The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

"You're talking nonsense. We don't keep any account books. Five yuan is the most we've given Jiang Gou Dan. Don't even think about giving him anything more."

Grandma Jiang panicked and hurriedly covered her pocket.

Jiang Yuyan ignored her and looked at the captain instead.

The captain looked embarrassed. "Old Jiang's family, Comrade Jiang is right. If your Old Jiang family wants to sever ties with Gou Dan's family, then you definitely need to settle things clearly."

Before Old Lady Jiang could speak, Xia Hong stepped forward and stopped the brigade leader.

"Captain, how can you listen to a little girl? It's one thing for her to be an outsider and not know about the Jiang family, but surely you, Captain, know them?"

She looked directly at Jiang Yuyan and said clearly, word by word, "Our Jiang family has nothing but these pots and pans. Let alone any savings."

"She's just a money-loser, what does she know?" Xia Hong completely disregarded Jiang Yuyan and ignored her words.

Hu Yeqi pointed at Xia Hong and questioned, "You said your family had no money, so how did your family get money to buy food for you? How did your family get money to bring you meat?"

"Heh, second sister-in-law, get this straight. The past is the past, and the present is the present."

You wouldn't know unless you went out and saw it for yourself. Everywhere is free. It's true that Guangbao in my family has a permanent job, but the factory's efficiency has been poor in recent years, and wages have decreased.

Hu Ye didn't believe her nonsense, but couldn't find any evidence to prove that her family was rich.

Jiang Yuyan held her hand, signaling her not to get agitated.

She ignored Xia Hong and looked at Old Lady Jiang, confirming with her again.

"Grandma, are you sure the Jiang family has no savings left besides pots and pans?"

Without hesitation, Old Lady Jiang nodded, "Absolutely, definitely not!"

Jiang Yuyan then looked at the brigade leader, "Brigade leader, you heard what they just said, so please give me the certificate, Grandma, give me the Jiang family's household registration book."

Old Mrs. Jiang was wary. "What do you need the household registration book for? Why should I give it to you?"

"I'll go to the bank to report the loss of my passbook. Grandma doesn't think that with today's technology, she can just say she has no money and suddenly she doesn't, does she?"

Looking at everyone in the Jiang family, she slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"I not only reported my grandmother's lost property, but I also reported my uncles' property lost. I believe that, except for a few who really don't have the money, I should be able to get it back—"

"Wait a minute!" Old Mrs. Jiang was having difficulty breathing, feeling a bit dizzy, and her vision was blurring.

She never expected that the girl from the second son's family would be so ruthless and capable of such cruelty.

If we let her do that, I estimate that by tomorrow, everyone in the brigade will know how much savings Old Jiang's family has.

There was no way she would be allowed to investigate; she wouldn't even dare let anyone else take her household registration booklet anymore.

Old Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath and gave Jiang the Second a bitter smile.

"Second son, my poor child, I'm doing this for your own good. Your family is filled with cripples and criminals; do you want the Jiang family to perish with you all?"

Jiang Gou Dan, his face contorted in pain, gripped her hand and cried out in anguish.

"Mother, you are my mother, the grandmother of Mu Xuan and Mu Yi, why won't you give us a way to live?"

They could come back for just a few dollars, why won't you give them the money?

Old Mrs. Jiang felt a chill run down her spine. It was the first time she had ever heard her second son call her that, and it sent shivers down her spine.

Xia Hong was surprised that the old woman was so useless, so she quickly gave her third sister-in-law a look and pulled the old woman away.

"Second brother—"

Jiang Yuyan interrupted her, "Captain, I believe my grandmother has already decided on the rules for dividing the family property."

Please, Captain, help us and handle this as soon as possible. Our family needs to go to the hospital; time is of the essence. Please forgive us.

Xia Hong gritted her teeth. This brat's mouth is so sharp, she doesn't give her any room for error and shuts her up completely.

The captain decisively called over a few people, ignoring the rest of Old Jiang's family, and they checked all the items one by one.

As for the money and tickets, Jiang Yuyan glanced at the evasive old woman, Jiang.

One glance was enough to make Old Granny Jiang, who had originally intended to shirk her responsibilities, tremble. Thinking of this young man's ruthless attitude, she dared not utter another word. She went back to her room, fiddled with it for a while, and took out a broken iron box.

"All of Old Jiang's money and banknotes are here, but my three sons, including myself and my husband, make a total of five shares, with only the second son receiving one share."

The brigade leader and Jiang Yuyan personally went into the house to count the money and tickets. After counting them one by one, they came out with a stack of money and tickets, which belonged to Jiang Lao Er's family.

"A total of 351 yuan, plus some loose tickets, from Gou Dan's place, here you go."

Hu Ye held a stack of banknotes, his hands trembling, yet he gripped them tightly.

With this money, Mu Xuan and Mu Yi can be saved.

The rest was handled by Jiang Yuyan and her father, who guided him step by step to sign and seal the documents, which calmed the bewildered Jiang Gou Dan down.

In less than half an hour, the separation and severance of ties between the Jiang family and the Jiang Gou Dan family were completed.

Jiang Gou Dan held the severance agreement, tears streaming down his face—tears of pain, confusion, and joy.

Old Mrs. Jiang was heartbroken at the thought of losing so much money. Now she couldn't stand anything about her second son's family and would start cursing at the drop of a hat.

"Second brother's family, you are no longer part of the Jiang family. Pack your things and get out of here. You're all unlucky bastards."

"Comrade Jiang, you don't need to tell me, that's what I was thinking too. I'll take my parents to pack their things now."

After Jiang Yuyan finished speaking, before she could react, she led her parents into the house to pack their things.

The Jiang family of five lived in the two smallest rooms of Old Jiang's house, which were low, small, dark, and without any light.

Upon entering the house, Hu Ye looked at her somewhat helplessly, afraid that her daughter would find it distasteful. "Yu Yan, this, this..."

Jiang Yuyan glanced around and saw nothing but a thin quilt and a small wardrobe.

"Let's pack our things first, then we'll go ask the team leader if there are any other houses we can stay in in the village."

Hu Ye and her husband nodded, doing whatever she said without thinking, completely trusting their daughter whom they were meeting for the first time.

After packing, there were two large packages and three bowls, but no basin. Old Jiang's family said they only had one basin and couldn't give it to them.

Jiang Gou Dan and Hu Ye left Old Jiang's house with their bundles, feeling lost and helpless, wondering what would become of their family and how they would survive.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuyan stopped and looked at the two who were standing still.

They snapped out of their daze and quickly caught up. "It's alright, it's alright. By the way, Nannan, where are we going now? Your eldest brother is still in the hospital, and only your third brother is looking after him."

Jiang Yuyan nodded, "Go find the captain, find a place to stay as soon as possible, put your things down, and then go to the hospital to find our older brother together."

As soon as the captain saw them, he knew why they had come.

"Dog Egg, as you know, apart from that dilapidated house at the end of the village that no one dares to live in, there are no other houses in the village that can be vacated for your family."

Jiang Yuyan asked, puzzled, "Captain, is there something wrong with that house?"
