Chapter 161 Separation

There was even more resentment in the eyes of the two men when they looked at Su Xiaoyun. This bastard was so troublesome that he invited the village head and the elders here.

"this........"

Old Man Xu didn't know how to start, and Old Lady Xu shrank back, trying to reduce her presence.

Although she was usually domineering at home, she only did that to Xu Qingshan's family. She didn't dare to say a word in front of the village head and the elders, for fear of being scolded accidentally.

"You don't dare to say it, right? Since you dare to do it, why don't you dare to say it?"

The head of the village snorted coldly. This old man Xu was really cowardly. Normally, he was the one who had the final say at home, and he let his wife do whatever she wanted. Why was he silent now?

"Then Qingshan, you tell me about it."

He turned around and said something to Xu Qingshan.

The Xu family only has Xu Qingshan as a good bamboo shoot. This child is diligent and filial. Why don’t these two shortsighted people like him and cherish him?

They would not be willing to give up until this little bit of family affection is gone. If Xu Qingshan becomes cold towards them in the future, they will regret it.

Everyone in the village knows that the Xu family is a family that only knows how to cheat and cheat all day long, and only knows how to enjoy themselves without working.

No one in the village looked down on Xu Yao. She dressed like the rich girls in the town all day long, and even had her own clothes washed by Xu Lian.

Ugh!

Li Zheng looked at the people in the room and shook his head.

Xu Qingshan, who was called by name by the head of the village, paused slightly. He had been feeling a thousand grievances in his heart just now, but now that his name was suddenly called, he didn't know where to start.

He looked at Old Man Xu, Old Lady Xu and his eldest brother's family standing opposite him. They all looked at him with gritted teeth, and the momentary hesitation in his heart disappeared.

He turned his head to look at Su Xiaoyun who was standing next to him, looking at him with a worried look on her face, and Xu Lian who had slightly red eyes not far away.

He calmed himself down, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he turned to the head of the village and several elders and said softly, "Head of the village, and elders, I want to split up and live on my own."

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu stared at Xu Qingshan with their eyes wide open.

They never imagined that Xu Qingshan would actually bring up the matter of dividing the family in front of the village head and clan elders.

When there was trouble at home before, Xu Qingshan had mentioned it several times, but they always interfered with it and it ended up in nothing.

But now that the village head and clan elders are here, it's a different story. This rebellious son, whom we have raised to this age, now wants to split up the family.

Xu Wei, the eldest son of the Xu family, was the first to speak.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Our parents are still alive, so there is no reason for us to split up the family. If this gets out, people will laugh at us."

If we were to say which family in the Xu family is least willing to split up, it would probably be the eldest branch's family.

Whatever good things the Xu family has are given to the eldest wife's family, while most of the work in the fields and at home is done by the second wife's Xu Qingshan and Su Xiaoyun. If the family splits up, who will do these jobs in the future?

The head of the village and several elders also shook their heads. The Xu family had finally gotten to the point where they had to split up the family because of the incident.

But if it wasn't absolutely necessary, they wouldn't want the Xu family to split up. Splitting up the family at this time was not a decent thing to do, and it would be a laughing stock if it got out.

"Qingshan, you can't just say this casually. If you have any grievances, you can talk to us old guys and we will definitely take care of it for you."

The head of the village spoke to comfort him.

The head of the village also knew that Xu Qingshan's family must have suffered a lot of grievances in the Xu family, but the division of the family was no trivial matter, so if he could, he would still try to persuade them.

Xu Qingshan couldn't care less at this moment. If he endured it any longer, how would he be able to protect his wife and children in the future?

Xiaoyun has been with him for so many years and has suffered a lot of grievances. If he can't protect Xiaolian this time, how can he have the face to be Xiaolian and Xiaoyuan's father.

Xu Qingshan smiled with a hint of sadness and said with emotion:

"I believe the head of the village and the elders of the clan are aware of our family affairs. Xiaoyun and I usually think that being together as a family is more important than anything else. Even if my parents are partial to my eldest brother, I don't mind."

Xu Qingshan knew everything, but since they were his biological parents and elder brother, he always felt that he was at a disadvantage, and they still treated him as a family.

But he didn't expect that in the end he couldn't even protect his own daughter.

"This time, mother and sister-in-law actually planned to secretly marry Xiaolian to the Lin family..."

Xu Qingshan told everyone what happened today. Since they had already planned to split up the family, he could not hesitate about anything.

"Lin family? But the wealthy Lin family next door?"

The village head was slightly startled. He was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he stood up and confirmed with Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan nodded. There were many people with the surname Lin in the surrounding area, but there was only one family that could be considered wealthy.

"What's wrong with the Lin family? If you marry into the family, you can enjoy the happiness of being a young lady. This is a bargain for that girl Xiaolian."

Li murmured to herself with disdain, if the Lin family had not given so much betrothal gifts, Xu Lian might not have been able to have this good fortune.

Xu Qingshan has always had good hearing. When he heard Li's muttering, he sneered, "Enjoy the blessing. Do you want to let your Xu Yao enjoy it?"

Li knew very well what the Lin family was like. Now that things had come to this, they still showed no sign of repentance.

"I'm going to make this clear today. If Xu Yao marries into the Lin family, then this family can remain together."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao, who was standing in the corner of the room, was the first to scream, "What? That young master of the Lin family is a fool. I don't want to marry him!"

It was too late for Li to cover Xu Yao's mouth. She didn't expect Xu Qingshan to make this request in front of the village head and clan elders. Xu Yao didn't keep her composure at all.

Now that this has been said, there is no way to cover it up.

When the village head and the elders heard this, they were a little bit unconvinced at first, until Xu Yao shouted out the words, then they were sure that the Lin family that Xu Qingshan had just mentioned was definitely the family they were thinking of.

"You are the head of the family, tell me, is this true?"

The head of the village turned around and asked Old Man Xu, who had been silent on the side.

This is no small matter. It's bad enough that Old Lady Xu acts like a big shot in the Xu family on weekdays, but now she is even thinking of marrying her own granddaughter to such a family.

Old man Xu didn't stop him, how could this be tolerated?

Others in the Lin family may not know it, but don't these old men know it? The son of the Lin family is indeed not in his right mind. A while ago, news came out that the Lin family wanted to pay a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver.

Even so, no family would marry their daughter there, as anyone with eyes could see that it was a hell of a place.
