Chapter 117: Xu's Family Makes Another Request

  Xu was a person who didn't like to suffer losses, and he also cared about his reputation. At this moment, being ridiculed by the villagers, he naturally couldn't swallow this tone. Just as he wanted to say something, he was suddenly shut up by Chu Zhenghai.

  "That's enough! An old woman like you, making a racket in my house! Behave yourself! Let me speak and I'll speak again!" Chu Zhenghai's tone was harsh enough to stun Xu Shi into silence on the spot, and even Lu Shi, who had been about to continue her arrogance, was also stunned into silence.

  Osmanthus glanced at her own grandfather, lightly pursed her lips, and finally stood silently in place, not making another sound.

  Chu Zhenghai's words were quite straightforward, although they sounded like they were only said to Xu Shi alone, but in fact, they encompassed all the women present.

  Osmanthus flowers knew she was still a child, but even women had lost the right to speak, so could this little child, or rather, dare to open her mouth again?

  Fortunately, she had already made her point clear just now. As for the rest of the matter, Gui Hua also knew that she was not suitable to speak again and could only place her hopes on Chu Li Shou.

  "Alright, the land will be divided as I just said. If anyone doesn't want their share, then don't take it. But if you come back later and haven't received any grain to eat, don't come crying to me or your mother." After Chu Zhenghai finished speaking to his son and daughter-in-law, he turned to look at Guan Dashan, his tone becoming much more polite, "Village head, respected elders, what do you think of this division?"

  Guan Dashan also looked at the several elders present, and no one expressed any objection. Only then did Guan Dashan write down on paper the method for dividing up the land.

  Watching Guan Dashan's brush finally fall on the paper, Gui Hua clearly felt Mo Shi's body suddenly relax, and a faint sigh that was almost inaudible entered her ears.

  It seems that dividing the fields in this way should be quite good for your mother.

  The land has been divided, and what's left are naturally the silver and money items in the house. From large cabinets and dressing tables to small pots and pans, everything must be carefully divided.

  Following the rhythm of dividing up the family property, everyone also saw that Chu Zheng Hai was a good face-saving person and would not make his sons look bad in front of so many people.

  Before Chu Zhenghai could even open his mouth to divide the items, Xu Shi, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but cry out again, "No way! Village Chief, you just promised me that if we were going to divide the family property, we had to thoroughly inspect their house first!"

  "Huh?"

  Those who were watching the excitement in the courtyard, as well as the several elders inside the yard, couldn't help but stare at Madam Xue with wide eyes.

  Guan Dashan's face didn't look good either. He had originally agreed to one of Xu Shi's conditions, but he hadn't said it was this matter! Now that Xu Shi had just opened her mouth and implicated herself, wasn't this making it impossible for him to save face?

  Chu Zhenghai's face didn't look good either, but he also understood that his wife had made concessions during the division of land just now. If he wanted her to make concessions again at this time, it would be difficult to reverse today's situation.

  There was no way out, so Chu Zhenghai could only pretend to be a mute and act as if he knew nothing.

  "Mother, we, even if we bring back some things on ordinary days, are handed over to your hands for public use. Now you still want to go and search our house again, this...this is clearly going to make us unable to hold up our heads in the village from now on!" Madam Mo said with a trembling voice, her eyes welling up with tears.
