"Father, please sit here and rest. I will take charge of the division of the family property."
Yu Chengyuan then turned to Wang and said, "Old Mrs. Wang, stop scolding my father here. You have no right to do so!"
You'd better shut your good son up, or it won't be my dad beating him.
I'll beat him even harder then.
Because I won't show any mercy.
I am not like my father, a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person.
I'll kill Buddha if I encounter Buddha, and kill ghost if I encounter ghost!
"In my eyes, you are not some third uncle, but a rat in a shady hook."
Now you don't need to talk so much nonsense.
Let's talk about the family division.
I disagree with your previous method of division!
Yu Chengyuan didn't want to argue with them any further.
"What's the use if you disagree? I haven't treated your main branch badly."
How many people are there in your main branch?
Our two- or three-bedroom apartments are twice as many as yours, so shouldn't we get a bigger share?
Besides, they have to support me and take care of me. Your eldest son's family only needs to pay grain and festival gifts three times a year, and you don't have to take care of me!
Wang acted as if it were perfectly natural.
“You said our eldest son’s family doesn’t need to be taken care of, but giving us festival gifts and paying for our food and supplies is already equivalent to taking care of us.”
They are not the same thing!
Therefore, it is reasonable to divide everything into three parts, one for the eldest son, one for the second son, and one for the third son.
Yu Chengyuan turned to the village chief and asked, "Uncle Zhou, do you think what I said is right?"
"Yes, that's how you should divide a family property. Everything should be divided into three parts."
Those who live together and have not separated do not need to pay grain or send festival gifts, but sons who have separated from their families do need to pay.
This is fair and just.
Aunt Wang, your previous method of dividing things was too much.
Or let's hear what Cheng Yuan has to say!
This Wang woman clearly doesn't want to give anything to the eldest son's wife; it seems she even wants the eldest son's wife to leave with nothing!
"There's practically nothing left in the house, how are we going to divide it into three portions?"
Wang looked reluctant.
But she was unwilling, and the eldest son's second son wouldn't agree either!
If the family doesn't separate, all the idle members of the eldest son's family will have to eat and drink together.
There's hardly any labor left!
"Mother, let's do as they say and divide it equally!"
But instead of dividing it into three portions, it's four portions, because you also need one portion!
Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to do something foolish, Li Hehua quickly reminded her.
Four portions?
Four portions won't do; I need to divide it into two portions. I'm too old to earn money anymore.
I need a bigger share, otherwise what am I supposed to do?
Wang shook her head, then suddenly had a brilliant idea: she should take two portions!
She herself takes two shares, the second and third wives each take one share, making a total of four shares for them, leaving only one share, which is not much.
They still benefit the most.
As soon as Wang said this, everyone looked at him.
"Holy crap!"
"This Wang woman is utterly shameless!"
"That's right, that's right! She's an old woman and she wants to divide it into two portions!"
"She's never lived alone, nor has she separated from the family. Even if she has a share, she can only get one share!"
"If Aunt Wang wants to divide it into two portions, the eldest son's family will only have a small portion left!"
"Then what's the point of dividing it up?!"
"Just give them everything."
"That Wang woman is really good at scheming!"
He's even more shrewd than the landlords.
"I think this is clearly an attempt to make the eldest son's wife leave with nothing!"
That's incredibly heartless.
What are you all arguing about?
"So what if I want to split it into two portions?"
Wang stuck out her neck, looking like she was taking advantage of her age.
Yu Chengyuan plopped down on the millstone, crossed his legs, and said, "Grandma Wang, Yu Sanzhu, if you want to divide the family property like this, then we won't."
Our family will just sit at home and wait for our meal.
"We don't have enough extra people in our family to do the work."
My mother and father have to take care of my brother, since there are some things that my brother can't do for my mother.
My mother was responsible for feeding my brother and washing his clothes.
The chores of feeding the chickens and pigs and cooking at home were left to my second and third aunts.
My dad was responsible for wiping my brother's body and massaging his acupoints.
From now on, the work in the fields will be handled by my second and third uncles.
"What? Cheng Yuan, are you out of your mind? Your parents only need to serve your brother and don't do any other work?"
Li Hehua was the first to shout.
She wouldn't want to!
"Second sister-in-law, why aren't you saying anything?"
Are you willing?
Li Hehua glared at Yang Juhua, who hadn't said a word.
"I...I'll listen to my mother."
Yang Juhua stammered out a sentence.
"You...you good-for-nothing!"
Li Hehua snorted coldly.
"Li Hehua!"
Shut up!
What's the rush?
I haven't finished speaking yet!
Yu Chengyuan gave her a sharp look, which made Li Hehua immediately shut her mouth.
As for me!
I can't do any work either!
I need to go and bring my wife and daughter back; I also need to take care of him during his postpartum period.
"I can't just leave my wife at my mother-in-law's house, that's just too much!"
"The doctor said that you need to rest for 100 days after a C-section, otherwise it will be difficult to have another child, and you may even develop serious illnesses."
So I'm unable to work anymore.
There's no other way; I still have to wash my little Tangtang's diapers and stuff.
"Then I'll leave it to you, the second and third wives,."
"Oh right, there's also the hospital debt; we only have two days left."
Remember to pay it back, otherwise it wouldn't be good if someone came and took the cow from your house to pay off the debt.
