They called out to Xu Yejun.
She slowed down a couple of steps, pulled Xu Yebing behind her, and asked in a low voice.
When Xu Zhenzhu asked, Xu Yebing naturally did not hide anything.
The brigade leader and the party secretary were already suspicious. Xu Yejun only vaguely said that he wanted to divide the family property, but did not say how or why. They were also suspicious.
Hearing Xu Zhenzhu's question, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
He immediately frowned.
Where does this kind of family division work? Separating an underage girl and severing ties? What kind of decorum is this!
If word gets out, wouldn't it become a laughing stock?
However, Xu Yejun raised a crucial issue, saying that Xu Siya had become involved with the person in the cowshed, which made things a bit tricky.
The brigade leader and the party secretary knew a little about the inside story. The guy from the cowshed, although he was sent down to their brigade, had someone above made arrangements for him to have a peaceful and quiet life, and not to be disturbed by anyone.
Otherwise, why would he be sent to watch over the oxen? There was no limit to how much he had to do each day when clearing land. He was only given a plot of land at the foot of the mountain to do as he pleased, and he was only allowed to check on the progress every ten days or half a month.
For this reason, they even held a special meeting in the brigade to repeatedly forbid anyone from the brigade from going.
Others might think that it's forbidden to associate with the "Five Black Categories," but who knows they have good intentions and are afraid that the brigade might disturb that person?
Upon hearing that the Xu family wanted to separate from Xu Siya and sever ties because of that person, they wanted to offer some advice, but swallowed their words. After all, this matter had to be kept secret, and if it leaked out, they couldn't afford the consequences if their superiors investigated.
Moreover, the world is unpredictable these days. After all, her class background is questionable, and her future is uncertain. It's understandable that the Xu family is being so cautious.
The brigade leader and the party secretary were both cunning old foxes; they exchanged a glance and understood each other's thoughts and positions.
Xu Zhenzhu, however, frowned.
Unexpectedly, Xu Siya was incredibly lucky; she survived several days of high fever and coma.
And they even caused such a commotion!
As expected, Siya was no pushover. For over a decade, I had been carefully suppressing and subduing her, thinking that I had successfully brainwashed her into accepting her fate. But I never expected that once she fell into the water, she would reveal her true colors. It was clear that her previous honesty and obedience were all an act!
That's so cunning!
But if she wasn't scheming, how could she have married such a wonderful man as Lu Kai in her past life?
She had already planned it all out for the rest of her life. If Siya was lucky enough to survive, she would find a way to arrange a marriage for Siya that would leave her with unspeakable suffering, and send her away to completely sever the connection between Siya and Lu Kai.
We should also trample her underfoot, just like in her past life, so that she can never rise again.
But if Siya separates from the family and leaves, she won't be able to control her anymore.
On second thought, Xu Zhenzhu felt that this was also a good idea.
Now that she's the one who saved Lu Kai, this marriage has fallen to her, and no one can take it away from her!
Given Siya's cunning, what if she really stays in the Xu family and takes a liking to Lu Kai, and then uses underhanded tactics? After all, she and Lu Kai were a loving couple in their past life, so she has to be careful!
Moreover, Siya had gotten involved with the "Five Black Categories" in that cowshed, it was as if even God was on her side.
With this connection, Lu Kai's family is of impeccable lineage and would never have any connection with Siya.
Although the "Five Black Categories" will be rehabilitated in the future, if things really turn out well, Si Ya might benefit from it.
However, in her memory, this "five black categories" member in the brigade seemed to have always been unknown and unnoticed. She had never heard of him before and figured he wasn't anyone important.
Even if he is someone important, could he be more powerful than Lu Kai? Lu Kai is the richest man in the provincial capital!
Xu Zhenzhu felt relieved.
Following behind the brigade leader and the others, we entered the house.
The group entered the Xu family's house. The brigade leader and the party secretary didn't waste any words and asked them how the family planned to divide the property.
Miao Cuihua felt emboldened when she saw the brigade leader and the party secretary arrive.
Since they had already agreed to separate their families and sever ties, Xu Ningyan let her go.
Hiding behind her two sons, she rolled her eyes impatiently and said, "What's there to divide up with a little girl like her? She can't take a single blade of grass, a single piece of paper from this house! Let her take the clothes she's wearing, and give her ten pounds of sweet potatoes!"
The brigade leader frowned: "There's still a while before the summer harvest. Ten pounds of sweet potatoes won't be enough to eat. Besides, where will she, a young woman, live if she's separated from her family? Even if we're going to sever ties, we're still family. We can't go too far!"
The Party Secretary chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.
After much persuasion and haggling, they finally settled on a deal: Xu Ningyan would receive twenty yuan, twenty jin of sweet potatoes, ten jin of broken rice, and that was all.
The captain felt he had done his best and didn't want any more trouble.
So he chuckled and said, "Siya, although there's not much, if you eat sparingly, it should last until the summer harvest. After the harvest, you'll get your share of food! This twenty yuan isn't a small amount, so take good care of it."
Xu Ningyan didn't care about these things and money.
But she figured she might as well take the money, so she readily accepted it.
Watching the branch secretary write the family division list, in triplicate, after it was written, the brigade leader and he signed it as witnesses, and the Xu family members and Xu Ningyan stepped forward to sign and affix their fingerprints, each taking one copy.
As for the letter of severance of kinship, the Party Secretary hesitated for a moment. Since neither side had any objections and the family had already been divided, he, as an outsider, didn't need to say anything more and picked up the pen.
Xu Ningyan didn't quite trust the Xu family's character and words, and she also didn't understand the current household registration system, so she naturally wanted to ask for clarification.
I asked the brigade leader and the party secretary if Miao Cuihua meant that if she left home and her biological parents came back, would they really cut off all ties?
The brigade leader and the party secretary nodded: "You registered your household under your uncle's name back then, so you're his daughter. As long as he agrees, that's fine! If you're not comfortable with that, go to the brigade headquarters tomorrow and get a certificate for you. Then you can go to the commune to transfer your household registration out of the Xu family and register as a separate household."
Xu Ningyan was slightly relieved. She read the letter of severance of kinship written by the branch secretary. It stated that Xu Siya, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, was originally the daughter of the second branch of the Xu family. She was adopted by the eldest branch at the age of three. Now, Xu Siya has severed all kinship ties with the Xu family, including the eldest, second, and third branches! Xu Siya's future life, old age, sickness, death, marriage, and children will have nothing to do with anyone in the Xu family. The life, death, sickness, and old age of the Xu family members will also have nothing to do with Xu Siya, and they will not need Xu Siya to support them.
Xu Ningyan carefully read the letter severing ties with his family three times to make sure it was correct before pressing his fingerprint on it.
Everyone in the Xu family, including the children still in the arms of Xu's two granddaughters-in-law, put their fingerprints on the document to show that the whole family agreed.
After carefully putting away the family division agreement and the letter of severance of kinship, Xu Ningyan pretended to put these two items and twenty yuan into her pocket, but actually put them into her spatial storage.
Then, without hesitation, he picked up the twenty jin of sweet potatoes and ten jin of broken rice that had been given to her and left the Xu family's house without looking back.
