Chapter 104 My House

Gu Ye’s words immediately made the Gu family restless. This included Gu’s father, who rushed over from home when he sensed something was wrong.

But Gu Ye was determined to split the family, and the house was indeed built with his own money, and Shen Zhiyu’s family had also contributed money and effort. Besides, everyone had seen how the Gu family treated Gu Ye and how Gu Ye had acted over the years.

Even if they invited the elders from the commune, they couldn’t find fault with Gu Ye. Moreover, Gu Ye had kept a record of all the things and money he had sent back home over the years! Seeing is believing. Wow, over the years, the money and things Gu Ye had sent back, added up to almost a thousand! Excluding the dowry he gave when he married, there was still a few hundred left.

Not to mention the good things he sent back and the things he brought back every time he came home. When Shen Zhiyu saw Gu Ye taking out his account book, she secretly glanced at him, feeling even more distressed. He remembered so clearly, he must have guessed that this day would come.

Gu’s mother and the others saw Gu Ye’s account book and were furious: “Okay, so you’ve never really considered us family, you’ve been guarding against us all along.”

Gu Ye’s heart was now like iron, impervious to anything. He didn’t feel anything when he heard any attacks. He had a clear conscience.

And he even showed his characteristic of high execution as a soldier, that morning he went to invite the commune leaders and the elders of the Gu family. According to their local customs, the elders of the clan would preside over the division of the family.

 Gu Hu usually stayed at home and was very close to the respected elders in the clan. Now, seeing Gu Ye actually inviting them over, he almost laughed out loud.

“Uncle, you’re here, are you really going to uphold justice for us?” Who knew, the uncle didn’t even look at him, but after understanding the situation, he directly said: “According to the rules, your old Gu family has three sons, the house, money, and family food should be divided into three parts, give one part to Gu Ye.” “But now, the house was built by Gu Ye himself, that brick house is his own, you still have to divide another room for Gu Ye.

” Gu Hu: “…….Uncle!” The uncle’s ears were sometimes good and sometimes bad. For example, now, he couldn’t hear Gu Hu’s voice. He also thought Gu Hu was stupid. He was an elder in the clan, and he naturally considered the clan’s interests. Now that the Gu family had finally produced a successful young man, they naturally hoped that he would develop better and better.

The situation was clear, Gu Ye and his family would hold him back. Splitting the family meant splitting from the small Gu family, but Gu Ye was still a member of their clan.

 Even for the sake of the bigger picture, the uncle wouldn’t let Gu Ye suffer, he wouldn’t chill the hearts of the younger generation. The uncle had spoken, and the commune leader immediately drafted a division of family agreement.

 It listed the date and location, the reason for the division, how to divide, and where the new house assigned to Gu Ye was located. Because Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyu’s household registration and grain and oil relations were all in the army, the matter of transferring household registration and grain and oil relations was saved.

 “Captain Gu, take a look, the brick house belongs to you, because you’ve been in the army all these years, you haven’t worked in the team, your work points all belong to your father Gu Hua and the others, the 300 yuan deposit in the family, most of it was sent back by you, you get the bigger share of 200 yuan, and three bags of sweet potatoes, one bag of rice, and one bag of cornmeal, you also get a quarter.”

“After all, your parents raised you for over ten years, when your parents get old and lose their ability to work and survive, you can buy enough food for them every month and send it over, or ask someone to send it over.” In other words, besides Gu’s father and mother’s food when they get old, Gu Ye had nothing to do with anything else in the old Gu family, especially the affairs of his two brothers.

This division was actually unfair. The 300 yuan was all Gu Ye’s. But for so many years, this was how families were divided in the village. It was said that Gu Ye was wronged, but who wasn’t wronged when they split the family?

This division was already biased in favor of Gu Ye. “Second brother, do you have any problems?” Gu Ye looked at Shen Zhiyu, Shen Zhiyu nodded and shook her head, “I have no problem with these, but we need to get back our children’s three sets of clothes.”

Not to mention how much those clothes cost. Shen Zhiyu wanted to get the clothes back because it was a custom in their village. Children’s clothes were not ordinary clothes, newborns had to wear clothes from older children, from a few months to a year old, who had a close relationship with them. This was also a kind of inheritance of good fortune.

 There was also a saying that it was about passing on sickness. Some people would deliberately give their children’s old clothes worn when they were sick to other children, so that the sickness would pass on to the other children. Shen Zhiyu didn’t really believe in these things.

But when Chen Cuijuan mentioned that they had even taken Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan’s clothes, Jin Fengyan said, who knows if they did it on purpose, she also said that their monkey was uncomfortable and cried when he wore those clothes, it was because the clothes had bad things on them! How could Shen Zhiyu tolerate this. Jin Fengyan didn’t expect Shen Zhiyu to be so stingy, “You’re an aunt, what’s wrong with giving the children two pieces of clothing? You’re so stingy!”

 “I’m stingy? When my Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were born, I didn’t see you, the aunt, send anything, and these clothes were stolen by you, now they’re being returned to their rightful owner, so that later, if the children are uncomfortable, you won’t blame us.”

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyu heard her bragging and complaining. Jin Fengyan’s face froze. The onlookers immediately looked at her with even more disdain.

“Tsk, you stole other people’s things and then badmouth them, I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you.” Hearing the people around her pointing fingers at her, Jin Fengyan looked at Shen Zhiyu, who stood tall and proud, and was furious. “What are you so proud of, you’re just relying on my brother, if it weren’t for Gu Ye, what would you be?” Gu Ye’s face turned cold: “She is my wife, she is the mother of my children!”

“Alright, give it to her!” Gu’s father felt annoyed when he heard Jin Fengyan bringing up these things. He felt that their relationship with Gu Ye had become like this because of this troublemaking eldest daughter-in-law. If she hadn’t been so shallow and petty, they wouldn’t have fallen out with Gu Ye like this. Jin Fengyan felt a chill down her spine when she saw her father-in-law’s gaze, her eyes darted around: “Okay, I’ll return them when I get back.”

 Originally, Jin Fengyan was going to delay the house. She knew Gu Ye’s home leave was only a few days, so she would delay it until spring, and their family could still spend a comfortable New Year in it. Besides, after the New Year, when Gu Ye left, the house was built in their yard, whether they demolished it or not, wouldn’t it be up to them?

 Who knew, as soon as Jin Fengyan thought of this, Gu Ye said to Shen Dahe: “Dad, maybe you can help us demolish the house.” Shen Dahe nodded, “What’s a little thing, we’re not busy during the New Year, your brother and I will do it together, we can finish it in a day.”

 When Jin Fengyan heard this, her eyes went black, and she fainted. As she fainted, she muttered: “My house……..”
