This funeral has not been demolished yet, and another funeral is about to be held.
This is also a strange thing.
The eldest brother carried the body of Grandma Wen back home. When the guests learned about this, they were all surprised. They never expected that Grandma Wen would die in this way.
At this time, the mourning hall had been dismantled, and the door panels were lifted out, and Wen's mother-in-law was placed on it. Several sisters-in-law cried for the deceased, and then the monks played music. The guests had a banquet and paid their respects before they dispersed.
This time, Wen Zhichao didn't seem to be in the mood to make a fuss. His mother-in-law's funeral was far less grand than that of his husband's. Some people speculated that it was because Wen Zhichao was resentful of his own mother because she gave him white hair.
Xia Ruzheng found it funny. If he really had any grievances, why would he have sent back such large sums of money over the years?
Everyone was so exhausted by the funeral of the Wen family father-in-law that they were a little listless at the funeral of the Wen family mother-in-law. After a hasty three-day rest period, the Wen family mother-in-law was finally buried.
Seeing the wreath on the grave of Eunuch Wen still fresh, everyone sighed.
It was quite unlucky for the Wen family to have to hold two funerals at once.
In the afternoon, after the mourning tent was dismantled and the tables and chairs were delivered, the Wen family's house suddenly returned to its former appearance, as if the two funerals were just a dream.
After finishing his work, Wen Zhichao went back to his room and fell into a deep sleep. Xia Chunfu took the two children to his home and let the young couple have a good sleep first, and then take care of the children after they recovered their energy.
Everyone was tired, so most people slept in the afternoon until dark at night.
When Xia Ruzheng got up, Wen Zhichao had already gotten up.
"My eldest brother will preside over the division of the family property later. We will pick up the children and return to Guangzhou tomorrow."
Xia Ruzheng was a little surprised: "Didn't their parents let them separate yet?"
Wen Zhichao said, "Even though we've separated, we still eat together. Mom and Dad couldn't bear to see the whole family busy. And we brothers wouldn't want to push them, right? So we've been living this way. This time, we'll separate according to Mom and Dad's wishes, and we'll each live our own lives from now on."
Xia Ruzheng nodded. He didn't have to worry about the lives of Wen Zhichao and his brothers anyway, because they had all built their own houses and their children were grown up. As long as they worked honestly, their lives would definitely not be too bad.
Several sisters-in-law cooked and the whole family sat together to eat. The children also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so after dinner they all went home to watch TV, not daring to disturb the adults.
Several brothers and their wives sat together.
Wen Zhichao said, "Brother, you are the eldest, you should take charge of this matter! This family was originally inherited by you."
The eldest brother glanced at the other brothers and saw that no one objected. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, then. Mom and Dad have already divided the property. Everyone has their own house, so there's no need to divide that. Let's divide the land. Our village divides the land according to the number of people, so we'll do the same. From now on, everyone will do their own work. If anyone needs help, just let us know. Of course, brothers will also contribute to the wages. Next, let's divide the cattle, farm tools, and other things. Oh, and we have some newly harvested rice from the double harvest at home, so we'll share some of it."
Wen Zhichao said, "None of this has anything to do with me, so you can discuss and divide it among yourselves. But I will still occupy my family's land. Even if my old house collapses, I won't give it to anyone else. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want."
Several brothers nodded, but the second brother was a little dissatisfied: "Why is it empty when you are not at home? You might as well share it with us."
Wen Zhichao said, "Okay, then you guys tear down the house first, and we'll repaint it, and I'll build a house too, how about that?"
Several brothers chose their own places to build their houses. Of course, Wen Zhichao also had one, but half of it was occupied by the second brother. Therefore, the second brother's house was bigger than that of his other brothers, also because the two elders of the Wen family gave him money later.
The brothers knew Wen Zhichao had the skills to build a house with just a little money and a hired help. However, their house had been built with great difficulty, so they certainly didn't want to tear it down. So they all advised the second brother, "Your house is so big, why are you still fighting over it?"
"Zhichao is also a brother of the family, so of course he can occupy a piece of land."
"Don't be too greedy. If you want to rob the house, we have no objection, but we don't want to."
Now that the parents are no longer holding them back, everyone is much more relaxed. Usually, the parents favor the second son's family, and now they are trying to get back at him.
The second brother was speechless after being criticized and could only shut up awkwardly.
Because the family rented a fish pond this year, everyone continued to raise the fish in the pond. At the end of the year, after selling the fish and collecting the money, everyone will divide it equally.
"I think it's better to do this: brothers take turns every day, and whoever's turn it is has to go and get grass for the fish. Otherwise, some people work more and some less, but they get the same pay. It's very unfair."
Everyone thought about it and agreed. In fact, this was mainly directed at the second child's family. The second child's family was the lazy and greedy. They wanted to eat the best and the most, but did the least when doing things. That's why everyone has been disgusted with it for a long time, but they didn't think of it this time.
The second brother's family felt that Wen Zhichao was targeting them and were unhappy. Was it necessary to remember such a small matter for so long?
Finally, the eldest brother said, "When the wives and I were cleaning the old man's house the other day, we found out that he had a passbook with tens of thousands of yuan in it. Brothers, why don't you divide it up? Zhichao, don't refuse it. It's Dad's stuff. Everyone has it. Even if you have a lot of money, this is Dad's gift, right?"
