"We don't have to divide the family, but--" The old lady changed her tone.
"The eldest family is at fault for this matter. She's still throwing tantrums and insulting the Lin family. I won't forget it! You don't have to divide the family, but you have to hand over power!"
The old lady tried hard to repeat what Lin Yin taught her.
"Hand over power?" Shen Hongyan, who had never been to school, really didn't understand what these two words meant.
But An Xin had read books, so after listening to it, her brows relaxed, she took a deep breath, and her complexion looked much better.
"That's right, it's about handing over power." The old lady looked at Shen Hongyan: "You are always lazy and don't work. Xiaoxin and Xiaofeng are not like you. If we don't separate this time, you, as the eldest sister-in-law, must have an attitude and work in the fields! And cook and wash dishes, don't think about being lazy!"
Because Mr. Lin died early, only the old lady was left in the family. However, the old lady was old and sometimes she was unable to do anything, so the eldest sister-in-law Shen Hongyan naturally became the one in charge of the family.
Usually, Chen Hongyan is lazy and likes to eat. When it comes to work, she always finds various excuses to slack off, so all the work is done by the second and third wives.
The old lady doesn't want to care about the past, but since she doesn't want to split up the family, then fine, starting today, you must go to the fields to work, and none of the three daughters-in-law can be partial to each other!
Sure enough, Shen Hongyan's face looked ugly.
However, the old lady had another trick up her sleeve.
"Besides, you said you wanted to save money for your two children's weddings, and you gave all the money Xiaodong and Xiaotong earned to you. Now you have to give it to the old lady. Since you want to live a good life, why are you still holding on to the money? As a mother, I'm not partial. Xiaoxin and Xiaofeng don't manage the money, so how can you take the money? If outsiders hear about it, they will think I'm partial to the old lady!"
The old lady was right, she was indeed trying to seize power.
In the past, Shen Hongyan lived a very carefree life. Not only did she hold on to her money, but she also spent eight out of ten days at home, eating and drinking, and not going out to work. Whenever she had free time, she would chatter with the old women in the village.
If she has no money and still has to go out to work...that would cost her half her life!
Sure enough, after hearing this, the expressions of the second and third wives changed from gloomy to cloudy and sunny.
They knew that their mother would not favor the eldest wife.
The old lady looked at Lin Yubao and his wife with a sullen face and said, "Think carefully whether you two want to divide this family. If you do, divide everything into three parts. If you don't, you will have to work in the fields and pay for it!"
Lin Yubao was about to refuse without even thinking, but Shen Hongyan grabbed his hand and stopped him from saying anything.
Money is important, house is important, laziness is important...
But no matter what, it’s not as important as the earth!
When the time comes to divide the land, the old lady will definitely get some. As long as they hold on to the old lady's land, this old woman will die within two years, and then... the land will be theirs!
Money, houses and all that shit!
As long as you have land, you can grow crops and sell food, and you can have a large income every year. What does the money and house you lost at the beginning matter?
Shen Hongyan thought she was very smart and had thought things through clearly!
So even though it hurt a lot, he nodded and agreed: "Mom! I want this family to be harmonious. As long as we don't split up, paying the money and working is no problem!"
"Also, don't bully your two younger siblings and the children anymore! If I see you again, I'll lose my dignity and separate from you!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mom, I get it. I won't dare to do it again."
