When he saw Old Master Gu come out, Gu Weifu let out a sigh of relief. He didnt want to divide the family property or return any money; everyone living together was better for supporting the family, especially with Fourth Brother around.

  The old man was most heartbroken for himself and also looked forward to his eldest grandson, Gu Shu, taking the imperial examinations and bringing honor to their ancestors, so he naturally would not agree to divide the family.

  The hard shoe hit Gu Weiqiangs forehead, and his heart also cooled down by half.

  He silently picked up his shoes, his eyes slightly red. "Dad, for the sake of your second brothers family, youre so biased? Dont you care about our lives anymore? Arent Anan and Dongdong your grandchildren?"

  The old man who was said to be sore, changed his face, but quickly turned natural, "Lao Si, this family I am most partial to whom, you still dont know, otherwise you can read junior high school graduation, go to the transportation team to work?"

  "I only know that in this family, youre most biased towards second brother. My two brothers and I have all been working hard for the sake of second brother. As for what you said about graduating from junior high school, the money I used to study was earned by me and Uncle Hai Shan going into the mountains to hunt and gather herbs. The job at the transportation team was also something I worked hard to get into with my own efforts. Have you ever helped me in any way?"

  The old man and the young man were both so choked with rage that they could hardly breathe, and seemed on the point of fainting.

  Gu Weiqiang said to Hua Zi who was watching from the side, "Hua Zi, look at Lao Yezi, dont let him faint."

  "Today, this family, whether divided or not, if you pass out and cant get more benefits for Second Brother, dont blame us."

  The originally dizzy Mr. Gu suddenly became spirited and vigorous when he heard Gu Wei Qiang say this, "No way! If we really are going to divide the family property, Ill take charge, cant let the second son be taken advantage of."

  In the heart of Old Man Gu, Second Brother Gu was his most cherished son and also the one who resembled him the most. This was evident from how he had personally supported Second Brother to become the leader of the production team in Gus Village.

  Gu Weifu knew that the family was divided today, his heart was bleeding, and he kicked Wang Da Yings chest with one foot. "You stinky woman, if it werent for you, would my brothers turn against each other? Dont you hurry to apologize to Fourth Brother?"

  Wang Da Ying suddenly came back to his senses, if this family were to split up, who would support the eldest in their studies?

  Can she still be so idle at home?

  Will there still be so much food at home?

  At the thought of this, she rolled over and hugged Gu Weiqiangs leg, freeing up one hand to slap herself repeatedly. Looking at the force, after just two slaps, her face was swollen like a pigs head. "Fourth brother, it was my fault for being narrow-minded and not treating Anan and Dongdong as my own flesh and blood. Give me another chance, I will definitely treat them like my own daughter and son..."

  Gu Wei Qiangs expression was icy cold as he spat out two words, "Too late."

  Zhou Aiju led her own daughter-in-law and found that the whole village was quiet. She turned around, "Whats going on?"

  Zhao Junyan shook his head.

  The two of them quickened their pace, and before they even reached the door, they heard Wang Da Ying crying out for her father and mother, begging Gu Wei Qiang to forgive her. Zhou Ai Jus heart skipped a beat as she realized that after decades of being neighbors, everything could be cleared up with just a few words.

  She pushed through the crowd, taking in the expressions of each family member: the old mans stubbornness, the second sons reluctance, the youngest sons determination, Wang Da Yings regret, and her grandsons evasiveness.

  Finally, it ended with a sigh, and this family was scattered, with gaps between the brothers.

  Zhou Aijus body trembled, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, "Divorce, now!!!"

  The old master looked at his wife in disbelief, "Wife, I disagree."

  "Usually mild-mannered Zhou Aijuan suddenly cursed, Whats the point of you disagreeing? Go ask which son besides Erge doesnt want to divide the family property? Which of our sons isnt helping to support Erge and his family just because of your face? Since Erge and his family are ungrateful, fine! Everyone can fend for themselves from now on!"

  Old Gu refused to give up, "The eldest and third son definitely dont want to divide the family property, but the fourth one has a rebellious streak, always jumping around."

