“I told your uncle that I wanted to separate the business, but she overheard me and hit me.”
Han Lenghua didn't hide it; her eyes were red.
My mother-in-law was already unhappy, and now that she's injured, she's even less likely to agree.
She would bully her even more. Thinking about the future, Han Lenghua wanted to find a pillar and just kill herself.
"Auntie, do you want to separate the family?"
Han Luoxue never expected that the usually timid and submissive person could be so assertive for once.
Han Lenghua nodded, recounted the recent events at home, and finally sighed:
“Xue’er, you are the younger generation, and your aunt shouldn’t be telling you these things. But your aunt also wants to find a way for your two younger sisters to survive.”
"Mother, we also want to separate out."
Daya and Erya ran in carrying baskets on their backs, not even having time to put them down. Daya said angrily:
"Grandma makes us go out to dig for vegetables every day, but there's nothing outside now. If we don't bring them back, she beats me."
As she spoke, she pulled up the sleeve of her patched-up clothes, which was covered with countless scars, some of which were still bleeding.
"Yes, Mother, let's separate them."
Er Ya also pulled open her clothes, revealing numerous wounds on her body. She even pulled at her back, where the bloodstains were heartbreaking to see.
Han Lenghua was in so much pain that she could only shed tears, while Yan Gang looked worried and anxious, fearing that he might take the child out and let him starve to death.
"Father, Mother, and Grandma bully our family, but no one else does."
Da Ya pouted and shouted angrily.
"Uncle-in-law, what do you mean?"
Han Luoxue was also shocked when she saw this; her aunt's mother-in-law, Madam Tan, was even more ruthless than Old Madam Han.
"If we separate from the family, we'll just have to wait to die."
Yan Gang looked worried, but Han Lenghua raised her head with a determined expression:
"Yan Gang, let's break up. It's better to starve to death outside than to be beaten to death by your mother. If you still don't agree, I'll take Daya and Erya back with me, and we're not going to live together anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yan Gang immediately became anxious:
"That won't do, we'll go together."
Seeing that they had made their decision, Han Luoxue turned and exchanged a glance with Han Yuchen before the two of them walked out together.
They easily found the person in charge of the village, and the two went over and asked:
"Grandpa, are you the village head?"
Tan was burned, so Yan Ming couldn't go in and was waiting outside. When he heard the question, he looked at Han Luoxue and thought to himself that this girl was really pretty and didn't seem like a village child at all.
"I'm the village head, young lady, what can I do for you?"
"Han Lenghua is my aunt, and you saw what just happened. My aunt does all the housework in this house, and her mother-in-law beats her. My two younger cousins are also covered in bruises, and now my uncle is seriously injured. I think my aunt has no way to survive in this house. Please do me a favor and let them go."
Although Han Luoxue didn't say it was her aunt's idea, the village head knew that Yan Gang and his wife were truly heartbroken.
Yan Gang's head had bled so much; he was terrified just looking at it.
"It's not up to me to decide; their family needs to discuss it together. But little girl, every family is struggling these days. If your aunt really wants to divide the family property, she probably won't get much."
The village head offered a very pertinent reminder.
“My aunt knows that, but she just doesn’t want to be beaten for no reason anymore.”
Even the village head couldn't refute this reason.
Half an hour later, amidst Tan's cries of pain, Yan Gang and Han Lenghua were driven out.
The Tan family said that they could separate the family, but they couldn't take anything with them, including the house they lived in.
This Tan family member is comparable to Old Lady Han, but Han Lenghua's expression was firm; they were left with nothing.
They really left with nothing; they weren't allowed to take even pots and pans. Yan Gang's four brothers watched the family of four leave with eyes wide open, as if guarding against thieves.
As Yan Gang stepped out of the gate, he sighed:
"We've been separated, but where will we go from here?"
Han Lenghua didn't know either, and tentatively suggested, "How about we go back to my parents' house first?"
Should we go there and make do for a day or two before figuring out a solution?
Seeing the two people looking worried, Han Luoxue comforted them:
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go to the village head's house and talk to him first."
"Ah, Xue girl, the family division is already complete, what else is there to say?"
It was their first time dividing the family property, and neither of them had any experience. However, Han Luoxue was quite adept at it. She smiled mysteriously and explained:
"Although the family division was just witnessed by the village head, the official documents haven't been completed yet, and the government hasn't filed them, so the division doesn't count."
"Ah, Xue girl, how are you so smart? You know everything?"
Han Lenghua never expected this.
"I've been through this before."
Han Lenghua: Could it be Xue Yatou's idea that Third Brother's family was separated?
Han Yuchen stayed with them, while Han Luoxue hurried off to find the village head.
She didn't mince words and went straight to her purpose, which made the village chief's expression less than pleasant!
This is the first time their village has ever split up a family like this.
"Grandpa Village Head, please help us get this done as soon as possible. My home is in town now. Once the documents are ready, please let me know so I can come back and pick them up."
As Han Luoxue spoke, she took a large cabbage out of her basket. It weighed about ten pounds, and its vibrant green color made one want to take a bite.
"Grandpa Village Head, once it's all done, I'll give you another tree as a token of my respect."
No matter the time, politeness gets you everywhere, while rudeness makes it hard to get anywhere. When Han Luoxue took out the cabbage, the village head's eyes lit up.
He immediately took out paper and pen and began writing the family division document. After finishing, he even proactively said:
“There are three copies of this document. Their family members are all here now. We’ll go over and have them sign it. I’ll go to town tomorrow to register it.”
Han Luoxue nodded. Cabbage is really useful; it's more effective than silver.
The village head was very quick; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everything was handled clearly and thoroughly.
Han Luoxue and Han Yuchen came on horseback. It was quite far from here to the town, but it was only an hour's journey back to Hutouya Village.
“Aunt, this horse can't carry many people. Do you want to go to Hutouya Village first or come with us to the town? My parents are living in the town now, and our house in the village is vacant. If you don't mind, you can stay there for a while. Don't worry about food; I'll give you some to eat first.”
Han Luoxue was still a little worried about sending Han Lenghua and the others back to the village and giving them more food.
The Han family will definitely go through the motions without any shame. Her eldest aunt is a pushover and rarely stands up for herself. You can't expect her to stand up for herself every time, can you?
She can help them once or twice, but not forever. If you can't stand on your own two feet, no one can help you.
"Let's go to town instead."
Hearing this, Han Luoxue smiled and said, "Okay, have some water first. I'll go back and prepare some food. We'll eat when you get there."
Han Luoxue took out a bamboo tube and handed it to them.
Han Lenghua and the others were also thirsty, so they drank in large gulps.
