Chapter 910: 910 divided by 2
Xiao Qinghe shook his head, “No. Since we are dividing the family, I will manage on my own.”
“But…” Xiao Yishan wanted to say sothing.
Xiao Qinghe said, “I plan to lease out the fields under my na. That should be more than enough for my needs. Besides, even after the division, our houses are still together. If anything happens, you can still look after .”
He had burdened his second brother and third brother enough and didn’t want to cause them any more trouble.
He had not originally wanted his wife’s fields, but if he didn’t take them, she probably wouldn’t have peace of mind about him. He already owed her too much.
He decided to take more fields to allow her to rest easy and closed the matter.
Seeing that his mind was made up, Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan said no more.
Next, they divided up items like rice, hoes, and other utensils, and Su Qingyue and the Xiao Family’s three sons went to the village chief’s house.
Xiao Yuchan pushed Qinghe’s wheelchair, while she walked next to Xiao Yishan.
Li Rong’er stayed behind to watch the ho.
On the road, they encountered quite a few villagers, among them Aunt Liu who said, “The Xiao Family, are you going to the village chief’s house to register the family division?”
The three n said nothing, but Su Qingyue smiled and said, “Aunt Liu, how did you know?”
“Chuan had already asked the village chief earlier. Seeing how you’re all headed to the village chief’s house, naturally, I knew,” Aunt Liu glanced at the sky, “Anyway, I haven’t got much to do, so I might as well tag along and watch the excitent.”
“Feel free,” Su Qingyue responded.
The Xiao Family, being the largest local landlord of the village, naturally attracted a lot of interest from many people when it ca to the family division.
Upon their arrival at the village chief’s house, a lot of people were already there in the yard; few were there to register official matters, as most were drawn by the scandal surrounding the Liang Family.
A long rectangular table was set up in the yard, with the village chief, Liang Lizheng, seated in front of it, writing and calculating sothing.
The old, weathered face of Liang Lizheng looked very weary, as if he had aged several years overnight, but still, he mustered his spirits and glanced at the Xiao Family, “The Xiao Family’s three sons have all co. Have you decided how to divide the family?”
The three nodded.
“Then speak about how you plan to distribute the property,” the village chief’s voice was a bit hoarse.
Su Qingyue looked at Liang Lizheng, feeling a tinge of pity.
Actually, she hadn’t had much contact with Liang Lizheng. Although he was sowhat humble, he was still one of the more respectable people in the village, unfortunately having such a son and step wife that brought disgrace to the family.
Su Qingyue didn’t regret exposing the affair between Liang Ping’an and Liu Yuhong. After all, it was only a matter of ti before Liang Lizheng would find out. The sooner he knew, while he was still relatively young and could bear it, the better; if he had learned of it in a few more years, he might have been angered to death.
By the look of Liang Lizheng’s complexion, being able to deal with the affairs of the village so quickly indicated that he had a strong capacity for enduring hardship and a strong sense of responsibility towards the village.
It was a pity that the scandal had stripped away his title as village chief.
As for Liang Ping’an and Liu Yuhong, scheming against her third brother, by her nature, she could have dealt with the two of them discreetly without anyone being the wiser. She had already shown considerable face for Liang Lizheng by rely letting people discover their adulterous affair; otherwise, she could have made things much worse for them.
Everyone knew that it was her dog that had dragged out Liang Ping’an’s underpants and Liu Yuhong’s bellyband, revealing their relationship. Seeing Liang Lizheng’s expression, he didn’t seem to hold a grudge against her pet.
The Xiao Family’s three sons, following what Su Qingyue had laid out, explained their property distribution thod. Liang Zhenghong wrote it down, producing five copies, and asked the Xiao Family’s three sons to press their handprints, “Let’s get your handprints on these.”
