When she thought of this, with a happy look on her face, she went to find Aunt Sun. There was no doubt that Village Chief Ge would not agree, but as long as her mother agreed, she would still have the final say on family matters.
And her mother has always been on her side, not to mention that she is quite dissatisfied with this third brother's wife.
So under her persuasion, even if the third brother was separated, what was there for mother to worry about? If the third brother's wife treated him well, would he still starve? If the third brother's wife treated him badly, wouldn't it be fine if the eldest brother and I took care of him?
In the end, Aunt Sun was still moved by these words and felt that what Liu Dan said actually made some sense.
So the family of Village Chief Ge started to argue again. Village Chief Ge was certainly unwilling to split up the family. But his sons didn't necessarily share the same idea. They all felt that after the family was split up, they would have better development without the burden.
A big tree has many branches, it has always been like this.
Village chief Ge finally decided to split up the family after his sons' silence. They were no longer together in heart, so what was the point in forcing them to stay together, even though they still had a daughter.
"Qingqing will live with us when the time comes. Your mother and I won't need to support our parents in their old age. When we get old, the village will also provide us with pensions. And when Qingqing gets married, each of our brothers will have to give her a dowry."
No one present disagreed. How much dowry could there be in the countryside? It was just a one-time payment. But what Liu Dan didn't expect was that even they were divided out.
"Why? My brother Zheng and I are the eldest sons, and we have two grandchildren. Why should we be separated as well?" Liu Dan was unwilling. With both of her parents-in-law being capable and taking advantage of her, how could she possibly accept being separated like this? But there was nothing she could do about it; Village Chief Ge had made up his mind.
"The house you live in is still yours. If you want to live outside, you can go out. If you want to stay at home, you can also live there."
After saying this, Liu Dan calmed down. She didn't want to leave anyway, because the house and property would belong to her family in the future.
Finally, the family was divided up with the witness of several uncles. Although it was a division, there was no vacant land for building a house. After all, Ge Qiuze's leg was still not good at that time, and they did not drive him out so quickly.
So most people had to keep their own things, and most of the pots, pans, and other utensils had to be left to Village Chief Ge and his men. Most of the money was divided, and everyone got a sum based on their family savings.
Although Liu Dan felt bad about the money, she also knew it was necessary to separate the people as soon as possible. Then, the money saved by her two parents would all belong to her family. After all, her mother always favored her family more.
After the distribution, everyone felt relieved.
Liu Dan felt even more as if she had gotten rid of a huge burden. She even saw that her second brother's wife looked better. At the beginning, the two of them didn't get along, but they rarely fought because they had no money. But when someone with money came, they would find that they both disliked each other.
Zhou Yian didn't expect the division to happen so quickly. She thought it would take a long time.
But seeing that the family had split up, she was also happy for Xu Luyao. After all, although Aunt Sun was nice to her, based on what she saw at the village doctor's that day, it seemed that she didn't get along very well with her.
So when the two of them were free, they followed each other up the mountain. Unlike Song Songbai and the others who were skilled and brave, they were both timid, so they basically went to places that were common to everyone.
The two were chatting happily when they saw a little kid on the mountain.
Zhou Yian recognized him; he lived in the cowshed.
When she saw the kid, she remembered that she had almost forgotten that there were a few such people in Gejiazhuang, because their presence was too low.
As a little boy, he cried while climbing the mountain.
Zhou Yian didn't feel anything, but Xu Luyao went up to him directly. Seeing him was like seeing her own child when he was little. "What's wrong? Are you crying?"
"My mother, my mother is sick, and I want to find some medicine for her." The little boy cried and said while wiping his tears.
"What disease is it?" Xu Luyao asked.
"Mom is very hot and coughing," the little boy said. "She fell asleep and can't do any work today. I want to find some medicine for her."
He came to the mountains to look for medicine. Does he know any herbs?
Xu Luyao also thought about it. Fever is quite fatal. It would definitely not be good if someone died in Gejiazhuang. But she didn't have the medicine.
If it was some kind of medicine to recuperate after a broken bone, that would be fine, but it was a fever, and Ge Qiuze didn't have this disease.
Zhou Yian gave birth, "I bought medicine when I had a fever last time, but I don't know if it's the right medicine for me."
Medicine is something that cannot be given out casually, as it would be bad if something happened. But if she had the medicine, she still couldn't bear to watch people who didn't have it die of illness.
"There's an uncle in our shed who knows," the little boy said immediately, "He's looking for herbs over there."
As he was speaking, the uncle came out, looking quite haggard. It was true that if he was treated like this, he would have to look haggard. "The medicines for treating fever are all similar, and they can basically be used. Thank you, two educated youths."
Since that was what he said, Zhou Yian went back by himself to help get the medicine. He didn't ask anyone to go with him. After all, there were many people around and they would talk a lot. It would be bad if Hu Yue and the others found out.
After taking the things, he returned to check whether the medicine worked or not.
"Of course, Zhou Zhiqing," the uncle said, breaking off a small piece from the boy's mouth and tasting it before nodding. "Thank you very much."
That’s right, the medicines he got now were all in pills, and Zhou Yian himself couldn’t tell which one belonged to whom.
It was just some medicine, so Zhou Yian didn't take it seriously at all. Unexpectedly, the next day, there were some wild fruits from the mountain in his basket for no apparent reason.
Zhou Yian felt it was good after eating it.
Time passed, and Ge Qiuze gradually recovered. There was no sign of limping. Liu Dan was so angry that he skipped two meals.
The busy farming season was finally over, and Ge Qiuze and his family began to prepare to recruit people to build a house. Even if they separated, they were still under the same roof, so friction was inevitable. He had money in his hands, so he would not be willing to squeeze into the same room.
But his money was money that could not be talked about. He had always kept it a secret even from his family, let alone outsiders. Seeing that he was able to use the money to build a house, on the one hand, people thought that he had been given some money when the family was divided, and on the other hand, it meant that he had a good wife, which made the remaining female educated youth somewhat popular.
But both of them rejected the matchmaker's suggestion.
I know that she cares about Qian Tu because he is thinking about his future. It seems that Qian Tu is not without intention, but I don’t know when he will be able to achieve his goal.
Hu Yue probably had other ideas, and Zhou Yian was too lazy to explore them.
As for her and Song Songbai, she smiled and asked, "Have you got the letters of introduction?"
After being married for more than a year, I am finally ready to go back to Beijing to meet my parents.
