After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

When Old Lady Zhang heard her third son mention it, she glared at him fiercely. Seeing everyone's reaction, she stormed into the house.

The second and third sons' wives, along with their children, hid tightly in their room, afraid to make a sound.

From the moment Old Lady Zhang started hitting Ruan Mumu with a stick, they were all afraid that Old Lady Zhang would take her anger out on them and their children, so they didn't dare to move and just stayed inside the house.

When Old Lady Zhang entered the house and saw that her two daughters-in-law had closed their doors tightly, she kicked each door in anger to vent her frustration.

He was still cursing: "Are you all dead? Can't you see that this old woman is being bullied? All you know how to do is hide in the house."

The two daughters-in-law hiding inside the house dared not utter a sound.

They all thought to themselves: With your tantrums and shamelessness, you're the one who bullies others, not the other way around.

Those outside could also hear the cursing coming from inside, and found it truly terrifying.

The men were all thinking how lucky they were that they didn't have such an ancestor in their families, otherwise their lives would be in complete chaos every day.

The young women were glad they hadn't married into such families, otherwise they would have been tormented to death by such mothers-in-law many times over.

And the children, seeing such an old woman, all felt trembling with fear.

Chen Donghua knelt before the village chief and clan chief, wiping away her tears, and said, "Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Clan Chief, you've both seen it. If we don't separate our families, will we even be able to survive?"

The village chief and clan leader were also helpless in the face of this old woman.

But since the problem is already there, if they don't separate the family, after what happened today, the old woman will definitely not let them off the hook. What happened today was just a prelude to what was to come.

The village chief slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and shouted, "Fine, the family must split up."

Upon hearing the village chief's words, Chen Donghua immediately kowtowed to the village chief and the clan chief.

Soon, Old Lady Zhang came out dressed and carrying a stool.

He walked up to the village chief and clan chief, slammed the stool into the ground, and plopped down on it.

The village chief and clan chief, seeing her like this, didn't bother to argue.

They usually don't bother with the affairs of Old Lady Ruan Zhang's family unless they cause a big commotion. They only came today because they heard that someone had died.

The village chief didn't bother beating around the bush any longer and said directly, "Ruan Zhangshi, after today's incident, your eldest daughter-in-law Chenshi requests to separate from your family."

Given that you almost caused a death today, as the village head, I must uphold justice.

Now you have two options.

First, they agree to separate the family, allowing your eldest daughter-in-law's family to live separately.

Since your eldest son is no longer here, the pension for your eldest son was ten taels.

Keep half and give the other half to the Chen family as their household expenses after the division of the family. From now on, you will live your own lives and have nothing to do with each other.

No one may cause trouble for the mother and child under any pretext or excuse;

Secondly, if you do not agree to separate the family, we will send you back to your parents' home and you will never be allowed to enter our Jinwan Village again.

Now you can choose one!

When Zhang's wife heard this, she was about to throw a tantrum and sit down to make a scene again, but Chief Ruan added, "If you continue to cause trouble, just send you back to your parents' home."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhang dared not cause any more trouble.

After all, she's quite old, and being sent back to her parents' home when her own parents had already passed away is hardly something her brothers would do.

If she were sent back to her parents' home, she would only face death. But to divide the family property and get a share of the money? No way.

Then Old Mrs. Zhang spoke up and said, "I agree to divide the family property, but the eldest son's pension has long been spent on raising his children over the years."

Where could they possibly come up with so much silver?

Separating the family is fine, just let them leave empty-handed.

Everything in the house was bought with the money earned by the second and third sons; they're not taking a single item with them.

Upon hearing the old woman's shameless words, the village chief slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and roared, "If you don't have money, sell your fields and land!"

In addition, your family currently owns six mu of paddy fields and ten mu of land, and you must allocate two mu of paddy fields and three mu of land to the Chen family.

When the family moves out, each person has to take at least one set of bowls and chopsticks from the house, and they also have to take fifty kilograms of rice. They also have to take their own clothes and bedding with them. That's how it's decided.

Chief Nguyen divided the land into three parts and then had the Chen family draw lots to determine the division.

While it's still early, we'll go to the town today to find the village head to transfer the property to the eldest son of Dongping's family and register them as independent households.

Write another letter severing ties, have Ruan Zhangshi sign it, and send it to the town for filing, to prevent Ruan Zhangshi from causing trouble for Chen and the others in the future.

The village chief didn't want to give Old Lady Zhang another chance to argue; he had already witnessed her shameless behavior.

Chief Ruan said to Ruan Dongchang, "Dongchang, now tell me how you want to divide your family's fields into three parts."

"After Chen has drawn lots, we should hurry to town to transfer the property today; there's still time."

Then he turned to Chen, who was kneeling, and said, "Xiaojun's mother, get up. You don't have any objections to dividing the family property like this today, do you?"

Chen's only request was to divide the family property, however it was acceptable, as long as she stayed away from her wicked mother-in-law. So she nodded in agreement.

When Chen Donglan, who was standing to the side, heard that her cousin could distinguish the two, she was happy for her. She went forward to help her cousin up and said happily, "Big sister, everything will be alright."

Chen Donghua nodded happily.

Clan Chief Ruan then said to Chen Donghua, "Xiaojun's mother, there are still two empty rooms in the Ruan family ancestral hall."

If you really have nowhere else to go, then stay there temporarily, but you can only stay for a maximum of one year.

A year from now, you'll have to figure it out yourselves.

Chen Donghua had just been worrying about what would happen to her family of four after the family division. Hearing the clan chief say this, she immediately felt more at ease.

Soon, under the supervision of the village chief and clan head, Old Lady Zhang had no choice but to obediently cooperate in dividing the family property, and Doctor Liu also successfully received his consultation fee.

With the help of others, Chen Donghua's family moved into the empty room in the ancestral hall.

Accompanied by the clan chief, Ruan Xiaojun went to town with his second uncle and grandmother to complete the land deeds and obtain independent household registration.
