Chapter 209 If you feel it is unfair, you can go back and split the family

At that time, we will leave doors on the kitchen and this house so that people will not be hindered from entering the yard for any purpose.

After these two houses are built, we will demolish the houses at the back.

Then cover it up little by little.

"The kitchen was ripped off..."

"If the kitchen is emptied, just cook it in our kitchen!"

Before Zhong Meixian finished speaking, Gu Jinfeng had already spoken.

Zhong Meixian didn't say anything else.

Just looking at the yard and the house, his eyes were filled with reluctance, "Don't say it, after living here for so many years, I still feel a little reluctant to tear it down."

Wen Tang went over and put his arm around her shoulders. "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come."

"Mom will live in the new house for decades to come."

"Yes, the old must go before the new can come," Zhong Meixian suddenly became happy again.

"I am blessed with a daughter-in-law and a new house to live in."

As soon as Gu Juyuan came back in the evening, Zhong Meixian started to brag to him, "My daughter-in-law is going to build a new house for us to live in."

"You are enjoying yourself."

Gu Juyuan: "..."

"You don't enjoy happiness?"

Zhong Meixian nodded as a matter of course, "Of course I enjoy my life. I'm lucky, so what's wrong with enjoying my life?"

After saying this, without Gu Juyuan's reply, Zhong Meixian continued to mutter to herself, "I just don't know when I can hold my grandson in my arms."

"God bless me, let me hold my grandson soon!"

"I would be willing to live ten years less just to hold my grandson in my arms."

Gu Juyuan couldn't help but say, "Stop talking nonsense. You are already sixty years old. You want to die tomorrow?"

"You've kicked your legs, and you're still holding your grandson?"

Zhong Meixian "..."

"You... just shut up. Look, you've made all the nice words you said sound ugly."

Gu Juyuan: "..."

"Am I not telling the truth?"

"Go away. I don't want to bother with you."

Gu Juyuan didn't dare to get angry, "It's obviously you who keeps talking nonsense all day long..."

"I just want to talk as much as I want, why would you mind?"

Gu Juyuan remained silent.

When the topic of building a house was brought up at the dinner table that night, Lin Liansheng rarely spoke, "I'll go find someone tomorrow."

"Yes, and ask the price of the brick by the way," Gu Jinfeng instructed him.

"Okay, got it."

Zhong Meixian also instructed Gu Juyuan, "Then don't go to the fields to earn work points starting tomorrow. It's going to be cold soon anyway, and it's time to rest for the winter."

"You demolished the house yourself."

"Yeah, okay."

The family had made all the arrangements, but the next day the kitchen and the courtyard gate were demolished.

As soon as the Gu family's house was demolished, the team became lively.

Almost all the people who were idle at home came to watch.

By noon, the number of onlookers had increased significantly.

Because people who worked in the fields also came to watch the fun.

When Wen Tang came back from town, the entrance to the Gu family courtyard was full of people and was surrounded tightly.

Just as Wen Tang was about to enter from the next yard, someone saw Wen Tang.

Then the man said, "Yan Li's wife is back."

Others looked in the direction of the voice and spoke up one after another, and spontaneously made way for Wen Tang.

They looked at Wen Tang with admiration and respect.

This is admiration and respect for strength.

They will lose their sense of gender superiority here.

The Gu family suddenly built a new house. Needless to say, they made money!

Moreover, many people also knew that the Gu family had received a large order.

These all reveal Wen Tang's strength.

Although Wen Tang is a woman and still young, she has real abilities!

Wen Tang just nodded casually at the crowd and pushed the cart through them.

When Zhong Meixian saw that someone had returned, she hurriedly asked, "What did the commune say?"

Wen Tang went to the commune to ask about lard.

In this era, supplies are in short supply. If I had purchased them myself, it was barely enough before. But now that the order volume has increased, it is obvious that lard will not be able to keep up with the demand.

It is best to ask the leader for this matter.

Wen Tang parked his bike and said, "Director Wang said that he would report this matter to the higher-ups and they would be able to help us solve it in two days."

"Don't mention it, Director Wang has helped a lot."

"Does she like the fried sugar cakes and other things I gave her last time?"

"If she likes it, send some to her."

Wen Tang nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, I know what's going on!"

"Well, okay, you know what's going on, so I won't nag you any more. You're smarter than mom, and mom doesn't talk nonsense." Zhong Meixian has a great advantage, which is that she doesn't try to be smart.

And recognize the intelligence of others.

Wen Tang looked at the crowd of people gathered in the razed kitchen and couldn't help but ask, "Are they all here to watch the fun?"

Zhong Meixian said proudly, "Well, I heard that our family is going to build a new house, so they all came to see it. I am so envious."

"By the way, are you thirsty?"

"Mom, pour you some water!"

Wen Tang shook his head.

The adobe house was demolished in just one day.

The next day, Wen Tang asked Xu Zhongguo to call everyone to a meeting in the rice field.

"I think everyone knows why I called you here. Yes, our soap factory is hiring again."

"We're hiring four this time."

"Based on the principle of fairness and justice."

"We draw lots, and whichever company we draw is the one we win. There is absolutely no way we can fake it."

"Now, put in the names of each of your families right here in front of you."

"Son, if I split my family, we will consider them two families. If I don't split my family, we will consider them one family!"

Everything was fine at the beginning, everyone was listening quietly.

After hearing this, many people became upset that those who had split up were considered two families, and those who had not split up were considered one family.

"How can you calculate it like that?"

“That’s right!”

"Then those who have divided the family and have several sons, won't they become rich?"

"That's right, this isn't fair!"

The rice field was suddenly bustling with noise.

Xu Zhongguo shouted twice, "Quiet, quiet."

"If you feel it's unfair, you can go back and split the family property."

This one sentence shut up those who complained about injustice.

Many families have several sons, and their grandchildren are all grown up, but they still refuse to divide the family business.

As long as the family is not divided, it will appear harmonious in front of outsiders, and the mother-in-law will appear to be dignified.

He is able to be in charge of the household, so all his daughters-in-law are obedient.

Moreover, the family never divided up, and all money and grain were shared by the public. Even eating eggs was decided by the mother-in-law.

In this case, the mother-in-law is unwilling to divide the family property.

But now the situation...

I don't want to split up the family business, but once it's split up, I'll lose my authority.

The money and grain have been distributed, and now there are jobs like this that can make money. Who would still take you, a mother-in-law, seriously?

But not...

The lot hadn’t been drawn yet, but the scene was already filled with gloom and sadness.

Xu Zhongguo and Wen Tang didn't care what they thought. In front of everyone, they threw the paper with the names on it into an enamel jar.

There are not many families in Xiangxing Brigade. Originally, there were seventeen households. Later, Xu Ancheng and his three brothers separated, and now there are twenty households.

He threw the paper with the name on it into the enamel jar, closed the lid and shook it vigorously a few times, then Wen Tang began to draw lots.

"Xu Wanguo!"

"Lin Guangshu!"

"Xu Ancheng!"

"Wang Fu!"

Those who were picked immediately grinned with excitement.
