The people below, whether married or not, all nodded in agreement after hearing this.

After all, this time I benefited from my uncle's help; I didn't have to contribute any manpower or money.

This province is worth five taels of silver.

It's only right to buy a set of clothes and a pair of shoes.

When the time comes, they can discuss and decide who pays and who provides the fabric!

Chen Xiaomai continued, "You three brothers all know how much grain we have left."

The amount we bought before was similar to what your second uncle's family bought, but because we gave Ye Jun's family 500 jin of coarse grains, we don't have that much left now.

You split into three, and each family takes one share.

After the division of the family property today, you can choose to move the grain away, just like the second wife. You can also take as much as you want and leave the rest with your aunt.

Also, since you're getting married in a few days, we, as your parents, can help you with the arrangements.

However, you will need to provide the food and money yourself.

So, is there any doubt about that?

"No!"

After the three brothers answered in unison, Shen Yejun, who had remained silent, asked:

"Aunt Chen, are you and your husband not living with us?"

Chen Xiaomai nodded: "Yes, we will continue to live here with your aunt."

You don't need to worry about what we eat or drink; your aunt will take care of that.

I forgot to tell you, the newly built house, like the second house, we don't manage it ourselves. You two can discuss how to divide it.

Upon hearing that her in-laws wouldn't live together, Shen Yejun felt somewhat disappointed.

She wasn't the kind of daughter-in-law who didn't want to live with her parents-in-law; she hoped that both of them could live together.

Not only will she have someone to help with household chores, but if she treats them well, they will definitely treat her well in the future.

Chi Yu's aunt had a good relationship with her parents-in-law, so naturally, they also extended their affection to her.

Now that they don't live together, she may feel more at ease, but she has to do many things herself and can't get close to her in-laws.

With these thoughts in mind, she couldn't help but wonder how she could build a closer relationship with her in-laws.

Or, after we get married, we could have a child sooner?

Her child is the eldest grandson of the third wife, so her in-laws will definitely care about him.

If you're lucky enough to have a daughter, she'll definitely be pampered by the entire Chi family, just like your aunt.

Strangely enough, in Anping County and the surrounding villages, people are afraid of having daughters.

That would make the new bride feel ashamed at home, and her parents-in-law and husband would also be unhappy.

In fact, a daughter might be called a "money-losing burden" as soon as she is born.

In contrast, in Chijia'ao, any family with a daughter cherishes and pampers her like a precious jewel, while sons are not valued.

So this is one of the reasons why she was willing to marry into this family.

At least here, if she's pregnant, she doesn't have to worry about whether it's a boy or a girl...

Chen Xiaomai didn't care what Shen Yejun was thinking; she had already taken out money and distributed it to her three sons.

After the money was divided, she said, "Our household items and the items from your original rooms, each of you can keep them."

Each person has their own hunting bow and arrows, which you can keep yourself.

But the hoes and shovels are for me and your father.

You can come and borrow it whenever you need it.

As for the pots, pans, and utensils, you can decide how to divide them yourselves; I won't interfere with that.

We'll get together later for one last meal to mark the end of our family division, and then we'll all go our separate ways.

"Tomorrow, second and third sons, you two will come with me to the North Mountain to choose wives."

When asked to choose a wife, Chi Lin and Chi Sen felt embarrassed but also secretly looked forward to it.
