The one who spoke was Mrs. Wu. If anyone wanted to touch her and Liu Shan’s coffin money, she would be the first one to disagree!
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "If you don't want to hand over the coffin, that's fine, then you can use something valuable as a substitute."
Valuable things? Fields? Land? Farmers in the countryside are like rootless duckweed without fields. Who dares to pawn these two things? At this moment, the eldest wife's little girl came over crying.
She had just woken up and Da Meizi came out of the house without anyone watching her.
"Mom." She opened her little arms and asked for her mother.
Xiao Wu held her daughter tightly in her arms.
Mei Zi came out to hug her sister, but her sister refused to go with her.
Mrs. Wu's eyes flashed, and she said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I'll sell these two girls to you!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. This old man even sold his granddaughter for money!
Liu Ping was shocked: "Mom!"
Su Xiaoxiao said with disdain: "What are these two girls worth? Otherwise, you can use your grandson to pay off the debt! Niu Dan is white and fat, for the sake of being neighbors, I'll give him five taels!"
"You can't sell my son!" He screamed without thinking.
Niu Dan is not only the treasure of the second wife, but also the apple of Liu Shan and Mrs. Wu's eyes. Not to mention that Mrs. He disagrees, the two elders are reluctant to let him go.
But one of the coffin money, land, and cow eggs must be used to pay off the debt.
To be precise, it is used to offset the interest.
Even if they sold their entire family, they still couldn't raise the forty-eight taels.
He cried, "Dad! Mom! Please let my eldest brother and the others divide the money! It's not our debt! Why should we pay it back?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Wow, what you said makes it sound like they didn't earn any money for the family or help with the housework."
With just one sentence, He was choked to death.
All of Liu Ping's wages were handed over to Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu's mother was sick, and Mrs. Wu was not allowed to take even an egg back to her parents' home.
Why can’t the whole family pay off Liu Ping’s debt together?
Aunt Liu said while eating melon seeds, "Brother Ping, don't divide the family. Let your family help pay it back together!"
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Have you thought about it? Do you want to pay it back together without splitting up, or do you want to let them pay it back on their own after splitting up?"
"Divide the family!" He said, "Dad! Mom! If this family is not divided, Liu An and I can't live anymore - we won't live anymore -"
Mrs. Wu's mouth moved.
She also wants to split the family.
She looked at the head of the household.
Liu Shan is now in a difficult situation. He was the one who said he did not want to split the family, but Liu Ping owed so much debt, and if he did not split the family, he would have to pay for Liu Ping.
But he didn't want to pay, and couldn't afford the money.
Aunt Liu said again: "Uncle Liu, if it really doesn't work out, you can just divide the family."
There are two major surnames in the village - Liu and Wu. These two surnames have the largest number of people, but they are not closely related by blood, and those who are related are only five generations apart.
Old Li glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, sighed, and said to Liu Shan: "Old Liu, let's split up the family. It's difficult for you too."
The development of the matter to this point was really beyond the expectations of the villagers.
Liu Ping proposed to separate because he didn't want to burden his family. Just for this filial piety, no one could spit at him! On the contrary, the Liu family was in a difficult position. After all, Liu Ping was the eldest son in the family. Although it was wrong to owe debts, he didn't do it on purpose. Besides, he gave all the wages he earned over the years to his family.
Shouldn't the family take some money out to pay off his debts? Liu Shan looked complicated: "The head of the village..."
"You make your own decision." The village head said, looking at Su Xiaoxiao, "Daya, give me a favor. No matter who pays the debt, you should give me some more time."
Su Xiaoxiao said slowly: "I can extend the time limit, but the interest cannot be reduced, one tael and eight cents a day!"
Mrs. Wu's temples throbbed: "Divide, divide...divide the family!"
Such a huge debt would cost her her life! Liu Shan looked at the couple in the second room again and asked, "Do you also agree to split up the family?"
He looked at her man and gritted her teeth: "Separate the family!"
"Liu An?" Liu Shan asked his youngest son.
Liu An said with a stiff upper lip: "Since my elder brother and his wife insist on dividing, I have nothing to say."
Liu Shan sighed and said, "Then let's ask Guo Lizheng to be a witness and divide the family property."
He said to Liu Ping and Xiao Wu: "Your mother's and my coffins will not be moved. The remaining coffins will be divided into two parts, with the first and second wives each taking half."
This way of dividing the money is very considerate of the eldest wife. The rule is that the coffin itself should not be moved, but the rest of the money should be divided equally between the two elders and each wife.
Liu Shan was essentially giving up his share to the Wu family.
In the past, Mrs. Wu would not have agreed, but she was anxious to get rid of the debt of 48 taels, so she didn't say a word.
Liu Shan continued, "We have five acres of land in total, and the two acres on the east side belong to you."
Liu An opened his mouth and said, those are the most fertile two acres of land.
He glared at him and told him to stop talking, otherwise the division of the family would be ruined and who would pay the debt?
Liu Shan added: "I've given you the best land, but I won't share the houses. If you really don't have a place to stay, you can clean up the ancestral house by the fish pond and live there."
This means that the ancestral house is also divided among the eldest son's wives.
