Moreover, this place was left by him, meant for An Ning.
Nowadays, she's long unworthy of living here, let alone Xiaoniu.
But returning to the Gao Family would mean losing this happy life, and life would become chaotic again, filled with daily noise and arguments.
Yan took her younger son from her arms and held him lovingly, kissing him. Gao Dashu sighed and began to speak, "Darling, the family has been split. From now on, we'll just live our own lives, and father and mother will stay with the eldest brother. We'll provide them with grains and money for respect annually."
This news shocked Yan, "Split the family? How would father and mother agree?"
"The Tian Family and the Zhou Family have come to the door. If we don't split, they want to drag Gao Dashu to court. Father didn't want to split the family; he hoped the eldest brother could continue further studies. But that tarnished the family's reputation, and now even the eldest brother's remaining scholar status is at risk."
