“Su Pangya, you’re making things up!” 

The one who spoke was Old Mrs. Wu, who suspected that Su Pangya wanted to get her and Liu Shan’s coffin’s money. Of course, she would be the first one to refuse! 

Su Xiaoxiao smiled lightly and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to hand over your coffin’s money, then you can just use something valuable to offset it.” 

Something valuable? 

The fields? The land? 

For villagers who were farming, if there were no fields, they would just be a rootless duckweed*. Who dared to exchange these out! 

*rootless duckweed : be helpless, no permanent home or job and is not settled in any community. 

At this moment, Liu Ping’s youngest daughter came over weepingly. 

She had just woken up from a nap, and Da Meizi wasn’t there, so she came out of the house. 

T/N : Da Meizi is the older sister Meizi, author write the names of Mrs. Wu children as Meizi. So to differentiate them, the younger one will be called Xiao Meizi, and the older one as Meizi or Da Meizi. 

“Mom.” She stretched out her little arms looking for her mother. 

Mrs. Wu held her daughter tightly in her arms. 

Meizi came out to hug her younger sister, but the younger sister refused to go with her. 

Old Mrs. Wu’s eyes flashed, and she said to Su Xiaoxiao, “I will sell these two girls to you!” 

Everyone was dumbfounded. This old woman, for the sake of money, she even dared to sell her own granddaughters! 

Liu Ping was shocked and said, “Mother!” 

Su Xiaoxiao looked disdainful and said, “How much are these two girls worth? You can use your grandson to offset the debt! Niudan looks nice and chubby, and for the sake of being a good neighbor, I will give 5 taels cheaper!” 

“You can’t sell my son!” Mrs. He screamed without thinking.

Niudan was not only the precious baby of Liu An, but also the sweetheart of Liu Shan and Old Mrs. Wu. With Mrs. He’s disagreement, these two elders were also reluctant. 

They need at least to choose the coffin’s money, the fields, or Niudan, to pay off the debts.  

To be precise, it was to reduce the interest.

Even if they sold their entire family, they still couldn’t gather 48 taels.

Mrs. He cried and said, “Dad! Mom! Just let the big brother and his family live separately from the main family! It’s not us who owe the debt! Why should we have to pay for it?!” 

Su Xiaodao said, “Ohh, the way you say it, as if the two of them didn’t earn money for the family and didn’t work for the whole family.” 

Just with one sentence, she made Mrs. He choked. 

All of Liu Ping’s wages were handed over to Old Mrs. Wu. When Mrs. Wu’s mother was sick, she wasn’t even able to give an egg back to her mom. 

So why couldn’t the debt Liu Ping owed be repaid by the whole family together?

Aunt Liu nibbled on melon seeds and said, “Ping ge’er, don’t live separately from the family. Let them help you pay it back together!” 

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, “You guys think about it carefully. Are you going to pay it back together without separating the family, or are you going to let the two of them pay it back on their own after they live separately from the family!” 

“Let’s just separate the family!” Mrs. He said, “Dad! Mom! If this family is not separated, Liu An and I won’t be able to survive…… We can’t live anymore……” 

Old Mrs. Wu’s mouth twitched.

She also wanted to separate the family. 

She looked at her husband. 

At this moment, Liu Shan was in a dilemma, as he couldn’t stop halfway in this situation. It was he who said that he didn’t agree to separate the family. However, Liu Ping owed so much debt, if he didn’t separate the family, then he would have to pay for Liu Ping’s debt. 

Moreover, he didn’t want to pay, nor could he afford to pay it. 

Aunt Liu said again, “Uncle Liu, if it’s really not possible, then you should just separate the family.” 

There were two major surnames in the village— Liu and Wu, which had the largest number of people, but they didn’t have much blood relationship with each other. Even if they have the same surname, some are already so distant to the point of being strangers. 

Old Li Tou glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, he sighed, and said to Liu Shan, “Old Liu, just separate the family, I know it’s hard for you too.” 

Things had already progressed to this point, which had greatly surprised the villagers. 

Liu Ping proposed to separate the family because he didn’t want to drag them down. With this kind of filial piety alone, no one could criticize him!

On the contrary, the Liu family was not like a real family. Liu Ping was the eldest son. Although he was wrong to owe debts, he didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, all the wages he had earned over the years had been given to the family. 

Shouldn’t the family agree to pay off his debts?