Liu Shan said, "If you are dissatisfied with anything, please raise it while the head of the village and the villagers are here. It will be useless if you raise it after the distribution is completed."
"That's all. Thank you, Dad." Liu Ping brought Little Wu to kowtow to Liu Shan and Big Wu.
They had never thought they would get so much, and they thought they would be kicked out and not be able to take a penny with them.
The two prepared for the worst.
The next thing is to write certificates, move and other matters. Su Xiaoxiao is a bully, so of course she can't stay to help Xiao Wu, as that would ruin her character.
However, just as she turned to leave, the village head called her back.
"Daya, I remember...your husband can write, can you ask him to help write it for you?"
Dividing the family property is not just a few empty words. The transfer of land and houses requires going to the government office to go through formalities. Moreover, the specific details of the division must be written down in black and white to avoid disputes in the future.
"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao agreed generously, "We, the Su family, must give the head of the village a favor!"
The village head was very relieved!
Su Xiaoxiao went to see Wei Ting and told him about the successful division of the Liu family's eldest branch, mainly to show off her own wisdom.
She sat opposite Wei Ting, resting her elbows on the table, holding her chin with both hands, and said proudly: "What do you think? Am I awesome? I told you this method would work!"
She was referring to the use of a fake IOU to facilitate the separation of the family property.
Wei Ting chuckled and said, "You can only scare these country folks. If you really take them to the government office to compare handprints, you'll be exposed."
Su Xiaoxiao snorted, "I'm just betting they won't go to the government office!"
What a joke! Shen Chuan asked her to move out. Which villager would think she was lying?
The villagers didn't have a strong sense of law, so if they really wanted proof, they would go to Shen Chuan for it, and Shen Chuan would definitely not expose her! Wei Ting took a pen and paper and began to write down the details of the division.
He had never seen such a woman, she didn't care about her reputation at all, it seemed that it didn't matter how others scolded her, if they called her a bully, she would just be a little bully.
And still...feeling proud of it.
Are you stupid?
No, what she did today was definitely not just cleverness. She understood people's hearts thoroughly. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is resourceful.
Isn't that stupid? She has a kind of foolishness that makes her throw herself into the fire for the people around her.
"Have you finished writing? I'll take it away when you're done!" Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the documents on the table, shook her head, and walked out proudly! Not long after, three little kids came to look for their dad.
They wanted their dad to write on their fingers.
Wei Ting looked at the fingers of several people wrapped like dumplings, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Why do you have to learn everything that girl does?
Of course he knew that the three kids were not hurt, because she would tell him if they were hurt.
"Write what?" he asked.
"No need to complain." Xiaohu said.
Wei Ting thought about it and wrote three names on the gauze - Da Hu, Er Hu and Xiao Hu.
The three of them shook their heads and walked out in a heroic manner! Wei Ting: "..." - The people from the government office had gone back to celebrate the New Year, and the formalities had to be completed after the New Year. However, the documents for the division of the family were clearly written. In the presence of the head of the village, Liu Shan and Liu Ping signed and put their fingerprints on it.
This matter can be considered settled.
After the fun was over, the villagers dispersed.
Liu Ping and Xiao Wu did not suffer any criticism, but the Liu family suffered a lot of criticism.
In the past, when there was a family division, no matter who was at fault, it was almost one-sided on the side of the main family. The only ones who were able to live on their own without being criticized were Liu Ping and Xiao Wu.
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. He stared at Mrs. Wu, fearing that she would take away one more thing from the house.
Xiao Wu was too busy to thank Su Pangya, but she whispered to Liu Ping about the help Su Pangya had given her during this period.
Liu Ping was shocked after hearing this.
He had some idea of what happened today, but he didn't expect that this was not the first time Su Pangya had helped him.
This is too... hard to believe.
That’s Fatty Su!
A female bully who is feared by everyone in the area!
Xiao Wu said: "Pang Ya is our benefactor, we must repay her well in the future."
Liu Ping patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my wife! I will repay her for her hard work!"
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know that Liu Ping, who seemed mediocre in talent, would really repay her kindness one day in the future.
Su Xiaoxiao was cutting bacon in the kitchen. The three little ones gathered in front of the stove, each grabbing a piece of shiny bacon and nibbling on it in small bites.
She was humming a cheerful little tune, and the three little ones followed the rhythm, nodding their heads from side to side while eating.
This scene is somewhat heartwarming.
Wei Ting had never seen the three little guys so happy. They had been living in dire straits since they were born. It was only after coming to Xiao Su's house that they seemed to have found the long-lost stability.
When Su Xiaoxiao looked up, her eyes met Wei Ting's.
She was about to tease Wei Ting, but Wei Ting spoke first: "It's just helping someone divide up a family, why are you so happy about it?"
Su Xiaoxiao snorted and continued cutting vegetables: "What do you know? I'm helping my employees solve their worries!"
She protects her employees!
Anyone who wants to bully me, no way!
After a pause, Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and said, "Why are you in the kitchen? You've been hanging around me quite frequently recently, Wei Ting, you're not really attracted to me, are you?"
Keep acting cute and beg for monthly votes!
