The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Han Hongzhi left the Han family in a daze. Today's work went really smoothly.

Although I haven't seen the second grandson go to Han Qingshan's house yet, is there any need to ask? This division method is a big advantage for the Han family's eldest branch, and it is impossible for them to disagree.

Shortly after lunch, the village chief’s grandson Sanmao came to find Chen, and Chen followed Sanmao to the ancestral hall.

Ermao was a man who could not keep secrets. As soon as he left Han Qingshan's house, he told his friends about this strange thing.

So most people in the village knew that Chen, who had always been fierce and stingy and did not treat her stepson's family as human beings, was actually going to divide the family property among Han Qingshan's family who had been kicked out of the house, and she got a lot of it.

At this moment, there are many people watching the excitement outside the ancestral hall. Wow, this is more unusual than thunder in winter. This excitement must be seen.

In addition to the village chief, there are seven elders with the highest seniority in the village, as well as representatives from several prestigious families in the village.

Han Qingshan and his four sons were all there. They all looked unhappy and the atmosphere was a bit strange, as if they had had a dispute before.

Seeing Chen coming, Han Dongchen and the others didn't say anything. Han Qingshan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his eyes away and look at Han Hongzhi.

Seeing that everyone was present, Han Hongzhi went straight to the point and explained the reason why he had invited everyone here.

The fifth uncle, the most educated among the elders in the clan, read Lu Yanyan's dowry list and said that if the Han family wanted to divide the family property, they could not divide the items on the list.

The villagers were stunned when they heard this.

Thirty rolls of fine cotton cloth, twenty rolls of silk, twenty acres of land, two shops in the town, a mule cart, and one hundred taels of silver in the bottom of the box...

As for the white-glazed vase with gold-carved red plum blossoms, the works of great scholars of the previous dynasty, the calligraphy of the former Taifu, and the paintings of landscape masters, they did not understand them, but the former alone were enough to make them drool with envy.

The onlookers were amazed and thought it was no wonder that the second branch of the Han family was willing to give so much land to the eldest brother Han.

Lu Yanyan's dowry was too generous. Even if a woman's dowry had nothing to do with her husband's family, most women would still use all their dowries on their husband's family. As long as they did not divorce, Lu Yanyan's dowry would belong to Han Laoer's family.

Moreover, those two shops are in the best locations in town. They are gooses that lay golden eggs, so there is no need to worry about running out of money.

Of course, Han Qingyun is also promising. He has subsidies and tuition income from the academy. Maybe in a few years, Han Qingyun can even pass the imperial examination.

The discussions outside the ancestral hall became louder and louder. The men envied Han Qingyun for marrying a rich wife, and the women envied Lu Yanyan for having a good family.

Even the maids who usually didn't get along with Chen were envious of her for not only having a promising son, but also a daughter-in-law with a generous dowry...

Han Dongchen and his brothers looked uglier as they listened to the discussions.

Did the Second House family deliberately slap them in the face? Xi Gu just spoke hastily, and he didn't really want to share Lu Yanyan's dowry. Why humiliate them like this?

Chen's face was expressionless. "You can envy me, envy me, but you can only envy me for a few days. In a few days, all the fields and shops will be thrown away."

After the discussion subsided a little, Han Hongzhi then explained the content of the division of the family property, and asked both parties to put their fingerprints on the division document if they had no objections.

Han Qingshan tried hard to control his excitement. Seeing Chen take out the previous division document and hand it to the village chief, he quickly took out his own copy and handed it to the village chief. Then, together with Chen, he signed and stamped his fingerprints on the new document.

This time, Han Qingshan finally felt relieved, as his family no longer had to take the risk of going up the mountain.

Han Xigu's eyes flickered. "Grandpa Village Head, I wonder what to do with the original document? And should this new document be filed with the county government?"

Han Hongzhi took out two old documents that had been stored with him before and burned them together with the two he had just collected.

"Luckily, I've been busy these past few days and haven't had time to go to the county government office to file. I'll take this new copy to the county government office tomorrow."

After saying that, he took out two copies of the document he had just signed and handed them to Chen and Han Qingshan respectively.

The four Han Dongchen brothers looked at the burned old documents and then at the new documents in their father's hand, and their expressions improved slightly.

Han Qingshan didn't notice the quarrel between his sons at all. His face flushed with excitement and he kept bowing to the village chief and the elders.

Han Xigu couldn't stand his father's behavior anymore. He pulled Han Qingshan and walked in front of Han Hongzhi.

"Grandpa Village Head, you know my family's situation. We've only been able to survive these past few days thanks to the help of all the uncles and aunts. But now we're starving. I wonder when we can go and pick up the things on the family division document?"

Han Hongzhi was stunned. "Not having enough to eat?" Your family brought back so much food from the mountains yesterday. Everyone saw it.

On second thought, Han Hongzhi realized that this guy was probably afraid that Chen would default on his debt. Given Chen's usual behavior, it was normal for him not to be trusted.

Han Hongzhi was not sure when he could go get it, so he turned to Chen and asked, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"

When Chen first came here, she felt very guilty towards the first wife. She thought that her original body was unkind, and since she had taken over someone else's body, she should compensate the first wife's family on behalf of her original body.

But after what happened last night, Chen's guilt faded a lot.

These two days she recalled some things from the past.

For example, Han Dongchen, although it was only Chen who bullied the eldest wife, Han Dongchen hated his second uncle Han Qingyun even more.

For example, Han Xigu. It was obviously Han Huaijin who treated him best in the second house, but he often spoke coldly to Huaijin.

For example, Han Beiwang often cursed Han Huaijin, who was the best to them, behind his back, and slandered Han Huaixi for being domineering and intolerant.

It can be said that the bad reputation of the second branch of the Han family was partly caused by the original owner himself, and partly caused by the children of the first branch of the Han family who deliberately exaggerated and played the victim outside.

She originally thought that the other party, as the main characters of the original book - several of the "Ten Big Brothers", were all great and glorious images, but she never expected them to have such character.

The relationship between the two families was not harmonious. Although Chen could understand the family's little thoughts, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed psychologically.

Han Xigu had just bypassed her and asked the village chief about this topic directly. Chen didn't show it on her face, but in her heart, she felt even more contempt for this so-called future top scholar.

"Let's go now. It's a good opportunity for everyone to be a witness together."

Take the big yellow cow away quickly, she doesn't want to feed the cow while smelling the smell of cow dung anymore.

The people gathered outside the ancestral hall heard this and rushed to the Han family...

After his sons took away their share, Han Qingshan whispered to Chen, "As for your family's 40 acres of land, I will bring them here to harvest it for you after I finish harvesting mine."

"No need, I've asked Yanyan's brother to find help."

Han Qingshan wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head and said nothing more.

Chen thought about how the villagers had just started to make a fuss and asked Han Qingshan to use the thirty taels of silver he had just received to build a house. Even though she was a little dissatisfied with this family, she still tried to persuade them.

"Although the house you live in now is a bit run-down, it has enough rooms. You don't have to rush to build a new one. Harvest the crops from your fields first, and do it as soon as possible."

Han Qingshan didn't understand why Chen said this, but he could feel that Chen had no ill will towards him this time, so he nodded and left.

Chen looked at the half-empty house, sighed, and went back to her room to pack her things.