  "I just went to Old Threes house this morning, and his wife was very unwilling. Old Three takes 15 yuan every month to support the family, but his daughter-in-law made it clear that they can only support the elderly, not other idle people." This idle person is actually referring to Old Twos whole family. Although Old Big doesnt earn much money, he and his wife are diligent and always work hard on the land, and theyre not the kind of people who like to take advantage of others. In a year, the money they earn is just enough for them to get by.

  The old fourth is even more unnecessary to mention, he alone supports this whole family.

  The four words "idle and lazy population" were deeply engraved on Gu Weifus spine, he was still the team leader of Gujia Village, he didnt dare to think about how the villagers looked at him now, a team leader of a whole village, actually relying on his brothers to make a living, it was too embarrassing to say.

  "Dad, lets divide the family property!"

  As for what Lao Da thinks, it was subconsciously ignored by him.

  Zhou Aiju glanced at her second child and sighed, then turned to look at her eldest child, "Weiguo, whats your opinion?"

  Gu Weiguo squatted on the ground, holding his head, and scenes of his younger son being bullied by the older sons children, and his wife being ordered around by his second brothers wife, flashed through his mind like a horse running wildly. He raised his head, his voice trembling, "Mom, I agree to divide."

  Zhao Junyan looked fiercely at her own man, with an uncontrollable surprise in her eyes. Gu Weiguo patted Zhao Junyans shoulder with his hand, with a hint of relief and liberation.

  Since all four houses have agreed, theres no need to delay any further.

  Zhou Aiju was a fiery personality, and Gu Weiqiang assisted her by inviting the elder members of the clan to come out.

  It was settled, and Gu Wei Qiang still made time to hand over the hooves, pastry, and braised pork that he had bought back from the county town to Gu Hua Zi. In front of everyone, he instructed, "Hua Zi, you take these things back first, let your siblings cook them, and let An An and Dong Dong have a hot meal. I estimate it will still take some time, no need to wait for me." The children eating was the most important thing.

  Gu Hua Zi deliberately opened the bag, revealing the fragrant braised pork and pigs trotters inside. He was delighted, "Ah, this meat on the trotters is really good, with a mix of fatty and lean parts, I estimate its over 10 pounds! Anan and Dongdong cant finish so much, our familys Xiaxia can also get a taste, and this braised pork looks like its from the big restaurant in the county town. Just smelling it makes my mouth water. And theres Lao Fu Jis crispy pastry, this is really good stuff! One bite and its both fragrant and crispy, I almost want to swallow my tongue."

  He even walked in front of Wang Da Ying, and said with a smile, "Originally your three kids could still taste it, but now they can only look at what it looks like. Second sister, thank you for being so stingy to Anan and Dongdong! Otherwise, how would my family get such a good deal?"

  Wang Da Ying didnt regret it at first, but now shes seeing a table full of food, all delicious dishes, her intestines are already green with regret. If she hadnt gone into the western room that morning to scold those two siblings, by now the delicious dishes would have been in her belly.

  Next to him, Gu Shuang sucked his nose and swallowed saliva continuously, wailing, "Mom, I want to eat meat, and also pastry."

  Wang Da Ying slapped him on the back of the head, "All you know is eating."

  Gu Huazi patted Gu Shuangs head with a profound meaning, intentionally saying: "Shuangzi, from now on you wont be able to eat anymore. Your mom has driven away the god of wealth at home! Hmph, take a good look while you can, or else you wont even get to see it in the future." Who this god of wealth referred to was clear to everyone.

  Isnt it just Gu Wei Qiang, the fourth son of the Gu family?

  Onlookers were gloating, especially Zhao Gui Fang who had a grudge against Wang Da Ying. She laughed so hard her face was twisted, "You cant bring that braised pork to my house and tease our dog Dan again." The Gu family had a member named Gu Wei Qiang who worked outside and often brought back good things, especially for Gu Shuang. Her mother spoiled her and she had a similar temperament, cheap and annoying. Every time she got something good, Gu Shuang liked to take it in front of their dog Dan and tease him on purpose, making Dan cry out loud.

