Chapter 3: Separation



Gu Mingze sat on a stool, glanced at his mother who was distributing food, and then looked at the simple meal on the table.

He lowered his head and thought about it, and decided to talk about it after dinner. He was afraid that if he finished talking now, his parents would not be able to eat.

After the meal, Old Man Gu looked at his son who opened and closed his mouth, took two puffs of his pipe, and said unhappily, "Just say what you want to say, there's no need to be so slow."

"I thought that Xiaoyan would come back tomorrow, so I would let her stay at her parents' house. When my army house is ready, I will let her go with the army." Gu Mingze heard his father asking him.

"Old Four, was it you or your wife who brought this up?" Upon hearing this, Lin Dacui threw the rag on the table and growled with her eyes wide open.

"Mom, I suggested it. If I leave, who will take care of her?" Gu Mingze looked at the angry old lady and said helplessly.

"You, you, you chose her because she was good-looking." Lin Dacui pointed at her son and looked up at the old man.

Then he added: "Go call your eldest brother and his family, and divide the family property today."

Lin Dacui looked at her son who was feeling guilty when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "It's not because of you. Your father and I have planned to separate when you get married. I have saved all the money you have sent back over the years."

"Mom, you can live with me after the family splits up. When the house is ready, you and Xiaoyan can go to the city together." Gu Mingze said as he looked at his increasingly elderly parents.

"No, we two won't follow each other. We'll change when we can't move anymore." Lin Dacui shook her head and urged: "Go quickly, don't waste time."

Gu Mingze walked out after hearing that, but he thought in his heart that he must let his parents go to the city in the future so that they can also enjoy a good life.

Lin Dacui went out to find the team leader and the accountant, and when she came back everyone was there.

"Brother, did these guys provoke you? If so, I will teach them a lesson for you. There is no need to separate the family, right?" Captain Gu Dalin said while glaring at the boys in the room.

"No, it's just that these kids have grown up, and my grandson is about to grow up too. If we don't divide the family, there won't be enough room at home." Old man Gu waved his hands and said

"Okay, if they make you angry, just tell them and I'll take care of them." Gu Dalin said.

He knew in his heart that other people's sons were more filial than each other, unlike those unfilial sons in his family.

When Gu Mingtao and his brothers heard that the family was going to be divided, they hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, why are we going to divide the family when everything is going well?"

"You all have your own families now. If you don't separate, where will Jiajun and his family live when they grow up?" Lin Dacui said to her four sons.

When Niu Lili heard this, she knew that her mother-in-law was determined to divide the family, so she reached out and pulled Gu Mingtao, asking him to listen to the two elders.

Gu Mingtao watched his mother take out the cash box, then nodded and stopped talking.

The brothers Gu Minghai and Gu Minghe saw that their eldest brother was silent, so they also remained silent. Although they did not want to split up the family, they still had to think about their own families.

Lin Dacui looked at her sons who were silent, took out the money and said, "Since the fourth son joined the army, he has sent money home every year. Apart from the money he used for his wedding and our daily expenses, we still have more than 800 yuan left."

The team leader and the accountant's eyes widened when they heard this. They didn't expect that Old Man Gu's family was so rich. You know, it was a lot for their family to have dozens of yuan left after a year's work points. It would take them many years to earn more than 800 yuan.

"Mom, you and Dad have left enough, and we can divide the rest." Gu Mingze frowned as he saw his mother take out all the money.

"Mom, you don't want to live with us?" Gu Mingtao asked in surprise when he heard what the fourth brother said.

"Your father and I can still switch places, why should we live with you? We can live comfortably on our own." Lin Dacui said with eyes wide open.

"Then you two should keep enough money, and we can divide the rest." Gu Minghai looked at the angry old lady and said hurriedly

"No, we just want these small changes. The rest is 200 each for you, and the house is yours to live in.

The rest of the things are yours to use. Your father and I will keep 200 kilograms of grain, and the rest you can divide among yourselves. " After saying this, Lin Dacui handed over the money and sat on the stool without saying anything.

"Brother, we haven't talked about pension money yet." Gu Linhai looked at the silent people and reminded them.

"Ten yuan per person per year, fifty kilograms of grain, and the rest depends on your willingness." Old man Gu looked up at his sons and said slowly.

"Okay." Gu Mingtao and his two brothers all agreed. After all, they had all received so much money. If they disagreed, they would not be human.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaoyan and I don't have any food, so I'll give you ten more dollars. Twenty dollars a year, okay?" Gu Mingze looked at the two elders and discussed.

"Don't you need to discuss this with your wife?" Lin Dacui asked hesitantly.

"Then I'll go back and be right back." Gu Mingze heard his mother say this and hurried back to the house.

When Lin Dacui saw her old son seriously going back to discuss the matter, her face darkened. This son is really a henpecked man.
