Liu Xiangbei was unwilling.
"Who dares to touch my money! I earned this penny by penny, and none of you are getting any of it."
“Liu Xiangbei! The family hasn’t separated yet, so why can you save money on your own while we have to hand it all over to Mom? You’re taking it today whether you like it or not,” Bai Ying said, stepping forward.
The village secretary and several elderly people never expected that dividing up a family property could lead to such a big issue, and they looked at each other in dismay.
"Third Uncle, where did you hide the money?"
Liu Xiangbei tried his best to cover his mouth, but he still couldn't resist the power of the truth symbol.
“I deposited them in the bank; the passbook is in my inside pocket.”
Upon hearing this, Ge Cuihua rushed forward and pulled out the bankbook from his inner pocket.
Liu Xiangbei didn't know what was wrong with him today; he kept speaking the truth, which led to this situation.
His money, the money he worked so hard to earn, he doesn't want to share it with everyone; it's all clearly his.
Ge Cuihua couldn't read, and when she opened the passbook, she was completely lost.
She called over her granddaughter Liu Xiaoya, who was closest to her, and asked, "Take a look, how much money is there?"
Everyone stared intently at the green notebook in Liu Xiaoya's hand, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
Liu Xiaoya counted several times before she was sure.
"Grandma, my third uncle has saved 45,000 yuan."
Well, the sudden and overwhelming surprise stunned everyone, especially Ge Cuihua and Bai Ying.
Suddenly, he possessed a huge sum of money.
The next second, Ge Cuihua was no longer happy. Firstly, her beloved son had secretly saved so much money behind her back. Although she controlled the family finances, she hadn't saved as much money as her third son over the years.
Secondly, she thought about having to distribute the money, and even giving it to her least favorite eldest son's family—more than ten thousand yuan! Just thinking about it made her heart ache.
What was even more heartbreaking was the situation of the third son's family. Liu Xiangbei felt like he had encountered a ghost and kept slapping himself in the face.
Fang Fang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Da Hai and Xiao Hai felt heartbroken thinking that all the money originally belonged to their family and now they had to give it away.
"Third brother, you two are too cunning! You've been lying to us for so long, this money must be split equally," Bai Ying said with a hint of schadenfreude.
Even if they hide so well, they're still just working for their families.
“In that case, we should definitely separate. From now on, you can each go your own way and not hold each other back,” Liu Zhuzi sighed.
"Two rooms in the house were given to the eldest son, and the rest were divided equally."
The land was also divided equally, with each family having two paddy fields and two plots of land. The specific location was determined by drawing a paper ball; whichever plot you got was your plot.
There are now a total of blocks here, divided into four parts, with each family receiving a block.
Do you agree to this division?
Grandpa Liu Zhuzi was actually quite fair.
Everyone nodded in agreement; who wouldn't love free money?
Only Ge Cuihua shook her head desperately.
“I disagree. The eldest son’s family cannot take a single penny of the family’s wealth, nor can they take a single piece of land. If the family is to be divided, you will all have to leave with nothing! You cannot take anything with you.”
"Why should I?" Lin Guihua disagreed.
Liu Zhuzi tapped the table, signaling her not to say anything out of turn.
"Big brother, didn't you ask your dad back then if you were our biological son?"
As soon as the old lady said this, it was as if a big surprise was about to be revealed, and the whole family looked over nervously.
Liu Xiangdong clenched his fists nervously, while Lin Guihua silently held his hand, giving him strength.
Liu Yihang never expected that money could move people's hearts, and that Ge Cuihua would finally tell the truth in the face of profit.
He found it ironic that Ge Cuihua was such a cunning person, always scheming and never telling the truth when she thought they were useful.
Upon seeing that so much money was about to be taken away, they immediately became obedient.
"Ge Cuihua, shut up!" Liu Zhuzi's forehead veins bulged.
"Why should I! I'm going to say it!"
"Eldest son, you're definitely not our biological child. We adopted you, so you can't take a single penny from the house."
No sooner had Ge Cuihua finished speaking than she was slapped by Liu Zhuzi.
"Why are you hitting me? Am I not telling the truth? He's an outsider, why should he take so much of our money?" Ge Cuihua scratched at Liu Zhuzi relentlessly.
The onlookers were stunned.
The elderly people in the village remained calm.
Anyone who has been a parent can see that.
If they were one's own biological children, one would never treat them with such obvious discrimination.
Liu Xiangdong felt a mix of emotions for a moment, a complex blend of feelings.
He finally found the reason why he hadn't been valued or loved for so many years. He didn't seem particularly sad; on the contrary, he felt a sense of relief.
Without expectations, there will be no disappointment.
This family of vampires will no longer be a responsibility he can't shake off.
Liu Zhuzi looked ten years older, and looked at Liu Xiangdong with a guilty expression.
In his early years, he and Ge Cuihua had been married for three years without having children. They heard that there was a highly accomplished monk in a neighboring county, so they traveled a long distance to pray for a child.
They were fortunate enough to meet the eminent monk.
He said they were destined to be childless.
Adopting a child who is destined to have siblings might help resolve this issue.
The couple, preoccupied with their own thoughts, suddenly heard the cry of a baby on their way down the mountain. They actually found a baby in the woods.
Moreover, when they opened the swaddling clothes, it turned out to be a baby boy. In those days, many girls were abandoned, but boys were rarely seen.
Inside the boy's blanket were three gold bars, some gold and silver jewelry, and a stack of money, amounting to several hundred yuan.
He must be from a wealthy family, and his parents probably had no choice but to abandon him in this desolate wilderness.
