Chapter 12 Agree to Separate the Family

in the room,

Zhou Lingling listened to what her second brother told her about the noise outside and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that asking my eldest brother to go to the old patriarch’s house yesterday was not in vain.

"Sister, are we really not going out?"

Zhou Yun leaned against the window, feeling quite itchy.

His grandparents, uncle, aunt and father were all outside fighting against the old witch and her family, but he could only hide in the room and could not do anything.

I'm so angry!

Zhou Lingling didn't need to explain, and her elder brother Zhou Chi put down the book in his hand that he had just borrowed from the village chief's house and the edges of which were frayed.

"My sister is seriously ill, so of course she can't go out, but we can go out and add fuel to the fire..."

There was an ambiguous glimmer in Zhou Chi's eyes.

My grandparents are all working hard to divide the family property, so they can't just sit there and do nothing.

When Zhou Yun heard what his elder brother said, his eyes lit up and he ran over and took his elder brother's hand.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go..."

Zhou Lingling didn't have time to say a word before she could only see the two people's backs disappearing at the speed of light, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Never mind, it’s almost the same anyway.

From the moment she entered the mountain, Zhou Lingling was making preparations.

First, she used Qiao Niang and the children in the village to let the clan leader and the whole village know that she was seriously injured while saving Zhou Qianqian, so that she could put their second branch on a moral high ground.

Last night, Zhou Lingling asked her eldest brother to go to the clan leader's house to show off his amazing talent.

This morning, she asked her mother to spread the news that she was seriously injured and about to die because she had no money to see a doctor, and then invited her grandparents to "make trouble".

The villagers are so enthusiastic, someone will definitely help them call the clan leader.

In this era, clans are indispensable at all times, but clans also cannot do without promising descendants.

I think if the patriarch has any intention, he will not ignore the affairs of the Zhou family.

It's just a division of the family, not a separation from the clan.

As long as the old patriarch is fair, the family will be divided today!

*

"Wow, wow, we don't want to become motherless children..."

"Grandfather, Grandmother, my father has sacrificed so much for the Zhou family over the years. Are you really so cruel as to separate him from his wife and children?"

Zhou Chi and Zhou Yun started performing as soon as they went out.

The two brothers knelt at the feet of Old Man and Old Lady Zhou, one crying loudly and the other with red eyes, but they couldn't help questioning the two old people.

It makes anyone who hears it cry and feel sad.

The old patriarch and the two elders frowned even tighter.

Especially the old patriarch.

He looked at Zhou Chi, who was kneeling but with his back straight, and thought of what his grandchildren had said to him last night, and sighed softly:

"Child, get up. Today, your two uncles and I will take charge of your father."

"Clan leader!"

Old Mrs. Zhou exclaimed, "My second son can't be separated!"

The rest of the Zhou family also hurriedly spoke up: "No, Patriarch, my parents are still alive, how can my second brother divide the family by himself!"

"Yes, Uncle is going to leave our parents behind to enjoy his life on his own. This is extremely unfilial!"

No matter what other members of the Zhou family said, the old patriarch had made up his mind.

"As parents, you two often act with bias. You even let your own granddaughter die without saving her. You would rather separate your son's family than let him split up. There is no such cruel person in my Zhou family."

"Now either you send the second son away, or take your entire Zhou family and leave Zhoujia Village!"

"Clan leader!"

This time it was Old Man Zhou's turn to exclaim.

Zhoujia Village is his root, how can he leave?

"Divide! Let's split up!"

Old Mrs. Zhou was about to speak, but Zhou Qianqian tugged at her sleeve.

The old lady reacted instantly and shut her mouth.

"Dad! How could you separate my second brother from me?"

Seeing this, Sun was extremely anxious: "Even if you are the clan leader, you can't force us to split up!"

This time, the old patriarch was so angry that he laughed.

"Okay, okay! Since I can't take care of your Zhou family's affairs, then you should move out of Zhoujia Village!"

Having said that, he stood up and prepared to leave with the two elders.

Uncle San patted Old Zhou's shoulder and said, "Zhong San, you are so confused!"

Uncle Six didn't say anything, but he also shook his head and sighed.

Old man Zhou was the third child in the previous generation, and this third uncle was his cousin.

Seeing this, Old Man Zhou no longer hesitated and immediately turned around and scolded his eldest daughter-in-law harshly: "Shut up! You have no right to speak here!"

"Uncle San, clan leader, we agree to split up the family."

The old patriarch and the third and sixth uncles looked at each other and sat down again.

The butcher Chen and his family finally felt relieved.

The task that my daughter asked them to do was finally completed!

It was a close call. My son-in-law almost lost his wife and children.

But at this time, Mrs. Zhou spoke up and expressed her own ideas:

"Although the old man and I have agreed to divide the family property, we are still alive. If the second son wants to split it, give him two taels of silver and the five acres of land at the foot of the West Mountain."

"Mom, do you want our whole family to starve?"

Chen just came out of the house. It was already noon and no one had eaten after all the noise. She was going to make some frangipani soup for her daughter to fill her stomach.

As a result, I heard that Old Man Zhou agreed to divide the family property. Before I could be happy, I heard that the old woman wanted to give the broken land at the foot of the West Mountain to her family.

"Those five acres of land at the foot of the mountain are all sand. What can you grow?"

Old Mrs. Zhou squinted her eyes and looked at her second daughter-in-law even more displeased.

If she hadn't brought her family to make trouble today, how could the clan leader have been alarmed!

"All the land in our family belongs to me and your father. You can take whatever I want from you. Even if I don't take anything, it's still what you deserve!"

Chen threw the bowl in her hand, and it instantly shattered into pieces on the ground.

"All the land in our family belongs to my parents?" Chen sneered.

"Mother, do you remember that my husband and I were clearing wasteland in the mountains during the hottest days of summer, and we lost a child because of it?"

"Dad, do you still remember how much of our land was cultivated by my husband over the years?"

"Brother and sister-in-law, do you remember how much of Zhou Zhi's tuition money was earned by my husband?"

Her questioning left everyone in the Zhou family speechless.

Chen continued, "We have fifteen acres of paddy fields, twelve acres of dry land, and five acres of sandy land. Even if the third wife and my parents divide it together, we should still have three acres of paddy fields and three acres of dry land. The extra is our filial piety to my parents."

"And silver. In the past few years, my husband has been working at the docks during the cold winter months, bringing back four or five taels of silver every year. Not counting the money before we got married, he's brought back at least sixty taels of silver in the past thirteen years, not counting the money he earned from selling the crops he farmed. Yet, mother only gives us two taels!"

What about the beggar?

When Chen said this, not only the old patriarch and others were surprised, but everyone else in the yard was also stunned.

I'm a darling!

No wonder the Zhou family has enough money to send their children to school!

These farmers don't have even one tael of silver left in a year, while others only have four or five taels.

Oh, this doesn’t include the money from selling grain.

Everyone in the village knows that the land of the Zhou family is cultivated by Old Man Zhou and Old Man Zhou II, and the eldest and third sons of the family are just there to make a living.

Old Man Zhou is old, so all the heavy work falls on Old Man Zhou.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they say the second child is stuck in the middle, not loved by his father or mother. This is too..."

Someone in the yard shook his head and said disdainfully, "No wonder they don't want to let Zhou Laoer split up the family property. They want to keep him at home and treat him like a slave!"

"There's a scholar in the first house, what can we learn from the way he eats..."
