Gu Huazi scratched his head, "Yes, your dad heard that you were bullied, and he is looking for someone to settle the score. But it's better to separate the family! The future life will be better." After that, without waiting for An An to ask any more questions, he hurried out of the house.
Gu An An jumped out of bed, took a piece of pastry for Dong Dong, and put on slippers, "Dong Dong, let's go home quickly, Dad is back."
"Ban Xia, the remaining pastry is all for you!"
Ban Xia was humming while eating, and after hearing An An's instructions, she raised her head, "I'll leave two pieces for Dong Dong, you guys go back quickly, remember to come over for lunch!" From her father's tone, there will be delicious dishes for lunch.
Gu An An's mind was not on eating at the moment, she dragged her little brother and ran home like a gust of wind.
By the time she arrived, the family had already been divided.
In the main hall, the elder of the Gu family sat at the first seat, and Gu Weiqiang called him "uncle".
Further down were Old Man Gu and Zhou Aiju.
The four sons of the Gu family sat on both sides. By the way, because the division of the family was a big deal, Gu Weiqiang specially called back Gu Weimin who was in the county town.
Although the third son Gu Weimin became the son-in-law of the old Li family, he was still a member of the Gu family after all, and he had a share in the division of the family.
This was the first time that Gu Anan saw his third uncle. Unlike his father who was tall and mighty, his third uncle looked a bit like a scholar.
He was clean and white. If she said he was a teacher and not a carpenter, she would believe him. To be more specific, Mr. Gu looked exactly like his uncle.
Gu Anan held her brother's hand and rushed back from outside.
The first time she saw Gu Wei Qiang, she rushed up to him like a little Yan Lin and called out softly, "Dad." After she called out, tears fell down. Gu Wei Qiang no longer had the fierce look she had before, and his whole expression softened immediately, "You're already a grown girl, and you're still crying like a child."
"Why didn't you have dinner at your uncle Huazi's house?"
"I'm waiting for Dad. Our family will have dinner together."
"Yes, Dongdong misses Dad too."
Gu Wei Qiang coaxed his two kids, then turned around and looked at the first elder, "Seventh Uncle, let's do as you said before. There will be one room for each of our four brothers in this house." What he deserved was not something he was willing to give up even a penny. He finally realized that he treated others as a brother, but others treated him as an outsider.
Uncle Seven took a puff of his pipe, knocked the pipe bag on the table a few times, and nodded, "Gensheng, do you have anything to say? Which child do you two want to follow?"
Gu Gensheng is the old man. He is so exhausted at this moment. He finally understands that a son is no longer under the control of his father. Among the four sons in the family, only the second son is on the same side with him. He opened his mouth and said, "I will live with the second son."
Gu Weifu's face finally looked better. If the old man follows him, it means that the things that the brothers give to the old man will still be his. Not only that, the old man is still young and can still work for a few more years.
Zhou Aiju finally understood that the children are now alienated. Whoever follows will feel uncomfortable.
She simply waved her hands, "When you divide the house, leave one for me. I won't follow anyone and live alone. From now on! Each child will give us five yuan a month. There are four sons, so the total is twenty yuan. The old man and I will each give ten yuan. We will live our own lives. Old man, if you want to follow the second son, then follow the second son. It's up to you." Her heart was cold at this moment.
When Mr. Gu heard this, his neck stiffened, "You old woman, what are you talking about? If you don't want to follow the second son, what else do you want?"
"With the second son? With the meanness of his wife, who does things that are beyond her control, do you think she will serve you tea and water? Support you? That's wishful thinking." Zhou Aiju understood clearly, "I can still move now, I can support myself. If one day I can't move, fourth son, I want to ask you, are you willing to support a useless old woman like me?"
Gu Wei forced a smile, "Mom, you can follow me now, An An and Dong Dong are gone. "Mom, just ask grandma to watch over you more."
Gu An'an and Gu Dongdong also hugged Zhou Aiju's thighs and said in unison, "Grandma, we will support you."
Zhou Aiju felt relieved when she heard this, but she still waved her hands, "If I follow your fourth child, someone might think that I am subsidizing the fourth child's family and think it is unfair. I am fine alone. You can come and see me more often when you are free."
Who did she mean by this person with ulterior motives? Of course, it was Wang Daying.
Wang Daying stood aside, saying nothing, and let everyone watch.
Gu Weimin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "Since Mom wants to live alone, I'll voluntarily give up my share of the house and let her live in it." Li Yue'e behind him pinched his waist. Gu Weimin turned around and glared at her. After all, she was the head of the family. Li Yue'e didn't say anything, but just hugged her little son in her arms.
The elder said, "Don't you regret it?"
Gu Weimin shook his head. "I was originally a live-in son-in-law, and this share is what my mother deserves."
The elder stood up. "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's do it this way! For Gu Gensheng's branch, the house will be divided into four parts. The third brother Gu Weimin will give up voluntarily, and Zhou Aiju, Gu Weiguo, Gu Weifu, and Gu Weiqiang will each have a room. As for the elderly, Gu Gensheng will live with the second brother, and Zhou Aiju will live alone. In the future, Zhou Aiju's support will be the responsibility of the fourth brother Gu Weiqiang. As children, each brother must give five yuan to their parents every month."
