While trying to persuade her mother-in-law, Wang, Li Hehua listened intently to the conversation between her nephew and husband.
"besides………
Forget about that for now.
Since Grandma Wang has agreed to the three-part division, let me explain.
"Uncle Zhou, could you please register this? The villagers can be witnesses."
Take it one step at a time.
"Don't worry, Chengyuan, we'll all be your witnesses."
The villagers shouted loudly.
"Thank you, fellow villagers."
Yu Chengyuan waved to the villagers, then bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
"This ungrateful wretch treats his grandmother and aunt with contempt, but acts like an ancestor to those unrelated villagers."
What a waste of money to raise such a little beast!
Wang was so angry that her mouth twisted, and she muttered curses under her breath.
"Mother, stop scolding. If Chengyuan hears this, he might do something crazy."
Have you forgotten that he threw you into the pigsty?
Li Hehua reminded her mother-in-law once again.
That Wang woman has such a sharp tongue. We finally got that brat to agree to separate the family, and we can't let her mother-in-law ruin it all with just a few words.
Wang kept quiet, remembering the time she was thrown into the pigsty last time.
That time really terrified her. Luckily, the pigs at home don't eat people, otherwise she would have lost her life.
It's best not to mess with that brat. Anyway, we're going to separate the family soon, and once they move to the old house, I won't have to see them or worry about them.
Yu Chengyuan didn't hear what they were saying; he only knew they were whispering behind him.
"There are still six hens and two roosters in the house. Two of the hens are in the first house, and two are in the second and third houses."
The remaining two roosters are difficult to divide into three portions, so let's set them aside for now and deal with them later.
It's not easy to divide between the two geese, so let's put them aside.
Four pigs, divided into three groups, one for each family, and the other one set aside for now.
Grains and pots and pans are easy to separate.
Just divide it into three portions.
"Chengyuan, I've noted all of this down. Let's sort these out first!"
Zhou Jianguo put down his pen and said.
Yu Chengyuan had already had the paper and ink brought out.
Because Yu Erbao had kept some at home for future use.
So he had someone fetch it for him to use.
"Mother, you and Father, please come out for a moment, take our share of the things, and lock them up separately."
Yu Chengyuan shouted into the house.
Yu Dazhu and his wife quickly ran out, "Chengyuan, we're here."
Soon their two chickens and one pig were separated.
Pan Cuilian quickly divided up the family's grain, oil, salt, firewood, and rice.
Because she often cooks, she knows exactly where the food and other items are kept in the house, and she also knows how much there is.
"Chengyuan, they've all been divided up."
Oh, and we still have thirty chicken eggs and twenty goose eggs at home.
Should we split it together?
Pan Cuilian slapped her forehead, as if she had suddenly remembered something.
"Of course we should divide them, Mom. You take ten eggs. Eggs can help my brother get better."
I'll send seven goose eggs to my wife to help her recover.
I've heard that it's good for women to eat goose eggs during their postpartum period.
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, save it for Sulan to nourish her body."
Pan Cuilian smiled and took over ten chicken eggs and seven goose eggs, her face beaming with joy.
Now that the family has separated, she can finally be the one in charge and no longer have to suffer oppression from her mother-in-law.
Wang's squinty eyes were fixed on the busy eldest daughter-in-law with malice, wishing she could rush up and grab her to stop her from touching those things, which were her lifeblood!
But her third brother stopped her, telling her to bear it, to think about the debts, and to think about Erbao, so she had no choice but to endure it.
"Dad, why don't you go with your second uncle to distribute the farm tools, winnowing baskets, vegetable baskets, backpacks, straw hats, and the like?"
Just take what we're entitled to.
Yu Chengyuan then asked his father to share the money with his second uncle, believing that his second uncle wouldn't make things difficult for his father.
Because my second uncle didn't say much from beginning to end.
Normally, the second aunt would follow the third aunt to curry favor and act as an accomplice to evil.
My second uncle couldn't control my second aunt, so he had no choice but to let her go.
"Big brother, come with me to the backyard!"
Yu Erzhu quickly said.
His third brother gave him a meaningful look, but he pretended not to see it.
A short while later, my father arrived.
"Chengyuan, everything has been divided up!"
Yu Dazhu brought all the things over and put them aside.
"Now all that's left to be divided up are a cow, two roosters, and two geese."
It's not easy to divide a cow; you can't just slaughter it and divide it into three parts!
Our family has adult male water buffaloes, and the current market price is 500 yuan per head.
Divided into three parts, that is, each family can receive about 166 yuan.
"I don't need the cow, just give me 166 yuan."
"We don't have the money to give you 166 yuan!"
"I can't give you any of the cow."
Upon hearing this, Wang started shouting again.
"Since you're unwilling, then just wait until the day after tomorrow when the debt collectors come and take it away. That will be enough to offset five hundred yuan."
I have no objection.
"Then I'll go back and get a good night's sleep, and just wait for dinner to be served."
Yu Chengyuan had an indifferent expression.
"Nephew Chengyuan, don't be angry."
We don't have any money, but aren't there other things we haven't shared yet?
"Use something else to pay for it; let the village chief keep track of the 160."
Yu Sanzhu quickly came up to stop him.
If the debt collectors come, then the whole cow will really end up benefiting someone else.
