Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

In the afternoon, Ye Wenwu and his uncle and aunt walked towards his grandparents' house.

As for his cousins, they all went to work in the fields, or went out to see if there was any work to do. After all, there was not much work in the fields right now. The younger ones were all in school and did not come back at noon.

First, there is no school in the village, so we have to go to the public toilet or go to the next village where there is a school. Since it is far from home, we basically don’t come back to eat there at noon.

"How dare you guys come back? Didn't you say you didn't want this family anymore?"

The uncle, who was taking a cool under the eaves of his house, saw a group of people coming and stood up and asked loudly.

This is also what his mother told him at noon. The reason why his elder brother and second brother wanted to separate from the family is that they don’t want to work anymore. If they separate from the family, they will have to do all the housework by themselves. So now he hates his elder brother and second brother.

The grandparents in the house also heard their little son's cry and hurried out.

"You bunch of ungrateful bastards actually dared to come back, didn't you? I tell you, none of your families will have anything to eat tonight, so just go hungry."

Grandma Liu Xiaocui said fiercely, and then she remembered something?

"Also, did you two bring back the things you two brought out last night? Why don't you bring them to us now?"

Ye Wenwu looked at the three people and burst out laughing.

Who gave them such courage? Didn't they see the current situation clearly? They still naively thought that their people would listen to them.

"Youheng, what are you doing? Why are you blocking your own son, daughter-in-law, and grandson from entering?"

The village chief Zhang Yourong also brought a group of people from the village committee to the door of my grandparents' house. He was surprised to see that his uncle's people did not go in.

The village secretary, village head, chief accountant, and several team leaders all came. Everyone looked unhappy. After all, the whole village was surnamed Zhang, and it could be said that it was passed down from generation to generation. Normally, everyone knew what was going on in Zhang Youheng's family, but no one wanted to do anything. They were all neighbors and relatives.

Now the eldest and second sons are going to separate from their father. Scorpion is the only one in the whole Zhangjiazhuang who poops like that. Whenever he comes here, his face is livid.

I didn't expect that before I even entered, I saw a lively scene at the gate of the courtyard. Moreover, those who could serve as village officials in the village were all elders, and were at least of the same generation as Zhang Youheng.

Moreover, Zhang Youheng is the youngest in the family, and naturally the youngest among his peers. Anyone can teach him a lesson if they say something unpleasant.

"Uncle"

Mai Gong Zhang Youheng did not expect that all the people from the village committee would come. Then he looked at his eldest son's side and he could not help but guess that it must be his eldest son who ran to his eldest brother's house.

However, it is difficult to easily judge family affairs. This matter is their own family matter anyway. Even if the village committee intervenes, so what? As long as they insist on not dividing the family, it will be fine. However, today's face has fallen to the ground.

Grandpa Zhang Youheng gritted his teeth and walked over. He couldn't put on airs in front of these people, so he took off the bolt of the gate from the inside.

A group of people walked in like this. However, no one went into the house, but found a place to sit in the yard.

"Youheng, my nephew came to me today and said he wanted to split up the family business, and I saw that he had made up his mind. I want to know what you think. Now everyone is here to bear witness so that we can talk."

This matter is their Zhang family's business anyway, but there are also differences in closeness. On the way here, the village secretary had already told the village chief that this matter was their village chief's family, and it would be best for his uncle, the village chief, to speak about it, so as to avoid irritating Zhang Youheng's family.

"Brother, this family cannot be divided. I will not agree. Look at our Zhangjiazhuang. There is no such thing as a family division. If the family is divided, how can I, Zhang Youheng, face people in this village?"

Grandpa Zhang Youheng refuted with just one sentence, without even thinking.

Grandma Liu Xiaocui also cheered on the side:

"Yes, this family cannot be divided. We cannot support these two ungrateful bastards for nothing. It is ours, ours to use, ours to live in, and in the end they want to divide our family. Where can we go to seek justice?"

"Mom and Dad, check your conscience. I have never been lazy since I was a child. You asked me to drop out of school, so I did. I know I am the eldest son in the family and I need to do the housework. I have never complained or argued about anything."

"Although you have always loved and favored my younger brother, my second brother and third sister were very jealous, but they gave up after my persuasion. So many years have passed, but we are the ones who have suffered the most, done the most work, and eaten the least."

"And last night you asked my two brothers to go out and do something. Because it was too late and we couldn't make it back in time, we rushed back in the morning, but what did we wait for? There wasn't even a bowl of hot rice at home. I was still trying to justify myself, maybe you, mom and dad, didn't know we were back at this time."

"But, I asked Wenjing to go to my house and get some corn paste to fill her stomach, and what did mom do? She came over and kicked the table over. You believed mom's slander and hit me on the head with a stick without giving me, your eldest son, a chance to explain. I really don't understand whether we are your children or not."

"All the delicious food at home is for my fourth brother's family. My brother's children and I are drooling at the sight of a piece of candy, but my fourth brother's children can eat one and spit it out. To be honest, I am tired of my parents."

"you you you..."

Grandma Liu Xiaocui kept calling out "you, you, you" but couldn't say anything else. She just managed to say something.

"Zhang Liguo, Zhang Lijun, don't you forget who raised you with all your might? Now you've grown up and become strong, right?"

But this time, my uncle was really determined. He turned his head to the village secretary, village head, and accountant and said:

"You are all my elders. To be honest, I am the eldest son in the family. According to the rules of our village, I can inherit everything in the family. But when I proposed to divide the family today, my mother said that it was all my fourth brother. I think my mother was sincere and did not lie to my two brothers. So I can give up the house, but my two brothers must take this year's grain quota and the family land."
