When the two daughters-in-law of the He family heard that they had to give up half a room, they immediately objected.

"We have so many children, how can we live with just half a room left?"

Sheng Yueqing scoffed, "So you all know the house is too small to live in."

"How could you have the nerve to make us live in such a tiny, dilapidated house? Have you no conscience?"

"you."

The wives of the brothers were furious, but they couldn't refute it.

He Yushen's house was indeed pitifully small.

But these were all allocated by Old Mother He, so what business is it of theirs?

Sheng Yueqing asked Old Mother He, "Since none of my sisters-in-law are willing to share a room with us, then let's give one of Mother-in-law's two rooms to us."

Old Mrs. He objected, "Why should I?"

Sheng Yueqing retorted firmly, "Given that my He Yushen is good at both making money and farming, we should have two rooms."

"Besides, you're not having any more children, so why would you need such a big house?"

"We can't possibly have to have an eighth child, can we?"

The other daughters-in-law also felt that giving up Old Mother He's room was better than giving up theirs, so they came to persuade her, "Mom, why don't you give them the room next door? Then Sixth Brother will have a place to live when he has a baby."

Old Mrs. He clutched her chest, "I've worked hard my whole life to finally live in a big house, and you want me to squeeze into a small room? Don't you have any conscience!"

Then he sat on the ground and howled again.

The neighbors were woken up by the noise and came to see what was going on.

Finally, the clan chief was invited.

The clan chief also felt that He Yushen's house was too small, and it would be unfair not to give him a bigger one.

Let Old Mrs. He give up one of her rooms.

If we don't divide it up, we'll fill in the vegetable garden and build a big house for He Yushen.

That vegetable garden was Old Mrs. He's treasure, so naturally she wouldn't allow it.

Sheng Yueqing frowned, "You won't agree to this, you won't agree to that, so He Yushen isn't your son?"

"Look everyone, the He family has seven sons, and each of them has a big belly and a round face, and they all live in at least two rooms."

“Only He Yushen wears his brother’s old tattered pants and lives in a dilapidated house that has already collapsed.”

"But we did the most work."

"If Mother-in-law is so heartless, we won't live in the He family anymore; we want to separate!"

When He Yushen saw Sheng Yueqing winking at him, he immediately said, "That's right, if they don't build us a big house, we'll split up the family!"

Why is it that everyone else has two big rooms, while his dilapidated house is not only drafty but also leaks rain?

Not to mention the villagers, even the clan chief couldn't stand it.

“He Cuihua, I’m giving you two choices: either build a big house for Lao Liu, or divide the family property.”

Old Mrs. He was also furious. "Fine, let's split the family property, but they have to pay for the house themselves!"

"Also, I won't give him any of the family's food. It's his own fault for being so heartless as to want to divide the family property."

The clan chief didn't listen.

"Since we're splitting up, do any of you have any objections?"

The wives of the He family had long wanted to separate from the family.

Although we usually share food and clothing, some people use more than others, which makes people feel it's unfair.

Moreover, Old Mrs. He always ransacked their pockets; if they could separate the family, they could save money on their own.

The He family's sons thought the same thing.

If you can make it on your own, all the money you earn in the future will be yours.

He agreed, "Then let's split it."

Old Mrs. He immediately started wailing, "A bunch of heartless people! Your father and I aren't even dead yet, and you're already dividing the family property. How are we supposed to live in the future?"

In fact, many sons in the village separate from their families after getting married, since it is indeed inconvenient for a large family to live together.

The clan chief asked Old Man He, "Zhiwen, what do you think? Should this family be divided up?"

Old Man He was a man of few words his whole life, only concerned with his work and not with household matters.

Now that his sons all want to separate from the family, he doesn't stop them.

"Let's split it up then, but each family will have to pay their pension contributions on time every month from now on."

When we get old, "they have to take care of us too."

Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Old Mrs. He immediately agreed.

"Yes, every family has to pay money every month, and they still have to take care of us when we get old."

The clan chief nodded, "Then name a number, but not too much, they also have to raise children."

After thinking for a moment, Old Mrs. He said, "Five yuan per family! Give it to me at the beginning of the month."

The women frowned. "Isn't five yuan too much?"

Although they can afford it, they all have to raise children.

Besides, it's not like Old Mrs. He is starving; she doesn't need that much money.

The eldest son of the He family spoke first, "One yuan and fifty cents a month, that way everyone can afford it, otherwise we all have to raise children, and we can't afford more."

Old Mrs. He complained that it was too little, but the clan chief said, "Seven sons, one yuan and fifty cents each is not too little."

"Besides, with so many children in the family, we also need to be considerate of them."

Seeing that the clan chief was fair, Sheng Yueqing said...

"How will the house be divided? All my older brothers have two rooms, but we have nothing."

The clan chief looked at the layout of the He family's courtyard and agreed that building two more rooms would indeed require more space.

Old Mrs. He refused.

"We don't have enough space to build you a house, but we have this wasteland at the foot of the mountain. Do you want it?"

When everyone heard it was wasteland, no one objected.

That wasteland was remote and chaotic, completely uninhabitable.

Although the area is large, the soil there is not good, and nothing grows there. The wives are happy that Sheng Yueqing lives there.

Sheng Yueqing wanted that piece of land.

"Okay, but you have to give us the money to build the house."

When Old Mother He was about to refuse, Sheng Yueqing interrupted her.

“There are seven sons in the family. The family pays for the construction of each son’s house. There’s no reason why He Yushen shouldn’t contribute.”

"If you don't pay up, we won't give you a single penny for your retirement, not even if you're arrested and sent to jail!"
