We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

Houshui Village is a village with a variety of surnames. The ancestors of the village all came here to settle down after fleeing disasters and famine. The head of the village is surnamed Zhang, less than 50 years old. He is respected by the villagers because he is fair in his dealings.

Zhang Lizheng's house was only a few households away from Chen's house, and he came over soon.

"Chen An's leg is injured, why are you dividing the family now? Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back?"

Hearing Li Manying say that it was about dividing the family, Zhang Lizheng strongly disagreed. He knew what kind of people the Chen family was, but it was too heartless for them to do such a thing.

Zhao was talked about and couldn't refute anything, so she could only wink at Chen An.

Chen An pretended not to see and just said, "Uncle Lizheng, I want to divide the house. I don't want to hinder my family from living a good life."

Zhang Lizheng sighed, "You are a man of love, loyalty and filial piety. I'm afraid that your life will be difficult after the family is divided."

"Uncle Lizheng, mother and my elder brother gave me an extra share of the property. Mother also said that she would not let me worry about anything in the future. She even forgot to pay me filial tribute. We will be fine if we work harder."

The tribute money has been waived, which seems to be an attempt to stop any past relations.

Li Zheng Zhang didn't know what to say. He knew the situation of the Chen family. It might not be a bad thing for Chen An's family to separate.

"Chen Ping, you know to give an extra copy, which is kind of you."

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "We are brothers and a family after all. As an older brother, I naturally love my younger brother."

Zhang Lizheng glanced at Chen Ping without saying anything, then lowered his head to write the deed. The land on the hilltop had already been negotiated, and the remaining land would be easy to divide as well.

After dividing the fields and hills, other miscellaneous items became easy to divide, such as pots, pans, tables, chairs, and benches, as well as the existing food in the house.

Zhao was very careful with the food, and only took out 20 kilograms each of sweet potato flour, corn grits and coarse flour, as well as 50 kilograms of wheat bran. Cheng Yue had plenty of food in her space, so she naturally didn't care.

But when Zhang Lizheng wrote about livestock, Cheng Yue reminded him, "Uncle Lizheng, there are two old hens and a piglet. Mother said to give them to my husband to heal his wounds."

Zhang Lizheng didn't even raise his head. "It's natural. That's what a mother should do."

Zhao was so angry that her heart ached. Her old hen was kept for laying eggs, and she couldn't bear to kill it and eat it when her two grandchildren said they wanted to. How could the second grandson be worthy of eating this precious old hen?

But the head of the village has already said so, so she can’t say anything. Eat, eat, eat! Eat him to death!

Cheng Yue didn't care what Zhao looked like. The angrier they were, the happier she was.

Other miscellaneous items, Cheng Yue's family was given a kitchen knife, a sickle, two hoes,

There were also five coarse earthenware bowls, a small earthenware pot, a large wooden basin, a gourd ladle and two comb screens made of sorghum stalks.

Cheng Yue also took the wooden boards used to make the bed, but she didn't take the quilt. It was so hard and crusted that she thought it looked shabby.

There was another table and four benches, but Chen An shook his head and refused.

Seeing Chen An's calm and composed appearance, Cheng Yue always felt that something was wrong with him.

After all the things had been divided up, Zhang Lizheng also did not forget to write down what Zhao had said: that she did not want any tribute from the second wife and that she did not want to trouble the second wife to take care of her in her old age.

Chen An was illiterate, but Chen Ping and Cheng Yue were both literate. After seeing that there was no problem with the contract, they pressed their fingerprints.

Zhao gave Chen An the land and hills, including the title deed to the ancestral home, and ten taels of silver, and the division of the family was finalized.

But it was getting late, so they just had to wait until tomorrow to move out.

The next day, Cheng Yue got up as soon as the rooster crowed.

The main reason was that they didn't sleep well all night. The five members of their family were squeezed into a broken bed, which made a creaking sound when they moved. It was difficult to turn over. Their arms were stiff from sleeping on their side all night.

And there's a grown man lying next to me, it's hard to believe I can sleep well.

When Cheng Yue woke up, the three children and Chen An also woke up.

Thinking that they would move out today, the three children were extremely excited and immediately got up to pack their things.

In fact, there was nothing to pack. They only had two sets of clothes, which were worn by their uncle's family and did not need to be altered. They were patched up and the cloth was so tired from washing that it would be torn if pulled at random. But it was better than not wearing anything.

The children were actively collecting things, and Cheng Yue was not idle either.

Chen An was unable to help. He watched Cheng Yue coming in and out and said several times, "Thank you for your hard work."

Cheng Yue found it interesting that many men nowadays think that it is the duty of women to take care of children and do housework. How many men can understand the difficulties women face? Not to mention providing any emotional value.

Chen An seems to be able to deal with it now...

Cheng Yue smiled at him and continued to pack up, moving out early and starting to cook.

Chen An felt that Cheng Yue's temper had become better, but she always seemed inexplicably distant from him, but it didn't seem like she disliked him. What had changed?

Cheng Yue was cleaning up in the kitchen with a lot of ding-ding-bang noises, which gave Zhao and Chen Ping a splitting headache. They were already very angry about the separation of the family property yesterday and had not slept well.

Now I can’t even sleep anymore and can only get up angrily.

Li Manying stood at the door and yawned, watching the joke, "Sister-in-law, you are in such a hurry to pack up. People who don't know would think you are going to have a good life. I'm afraid you will cry."

She was the only one in the family who felt relieved. She was happy anyway that the family was divided.

My husband can earn money, so the loss can be made up in a few months. Dividing the family property means getting rid of a lifelong burden.

"Don't worry about whether we are doing well or not, sister-in-law. You can worry more about big brother and the two children when you have time."

"Brother, he is a handsome man with great abilities, you have to keep a close eye on him. If he gets seduced, my sister-in-law will cry!"

"Ah, and my two older nephews, you should discipline them as well. They are harming their uncle now, and who knows what will happen if they harm others in the future..."

Cheng Yue didn't suffer any loss in the words. Li Manying had bullied the original owner a lot. Now that she was about to leave, he kindly laid a trap for her to prevent her from living too dull a life.

Li Manying thought about how Chen Ping refused to be intimate with her last night, and immediately said angrily: "Don't stir up trouble. My husband treats me very well!"

Cheng Yue said "Oh" nonchalantly, "If someone wants to drive you crazy, then he will prove it himself."

Chen Ping's eyelids jumped, and he also came out, "Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law cares about you, and I also gave you more property, which is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous thing. Why are you still speaking evil words and cursing the children!"

Cheng Yue shook her head and said, "Brother, what you said is wrong. We all know why you gave me more land.

As for cursing the child, I don't deserve it. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder, why don't you know what's good for you!"

Chen Ping was too lazy to get entangled with Cheng Yue. Anyway, the family was divided, and some were disabled and some were weak. He just wanted to watch them suffer in poverty!

"Second brother's wife, don't be so arrogant. We have divided the family and each of us lives our own life. You have offended your eldest brother and his wife. You will have nothing to eat even if you beg at the door of your house!"

Zhao was determined to follow Chen Ping's family. Since they were already at loggerheads, she was too lazy to pretend.

Thinking of the two old hens and the little pig that were taken away, he felt so painful that he spoke viciously.

Cheng Yue laughed, "Then I hope mother-in-law will remember what I said today. When you get down and out, don't come to my doorstep to beg for food. I can't afford to lose face like that."

She was not making this up. In this family, the old one was unkind, the young one was brainless, and the two in the middle were selfish. Who knows what they will be like in the future.
