Chapter 317: Inventory

"Dean Qin, are you going back to retrieve your old wife's body"Qin Chongyan nodded. How could he allow the person who had accompanied him for a lifetime to be buried with filth even in deathHe already...Elder Zong was a bad person, Fang Jinshi had gotten used to being careful and wary when dealing with him. One careless mistake could land her in his trap.

The old man's smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a stiff and unnatural expression. He finally let out a cold snort.

"This is what you guys wanted, to split up the family. Quickly take them away."

Fang Jinshu and Wang Yaner looked at each other, then began to make demands.

Wang Yan'er stepped forward, "Grandfather, since we are dividing the family, we can't leave empty-handed, can we"

"What's the difference between this and forcing us out of our homes to die"

Zong Laotou's face darkened, and he instantly understood. So this dead girl was playing a trick on him!

Whenever it came to things in the house or money, Old Mrs. Wu reacted very quickly. She jumped out immediately and shouted.

"What This is what you guys wanted, to split up in the first place. What do you mean by us throwing you out to wait for death"

"Our family is so poor now, there's nothing left to give you!"

Wang Yanei had been married into the Zong family for more than a year, almost two years. She knew something about the family's wealth, but she didn't know the exact amount of silver and grain that Old Madam Wu had on hand.

But she still knows more about the family's land and properties.

"How come there's nothing left Doesn't the family still have four acres of prime farmland and five acres of wasteland"

"We also need some furniture, cabinets, pots and pans, you know, things to make our life easier."

When Old Mrs. Wu saw that Wang Yan'er dared to covet the family's farmland, she immediately glared and shouted.

"No! Who gave you the guts to even think about touching our family's fields"

Wang Yuer was still a little timid. When Wu Laotai shouted, she looked quite frightening. Wang Yuer couldn't help but take two steps back, and her words became stammered.

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly chimed in, “The family separation is about dividing the assets. It’s for our own descendants to establish their own households and branch out the family tree. Could it be that you still want to treat us like you did with the second house fifteen years ago, giving us nothing”

"What's the difference between this and letting them go out to die"

"If Grandma really can't bear to part with this property, then fine, you guys should just get Zong Hu a doctor. Since he stays here, you have to take care of him."

"To just leave someone on the ground to die without caring, what's the difference between that and murder!"

Fang Jinxiu's every word was sharp and merciless. Lady Wu couldn't hold her own and hurriedly retreated to her husband's side, looking at him.

"What are we going to do This girl is really good with words, she brings up murder in every conversation."

The old patriarch didn't know how to respond for a moment. They had deliberately acted helpless just now in order to get him to agree to the split of the family.

Since he's already spoken, if he now says he doesn't want to split up, it would be like slapping himself in the face.

But if they continue to insist on the separation, this little shrew will demand that he divide his property with them. Fang Jinshu, that wicked woman, is also fanning the flames from the sidelines.

The old patriarch was instantly in a panic, weighing the pros and cons, he felt that it was more worthwhile to divide the land.

The drought has parched the land these days. Even the fertile fields are now as dry and barren as wastelands.

Better than calculating with silver.

"Who said we weren't prepared to divide the property among you Don't listen to your mother's nonsense." The old patriarch, Zong, still tried to find an excuse for himself and pushed the blame onto Old Madam Wu.

Wang Yanei let out a breath, "Grandpa, we don't want the family silver. You just have to fairly divide our share of the property according to the village's rules for dividing families."

Village Head Wang is really good at handling family divisions. He's presided over many for families in the village.

Ten years ago when the second branch of the Zong family was forcibly driven out in the name of division, the situation was different from now.

Zong Jia died and grabbed Zong Lao Er by reading books, emptying the family fortune. Not only did he brazenly refuse to give them any share, but he also turned around and calculated an account, making Zong Yu's family owe them a lot of silver.

At that time, even Village Head Wang couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't interfere with other people's accounts books, and no one but Elder Zong and Mrs. Wu knew how much silver had been spent on Elder Zong's studies.

This time, he was determined to get some things for the Zong Hu couple. The two children were indeed unlucky.

Then let's follow the village customs. First, we'll count up the remaining possessions of your family.nowledging her presence at all.This is a matter for their family. To be honest, it's Hu Ailan who is the real outsider here. What right does she have to interfereMaster Zong was panting heavily, tempo...
