Chapter 305: Who is it all for?

But for the older generation, the difference is huge!

The most obvious example is that everyone cooks their own meals, and whether they can eat their fill or have meat to eat depends entirely on themselves!

If the elderly couple still have to support them after the family splits up, they'll be pointed at and gossiped about whenever they go out.

However, none of the brothers would admit that they couldn't even support their wives and children, so they figured they could at least get enough to eat.

But Li Chunhua was thick-skinned. Seeing that her mother-in-law wouldn't budge, she turned to her father-in-law and said, "Father, Xiaobao and Jinbao are carrying on the Chen family line—"

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Dazhu slammed his pipe heavily on the table and said in a gruff voice, "This matter is decided!"

His tone left no room for negotiation.

When the brothers saw that their father had spoken, they knew that the old couple had made up their minds to divide the family property, so they could only nod in agreement.

On behalf of his brothers, Chen Jianguo stated, "Then let's do as our parents say."

Among the daughters-in-law, Zhao Mei and Liu Lanzhi were the least opinionated.

If you feel that you should separate the family, then separate the family. Anyway, you won't move out. You should continue to be filial to your parents-in-law as usual.

Moreover, their parents-in-law had considered everything for them, agreeing to separate the household only after the women finished their postpartum confinement period.

Zhou Zhaodi was still very reluctant to part with her little niece and the pheasants and rabbits she had caught, but she also knew that no matter how reluctant she was, the family had to be separated.

I just hope that my little niece will give her second wife a sip of soup when we eat meat in the future, because I usually dote on her.

Li Chunhua cursed the old couple in her heart for being biased, wanting to use the fourth son's salary to support that money-losing child!

Even if she was unwilling, this was not a matter that a daughter-in-law from another family could decide.

Fortunately, she could still let Xiaobao carry Jinbao to freeload while the old couple ate meat!

Surely the parents-in-law wouldn't be so biased as to give all the food to the poor child who is not worth the money, but not to their own grandson who is supposed to carry on the family line!

Thinking of this made her feel a little better.

Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law had accepted, Ma Xiulian said, "We will divide everything in the house into five equal parts, one for each of the five brothers, and the fourth brother's share will be used by my wife and me for now."

A fair distribution, so that no one has any complaints.

Li Chunhua immediately objected: "That won't do! We and the second wife each have two sons to raise! The eldest brother's family only has three daughters, and we don't even know if the one my sister-in-law is carrying is a boy or a girl! Let's not even talk about whether the fifth brother's child is a boy or a girl, but he earns more money as a carpenter than us. How can he share the same money and food as us?!"

Sons are much more precious than daughters. Daughters will eventually get married, but sons are meant to carry on the family line!

After saying that, he winked at Zhou Zhaodi and said, "Don't you think so, Second Sister-in-law?"

She tried to win over the second wife, who had two sons to support, and she joined them in the rebellion.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhaodi disagreed, saying, "The money in the family was earned by all of us from different branches of the family. The amount we pay to the government each year is the same, so naturally we should all get the same amount when we divide the family property."

Over the years, the work points earned by the families have been mostly consumed by their own children. The money that their parents have saved probably belongs to the elderly couple and their fourth child.

Although she loves to take advantage of others, she is also a person who cares about her reputation.

Ma Xiulian glared at Li Chunhua with an unfriendly expression, "Third brother, keep an eye on your wife."

Chen Jianye sternly rebuked, "Shut up! This is a big matter, and it's none of your business as a woman to interfere!"

Li Chunhua bit her lip, and could only shut her mouth, feeling both wronged and angry.

Who is she doing all this for?!
