There is a saying in the countryside that if the parents do not split up the family while they are still alive, splitting up the family will prove that the luck of the entire family will be dispersed, which will have a bad impact.
Besides, if the family is divided, she will not be able to gain any advantage in the future. Wang Guihua is unwilling to divide the family at all.
Huo Jinyan has made up his mind; he has decided to split up this family.
The village chief came to dinner today, and he found the village chief directly during the dinner and asked him to help be a witness.
Generally, when a family is divided in a village, they will look for the village chief.
The village chief was in his fifties or sixties, thin and skinny, but he moved very agilely.
"Jinyan, are you sure you want to split up?"
"Yes, Village Chief, you have seen the situation in our family today. My wife and I have a good relationship and have never mentioned divorce, but my family is forcing us to divorce. If this family is not divided, my wife and I will probably never have a peaceful life."
This is indeed very reasonable. Everyone can see what kind of person Wang Guihua is.
"Let's break it up. It's better to break it up. Your stepmother has too many things to do."
"That's right. He keeps a forked mouth and keeps gossiping all day long. He's a troublemaker. I have to share my share. I can't live without him."
"Don't forget to explain clearly about the old man's retirement when you divide it, otherwise they will bully you again."
The villagers couldn't stand what Wang Guihua did and started to speak up for Huo Jinyan.
The people are united, and this family must be divided even if it doesn't want to.
Wang Guihua was throwing a tantrum! She didn't want a division, she couldn't have one, and she even brought the old lady out to ask her to be the judge.
The old lady only said one word, "divide."
Finally, Wang Guihua had used up all her abilities and could no longer prevent the family from splitting up.
After dinner, everyone went to the Huo family to watch the fun.
Dividing the family means taking out all the family property and clearing it up.
Every grain of rice and every chopstick must be counted clearly.
When the Huo family's daily necessities, pots, pans, and even money were laid out on the table, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.
The village chief was also counting the accounts at this time.
"The Huo family currently has two baskets of rice, a bag of flour, three bags of rice, a basket of sweet potatoes, three pumpkins, twelve potatoes, peanuts... and finally, thirty-four yuan and eighty-two cents in cash."
After recording the Huo family's belongings, he asked Wang Guihua again: "Is this all the stuff you have at home? You haven't hidden anything, right? If you have, the whole village will not forgive you."
Wang Guihua was anxious and angry: "No, that's all we have. There are many people in our family and the expenses are high. Jinyan only sends that much every month. He gives his wife 100 yuan. How can our 40 yuan be enough for us?"
In both explicit and implicit terms, it means that Huo Jinyan is dishonest and biased.
One villager complained, "Forty-something yuan a month isn't enough! How much does a pound of meat and an egg cost these days? You're such a lazy, gluttonous family! You have to spend it all every month!"
"That's right. They don't do any work, yet they eat lavish meals every day. How can they not go bankrupt?"
Wang Guihua was sitting on the threshold of the main room, while Huo's father was sitting on the other side smoking a cigarette. Both of them had ugly expressions on their faces.
The village chief stopped everyone from talking: "If that's the case, then let's get started! The sooner we divide it, the sooner we can get it over with."
"The Huo family now has two branches, Jinyan and Fugui. Li Xiaomei is a daughter and will not participate in the division of the family property, so this is easy to handle."
"The things are divided into three parts, one for Jinyan's eldest wife, one for Fugui's second wife, and one for you two elders and Li Xiaomei."
The village chief called people to start weighing the grain.
"There are two hundred catties of rice, twenty catties of rice, fifty catties of flour, and forty sweet potatoes... Counting all these things together, each family can get sixty-six catties and six ounces of rice, six catties and six ounces of rice, sixteen catties and six ounces of flour, and thirteen sweet potatoes... The money is eleven yuan and sixty cents."
It took a long time to count these things, and finally, they were all divided up.
Something like one or two pounds for one or two yuan? That sounds too petty.
With such a small amount of food, I really don’t have enough food to eat.
Wang Guihua and Li Xiaomei burst into tears on the spot.
"His father, you're not even dead yet, and the family is already divided like this! You're all unfilial sons!"
Mr. Huo was also very annoyed and he scolded his wife.
"Shut up, if it weren't for you, this family wouldn't be divided."
He smoked his cigarette, one puff after another, feeling very upset.
Suddenly Wang Guihua remembered something and said, "That's not right. Then there's the issue of our retirement. We need pensions now."
Yes, I can’t raise my son in vain. He needs pension now, and it’s a large sum.
"I want fifty dollars a month."
Now there is still a little more than before, so it’s good to split up.
Everyone rolled their eyes at Wang Guihua. Even a lion wouldn't say that. He was treating people like fools.
The village chief said with a straight face, "According to the rules, if parents are not old enough to be supported by their parents and can still eat, run, and work, their sons cannot support them in their old age. They have to wait until they are sixty years old before they can rely on their children for support. Our standard of support here is five yuan per person per month. The two of you together make ten yuan."
"So, these ten dollars, after you turn sixty, Jinyan and Fugui will each give you five dollars a month."
“Boom.”
Wang Guihua was confused.
Why do I have to wait until I’m over 60 and only have five dollars a month?
The gap is too big.
"That's too little. Why wait until we're sixty? What are we going to eat and drink now?"
The village chief couldn't stand it anymore.
"You're young and have all the hands and feet, can't you work for yourselves? Now that the land has been divided up, you'd rather let it grow weeds than plant anything, right? That's outrageous."
