Chapter 4: Helping my uncle divide the family property 

The old woman, Mrs. Sun, looked up with a disapproving expression at the sound.

Seeing Ji Xiaoyue, she sneered sarcastically, “Oh, isn’t this Ji Shizhang’s unwanted daughter? Didn’t you go back to your parents’ house?

Why are you back again? Did your family not want you anymore and kick you out again?”

When Ji Xiaoyue was taken away, she refused to let her go, making a big fuss and demanding that the Ji family pay her five thousand yuan, claiming that her family had helped the Ji family raise a college student.

Later, the Ji family used their connections and gave the old woman a thousand yuan, and she reluctantly let her go.

Ignoring the old woman’s sarcasm, Ji Xiaoyue walked over to her uncle and aunt, “Uncle, Aunt, we must split the family today. My cousin and I will take care of you.”

Hearing this, the old woman pointed at Ji Xiaoyue’s nose and cursed, “Ji Xiaoyue, you good-for-nothing, your own parents don’t want you, so you come to our house to meddle.”

The two of them, ignoring the old woman’s arguments about the family split, stood up and pulled Ji Xiaoyue aside.

They asked in surprise, “Xiaoyue, isn’t school starting soon? Why are you back?”

Ji Xiaoyue looked at them and sighed, “I can’t go. The spot was given to Ji Qingqing.”

Sun Gensheng, hearing her words, said incredulously, “What? Are they crazy? They brought you back with all their efforts just to take your college spot?”

Wang Guihua also stood up abruptly and pulled Ji Xiaoyue, “You are their real daughter, they gave the spot to Ji Qingqing.”

Before they could ask for clarification, the old woman had already pointed at them and shouted, “Sun Gensheng, if you still recognize me as your mother, then pay the money on time.

Don’t think about splitting the family or not. When you die, you’ll still rely on my Abao to hold the banner for you.”

Then, she pointed at Ji Xiaoyue, “Get this good-for-nothing out of here. If you want to stay in my house, forget it!”

Ji Xiaoyue stood there with a mocking smile, her expression somewhat malicious as she stared at the old woman, “Grandma, if you don’t split the family, then I can only spread your dirty secrets in Anhe Village. Everyone would love to hear those stories!”

The old woman sneered, “What secrets do I have that can’t be seen? If you have the guts, go ahead and tell them!”

Ji Xiaoyue walked closer to her and whispered a few words in her ear.

When she finished speaking, the old woman’s face turned pale, and she stared at her with wide eyes, “You… you’re talking nonsense! If you dare to spread rumors, I’ll beat you to death.”

Ji Xiaoyue laughed even more brightly, “Grandma, we just want to split the family, we’re not asking for money. You choose, do you want to split the family or your face?”

Then, she said meaningfully, “If this gets out, it’s not just you who will lose face! Your beloved son and his family will also lose face in the village. I wonder if you’ll still be able to live in the village!”

Before she could finish, the old woman had stood up abruptly, angrily pointing at Ji Xiaoyue’s nose and shouting, “Fine! We’ll split! Split right now! You don’t get to take anything from the Sun family.

Don’t even think about getting back the money you gave me. The dilapidated house in the east of the city is yours. Now get out!”

Ji Xiaoyue pulled her uncle and aunt, “Let’s go! We’ll pack our things.”

The old woman, her face flushed red, stared at Ji Xiaoyue, “You little slut, you better not say anything, or I won’t let you off!”

Ji Xiaoyue nodded forcefully and retorted rudely, “Okay! As long as you don’t cause trouble, my mouth will be shut tight.”

Then, she went to pack with her uncle and aunt.

After entering the house, Wang Guihua pulled Ji Xiaoyue and asked, “What happened? Tell me everything from the beginning. About the college spot and the family split.”

Sun Gensheng also asked anxiously, “Didn’t your parents take you back to the city so that it would be easier for you to go to college?”

Ji Xiaoyue, hearing this, snorted sarcastically, “They took me back for my college spot. Ji Qingqing is their treasure, I’m just a stepping stone for her.”

Wang Guihua, listening to what Ji Xiaoyue said, couldn’t believe it and cursed, “What are they thinking? You’re their real daughter, don’t they know what they’re doing?”

Ji Xiaoyue held their hands and put on a pitiful expression, “Uncle, Aunt, they don’t want me, you won’t abandon me, will you? I have nothing left, only you.”

Wang Guihua, seeing Ji Xiaoyue’s appearance, felt heartbroken, “Yueyue, your parents are no good. They don’t want you, your uncle and I want you. We’ll be a family from now on.”

Ji Xiaoyue nodded repeatedly, “Okay!”

Sun Gensheng, however, was unwilling to give up, “No! I’m going to ask them what’s going on. You worked so hard to get into college, what’s the deal with giving it to Ji Qingqing?”

Ji Xiaoyue pulled her uncle, “Uncle, it’s already like this, don’t worry about it now. Let’s move first! While Grandma agreed to split, let’s pack our things quickly. What if she changes her mind later?”

Wang Guihua finally remembered this, and she asked again, “What did you say to your grandma? We’ve been fighting for so many years, she wouldn’t agree to split, how come she suddenly agreed?”

Ji Xiaoyue smiled at them, covering her mouth, “Grandma has been a widow for many years, and I told her that I’ve seen her rolling in the hay with old men in the village many times. I didn’t dare to say it before, but today, if she didn’t split the family, I would tell everyone in the village.”

Wang Guihua and Sun Gensheng, hearing her words, were speechless for a long time.

“Did you see it with your own eyes?” Wang Guihua asked uncertainly.

Ji Xiaoyue chuckled with them, “No, I was just making it up. Who knew Grandma would agree?”

The original Ji Xiaoyue, of course, didn’t know about the old woman…

The whole village knew about her affairs, but Ji Xiaoyue knew too. It was mentioned in the novel.

What she whispered in the old woman’s ear was about when and with whom she had rolled in the hay.

The time and place were accurate. How could the old woman not feel guilty?

Wang Guihua said incredulously, “Yueyue, you dared to say that? The old woman is so powerful, she didn’t tear your mouth apart.”

Sun Gensheng gritted his teeth and said with hatred, “The old woman is just guilty, that’s why she agreed to split the family today.

If my father hadn’t died early, and if it weren’t for a little bit of face, I really wanted to tear off her old face, for doing such shameless things.”

He said, wiping away a tear, and turned to pack his things.

Wang Guihua also sighed and went to pack.

Ji Xiaoyue helped them pack.

First things first, they had to split the family.

The three of them only packed a few clothes before moving out of the Sun family’s main house.

The house in the east of the city was a thatched cottage, which had been unoccupied for many years. Now that they were moving in, they needed money not only to fix the house, but also to buy new furniture.

As they left, the old woman cursed with resentment, “Don’t come back begging me! Sun Gensheng, you can’t have a son, no one will take care of you in your old age, you’ll just rot in the corner.”

After saying that, she slammed the door shut.
