The autumn harvest lasted for one and a half months. In a blink of an eye, all the work in the fields was done and the winter wheat was planted. The Donglin Brigade began the annual preparation stage for winter storage.
On the second day after the autumn harvest, Ye's father asked his eldest son to call his second brother, Ye Zhongyi, the captain of the Donglin Brigade, to his home.
When Ye Zhongyi heard that his elder brother wanted to split up the family business, he was a little surprised, because he had indeed not heard of any conflicts in his elder brother's family recently, so why would they suddenly want to split up the family business?
But looking at his elder brother's serious expression, Ye Zhongyi knew that the division of the family seemed to be true, so he didn't say anything more.
Thinking of the twists and turns that his sons and daughters-in-law had created, both openly and secretly, his mind was now filled with lawsuits.
Suddenly, Ye Zhongyi had an idea. Hey, maybe splitting up the family is really a good idea.
After helping his eldest brother divide the family property, he went back and divided the family property as well, dividing it all up, to see who dared to make trouble again.
Father Ye called his three sons, three daughters-in-law, and one daughter together and began to explain everything in the house one by one.
"Everything in our house is on this piece of paper. Let me read it to you.
First, food. We don't have much fine grain at home, only about 100 kilograms. The most we have are coarse grains, 1,000 kilograms of corn, 1,200 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 800 kilograms of potatoes.
In addition, there is cash, a total of two thousand yuan.
Then there's the house. Ours was built well, in a row, with four houses in total, which is perfect for each of the three of you. Don't bother, the house you live in now will be yours."
Then there are a few chickens and two pigs at home.
Then there are the guys who cook.
Did you hear that clearly? "
"Dad, I heard everything clearly."
"Okay, then let's officially separate.
As for the food, it was all divided into four parts: your mother, your sister, and I would get one part, and each of the three of you would get one part. Each family would get 245 catties of fine grains, 250 catties of corn, 300 catties of sweet potatoes, and 200 catties of potatoes.
As for the money at home, after deducting the two hundred yuan prepared for your sister's dowry, the remaining one thousand eight hundred yuan will be divided into four parts, each of which is four hundred and fifty yuan. Each of you three families will get one part, and the remaining part will go to your mother and me.
As for the house, as I said just now, you will live where you lived before.
Each family catches two chickens, and as for the pigs, one is handed over to the government at the end of the year, and the other is slaughtered and the meat is divided.
There are only three pots in the house, so leave us one large and one small. If anyone wants the remaining pot, just give them a discount. Leave one for us and divide the rest.
This is how the family is divided. If anyone has any objections, please raise them now. It will be too late to raise them after this."
As soon as Father Ye finished speaking, he heard his third daughter-in-law, Li Pandi, speak anxiously: "Dad, this division is unfair, why do you leave 200 yuan for my younger sister?
She is just a little girl, so one hundred dollars should be enough!
And my second sister-in-law, didn't mother already give her 400 yuan? Why should she give them so much more? This is not fair."
"Li Pandi, what are you talking about? Shut up. Dad can divide it however he wants, and he has always been fair. Don't make trouble here." Ye Haobai almost slapped his wife.
"Why can't I say anything? It's because it's unfair. That's why I have to say it." Li Pandi didn't care how ugly Ye Haobai's face was and continued to argue.
"you……"
"Okay, Third Brother, stop talking.
Third daughter-in-law, you are now asking me about fairness, right? Okay, then I, an old woman, will discuss it with you.
First, he gave the second son's wife the four hundred yuan, which was the betrothal money and the money to thank her for marrying into the Ye family despite the risk that the second son might not wake up.
In my opinion, this little money is not enough. If the second son can't wake up, his wife will have to be a widow for the rest of her life.
To be honest, none of you should be thinking about this money.
Besides, over the years, almost all the money in the family came from the allowance sent back by the second son when he was in the army. It was all the second son's money.
If you really want to divide it so clearly, then when you divide the family this time, you shouldn't divide the things, but instead you have to pay out money.
The money you used for your wedding, building your house, and raising your children all belonged to the second-in-command. How dare you say it was unfair?"
"But...but that's not what I meant. At that time, the family hadn't been divided yet, so the money earned by my second uncle should have been counted into the public account.
Besides, we've earned a lot of work points over the years!" Li Pandi still refused to give in.
"Li Pandi, shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I will divorce you and you get out of the Ye family." Ye Haobai could no longer control his temper. His wife was really too irritating.
In the years since she married into the Ye family, she really couldn't remember what she had done.
In the first year, she took advantage of being a new bride and acted cunningly and did nothing.
The next year, because she was pregnant, she blatantly did nothing. Not only did she not do anything herself, she also kept dragging him along and not letting him go to the fields to work.
Later, she finally gave birth to a child. She relied on the fact that she gave birth to the first grandson of the Ye family and almost wagged her tail to the sky. She showed off for half a year before she started to do some housework.
It was only when her child grew up that she could no longer find an excuse and had to start working in the fields to earn work points.
Judging from what she has done in the past few years, once the family is divided, she may not be able to support their family of three.
Li Pandi was shocked by Ye Haobai's mention of divorce and immediately shut up, not daring to say anything more. She didn't want a divorce. She couldn't afford to lose face. Divorce would mean being pointed at and laughed at by the villagers.
