Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

However, Gu Sanhe proposed a sham division of the family property, separating the family members but not the households.

They were registered as one family and their corvée labor remained the same, but they lived separately because he didn't want to live with the eldest brother's family.

She didn't want Gu Dajiang to take advantage of her anymore.

Gu Dajiang refused to admit that he had taken advantage of Gu Sanhe, and argued, "That belongs to the public, not just you."

After his parents passed away, he received the lion's share when they divided the family property.

Shen Yun patted his arm, signaling him to stop talking, because she was afraid that the third brother might really be going to separate.

That means all four hundred copper coins a month are gone.

The family's income will drop significantly.

Gu Dajiang pursed his lips and kept quiet.

Old Man Gu was taken aback by the words "separate family property." Gu Mai helped him sit down on a stool, and he looked at Gu Sanhe with a complicated expression, earnestly saying, "Separating the family property is not worthwhile."

Eating and drinking together can save money.

"I'll have your older brother apologize to Aqi and promise he won't even consider hitting her again, okay?"

Li Ling remained silent, as did Gu Sanhe. What was the use of an apology, and they wouldn't believe any promises anyway.

Old Gu slammed his fist on the table in anger. Gu Mai sat to the side without saying a word. She noticed that Li Ling glanced at Wang Erhua and Zhou Xing.

"Third brother, dividing the family property isn't something you can decide alone. Second brother and fourth brother also disagree?"

Gu Ershui and Gu Sihai did disagree, as dividing the family property would harm their interests.

Gu Ershui stepped forward, a hint of guilt on his face: "Third brother, I... I'll keep an eye on eldest brother for you, okay?"

He followed his older brother wherever he went, never giving his brother a chance to be alone.

Gu Sihai shared the same idea.

Li Ling stepped forward, her expression softening, and said, "I know that if we separate the family, it would be a waste of copper coins to cook and eat separately."

"Therefore, let's each take a step back."

She glanced coldly at Gu Dajiang, then looked gently at Wang Erhua and Zhou Xing.

"We're separating the family but not the households, but our family and my eldest brother's family must be separate. Sanhe and I are worried about him."

"But my second sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law, we can still eat and work together, just like before."

They simply excluded Gu Dajiang's family.

Gu Sanhe stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Ling: "I'm willing to take a step back."

"I'm also willing to hand over a portion of my household expenses."

Shen Yun and Gu Dajiang said coldly, "I disagree." They tried to persuade the second and fourth brothers.

Wang Erhua and Zhou Xing, along with Gu Ershui and Gu Sihai, were all intrigued and wanted to know how the collaboration would work.

The three families began planning in front of Gu Dajiang and Old Man Gu, completely oblivious to the dark expressions on the two men's faces.

Old Gu was about to speak again when Gu Mai stopped him.

In the end, the three families decided that after the division of the family property, they would come together again, with the second and fourth sons not only managing their own land but also managing Gu Sanhe's land.

In addition, a new communal fund was created, and the three families put their respective shares of money into the new communal fund, which was managed by Gu Mai.

Gu Sanhe pays four hundred copper coins every month. His family doesn't have to worry about household matters. In addition, he uses public funds to support Aqi's private school education.

All three families were satisfied.

Li Ling and Gu Sanhe only need to pay money, and they won't have to do any housework anymore. In addition, the family will support Aqi's education.

They made a profit compared to before.

Wang Erhua, Gu Ershui, Zhou Xing, and Gu Sihai felt that Gu Sanhe should still hand over 400 coins, since the family would have one less person to support in private school, and they would receive an extra 100 coins.

As for providing all the money to Aqi, that's fine too, since girls can't take the imperial examinations anyway.

It won't cost much.

Wang Erhua also expressed her guilt, saying that she felt embarrassed to take advantage of her younger siblings by washing their clothes.

Old Gu looked at Gu Mai with great interest in taking over the new deposit, his eyes filled with complex emotions. No wonder you didn't try to dissuade him; it turns out you've already taken the bait.

Only he knew nothing.

The dejected old man Gu didn't care about Gu Dajiang's reluctance; the other three families had clearly reached a consensus.

He can't very well embarrass himself by opposing the clan on his own.

Gu Dajiang's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't care about the pain in his feet. He pulled Gu Qing to ask Old Man Gu to invite the clan leader.

