Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Division of the Family Estate

Gu Changshun simply ran away like that!

Su Yunjin and Gu Ya didn’t bother with Gu Changshun’s matter any further.

The Magistrate searched for two days without success and the matter just passed by. Because of Gu Changshun’s incident, in the following days, Mrs. Zhang and her husband Gu Baofu looked at Su Yunjin with dark expressions, as ugly as they could be. From ti to ti, Mrs. Zhang would also throw a few sarcastic remarks at Su Yunjin.

If looks could kill, Su Yunjin had no doubt she would be devoured by Mrs. Zhang without leaving any crumbs behind.

The couple, Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu, disdained Gu Ya and his wife, believing them to be two useless people in the Gu Family, just idling away and eating for free. First, because of the incident with Gu Changshun, they held a grudge against Gu Ya and his wife; second, the couple had long been unwilling to be burdened by them and planned to plead once more with Gu Ya’s mother, Mrs. An, for a division of the family as soon as the busy farming season was over.

By any ans necessary, she and her husband Gu Baofu must separate from the Gu Family.

...

Currently, it was the critical ti of the farming season. If they were to divide the household now, they wouldn’t receive this year’s crops in their share. Both Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu were shrewd individuals; naturally, they would wait until the busy farming season was over before discussing the division.

The Gu Family had been busy for several days harvesting the grain, and in these past days, about half of it had been reaped. The remaining half would not take more than a few days; at most, everything would be done in around ten days.

In just over ten days, Mrs. Zhang had resolved that, no matter what, she must separate from the Gu Family. With Gu Ya and his wife now being a cripple and a sick woman, she did not wish to be dragged down by these two.

What mattered most to Mrs. Zhang was to see the destitute state of Gu Ya and his wife after they divided and left. She believed that, with one cripple and one woman, the pair would sooner or later not even be able to afford food if they lived independently.

She yearned to see Su Yunjin and her husband unable to afford even the simplest als.

When she thought of Su Yunjin and Gu Ya’s impoverished conditions, Mrs. Zhang felt a rush of satisfaction and could hardly wait to split from the Gu Family imdiately, eager to see Su Yunjin and Gu Ya fall into decline, and to exact revenge for her son Gu Changshun.

Mrs. Zhang was unaware that, while she was pondering how to divide the household, Su Yunjin was also considering the sa matter. Although her mother-in-law, Mrs. An, and her father-in-law were not bad and were bearable to live with, and the couple that were her fifth brother-in-law and his wife were also decent, Mrs. Zhang and her fourth sister-in-law, Mrs. Han, were frankly too unbearable. Su Yunjin did not fancy living under the sa roof with these troubleso individuals every day, hence, she and Gu Ya must also separate and live independently.

As for the division of the family, Mrs. Zhang had once co to make a scene about it in front of her. Su Yunjin could see that not only Mrs. Zhang but also her fourth sister-in-law, Mrs. Han and her husband, wanted to separate from the Gu Family. Since Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han both wanted to divide the household, Su Yunjin would just wait for them to speak up. When the ti ca, she would simply go with the flow and then separate from the Gu Family along with Gu Ya.

Of course, Su Yunjin was not only relying on Mrs. Zhang and her fourth sister-in-law, Mrs. Han, for the division of the household. If in a few more days Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han did not propose the division, then she would take the initiative to find a way to separate from the Gu Family with Gu Ya.

While Su Yunjin was still pondering over the division of the household, soone from the Su Family ca to tell her, “Yunjin, it’s terrible! Your grandmother wants to sell your second sister Ningxiu to the old Master Huang in town as a concubine. That old Master Huang is almost sixty years old, and your sister is still so young. If she really gets sold to old Master Huang, wouldn’t your second sister’s life be ruined?”
