Chapter 5 Splitting Up (1)

“That’s right. On the way home, the officers exploited us a great deal. There was nothing left of the silver others gave us.” Second Aunt Mrs. Yao agreed.

Gu Chengrui’s heart turned cold, but at the same time, he was happy. The more ruthless they were today, the less guilt he would have in the future.

As they were at an impasse, he swept his gaze across the room. Other than a teenager from the second branch, Gu Chengxi, who had no say in this and cast a sympathetic look at him, the others were either indifferent, ignoring him, or straight up disdainful. In short, nobody cared about him, let alone spoke up for him.

After another bout of coughing, Gu Chengrui looked at his father and said, “Since this family can’t accommodate the two of us, let’s just separate. We’ll accept our fate, dead or alive.”

“Third brother, what are you saying? We’re all family. Why are you splitting up?

“Besides, who says this family can’t accommodate you two?” The old madam quickly said.

Gu Chengrui turned to look at the old lady and said, “Old madam, does the family really not even have the money to treat your grandson’s cold?

“Do you really not know what we’ve been through in the past half a month?

“Who here treats us as a family? Our treatment is probably even worse than that of a servant. ”

“You …” The three questions made the old madam lost for words.

She knew that even she had some spare money, let alone her two daughters-in-law.

However, things were different now, so she had to keep some just in case.

Thinking of this, she could only look at Mrs. Liu, hoping she could take out some silver to keep them.

But Mrs. Liu met her eyes and avoided them.

Her son and daughter were already of marriageable age.

Their family didn’t have a decent income, so how could they give money to others?

Not to mention, if Gu Chengrui stayed at home, he would get a share of the family property if Mr. Gu died early. It was better to take advantage of this and directly shoo him away to save the trouble.

Seeing Mrs. Liu’s reaction, Mr. Gu naturally understood what she meant, so he directly said, “Then let’s split. But other than the things in your house, there’s nothing else for you.”

“It seems my father doesn’t want me as a son anymore. That’s fine. In the future, whether we live or die will be our fate.” At this point, Gu Chengrui coughed twice and took two deep breaths before saying, “However, words need to be written as proof. I’ll have to trouble you to go with me to the family leader to write a written proof and the village chief to separate our household registration.”

“You …” Mr. Gu was furious after hearing that.

At the same time, his expression was a little unnatural.

A few days ago, he almost had a fall out with the family leader because he wanted to get back a hundred acres of land that he had entrusted to the clan to look after in the early years, as well as the dividends from the workshop and the two officers’ positions.

If the family leader knew that he had separated his son from the family without giving a thing, who knows how he would laugh at him?

However, he felt increasingly uncomfortable when he met Gu Chengrui’s firm eyes. In addition, Zhou Ying had already started to rebel. Thus, he felt it was better to kick them out of the house now. Therefore, he returned to the house to get the household registration book and said, “Then hurry up. The family leader will be going out in a while.”

Gu Chengrui responded and gently patted Zhou Ying’s hand away. “Pack up our things and wait for me at home.”

Zhou Ying nodded. She quickly ate the steamed bun in her hand. Then, she put down the lunch box and went to the kitchen to drink the remaining millet porridge. After that, she went back to her room to pack up.

However, there wasn’t much to pack. They each had a change of clothes, an old quilt, and a piece of coarse cloth curtain used to block the window. A bag was enough for them to pack it all up.