"Father, Dalang is a promising scholar who could change our social standing; you can't abandon him."

"Once Da Lang passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar, Father, our family will be in a completely different situation."

He envisioned the future, and Gu Qing also realized that his temper had subsided considerably. He obediently recited his lessons, demonstrating his ability to read.

Old Gu's heart slowly began to waver.

When Gu Qi returned home, the family property had already been divided. Even though the clan chief and the village head had come, the policy of dividing the family property but not the households was still implemented.

However, Old Man Gu used Gu Dajiang's position as the eldest son to ask for an extra 20% of the inheritance.

Gu Dajiang received 40%, while Gu Sanhe and the other two each received 20%.

The other two elderly people also separated; Old Man Gu went with Gu Dajiang's family, and Gu Mai went with Gu Sanhe's family.

Gu Sanhe knew that the clan chief and village head were unhappy with his proposal to divide the family property, so he had no objection to the unfair distribution.

He made it clear that he meant one thing: it wasn't that he was being unfilial, but rather that he wanted to protect his child from being bullied.

In response, the village head and the Gu family patriarch silently cursed Gu Dajiang a few times, blaming him for all of this.

After dividing the meat, before it got dark, Li Ling asked Gu Sanhe to buy a pound of meat so they could have a good meal.

night.

Old Man Gu was reluctant to part with Gu Mai.

"Old woman, why are you going to the third son's house? The eldest son is our eldest grandson."

Gu Mai closed her eyes: "I can't stand idiots." In the past, the boss acted very convincingly and could get along with people peacefully.

But now they're not even taking her words seriously, and the old lady can't stand it.

As for Changsun Guqing, well, she should probably focus on her own affairs.

Old Man Gu: "..."

He explained, "The boss has lost his mind; he said he'll correct it."

"oh."

Gu Mai agreed and went to sleep.

Whether to change it or not, let's talk about it after we've changed it.

The next day, Gu Sanhe built a mud wall up to their necks between the two families that had been divided up, and Gu Mai moved out to live in Gu Qing's original house.

Gu Qing moved into a newly assigned room.

The two families officially ate separately. Gu Dajiang told Gu Qing to study hard and pass the imperial examination to prove them wrong.

Gu Qi packed her new schoolbag, preparing to go to school tomorrow, when Gu Lan came over to tell her some good news: she would also be attending a private school temporarily.

The two were so happy that they wanted to sit together.

Gu Lan naturally agreed, but this time she came to see Gu Sanyue and Gu Siyue for something.

"Let's do soapberry business."

After yesterday's explanation that she should attend a private school first, Gu Lan realized that even if she spent the money she earned, others might not approve.

They felt that it was more valuable for the younger brother to go to the private school.

No matter how high the salary, she's the one who earned the money, so she should get the benefits first.

With the strong support of her nanny, Gu Lan finally got the opportunity to attend a private school. She wanted to embark on a different path, not putting all her eggs in one basket.

She had a way of adding fragrance to the soapberries, such as mint or osmanthus, which allowed her to sell them for two more coins than others.

When it comes to making money, no one is unwilling. Gu Sanyue and Gu Siyue's eyes lit up, and Gu Liuyue (Gu Erya) and Gu Qiyue (Gu Daya) also joined in.

Even Gu Eryue (Gu Wuya), who was two years older than Gu Qi, raised her hand to join in.

Gu Lan generously stated that they were all shareholders: Gu Qi provided the capital, Gu Lan provided the recipe, and the others provided the labor for making and selling the products.

The soapberry business began.

Gu Qi's time at the private school was enjoyable; she was intelligent and could remember everything that Master Gu taught her.

January passed by in a flash.

The private school is closed for two days.

Li Ling planned to take Gu Qi to Grandma Feng's house to get to know her better; they couldn't just go whenever Gu Qi asked a question.

It appears utilitarian.

Gu Lan plans to go to town with Gu Qiyue and Gu Liuyue to develop the soapberry business.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

Ten kilometers outside Xing County, a group of people claiming to be a caravan were busy making their way.

"Master, we will arrive in Yun County today," Mei Hua reported.

"it is good."

Luo Sheng wondered: how would she meet her destined one? She asked Du An, who said that his cultivation was too shallow to know.

"Fate, oh fate, come find me quickly," she thought.

Gu Qi: Here we come.
