Chapter 6: Division of the Family
"It's just a family separation. You don't allow Da Ya and Er Ya to come to the table to eat. I insist on letting you go, so we have no choice but to separate the family.
When the family is divided, I have no control over whether you allow it or not. You also have no control over whether my daughter serves food at the table.
Let's see if it's resolved satisfactorily. "After using his hands to intimidate, Shui Qing decided to 'fight first and then be polite'.
Well, negotiation has always been something she is good at.
When they heard about the separation, Da Ya Er Ya and Jiang He Hu's eyes brightened.
Sun Jinhua made a calculation in her mind.
My brother-in-law earns fifty-three cents a day, which is the only one he can earn in Shanshui Village. The family can also afford to eat during slack seasons, not because of the twenty or thirty acres of fertile land, but because of his brother-in-law's contribution.
Moreover, Mrs. Hu and her five cubs worked hard and took over all the dirty work at home. They ate less and did more, so it was very cost-effective to raise them.
In the past, she would definitely have been unwilling to let her brother-in-law's family separate.
But now...she glanced at Fan's mother.
Mother-in-law has a lot of money, and now Mrs. Hu is having a quarrel with her mother-in-law. If the family is separated at this time, mother-in-law will definitely not want to live with her brother-in-law.
She can pick up the leaks.
Fan's mother felt guilty when she heard about the separation.
All the money she has is due to her younger son turning in the money. If her younger son's family is divided, how will she have any money in the future...
Fan Dazhu quietly grabbed Sun Jinhua's sleeves and suggested in a low voice: "Mom, separate them! They don't have any share of the house, the fields, or the food!"
"Yes, anyway, the commotion has already broken out. Da Yaer Ya can't sell it, so we still have to count on grandma." Fan Erzhu added.
They have to stand with Grandma.
Sun Jinhua glanced at her mother-in-law, she also wanted to taste what it was like to be a hostess.
Then he sighed, "Where are the four sons? It's good to have more sons, but it's too tiring to find wives for them."
Forget it, once she gets the money from her mother-in-law and kills her, she can truly be the master of the family.
"Okay, but I would like to remind you that if the Hu family is separated, you will have more work to do. Don't be lazy anymore."
"What are you afraid of? Isn't it time to recruit a younger brother? She is seven years old and can definitely do laundry and cook." Fan Dazhu said casually.
Sun Jinhua pursed her lips and wanted to retort to her eldest son, but thinking that she would have to rely on him to support her in the future, she silently closed her mouth.
Women always have to do laundry and cooking. This is true in every household.
The big house agreed, Sun Jinhua stepped forward, cleared his throat and said: "It's okay to separate the families.
But we have agreed that we can only divide the land, mountains, and forest property in the public domain. Each house belongs to them privately, so we don’t want to share it! "
Fan's mother looked at the eldest daughter-in-law in shock and asked in disbelief: "Old man, how can you agree to separate the family?"
"Mother-in-law, look at how my siblings look like, can we not separate them? She made a fuss at noon, and our family was disgraced in the village. If we don't separate the families and let her continue to make troubles, do you and I still have a reputation?
Dazhu and the others are growing up and have no reputation. How can they arrange a good marriage? "Sun Jinhua wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, looking aggrieved for the sake of the overall situation.
Mother Fan gritted her teeth and said, "I gave birth to my second son, and I gave him his life. Why should I share my property with him?"
It's okay to separate the houses. Just pack up your clothes and bedding in the house and get out quickly! Don’t even think about the things from Lao Fan’s family! "
Hearing her mother-in-law's tough words, Sun Jinhua's face lit up with joy.
Hahaha, look at you Hu Shuiqing, you don't know how to behave, you can't get anything out of offending your mother-in-law.
Shui Qing turned the kitchen knife around, and the sharp blade of the kitchen knife shone brightly in the dim hall.
Fan's mother shrank her neck in fear.
Fan Dazhu said forcefully: "Don't always scare us with kitchen knives! I advise you to be more sensible. If you make us angry, the four of us brothers will come together and throw you out. What can you do?"
"Sister-in-law, I have many sons and you can't beat me. My mother-in-law is not willing to give you a share of my father's farmland, forest and property. If you have the guts, you shouldn't take it!" Sun Jinhua had the backing of her son, so she was determined.
"It's a joke, do you know what separation of families means? I don't have a share of the family's farmland, forest and property, so go to the village chief and Li Zheng and ask if my husband has a share!" Shui Qing retorted unceremoniously.
backbone?
She wants her fair share, so why doesn't she have backbone?
These days, land is the foundation of a family's life. Land can be used to build houses, and land can provide food and clothing. If she doesn't want it, is it all a benefit to the uncle and his family?
"Sister-in-law, you want to take advantage of your son and throw me out? OK, then who will go first?
By then, this house will be full of blood and lives, and there will be no need to separate the families. We can all be buried together. "
Although the atmosphere was very serious, for some reason, the five Da Ya wanted to laugh when they heard what their mother said.
Da Ya Er Ya suppressed her laughter, and stood by her mother's side, one on the left and the other on the right, shouting: "Count us in! We want to be with mother!"
"Let's go with Mom too!" Jiang Hehu and the other three people shouted in unison.
But Fan Dazhu and the others couldn't laugh. No one of them wanted to go first;
Secondly, this house must belong to their eldest family. Not to mention life, they don't want to see even blood.
The house is a bit old after decades of living there, but the three-room blue brick house is so decent in the village, how could it be stained with blood.
Sun Jinhua smoothed things over and said: "Brothers and sisters, are you serious? Dazhu is still a child, how can you argue with him? The property will naturally be divided."
Shui Qing looked calm: Child? A child who wants to get married at the age of sixteen?
Hearing Hu Shuiqing shouting and calling for killing, and the five little ungrateful people all siding with their mother, Fan's mother realized that she had to separate this evil daughter-in-law!
However, "Let's wait for the eldest son to come back before dividing the things. With the eldest son here, he can help you transport the things, right?"
The main thing is that the eldest son has come back, and there is an adult strong man here, and the more or less divided can also help cover up, and Hu Shuiqing, a woman, can't find anything.
"Since you have to wait, just wait a little longer, just wait for the child's father to come back and divide it together." Shuiqing replied generously.
Fan's mother and Sun Jinhua were stunned.
The second son is a scholar, with a quick mind. He knows exactly how many acres of land and forests there are in the family!
Waiting for the second son to come back to divide the family, can it be good?
"No, the eldest son can come back tonight, and the second son doesn't know when he can come back!
The eldest son has also been educated and knows how to read. There is a literate person to write the deed for the division of the family, and there is no need to wait for the second son." Fan's mother decided without any objection.
"There are only those things at home. It would be enough if there is someone who can read and write a contract. What difference does it make whether the second son is here or not? Doesn't the second son's family trust us?" Sun Jinhua frowned and asked righteously.
"Mother and sister-in-law agree that as long as there is someone who can read and write a contract, it will be enough?"
A deep and steady voice came, as gentle as jade and as clear as water.
