Chapter 116 The Last Wish of Father and Daughter in the 50s 6
There were four brothers in Old Man Gu’s generation, and he was the fourth oldest, so everyone was used to calling him Gu Laosi.
Their family became the first in the village to split up while the parents were still alive. Gu Laosi was unwilling at first and felt it was shameful, but Aunt Gu Si persuaded him.
It’s better to be embarrassed now than to become enemies with your brothers later, right?
Come to think of it, I'm going to lose face at some point anyway, so I might as well do it in a smaller way.
Since it was divided, it was impossible to give it to Gu Xiaobao alone, so it was just divided all at once.
All the belongings in the house were divided into six parts, one part for each room of the five brothers and one part for the old couple. Now that they can still work on their own, they don't live with their sons.
"When your mother and I get old, you five brothers will take turns to take care of us."
Gu Laoliu said, "You don't have to divide my share, just give it all to my parents."
Fourth Aunt Gu stepped forward and held him back, "Xiaobao? Don't be angry. How are you going to live if you don't have anything?"
"Mom, don't worry, I can survive even if I have nothing."
Compared to Aunt Gu's anxiety, Old Fourth Gu was quite calm. He had made up his mind. People are biased, and he did not deny that he was partial to his youngest son.
"Since Xiaobao doesn't want a share of the family property, he will be left with nothing, and he won't have to support us two old people in the future."
I will give him some subsidies quietly later. Now let his brothers see that Xiaobao doesn't take advantage of his family, and they have no reason to ask him for anything else.
If the four of us brothers quit, we can leave the house with nothing, but we cannot neglect our parents. Our parents belong to everyone, so why should we kick Gu Xiaobao out?
The eldest brother Gu was the first to object, "Are you going to sever ties with your sixth brother? If you are not severing ties, isn't it his responsibility to provide for you in your old age?"
Gu Laosi looked at his sons with a serious gaze and said something they did not expect, "Then sever ties. Aren't you just afraid that he will come and take advantage of you because he has difficulty walking? Then give him that thought."
Crowd: Hiss~Isn’t this a bit too serious?
After being married for decades, Aunt Gu knew what her husband was planning. This could be considered as cutting off the way for the other four sons to take advantage of the youngest son.
The five brothers were dumbfounded. Big Brother Gu’s original intention was not to drive Gu Xiaobao away. He wanted him to take responsibility for his elderly care. Why didn’t the old man follow the routine?
Gu Erbao opened his mouth but really didn't know what to say, so he just shut up. Judging from Gu Xiaobao's current situation, he was a burden, and it would be good if they could be cut off completely.
Gu Laosi was too lazy to look at their faces as they all had their own concerns, so he asked the village chief to help him write the documents for dividing the family and the certificate for severing relations. He also asked several of his brothers to be witnesses, and they all signed on them.
The family was considered to be divided. Although the four brothers of the Gu family had also separated, they still lived together. Only Gu Laoliu took the separation documents and the certificate of severance of relations, took his only property, his fat daughter, and left the old Gu family without hesitation.
It’s not appropriate to give Gu Xiaobao’s money to the old couple now. I’ll wait until everyone has left and find a suitable opportunity to give it to them.
The village chief caught up with Gu Laoliu and said, "Xiaobao, if you and your daughter don't mind, you can move into Old Man Zheng's stone house first. He passed away two years ago, and there's not much people at home. The house has been abandoned, and no one else is willing to live there. You...?"
What he didn't finish was asking, are you afraid?
"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief. We are not afraid. Uncle Zheng died of old age, not suddenly. There is nothing to be afraid of. Even if he died suddenly, it is not clear who is afraid of whom."
Not to mention that Gu Laoliu is not afraid, even the original owner Gu Xiaobao would not be afraid. He is a man who has experienced the baptism of blood. He has righteousness, but also evil spirit. If there really is a ghost, it will retreat when seeing him.
The village chief was thinking of this and slapped his forehead with amusement, "Look at my memory, I'm old and I don't remember anything."
The father and daughter followed the village chief and walked for five or six minutes before they reached the stone house, which was also on the hillside, higher than the old Gu family’s. This side was relatively desolate, so the view was particularly good.
This mountain is a rocky mountain and is not suitable for growing crops, so it has not been reclaimed for growing crops.
Standing in the yard of the stone house, you can see most of the village. It is already evening, and smoke is rising in the setting sun, it is peaceful and beautiful.
The water is as high as the mountain. In the backyard of the house, there is spring water that the original owner brought from the mountain using a bamboo pipe.
They wandered through so many dimensions, and this was the first time they saw a farmhouse with running water. Uncle Zheng was a man who understood life.
"It's too late. I'll go back first. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to the village to find me. I will do my best to help you if I can."
The village chief didn't stay for long. He gave a quick instruction and left quickly, as if he was very reluctant to leave this place.
Changan glanced around the room, "There's nothing wrong, what is he afraid of?"
"Maybe old people just like to imagine things?" This is just an ordinary house. What ghosts or weird things are there? Either someone is playing a deliberate prank, or someone may have gotten up at night and was dazzled by the sight.
"The straw mat on the roof needs to be replaced. Is there any space?"
"Really? Let's change it at night. I'm afraid it might scare people if I change it now."
Changan: She thinks it might be more scary if it were changed at night.
Anyone who sees a straw shed flying onto the roof by itself would be scared, right?
The stone house has two rooms side by side, a bedroom and a kitchen. The kitchen is divided into two areas: the stove and the dining area.
There was only a one-meter-two-wide wooden bed in the bedroom. Chang'an simply threw two cleaning talismans out, and the kitchen and bedroom became clean and tidy in an instant.
"Dad, how long are we going to stay here? If it's long, let's just lie down on the kang."
"The scenery is nice, stay a little longer. Besides, there are other things to do. This is another sieve plane. Those who have traveled through time, been reborn, and are about to travel through time are all gathered together. Wait for them to come to your door. I'll go and fix that hole first."
Gu Laoliu took Chang'an into the space, put him down and went to do his own thing. Chang'an went to the orchard to create.
If they stay in this plane for a long time, they may have to experience the famine of the 1950s and 1960s again. This is the setting, and no novel can escape major historical events.
If we avoid it, then this topic will become a topic for discussion, which may cause a lot of history students to freak out.
However, they are not in the center of the drought in this plane, so they will not be affected too much. They can use the food in the space to accumulate virtue again, so that is not a problem.
It didn't take Gu Laoliu much effort to fill the hole and he was back in less than half an hour.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Gu Laoliu replaced the stone house with a thatched roof. As luck would have it, a villager who had gotten up at night saw him and scared him to death.
How scary is it to see the straw shed of a stone house on the mountain flying around in the middle of the night?
He screamed in horror, "Ah!!!" and his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The back half of the village was in chaos and it was very lively.
