Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Splitting Up (2)

There were also two paper cups and the remaining medicine that Gu Chengrui had hidden. She put them away in her interspace.

As for the people in the dining hall, they were eating and drinking as they should. No one came to greet them.

Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, looked out from time to time. She was looking concerned, guarding against Zhou Ying for fear that she would steal things from the house.

On the other hand, Gu Chengrui coughed non-stop when he came out of the door after catching a cold breeze. By the time he reached the family leader’s house, his face and neck were already red from coughing.

When the family leader saw this, he looked at him with disdain and asked them to sit down. He asked, “What’s the matter, coming here with you and your father?”

“Big brother, my third son wants to be separated. Please help me write a record.” Mr. Gu said.

Seeing this, the family leader looked at Gu Chengrui in dissatisfaction and said, “Chengrui, right? Your grandmother and parents are both still alive and well. It’s against the rules for you to suggest splitting up at this time. ”

“Uncle, please do it for your nephew.” Gu Chengrui raised his head and looked at him hesitantly. In the end, he sighed and shut his mouth.

However, he quickly turned his head and bent over to cover his mouth as he coughed non-stop. He coughed so violently that it was as if he wanted to cough out his lungs at any moment.

The family leader frowned. “Why didn’t you find a doctor to take a look at him? He’s coughing so much. Don’t drag it out any longer.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Gu only nodded nonchalantly and did not reply.

Gu Chengrui, on the other hand, had a bitter look on his face, but he had no intention of speaking.

The leader could tell from their reactions that something was amiss. In addition to the rumors that circulated in the village, he did not try to persuade them any further. Instead, he asked, “Have you discussed what to give your third son?”

“Just the things in his room.” Mr. Gu said vaguely.

After the family leader heard this, he looked at the father and son in surprise. However, seeing that Gu Chengrui had no intention of fighting for it, he was too lazy to care. He got up and returned to the room to take out some stationery and draft the documents for their separation.

At the end of his writing, he raised his head and asked the father and son, “Then what do you say about filial piety after the separation?”

“If he has some, then give some. If he doesn’t, then forget it.” Mr. Gu said.

Gu Chengrui heard his vague words and quickly said, “Although I didn’t get any of the family property, my father raised me, so I will give my dues according to the normal customs of the village.

“I will share the medical expenses with my second brother if my father is sick. But I will not be giving him the usual filial piety dues.

Of course, Mrs. Liu is an exception to this. ”

Although he and his girl didn’t have any assets on the surface, they were undoubtedly rich just from the things in the interspace. Also, it was only a matter of time before they became the wealthiest people in the region. He didn’t want them to latch themselves onto him in the future.

Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment, but then he looked away as if nothing had been said.

On the other hand, the family leader looked at Gu Chengrui and nodded in satisfaction. “That’s reasonable. But you can’t just stand by and watch if your father is sick and bedridden. ”

“I will.” Gu Chengrui nodded heavily.

After the family leader wrote this down, he made two copies. Then, the three signed and stamped their thumbprints, each holding one copy.

After leaving the family leader’s house, the father and son went to the village head’s house to talk about the household registration. This time, it was unknown whether Mr. Gu wanted to save face or was really that eager to get rid of them, but he took the initiative to pay the processing fee.

After Mr. Gu left, Gu Chengrui looked at the village chief and asked, “Grandpa Qian, is there any house in the village that I can rent?”

After a moment of hesitation, the village chief replied, “I don’t know about this. I’ll ask around for you later, but you have to pay more attention to it.”

“I’m sorry to trouble you.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he bowed and turned to leave.

Just as he arrived back at the Gu family, he met Zhou Ying, who was carrying a large bag and was driven out by Mrs. Liu.
