Huo family to watch the excitement.
"Huo Jue, are you and Huo Xiao really going to separate?"
"Your splitting up is hilarious. Neither of the two brothers is married, and you're already arguing about splitting up. Will Mrs. Huo agree?"
"Oh, you don't know. Everyone knows that Huo Jue and Huo Xiao are having a conflict. Huo Jue is not stupid. It's impossible for him to give all the time. And Huo Xiao has to study. Tell me, even a cow can't plow the fields all the time, right?"
Huo Xiao's gaze fell on the villagers who were saying these words outside the house. His face looked very ugly, and seeing that his elder brother was not affected at all, he simply stopped caring.
The captain walked over and closed the gate of the yard, cutting off the people's inquiry.
He smiled dryly: "Huo Jue, Huo Xiao, now that you two have made everything clear, shouldn't you also sort out how to divide these things in the room?"
Huo Jue and Huo Xiao exchanged a glance, and Huo Jue quickly stepped forward and said, "Captain, here's the list. You can take a look at it first. If there's no problem, Huo Xiao and I have already discussed it. That's it."
His gaze fell on Huo Jue, and a hint of gloom flashed across Huo Xiao's eyes, but quickly disappeared.
The captain looked at it carefully. After realizing that the list was very well done, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, this information is very well done!"
Huo Jue heaved a sigh of relief. "In that case, I'll sign this document under your witness."
As he spoke, he glanced at his brother. Huo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and his gaze fell on Huo Xiao. There was a hint of concern in his eyes as he looked at him. "Sign it."
The two brothers quickly took a pen and signed their names.
The captain, acting as a witness, looked at the two brothers several times and said seriously, "Since you two have signed your names, it means that the family has indeed been divided today. From now on, the issue of supporting your grandmother will be up to you two brothers, taking turns every month."
When Huo Jue heard this, he glanced in Huo Xiao's direction and said, "There's one more thing. Although our Xiao Bo doesn't support his mother, Wen Zhiqing and I do contribute money every month. This money will be used as support for taking care of grandma. Whoever takes care of grandma every month will receive the money."
The captain nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Huo Xiao and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
Huo Xiao shook his head. He had not expected this to happen.
He had always thought that his brother would hide this matter, and he was ready to expose it, but he didn't expect that Huo Jue would actually tell it out loud at this moment.
Huo Jue's gaze fell on Huo Xiao, his eyes filled with emotion. "Huo Xiao, I've said everything I need to say in front of the captain. Is that okay on your end?"
Huo Xiao shook his head. Huo Jue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Since everything is fine, Captain, then it's settled that we'll split up."
The team leader nodded, took out the village committee seal and struck it. He looked at Huo Jue and said, "The division has been completed, but what should we do about Wen Zhiqing's whereabouts?"
There are not enough places for educated youth in this village to live in. We finally found a place for her. Now Huo Jue is asking for a separation. At least we had Old Mrs. Huo before, but now Huo Jue is the only one left. It is not acceptable.
"Wen Zhiqing has her own ideas. The captain can ask her about them."
Wen Xia Nuan had already sent a telegram back to Beijing some time ago, and it seems like she should be arriving in the next few days.
She was indeed thinking of her own plan in her heart. She stared at the captain and said, "I have already thought of a plan. Captain, it's no secret that Huo Jue and I are looking for a partner."
"Everyone in the village knows about this. I've also sent a telegram back home these past few days. If my family agrees, I'll marry Huo Jue."
As soon as Wen Xia Nuan said this, not only the captain was stunned, but even Huo Jue looked at her in disbelief.
She felt uncomfortable being stared at by these two people, and her voice became puzzled: "Is there something wrong with you two looking at me like this?"
"Wen Zhiqing, are you sure you want to marry Huo Jue?"
The captain knew Wen Xia Nuan's identity better than anyone else.
Now that she has chosen this path, it has really caused Huo Jue a lot of criticism.
"I know what you want to say. With this separation, once the villagers know that Huo Jue and I are dating, there will definitely be rumors, but I don't care."
She glanced at Huo Jue a few times, her gentle voice filled with satisfaction. "I know Huo Jue, he's not the type to act recklessly. And after spending some time with him, I understand he's a down-to-earth, hardworking man. Captain, outsiders can say whatever they want."
Huo Jue was filled with emotion.
Huo Xiao was standing nearby when he heard these words, and a thought flashed through his mind. However, he did not speak at this moment. Instead, he smiled and said, "If there are any rumors in the village, we will naturally explain them clearly. There is no need to trouble you, sister-in-law, to worry."
"Brother, it's a good thing that you're getting married. You really should start a family sooner."
Old Mrs. Huo didn't expect that Wen Xia Nuan would actually choose to be with her grandson.
She was still a little bit in disbelief at this moment.
After hearing these words, the captain smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
He left quickly, and Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. "Wen Zhiqing, are you sure you really want to be with me?"
Wen Xia Nuan nodded without thinking and said, "Don't be so self-deprecating. I've already told my family about this matter. Huo Jue, if you don't believe me, come with me to town this afternoon to get a telegram."
"Then how can you be sure? Your family will definitely hand you over to me?"
Huo Jue looked stunned. Wen Xia Nuan burst out laughing: "Huo Jue, aren't you too unsure of yourself?"
"Does this even need to be said? Of course, I chose to say this because I understand my family's situation."
She said this very seriously, and Huo Jue responded, "Okay, I'll go with you to town this afternoon to get the telegram, and by the way, tell the Chen family that the brick production is almost done."
