"Father, mother, I have invited Grandpa Seven and Uncle Three to come over." The eldest brother Cao Fugui said to his father and mother.
When Chen Zhu saw the crowd blocking the door of his house, the smile on his face froze, and his eyes glared at his eldest son. This stupid son couldn't do anything well, and he asked him to invite the village chief and Li Zheng to come over, and he brought so many people together.
"Uncle Seven, Brother Three, please sit down, please sit down." Father Cao hurriedly put down his pipe and stood up, inviting the village chief and Li Zheng to sit down. "Ashan, what do you want to do by calling me and Uncle Seven?" As soon as he entered the yard, Village Chief Cao Agen saw the situation in the yard, and he didn't quite understand what was going on in the Cao family compound.
"Today, I have invited my third brother and seventh uncle to come here for something." Cao Adie rubbed his hands and said with a somewhat uncomfortable look on his face, "Our family is planning to split up, and we would like to invite you two to come here as witnesses."
In front of the village chief and Li Zheng, even Chen Zhu had to behave properly and asked people to stand there.
"Well, this split up is a big deal, have you discussed how to deal with it?" Most of the village affairs are managed by the village chief Cao Ageng. In fact, the two families are still from the same clan. The village chief and Cao Ashan are cousins who have not yet had five blessings. Cao Ashan still has to call Cao Ageng the third brother, and the relationship between the two families is still very close. Li Zheng
Cao Gaozhi is relatively high in the village. He is in his fifties and is not considered very old. When the younger generation sees him, they call him the seventh uncle and respect him very much. In his early years, Cao Gaozhi had read a little and was also a scholar. When he returned to Caojia Village, he served as the village head. He still had a sense of justice in his heart. However, he understood some things in the village, but sometimes he was helpless.
At this time, Cao Jia Silang was sitting there with a dejected face, and his wife and children were beside him. When they heard that the Cao family was going to split up, they understood some things at once.
"There are four big rooms and two small rooms in the compound, and there are many children and grandchildren in the family. We discussed letting the fourth brother's family live in the old house, and that piece of land will belong to the fourth brother's family. The fields at home..." Father Cao now felt that his wife's suggestion of only two acres of inferior land was too little, so he automatically added one acre of superior land, "As for the land, one acre of superior land and two acres of inferior land will be given to the fourth brother's family. There is still some grain left at home, and we will give 200 kilograms of red-brown rice to the fourth brother. The grain produced from the three acres of land will belong to the fourth brother's family in due time."
So now that there are so many fields, giving one acre will not seem too little. After all, the annual output of one mu of top-quality land is equal to that of two mu of inferior land, so this is acceptable.
Chen Zhu wanted to interrupt when he heard this, but he dared not say a word after being glanced at by his head. Isn't this too much for the fourth son's family? But now the village chief and Li Zheng, as well as the people in the village, are at his door, so he dared not say a word.
After these people leave, it's still up to him to decide whether to give it or not? Give two hundred kilograms of grain! Wishful thinking!
"Well, this is fair." The village chief Cao Agen nodded and asked Cao Jiasilang, "Do you agree with your father's division of the family?"
Lord Li Zheng also nodded, thinking that Cao Ashan's distribution was okay and fair.
"This... Dad said, Xiangnan agrees." Cao Xiangnan knew that his father gave him an extra mu of land, so his mother was dissatisfied again.
Based on his understanding of his mother, he might not be able to get the things his father gave him! What he wants to do now is to prevent the Cao family from taking back the things he gave them. What he gave them is theirs.
But what should he do now?
