Chapter 64: Family Division (Part 2)

Wang Guilan glared at Pang Xiujuan and said, "Old Third, wait until your father finishes speaking before you speak."

"No, Mom, wasn't what I just asked wrong?

Now it’s my eldest brother’s family and I who are dividing the family property, but why is it that when it comes to dividing the money, it becomes divided among three families?

You guys should at least give me an explanation!"

Ye Yunliang pulled her to sit down, but she stuck her head out and yelled in dissatisfaction.

Ye Jishun angrily threw the account book on the table and asked, "Why are the three families dividing the money?

Today I will tell you that I, an old man, have given birth to three sons. Isn’t this reason enough? "

Seeing that Ye Jishun was angry, Pang Xiujuan had no choice but to sit down angrily.

"You brothers, discuss it and let's divide the family business quickly so as not to waste your Uncle Jidong's time."

Ye Yunsheng and Ye Yunliang were just about to get up and go outside to discuss this matter.

Pang Xiujuan stood up again and said, "Dad, Mom, if that's the case, why don't we just keep this family together?"

Wang Guilan couldn't hold back her anger any longer. She stood up and pointed at Pang Xiujuan, saying, "Old Third, what did you say?"

"I think it's better not to divide this family!"

"You are so good, Pang Xiujuan, your father and I really respect you blindly.

Don't you have any idea why our family split up?"

"Mom, don't put all the blame on me. When did I ever say anything about dividing the family?"

"Family disgrace should not be made public. Today I am not afraid of being laughed at by your uncle Ji Dong. There are some things we need to talk about.

From the day Sulan's in-laws came to propose marriage, your nose was not a nose and your eyes were not eyes.

Your father said he would give Sulan a dowry of ten taels of silver, and you threw things around.

Do you think we are all blind? Can't we see what you do?

After all, you are not as sensible as the children.

You are the first person in our family who wants to split up. I am absolutely right."

Pang Xiujuan stopped pretending and said, "I just want to split up the family business, what's the problem?"

"Do you think we haven't thought about splitting up all these years? It's because your children are young that your father and I have been reluctant to split up in order to take care of you and the third child.

Since you mentioned Suyun's dowry, I'll settle the accounts with you. Don't you have any idea how much benefit you and the third brother have gained over the years?

There is only one laborer in your family, the third brother. In your eldest brother's family, your eldest brother, Beishan, and even Beilin can all be laborers.

Your sister-in-law, Yiqin, and Suyun must have done a lot of housework.

You've been slacking off all day long, using the two kids as an excuse."

"Mom, your calculation is wrong. Isn't Bei Xiu considered a laborer in the family?"

Wang Guilan sneered, "Fortunately, I was the one who delivered you when you gave birth to Bei Xiu, otherwise everyone would have thought you were a stepmother.

Who asked just now why the money should be divided with him and why he has become your son now?

Pang Xiujuan, I feel that it has not been easy for you all these years, that's why your father and I have spoiled you so much.

You were the one who made the biggest fuss about Bei Xiu's marriage. In order to save ten taels of silver, you would do anything against your conscience.

Do you think that only when we give you all the money in our family will you feel at ease? "

Pang Xiujuan's face turned red and white at what Wang Guilan said. She walked towards the yard in a huff, "It's just a family separation. Whoever leaves the other can't live together."

Ye Jishun was so angry that he gasped for breath. Wang Guilan patted his back to calm him down, "Grandpa, it's not worth it for us to get angry because of her.

Next year, we old couple will be able to enjoy a peaceful and happy life. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

Ye Yunsheng called Ye Yunliang, "Brothers, let's go out and discuss this. Baofeng should come with us."

Everyone in the room held their breath and sat quietly in their seats.

Zhang Juexia had been listening to the noise outside. Pang Xiujuan's actions just now really opened her eyes.

It turns out she is just that kind of person, selfish and always putting her own interests first.

The yard was extremely lively, with Pang Xiujuan and Ye Yunliang arguing fiercely.

Ye Yunliang wanted to divide the wasteland equally, but Pang Xiujuan refused to agree.

Ye Yunliang wants twenty taels of silver to build a new house next year.

Pang Xiujuan also disagreed. She didn't want to live next to the Ye Jishun couple at all.

How can the family be divided when the couple quarrels like this?

Ye Yunsheng was also annoyed by them, "Old Third, you are a man, just say it and forget it."

"Ye Yunliang, are you stupid? We just want the money. With the money, we can buy a new piece of wasteland. It's better than letting others occupy the good land and build a house on it."

Pang Xiujuan's voice was so loud that everyone in the room could hear it.

Ye Jishun sighed and looked at Ye Jidong, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm afraid our family has lost face today."

"Brother Ji Shun, I didn't expect that you have accumulated so much wealth over the years."

“Alas, part of this silver was earned by Bei Xiu from hunting.

This child is kind and righteous. When he got married, he said he didn't want anything at all."

"Bei Xiu is indeed a kind and righteous child."

Ye Jidong responded absentmindedly, looking outside involuntarily.

"Beishan, go and urge them to hurry up."

After Ye Beishan came out, Ye Yunliang felt embarrassed to lose face in front of the younger generation, so he made up his mind and said, "Stop making trouble, I will listen to you in everything, okay?"

After they entered the room, Ye Jidon picked up his pen and started writing as Ye Jishun had instructed.

The old house was given to Ye Yunliang, but the three families did not want the wasteland and asked for forty taels of silver.

When writing about the vegetable garden outside, Pang Xiujuan started making a fuss again.

She refused to agree to divide the vegetable land equally. What she meant was that Ye Yunsheng already had wasteland, and it would be enough to eat if he just planted some vegetables.

Wang Guilan stood up, slamming the table angrily. "Pang Xiujuan, are you done yet?"

Zhao Baofeng pulled Wang Guilan to sit down. She turned to Ye Yunsheng and said, "Dad, this vegetable plot is close to the old house. Let's not use it."

Ye Yunsheng nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.

"Then we'll open a new vegetable patch and make sure you have enough food to eat."

After everything was divided, there were 90 taels of silver left, which was divided equally among the three families.

Ye Jishun asked Ye Jidon to add a few more words. First, they still had to live in the old house and move in after the new house was built.

During this period of time, we still live together as if we had not split up.

In addition, after the family split up, the brothers Ye Yunsheng and Ye Yunliang had to give him a pension of 100 wen and 30 kilograms of food every month.

Pang Xiujuan asked again, "Dad, when you divided the money, you divided it into three parts. The money for retirement should also be shared equally among the three families."

Zhang Juexia stood up quickly and said, "We will do whatever Uncle and Third Uncle want. We have no objection at all."

Ye Yunliang was so embarrassed that he picked up a bench and swung it at Pang Xiujuan, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
