Chapter 30: The Division is in Progress

"Mom, we're back. The food is in the kitchen. You two can take it back to your room to eat. Mom, I want to tell Dad something."

"What's wrong? Well, I want to move out with Tingting in the spring, but I don't agree to it. Did Tingting say something to you?"

“No, you know she’s never really made up her mind. It’s just that I’m already 22 years old and don’t have any children yet, so it’s not convenient for me to stay at home. I want to move out with Tingting.”

"Our family doesn't have much money, so how should we divide the assets?" Aunt Guo asked.

“I want to discuss with the brigade leader about approving the land at the foot of the mountain in the village for me. Then Tingting and I will start construction in the spring.”

“It’s inconvenient for the five children in the family to live with their eldest and second eldest brothers right now. If we move out, the rooms will be perfect for their children to live in.”

"Let's discuss this as a family tonight. Once a son grows up, he's no longer under his mother's control. Once he has a wife, his heart starts to wander elsewhere."

"Mom, please don't say that. We don't have any children yet. There are so many people my age in the village who don't have children."

“Although we’ve been poor these past few years, this can’t go on forever. The reason Tingting got into a fight last time was because of this incident; she couldn’t hold her head up high.”

"Alright, that's enough. Let's discuss it over dinner tonight."

That evening, everyone sat together, and Old Man Guo said, "There's something we need to discuss. Jianjun hasn't had any children of his own for so long, and he wants to separate from the family and move out. Do you have any objections?"

After thinking for a moment, the second sister-in-law said, "There's no money in the family right now. How can we build a house if we divide the property among ourselves? You don't need to worry about the second brother's family."

“Now all the children in the family live with you. After the second child leaves, this room will be given to the children in the family. They are all grown up now, so we will give them their own rooms.”

The second son's family thought about it and agreed, "That's a good idea. We can't move away. We have plenty of food at home now, and we can eat our fill. Plus, we can free up a room. It's a good deal."

“Mother, I agree,” said the second son’s wife.

The eldest son nodded in agreement, since it would be convenient to have an empty house after the two of them left. Seeing that they all agreed, Old Man Guo said, "Let's discuss how to divide the family property."

There is a total of 800 yuan in the family now. This is what your parents have saved up all their lives. We gave 400 yuan to the third son's family and gave up this house. We don't have much food.

Give 200 jin of chestnuts, 100 jin of sweet potatoes and 100 jin of potatoes, 4 bags of wild vegetables, 4 bags of corn, and 1 bag of wheat to the three young men.

“Mom, after Tingting and I divide the family property, we will give you and Dad a total of 50 catties of coarse grains or 20 catties of refined grains every year. Is that okay with 5 yuan a year?”

Okay, it's settled then. Eldest and second sons, what do you think? Parents, let's not divide it yet. The second son's wife thought to herself, "The third son gives Mom money every year, so let's not divide it yet."

When it's time to divide the food, you can get a bigger share. The eldest son's family has many boys, and when they can all eat, they don't want to divide it up.

Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Let's start building the house in the fall when everyone's not too busy. You can call the team leader over.

Jianjun was going to find the captain to be a witness, and when he went there, Tingting asked him to bring three rabbits.

Seeing Fengshou, he asked, "Fengshou, is your father home?" Fengshou was quite happy to see the three rabbits, knowing that he had come to ask for help.

"Father, Father, come out quickly, Jianjun is here."

"What's wrong? Tell me, I understand."

"Jianjun is here, let him in quickly."

"Uncle, Aunt, I've come to see you. This child comes and brings things. Rabbits are not easy to catch; this child must have put in a lot of effort."

"Junzi, what's the matter?"

"Uncle, here's the thing, we want to separate our family and are planning to build a house. We'd like you to be our witness, and we also want to get a plot of land to build a house."

"You seem to have come prepared; you must have made your choice."

"Nothing can be hidden from you. I want to choose that piece of land at the foot of the mountain, but it's a bit far away. It's okay, Uncle. It'll be quieter if it's far away. Tingting and I also want to have a child. I'm already 22."

"Alright, Uncle understands. That piece of land will be approved for you. I'll go with you now so you can witness it."

When they arrived at Lao Guo's house, they saw the family division agreement, wrote their names, and put their fingerprints on it. This marked the official division of the family property.

Tingting is extremely excited, and her mood is exceptionally wonderful.