"How do you think you're going to divide the five mu of land on the back hill of the Gu family?"
Gu Weiqiang and Gu Weimin shook their heads at the same time, "We don't need it, give it to the eldest brother." The eldest brother naturally refers to Gu Weiguo.
The two younger brothers have expressed their opinions. Gu Weifu naturally cannot compete with the eldest brother for this piece of land. Even if he gets it, with their family, Wang Daying is lazy and lazy, and the three sons below are not good at farming. As for himself, if he can't be a good team leader, why would he farm?
He also expressed his opinion, "Give it to the eldest brother."
Gu Weiguo thanked his brothers gratefully. If they lost the land after the division, how could he support his wife and children? Unlike his three brothers, Gu Weiguo has been digging for food in the fields since he was a child and has been an old farmer all his life.
The elder nodded and continued, "How much savings do you have at home? Take it out and divide it up."
Zhou Aiju was in charge of the family savings. She ran to the inner room and took out a cloth bag. There were more than 200 yuan scattered around, and she poured it all out on the table.
It was Grandpa Gu who spoke first, "Why is it so little?"
Zhou Aiju sneered, took out a small notebook from the cloth bag and began to read, "I'll start from the past three years. The new house we bought two years ago cost a total of 1,300 yuan. Gu Shu went to the city to study. He spent 400 yuan in junior high school for three years. Last year in high school cost 280 yuan a year. He repeated a grade for half a year, which cost 120 yuan. The tuition for remedial classes was 100 yuan. The second son's wife's brother got married and he took 20 yuan as a gift. The second son's wife's mother was sick and he took 63 yuan in total. The second son invited his superiors to dinner, which cost about 10 yuan per meal, a total of eight meals. The total amount of gifts given during festivals and holidays was close to 300 yuan. Gu Dan went to I went to the county to learn carpentry in 2000. My living expenses were five yuan a month. Gu Shuang fell ill at the beginning of this year and went to the county hospital. It cost 130 yuan in total. Our family spends about 50 cents to 1 yuan a day on food, which is more than 20 yuan a month, not counting the food grown from the fields. "
Zhou Aiju did it on purpose. She only reported the expenses of the second house, just to make Wang Daying of the second house feel uncomfortable. If it weren't for her instigation, how could such a good family fall apart? Every time he reported an item, Gu Weifu's face turned red. If you are not the head of the family, you don't know how to be obsessed with money. He didn't even know that the second house alone spent so much money.
Fortunately, this family is all our own people, and only the elders are outsiders.
Otherwise, if outsiders heard this, they would be really scared by the expenses of the Gu family. This is just the second house, not to mention the other three houses.
Old Master Gu waved his hands repeatedly, "Okay, stop reporting it. It's embarrassing."
To be honest, Zhou Aiju and Gu Gensheng have been married for decades and they can be considered to be respectful to each other. Gu Gensheng is the village chief and Zhou Aiju is also a cultured person, so they can still respect each other. In the past, they could still save face, but now they are at loggerheads. Zhou Aiju threw the account book in Gu Gensheng's face and said, "And you, old man, you keep complaining every day. Tobacco money, drinking money, and money to support the second brother's family, just you alone, it would cost 200 yuan a year."
She simply said it clearly, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Do you think it's easy to support this family? Just for food money, our family spends at least 15 yuan a month, not to mention social interactions, and there are several children, which one is not educated? Which one doesn't need money?"
"Wang Daying, I'm telling you, since you broke up this family, I'm making this clear. Anything in the second house has nothing to do with me, Zhou Aiju, in the future. Since you are so capable, you have to pay for the eldest son's living expenses for repeating a grade in the county, tuition fees, the second son's living expenses as an apprentice in the county, and the third son's tuition. Don't try to take advantage of me, or the third and fourth sons. They don't owe you anything." Zhou Aiju was holding back her breath, feeling uncomfortable. She just went out for a while, and when she came back, she caused such a big problem. A good family was broken up just like that.
Everyone thought she loved the fourth son the most, but what was the reality?
Even if she were still here, she would tie the fourth child to the entire Gu family and let him help support the second child, thinking that the second child's family has many children and each of them would cost a lot of money.
Now, she is pulling forward like an old cow, but she can't stand the people dragging her back!
Wang Daying was scolded so hard that she couldn't say a word. Now, she realized that it was over, completely over. Where would she get so much money to support three children.
Gu Anan and Gu Dongdong looked at each other and saw admiration in each other's eyes. Only today did she know that grandma's fighting ability was so strong.
Zhou Aiju finished scolding.
The whole house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Wang Daying said, "Mom! I won't divide the family, I won't divide it, I'll make up for my fourth brother."
"Too late."
The thumbprints on the family division document had been pressed, and no one paid attention to Wang Daying's rant.
