"No...no, how...how much?" The old lady's eyes were almost as big as eggs.
"One... sixteen thousand?"
"Yeah!" Wen Tang nodded his chin proudly.
The old lady grabbed her arms with both hands and fell on her, "Tang, help me up, I feel dizzy."
Wen Tang helped the person sit down and asked with concern, "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'll get you some water!"
Zhong Meixian grabbed her hand and said, "No, no, Mom will be fine after a while."
Besides, there was no reason to ask the God of Wealth to pour tea for her. It wasn't like she was going to die of thirst in the next second.
After a pause, Zhong Meixian couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many?"
"We ordered a lot, a total of 100,000 yuan."
"My dear, we have to work hard, otherwise it will take us forever to finish it."
The old lady stood up from the stool as if she had been injected with chicken blood. "Tang, are you starving?"
"Please sit down for a while. Mom will fry two eggs for you and boil two more eggs in sugar water."
Wen Tang was surprised and said, "Mom, you didn't make it!"
Zhong Meixian “…”
"...This, this kid, look at what you said, can Mom really be that stingy?"
"Hehe," Wen Tang didn't say Zhong Meixian was stingy, but after she finished laughing, she said, "Mom, just boil two eggs for me to eat. I can't finish more if you make more."
Zhong Meixian nodded immediately, "Okay, sit and wait."
The old lady worked efficiently, and Wen Tang was able to eat the hot sugared eggs in less than ten minutes.
After being hungry all morning, Wen Tang couldn't help but sigh after eating.
Afterwards, he went to find Xu Zhongguo and discussed gathering all the team members to go to the rice field the next morning to register family members to go to work.
The next morning, Xu Zhongguo gathered the entire brigade at the rice field. Holding a tilted microphone, he announced, "I'm here today to tell you that the Gu family soap factory is officially hiring. Every household can send one female family member. Please come register with me, and you can start working for the Gu family tomorrow."
"Remember, every household, if they haven't split up, can only go to one person."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Hongmei exploded. She immediately pulled Lin Jingyao beside her and asked, "What should we do?"
"We haven't divided yet!"
Lin Jingyao also looked at his mother, and Qiu Yuefang glared at them both, "Why don't you just say you're breaking up?"
Xu Zhongguo then said, "Every household should bring their household registration booklet to register here."
Huang Hongmei angrily said, "But Jingyao is still on the same household registration as you."
Qiu Yuefang was also a little anxious now. She hadn't expected this to happen, so she could only pretend to be calm and asked, "Why are you panicking?"
"You're going to say we're splitting up later and open the account tomorrow, what's wrong?"
"You get so flustered over a small matter. What a loser."
She was quite promising. When Xu Zhongguo arrived at her house and asked her who was going to her house, she said, "Everyone is going!"
Xu Zhongguo reached out and said, "Take my household registration and register."
Qiu Yuefang smiled apologetically and said, "I'll go open the account tomorrow."
Wen Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "That means the family hasn't split up yet."
"We've separated, but our household registrations haven't been separated," Qiu Yuefang no longer dared to give Wen Tang a bad look.
Wen Tang shook his head. "That won't work. If we split up, we have to separate our household registrations. That's what other families do."
"Otherwise, if everyone is like you, just talking about it while other families are struggling to divide the family property, wouldn't that be unfair to them?"
Many people registered but didn't leave. There were also people who were waiting in line behind Qiu Yuefang's family. After hearing this, they all agreed with Wen Tang's words, "That's right. If you all go even if you don't split up, then what's the point of us splitting up?"
"Let's not split up, that's so funny!"
"that is!"
Xu Zhongguo asked again, "What do you say? Who will go?"
Huang Hongmei was afraid of being at a disadvantage, so she immediately said, "I, I, I, I'll go."
Normally, the second and third daughters-in-law of the Lin family rarely spoke, but this time...
They both immediately started shouting, "Why?"
"Exactly, why would you go?"
"Are you still the head of this family?"
"That's right, it's hilarious!"
Huang Hongmei pinched her waist with both hands and said, "Why are you yelling at me? I wanted to split up the family earlier, but it was the old woman who disagreed. Didn't you guys keep silent?"
"Why won't you let me go now?"
"That won't work either," the second son's wife also put her hands on her waist.
Huang Hongmei turned around and glared at Qiu Yuefang, wishing she could tear her apart. "Speak up, what should we do now?"
She really hated Qiu Yuefang.
How did Qiu Yuefang know what to do?
Little did she know that after being smart all her life, she would be delayed by her own little calculations when she was old.
Lin Guangqian anxiously stepped forward and asked Xu Zhongguo, "Is there no room for negotiation on this matter?"
Xu Zhongguo sighed, "Are you anxious now?"
"The entire brigade split up before the New Year, and every household had their share of divisions cleared up, but your family hasn't made any movement at all."
"Tell me what you were thinking at that time."
Lin Guangqian's face flushed red and he couldn't utter a word.
The people waiting behind were anxious, so they said, "You two should go discuss it over there, there are so many of us waiting!"
"That's right. After finishing work in the morning, we still have to go to the fields to earn work points in the afternoon. Aren't you delaying work by doing this?"
After hearing this, Lin Guangqian felt even more upset.
Other families will have a good life in the future, with some earning wages and others working in the fields to earn work points, but this family...
Lin Guangqian clenched his fist and trembled for a while, then suddenly turned around and slapped Qiu Yuefang in the face with his backhand.
Qiu Yuefang was caught off guard and slapped in the face, falling directly to the ground.
Lin Jingyao hurried to help Qiu Yuefang and asked Lin Guangqian, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"What for? I'm going to beat her up for being such a troublemaker."
Huang Hongmei's happy face turned grim upon seeing this scene. "Yes, you should beat him. Beat him hard."
Wen Tang couldn't help but sneer, "You used to be so indifferent, but now you act like the head of the family. It's hilarious."
Wen Tang was not speaking for Qiu Yuefang, but because he thought Lin Guangqian's behavior was a little funny.
Lin Guangqian originally had some "righteous and eloquent" things to say, but now...
He shut up.
He went home with his hands behind his back.
Qiu Yuefang was beaten, but this time she did not fight with Lin Guangqian, nor did she show off in front of Huang Hongmei.
Instead, he covered his face and said to Xu Zhongguo, "We will separate when we go home, we will separate when we go home."
Xu Zhongguo actually had no say in this matter, and he subconsciously glanced at Wen Tang.
Wen Tang gently waved his hands behind the table.
Xu Zhongguo said, "It's too late for you to break up now."
"Everyone has to work tomorrow, it's too late for you to divide it now!"
"Hey, tell me, what were you doing this morning?"
"How can it be too late? We can just delay the work for a day or two."
"That's right," Huang Hongmei also clasped her hands together and begged Xu Zhongguo while echoing Qiu Yuefang's words.
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were on the same front.
