"Mom, how about I step aside for a while?"
She was a new daughter-in-law, so it was not easy for her to get involved in this matter. However, Zhan's mother held her hand and said, "You have already married into our family and are also a part of the family. Sit here and listen!"
There was no way, Tang Qiyue could only sit down.
"We only have this one house. The three rooms on the east side will be left for me to live in during my old age, and the three rooms on the west side will be for my eldest family. When the time comes, we'll build a wall in the middle, and my eldest family will have their own little home."
As soon as Zhan's mother finished speaking, the eldest daughter-in-law became anxious.
"Mom, what do you need so many rooms for?"
She has always been thinking that the house belongs to her. Besides, she will not have only one son. What will she do if she has children in the future?
Brother Zhan yelled, "Shut up and listen to our mother!"
The house was built with money raised by Zhan's mother. Originally, only three rooms on the west side were built, and the three rooms on the east side were added with money sent back by Zhan Zeye.
He hardly did any work, how dare he care about my house?
Zhan's sister-in-law couldn't accept this. She would rather be despised by her husband than say, "It's your business if you don't fight. My brother-in-law is capable and has the house allocated by the army. Chunying will get married sooner or later, but what about you? What are you capable of? All you know is to carry heavy bags every day. Can you build a house or anything like that just by carrying heavy bags?"
Brother Zhan's eyes were red, but he also knew that his wife was telling the truth. It was because he knew it was the truth that he became even angrier.
"I'll build you a new house even if it means I die of exhaustion. Can you please stop thinking about things that don't belong to you?"
Perhaps it was because Brother Zhan, who rarely got angry, scared his wife, so Sister-in-law Zhan wiped her tears and sat back without saying a word.
This scene made Tang Qiyue sigh.
She didn't expect to face this kind of scene, but fortunately she was just a spectator.
"My dear wife, please don't do this. I will never give you this house on the east side unless I die one day!"
Zhan's mother's tone was very cold. She was able to raise three children as a widow and also arrange a marriage for her son. She must be a capable person and her mind was definitely not confused.
"Chunying is not yet an adult, and it will take two years for them to get married. She must stay with me. Although Xiaoye has been in the army all year round, this is also his home. Does he have to go out and rent a house to live in when he comes home to visit his family?"
Zhan's mother doesn't spoil the eldest daughter-in-law.
Brother Zhan could see that my mother was angry, his lips trembled, and he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Mom, I'm confused. I'll divide it however you say. Anyway, you must follow me!"
Zhan's mother snorted coldly: "You must take care of me in my old age and see me to the end, but I am in good health now, and I won't follow anyone. When Chunying gets married, whoever is filial to me will be my wife. Don't be in a hurry to express your opinion!"
Zhan Zeye didn't want any of the household items, as he couldn't use them either. Zhan's mother didn't give him any of them, but gave them all to his elder brother Zhan, leaving only money.
"This is all the money we have at home. I divided it into four parts: one for the eldest brother, one for Xiaoye, one for Chunying, and one for me. If anyone wants one, don't complain if it's too little!"
Seeing that her two sons had no objection, Zhan's mother asked Zhan Chunying to call the director of the street office and ask him to be a witness and write a certificate, and the family was considered divided.
But in the end, Zhan's mother reminded him: "When Chunying gets married, you two brothers must each contribute a little. Can you all do this?"
Brother Zhan and Zhan Zeye both nodded in agreement.
At this point, the division of the Zhan family came to an end without any drama or chaos. It shows how important it is to have a fair elder.
Although they had separated, they still ate together. After all, Zhan Zeye would be returning to the army soon, so they wouldn't be able to eat many meals together.
"Okay, you're still injured. Go lie down inside and rest. You still have to take your wife home tomorrow. You can't be so sick that people laugh at you!"
Zhan's mother drove away Zhan Zeye and Tang Qiyue, and then looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with a stern face.
"Old man, you've disappointed me today. Can't anyone see through your little tricks? Xiao Ye isn't stingy, and his wife isn't short-sighted either. As long as you treat me well, the gifts they give me will ultimately benefit you."
Zhan's mother poked the eldest son's wife on the forehead, expressing her disappointment in her ability to learn from her.
Back then, our family was poor, and we only wanted to find a wife for our eldest son. We didn't expect her to be too good-looking, and we thought of marrying her and teaching her ourselves. But it was really hard to change this petty-minded girl.
The eldest daughter-in-law was feeling aggrieved, but when she heard that her mother-in-law was still biased towards their family in private, the aggrieved look on her face instantly disappeared and she rubbed her hands in embarrassment.
"Mom, I'm stupid. If you could scold me, I won't be so stupid again!"
After all, she was her daughter-in-law whom she had been with for many years. Zhan's mother sighed, thought about taking things slow, and let her go.
Without talking about how Zhan's mother educated her eldest daughter-in-law and asked her to prepare gifts for her younger daughter-in-law to return home, let's talk about Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye who returned to the house.
The two of them were really unfamiliar with each other, and Zhan Zeye was not the kind of person who would let himself be wronged. He leaned on the bed and watched Tang Qiyue pack her dowry.
The Tang family was quite generous and prepared a fairly generous dowry. Even Tang Qiyue was not familiar with it. After all, no one had given her any treasures. At this moment, she was just checking the dowry list.
"Your father has invested a lot of money. What benefit does he want from me?"
Tang Qiyue was watching intently when a voice suddenly popped up from behind Zhan Zeye. Tang Qiyue thought for a moment and said, "The Tang family wants to get in touch with the leader behind you to protect the Tang family's property that is in danger!"
Zhan Zeye laughed, and his laughter was full of sarcasm.
"The old leader is not senile!"
Tang Qiyue also knew this, otherwise she would not have seen the Tang family quickly fall apart after the death of the first life, all of Tang's father's little calculations came to nothing, and all the things given with the help of Tang Qiyue's dowry were handed over to the country by Zhan Zeye.
Thinking about handing it over to the country, Tang Qiyue's face changed, and she looked suddenly at her dowry box.
Maybe because she stared at the box for a long time without moving, Zhan Zeye noticed something unusual.
"What? Do you regret it?"
But just as he finished speaking, Tang Qiyue suddenly turned around and grabbed Zhan Zeye's arm, with excitement shining in her eyes.
"Zhan Zeye, is your army short of money?"
Even if Zhan Zeye was jumping around, he didn't expect Tang Qiyue to say such a thing. He didn't lie to her and nodded subconsciously.
Besides, which army doesn't need money? Funds are so limited that they need to be self-reliant.
Tang Qiyue was even more excited: "If I donate a large sum of money to your army, can you guarantee that my brother's political review will pass 100%? As long as he can successfully finish college!"
No matter how stupid Zhan Zeye was, he could hear something was wrong. He sat up from the bed and stared at Tang Qiyue with sharp eyes.
"You'd better tell me the truth. What are you planning?"
