On the second day, the Zhao family called the elders, uncles, and several respected elderly people to the yard.
These people came at this time to witness the division of their family. Such a big event naturally attracted many villagers to lie on the wall to watch.
His grandmother first criticized the people in the second house, especially Zhao Wei's various misdeeds.
They said that they had been lazy and had not been working at home for years, and they also beat and scolded their relatives at will. The family had been dragged down by their harm, and they could not make ends meet anymore, so they had to split up.
People from the third house came forward to testify that Zhao Wei was not only disrespectful to his elders, but was also extremely cruel to his nephews and nephews, causing his two children to be traumatized whenever they saw him.
The two children cooperated very well and lay in Aunt San's arms, crying loudly. They looked really scared.
As for his eldest uncle, they made a fuss about his drinking, saying that he was a prodigal son and that if the family was not divided, he would squander it all sooner or later.
Under the whipping of the crowd, Zhao Wei, drunk, made a grand appearance.
In fact, it was some leftover wine at home, which he used for acupuncture treatment last night.
The pierced areas need to be disinfected with alcohol. There are traces almost from head to toe, and the smell left behind is naturally very strong.
The impression given to people is that he is a jerk who is not doing his job and is drinking so early in the morning.
Everyone pointed fingers at him and Zhao Wei became an object of everyone's scorn.
Yunxiu followed behind him, her face flushed with shame. She covered her face with just a headscarf and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
But Zhao Wei was just standing there, and she had no say in this family, ah...
The uncle frowned and said, "Zhao Wei, from today on, everyone in your family will be separated and live separately. This is the distribution plan. Do you have any opinions?"
Zhao Wei glanced at the information at a glance and said in surprise, "Wow, are you kidding me? They only gave us a small shabby house in the mountains, a few acres of land, ten kilograms of food, and a pair of bowls and chopsticks for each person. That's it?"
His grandmother jumped out and said, "What's the matter? Do you still have any objections?"
"Your fourth uncle got into trouble, and all the money in the family was used to smooth over relationships. You should be grateful for this."
"Besides, I've raised you for so long, and I've been kind enough to you by not asking you to contribute half of my family property. Humph!"
If she didn't look down on their poor family, she would really do such a thing.
Zhao Wei laughed in anger: "If I don't agree to this division, what will you do?"
The rest of the people from the second house started shouting, "We all agree to this division. You people from the second house have no right to make a comment."
"As the younger generation, we have to listen to the elders and the clan members. Otherwise, it would be unfilial."
Zhao Wei smiled coldly: "Okay, since we are going to split, we have to split thoroughly, and add a condition. No matter how life goes in the future, no one from each branch can come to our house to cause trouble. Our second branch and the other three branches will have no kinship and will never have any contact with each other until we die."
These words were a bit harsh. Neighbors were still interacting with each other, but these close relatives made such a fuss. Everyone present thought that Zhao Wei was drunk and spoke without thinking.
With their poor family, and without the support of their relatives, I'm afraid they won't even be able to survive this winter.
As for the people in the first and third wives, they just wanted to separate and live their own lives, so I agreed with this.
In their opinion, they have been married and have built a career for so many years, and they still have to ask their mother for money for everything. This kind of life is not easy.
As long as we throw away all these burdens, there is no reason why life will be bad.
Therefore, they asked the elders and uncles in the clan to write down Zhao Wei's opinions.
Each room sent a person in charge to put his thumbprint on it.
It was at this time that the fourth brother Zhao Long also came back.
The grandmother’s hard work throughout the night was not in vain. Apart from being a little frightened, Zhao Long did not suffer much.
When he saw Zhao Wei at this moment, it was like seeing an enemy, and he rushed up to hit him.
"You bastard, it's all your fault. If you had come to pick me up earlier, there wouldn't have been such a big fuss."
"Now I can't go to school, and I have a criminal record. Just wait and see how I deal with you!"
…
Zhao Long was just a bully in his own circle. He wanted to teach Zhao Wei a lesson by relying on his seniority, but Zhao Wei easily dodged him. Zhao Long took out a wine bottle and hit it on the millstone with a "click".
"We have already separated, why are you pretending to be an elder here?"
"If anyone dares to touch me again, I'll make his head explode."
The broken glass was so dazzling that Zhao Long's courage was instantly lost and he looked at his mother.
"Mom, what did he mean? Have we...separated?"
When the old couple saw Zhao Long return safely, the depression caused by the separation of the family was relieved a lot, and they pulled Zhao Long with a gentle and kind look on their faces.
"Old Four, you're back just in time. Mom was almost driven to death by you yesterday."
"Quick, hurry up and put the thumbprint on it. If there is anything, let's close the door and talk about it in detail."
Seeing that his father and mother kept urging him, Zhao Long, who was usually the most favored, would not let himself suffer any loss, so he listened to their advice and pressed the thumb print.
Then, all the uncles and witnesses present put their fingerprints on the thin piece of paper.
At this point, the separation was finalized.
After the crowd had dispersed, his grandmother gave Zhao Wei some of the worst dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs in the house, and the food she gave was aged rice, which was yellow in color and even had worms in it.
As for what the other rooms were given, Zhao Wei and his wife were not even given a chance to take a look.
