Hearing Fu Hongxing say this, Ning Jing sighed with a hint of envy.

It's so nice to have parents helping with planning.

However, she was unaware that she was incredibly envious.

After learning about the family's separation, Tan Xiaohuan started making a scene at home.

“I don’t care. If we’re going to split up the family, then I’ll get a separate share. Otherwise, we’ll wait until I get married before we split up.”

Tan Xiaohuan stamped her feet, looked up at the sky, and cried loudly to Tan Dingguo.

Tan Qingzhou and Tan Qinghe, standing nearby, had dark expressions, and their two wives secretly curled their lips in disgust.

This sister-in-law is not only greedy and lazy, but also has a high opinion of herself.

Because she studied in the county town, she looked down on all the farmers in the countryside.

Moreover, she's a young woman, yet she's talking about getting married. If it were anyone else, they would have been utterly humiliated. How dare she stand here crying to her parents?

Tan Dingguo's face was also dark; he was furious.

"Get out of my way! I sent you to school, but you've wasted all your education."

You want to get married? Fine, but don't send me to study in the county town next spring.

"Just stay at home. Your mother will find you a marriage partner and marry you off as soon as possible."

Hearing her father say that, Tan Xiaohuan cried even louder.

Tan Dingguo slammed his hand on the table.

"Orchid, lock her in her room and don't let her eat dinner."

Xing Lanhua quickly stepped forward, pulled her youngest daughter, and led her to her room.

Tan Xiaohuan, however, was not cooperating at all, and tried to break free by waving her arms and legs.

However, Xing Lanhua, who was used to working in the fields, was much stronger and was quickly pulled out.

Seeing that his younger sister and mother had gone out, Tan Qingzhou and Tan Qinghe exchanged a glance.

Tan Qingzhou said cautiously, "Father, my third brother and younger sister are both unmarried. If we separate the family now, won't we be gossiped about by the other villagers?"

Besides, our family has always had a good reputation in the village. If we were to split up now, we would just become a laughing stock.

This family cannot be divided.

Tan Dingguo glanced at him, and when he saw him looking over, both brothers' faces tightened involuntarily.

However, their wives lacked composure and looked uneasy.

Tan Dingguo scoffed inwardly. If this family wasn't divided, their brotherly bond would eventually be ruined.

Even if the two brothers didn't have any ulterior motives, with their wives whispering in their ears, something was bound to happen sooner or later.

"Alright, since the third brother isn't back, I'll make the decision for him."

I treat all three of my sons equally well.

Both daughters received the same dowry.

Even if the family splits up, each of you must still contribute what you are obligated to contribute.

I'm still young now and don't need you to support me. When your mother and I are over 60, I won't ask for much more. At that time, each of the three families will contribute 30 yuan and 300 jin of grain every year.

As for clothes and shoes, the three of you can decide what to provide.

Upon hearing her father-in-law's words, Wang Hui and Wu He quickly began to make plans in their minds.

My father-in-law is only 51 this year, while my mother-in-law is a year older than him. (12Q)

If the mother-in-law is 60 and the father-in-law is only 59, should the money be given or not?

Should I pay out 30 or half?

The two sisters-in-law couldn't help but exchange a glance, both feeling conflicted.

This is no small sum of money. I wanted to ask, but I couldn't bring myself to ask.

Their behavior infuriated Tan Dingguo.
