When Liu Xiaoxi saw her furious father and unhappy mother, she knew her parents had misunderstood her and quickly explained, "Mom and Dad, it's not what you think. It's really not what you imagined."

So he told the old couple everything that had happened in the Gu family in the past few days.

When Huang Guihua heard that her daughter and son-in-law were finally going to separate, her expression suddenly brightened, and she happily asked Gu Zhan, "Son-in-law, are you really going to separate?"

"Yes, Mom, Xiaoxi has been wronged this year."

Huang Guihua was so happy for her daughter after hearing this. She was finally away from the Gu family's mental illness and her daughter was finally going to get through it.

So he waved his hand and said, "Look at what my son-in-law said. It's inevitable that someone will suffer when they get married. But fortunately, now that the family has been separated, you two can lock yourself up and live your own lives."

Huang Guihua was only concerned with her happiness. Liu Jinshui thought for a moment and asked Gu Zhan, "So you still want to live in the Gu family's courtyard?"

Gu Zhan smiled and shook his head: "We are just living together temporarily. We plan to build a new courtyard later."

"Well, that's more like it. Xiaoxi's brother and I will help you get some money together. Move out and have some peace and quiet."

When Liu Xiaoxi heard Gu Zhan say that he wanted to build another yard, he turned to look at Gu Zhan in surprise. He had never mentioned this before.

After Gu Zhan left, the old couple grabbed their daughter and asked her about their son-in-law's recent behavior from beginning to end, and did not let her go until Liu Xiaoxi blushed.

On the way back, Gu Zhan went to Zhao Baogen's house, explained his purpose to him, and asked Zhao Baogen to be a witness to the division of the family.

"Are you sure you want to separate now?"

"Uncle Zhao, I'm sure."

After repeated confirmation, Zhao Baogen knew that the young man in front of him had his own ideas. In those days, food was scarce, and most families did not split up. Instead, they concentrated their labor force to work and try to obtain more food.

Looking at the tall and straight young man with bright eyes, Zhao Baogen said in a deep voice, "Okay, I support you in dividing the family property. I will also be your witness, and I will do my best to help you get what is yours."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

"What are you thanking me for? Your father was very kind to me back then. It's only natural for me to help his child."

When we got back to Gu's house, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Normally at this time, Zhao Dani would have already gone into the house, but today she was so angry that she couldn't sleep.

She had thought that she would get back at the anger she suffered at noon this evening, but who knew that she couldn't even see Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi in the evening. How could she not be angry?

Now seeing Gu Zhan walk in alone, he was even more furious: "A bastard is a bastard, he only just came back now."

As soon as Zhao Dani finished speaking, Zhang Qiaomei came out of the house, grabbed Zhao Dani's arm, and led her into the house: "Old lady, it's getting late, you should go to bed."

They were all farmers with strong hands. Although Zhao Dani looked very fierce, she was old after all. Under the coercion of Zhang Qiaomei, she reluctantly went into the house.

"What are you doing? This..."

Zhang Dani was about to go crazy and curse Zhang Qiaomei, but she was frightened into silence by the look in her eyes: "Mom, I advise you to be more quiet and stop causing trouble."

After saying that, without even looking at Zhao Dani's face which was turning purple with anger, he turned around and left.

Zhao Dani was furious and pinched Gu Dali who was sleeping on the kang. Gu Dali did not respond, but turned over and continued to sleep.

Back in the house, Zhang Qiaomei said to Zhao Mancang, who was smoking a pipe, "From now on, just take care of your mother and don't let her cause any more trouble. If she acts unreasonable again next time, I'm afraid she'll have to bear it."

The more Zhang Qiaomei talked about Zhao Dani, the more she hated her.

When Gu Zhan was still young, she did not agree to keep him in the Gu family. She wanted to send him away, but the old lady disagreed and insisted on torturing him under her nose.

Who knew that the orphan child would be the most promising, and he finished high school without any family support.

Seeing her gradually becoming better and better than her own son Gu Jun, she suddenly had despicable thoughts...

Later, things gradually got out of control.

Fortunately, she had studied for a few years and had to marry Gu Mancang for the safety of her family.

Now that she sees things clearly, she doesn't want to be confused anymore.

Her husband is a selfish and cowardly man. Over the years, under the influence of this family atmosphere, her son's character has become exactly the same as that of this family. If this continues, her son's life will be ruined.

Hearing his wife's words, Gu Mancang said nonchalantly, "Whatever the old lady does is for you and me. Why should I bother? Just watch!"

Zhang Qiaomei felt powerless, but thinking of her son, she said patiently, "Okay, if you don't care, then I will. Just don't feel bad for your mother when the time comes."

Gu Mancang didn't care and continued to light his pipe and took a long puff.

Zhang Qiaomei was thinking about the things at home and the upcoming division of the family.

Because of the house issue, she had to compensate Gu Zhan with something. Although she felt the pain, considering Gu Zhan's current personality, it would probably be difficult to resolve the matter in the end if he was not satisfied.

Gu Zhan was very quick. After dinner the next night, he took Zhao Baogen into the Gu family's gate.

Gu Dali saw Zhao Baogen come in and forced a smile on his face: "Captain Zhao, I'll have to trouble you again."

"Uncle Gu, that's what I should do."

After the greetings, everyone sat down in the main room. Gu Dali listed the number of things in the house one by one, and then told them the distribution quantities.

His distribution seemed relatively reasonable on the surface, but upon closer inspection, one could still see the trick. Gu Zhan was not given any useful and practical things. It could be said that such a division was extremely unreasonable.

Gu Dali kept talking, but Zhao Baogen was furious. He had never seen such a biased old man. He wanted to stand up and ask Gu Dali whether this grandson Gu Zhan was his biological son.

He looked at Gu Zhan again and saw that he looked relaxed. He didn't care at all about what Gu Dali said, let alone whether it was fair or not.

But they didn't know that Gu Zhan had witnessed the prosperity decades later, and he also knew that there would be ways to make money everywhere from now on. What thoughts could he have about the impoverished Gu family?

After hearing what Gu Dali said, Gu Zhan agreed immediately: "Okay! I agree."

Gu Zhan's "OK" almost made Zhao Baogen's eyes go black.

As the captain, he couldn't give any direct hints, so he turned around and glanced at Gu Zhan covertly.

Gu Zhan gave Zhao Baogen a reassuring look. Zhao Baogen didn't know what to say anymore, so he could only curse Gu Dali, the old man, in his heart for being biased.

"Gu Zhan, are you sure?"

"I'm sure, Captain. That's it. Divide it as the old man said. But I have one request. After I divide it, whether the two families are good or bad will no longer matter to me."

Gu Zhan's words were exactly what Zhao Dani was thinking. Fearing that Gu Dali would refuse, she quickly agreed on his behalf: "Okay, that's what you said."

"Go ahead, Captain, and add this sentence as well."

Finally, three documents for the division of the property were written. Gu Zhan, Gu Dali and witness Zhao Baogen each put their fingerprints on them, and each of the three parties kept a copy.

The next day after work at noon, Liu Xiaoxi returned from her mother's home, bringing with her fifty yuan given by Liu Jinshui, saying that it was for the newly separated couple to buy things.

Gu Zhan did not reject the generosity of the two elders. He just remembered their kindness and would repay it later.
