Nier brought the cup to her father's mouth. The third child was indeed thirsty, so he drank all the water in one breath.

Although they had eaten a few water chestnuts before, the child digested them after a few jumps. Ni'er and Niu Li sat on the kang, and their stomachs growled at the same time.

He quickly held his stomach and said, "Dad, we are not hungry. Let's save the food for Dad and Mom to eat and nourish your bodies."

The third brother touched Ni'er and Niu Li's heads and said, "Let's separate the family today. You don't have to go hungry anymore. Ni'er, go find the village head grandfather."

Nier was very happy that she finally achieved her goal. It would be much more convenient for her to do things after the family was divided. Besides, she had her own system, so her father and mother's illnesses should be no problem.

I quickly agreed and said, "I'll go right away."

She didn't dare to stop along the way. When she arrived at the village head's house, Ni'er looked out from outside the yard, "Is the village head grandpa home?"

The head of the village came out immediately after hearing the voice, and saw a small figure. He looked at it carefully and said, "It's the little girl from the Niu family. What do you want from me?"

Nier looked up and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, my father wants to invite you over. It seems that he wants to divide the family."

The head of the village was very clear about the situation of Old Lady Niu's family. He also heard today that Old Third Niu had broken his leg. This day has finally come.

I hurried to Old Lady Niu's house with Ni'er.

Before I even entered the house, I heard someone talking in the house, "Mom, let's divide the house today."

The old lady hurried out of the house, "I'm not dead yet, what do you mean, you are cursing me, you have no conscience, I just spent money on your wife's medical treatment, and you want to divide the family property, don't you want to pay back the money?"

The third brother took a few breaths and said, "Uncle Lizheng, I have asked Ni'er to invite him. I must divide this house today."

When the old lady heard this, she sat on the ground and started to rage, "How could I raise such an ungrateful person? You will be punished for treating me like this. Big brother and second brother, go and persuade him."

The whole family has gathered in the yard. The eldest and second sons are not very clear about the third son's condition. They just think that he just has a broken leg and just needs to rest for a few months. In case the family splits up, they will no longer be able to be lazy about farm work, and they are very anxious.

"Third brother, it's not that I don't want to treat your wife. We just can't afford the money. Don't hate me. You did treat the disease and bought the medicine. You said it yourself that we won't split up the family while I'm still here."

As soon as the eldest brother finished speaking, he winked at his younger brother, saying that the family could not survive without the third brother.

The second brother received the signal and continued to persuade:

"Brother is right. If we split up the family now, everyone in the village will laugh at us. It's inconvenient for you to move around now, and your sister-in-law has to stay in bed. You two should take care of your health first, and let's not talk about splitting up the family for now."

The head of the village coughed, and the whole family looked towards the door.

"Uncle Village Head, you're here~" Niu Laosan's voice came from the room.

"It's me. Xiaoni said that you guys are going to separate today, so I must be there."

When Mrs. Niu saw the head of the village coming, she stopped crying and quickly got up from the ground, "Head of the village, please help me persuade the third son that this family cannot be divided."

The head of the village raised his hand to signal Mrs. Niu to calm down. "The children have grown up and have their own ideas. Besides, Niu Lao San and his wife cannot move and must separate. If you don't agree, will someone bear a grudge against you in the future?"

The old lady didn't care about any grudges. After the family was divided, she had to give away her money and land. It would be better to take her life.

Ni'er looked at the people who had their own agenda, and thought that if they continued to stir up trouble, her father might soften his heart, so she stepped forward and said, "Grandma, uncle, second uncle, can you listen to me?"

The old lady saw a little girl who hadn't even grown all her hair yet wanted to get involved, so she shouted impatiently in Ni'er's direction: "Go play on the ground, little kid, you have nothing to do here."

The head of the village felt that this child was different from before. Her eyes were clear and her words and actions were organized. He stopped the old lady and said, "Listen to her."

Seeing that the highest official in the village had said so, the old lady had no right to stop it.

Nier said in a childish voice, "Grandma, uncle, second uncle, the doctor said that daddy can't do heavy work anymore, and mom's health is not good either. They don't want to be a burden to everyone. If they need medical treatment and medicine in the future, the money they have to spend will be quite a lot, so they decided to split up the family."

When the eldest and second sons heard that the most capable person in the family could no longer do heavy work and that all future responsibilities would fall on them and that they would have to share food to feed the third son's family, they immediately agreed to split up the family and no longer tried to stop it.

The old lady thought that what Ni'er said made sense. It cost so much money for just a casual medical consultation. If Niu Dan hadn't paid the consultation fee today, the money she had would not be enough. The third brother's family would be a bottomless pit in the future. Dividing the family now would only result in a loss of some money. If they didn't divide the family, all the money would be spent by them.

Thinking of this, I felt relieved, but there has never been a precedent of elderly people dividing the family in the village, so I still feel a little bothered.

The eldest son's wife has always been resentful of Ni'er and didn't let Fugui get too close to her, fearing that she would pass on her bad luck to her children and that she would bring bad luck to Fugui. This time, her previous thoughts were confirmed. Why not take advantage of this opportunity? This is the opportunity she has been waiting for for a long time.

Then he leaned close to the old lady's ear and said, "Mom, bad things always happen wherever Ni'er is. She has brought bad luck to my parents. What if she brings bad luck to you too~"

The old lady had the same question on the day Nier came back to life. This was not a lucky star at all. She was even more terrifying than before. They had to separate the family quickly without any further delay. If they stayed with her, they might lose their lives at any time.

This eldest daughter-in-law seems unreliable at ordinary times, but she can still say something at critical moments. It's not just that a dog can't spit out ivory.

The third child heard Ni'er talking to a group of people in the yard like a little adult, and felt sour in his heart. He was incompetent and forced the children to grow up early. His eyes became red, "Mom, please agree."

Yan Zi drank the medicine and is still in a coma, unaware of what is happening outside.

The old lady made up her mind and gritted her teeth, thinking that a short pain is worse than a long one. "Break up, break up now."

The village head saw that both parties had reached an agreement and said, "Let's go measure the land now, and also calculate the money and grain in the house. Old lady, you can't hide anything."

Hearing this, the old lady was not satisfied and pouted, but she couldn't say anything to the head of the village. She just rolled her eyes and said, "I'm sure he won't keep it to himself."

Niu Laoda and Niu Laoer followed the head of the village and a few young men from other families to the fields, and measured their own fields in no time.

The village head asked everyone what they thought: "This is the size of the field we just measured. There are nine acres in total. Because there are two acres of wasteland that have not been reclaimed, the fields allocated to those who get the wasteland will be slightly larger. Does anyone among you want the wasteland?"
