"What? You want to split up the family property now? Are you crazy?" Old Mrs. Lin heard this news as soon as she opened the door.
"Your third branch of the family has no male heirs. How can those two girls possibly uphold the household?"
“Anniang, I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart. You’re raising two children alone outside. Can you bear the gossip and rumors coming from outside?”
Old Mrs. Lin tried to dissuade her.
Although they didn't know why Anniang had become so terrifying during this time, the Lin family all felt that it was only temporary and that the third son's wife would definitely recover. At that time, they would not only have three more maids, but also three more people to protect them. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
However, Old Mrs. Lin dared not voice her true thoughts and could only appeal to people's emotions.
"Tell me, are you going to split it or not?" Lin Anniang crushed a stone in front of them.
Grandma Lin shuddered instantly: "Divide it, divide it right now!"
She rushed into the house and told Grandpa Lin about it.
Old Master Lin passed away early and had no idea about the later appearance of Old Madam Gongsun, nor did he know about all the speculation. He was already thoroughly fed up with his third daughter-in-law.
"So what if we break up? Do we expect her to keep riding on our heads forever?"
Having been publicly humiliated so many times, Old Master Lin felt utterly disgraced and wished he would never see Lin Anniang again!
"Don't we need to discuss this with our eldest granddaughter?" Grandma Lin hesitated.
The old lady always thought that the eldest son's family was very smart. The eldest son and the youngest son were studying at a private school, and even the eldest granddaughter studied with her teacher for a while and was praised!
Moreover, the one with the most ideas is this eldest granddaughter, whom Grandma Lin feels is capable of anything.
No matter what the problem is, it can be resolved by talking to the other party.
So Grandma Lin kept waiting for her eldest son's family to come back from the county town to visit, but they never came.
"What's there to discuss? So what if Lian'er comes? Can she beat the third son's wife?" Old Master Lin said angrily.
"No matter what the conspiracy is, one punch and everyone has to behave!"
old lady:"……"
She swallowed hard and stopped muttering to herself.
"Go and gather everyone here, we're splitting up the family!" Old Master Lin simply couldn't take it anymore!
The news that the Lin family was going to split up spread very quickly.
A group of uncles who were preparing sacrificial offerings were completely stunned.
"At a time like this, what's Lao Liu doing making a fuss? Doesn't he know we're about to go and repair the temple?"
Before the group of elders were invited over, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin felt that the villagers around them were looking at them very strangely.
This morning, when everyone heard Old Madam Gongsun's remarks, they all wanted to curry favor with Lin Anniang. How could this family want to split up? Isn't that crazy?
"Great, Father, Mother, we've finally separated!" Lin Erluo was beaten twice in public, and like Old Master Lin, he couldn't stand it and wished he could hide away and never see anyone again.
Wu Cuiying, however, did not seem happy. After the family split up, she would have to do all the chores, big and small, at home. How could that be acceptable?
She's going to be exhausted trying to do all this by herself! No, she has to find a way!
“Father, since we’ve already divided the family property, why don’t we divide it all up?” Wu Cuiying suggested enthusiastically.
"Nonsense! Your parents haven't even spoken yet, what are you saying?" Lin Erluo retorted angrily.
"Do you know how much my parents have spent on me all these years? I finally achieved something in my studies, how can I separate from them now? Do you want me to be talked about behind my back by everyone in the village?"
"Don't bring this up again, or we're done for!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Cuiying was both angry and furious. She covered her face, cried, and ran away.
"Can't we have a moment of peace every day?" Old Master Lin frowned deeply.
Before long, the elders of Linjia Village arrived. Naturally, they dared not invite Old Madam Gongsun, fearing that the old lady would be upset by this matter.
The leader was the village head of Linjia Village. After he arrived, he began to scold: "Sixth brother, why are you making such a fuss about dividing the family now? If you divide the family now, you won't be able to enjoy the good fortune in the future!"
Old Master Lin was the sixth child in his family and the nephew of the village head, who genuinely cared for him.
"If we don't separate the family, am I supposed to let my third son's wife ride roughshod over me forever?" Old Master Lin had no shame and said that he was threatened into separating the family.
"Sixth Brother, don't you know about the Mountain God Temple?" Lin Lizheng tried desperately to hint.
There are gods watching over us, and this god was watching them all along, so Lin Lizheng didn't dare to say too much.
At this point, Old Master Lin became even angrier.
"How could I not know? It's just a dilapidated temple. Who knows what kind of wandering ghosts live inside! Lin Anniang is trying to fool me with this, but I won't let her get away with it!"
Old Master Lin had seen that mountain god temple before; it was just a dilapidated little temple, and he had never paid it any mind.
However, Grandpa Lin did not notice that as soon as he finished speaking, all the elders around him subconsciously took a step back.
"Since that's the case, let's split up the family!" Lin Lizheng sighed. Anyway, he couldn't save him, so he could only let his younger brother fend for himself.
After calculating his younger brother's family's assets, Lin Li looked over again: "There are a total of thirty mu of dry land, thirty-five mu of mountain land, four houses in the village, and one house in the mountains. How do you plan to divide them?"