  Zhao Guifang was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do. Which family could afford to eat meat at every meal like the old Gu family?

  Now that Caishen has left, lets see how Wang Da Ying will show off next.

  Gu Shuang cried even harder when she heard Zhao Guifangs words.

  Shouting at the top of ones lungs.

  On the side, Gu Dan comforted him with a few words, "Gu Shuang, dont cry, brother will make money to buy it for you in the future." As for Gu Shu, he was so disheartened that he didnt hear any of the commotion on this side.

  He only knew one thing, Fourth Uncle didnt care about him anymore.

  The tuition fee for the second half of the year is still eighty yuan.

  He also owed his classmates thirty-seven yuan. Previously, in front of his girlfriend, he boasted that after the New Year, he would buy a Phoenix brand bicycle and take her to ride along the river, but now the bicycle is gone too.

  Nothing is left.

  Gu Shus eyes turned red as he rushed out.

  Gu Huazi saw it, shook his head, "The eldest of the Gu family is just a wolf in sheeps clothing, always pretending to be something hes not." He hummed a little tune, took big strides, carried a basket of things, and walked back and forth with a great mood.

  As for whats going on in the back, with Wei Qiang around, there wont be any losses to worry about. You should know that this kid, when he gets ruthless, even he himself is scared.

  In Gu Huazis home, Gu Anan, who was full and content, snuggled up on Gu Banshias warm kang, happily cracking pumpkin seeds and praising, "Aunt Juxiangs craftsmanship is really good, these pumpkin seeds are so fragrant!", better than the dried goods at the supermarket!

  Gu Banxia didnt even lift his head, directly grabbed a big handful and didnt crack the shell, chewed on it with the shell, crisp and raw, proudly saying "Otherwise, how could I be raised to 150 pounds?" Gu Banxias height followed Gu Huazi, one meter sixty-eight, but weighed 105 kilograms.

  Its really not easy for someone to grow up to be a big fatty in this age.

  Gu Huazi and Ju Xiangs feelings for each other are genuine.

  The couple only had one daughter, Banshia. There was no mother-in-law to bother her, and the old man was completely absorbed in his medicinal herbs, not paying attention to anything else, so Gu Huas life was extremely happy.

  There was also a skilled craftsman in the village who earned enough to support his family, and with the help of good brothers from time to time. It can be said that Huazais life is much better than Gu Weizhongs.

  When Gu Hua Zi returned home, he found that his three children were all huddled on the kang, cracking pumpkin seeds and looking extremely relaxed.

  He put the things he brought back on the kang table and called out, "An An, Dong Dong, come see what your dad has brought you." As for Gu Weiqiang, he subconsciously ignored him. In Hua Zis mind, it was all about food now.

  The room is too warm, the kang is burning hot, Anan lies down on the kang, feeling comfortable to the point of relaxation, not wanting to move at all, and orders, "Dongdong, go take a look."

  Without waiting for her to finish, Gu Dongdong suddenly jumped up from the bed, tore open the bag and exclaimed loudly, "Sister, its meat! And there are buns!" Gu Dongdong grabbed a flaky bun and began feeding his sister.

  Gu Anan subconsciously opened her mouth and chewed, only then did she react, "What are you feeding me?"

  Gu Dongdong licked his fingers, "Delicious pancake."

  The siblings came, and Gu Hua Zi couldnt help but laugh. He took out the pastry and put it on the table, "You two eat the pastry first, Ill get your aunt to heat up the meat, its guaranteed to be delicious." At the same time, he also picked up a piece of pastry and pinched it in his hand, obviously as a snack for his wife.

  After walking out the door, Gu Hua Zi finally reacted and remembered that he had forgotten to say something. "An An, your father is back, and they are currently dividing up the family property. Once they finish dividing it up, he will be over."

  That half of the pancake was stuck in his throat, Gu Anan suddenly coughed and got up, opening his eyes wide with surprise, "What? Divorce?"
