Chapter 132: Wanting to Study...Decision to Sacrifice Plum

After breakfast, Xiang Chen went to the river to catch shrimp while Xu Hengzhou went to find Chen Youshan. Xiang Chen thought Xu Hengzhou was going to discuss school matters with Chen Youshan, unaware that what Xu Hengzhou wanted to talk about was actually related to him.

Xu Hengzhou arrived at the right time. Chen Youshan was about to head to the fields with a hoe. Seeing him, he immediately put down the hoe and asked his granddaughter, who was at home, to fetch water for Xu Hengzhou.

After years of acquaintance, Chen Youshan had some understanding of Xu Hengzhou. Seeing his expression, he knew that something was up, so he let him in and closed the door to the main room.

"What school matters do you have?" Chen Youshan asked as soon as they sat down.

"In fact, this time I came to you for some personal matters," Xu Hengzhou got straight to the point. "I want to ask you to help me move Xiang Chen's household registration."

"What?!" Chen Youshan didn't understand his meaning and asked in surprise.

Xu Hengzhou repeated, "I want you to help me move my brother's household registration out and establish a separate one for him. He's eighteen now and can have his own household."

Chen Youshan was stunned. "Are you planning to split the family?"

Before Xu Hengzhou could answer, Chen Youshan hurriedly continued, "There are only two of you brothers, originally with a small population. Why do you want to split the family? Did you two have an argument with each other? Hey, between brothers, a little quarrel is nothing. Look at the two Ma brothers at the east end of the village, they fight until they're black and blue, but they're still living well. In my opinion, no matter how big the anger is, just endure it and it will pass. It's really not good to make it a big deal."

Xu Hengzhou didn't listen to his advice at all. Moving Xiang Chen's household registration was necessary. They shared the same household registration, which severely restricted their identities. Even if he had feelings for Xiang Chen, Xiang Chen was still his younger brother.

Originally not biologically related, if he hadn't developed feelings, it would have been fine. But now that there was someone in his heart, Xu Hengzhou was unwilling to let a title restrict him.

"We didn't quarrel," Xu Hengzhou said firmly. "There are some other matters. Our relationship is good. We're not splitting the family, just want to establish a separate household for him."

Chen Youshan still didn't understand. If they weren't splitting the family, why did they want to establish a separate household? After pondering for a while, he glanced suspiciously at Xu Hengzhou. Could it be that one of the brothers was getting married?

What Chen Youshan guessed in his heart wasn't Xu Hengzhou's concern. Fortunately, Chen Youshan didn't press him further. Seeing Xu Hengzhou's firm attitude, he agreed to help with the matter.

"There's another thing," Xu Hengzhou continued. "Please don't tell Xiang Chen about this yet. Let me tell him slowly."

Chen Youshan found it increasingly strange. He frowned and said, "I don't have a problem with it, but it's best for Teacher Xiao Xu to come and sign, and we'll need his household registration book as well."

Having spent so many years in the countryside, Xu Hengzhou had seen similar situations handled before. The process of splitting the family and establishing a household in the countryside was not standardized, with many manipulable spaces in between. He immediately said, "Does Xiang Chen need to sign? It's enough for the head of the household to agree. My signature is the necessary one, right?"
