"Yes, it's a decision, made after careful consideration! We hope the village head can witness it for us!"
"We also hope that our clan chief can grant our wish!"
Zhiyin's eyes were filled with determination and resolve.
The village head and the clan chief exchanged glances, then looked at Yao Yulin with serious and heavy eyes. "Second daughter-in-law, have you made up your mind? Are you just going to let your daughter run wild?"
Yao Yulin glanced at her grandparents and the others, whose expressions were inscrutable, and then at Zhiyin and Zhihua, who were staring at her nervously. Suddenly, she smiled brightly, the most relaxed and joyful smile she had given since her husband's death.
She was already extremely beautiful, and even after being hurt, she still couldn't hide her beauty. When she smiled, her eyes seemed to sparkle, and a proud aura suddenly appeared.
This left everyone present speechless with astonishment.
"Village head, clan chief, I'm sure! I believe my daughter wouldn't harm me. Even if she's just being silly, I'm willing to play along!"
Her voice was full of trust and pride in her kindred spirit.
My confidante's eyes welled up with tears without her even realizing it; the feeling of being completely trusted by someone is truly wonderful.
At the same time, she made up her mind that she must do everything she could to impress everyone and let everyone know that the decision they made was right!
"Me too! Me too! I want to be with my sisters too!"
Zhihua waited for a long time, and seeing that the village head and clan chief still did not ask for her opinion, she couldn't wait to speak up.
The thought of leaving this home soon made her big, round eyes sparkle with anticipation and longing.
"You... sigh... fine... since you insist on this, I won't say anything more, I just hope you won't regret it."
The village head looked heartbroken and helpless.
Upon hearing this, the three friends breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with smiles, and they couldn't help but hug each other excitedly.
"Thank you, thank you village head and clan chief!"
The three of them quickly and sincerely thanked him.
The clan chief beside him couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, child, it's alright. Even if you've separated from your family and severed ties, you'll still share the surname Zhi and be one clan. You can come to me if you encounter any trouble in the future."
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, clan leader."
Although I don't know if he was sincere or not, my friend appreciated his kindness and remembered his words.
The onlookers couldn't help but sigh at the sight, their eyes filled with sympathy as they looked at Zhiyin and the others.
To be honest, they could almost foresee how miserable the three of them would be after they separated.
The grandparents and others had very different expressions, a colorful palette that was quite amusing.
Grandfather and eldest uncle breathed a sigh of relief. This was good; three less burdens, three less troublemakers, three less troublemakers. Without them, they could even save some food.
However, Grandmother and Aunt looked displeased, feeling that the three of them were ungrateful and, more importantly, that dividing the family property would mean taking away their money!
hateful!!
Grandmother wanted to say something more, but Grandfather, quick as a flash, covered her mouth, his eyes full of warning.
"Fine... if that's the case, then let's split it!"
As the village head spoke, he took out paper and pen from his sleeve and began to write the family division agreement and the agreement to sever ties.
The clan chief, however, looked at his grandfather and said, "Since it's a division of the family, let's also give away what should be given to the second branch of the family."
Before her grandfather could speak, her grandmother said reluctantly and with great reluctance, "Our family doesn't have anything good. Ten pounds of white flour, ten pounds of brown rice, and ten copper coins are already more than enough!"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but add sarcastically, "It wasn't us who forced them to leave. Since they're so capable, these things are probably enough for them."
Upon hearing this, not only the village head and the onlookers, but even the grandfather couldn't help but frown.
The clan chief's face immediately darkened, and he was furious. "Eldest daughter-in-law, are you sure? You're driving someone to their death!"
How can they be so stingy and miserly? They won't even give us a piece of land, just some food, and so little of it.
Especially those ten copper coins, it was practically no different from giving money to a beggar, you could only buy three meat buns.
This is really going too far. She dares to be so presumptuous with all of them here. What if they weren't here?
At the same time, I can understand why this family of three was so badly bullied that they were so determined to separate!
"Hehe... Just kidding, just kidding, how could that be?"
Grandfather glared at Grandmother and apologized with an awkward smile.
The expressions of the clan chief and the village head immediately improved.
"The previous ones are all the same. In addition, they will be given 3 mu of land at the foot of the village, and they will also be given a thatched house next to the old house to live in!"
After finishing speaking, the grandfather saw that the village head was about to speak again, so he said helplessly in front of him, "That's all we can divide. There are still so many people in our family who need to be fed, and Fu'er and Zhao Di are growing up and will have to get married and go to school. We have to think about them too!"
The village head frowned as he looked at Zhiyin. He was actually quite dissatisfied, after all, the thatched hut was very narrow and small, and its safety was poor.
A few days ago it was covered in snow and almost collapsed.
Zhiyin nodded nonchalantly, adding, "Okay, but I want to take the little black dog with me."
She looked tenderly at the little dog that seemed to know they were leaving, pawing at her feet and rolling around affectionately at her feet.
Grandfather had thought his friend would say something outrageous, but when he found out she only wanted a dead dog, he immediately relaxed and nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
At this moment, the village head had finished writing the family division agreement and the letter of severance of kinship. He handed the documents to his grandfather, took out an inkpad, and said, "If you have no objections, come up and put your fingerprint on them!"
“From now on, the second wife and you will have no further connection, and the three of them will no longer need to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days.”
"Hmph, who cares? Do you really think those two little girls will become rich? We'll be grateful if they don't drag us down in the future."
Grandmother's expression was mocking and disdainful. After saying that, she added fiercely, "I also have to say this: since you insist on dividing the property, we will no longer care about the life or death of the three of you!"
Zhiyin ignored her completely and, along with Yao Yulin and Zhihua, eagerly pressed their fingerprints on the paper.
Grandmother glared at her and muttered a curse under her breath, "What an impolite brat!"
After saying that, seeing that his grandfather had already pressed his fingerprint, he reluctantly pressed his as well, but his predatory gaze still lingered on the three of them.
