My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Old Madam Li spoke first, "You, the Gu family, are a bunch of heartless people. You took Gu Shan's pension but let my daughter starve to death. You really deserve to die. I'm going to sue you in front of the government!"

"What rights do you have to sue us? That money was clearly given to us by Gu Shan's wife as a gift to us!" When Mrs. Gu heard that Mrs. Li was going to sue her family at the government, she became anxious and shouted at the top of her voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the neighbors who were watching the fun all rolled their eyes at Old Lady Gu.

However, the villagers believed it was true.

Because Li Xihua is well-known for her filial piety.

However, in Gu Lili's eyes, this is just foolish filial piety.

For the so-called filial piety, he starved himself to death and almost starved his four children to death.

Everyone else knows what kind of person her daughter is, so how could she, as a mother, not know it?

At this moment, Mrs. Li hated herself even more for teaching her daughter to be so kind and cowardly.

She bit her lip for a while before speaking, "Even if she gave it to you out of filial piety, you shouldn't force her to the edge!"

"Yeah, how could they take all the money?"

"They only gave me one acre of wasteland. How cruel!"

The neighbors around started to blame the second branch of the Gu family.

Seeing that no one stood on their side, and with Gu Lili's three uncles staring at them with gritted teeth, they all lowered their heads and dared not speak, for fear of being beaten.

Gu Lili walked forward with red eyes and said, "Uncle Lizheng, everyone is here today. I hope that you can make the decision and divide our family into two parts. Otherwise, the four of us will have no way to survive."

Gu Lili doesn't intend to swallow her anger like her mother did.

It just so happens that today, while my grandparents and the village head are all here, I must divide the family property again.

As soon as Gu Lili finished speaking, Second Aunt Gu became anxious and said in a shrill voice, "The family was divided a few months ago. Why do we need to divide it again?"

How can something that has been put into your mouth be spit out?

Besides, the money was reserved for his son's tuition and to buy study supplies, so how could he possibly hand it over?

"Okay, it's fine if we don't have to re-divide them. Then I'll take my brothers and sisters to the county magistrate to seek justice. However, if the incident gets out of hand, I don't know if Gu Shuwen can still stay in school."

Gu Lili sneered and looked at Second Aunt Gu.

She just didn't believe that since it was about Gu Shuwen, the second branch of the Gu family would still insist on not splitting up the family.

When Gu Shuwen was born, an old Taoist priest who had traveled all over the country told him his fortune and said that he would become a prime minister in the future.

As if to verify the old Taoist's words, Gu Shuwen could recite the Three Character Classic at the age of three, and the Hundred Family Surnames and Thousand Character Classic at the age of four.

The second branch of the Gu family tried their best to send their children to school.

When Second Aunt Gu heard Gu Lili mention her son, she immediately ignored the Li family members who were eyeing her covetously and cursed, "You little bitch, how dare you..."

But before Second Aunt Gu could finish her curse, a loud slap was delivered to her face.

Gu Lili said coldly, "If you keep nagging me, I'll beat you up, believe it or not!"

After saying that, Gu Lili put her trembling right hand back into her sleeve. She had just used all her strength and her hand was now sore!

However, this was considered light. Before the family split up, Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan were often beaten and scolded by Second Aunt Gu.

The original owner endured it in silence just like her mother, but Gu Lili couldn't.

She is the one who will take revenge for any slight!

"If you dare to hit me, I will tear your face apart!" Second Aunt Gu cried and rushed towards Gu Lili.

Seeing that Second Aunt Gu was about to pounce on Gu Lili, the head of the village said angrily, "Mrs. Shuwen, if you continue to make trouble, I will not care about it anymore. I will let the Li family confront you in court!"

Gu Lili's three uncles all walked up to Gu Lili tacitly and protected her, fearing that Second Aunt Gu would hurt Gu Lili.

This made Gu Lili feel warm in her heart.

Second Aunt Gu stopped abruptly. If she went to the county magistrate, it would really cause a big trouble.

But she doesn't want to give it back.

Ten taels of silver would take the second house of their family several years to save up, and their son needed money just as he was studying.

The four treasures of the study, the inferior ones weigh about one or two taels.

Aunt Gu was in a dilemma for a moment. After a long while, she could only say one sentence, "I can't let this cheap... girl beat me for nothing!"

"Tsk, haven't you beaten people enough? I've seen it many times in private." Aunt Zhang laughed.

Aunt Zhang had long been fed up with Second Aunt Gu, who relied on the fact that she gave birth to a well-educated son and acted arrogantly and looked down on others every day.

She even disdains doing such dirty things!

Seeing that Second Aunt Gu was about to argue with Aunt Zhang again, the head of the village shouted, "Alright! Stop arguing. Since Lili is proposing to split the family again, then as the head of the village, I will naturally make the decision for the siblings!"

The Li family looked at the fair head of the village and said nothing more.

Mrs. Gu said anxiously, "But..."

"But what do you mean by "but"? If you say another word, I'll find the county magistrate!" the head of the village said angrily.

Old Man Gu and Gu Chuan on the side hurriedly pulled Old Lady Gu, signaling him to stop saying anything.

The reason why they dared to take all the money for themselves was that they thought the eldest wife was a soft persimmon and easy to take advantage of.

Now, Gu Lili had just fainted from hunger and woke up, but she seemed like a changed person. Not only did she dare to insult and attack them, the firm look in her eyes also scared them.

Old Man Gu absolutely believed that Gu Lili could find the county magistrate, so at this moment he tacitly agreed to the redivision of the family.

Old Mrs. Gu and Second Aunt Gu were so anxious that they clenched their fists, but in the end they didn't dare to say anything more.

The village head saw that everyone was silent, stroked his goatee, and said to his eldest son with satisfaction, "Dazhu, go back and get the village's land and property registration book."

Gu Dazhu came quickly and handed the notebook in his hand to the village chief.

The village head took it in his hand and flipped through it for a while, and found the page about Gu Jingsheng's family.

Gu Jingsheng's family has a total of eight acres of fertile land and six acres of wasteland.

The fields in the village are distributed according to population.

Men over the age of sixteen can be allocated one acre of good farmland and one acre of wasteland.

After getting married, one acre of good land and one acre of wasteland can be allocated to the bride.

Therefore, women do not get any land. All the land is given to the men in the family, and women’s fields are divided up by their husband’s family.

Of course, if you have money, you can also ask the village to buy it. The two extra acres of land of the Gu family were bought by the Gu family, and they used the military pay that Gu Shan brought back.

The head of the village frowned as he looked at the book and said, "Brother Jingsheng, you are too cruel. The palms and backs of my hands are all made of flesh. How can you do this? It's too unfair!"
