I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingxi finished expressing what she wanted to say and prepared to go back to sleep.

In the main hall of the fifth house, Yang Laowu and his wife, Yang Minghu, Yang Mingyang, Yang Mingyu, and Yang Minghao were all thinking about what Yang Mingxi had just said. After listening to Yang Mingxi's words, they also wanted to split up the family so that they could take care of the people they wanted to take care of. Especially Yang Minghu, as the eldest son of the fifth house, he had a greater responsibility than the other brothers. Thinking of what his third brother had said about his eldest sister, he was the first to speak and called out to Yang Mingxi, saying, "Xi'er, wait a moment. Tell our parents what you found out about our eldest sister." After that, he turned to look at Yang Laowu and Wu and said, "Dad, Mom, I agree to split up the family so that we can be able to take care of our married sister. As it is now, we can hardly save a few dollars a year and can't do anything."

Whenever the fifth room discusses things now, it is always Yang Laowu and his wife, their four older sons, plus Yang Mingxi, Yang Mingze, and Yang Mingqian who are playing with their two younger brothers.

Yang Laowu and Wu suddenly stood up, looked at Yang Mingxi and Yang Minghu, then looked at the other three sons and said, "What happened to Yun'er? What did you find out about Yun'er?"

Yang Mingxi glanced at Yang Mingyu and said, "Eldest sister isn't living well at her husband's house. Her mother-in-law bullies her and her brother-in-law. They're going to split up the family when she goes back this time. Tomorrow, when the eldest and second brothers go to pick up the second sister, they should go to the eldest sister's house first to see what's going on. Then, they can give them the things that the eldest sister left here as a last resort."

Yang Laowu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he turned around to go out. But Yang Minghu stopped him and said, "Dad, don't worry. I will take care of it tomorrow. But our family doesn't have any extra money. I wonder what's going on with Qing'er now?"

"I have some money here. It's what Xi'er gave me last time, and what we saved up. It's almost three taels. Take it to see Yan'er first, and we can think of the rest later." Wu cried, then turned around and took Yang Laowu's hand and said, "Head of the family, let's divide the family. Hu'er is right. Only by dividing the family can we take care of Yan'er and Mo'er. Even if we have to eat less, we can't let them suffer in their husband's family."

Yang Laowu, being pulled by his son on one side and his wife on the other, gradually calmed down, swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, I'll go to the main house later. The reason why we didn't split up the family before was to take care of our family. Now I'll go and talk about splitting up the family." After saying that, he turned to look at Yang Mingxi and said, "Xi'er, don't go to the mountain tomorrow. I'll go talk to your grandparents. You, me, the eldest and second sons, and I will go to see Yan'er tomorrow. The third son will take them to the mountain to dig herbs tomorrow."

Yang Mingxi looked at Yang Laowu, whose eyes were red with anxiety, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to see Big Sister. Third and Fourth Brothers can also do well in the mountains. Don't worry, Dad. Go to Grandpa and Grandma and talk it over."

Yang Laowu nodded and was about to open the door to leave when Yang Mingxi thought for a moment and said, "Dad, tell grandpa and grandma that even if the family splits up, I will make sure that all my uncles and aunts live a good life, better than they do now."

Yang Laowu turned to look at Yang Mingxi, suddenly smiled, nodded heavily, and went upstairs.

Madam Wu looked at Yang Mingxi, hugged her daughter and said, "Xi'er, do you have any ideas to make everyone's life better than it is now? Don't worry about so many things, just do your best. Your father and I will take care of these things."

Yang Mingxi patted Wu's back and said, "It's okay, mother. My master and I have learned a lot in the past ten years outside. As long as we are not lazy, we can live a good life no matter what we do."

The three brothers also said that as long as they are not lazy, they will be able to live a good life.

Mrs. Wu looked at the children in front of her. Yes, with them around, as long as she wasn't lazy, how could she not get by? She smiled and said, "You guys go to bed first. We have to get up early tomorrow. Now it's our turn to manage the vegetable garden. Let's water it first, then do anything else."

Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms to rest. Yang Mingxi returned to her room and looked at the silver in her hand. She really wanted to cry. She only had a little over one tael of silver, and one tael was given by her uncle when Yang Mingmo got married. The silver left by her master was only a small amount left after buying cloth. Later, her third uncle gave her 10 wen for each piece of cloth, but she also gave her nephew 300 wen. Now she can't do anything with this little money. It's a headache.

Putting away the silver, Yang Mingxi took another look around the space. The soybeans were growing well, and she thought of the large patch of wasteland she had seen today. When should she go and see what kind of land was suitable for planting there? She looked at what she had now: wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. She thought they should all be able to be planted!

When I came here, I seemed to see wheat, rice, corn and potatoes, but no sweet potatoes! Sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potato chips, sweet potato flour, and what else can they be used for?

Yang Mingxi thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything else to do. Suddenly, she remembered the search function in the space and quickly searched it. The screen showed that she could make sweet potato noodles, but there was nothing else. Yang Mingxi sighed and thought, "Forget it, I'll take my time!" Then she left the space and fell asleep.

The next morning, Yang Mingxi was woken up by Yang Mingqian's knock on the door. Seeing that it was still gray outside, it must have been six o'clock at most. Yang Mingxi yawned and asked, "What's wrong, Qian'er? Why are you up so early?"

Yang Mingqian looked at Tiandao and said, "Third sister, it's getting late. Dad, Mom, and my brother have watered the vegetable garden and are going to my eldest sister's house now. We have packed everything and are waiting for you."

Yang Mingxi nodded helplessly, packed up quickly, and came to the main room of the fifth room.

Seeing Yang Mingxi, Yang Laowu smiled and said, "Xiao girl, your grandparents have agreed to divide the family. After your second sister returns this afternoon, let's go to the main house to discuss how to divide it. Everyone has been notified."

Yang Mingxi nodded. This was within her expectations. Old Man Yang and Old Lady Yang were very sensible. They also knew the benefits of splitting up now, especially after seeing the things they had caused. It was necessary to split up. When everyone was about the same, it was a good thing to stay together, but as long as there was one person who was very outstanding or very backward, they had to separate, otherwise conflicts would easily arise.

Yang Laowu and Yang Mingxi and her siblings left early. He carried a basket on his back, which contained the meat he had given Yang Mingyun the day before, as well as ten kilograms of rice and flour that Wu had bought from Aunt Guihua in the village early that morning. Yang Minghu carried a bundle containing the things Yang Mingyun had left at the fifth room. Yang Mingxi came empty-handed.

When they arrived at the yard, Yang Mingyang had already driven out the ox cart that Yang Mingxi had brought back. He put the things on the cart, got on, and drove the cart out of Changshan Village.

After about two sticks of incense, Yang Mingxi and the others arrived at Gu Laosan's house. They saw the door wide open, and there was a commotion inside, with villagers watching the excitement nearby. Yang Mingxi got off the ox cart, squeezed over, and asked, "Auntie, what's going on? Why is there such a commotion so early in the morning?"

A dark, thin woman looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Are you arguing about dividing the family? The village chief just divided the family yesterday, and now Mrs. Gu disagrees and wants Third Brother Gu to leave the house with nothing."

"What? Kicked out of the house, does this mean you're breaking off the relationship? Or was Old Third Gu picked up?" Yang Mingxi asked in shock, her mouth wide open.

"Who says it's not? This old lady Gu usually bullies Gu Laosan's family. We can't stand it anymore. We don't know what's going on. Gu Laosan couldn't stand it anymore and started making a fuss. He wants to divide the family. Yesterday, the village chief gave them three acres of land and 500 kilograms of grain. He asked them to move out and build a house by themselves. He also gave the old couple 100 copper coins as pension every year. But today, old lady Gu changed her mind. She doesn't want to give them land or grain. She wants them to leave the house and only give them 500 copper coins as pension every year. Gu Laosan disagreed, so he started making a fuss." said another lady.

"You don't know, Gu Laosan's family was supposed to move out yesterday, but it was Old Man Gu who told them to stay for one more night and pack up the house that the village chief lent to Gu Laosan, which is the house left by Mrs. Li, and move in. But Gu Laosan's family took the children to pack up, and when Gu Laosan came to get the land deed and move the grain, he was stopped by Old Mrs. Gu." Another old lady said with gestures.
