After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

Old lady Gu looked dazed. She didn't expect that she would become so popular.

But she knew her two sons and knew that they were all people who would not do anything without profit.

"You are all vying to support me, so what about your father?" Old lady Gu asked.

Old Master Gu pretended to be stupid: "Mom, Dad has always liked my second brother and Niuniu the most, and I can't compete with my second brother."

Old Master Gu also echoed.

Looking at the two sons, the old lady felt sad.

The old lady just thought about it and understood the reason. The old man had a confused disease and couldn't help them with work. Although she was sick once, she was actually fine and could still help them.

More importantly, by supporting her, they can still get filial piety from the second son on a daily basis. Even if she is sick, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they can ask the second son for medical expenses.

"Mom, the eldest son should take care of the family business and support his parents. Don't worry, I will definitely be filial to you in the future." Old Master Gu promised solemnly.

He kept talking about "keeping the family business", and almost said that he would take the biggest share of the family business.

"Your father and I have been together all our lives. Now that we have separated, we don't plan to separate." After saying this, Mrs. Gu saw that her eldest son's face was visibly ugly.

"Mom, we are just taking care of each other separately. Our family only has this one house, so we will naturally live together when the time comes." The eldest son of the Gu family explained.

The old lady felt that if she continued to argue, she would probably only get a sad result. Then she looked at the clan leader who was waiting on the side and said, "His uncle, my old man is confused now, I will take charge of his affairs."

The clan leader of the Gu family nodded and said, "That should be the case."

In today's family division, Mrs. Gu deliberately sent old man Gu out. She didn't want to make the old man sad.

Mrs. Gu continued, "I thought about it yesterday. My old man and I will live with the second son in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the eldest son of the Gu family and the third son of the Gu family changed.

Especially for Gu Lao Da, although he didn't want to take care of his father who was confused in his old age, if he didn't even take care of his mother, then he, the eldest son, would probably be criticized in the village.

More importantly, if he didn't take care of his parents, he might not get the land for his parents' retirement, and he wouldn't even get any advantage in the division of the family property.

"Mom, you..."

Gu Lao Da was interrupted by the old lady as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I know it's not easy for both of you. You and your wife have three children, and the third son, his wife has a big family behind him." Old Lady Gu said.

She would not change her mind since she had made up her mind. At this point, she was very clear-headed. She naturally knew who among the three sons was truly filial.

After watching the farce of the eldest and third sons, the old lady felt sorry that these two unpromising things would hardly get much care from the second son in the future, but she was also a person of flesh and blood. The second son was willing to give up the family property in order to let her and his father enjoy their old age. She couldn't bear to let the second son's efforts go to waste.

"As for the shabby family property, land, and cash at home, divide them into four equal parts, one for each of the three houses, and one for me and your father." Old Lady Gu made the final decision and said the division plan she had thought of long ago.

Although Gu Mingda said that he didn't want anything, it was impossible for Old Lady Gu not to fight for him.

Gu Laoda's face was extremely ugly at this time. Since his parents wanted to live with Gu Mingda in their old age, after they died, this quarter of the family property would naturally be left to the second son.

Obviously, he was the eldest son and should have occupied the largest share of the family property, but now the person who got half of the family property was Gu Mingda.

Gu Mingda just passed the examination for a scholar, and it was the time when he was in the limelight. Gu Laoda's jealousy in his heart could hardly be concealed.

Clan leader Gu didn't pay much attention to the expressions of his two nephews, but agreed with Old Lady Gu at this time: "The way my sister-in-law divides the family is fair. If everyone has no other ideas, just divide it this way."

Gu Laoda looked back at his wife, and Chen Chunhua hurriedly winked at Uncle Chen.

Liu Erni was also hinting to her brother Liu Dashan.

The two brothers from her mother's family spoke at the same time.

But before they finished speaking, they were interrupted by a louder voice.

"I have other ideas." Gu Mingda said loudly.

The head of the Gu clan was very polite to Gu Mingda. After all, if you count carefully, there has not been a scholar in the Gu family for thirty or forty years.

"Since Mingda has an idea, then you speak first." The head of the Gu clan said in a gentle voice.

The eyes of the eldest brother of the Gu clan darkened. He felt that the clan leader's appearance was so flattering that it was almost dazzling. He thought that Gu Mingda had an opinion because he wanted to share more of the family property. At this time, his dissatisfaction with his brother had reached its peak.

Gu Mingda, as if he didn't see the unfriendly looks from his elder brother and third brother, took the initiative to say: "Uncle, mother, I went to school at the age of six, and I have been studying for 27 years."

"To be honest, I have been studying all these years and have almost never worked in the fields. Unlike my elder brother and third brother, they all followed their parents to work in the fields when they were teenagers. They never complained, but I feel very ashamed..."

"When my elder brother was fifteen years old, he sprained his ankle but didn't say a word. It was not until the wheat was harvested that we knew he was injured... When my third brother was sixteen years old..."

Listening to Gu Mingda's detailed account of the contributions and sufferings that the elder and third brothers had made to the family over the years, the two brothers' originally restless hearts gradually calmed down.

Gu Mingda sighed and said: "I have taken advantage of the family for so many years, and now I have passed the examination for a scholar. It is not good to continue to take advantage of the family. I don't want any of these family properties."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar immediately. Everyone present was surprised, but Mrs. Gu looked calm.

Whether Gu Mingda didn't want the family property was brought up by Mrs. Gu or Gu Mingda himself, the perception was very different.

After all, what he voluntarily gave up was real money and property. The old Gu family had been in business for many years, and the brick house he lived in now was worth twenty or thirty taels of silver.

What's more, the Gu family still has twelve acres of land.

An acre of land is worth about eight taels of silver, which is close to a hundred taels of silver.

The Gu family has sixty taels of silver in cash.

With a casual calculation, Gu Mingda gave up forty or fifty taels of silver on his face.

Mrs. Gu knew that her second son had made up his mind, but she still pointed it out deliberately:

"Second brother, although you have been studying these years, you are capable. Mom took stock last night and found that the money you gave to the family was more than forty taels. You buy it every few days. Meat once, you will also buy clothes for the whole family during the holidays. Even our tofu recipe was brought back by you. My parents did not support you in vain. "

Gu Mingda can be humble, but Mrs. Gu can't let others really think that her second son is a freeloader and look down on him.

Patriarch Gu and his two brothers-in-law were all shocked when they heard this. They knew that Gu Mingda was capable, but they didn't expect that he would be so successful.

No matter how hard and tiring farming is, you can't just grow forty taels of silver.

The Gu family's total wealth is sixty taels of silver, two-thirds of which was contributed by Gu Mingda!

Buying meat every now and then and buying clothes during the holidays are a big expense. It is said that Gu Mingda paid for the exam himself. At this time, they couldn't help but think about how good Gu Mingda can make money!

At this time, Uncle Chen frowned and looked at his sister Chen Chunhua with a puzzled look. His eyes were almost like asking directly: "Why don't you hug this brother who makes money and force the old lady to separate the family?"
