My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Xu Yingying knew that her parents were good to her.

She used to feel that this kindness carried a bit of a sense of indebtedness.

She realized today that her father was genuinely good to her, which reminded her of her own father, Xu Bapi.

I feel extremely sad.

The matter of dividing the family property was discussed for several days.

During this time, Lin Cuiniang used the excuse of going to her "parents' home" to borrow some grain, and then she took out the coarse grains they had brought back and ate them openly.

During the day, Xu Dazhu and Lin Cuiniang argued with the Xu family about dividing the family property, while Xu Yingying took Xu Chunsheng out to find wild vegetables and cook.

The Xu family said that during the famine, Xu Dazhu neglected his elderly mother and refused to give her a share of the house.

But a house is the most important thing for a family, and Xu Dazhu must have one.

This matter has been dragging on for days without being resolved.

If the family can't be divided up in a short time, that's fine, but Xu Dazhu's family had their grain stolen when they weren't paying attention, so they really couldn't stay there any longer.

When Yang Fenglan arrived, Xu Yingying was arguing with Old Lady Xu about the housing allocation.

She brought up stories about "Old Mrs. Xu being harsh on her son."

Old Mrs. Xu was embarrassed and wanted to agree to give the west room to the eldest son's family, but Xu Sanzhu and Xu Erzhu disagreed. Their point of view was that the eldest son's family had not fulfilled their filial duties to their elderly mother during the famine years, which was enough to warrant being expelled from the family.

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the woman is reasonable.

For the time being, the village chief was unsure which side to favor, so he could only "sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight," letting the Xu family argue among themselves.

He'll take charge once the argument reaches a conclusion.

Yang Fenglan had no idea what the Xu family was arguing about, but judging from her best friend's expression, she guessed it was something very serious.

Then he started whistling the tune of "Little Duck".

Fifteen minutes later, in the grove.

After learning the whole story from Xu Yingying, Yang Fenglan waved her hand and said, "What's the big deal? My house is empty, isn't it? Let your parents move to my house and stay away from those tuberculosis devils in the Xu family."

“Oh right, how did I come up with that idea?” Xu Yingying slapped her forehead. “My brain must have been infected by your silliness. Let’s pretend to be kicked out of the Xu family first, completely sever ties with them, and then rent a house from you. It’s killing two birds with one stone, isn’t it?”

“Yes, let’s do it.” Yang Fenglan was very supportive.

Xu Yingying immediately went home and told her parents about living in Yang Fenglan's house. Her father argued with the Xu family for a long time before finally giving in.

"Fine! We can move out, and we don't have to share the pots, pans, and dishes. But from now on, whether I die of illness or starvation, it's none of your business!"

Old Master Xu couldn't wait for this family of pests to leave so that his sons could have a place to live, and immediately agreed on behalf of Old Master Xu.

The village chief didn't say much. Following the rules, he wrote the letter severing ties. The Xu family didn't linger and left the Xu family home with their clothes and bedding.

This matter became common knowledge in Qingshui Village.

There were quite a few onlookers.

Yang Fenglan pretended to come back from outside, chatted with Xu Dazhu's family for a few words, and then said that she would rent the house to them.

This was said in front of the villagers.

The group went down to the foot of the mountain behind them.

Yang Fenglan saw people walking back and forth in her yard from afar.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wang Guihua, who was hanging clothes out to dry in the yard.

"Wang Guihua, what are you doing?"

Wang Guihua shuddered suddenly. When she saw Yang Fenglan return, her expression was a mix of surprise and shock.

"Have you lost your lineage?" Yang Fenglan asked without hesitation.

Wang Guihua's face turned very pale. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"We had an agreement, so why are you coming into my yard?" Yang Fenglan stared at Wang Guihua.
