When Ye Caiping opened her eyes, she was a divorced woman cast out of her husband's home, with her sister-in-law sharpening her knife at her. It's not that the sister-in-law wouldn't to...
"Really? Does that mean we'll have to separate the family?"
Uncle Ye said, "Don't separate them yet. Our grandchildren are still too young. Let's build a big courtyard first, like Cai Ping's, with one or two courtyards."
He owns four shares in the furniture workshop, so they won't be divided. If they were to be divided, those shares would have to be split.
Ye Caiping said, "In addition to the first and second courtyards, we can add a side courtyard. Second Uncle can think of it as a large courtyard house surrounding a smaller one. Three or four courtyards together. Then each room will have its own courtyard, how comfortable that would be."
"Each courtyard will have a door. If the family decides to split up someday, they can just block the door."
Uncle Ye's eyes lit up: "That's good. Anyway, the house we live in now isn't our ancestral home, so we can buy a bigger plot of land to build on. Two acres should be enough."
Grandma Ye asked, "Is there enough money?"
"Don't worry, it's enough. We've already split the accounts this month, so we have over fifty taels! Plus the money Sanquan got for building the outhouse a while ago, and Siquan and Wuquan's wages, that's over sixty taels."
"If that's not enough, there will be a share of the profits next month. Once the house is built, Hu Fen can live in the same courtyard as us."
The family is now wealthy, and since Hu Fen has no son, none of her daughters-in-law dare to look down on her, mainly because this old man holds the money.
After Xiaoyan gets married, her grandsons will take care of Hufen in her old age.
Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye had absolutely no intention of remarrying Ye Hufeng.
Because Ye Hufen's appearance makes it impossible for her to marry into a good family, those who are willing to marry her are only after her strength and want to take her home as their servant.
Now that we have money, there's no need for our daughter to marry and become a slave.
