Chapter 911: Even an ignorant man knows 911
“Signing is also fine,” Xiao Yuchuan picked up the brush pen, wrote his name first, and then pressed his handprint.
Onlookers from the village were stunned, and Aunt Liu asked, “Chuan, how can you write?”
Xiao Yuchuan looked at Su Qingyue with adoring eyes, “My wife taught me.”
Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe also signed their names and stamped their handprints respectively.
The crowd was truly amazed, “The Xiao Family’s three sons can all read and write!”
“Yes, even Qinghe and Dashan can read and write, it’s really remarkable!” Aunt Liu admired, and the others were both envious and impressed.
“Dashan, your literacy, could it also be that your wife… well, she’s not your wife now, could it also be Su Qingyue who taught you?” Among those who came to watch, there was Ding Er, who asked this question.
Xiao Yishan nodded.
Qinghe added, “My wife… I mean Qingyue, Qingyue taught us three brothers how to read and write, and she also taught me and third brother medical skills.”
“Wow, Su Qingyue is really something, she even knows medical skills? Are her medical skills real or fake?” someone asked, and another person replied, “Whether the medical skill is real or not, I don’t know, but the literacy she taught has no mistakes. Look at the writing of the Xiao Family’s three sons, it’s all accurate…”
The crowd started gossiping with each other’s comments.
Xiao Yishan glanced at Su Qingyue, suddenly not wanting to divide the family, nor did he want Li Rong’er anymore.
He wanted, just like before, to live a good life with his wife!

A feeling of regret started within him, steadily growing into a profound remorse that filled his chest.
The moment Xiao Qinghe signed his name, he also felt regret.
But what of it?
Qingyue was not a member of the Xiao Family anymore, officially she had nothing to do with them; even if he didn’t go through with the division, would it change anything?
Just as Xiao Yishan was about to say he no longer wanted to divide the family, Liang Lizheng had already collected the two contracts with signatures and stamps, and distributed the three completed ones to the Xiao Family’s three sons, “Your family has substantial property, so we handled things more formally. Five copies in total, three for you brothers to hold, one kept by the village, and one to be submitted to the government office, just in case there are disputes later.”
Xiao Yishan thought of Li Rong’er’s tear-stained face, remembered how he had tarnished her pure and clean reputation, and felt he had to take responsibility. Hesitating, the procedure for family division was already complete.
Liang Lizheng waved his hand, “If there’s nothing else, everyone can go home!”
The villagers left in twos and threes, all envious of how much property the Xiao Family’s three sons had divided.
Liu Xianglian’s mother, Liu Zhengshi, arrived late and asked Ding Er, who was present, “Old Ding, how much property did Xiao Yuchuan get?”
“The division in Xiao Family was quite fair,” Ding Er said. “Xiao Family had a total of 96 acres of paddy field, with another 6 acres of vegetable field, making it 100 acres altogether. Each of the Xiao Family’s three sons got a little over 33 acres each, registered in the government office, so there was no change. Each got four rooms in the new houses, with little change to the furniture. The kitchen, thatched house, and horse-drawn cart were allotted to Xiao Qinghe. The old house of the Xiao Family is still shared by the three brothers. As for the cash silver of the Xiao Family, well, it’s all earned by Su Qingyue, so it was returned to Su Qingyue already. Even the food and hoe were evenly distributed. It is said that Su Qingyue also gathered a good deal of medicine, her own collection, and all of it belongs to Su Qingyue.”
“So that means, Chuan got four rooms in a new house, plus over thirty acres of farmland,” Liu Zhengshi calculated, “That can be worth more than 500 taels, right?”
“Oh, you’re still thinking of marrying your daughter Liu Xianglian to Chuan?” Ding Er mocked, “Who doesn’t know that Chuan doesn’t want your girl at all? Stop clinging to that hope.”
