Chapter 212 Arrangements in place
Both the daughter-in-law and the son present were stunned.
They knew very well that Xiao Cailian was the old lady who loved the family being together the most, but they didn't expect to hear the word "divide the family" from her first.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Xiao Cailian immediately said, "You are all grown up, each doing your own thing, it will be more convenient for you to separate."
Before Fu Qinhui gave the job to the eldest brother, the second and third brothers had some ideas.
Now that the land has been divided, if these many family debts are not sorted out, they will pose hidden dangers in the future.
Ever since Lu Xiang and the others moved out, Xiao Cailian found that it seemed to be okay. Separating the family did not mean they would never have any contact with each other again.
Children all need to be independent. Sooner or later, they will separate, so it's better to separate them sooner rather than later.
Xiao Cailian's situation was sudden, and no one had told anyone beforehand. No one understood the old lady's feelings.
Brother Fu and Sister Fu asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Did we make you angry?"
The second and third brothers also quickly expressed their opinions.
Xiao Cailian immediately reached out to stop them: "None of you made me angry. This is my own idea, and I've been thinking about it for a while."
After a pause, Xiao Cailian continued, "I see that the village is going to build a house. We have too many children and we won't be able to accommodate them!"
There are so many children nowadays that they cannot have their own rooms and have to live together with their brothers. Some live with their parents, and it is not convenient for them as they are all grown-ups.
For example, Brother Fu’s eldest son is almost fifteen years old. According to the age limit in the village, he will be married in two or three years.
Where is the problem? These are all existing problems, and we cannot turn a blind eye to them.
Xiao Cailian said, "This is what I think. Whoever lives with me will own the house in the future."
The Fu family’s house is the best in the village. If they want to build a house this big, it would cost at least twelve thousand yuan.
Now that the prices of bricks and tiles have risen, it is not cheap to build a house.
Xiao Cailian thought about it for a long time and said, "Whoever moves out and builds a house will pay for it!" Everyone was tempted when she said this.
The old lady has money. She has been doing the duck neck business for many years and has made a lot of money.
Ever since Fu Qinhui's factory was established, Lu Xiang transferred 30% of the duck necks from her supply and marketing cooperative to the old lady. She didn't work and refused to take the money.
No one can say no to giving this money to the old lady.
Xiao Cailian received this filial gift and had some small stash of money in her hands. Her son and daughter-in-law all knew about it, but no one dared to think about it.
I saw Xiao Cailian being silent before, but I didn’t expect that she would suddenly make such a big noise.
Xiao Cailian said: "You need to study it. Of course, the ceiling of this house cannot exceed 800. If it exceeds, you have to pay for it yourself!" They also have money in their hands.
Eight hundred yuan can also build a small house with two or three rooms. The key is that the new house is spacious.
If you get another two hundred, you can also have two large yards in front and back, which would be even more luxurious.
When everyone heard this, they knew that the old lady was determined, so they had to study this matter seriously.
Xiao Cailian said, "There are also fields. The land is together. My idea is to give the land to one person to cultivate. Depending on the market, either rent or grain can be paid. You can discuss it among yourselves."
As soon as Xiao Cailian finished speaking, everyone looked over immediately. They didn't care about their own discussions and wanted to listen to the whole thing in one breath.
Xiao Cailian said, "The eldest has a job. The second and third brothers, you two should discuss who will work in the fields."
Mrs. Fu said, "If we're not farming, what's the point of having an extra person?"
Xiao Cailian said, "I talked to Lao Si a few days ago and asked him to arrange a job for me."
Fu Qinhui nodded and said, "Mom told me I could get a job at the spring factory." He was now the factory manager, and his connections outside the factory were even wider. He'd been working at the spring factory for two years, earning over 30 a month. He'd even been given gifts during the holidays.
Xiao Cailian said, "The four of you are all brothers from the same mother. You must get along with each other no matter what you do. Even if you split up, you are still family. If anyone splits up and doesn't recognize his mother or brothers, I will be the first to disapprove of him."
Everyone hurriedly said: "How can that be possible!"
Third Brother Fu said, "Mom, you're just worrying about that useless thing."
The sisters-in-law all had their own thoughts. They all thought this arrangement was a good one: they could earn money from farming, and they could go to work in the county. It was either respectable on the outside or practical on the inside.
After half an hour of negotiation, the second child went to work at the spring factory, while the third child stayed at home to lease land. The eldest and second child bought a house, while the third child stayed to live with his mother.
After everyone reached an agreement and there were no more questions, Xiao Cailian took out three red envelopes and gave them to the eldest and second oldest sons, saying, "Here's 800 yuan. Use it to buy a house."
The eldest and second sisters-in-law came to Lu Xiang and asked, "Can I buy a house in the county for 800 yuan?" After all, if you have money, you can buy it anywhere. It's better to go to the county than to stay in the village.
Lu Xiang told them they could buy one for 800 yuan, but the location was bad and the space was cramped. But they were still eager and planned to go out house hunting together in a few days.
The old lady took out another red envelope and said, "The eight hundred in here is for Fu Qinhui and Lu Xiang. Do you have any objections? The fourth brother and his wife have contributed the most to the family."
Xiao Cailian was afraid that the brothers would become estranged, so she said, "If anyone has any objections, just say it right here and now. If you go out and tell me nonsense, I won't tolerate it."
Mrs. Fu said, "Mom, you're just too sentimental. Even if you give it all to my fourth brother, we have no regrets. We're all family."
Mrs. Fu Er and Mrs. Fu San also quickly expressed their opinions.
Seeing that everyone was in a friendly relationship, Xiao Cailian felt a little relieved. She finished the most important thing and felt relieved.
Fu Qinhui said, "Mom, Lu Xiang and I want to move to the county town. I'm busy with work, and sometimes I come home too late, which is inconvenient."
Xiao Cailian nodded and said, "Okay. It would be better to move there sooner rather than later."
The other three brothers looked at Fu Qinhui with envy. Who could have imagined that the factory they had built, which hadn't made any money for half a year, would suddenly take off and now have a nationwide business?
Even the county leaders praised him.
Mrs. Fu looked at Lu Xiang and said, "I heard before that you wanted to open a shop?" It's okay that the couple are good-looking, but how come they are so capable?
Lu Xiang said, "I plan to open a spicy hot pot restaurant!"
No one present had ever heard of Malatang.
Only Lu Xiang knew that Malatang was a snack that became popular for thirty years.
Although everyone didn't know what Malatang was, they inexplicably trusted Lu Xiang.
Mrs. Fu said, "If you are busy, just let me know and I will help you!" Lu Xiang agreed.
By the time they finished discussing everything and returned home, it was already late at night, and Xi Nian had fallen asleep in her brother's room.
Fu Qinhui carried Xi Nian home. On the way, Lu Xiang said to Fu Qinhui, "What's wrong with mom? Why are you so optimistic?"
Fu Qinhui said, "She was afraid of the embarrassing situation that had happened to other families." The land division was a good thing, but the family, with so many people, was in a state of turmoil. Everyone had their own concerns, worried that their brothers would take advantage of them.
This incident probably had a great impact on Xiao Cailian.
Lu Xiang said, "Smart people like Mom are still a minority!"
Fu Qinhui said seriously: "Why don't you say it to her face? She will definitely be happy if she hears you praising him."
Lu Xiang laughed after hearing this.
