"dad."
Lu Cheng shouted, but before he could say anything, Lu Rongjiang raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Your mother and I have already discussed this matter. We will separate the family property when you get married. Don't say anything else."
There is no such thing as a quarrel in life without quarreling. Let's make use of the friendship we have now and avoid hurting each other's feelings after the separation. In the future, we can all lend a hand if anyone has any problems.
If the friendship is lost over time and brothers become enemies, it will be a waste of time.
Lu Rongjiang rummaged through the kangqin, pulled out a work manual, and began flipping through it page by page.
"I have kept a record of the family's income and expenditure over the years. My eldest son joined the army early and paid the most money home.
Except for the five yuan I sent home every month during the first two years, after I was promoted to platoon leader in the third year, I sent 40 yuan every month..."
Lu Rongjiang first talked about how much they kept from the money Lu Yuan sent back and how much they gave to Xue Jing, then talked about how much Lu Cheng paid every month, and then talked about Lu Chang.
"Although the second son never paid any money home, he and Lijuan worked honestly over the years and earned a lot of work points, and they also worked hard at home and outside.
The money you paid was all saved, but the food that the second brother and his wife earned from their work points was all eaten.
So I will try to divide this family as fairly as possible. You guys should bear with whoever suffers and whoever takes advantage.
In recent years, apart from building a house, the family has not had any major expenses, just the daily necessities of life.
The second child borrowed 400 yuan to buy a job, paid back 80 yuan, and still owed 320 yuan.
We now have 1,369 yuan in cash, plus the 320 yuan owed by the second child, a total of 1,689 yuan.
The eldest son gets 700, the fifth son gets 500, the second son gets 300, and the remaining 189 is the retirement money for your mother and me.
We are still able to move now, so we don't need your filial piety. When the day comes that we can no longer move, you three brothers will provide for us according to the village's pension standards.
The food in the house was distributed according to the number of people.
We only have these two pots at home. If you don’t set up your own stove, you can take turns cooking. The bowls and chopsticks will be divided according to the number of people.
Each family can only raise three chickens. Now each of your three families can raise one chicken. If you want to raise more, you can catch the chicks and raise them yourself.
You will each live in your own room in the house, and all the things in it will belong to you.
These are all we have at home. What are you dissatisfied with?"
Xue Jing spoke first, "Dad, I'll listen to you."
Tang Lijuan also said, "Dad, we have no objection."
Qin Anning didn't care, "Dad, I'll do as you say."
"That's it, Lao Wu, you write a document and our family will split peacefully. No witnesses are needed."
The main reason is that he doesn't want to show off how much money his family has.
His family's life was already something that the villagers envied. If they knew that his family was rich, they would come to borrow money from one family and another. Should he lend them the money or not?
After Lu Cheng finished writing the documents for the division of the family property, everyone signed and put their fingerprints on them, and the family property was divided.
After returning to the house, Qin An Ning gave the money to Lu Cheng, "My parents must be feeling bad after the family split up. Go and give this money to them and tell them that this money is a gift from the two of us to honor them.
We don’t want the chicken either, let’s give it to our parents.”
A good man will not eat the food of a divided family. They have everything they need, so there is no need to be stingy with the elderly.
She also felt that after dividing it this way, the old couple got too little.
However, both of her sisters-in-law had expressed their opinions at that time, so she couldn't say anything more.
"Wife, you are so nice." Lu Cheng held Qin An Ning's face and kissed her.
He was thinking of discussing with Ningning about giving his parents some money every month, but he didn't expect Ningning to just take the money for the division of the family business.
"Oh, that's annoying. Go quickly. Mom and Dad will be asleep soon."
Lu Cheng took the money and went to the east room happily.
Wang Qiufen was making the bed, and when she saw Lu Cheng coming over, she asked, "Why are you here if you're not going to sleep?"
"Here, your daughter-in-law gave it to you. She said we don't want the money from the division of the family property, so we'll give it to you as a filial piety." Lu Cheng stuffed a stack of large unity coins to Wang Qiufen.
Wang Qiufen was stunned. What did she hear?
Ningning doesn’t even want the 500 yuan for the division of the family property?
"Is this kid stupid? How can he refuse money?" Wang Qiufen muttered, put on her shoes and went to find Qin An Ning.
Lu Cheng didn't chase after her, but sat on the kang and played with Paner.
Wang Qiufen put the money on the kang as soon as she entered the room. "Ningning, are you stupid? Who would be like you, pushing so much money away?"
"Mom, why did you send it back?"
Qin An Ning stuffed the money into Wang Qiufen's hands again, "Mom, Lu Cheng and I are not short of money. This money is to honor you and Dad, so don't argue with me.
You know we're not short of money, but you're just showing your filial piety and you're not accepting it. Do you think it's too little?"
Five hundred yuan is not enough. Even if you sell her by weight, she is not worth that much money.
Wang Qiufen knew that Qin An Ning said this on purpose. She moved her lips for a long time but didn't know what to say. Anyway, she felt warm in her heart.
When people get old, they are afraid of being disliked by their children. It is better to have a good daughter-in-law than a good son.
Wang Qiufen came back dazed and holding the money.
Lu Cheng laughed at her, "I gave it to you but you didn't want it, and you had to make a trip. You didn't give it away!
Ningning said that she would give you the chicken as well. You can eat the eggs laid by the chickens you raise, and don’t keep them in storage.
The money you have is enough for both of you to spend, so stop skimping on your mouth."
Knowing that they wouldn't listen even if he told them, Lu Cheng still couldn't help but nag them.
People of their age are used to being frugal, and they are reluctant to eat good food every day. It is better for him to buy more.
Lu Cheng returned to the room, drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and went to have an in-depth conversation with Qin An Ning.
