Chapter 410: Don’t Want to Split Up

"In theory, she is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Now that the eldest brother is gone, it is your second branch that should be the steward of the household on his behalf. You should have a share of the first branch's land."

The patriarch made some sense in this way.

These words are in line with what Mr. Gu is thinking.

So Mr. Gu hurriedly asked someone to call Gu Dahan over.

Gu Dahan was preparing cotton seeds at home. When he heard the old man calling him over, he thought something had happened.

"Dahan, I heard that you bought the fifty acres of land at the foot of the West Mountain?" Old Man Gu asked Gu Dahan.

Fifty acres of land!

Everyone knows that the fifty acres of land at the foot of the West Mountain is the most fertile land in the village, and it actually fell into the pocket of the eldest son.

When Gu Dahan saw that Mr. Gu asked him about something, he had nothing to hide and couldn't hide it, so he nodded.

Mr. Gu asked, "Who owns the fifty acres of land now?"

Gu Dahan said honestly: "It's under my mother's name."

Old Lady Gu directed Xiaoxue to bring in water. After hearing this, she clapped her hands and cursed, "This vicious woman, I knew she had bad intentions. She put all the things in her own name. I think she just wanted a man. Dahan, you worked so hard to take care of the land, but she didn't even mention putting the land in your name. I thought she had changed her ways. It's not that easy."

Old Master Gu was also dissatisfied. His eldest daughter-in-law was becoming more and more excessive. Every family's property was under the name of their husband. After their husband died, the property would definitely be under the name of their son.

The eldest daughter-in-law's behavior is unorthodox.

Old Lady Gu scolded Tong Huaqiong, and Gu Dahan was not satisfied. He said with a cold face, "I didn't even know that my own mother took the initiative to cheat on her son. She would not let him go even if she died. Grandma, you'd better not say this in the future. People outside will only laugh at you and Grandpa if they know. And the fifty acres of land at the foot of the West Mountain was bought by mother. If not in her name, whose name should it be in?"

"Listen, everyone says you're honest and dumb, why are you so hard at protecting Tong Da Jiao... You bastard, have you forgotten how she treated you in the past..."

Old Lady Gu was so angry that she scolded Gu Dahan, saying that Gu Dahan was stupid and that he was suppressed by Tong Huaqiong like a clay man...

"You asked me to come here just to ask about the land at the foot of the West Mountain? If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I still have work to do."

After all, she was his own grandmother. When Old Lady Gu scolded Gu Dahan, Gu Dahan, as her grandson, did not refute but just listened and left after listening.

Old Man Gu stopped Gu Dahan and said, "These fifty acres of land are in your stepmother's name to protect you. In the future, this land will be used for Dashu and Jingzhe. But you are a fool. When others give you a little sweetness, you will be so stubborn that you won't fight for it."

Gu Dahan felt that Grandpa Gu was overthinking it, and said, "Mom said long ago that the family property will be divided equally in the future, including Taohua and Maner. Grandpa, you don't have to worry about it."

"Who are you trying to fool? Everyone can say nice things. Sooner or later, she will pass our Gu family's property to her brothers and nephews from her mother's side. Do you believe that she will divide it equally between you? Otherwise, why would the daughter of the Tong family live in your house after the divorce?" said Old Man Gu.

Gu Dahan said: "My mother has cut off ties with the Tong family. Pan Di's sister is not living in my house for nothing. She works for my family and earns a living with her own hands."

Old Man Gu is very disappointed with Gu Dahan.

This grandson is a blockhead and he does whatever his stepmother says.

Gu Ruinian looked down on Gu Dahan, a farmer who only knew how to farm. If he wasn't still useful, he really wouldn't want to bother with him.

Why did the grandfather say so many things in a roundabout way? It would be better to give him a heavy blow, so he said, "Brother Dahan, what grandpa means is that you are the eldest son of the eldest house, and you should be in charge of the family property. After all, the eldest son has greater responsibilities. Auntie has been holding the land tightly in her hands until now, because she doesn't trust you, the eldest son. But after all, you are not her biological son, so it is understandable that Auntie does this. But you can't be led by the nose. You have a wife and a son, and Sister Sufen is about to give you another son. You have to think about the child. Before we were away, you didn't dare to speak out if you had any grievances. Now that we are back, we will always stand by your side. Don't worry, if you want to fight for anything, the clan will make the decision for you, and will definitely not let Auntie wrong you."

Gu Dahan felt very strange. What did his affairs have to do with Gu Ruinian?

He hasn't had much contact with this cousin since he came back, but he comes to his house every few days.

Sometimes he ran to the pigpen, sometimes he ran to look for Gu Jingzhe, jumping up and down with bad intentions.

Now he is starting to sow discord between him and his stepmother.

Gu Dahan said to Gu Ruinian with a frown, "Ruinian, you said that the eldest son of the eldest house should control the family property, then why did grandpa give the land and silver to my second uncle and not to my father? Don't say that my father is gone, the family property was given to my second uncle when my father was still alive. Ruinian, what do you think?"

"Brother Dahan, it's like this... my father needed money for his business, and he promised grandfather that he would help uncle when he made money. It's not that uncle didn't wait..." Gu Ruinian explained hesitantly.

Gu Ruinian didn't expect that Gu Dahan would seize the loophole in his words.

The first thing he thought of was that his cousin had been so foolishly influenced by his aunt's PUA that he didn't even know how to fight for the benefits in front of him.

He also wanted to use Gu Dahan as a breakthrough point to cause a fight among the people in the first branch of the family.

Now it seems that this cousin is indeed a fool in the eyes of our grandparents.

"Ruinian, I don't blame you for being young and ignorant. When I was suffering in the past, my grandfather and the clan never helped me. Now your aunt is very good to me, but you are instigating my grandfather and the clan to help me. Do you want me to split up? I don't want to split up. I am quite satisfied managing the family land and pig farm. You have been away for the past few years and are not familiar with my family affairs. Don't make random guesses based on what others say. I am living a good life."

Gu Dahan's words seemed to be meant to educate Gu Ruinian.

Gu Ruinian was quite dissatisfied with being educated by his eldest cousin who was nominally a farmer from the Gu Dynasty.

He actually underestimated Gu Dahan.

I thought he was a simple-minded and reckless man who would take the bait easily.

Old Man Gu came to Gu Ruinian's rescue and said, "Dahan, how can you say that? Ruinian and you are brothers with the same surname. He is doing this for your benefit. You should not be ignorant of his kindness."

Gu Dahan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Originally, Grandpa Gu thought that if the eldest son's land was under Gu Dahan's name, he could ask Gu Dahan to give him ten acres of land.

It would be difficult if the land is under the name of the daughter-in-law.

Mr. Gu asked again, "Dahan, I heard that your land has been rented out to other families in the village."

Gu Dahan said, "Yes. I can't cultivate all the land by myself, so I kept 30 acres of land and rented the rest to villagers and paid rent every year."

Grandpa Gu sighed, wiped his eyes, and said, "Dahan, now that your second uncle and his family are back, you know that this family needs food and drink, and we need land to survive in the village. After much persuasion, Daqiang is willing to return three acres of land to us first, but it is not enough for a family of more than ten people. Grandpa only asks you for one thing, rent a few acres of your land to me. Your land is still rented out if you rent it out to others, so why not rent it to me and I will pay you rent according to the market price."

Gu Dahan looked embarrassed.

Mr. Gu said, "Of course I'm not asking you to agree to it right now. Go home and discuss it with your stepmother. Since you said your stepmother treats you very well now, I'm sure she will give you this face."

Old Man Gu put moral pressure on Gu Dahan.
