83 Protective
With the division, Liu Shan would be giving up his share with Big Wu.
In the past, Big Wu would not have agreed, but she was in a hurry to get rid of the debt of 48 taels of silver and did not say a word.
Liu Shan continued, “Our family has a total of five acres of land. The two acres of land in the east are yours.”
Liu An opened his mouth. Those were the most fertile pieces of land.
Madam He glared at him and told him not to speak. Otherwise, if they ruined the separation, who would pay the debt?
Liu Shan continued, “I’ve given you the best land, so we won’t split the house. If you really don’t have a place to stay, clean up the ancestral house beside the fish pond and live there.”
This was equivalent to giving the ancestral house to the eldest branch.
Liu Shan said, “What’s there to be dissatisfied about? Take advantage of the fact that the village head and the villagers are here and quickly raise it. It won’t be useful to raise it after the division.”
“No, thank you, Dad.” Liu Ping and Little Wu kowtowed to Liu Shan and Big Wu.
They didn’t expect to get so much. They thought they would be kicked out and wouldn’t be able to take a single copper and were prepared for the worst.
Little Wu understood that if it weren’t for Fat Lass Su today, they really wouldn’t even get half a copper coin.
The next step was to write the documents and move. Su Xiaoxiao was a bully, so she naturally couldn’t stay and help Little Wu. That would ruin her persona.
However, just as she turned to leave, she was stopped by the village head.
“Da Ya, I remember that your husband can write. Can you ask him to help us write the document?”
The separation of the family was not just a few empty words. The transfer of land and house had to be accounted to the government office. Moreover, the details of how to split the family had to be written down in black and white to prevent future entanglements.
“Alright,” Su Xiaoxiao agreed generously. “Our Su family will do Village Head this honor!”
The village head was relieved!
Su Xiaoxiao went to Wei Ting to tell him about the successful separation of the Liu family’s first branch, mainly to show off her wisdom.
She sat opposite Wei Ting and rested her elbows on the table. She rested her chin on her hands and said proudly, “How is it? Am I powerful? I told you this method would work!”
She was referring to the use of fake IOUs to facilitate the separation.
Wei Ting chuckled and said, “You can only scare these countryside people. If you really take it to the government office to compare your handprints, you will expose yourself.”
Su Xiaoxiao snorted. “I’m betting that they won’t go to the government office!”
What a joke. She had even brought Shen Chuan up. Which villager would think that she was lying?
The villagers did not have a strong legal sense. If they really wanted to verify it, they would have to go to Shen Chuan to verify it. Shen Chuan would definitely not expose her!
Wei Ting took a pen and paper and began to write down the details of the separation.
He had never met such a woman. She didn’t care about her reputation at all. It seemed fine no matter how others scolded her. If they called her a bully, she would be a little bully.
She was still so... smug.
Was she stupid?
No, what happened today was definitely not a petty trick. She had read people’s hearts thoroughly. It was not an exaggeration to call her resourceful.
Wasn’t she stupid? She had the foolishness of a moth flying to the fire for the people beside her.
“Are you done? I’ll take it away if you’re done!” Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the document on the table and swung her head before leaving valiantly!
Not long after, the three children came to look for their father.
They wanted their father to write on their fingers.
Wei Ting looked at their wrapped fingers and his lips twitched.
Why did they have to learn everything that girl did?
Of course, he knew that the three brats were not injured. If they were injured, she would tell him.
“Write what?” he asked.
“We don’t know,” Xiaohu said.
Wei Ting thought for a moment and wrote their names on the gauze-Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.
The three of them shook their heads and left valiantly!
Wei Ting was speechless.
—
The people from the government office had gone back for the new year. The procedures would be done after the new year, but the document of the separation was clearly written. Under the witness of the village head, Liu Shan and Liu Ping signed their fingerprints.
This matter was considered settled.
After the commotion was over, the villagers dispersed.
Liu Ping and Little Wu were not infamous, but the Liu family suffered a lot of criticism. Liu Ping and Little Wu were the only ones who were not criticized for splitting up.
Big Wu and Madam He stared at Little Wu, afraid that she would take something else from home.
Little Wu couldn’t leave to thank Fatty Su, but she whispered to Liu Ping about Fatty Su’s help during this period.
Liu Ping was shocked. He had guessed what had happened today, but he did not expect that this was not the first time Fatty Su had helped them.
This was too... unbelievable.
That was Fatty Su!
A terrifying female bully!
Little Wu said, “Fatty is our benefactor. We must repay her well in the future.”
Liu Ping patted his chest. “Wife, don’t worry! I’ll repay her no matter what!”
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao did not know that Liu Ping, who looked ordinary, would really repay her kindness in the future.
Su Xiaoxiao was cutting cured meat in the kitchen. The three little ones surrounded the stove, each holding a piece of shiny cured meat and eating it in small bites.
She hummed a cheerful tune. The three little ones matched the rhythm and ate while swaying their heads left and right.
This scene was a little heartwarming.
Wei Ting had never seen the three brats so happy. They had lived in deep trouble since they were born. It was only after coming to the Su family that they seemed to have found peace.
Su Xiaoxiao looked up and met Wei Ting’s gaze.
She was about to tease Wei Ting when he spoke first. “It’s just helping someone split up. Why are you so happy?”
Su Xiaoxiao snorted and continued to cut vegetables. “What do you know? I’m helping my employees solve their worries!”
She would protect her employees!
Who dared to bully them? No way!
After a pause, Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and said, “Why are you in the kitchen? You’ve been hanging around me a little too often recently. Wei Ting, don’t tell me you really like me?”
