Chapter 992 The Fan Family Divides
Madam Mei narrowed her eyes and abruptly got off the bed. "Then let's divide the family property. After the division, I'll be entitled to use the money belonging to the eldest son's family, right?"
Yu was shocked and turned around abruptly, "Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you saying?"
"Mother, since my third brother has been married for half a year anyway, and things have turned out like this, why don't we just separate the family?"
The more Madam Mei talked about it, the more feasible it seemed. In fact, she had long been fed up with her mother-in-law being in charge of the household. She had to ask her for a token to use the public funds when she needed money, which restricted her in many ways. Sometimes she even had to use her own dowry.
But things are different after the family splits up. Historically, when the family splits up, the eldest son's family gets the lion's share, and he gets far more than 22,000 taels of silver.
I can still be the head of the household and even kick out the troublesome third wife. Just thinking about it makes me feel great.
Ms. Yu disagreed, but apart from her, everyone present actually had the idea of dividing the family property.
Young Master Fan sneered, "Has Sister-in-law made up her mind? Then invite Brother and Sister-in-law over."
It didn't mean anything; Fan Sanshao immediately sent his servants to find someone.
At this point, the matter had become an internal affair of the Fan family, and Shu Yu no longer needed to listen to it.
Seeing Fan Sanshao's decisive manner and his excellent cooperation with Ding Yuehua, she thought that she would get what she wanted today.
It was getting late, so Shu Yu got up to take his leave. "It seems I won't get the money today. I don't care how your family resolves it. I'm only giving you three days. If you don't see compensation by then, I'll have to go directly to the county government."
After she finished speaking, she winked at the excited Ding Yuehua and left with Ying Xi.
As I walked out of the Fan family's gate, I saw Young Master Fan rushing back.
This was the first time Shu Yu had met Young Master Fan. He looked to be more than ten years older than Young Master Fan, and he was a bit overweight. He was covered in sweat after running a little too fast.
Once Young Master Fan entered the door, Shu Yu turned her gaze away and sighed softly to Ying Xi, "From now on, I'm afraid the Fan family will need Third Young Master Fan to be able to hold it together."
Judging from Fan Sanshao's appearance, he's a man of action. Plus, with a capable wife like Ding Yuehua, they're a perfect match. Even if they don't get much money from this family division, things will only get better in the future.
As for the eldest son of the Fan family, he seems to lack self-control, does nothing of substance, and has a wife who holds him back. We'll see what happens to him in the future.
Let's wait and see the outcome after the Fan family splits up.
Shu Yu didn't have to wait long. Three days later, when she was at the mansion checking on the progress of the house renovation, Ding Yuehua came over with Xiao Yun, her face beaming with joy.
Come to think of it, she hadn't even visited the house yet. Now, as she looked around, she recounted the story of the family division to Shu Yu.
After Shu Yu left that day, Young Master Fan and Second Young Mistress Mo were invited over, and the three families sat down to discuss the matter.
Young Master Fan naturally disagreed. Why bother dividing the family property when everything was fine? It would make us a laughing stock if word got out.
He adopted the airs of the eldest brother and lectured the third young master Fan, who then said that proposing a division of the family business was Mei's idea. The eldest young master Fan was speechless for a moment.
What surprised everyone even more was that Madam Mo, who had never interfered in family disputes, agreed to divide the family property.
Both families agreed, and with the instigation of the eldest son's wife, Mei, even if Young Master Fan was unwilling, it was useless. Especially since if they didn't separate the family, Mei might have to be sent to the government, which wouldn't do. At that time, neither he nor his children would be able to hold their heads up in public.
Young Master Fan was a man who lacked his own opinions, and after what Madam Mei said to him, the three families eventually reached a consensus.
