The three Huang siblings didn't think anything of it, and Huang Eryuan and his family didn't seem surprised either.
Because they probably knew why Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi had divided things this way.
Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun shook their heads: "No problem."
Huang Qinqin did not express her opinion, because as the biggest beneficiary, it would be inappropriate for her to express either agreement or opposition.
Although Grandpa Huang and the others were surprised, they didn't say anything. After all, they were mainly acting as witnesses, and how to divide the spoils was up to them.
The ones who were truly surprised were Xu Junhui, Wang Yingxue, and Mu Shengnan.
Although Wang Yingxue felt that Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi were a bit biased, she thought that Huang Qinqin had always been good to her.
Moreover, when Huang Jianguo first started his side business, it was Huang Qinqin who lent him money to support him.
So even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't say anything. Instead, she obediently nodded along with Huang Jianguo, indicating that she had no objections.
Xu Junhui was so shocked by Huang Eryuan's words that he almost choked.
He originally thought that he and Huang Qinqin would just be outsiders, mere background figures, but who would have thought that Huang Eryuan's first words would be so frightening.
At the same time, Xu Junhui realized once again just how high Huang Qinqin's status was in the Huang family.
It wasn't because Huang Eryuan said he would give Huang Qinqin the lion's share, but because after Huang Eryuan said it, no one in the Huang family felt it was wrong.
Xu Junhui even saw the expressions on Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun's faces—expressions that were only natural.
Honestly, if Xu Weiguo were to divide the family property in the future and give the lion's share to Xu Hongxia, Xu Junhui felt he certainly wouldn't be so indifferent.
Mu Shengnan's face was expressionless, but instead of immediately echoing Huang Jianjun's opinion, she asked with confusion, "Dad, Mom, may I ask why we divided it like this?"
Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan both thought it was normal for Mu Shengnan to be puzzled.
It would be abnormal if Mu Shengnan behaved as quietly as Wang Yingxue.
"That's right, Shengnan, as you know, there are five of us in my family, and we're all factory workers."
"But before Qinqin graduated, only your father and I had jobs in our family."
"Because of some family troubles and financial difficulties, Jian Guo and Jian Jun only completed junior high school and did not continue their studies."
“In recent years, the steel mill has recruited workers, but only those who have graduated from high school can apply, so they have not been able to work.”
"It wasn't until Qinqin graduated that she happened to be recruiting for the steel factory twice in a row."
"After passing the exam twice, she chose to give the job to her two older brothers, and only accepted a token amount of money."
At this point, Chen Zhaodi noticed the expressions on Wang Yingxue's and Mu Shengnan's faces and saw that their brows had relaxed considerably.
Relieved, he continued, "And as you know, the neighborhood committee used to only encourage people to go to the countryside, not mandate it."
“But since last year, they have been forced to go to the countryside. At that time, Qinqin risked going to the countryside to give them the job, so we felt that we needed to give Qinqin some compensation.”
"Yingxue may not know how difficult it is to find or buy a job in the city these days, but Shengnan, you should know a little bit about it, right?"
Mu Shengnan nodded: "Yes, because the policy of sending people to the countryside is being enforced more and more strictly now, so the minimum price for a job is seven or eight hundred to a thousand yuan."
"And even if you have money, you might not be able to buy one, because there are only so many jobs, but there are even more people who want to buy jobs."
Mu Shengnan knew beforehand that Huang Jianjun's job was found for him by Huang Qinqin, but she didn't know that Huang Jianguo's job was also found by Huang Qinqin.
Moreover, Huang Qinqin didn't give them jobs because she was certain she would have more work.
Mu Shengnan carefully checked the time and discovered that Huang Qinqin must have found a job after getting married.
Although Chen Zhaodi and the others didn't say it, Mu Shengnan could draw this conclusion from the opening date of the department store.
To be honest, Mu Shengnan now admires Huang Qinqin quite a bit. Many people, even if forced by their parents, might not be willing to give up their jobs.
And it happened twice.
Mu Shengnan didn't have much contact with Huang Qinqin. Her biggest impression of her was that she was quirky and clever, and that she was like a sweet dumpling with sesame filling.
But now that I think about it, it's no wonder that Huang Qinqin was able to get both her husband's and her own family to treat her so well.
She's beautiful, capable, and considerate of her family so much. If you were in her shoes, wouldn't you treat her well?
"Mom, I have no problem with it either. Let's divide it according to your wishes."
After hearing Chen Zhaodi's explanation, anyone with a modicum of conscience would have no objection to this allocation.
After Mu Shengnan agreed, Chen Zhaodi asked Huang Eryuan to continue explaining how their other belongings and retirement benefits would be distributed.
"Since there are no problems, I'll continue."
"Of the remaining 367 yuan, your mother and I will take 67 yuan, and you two brothers can each take half of the remaining 300 yuan."
As Huang Eryuan spoke, he asked Huang Jianguo to write it down with paper and pen.
"There's also the issue of housing. The house we live in now was allocated to Jianguo by the factory. Your mother and I actually only have one old house."
"Since there's only one unit, it wouldn't be appropriate to give it to anyone. So your mother and I decided that we'll keep the house for ourselves and not give it to anyone else."
"After we leave, you can sell the house and split the money equally among the three siblings."
"The rest is about retirement. Your mother and I are still able to work, so we don't need you to give us money."
"After your mother and I turn fifty-five, each of you three siblings will give us five yuan a month as retirement money. Is that alright?"
Huang Eryuan mainly asked Xu Junhui whether there was a problem with this.
He knew his own child well; he certainly wouldn't be unwilling to give even five yuan a month for retirement. But Xu Junhui might be a different story.
Because no family's daughter needs to support her parents in their old age after she gets married.
But the Huang family is different. Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi never thought that Huang Qinqin would become an outsider after she got married.
Whether it's the rooms in the house or the division of the family property, they treat everyone equally.
Huang Qinqin received a share of everything, but she also shared the responsibility.
Huang Qinqin also turned slightly to the side, wanting to hear how Xu Junhui would answer.
But no matter how Xu Junhui answers, Huang Qinqin will definitely provide this retirement money.
She is her parents' daughter. They raised her when she was young, and she will take care of them in their old age.
"Junhui, after Mom and Dad retire, how about we give them five yuan a month for their retirement?"
"I think there's something wrong."
