No Letting My Daughter Sit at the Table? Fine, Then No One Will Eat!

As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...

"Mother, please don't send the things back, okay?" the little voice pleaded anxiously.

Shui Qing froze and looked at her youngest son, Fan Hu.

Again? Send it back?

Why should it be sent back?

“In the past, when Father asked for things, Mother always said it would make things difficult for you at home. But as soon as Father went to the city, she would send them back to Grandma and Aunt.” Fan Hu felt increasingly uneasy thinking about the past and held his mother’s hand tightly.

He could sense that his mother was different today, but he also remembered what had happened in the past.

Shuiqing finally understood why Fan Jin had ignored her and asked about his daughter instead.

It's not that she doesn't understand; the original owner didn't have these memories, or perhaps she's only been here a short time and hasn't received all the information.

By the way, she turned to her youngest son and asked in a low voice, "Why is your second sister called Xinghui?"

Fan Hu smiled and whispered, "Mother, you forgot? Grandma said that girls don't need formal names, but Father said that daughters should also have formal names. Father gave my eldest and second eldest sisters very nice names."

However, Grandma, Uncle, and Mother all thought it was unnecessary, so only Father calls him by that name.

Shui Qing opened her mouth, but remained silent for a long time.

Then he let out a soft sigh.

In her memory, there were only two names: Daya and Erya. She never imagined that the gentle-looking man in front of her would take the time to give his two daughters such beautiful names.

She asked curiously, "Dahu, do you know what your eldest sister's full name is?"

"Yan Qiu".

Stars return, autumn is late.

Shui Qing smiled. So her second daughter was born in December, and her eldest daughter was born in September.

"They really sound beautiful. From now on, Mother will call them by their full names."

Girls, what girl doesn't like a nice-sounding name?

"That's wonderful! Eldest and Second Sisters must be very happy. Mother, you don't know how pitiful Zhao Di is. She really envies the names of Eldest and Second Sisters." Fan Hu was genuinely happy for his two older sisters.

Shui Qing looked at the little girl curled up in the corner. She already had four older brothers, yet she was named Zhaodi (meaning "brother-seeking"), which only made her seem superfluous to Fan Qiansun Jinhua's daughter.

"after"

"No, we can't divide it by number of people. That would be too unfair to my mother-in-law!"

Sun Jinhua's suddenly raised voice interrupted Shui Qing and Fan Hu's conversation, and the two looked toward the group of people discussing the division of the family property.

Although it was said to be a group of people, in reality only Fan's mother, Sun Jinhua, and Fan Jin received the plan.

"Then what do you think, sister-in-law?" Fan Jin asked calmly.

“The eldest son’s family gets one share, the second son’s family gets one share, and the mother-in-law gets one share separately; speaking of which, our eldest son’s family has eight people, while your second son’s family only has seven people, so you’re the ones who are getting a better deal,” Sun Jinhua said as she did the accounting.

Fan Jin lowered his eyelids, leisurely agreed, and casually said, "Father has passed away, only Mother remains. It is my responsibility to care for Mother in her old age and see her off in her final days."

Sun Jinhua panicked when she heard this. She insisted that her mother-in-law take a separate share for her own family!

How could I let my brother-in-law take it?

She interrupted, saying, "Your eldest brother is the eldest son, and Dazhu is the eldest grandson. It wouldn't be right for them not to take care of Mother in her old age and see her off in death."

Fan Jin frowned, looking troubled. "But what if Mother's share of the inheritance runs out, and my elder brother and sister-in-law want to send her to live with me? I..."

Sun Jinhua shook her head vigorously, repeatedly assuring everyone: "No, no, absolutely not!"

Regardless of whether Mother has money or not, or whether our eldest branch of the family has money or not, we will continue to support Mother!

She was telling Fan Jin, but she was also telling her mother-in-law.

Mother Fan looked even more relieved.

Fan Dazhu promised from the side: "Uncle, don't worry, as long as we have food to eat, Grandma will have food to eat too!"

No, even if we don't eat it ourselves, we have to give it to Grandma!
