The work situation in the afternoon was similar to that in the morning. Chen Qiangwei and Su Lifen arrived first, followed by Aunt Li and Aunt Liu.

There were more people eating in the evening than at noon, and people kept coming until eight o'clock, but Su Lifen refused them on the grounds that the chefs in the kitchen had already gone home after get off work.

It was already 8:30 when we finished cleaning up. It was too late for everyone to get together for dinner. The lunch boxes everyone brought finally came in handy. Everyone got a lunch box of food to take home.

Manager Huang had already gone home from get off work at six o'clock. Master Pang and Master Xie were very fair in distributing food. They would not take more than they deserved due to their status, nor would they distribute food based on personal preference. Everyone got the same amount.

After the first day at work, Chen Qiangwei was generally very satisfied and felt that the atmosphere among the employees of the state-owned restaurant was quite good. Of course, the specific situation still needed further observation.

She put the lunch box in the basket and said goodbye to everyone. It was very quiet along the way. The lights on both sides of the house were turned off. She inexplicably missed Gu Anyang. If he were there, the atmosphere would definitely be more lively.

Chen Qiangwei lived a happy life, but Wang Zhaodi from Huaihua Brigade was living in dire straits.

When Old Lady Gu heard people saying bad things about Gu Anyang and Chen Qiangwei last time, she acted decisively and called the village cadres to witness the division of the property the next day.

There are a total of ten rooms in Gu Anyang's house, one for Old Mrs. Gu, one for Gu Aiguo and his wife, one for each of his five sons, one for Gu Ling'er, and the remaining two are for all the girls and boys in the family to live in.

Old Mrs. Gu, Gu Aiguo and his wife, and Gu Linger live together as one household.

Wang Zhaodi's parents and brothers immediately disagreed after hearing this. In their opinion, a girl was not qualified to live in a room, and Gu Linger's room had to be given up. As soon as these words came out, Gu Anyang caught Wang Zhaodi's brothers and beat them up.

"Our girls are very precious, unlike yours, who are all money-losing goods from head to toe."

After saying that, Gu Anyang glanced at Wang Zhaodi's mother and Wang Zhaodi, which made Wang Zhaodi's mother so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Originally, Gu Aiguo had intended to allocate the house to another after Gu Ling'er got married. However, after Wang Zhaodi's family made such a fuss, he said firmly, "This house will always belong to Ling'er. No one can touch it. If your homes are not big enough, you brothers should find a way to build your own houses."

After the houses were divided, the furniture was divided. There was actually nothing much to divide about the furniture. The furniture in each house belonged to each family. The only things that could be divided were the bowls and chopsticks. Each person got a set of bowls and chopsticks. As for the pots, chopping boards, kitchen knives, water jars and dining tables, they were left to Gu Aiguo and his wife and Old Mrs. Gu. Others had to buy them themselves.

The kitchen will be shared temporarily and will be returned to Gu Aiguo's family after seven days. They will be given seven days to build the kitchen. If it is not built, they will have to eat raw food.

There are also chickens at home. Each household gets one. After getting one, everyone marks the chickens themselves to avoid getting them mixed up and causing disputes.

Next came the farm tools. There were only so many, so it was impossible to give everyone a set. We had to draw lots: you get a hatchet, I get a sickle; you get a pair of shoulder poles and baskets, I get a hoe; you get a shovel, I get a pair of dung buckets...

The last part is what everyone is looking forward to the most - dividing the money!

Liu Jinhua took out all the money in the family. Part of this money was the monthly subsidy from the eldest son Gu Andong and the fourth son Gu Anbei, and half of the monthly salary that Gu Anyang gave them after working for more than a year. Adding that to the money she earned from her usual work, it was a considerable amount.

Gu Aiguo said, "This money must be reserved in three parts. One part is for your grandmother's retirement. The money that the fourth child sends home every month clearly states that half is for his grandmother. One part is reserved for the fifth child's wedding money, and one part is for Ling'er's dowry. The rest can be divided equally."

Wang Zhaodi and her family stared at the pile of money. They felt anxious after hearing what Gu Aiguo said, but they did not dare to jump out to object when they thought of their brothers who were beaten up by Gu Xiaowu.

In the end, each household received a total of 123.7 yuan.

Holding more than a hundred yuan in her hand, Wang Zhaodi felt a little elated. However, before she could feel elated enough, her parents and brothers swarmed over her like dogs seeing shit.

Gu Annan was smart. Seeing this, he took the money in his hand. Wang Zhaodi's family was unhappy and said that since her family came to support you to split up the family, they had to prepare a good meal for you.

What makes a good meal? It has to have both fish and meat, and you can eat as much meat as you want.

After eating everything up, Wang Zhaodi's parents looked at her lovingly and said that she was the most filial among all their daughters. They praised her until her cheeks blushed. Then they changed the subject and said that it was not easy for the family to have no food to eat, and everyone was so hungry that they looked pale and thin. They asked Wang Zhaodi to lend them some money to make ends meet and would pay her back as soon as they recovered.

Wang Zhaodi has been neglected since she was a child, and she longs for her parents' recognition and love. The combination of punches from Wang Zhaodi's parents made her think that she had an aura of 1.8 meters and that her parents' family could not survive without her.

She asked Gu Annan for money but failed and almost had a falling out with him. In the end, she gave the two dollars she had saved with great difficulty to her parents.

Wang Zhaodi's parents immediately turned hostile after taking the money, saying that they were a waste of money and only gave them two dollars after dividing so much money. They then left with the food and the money, cursing at them.

Gu Annan looked at Wang Zhaodi as if she were a fool, and at the same time, he became more clear in his mind that the money had to be kept by him, otherwise this family would sooner or later be lost to Wang Zhaodi's parents.

Wang Zhaodi and Gu Annan have two sons and two daughters, a son at the head and tail, and a daughter in the middle. The eldest son is nine years old, at the age when people hate him. The youngest son is just over one year old and less than two years old and cannot be left alone. The two daughters are six and three years old respectively.

Before the family split up, everyone worked together to do the housework. Xie Dani was diligent, and her three daughters took care of the sweeping the floor and feeding the chickens. Her two younger children were taken care of by the older ones, so she usually just cooked and washed dishes. Compared with other daughters-in-law, her job was very easy.

But the disadvantages became apparent once the family split up. Gu Annan was the kind of person who could even pretend not to see a fallen broom and step over it. Her eldest son was nowhere to be seen every day, and there were a lot of chores waiting for her to do at home.

Want to enslave the eldest daughter? Influenced by her parents-in-law, the eldest daughter did not think that girls were just money-losing goods. She also had a strong personality and, under the pretext of taking care of her younger siblings, she completely rejected the work assigned to her by Wang Zhaodi.

Wang Zhaodi was busy with housework, private plots, and work every day. The most uncomfortable thing was that Gu Annan was very wary of her. Every time he asked for money to buy something, he would be precise to the cent, for fear that she would not be able to get the money and would secretly give the money to her parents' home.

Only a few days after the separation, Wang Zhaodi felt physically and mentally exhausted, and a feeling of remorse arose in her heart. She regretted that she should not have made a fuss about separating the family.
