Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Chasing Away a Beggar
Wang Muxiao locked the box and put it back in the cabinet. She could show the letters and love tokens to those men’s wives. As for the name list and receipts, she had to find a way to send it to the authorities.

After thinking about it, she remembered the man in a military coat who came to pick up Xiao Yiqing. Thinking back on their similarities, they could be siblings. Since Xiao Yiqing hates Su Anna, if this information is sent to her, maybe she will give it to her brother.

If she uses their hands to deal with Su Anna, no one will connect this matter with her. Coming to this conclusion, Wang Muxiao smiled. Tomorrow, she will go to the county town and send this envelope to Xiao Yiqing. Fortunately, she had already found Xiao Yiqing’s information when she lived in their house before. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even know where her address is now.

In the Chen family, Grandpa Chen is sitting on the main seat in the main hall, drinking tea. Besides him there were the elders and their sons.

Unlike other families who separated after their children got married, the Chen family never separated since their great-great-grandparents. So at this moment, apart from the Li family, the Chen family has the most children and grandchildren, and they all live together.

After a long silence, one of the elders finally asked, “Eldest Brother, since Jiande doesn’t have to go to school anymore, let him follow everyone to work in the fields and earn some work points. You won’t let him be and do whatever he wants just because he is your eldest grandson, right?”

Putting down the tea cup, Grandpa Chen said, “Second brother, my grandson will work to earn his food. But now, he was punished and is not allowed to leave his room.”

Hearing what he said, one of the elder’s sons said, “Uncle, since my nephew has been expelled by the school, this counts as punishment. So, please forgive him. If he doesn’t work, how will he support himself? You won’t expect us to raise your grandson, right?”

Grandpa Chen looked at his nephew and said coldly, “Nephew, you don’t have to worry about the First Branch’s matters. I have my own arrangement.”

Knowing that Grandpa Chen still wanted to protect Gou Dan even after he had embarrassed the Chen family, one of the elders said, “Since my cousin has said so, my family and I will no longer care about your family’s affairs. As for this year’s food supply, I think it’s better to divide it according to our own division of labor.”

Grandpa Chen understood what he meant, narrowed his eyes, and asked, “Cousin, are you saying you want to separate your household registration?”

The old man looked at Grandpa Chen and said, “Cousin, we already have grandchildren, so it makes no sense to not separate our families now. Just look at the Li family. They have a longer history than our Chen family and have more descendants. But every time the children got married, they still separated their household registration.”

“Cousin, what exactly do you want to say?” Grandpa Chen asked again.

The old man looked at the crowd and said, “I indeed want to separate my household registration from the Chen family. I think this is not a bad decision. Not only are there fewer internal conflicts, there is no need to feed idle people anymore. During the holidays, we can still get together to have a meal.”

After listening to his words, everyone nodded and agreed with what he said. Often, when a parent dies, people separate their families. Only the Chen family has not separated their household registers and continues to be one family. Currently, their family has nearly a hundred names registered under Grandpa Chen’s name.

With their name registered under Grandpa Chen, everything should be done with Grandpa Chen’s consent because he is their legal guardian and the head of the Chen family. Not only that, they should also hand over the money and food they earned. As for how the money is divided and how much food can be eaten by them, Grandpa Chen, as the head of the family, has the final say.

This is why they are unhappy with the current situation. While the rest of the family worked hard to earn work points, Grandpa Chen used the money they earned to send his sons and grandsons to school and find jobs for them in the county and city.

Not only that, he was so partial to his grandchildren that he never asked them to work under the pretext of studying. At the same time, he told the children and grandchildren of other branches that even if they had gone to school and had better grades than Gou Dan, they should still work to earn work points.

After years of dissatisfaction, they finally decided to separate from the family because of Gou Dan’s matters. After Gou Dan was expelled from school, every time they went out, the villagers would point at them and gossip about them, making them so embarrassed that they couldn’t hold their heads up.

Grandpa Chen glanced at everyone and found that no one was on his side this time. Although he was angry in his heart, he knew that he could not avoid today’s incident. After thinking for a while, he finally said, “It’s not impossible to separate our family’s household registration.”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard his words. But Grandpa Chen’s next words dashed their hopes.

“But if you decide to separate, each adult will only get 5 yuan and 2 kilograms of whole grains. Children under 5 years old will receive half of the adult share.”

After slamming the table, an elder said angrily, “Eldest Brother, don’t go too far! Do you think we don’t know how much money and food our family has? Do you think you are chasing away a beggar?”

“Fifth brother, our family’s money is used to pay tuition for our children and buy school supplies. Our family’s savings are running low. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the account book.” Grandpa Chen said calmly.
