Chapter 106: I'm Not Going!
Yu's family has always stood by Chu Lixins side, now that they see the three brothers' families all kneeling down, she also hurriedly pokes Chu Lixin's back from behind.
Chu Lixin usually appears a bit dull on ordinary days, but he also understands what his own daughter-in-law means.
He was still a bit hesitant, after all, he had no son under his knee, and no matter how the family property was divided, it wouldn't be up to him, an only child without a son of his own, to bring it up.
This made Yu Shi anxious, and it so happened that Yu Shi's other hand was holding He Hua's hand, while He Hua was leading Tao Hua's hand.
Yu bit her teeth and pulled Lotus down to kneel with her.
Lotus flower had long known that it was going to be a division of the family, and of course she also thought about dividing the house. However, as a young lady, if she took the initiative to propose a division of the house, she would certainly be accused of being unfilial, so she hesitated in her heart all along.
At this moment, since her own mother had taken the initiative to kneel down, she naturally wouldn't fall behind and followed Madam You in kneeling down.
Although Taohua was only three years old, when she saw her mother and sister kneel down, she also knelt down obediently, without anyone's hint.
Yu's and her two children's sudden kneeling movement startled Chu Lixian, who subconsciously wanted to help them up, but was stopped by Yu's gaze.
Thinking again of those days when his own family was suffering, his wife and daughter being abused, Chu Lixian's heart hardened, he bent his knees and also knelt down.
This is great, more than half of the people in this house are now kneeling on the ground, and with a loud whoosh, it looks quite spectacular.
"What are you doing?!" Chu Zhenghai didn't know if he was angry or scared, but his words were already incoherent.
Xu was completely frightened at this time, and even the tears on her face didn't have time to wipe away, just staring blankly at the people kneeling all over the ground.
"Father, I beg of you, let's divide the family property!" Chu Lishou had made up his mind to separate from the family and was resolute. He knelt down with both hands on the ground and knocked his forehead against the floor once again.
Led by Zhu Li, the Osmanthus and Lotus also followed closely behind, kowtowing. Under their influence, others also rushed to kowtow to Zhu Zhenghai, saying: "Father, please divide the family property!"
"Grandfather, please divide the family property!"
The children and grandchildren's voices asking for separation are rising one after another. Even the villagers who were watching the excitement at the gate also heard it in their ears.
That's a big deal in Hechu Village, but it's not that there haven't been any divisions of the family before. It's just that this way of dividing the family, as done by the old Chu family, is indeed the first case in the village.
The whole family is asking for separation, what a magnificent scene!
Unfortunately, they were all talking inside the house. Those villagers, no matter how good their intentions were, wouldn't rashly rush in to take a closer look, and could only imagine the scene for themselves outside the gate.
Chu Zhenghai looked at this matter and knew that there was no turning back, so he could only let out a deep sigh and say to Chu Lishi who was leaning against the door watching: "Second brother, go invite the village head and the elders over. Tell them our family is going to divide up the property and ask them to preside over it."
Since we are going to divide the house, it is natural that someone has to be a witness. Afterwards, the village chief will have to count the number of people in each household and report it to the county.
"Huh? Me go?" Chu Lishi was originally just a spectator, but he never thought that suddenly there would be something for him to do, and he was shocked into a daze. He immediately showed an impatient expression, "If you want to talk about dividing the house, it's not me, why do I have to be the errand boy? I'm not going!"
