The entire Xiaohe Village seemed to be completely quiet.
At this moment, everyone looked at Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu with something strange in their eyes.
Old Man Gu was so angry, but things had developed to this point and he no longer had the final say.
He gritted his teeth and finally nodded.
"We can split up the family, but everyone in the village knows that Lao Wu's family received twenty taels of silver from us a few days ago. That money is our family's coffin money, so we won't give them any food or money when we split up the family."
Old Man Gu said this and paused again.
He added, "Sixth and Fifth have always had a good relationship. This time the family splits up, why not let him stay with Fifth? Fifth knows how to hunt, so life will be easier for him in the future."
When these words were spoken, everyone sighed.
What Old Man Gu said was really nice.
But who among those present did not understand what he meant?
It is obvious that he has no regard for his reputation anymore. He even left his sixth son, who was paralyzed in bed, to be raised by his fifth son.
Those who originally thought that Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu had a decent reputation could not help but point fingers at the couple.
Old Man Gu had already been made a fool of himself this morning, so it wasn't too hard for him to accept this.
He just looked at Gu Linbei calmly: "You and Lao Liu have always had a good relationship. I think life will be easier if he follows you."
When Old Man Gu said this, his face was burning.
But what else can we do?
Things have developed to this point and it's become a joke.
Gu Linbei and Lu Yan looked at Old Man Gu calmly, as if they had guessed that he would say that.
Facing the two people's teasing gazes, Old Man Gu's face turned extremely ugly.
"Dad, what you said is true...food is so expensive these days. We can do without money, but not food." Lu Yan said, wiping his face.
She just couldn't stand the Gu family being a family of blood-suckers.
What can Old Man Gu do to her?
I just like the way they can't stand her but can't get rid of her.
As Lu Yan said this, Old Man Gu almost lost face.
However, Village Chief Zhou nodded.
He stroked his beard and said seriously, "That's right. I heard that the price of grain in the city has risen to 25 wen per jin, and that's coarse grain."
Zhou Hao goes into the city every day, so he is naturally well-informed.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Gu’s eyebrows twitched.
He wanted to refuse, but the elder of the Gu family had already been called over.
Soon, the family property was divided and a clan temple was established.
After going through a complicated process, Lu Yan's stomach was growling with hunger.
But Old Man Gu is still very stubborn.
Seeing that Gu Linbei was going to take half of the black noodles, he immediately became unhappy and grabbed the bag of food, refusing to let go.
The situation on Old Lady Gu's side wasn't much better.
Yu Nian took five bowls and two pottery jars.
Old Mrs. Gu refused to let go and held on to those things tightly.
When Lu Yan saw this, her head hurt so much.
Finally, in this chaotic situation, Lu Yan spoke up: "Since you won't give us food, then take all the chickens in the cages away from us."
It’s not that Lu Yan is anxious.
We will have to discuss the custody of Qingqing later. She gets irritable easily when she doesn't have food to eat, and I don't know if she can control her irritability.
"Don't even think about it!"
When Mrs. Gu heard that Lu Yan was planning to take advantage of her chickens, her voice almost split open.
Her reaction was really funny in Lu Yan's eyes.
"Of all the chickens raised at home, we should have a share, right? Mom, why are you so excited? You have six sons, and six chickens. If you give away two of them, we should at least take two, right?"
Lu Yan directly compared the brothers Gu Linbei and Gu Linxuan to chickens.
Gu Linbei couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Stop dreaming."
The person who spoke this time was Wan Mei.
Among all the people in the family, she is the one who cares the most about the chickens in the chicken coop.
I just hope that one day I can eat the eggs I lay every day.
In fact, the egg did come in.
Every now and then, there would be an extra egg in the chicken coop. She and Gu Lao Si would hide and eat it together on weekdays, and even Gu Lao Tai had never noticed.
"You still want a chicken? Lu Yan, are you worthy?"
Wan Mei was unhappy with Lu Yan yesterday.
Now when I heard that she wanted chicken, I was furious.
He started talking without any regard and even started making personal attacks.
Lu Yan had been putting up with this family for so long, so now that she had the chance, how could she not take the money? She turned around and looked at Village Chief Zhou with a helpless expression: "Village Chief, you saw it too. My fourth sister-in-law is Qingqing's mother. Isn't this killing her? And those injuries from yesterday, even God couldn't bear to see them."
Fortunately, it is not the rainy season today.
Otherwise, Lu Yan would have to build a lightning rod for them.
Wouldn’t it be a matter of lightning striking you?
But she obviously forgot.
There is something called drought thunder.
Just as Lu Yan said this, there was a loud "boom" in the sky.
This time, not only the villagers, but even Lu Yan himself was shocked.
She never thought that there would be such a fitting scene.
In a moment, everyone in the village was in panic.
Those who had previously suspected that the tree fall was man-made had a look of ashes on their faces. None of them could utter a word.
The village chief looked at Qingqing, who was hiding in the Gu family's yard, and finally spoke: "Then this child..."
Village chief Zhou knew that this was Wanmei and Gu Laosi's child.
So I can only wait for my parents to speak.
Gu Laosi slept in the field all night yesterday, and his body was covered with red bumps from insect bites.
Wan Mei, on the other hand, had obviously realized that it was impossible to use the child to control Lu Yan.
She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I'll sell this child to you for five taels of silver."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically.
In this village, every household is having a hard time.
But no matter how difficult life is, no one will sell their children.
Only those who are truly conscienceless can do such a thing.
"this……"
Village chief Zhou looked at Wan Mei hesitantly, wanting to persuade her a few more times.
But Lu Yan had already spoken: "Okay."
It’s not that Lu Yan is straightforward, but she doesn’t want to stay here any longer.
She is hungry.
Lu Yan wants to beat someone up whenever he's hungry.
There are so many people here, what will happen if my true identity is exposed?
Wan Mei didn't expect Lu Yan to agree so readily, and a look of regret immediately appeared on her face.
Lu Yan took out five taels of silver from his pocket and raised his hand to hand it to Wan Mei.
Wanmei reached out subconsciously.
At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly retracted his hand.
Wan Mei looked at her in confusion, with resentment in her eyes.
Lu Yan smiled and handed the silver to the village chief. "Village chief, I'll give this silver to you. Please be my witness. Also... we need a letter of severance."
