The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 73 - Get out once you separate (1)_1

“What’s there to discuss!?

We want none of Old Pei’s House’s property; we simply ask for a separation!

If you are unwilling to lend us these two rooms, that’s also fine.

But the last three conditions must be fulfilled!” Pei Qin snorted coldly.

Seeing Pei Lizheng nod as if he agreed with Pei Qin, and knowing also that he couldn’t oppose the annulment of Jian Xiao, Pei Houli changed his angle and said, “After the separation, you and mother will have no means to support a household.

As for Jian Xiao, since it was previously settled, then it is my responsibility to look after you all from now on.

Should any issues arise, they would still be my concern!” His words, spoken from a place of responsibility, sounded different.

“But isn’t that just a clever way of avoiding the issue?

Would you like me to poke holes in it?” Pei Qin looked at him with contempt, “We who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have everything.

If you want to be unreasonable, just try being unreasonable with me!” Having said that, she glanced at Pei Wenli.

This family was currently supporting Pei Wenli’s education, hoping he would become a Scholar and restore the honor of Old Pei’s House.

But Pei Qin, with her rogue-like attitude, threatened the matter concerning Pei Wenli’s pursuing academic honors, something Lady Zhu, Lady Chen, Pei Houli, and Old Pei could not consent to!

Before Pei Houli could speak again, Pei Qin pulled a kitchen knife from the table.

“You wretched girl, dare you threaten to slash someone in front of so many people!?” Lady Zhu scolded furiously.

“Against such shameless scum, I am never stingy with the knife in my hand!” Pei Qin’s lips curled coldly, “Choose, to divide or to slash, make your decision quick!”

The two elderly clan heads in the village were also unable to accept Jian Xiao, and although there were precedents from The Imperial Court, and even though it was decreed by the Emperor for the sake of family lineage, it still went against their understanding of human relations and morals.

That day, Pei Qin made another fuss about wanting to split the family and to nullify Jian Xiao, and both felt the need to support her, “Since the eldest daughter of the second branch has spoken, willing to part with all claims on the family property but proposing certain terms, and since you both agree to the separation, then let it be settled cleanly.”

Pei Houli looked towards Old Pei.

Old Pei pursed his lips, “Then let’s divide it!”

Pei Houli became somewhat agitated internally, “Father!

If we truly ignore them and let them live in poverty and misery, our second brother won’t rest in peace beneath the ground!”

“I believe my father would support my decision!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared in my dream!” Pei Qin looked disdainfully at Pei Houli and the others.

As soon as Pei Loaer’s visiting spirit in a dream was mentioned, the expressions of Lady Zhu and Old Pei darkened.

Pei Houli’s expression also stiffened.

Lady Fang covered her mouth and burst into tears, “Father!

We want nothing, just let us split from the family, please!”

Old Pei, now without a word, simply asked Pei Lizheng to write the partition document, upon which he signed and stamped his thumbprint.

Pei Qin took the partition document and made Lady Zhu, Pei Houli, Lady Chen, Pei Wenli, and even Pei Wenlee and Pei Wenbo place their thumbprints on it.
