Chapter 7: The Division in Progress



"...It's hard to say." As soon as the marriage exchange incident came out, it was clear that the child was the lifeblood of the second son. Old Madam Song didn't want to push the issue too far. "Let's split the family, but how should we divide it?"

"If you're going to divide it, divide it fairly."

As soon as Old Man Song said this, Old Lady Song objected: "We should give more to the eldest son. We have agreed to divide the family. The second son can't make trouble anymore."

"You're wrong. How are Chengjiu and Dongchang from the old family?"

"Okay." How could the eldest grandson be bad? Old Mrs. Song loved her eldest son and grandson the most.

"Can it compare to Tianshun?"

“…”

Old Mrs. Song didn't say anything.

"You also know that we are not as good as Tianshun. In a few years, the eldest family will still need the help of us two old people, but the second family will rise. If we divide the property fairly, the second family will be more filial to us."

Old man Song finally came to terms with it and spoke a long speech, which also convinced his wife.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

——

In the room on the right, Song Jiayu stopped crying as soon as she entered the door. She was not interested in Sun Changlei at all. She caught this scene today, and the system rewarded her with a lot of good things.

[Complete the mission of catching Song Xiulan and Sun Changlei in their tryst and successfully check in with them to receive a small gift package of wedding supplies, including one pound of wedding candy, a wedding quilt made of ten pounds of cotton, a thermos with the Chinese character "喜" (happiness) on it, and six feet of red fine cloth.]

They are all relatively practical supplies. Song Jiayu thought that there would be such tasks of watching the show in the future - let her do it.

"Tianshun, I don't understand this chapter 'The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital' in the high school textbook. Can you explain it to me?" He pulled Song Tianshun to study as if nothing had happened.

Not only was their good daughter no longer sad, she was even able to laugh. This situation left her parents, Song Demin and Zhao Qiuqin, puzzled, as she had just been crying breathlessly in the main room.

[Complete the task of asking for advice on high school textbook knowledge and successfully check in with Song Tianshun to receive a high school knowledge weekly study card.]

Just as Song Jiayu was about to fall asleep, someone knocked on the door. Ms. Zhao Qiuqin came in with a worried look on her face, worried that her daughter might do something stupid that night. She asked, "Jiayu, if you have any unhappiness in your heart, just tell me. Don't keep it to yourself."

Song Jiayu poked her head out of the quilt and asked in confusion, "Mom, I'm not unhappy, and I don't feel bad." In fact, she was very happy today. She had a big melon for free, and she had money now, and she had a lot of things that were hard to buy with money. In the 1960s, there was a shortage of supplies, and you needed tickets to buy everything.

"Then why were you crying like that in the main room?" Zhao Qiuqin was still afraid that her daughter was lying to her.

"Ah? I was pretending. They say the crying child gets the milk. If I hadn't cried and been a little sad, this matter would have passed easily. I don't want to. If you don't compensate me, I will make a fuss." Song Jiayu blinked at her mother.

No matter how you look at it, those lively eyes look like fox eyes.

Zhao Qiuqin patted her daughter's forehead and said, "Don't lie to me next time. I gave birth to a little fox. Ordinary people can't handle you. I hope Jiang Baizhou can control you."

"Mom, don't worry. I can eat an extra bowl of rice every day just looking at Jiang Baizhou's face. I will never give him a cold shoulder."

"...No need, you shameless bastard. Go to sleep. I'm leaving."

"Good night, Mom!" Song Jiayu stretched out Erkang's hand.

——

In the house on the left, Song Xiulan was slapped by her biological father Song Quanqing as soon as she entered the door. She was stunned. Her two younger brothers didn't even look at her, so they had to look at their mother for help.

Wei Meihua came to her husband and said to her daughter, "Go get your father a glass of water."

Song Xiulan covered her face with her hands and went to get some water, her eyes red. Wei Meihua tried to calm her husband down, "Xiulan was wrong this time, but hasn't this also achieved our goal? With a team leader's relative as our in-law, are we afraid we won't get any benefits? The scorekeepers won't dare to deduct our work points, and we'll get good food and pork in the future. If we can control Changlei, the Sun family will have no choice but to ask for Xiulan's hand in marriage."

Song Xiulan happened to come over with an enamel cup. Song Quanqing took it and took a few sips. He was no longer so angry and said, "I am angry that she let Jiayu find out. There are so many places in the village. Is it so difficult to find a secret place? It's not a big deal."

Wei Meihua winked at her daughter to admit her mistake, and Song Xiulan had no choice but to say, "Dad, I didn't think carefully this time and did something wrong. I won't make the same mistake again next time."

"Okay, go back to your room." Song Quanqing waved his hand indifferently. He and Wei Meihua still had to discuss the division of the family tomorrow.

Song Xiulan returned to her room and lay down. Although her face hurt, she felt happy in her heart. After being reborn for so long, she was finally going to escape the fate of her previous life.

——

A big event happened in Lushan Village today. The Song family was actually going to split up. Everyone was eager to gather at the door of the Song family to listen to the latest gossip.

There were all kinds of gossips in the village, but Sun Changlei, the only one with a pale face in the crowd, could not even stand still. He hoped that the division of the Song family had nothing to do with him.

"Old Song, are you really going to split up? I've never heard you mention that before." The old village chief was of the same generation as Old Song, so he would definitely side with him. If his two sons were unfilial and wanted to split up the family, he would definitely intervene. If one son followed suit, what would become of the remaining elderly in the village? There would be no one to take care of them.

Old Man Song nodded: "In two years, Quanqing and Demin will also become grandfathers. If we don't split up, this family will be settled. It's time for them to learn to be the head of the family."

This was a legitimate reason. The two sons of the old Song family were indeed almost grandfathers. The old village chief said, "Okay, how do you want to divide the family property? Tell us clearly in person. I'll just be a witness. Write two documents about the division of the family property, and I'll just sign them."

"Excuse me, village chief. Let me first talk about our house. The east wing will be given to the eldest son, and the west wing will be given to the second son. As for the main house where my wife and I live, since the eldest son has taken care of us in our old age, when we pass away, the house will be left to the eldest son's family. Do you all have any objections?"

“No problem!”

"Let's talk about our family savings. We haven't accumulated much over the years. We only have 40 yuan in total. Fifteen yuan will be given to the eldest brother's family, fifteen yuan to the second brother's family, and the remaining ten yuan will be kept by my wife and me for our retirement. If there is any money left after I die, it will go to the eldest brother."

After saying that, Old Man Song looked at his two sons. The eldest son's face was full of displeasure, but the second son was relieved. He sighed and thought that he had indeed spoiled his eldest son over the years.

Next, all the tables, chairs, pots and pans, kitchen iron pots, firewood, food, and chickens and ducks in the house were divided up.

Basically there are three shares, one for the eldest wife, one for the second wife, and one for old man and old lady Song’s retirement.
