Zhou Youfu shut up.
He could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.
“Village chief, since you’re here today, my second brother and I will make things clear in front of you. We’re dividing the family property. Originally, half of everything from the Zhou family’s property will be given to us, along with the land.”
The village chief sighed and asked Zhou Youfu, "Tell me in detail what the Zhou family originally owned."
Zhou Youfu was not going to agree to divide the spoils.
He started crying and feigning pitifulness, "Village chief, my family is poor! Ever since Zhuangzhuang was born, our expenses have increased, and now we don't have a single penny left!"
The old lady was too lazy to argue with him about the details. "We can do without the rest, but you must give us one of the two plots of land belonging to the Zhou family!"

"You can have the land next to the grave, or you can have nothing at all!"
Qin was dissatisfied, but the old lady pulled her aside and nodded, saying, "Alright, after the family is divided, I'm telling you in advance, if you dare to come to our house again and covet our things, then don't blame your old mother for kicking you out!"
"Mother, dear mother, I've given you the land, and my wife is dead. You and my eldest son's wife should at least compensate me with something, right?" Zhou Youfu was still unwilling to give up.
Those are ginseng and lingzhi, worth at least several hundred taels of silver. With those several hundred taels, he won't have to worry about food and drink!
That old hag, she thinks about dividing the family property as soon as she gets something good. Fine, divide it then, but if she won't give it to him, he'll steal it!
