Old Mrs. Tian was also worried. What if she suddenly died one day? If they didn't know where the money was hidden, wouldn't all the money she had saved for so many years be in vain?
Chen Guihua lowered her head and said nothing again, but in her heart she felt that Old Lady Tian had hidden the money very well. Over the years, there were so many places that needed money, such as going to school and studying. They worried every day that there was not enough money at home. They worked hard during the autumn harvest and came back every night so tired that they couldn't even straighten their backs. As a result, Old Lady Tian just watched them work hard without saying a word. She should have told them earlier that there was so much money so that they could feel more at ease.
"Mom! What are you talking about? Li Lin and I are brothers. This is the relationship we have had since we were in the womb. How can it be bad just like that? And you are still alive. How can we two brothers separate?" Tian Lisong said.
"Yes! My brother and I are brothers for life, and I don't agree to split up the family." Tian Lisong said.
"Yes! Mom! You said they are brothers, why do you want to split up the family? There is no work, everyone can help out. If you split up the family, the relationship will no longer be the same as if the whole family lived together." Chen Guihua also disagreed with splitting up the family.
Chen Guihua is not stupid. She looks like Tian Lisong, who has the most children in the family and spends the most money on schooling. She only has one child, so she only needs to send one child to school.
But in fact, she knew it clearly in her heart. Although Tian Lisong's family spent a lot of money, Tian Lisong actually earned the most. If it weren't for the money Tian Lisong earned, their family would have trouble even having enough food, let alone sending their children to school.
Moreover, the money Tian Yuan had after going to college was basically the money he earned when he was in the army.
When Tian Tian earned money, she also bought a lot of delicious food back home, including all kinds of meat, cakes, and biscuits. Tian Tian bought them all for home, and most of those things went into her and Tian Mu's mouths.
If the family splits up, she won't be able to eat those delicious foods at all.
Moreover, although it was said that she and Lin Meiyu would each do half of the housework, Chen Guihua knew in her heart that Lin Meiyu treated her like her own sister. Sometimes, even if she was a little lazy, Lin Meiyu would not say anything but would silently help her do the work.
Chen Guihua knew all this very well. If the family was divided, even though there would be fewer people to eat, without Grandma Tian and Lin Meiyu, she would have to do all the housework, and she would be busy all day long.
There is no need to talk about anything else, just talk about the family’s vegetable garden. Chen Guihua really doesn’t get involved at all. She just goes to the garden to pick vegetables to eat.
Moreover, seeing that Tian Tian and Tian Yuan are promising people, if he doesn't take this opportunity to let Tian Mu get along well with them, when will he wait?
"We just live separately. We still have to visit each other. After all, I'm still alive. And although we are going to separate, the house has to be built bit by bit. It will take some time just to build the house, plus drying the house and buying things will take another half a year." Old Mrs. Tian sighed.
"I don't mean to force you to separate now, I just want you to be prepared that this is a matter of time."
After Old Mrs. Tian finished speaking, she took all the money on the kang and brought it in front of her.
"This 1,500 yuan is the money Tian Tian earned from digging ginseng. Tian Tian dug this ginseng by herself. Logically, the money should all be given to Tian Tian."
"Grandma! Let's divide the money among us! We are all a family. It's because you all love me that I was able to go to school all these years." Tian Tian interrupted Grandma Tian and refused.
She certainly couldn't take all the money. Now it seemed that the relationship between the two families was pretty good, but relationships were fragile in front of money. Even though the two brothers of the Tian family were outliers, Tian Tian didn't want to take the chance.
It would be best if the money were divided between the two families.
"Listen to me first!" said Old Mrs. Tian.
Tian Tian shut up.
"But you haven't divided the family property yet. As for the fifteen hundred dollars, just do as usual. Keep half for yourself and the rest for me. I'll keep it for daily expenses."
Half of fifteen hundred is seven hundred and fifty yuan. Old Mrs. Tian counted out seven hundred and fifty yuan and put it in front of Tian Lisong, "Take this money."
Apart from the work points they earned from working in the fields, they usually kept half of the remaining money for themselves and gave the rest to Old Mrs. Tian.
The money spent on buying ginseng this time was no exception.
"Even though I gave away half of it, there's still a lot of money left. I definitely can't spend it all. I plan to divide it into three parts, one for each of you two brothers and one for me."
Old Mrs. Tian divided the remaining 750 yuan into three parts, giving each person 250 yuan.
She put two hundred and fifty yuan in front of Tian Lisong and the remaining five hundred yuan in front of Tian Lilin.
"I'll give you these five hundred dollars. This old house will definitely be given to the eldest. You and your family will have to move out and build a new house. These two hundred and fifty dollars are for building your house. Don't take anything else from this house except your house. Use this money to buy something for yourself."
Old Mrs. Tian divided the remaining five hundred coins into three parts, one part for each family. She did not intend to give all the money away. She wanted to keep some for herself so that she would have peace of mind.
"I have no more money in my hand, and there is about ten yuan left in my hand. After all, we still have to live together now. I will not divide this money. I will leave it outside for us to spend together." said Mrs. Tian.
Tian Lisong and the others naturally had no objection. Chen Guihua now had so much money outside that she would not look down on the small amount of money of a dozen yuan, so she did not say anything.
"This money was unexpected. I know it's a large amount and we may not be able to earn so much money in our lifetime, but don't think you can stop working with so much money. You still have to live a decent life. You will be under a lot of pressure in the future. The children have grown up and the college entrance examination has been resumed. Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo are both good students. I think they can get into college. Who knows, I may find a city girl for you in the future. There are so many places to spend money. This money may seem like a lot, but it may not be enough in the future." Both Tian Lisong and Tian Linlin are down-to-earth people, and Lin Meiyu is also very stable. What Old Lady Tian said was actually to Chen Guihua.
