Shen Lizheng and Patriarch Shen were looking at Shen Sili and sighing in their hearts. When they heard Shen Zhiyao's words, they looked away.
Patriarch Shen asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Shen Zhiyao said loudly: "I want to separate the family!"
Separate the family!
Shen Lizheng and Patriarch Shen were stunned.
Next to them, Old Shen, who had turned pale since Shen Sili was cut off, and seemed to have aged several years in an instant, also had his eyes widened.
The tip of Shen Zhiyao's nose felt sore, her eyes were filled with tears, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly and she whimpered:
"Uncle Li Zheng, clan leader, as you have seen just now, my fourth uncle will sell my sister because he owes money, and grandpa will eventually abandon us. Woo hoo, if there is another time, either I will be sold, or Bai Qiu will be sold. Sold, if we three sisters continue to stay in this home, there will be no way for us to survive."
As Shen Zhiyao spoke, she quietly pinched Shen Baiqiu's arm with her hanging hand.
Shen Baiqiu understood intelligently, and immediately said with bitter sorrow: "Uncle Li Zheng, grandpa, the patriarch, Yue Ya and I have done the most work at home for so many years, but we don't have enough to eat every day, and we have to live with livestock every night. Grandma doesn’t even think of us as human beings...Please make the decision and let grandpa separate us and let us live."
"Woohoo, begging Uncle Li Zheng's grandfather to master, Crescent does not want to be beaten by grandma anymore." Shen Yueya saw her sister and brother crying, and her little hand rubbed her eyes pitifully, and she pulled the Shen family in tears. Sleeves.
Seeing this made everyone feel sad.
Shen Lizheng and the clan leader also knew what kind of life Bai Qiu and Yue Ya lived in this family, but if the family was separated, how would they survive with just three children?
"The elders are here and there is no separation of families. Please stop making trouble."
Seeing that Old Shen didn't speak, Shen Yuanyuan hurriedly spoke.
Zhiyao and the others were so unfilial. If they separated the family while their father was still alive, wouldn't they make the villagers laugh?
But Xiao Yang thought that if the family was divided, the property would be divided. What if Shen Zhiyao and the others separated and took away the family's fields?
For a moment, little Yang put aside the blow Shen Sili had given her, and quickly pinched Old Mrs. Yang's hand to wake her up.
"Second uncle, if the needle doesn't prick you, you won't know the pain. How could I think about separating the family if I wasn't desperate?" Shen Zhiyao closed her eyes weakly, with a frustrated look on her face.
"Hey." Shen Lizheng sighed softly and looked at Old Man Shen: "Second uncle, what do you say?"
Old Man Shen had just chosen to hand over Yue Ya, and at this moment he still felt a little guilty. He stared straight at Shen Baiqiu and asked, "Bai Qiu, do you really want to separate?"
Shen Baiqiu nodded heavily: "Grandpa, I once expected that grandpa would treat me as well as my two younger brothers in my fourth uncle's family. But after waiting for a long time, I no longer had such thoughts."
Old Man Shen was silent.
After a moment, he finally nodded: "Okay, let's divide it."
The fourth son is already like this. It is impossible for him to study for the imperial examination in the future, and they do not have to work hard to farm. There is no point in leaving Bai Qiu and the others at home.
"If you separate your family, you will separate your family, but you don't want any of your family's land!"
Old Mrs. Yang had woken up and heard what happened from Little Yang.
"Second aunt, regardless of the land, how do you expect Bai Qiu and the three of them to live?" Shen Lizheng frowned.
Mrs. Yang glanced at the three sisters Shen Zhiyao and said nonchalantly: "They can't divide the land anyway. If Shen Yueya, a little loser, just goes with the old bustard, will my son suffer such a big crime? Do you still want to If you want to divide the fields, there’s no way!”
"What does it have to do with Yue Ya? Your son didn't take care of his lower body!" Aunt Chen rolled her eyes in disdain.
"It's the affairs of my Shen family. Why are you, a Chen family, meddling in their own business? You have to pity them and give them some of your family's land." Mrs. Yang responded without showing any signs of weakness.
Aunt Chen wanted to say something else, but Shen Zhiyao pulled her and shook her head.
Afterwards, Shen Zhiyao raised her voice and said: "We can not divide the fields. Those fields will be regarded as repaying the kindness of raising Bai Qiu and Yue Ya to grandpa, but I want to break off the relationship. From now on, we three sisters will have nothing to do with you." Any relationship.”
Break off the relationship?
This girl is quite courageous.
Only then did Patriarch Shen look at Shen Zhiyao.
"Ha, that's nice. Don't come back and beg us again when the time comes." Mrs. Yang sneered, and then asked Little Yang to carry Shen Sili into the house.
"Don't worry, step-grandma, even if our three sisters starve to death in the future, we won't beg you." Shen Zhiyao turned to Shen Lizheng and said respectfully: "Uncle Li Zheng, please help me write the family separation documents and divorce documents. The household registrations of Bai Qiu and Yue Ya will be transferred out."
As for her household registration, she was thinking about splitting up the family after she came back, but she had not yet joined the Shen family.
After Bai Qiu and Yue Ya's are separated, hers will be merged together.
"Second uncle?" Shen Li was about to see Old Man Shen's opinion.
Old Man Shen hesitated.
Old Mrs. Yang thought that Old Man Shen couldn't bear not to allocate land to Shen Zhiyao and the others, so she sat down on the ground and said: "Old man, it will cost money to treat Si Li's injuries next, and it will cost money to prepare a dowry for Qizhu. If you If the fields are given to them, we will no longer live!”
Old Man Shen was exhausted mentally and physically by her troubles, and thought of Shen Zhiyao's words that night:
Grandpa, having expectations for you was my most wrong idea.
This sentence was mixed with what Shen Baiqiu said just now, "I no longer have such thoughts", which made Old Shen's pale face darker.
In the end, Old Man Shen weakly said to Shen Lizheng: "Just do as she said."
Shen Li was asking someone to go home and get him paper, pen and ink.
During this period, Chen Hu invited the old doctor from the village over. Old Shen asked Shen Yuan to take the old doctor in first to see Shen Sili's injury.
When Shen Lizheng's pen and ink were in place, Shen Lizheng quickly wrote the family separation document and the divorce document in triplicate. Each party took one copy, and Shen Lizheng took the third copy to the government for filing and gave it to Shen Baiqiu. Change household registration.
Shen Zhiyao looked at the document carefully and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she put her fingerprint on it.
After Shen Lizheng gave Shen Zhiyao the document that Old Shen also fingerprinted, he said: "To change the household registration, you need to go to the county. The new household registration will be given to you tomorrow at the earliest."
"Thank you, Uncle Li Zheng. This is my household registration. I would like to ask Uncle Li Zheng to help me merge my household registration with Bai Qiu's household." Shen Zhiyao gratefully gave the household registration to Shen Lizheng.
Shen Lizheng nodded in agreement.
After Shen Lizheng, Chief Shen, and other clan members left, Mrs. Yang immediately chased Shen Zhiyao and the others away with a bamboo pick: "You are no longer members of the Shen family, get out now."
"Zhiyao, let's go, let's go live at my aunt's house first. I'm too lazy to be angry with Mrs. Yang." Aunt Chen immediately extended an olive branch.
Shen Zhiyao thought that she still had something to do in Lihua Village, so she did not refuse: "Thank you Aunt Chen, then we will not bother you."
