“Fatty Su, in your dreams!”
The person who spoke was Big Wu. She was the first to disagree if she wanted to touch their savings!
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “If you don’t want to hand over the savings, then use something valuable as payment.”
Something valuable?
Field? Land?
A farmer in the countryside would be living like rootless duckweed without farmland. Who would dare to give up these two things?
At this moment, the youngest daughter of the eldest branch came over crying.
She had just woken up when Big Meizi came out of the house.
“Mother.” She spread her small arms for her mother.
Little Wu hugged her daughter tightly.
Big Meizi came out to carry her sister, but her sister did not leave with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBig Wu’s eyes flashed as she said to Su Xiaoxiao, “We’ll sell these two girls to you!”
Everyone was dumbfounded. This old fellow was even selling her granddaughter for money!
Liu Ping was shocked. “Mother!”
Su Xiaoxiao said with disdain, “What’s the value of two girls? Why don’t you use your grandson to repay your debt? Niudan is fair and chubby. I’ll give take him for five taels as a neighbor!”
“You can’t sell my son!” Madam He screamed without thinking.
Niudan was not only the treasure of the second branch, but also the apple of Liu Shan and Big Wu’s eyes. Not to mention that Madam He did not agree, the two elders would not bear to part with him.
However, they had to use their savings, fields or Niudan to repay the debt.
To be precise, that would barely be enough to offset the interest. Even if they sold their entire family, they would not be able to gather 48 taels.
Madam He cried, “Dad! Mom! Let Big Brother split from the family! We don’t owe her! Why should we repay his debt!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Whoa, you make it sound like they didn’t earn money for the family or help you work.”
These words choked Madam He to death.
Liu Ping handed over all his salary to Big Wu. When Little Wu’s biological mother was sick, she was not even allowed to take an egg back to her parents.
Why couldn’t the entire family pay the debt that Liu Ping owed?
Auntie Liu gossiped and said, “Brother Ping, don’t split up. Let your family help pay it back!”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Have you thought about it? Are you going to pay them back together or are you going to split up?”
“Split up!” Madam He said. “Dad! Mom! If this family isn’t divided, Liu An and I won’t be able to live!”
Big Wu’s mouth moved.
She wanted to split up too.
She looked at the head of the family.
Liu Shan was in a difficult position. He was the one who had said that he would not agree to the separation, but Liu Ping owed so much. If he did not split the family, he had to fork out money for Liu Ping.
He did not want to take out the money, nor could he afford it.
Auntie Liu continued, “Uncle Liu, if there’s really no other way, split the family.”
There were two surnames in the village-Liu and Wu. These two surnames had the most people, but they were not related by blood.
Old Li glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and sighed. He said to Liu Shan, “Old Liu, you should split up. It’s difficult for you too.”
The development of the matter was really beyond the villagers’ expectations.
Liu Ping had suggested splitting up because he did not want to implicate his family. Because of this filial piety, no one dared to drown him!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other hand, the Liu family was a little inhumane. After all, Liu Ping was the eldest son in the family. Although it was wrong for him to owe money, he did not do it on purpose. Besides, he had given the family all the money he had earned over the years.
Shouldn’t his family take some out to repay his debt?
Liu Shan had a complicated expression. “Village Head...”
“Make your own decision.” As the village head spoke, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Daya, do me a favor. No matter who repays the debt, give them a few more days.”
Su Xiaoxiao said slowly, “The limit can be extended, but the interest can’t be reduced. It’s 1,280 coins a day!”
Big Wu’s temples throbbed. “Split... split!”
With so much debt, she would die!
Liu Shan looked at the second branch. “Do you guys agree to split up too?”
Madam He glanced at her man and gritted her teeth. “Split up!”
“Liu An?” Liu Shan asked his youngest son.
Liu An braced himself and said, “Since Big Brother and Sister-in-law insist on splitting, I have nothing to say.”
Liu Shan sighed. “Then please be a witness and split the family.”
He said to Liu Ping and Little Wu, “Your mother and I won’t touch our funeral savings. The rest will be divided into two portions. Your eldest and second branches will each take half.”
This method could be considered to have taken good care of the eldest branch. It was the rule that the funeral savings would not be touched, but the rest of the money was divided equally among the two elders.
