I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Gossip was flying everywhere in Bai Jun's family. Even Gu Wenxuan's family, who lived at the end of the village, heard about Wang's trouble at noon the next day.

The one who came to gossip with the Gu family was Gu Wenxuan’s second aunt, Gu Xing.

Although Gu Xing and Grandpa Gu are biological siblings from the same father and mother, she is ten years younger than Grandpa Gu.

Gu Wenxuan's father, Gu Yongming, is only eight years younger than his aunt.

Among all her relatives, she is closest to Gu Wenxuan's family.

At the beginning, the old Gu family was splitting up because of Gu Yongming's injury. She pleaded for Gu Yongming's family but to no avail, and was even severely scolded by her father behind closed doors.

Her elder brother and sister-in-law knew that she was on the side of Gu Yongming's family, so they pointed at her nose and scolded her a lot of ugly words.

Gu Xing had a strong character. The head of the village and the elders who were invited to witness their separation knew that her father's high-sounding words were just polite talk. However, they would only secretly despise the old man Gu for being hypocritical, but they would not be as outspoken as Gu Xing and directly expose the hypocritical old man.

She hoped that her father could think about the sacrifices the second branch had made for the family over the years, and that even if he wanted to divide the family, he would at least heal Gu Yongming's injury first. After being rejected by Old Man Gu, she asked Old Man Gu to favor her second brother more when dividing the family.

Old Man Gu agreed very well, but when the time came to divide the property, not only did he not favor the second wife, he even did his best to deduct what the second wife deserved.

They said that they were dividing the family property among their three sons, but in fact, the only thing they divided up was the second branch of the Gu family that had been abandoned by Old Man Gu.

Even the third brother Gu, who stood firmly on the side of Gu Wenxuan's grandparents and hated the indifference of the first wife of the Gu family, was suppressed by the old man Gu with family affection and filial piety, and was unable to separate from the family with the second wife as he wished.

With his biased mind, anyone who is not a fool can see it. But Old Man Gu himself does not feel guilty at all.

Although it was obvious that the second wife's family suffered a great loss in the distribution of property, they were still shameless and asked the second wife to give them two hundred coins in pension every year according to the village rules, and to send them extra gifts during festivals.

The villagers who witnessed the division of the Gu family were shocked by the old man Gu's shamelessness. Indeed, in most of the families in the village, the elderly asked for pension money at this price when the family divided up, but the problem was that the prerequisite for them to ask for money was that there was no scheming in the distribution of property.

Unlike old man Gu, he gave the worst land and only a little bit of food and household items as a token of his appreciation. As for the house, money, chickens, pigs... he gave them all under the banner of "retirement support" and did not give any to the second branch of the Gu family.

Everyone was secretly complaining. This old man had left so many things for his “retirement”, so how could he be so shameless as to ask the second family for money and things?

They were shocked at how much Old Man Gu wanted. However, his eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson all thought that he asked for too little. His eldest son directly said, "What can two hundred coins do? The second branch must send at least five hundred coins every year!"

His attitude was so arrogant that the villagers couldn't stand it anymore. They were just about to join together to spit at him and drown him, but Gu Xing, who had sneaked back, suddenly slapped her eldest brother in the face.

Gu Xing brought her husband back to support her second brother. Although old man Gu had promised her to favor the second branch when dividing the family property, when she thought of her father and eldest brother's attitude towards Gu Yongming, Gu Xing couldn't help but feel uneasy.

So, regardless of her father's words "not to come back and meddle on the day of the family division", she changed her mind and took her husband back to her parents' home.

But she came a little late after all. Old Man Gu had already talked about how to distribute all the family's property. She even only heard the tail end of the issue of the elderly's retirement.

Gu Xing was so angry. Five hundred Wen? Is this a number that can be uttered by a human?

She pointed at her eldest brother and started to curse him, saying that his conscience had been eaten by dogs and that he was a black-hearted bastard. Her eldest brother and his family were so angry that they even forgot about the matter of dividing the family property and all came towards her.

Her sister-in-law wanted to come over and hit her, but she pushed her down with a backhand push. Her eldest brother and nephew were easily stopped by her husband, one each.

Old man Gu was so angry that he scolded Gu Xing harshly in front of everyone.

Gu Xing was not convinced. She thought that Old Man Gu should scold her elder brother who had no brotherly love. But in front of everyone, she did not directly retort to her own father.

She wanted to save face for Old Man Gu, but the villagers who were watching the fun didn't have that mindset.

Everyone was talking about the timing of the division proposed by Old Man Gu (Gu Yongming had returned injured and needed a lot of money for treatment), the method of division (only the second son's family was divided out), the distribution of property (the land was given as the worst, and only a symbolic amount of food and household items were given, and the house, money, chickens, and pigs were not given to the second wife at all), and continued to talk about how he had deducted so much from the second wife, yet he still had the nerve to ask for pension money at the rate of 200 coins per year. They analyzed every detail of how bad Old Man Gu was.

After hearing the villagers' comments, Gu Xing could no longer control her anger.

It would be fine if her family was really poor, she wouldn't feel so unfair for her second brother's family as she does now.

But her family had a lot of money, and if the money was divided fairly, the second house could still make ends meet, but now...

Gu Xing was furious and stared at Old Man Gu, asking him to divide the property again. However, she was just a married woman, and her words had no weight in her natal family's division of the property.

Finally, under the collective persuasion of the witnesses, Old Man Gu reluctantly agreed to accept only 100 wen of pension from the second wife every year, and all the festival gifts were waived.

This result was the best that Gu Yongming could have achieved. They were heartbroken and moved out immediately after receiving the separation documents.

Gu Xing, who was also heartbroken, had a big quarrel with Old Man Gu and others, then turned around and went to help Gu Yongming's family with work.

Since then, except for the holidays when she would go back to give some gifts, she never visited her father and elder brother again.

This made Old Man Gu very angry.

He had two daughters. He married the elder one to a small businessman in the town so that she could help her family financially after marriage. He married the younger one to the Fang family, who had fled with them.

The Fang family was also an outsider who settled in Baijia Village. Their family was not well off, but they had many male members who were also very strong.

Old Man Gu married Gu Xing to the Fang family in the same village, hoping that she would be able to help her family with labor after marriage.
