10 Want to Split Up

Liu Xianniang also performed extraordinarily today. If this had happened in the past, she would not have dared to talk back, especially in front of so many villagers.

After today's incident, she was completely awake.

Her in-laws were just ungrateful wolves that she did not know well. She had been working like a horse in this house for 18 years. Her filial piety had simply been fed to the dogs!

In the future, she would live for herself and her daughter. It would be impossible to order her around like a slave again.

After understanding these things, Liu Xianniang's entire temperament changed.

She was no longer submissive and no longer avoided others' eyes. It was as if she had been reborn.

Mao Xiaoyu, who was the closest to her, naturally noticed the change in her mother.

She grinned at her mother. She was happy to accept her mother's change.

That's great, she liked a mother who had her own opinions and was not weak!

At least, if her mother could help her up, she would have an easier time in the future.

"Grandpa Village Chief, please make the decision. I want to split the family!" Mao Xiaoyu said loudly.

Whether or not the family could be separated was secondary, but after today's incident, she had to first speak out her thoughts on separating.

She would bring it up again the next time Grandpa and Grandma were up to something. She was sure that she would succeed at least once.

"Impossible! As long as I'm alive, I'll never part with the family!" When Grandma Mao heard this, she exploded.

This little brat is so bold, she actually wants to split the family!

No way, in her grand dreams!

"Little girl, how about this? If they bully you and your mother again in the future, you can come to me. I'll stand up for you and your mother!" The Village Chief decided to help the poor mother and daughter.

In fact, he could not stand it anymore, but in the past, Liu Xianniang and Mao Daya did not resist, so he could not find a reason to help as an outsider.

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief." Mao Xiaoyu pretended to be happy.

She tugged at her mother's sleeve and called out softly, "Mother…"

Liu Xianniang was surprised by her daughter's change. When she heard her daughter calling her, she quickly thanked her, "Thank you chief for making the decision!"

In the past, the villagers had always called her eldest son's wife or eldest daughter's mother. almost no one knew what her family name was.

But from now on, she would be Liu Xianniang, at most her husband's surname, and her name would be Mao Liushi.

"Village Chief, you're being biased. You're bullying me…" Grandma Mao rolled her eyes and slapped her thigh, trying to act shamelessly.

The sharp and mean cries made the Village Chief and the other two old men frown.

The old man who had not spoken all this time was also surnamed Mao. In terms of seniority, Mao Laogen still had to call him 'Little Uncle'. It was just that they were not immediate relatives, and their relationship was a little distant.

Fortunately, they were not close relatives. Otherwise, the old man would have kicked his nephew's wife to death.

"Mao Laogen, if you let this woman continue to wail, your whole family will get lost and stay far away from the village!" Old Man Mao's face darkened.

"Sob, sob… Uh, sob..." Grandma Mao immediately stopped crying. However, she stopped too quickly and accidentally choked on her tears.

"Little Uncle, this is a woman's fight. You can't be afraid." Mao Laogen only raised his eyelids, not afraid at all.

The Mao family had been living in this village for hundreds of years, and they had their own family in the same village. He did not think that the Village Chief and the others had the ability to drive them away.

"Mao Laogen, don't think you're free to do just anything. If you anger me, I will go and ask the clan leader of the Mao clan to personally expel you from the clan!" Old Man Mao was furious.

Once he said this, Mao Laogen became timid.

Even if he was still around, he was also afraid of being expelled from the clan. As the saying goes, a person without roots would become a lonely ghost after death.

"Uncle, don't be angry. I'll definitely take care of my wife. Don't worry, don't worry!" As a matter of fact, Mao Laogen immediately expressed his stance. As he spoke, he even bowed and flattered the Village Chief and the other two.

Mao Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and pouted in disdain.

When Liu Xianniang saw her daughter's disrespectful expression, she subconsciously moved a step and stood in front of her daughter.

Her daughter's current appearance was disrespectful to the elderly, and she could not let the Village Chief and the others see it.

Of course, Mao Xiaoyu understood her mother's intention. She felt warm in her heart and wrapped her arms around her mother's waist from behind. She buried her face in her mother's back affectionately.

Although Mao Xiaoyu was already 14 years old, years of malnutrition made her look like she was only 10 years old, and she was only as tall as Liu Xianniang's chest.

"Let's go. The sun has already set. Everyone, go home and cook!" The Village Chief and the other two reprimanded Grandma Mao, Mao Erlang, and the others once more before letting them off.

After the villagers consoled Mao Xiaoyu and her daughter, they left in twos and threes.

"Uncle Liangzi, thank you for just now." Mao Xiaoyu walked up to the man who had taken a few slaps from Grandma Mao for her and her daughter.

"It's nothing. It doesn't hurt. I have thick skin." The simple and honest man scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

After all, the old lady was old. Even if she used all her strength, she would only hurt him a little. However, the little girl in front of him was different. she was so thin that she was skin and bones. it was possible that she would die after being slapped by the old lady.

Mao Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, thinking that she would repay Uncle Liangzi if she had the chance in the future.

"Alright, we'll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything." After the Village Chief finished speaking to Mao Xiaoyu, he left the Mao family with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief! Thank you, Great Grandpa Mao! Thank you, Grandpa Qi!" Mao Xiaoyu shouted from behind.

These people would be her future supporters!

Grandma Mao waited for the crowd to leave before she glared at Mao Xiaoyu with a pair of dark eyes.

Mao Xiaoyu pretended that she did not see it. She would not die from being glared at. She pulled her mother and walked towards their room.

She did not need to think to know that there would definitely be no share for the mother and daughter tonight. if things did not go well, they might not even be given food tomorrow.

"Second Brother's family, Third Brother's family, go cook." Mao Laogen felt that his old wife was a failure. After saying this, he went back to his room.

Rong Xiang had already left under Mao Xiaoyu's instructions, but he did not go far. He quietly went to the back of the house and waited for Mao Xiaoyu and her daughter to return.

He was still holding onto Mao Xiaoyu's gray cloth bag. He took a few glances at the contents and realized that most of them were poisonous dark-brown substances. There were only a few edible wild vegetables.

He still had a chicken and a rabbit on him, but the Daya probably would not want them either. In the end, he could only put the half-biscuit, which was as hard as a rock, back into the bag.

He could only let the mother and daughter have some food tonight. He would send more food tomorrow.

Mao Xiaoyu ran to the window as soon as she entered the house. "Brother Rong."

Rong Xiang handed the bag to Mao Xiaoyu. "I'll come over tomorrow at 7:35 to bring you food."
