Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 16 It’s all my incompetence!

Jiang Haiqing looked at Jiang Youzhen as if he had seen a ghost, "Is this really Erlang?"

"It's absolutely true. It's like he's become a completely different person."

Jiang Hailin is still a little dazed. Where is the Erlang who used to be hardworking, obedient and sensible?

What a sin! Return that Erlang to them.

"Brother, you've forced Erlang into this state. Where's the money the Li family sent? Do you want to keep it all for yourself? Take it out now."

When Jiang Youzhen returned to the second room, she saw four pairs of eyes staring at her eagerly.

"It's done!" Jiang Youzhen smiled.

Shen and her three sisters smiled immediately, and Shen then remembered the ten taels of silver.

"What about the ten taels of silver?"

"We're not going out!" Jiang Youzhen said as he walked to the bed.

She didn't mention giving them one year's pension in advance, because saying so would only make them worry in vain.

"Dad, are you awake?"

As soon as Jiang Youzhen went over, he saw Jiang Fugui staring at the roof with empty eyes. Oh my! Is he crazy from the excitement? Should he go over?

"This is the document for the division of the family property. They have all signed it. Only your fingerprint is left."

Jiang Fugui rolled his eyes and looked at the family division document with lifeless eyes, while Jiang Youzhen frowned.

"Dad doesn't want to split up the family?"

She glanced at Jiang Fugui. She could understand his sadness at this point. After all, he had given so much to this family.

But if this father dares to hold her back, she will have to move away with her mother and sisters.

It doesn't matter who he lives with! Just don't let it hinder your own fortune.

"Give it to me!" Jiang Fugui didn't even ask how the problem was solved. He just pressed his fingerprints on it without even looking at it.

Jiang Youzhen happily collected it and made three copies, with each party holding one copy and the clan member holding one copy as evidence.

After Jiang Youzhen left, Shen looked at Jiang Fugui's dying appearance and got angry for the first time.

"Now that we have separated, we will have to rely on you. If you don't pull yourself together, we won't even have money to give your father for his retirement.

Erya is already eighteen years old and can no longer prepare a dowry. Do you really want her to be an old maid?"

Today, Mrs. Shen finally realized that the old man and the old lady didn't care about them at all.

Including my sister-in-law, uncle and younger uncle, they all treated their family as farmhands and even gave them money instead of wages.

This time, Erlang's incident stimulated her, and it was time to make plans for the children.

Jiang Fugui opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"If you want to live with your father, then I will take Erya and the others out of the house.

Even if we go begging, it’s better than starving to death. Just live with your father! You don’t care about us anyway.”

Shen wiped her tears. She was not afraid of hardship, but she felt sorry for the children's suffering!

Jiang Fugui suddenly woke up and sat up anxiously.

"What are you talking about? How could I not want you?"

He said painfully, "I am just sad that my parents treated me this way, and I can't get over it for the time being."

Shen felt sorry for him and pushed him back onto the bed.

"Anyway, you can't blame Erlang. He almost died this time. Who wouldn't be afraid? You treat your parents well, but they can't tolerate us."

Erlang was tough today, but she was worried about his future.

Erlang is a girl, and girls will get married when they grow up. They can’t always dress up as men.

If Jiang Fugui fails to succeed, his own children will be the only ones who suffer.

"We still need 300 coins a month for retirement. I just heard Erlang say that if she can't get that much, she'll join the army."

Shen was actually eavesdropping outside, she was worried about Erlang. Erlang was still young, how could he fight against the old man and the others?

"What? No, how could she think that?"

Jiang Fugui pounded the bed, tears streaming down his face, "It's all my incompetence!"

After the separation documents were signed, Jiang Youzhen felt relieved.

After sending the elders to the door, the villagers who had climbed up the wall still refused to leave and were all talking about the Jiang family's affairs.

Jiang Youzhen could imagine that what happened today would become a topic of conversation among them after dinner, and they would talk about it with relish for several days.

Suddenly she heard the voice of Eighth Grandpa in the crowd and immediately had an idea.

"Today, the village head, clan leader and other elders are presiding over the division of the family. I am very grateful. My family is poor, so I will owe you some money for the division. When we have some extra money, I will definitely invite everyone to a banquet."

As Jiang Youzhen spoke, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times to the group of people.

"What are you talking about? Get up! Everyone knows your family's situation and we won't argue over dividing the family meal."

The patriarch was startled and shouted immediately.

“Please don’t blame Grandpa, our family is really too poor, otherwise they wouldn’t have thought of selling me.

Now Doctor Liang says that my father has worked too hard and his health has been damaged, so he is no longer suitable for hard labor."

Jiang Youzhen wiped away his tears and said, "Please don't blame my father. I was the one who proposed the separation. If you want to blame someone, blame me!

My sisters have reached the age of marriage, and I am really unable to do so. I don’t want to be a burden to the family anymore, so I proposed to separate the family.”

"What? It turns out that the second son of the Jiang family can't work anymore, so they split up the family?"

"Yes! Didn't they say that there would only be two rooms? What a sin!"

"The family was divided and only given 30 kilograms of black flour, nothing else, but it was better than leaving the house with nothing."

Jiang Youzhen's words moved everyone present. The soft-hearted aunt immediately said, "Jiang Jia Shiliu Lang, how can you be blamed for this? You are so young, but you have already shouldered such a heavy responsibility. Your grandfather and his family are so cruel!"

The original owner was ranked sixteenth in his clan, and the villagers generally addressed him by his clan ranking.

When the elders heard this, they also sighed.

Originally they thought Jiang Youzhen was cruel and did not value filial piety.

Although it is understandable, it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort in my heart.

Now that Jiang Youzhen said this, they feel like they are not human beings. They watch a child being forced into this state and yet they blame the child.

"Get up quickly! With your determination, you will definitely live a good life in the future."

The clan leader looked at Jiang Youzhen meaningfully. How could an ordinary farm boy have such a plan?

Jiang He was wrong. Why should he support those two idiots?

The one who can truly revitalize the Jiang family is the person in front of you!

"I'll bring you some rice and flour when I get home. I also have an old pot that we don't want anymore. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you for household use!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Patriarch. I am very grateful and will definitely repay you all for your kindness in the future."

Jiang Youzhen kowtowed three times as he spoke. When everyone saw this, they immediately felt more sympathy for him.

"That's too much! We are all from the same tribe, there's no need to be so harsh!"

Chief Jiang said this, but judging from the smile on his face, he was actually very happy about it.

When Shen and her three sisters heard the noise, they immediately came out and kowtowed to the elders, then huddled together crying.

Even Jiang Fugui struggled to get out of the house. Everyone saw that he was indeed pale and looked very frail.

I suddenly felt sorry that Jiang Fugui’s body was broken!

The second branch had an even more difficult time from then on, and at the same time they also attacked Grandpa Jiang and his men.

"It is so sad to hear it and it makes people cry!" sighed the head of the village.
