Gu Yunxi really went out and called the village chief.

When the village chief heard that it was Boss Gu who wanted to divide the family, he hurriedly asked someone to call a few elders.

After a while, the village chief and several elders arrived, followed by many villagers who came to watch the fun.

"Uncle, I heard from Yunxi that her father wants to separate from you. I came here with a few elders to take a look." The village chief said straight to the point.

When Mr. Gu saw this, he was so angry that his face turned green, but he couldn't curse directly in front of the village chief and several elders.

Old Master Gu said coldly: "Village Chief, this is all the eldest brother's nonsense, Yunxi is also following her father's nonsense, we will not separate the family!"

"Village chief, elders, please go back. As long as I and I are still alive, we will not split up."

"No, village chief, I want to divide the family. I can't stay in this family anymore." Boss Gu shouted in the house and walked out tremblingly, holding on to the wall.

Boss Gu was standing in the yard. Gu Yunxi saw him and hurried over to move a stool for him so that he could sit down and talk.

Boss Gu sat down and said to the village chief seriously: "Village chief, fellow elders, I'm sure you've heard before that I was seriously ill a few days ago and almost died."

"My biological parents didn't care about my life or death at all. They ran to the town to enjoy life with my second brother."

Upon hearing this, the village chief nodded slowly, and several elders whispered and discussed among themselves, nodding from time to time.

"Boss Gu, what your parents did was indeed immoral. But they are your parents after all, and they are already old. Why do you have to make a fuss about dividing the family?" said one of the elders.

When Mr. Gu heard the elder say this, he was delighted and immediately agreed, "That's right, my wife and I are both this old, and we have one foot in the grave."

"Boss, you are such an unfilial son. We are from the same village. How can it be reasonable to divide the family property while the parents are still alive?"

Boss Gu's eyes were red, and he loudly retorted: "Other people don't split up their families because their parents still treat their children as their own children, but you, seeing that I was seriously ill, were afraid of infecting me, and you actually ignored me!"

"My parents, even ordinary neighbors like the Yuan family next door saw me and felt sorry for me. They sent me food when I was seriously ill. Don't you think this old face is too shameful?"

After a pause, Boss Gu continued, "That's fine. I'm not just angry about this incident. It's more because of your partiality to me since I was a child."

"When I was little, I loved reading, but you favored my second brother. You asked me to help with farm work while you sent my second brother to study in the town."

"For so many years, whenever there was something good at home, you just moved it to my second brother's place. Why did you ever ask for my opinion?"

"I am the only one who cultivates the eight acres of land in our family. I rely on the harvest to support you and my second brother's family. Have I ever complained over the years? Have you ever told me that it's hard work? Have my second brother's family ever been grateful to me?"

"No, none of them! But now I don't count on you anymore."

Boss Gu smiled bitterly and said, "I am also this old now. I don't have a son or a wife. I only have two daughters left."

"I don't want to go on like this, working like a slave for the Gu family, only to end up dying of illness with no one to take care of me. So, I must divide this family today."

Boss Gu's words shocked everyone present.

When Mr. Gu heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He pointed at Boss Gu with his eyes wide open.

Old Lady Gu cursed: "You unfilial thing, your second brother is a student, and you, a peasant who can't even read a single word, how dare you compare yourself with your second brother?"

"Now your nephew Yunhong is still a scholar, so it's not impossible for you to divide the family. If Yunhong passes the imperial examination and becomes an official in the future, it will have nothing to do with you."

The village chief frowned when he heard this. What Old Lady Gu said was not just about dividing the family, but about severing the relationship.

Even if the family splits up, the relationship between relatives remains the same and they can still interact normally.

But if you break off the relationship, that means you will have no contact with each other until you die, and nothing will matter anymore.

"Grandma, do you mean to break off the relationship with my father?" Gu Yunxi asked.

When Mr. Gu heard this, he really intended to do so and scolded, "What do you mean by breaking off the relationship? Your father is my son and will always be my son."

"Oh, but from what grandma said, even if cousin Yunhong becomes successful in the future, it will have nothing to do with us. Isn't this severing the relationship?" Gu Yunxi curled her lips indifferently.

Old Master Gu glared at Gu Yunxi, then looked at Old Lady Gu and scolded, "If you can't speak, then don't speak. Men are talking, why should women butt in!"

Old Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Yunxi, and felt even more disgusted with her granddaughter. She felt that Gu Yunxi and her sisters were born to jinx her.

However, according to custom, women are not allowed to interrupt when men are talking, so Mrs. Gu had to shut up in disappointment.

Boss Gu said coldly: "Dad, it's not impossible to break off the relationship as my mother said. Anyway, you have never treated me as your son."

"I am just a laborer in the family. When I was in good health, I could really work and take care of eight acres of land by myself, but now..."

Boss Gu looked at his weak body and smiled bitterly: "You all saw it. With my current body, it is questionable whether I can recover in the future."

"If Dad doesn't want to split up the family, that's fine. But I'm going to say this in front of the village chief and several elders. If I live like this for the rest of my life, then Mom and Dad shouldn't look down on me."

"After all, Dad just said that I am your biological son and will be your son for life. It is only natural for a son to be raised by his parents."

Old Mrs. Gu couldn't help herself and shouted hurriedly, "How can that be! Boss, you are such an unfilial boy, how dare you expect me and your father to support you!"

"Old man, you should divide the family quickly and give the eldest son to me. I will consider it as I have raised him for nothing."

When Mr. Gu heard this, his eyelids slightly raised, and his heart suddenly relaxed a little.

What the old woman said made sense. Looking at my eldest son's current health, I'm afraid that even if he continues to take medicine in the future, I can't expect him to fully recover to his former state.

Instead of keeping a sickly child like this, why not really separate him?

Boss Gu understood his parents' expressions at a glance, and felt even colder in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, have you thought it through? If you want to separate, do it now."

"Divide it, I agree! Divide it now!" Old Mrs. Gu responded immediately, while Old Man Gu remained silent and said nothing.

Upon seeing this, the village chief and several clan elders understood a little. It turned out that Grandpa Gu also took Boss Gu's health into consideration and was now willing to split up the family.
