Chapter 161: The Division is Ridiculous

Village Chief Chen came to understand the situation.

I was very surprised to hear that it was a separation.

When he heard that there would be no separation of households for the time being, he began to understand a little. But when he heard that the eldest son's household would be separated into a separate household, Village Chief Chen thought it was ridiculous.

When he heard about the distribution of the family property, Village Chief Chen became numb.

This is bullying honest people.

It was no secret in the village that Qin Lao Da was not liked by Liu Po ​​Zi. The reason was that he insisted on marrying a sick wife, and then gave birth to a sick only child. The child had to take medicine all year round, which cost the family a lot of money.

Any head of the family would be unhappy.

No one said anything to Mrs. Liu about this.

At most, I would say it's cold and indifferent.

But if we split up like this now, wouldn't you be afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?

Qin Chi saw the look on Village Chief Chen's face and sighed vaguely, "Patriarch, Village Chief, please add another sentence to the family division letter. My father gave up the family property voluntarily out of consideration for the deep affection between brothers."

Otherwise, it would be a joke to say that the two elders deliberately mistreat the eldest son when they were dividing the family property.

Patriarch Qin looked at Qin Chi with appreciation and said, "Qian's action is very kind."

"You're too kind, Patriarch." Qin Chi smiled modestly.

In this way, no one can find fault with the first wife in the future.

Among the Qin clan leader and the village chief, their favorable impression of Qin Chi is increasing rapidly.

After being treated unfairly, he never felt resentful and even took the initiative to cover up for his elders. He is an honest and filial child.

Then Chief Qin asked about the issue of caring for the elderly.

Old Man Qin knew he was in the wrong, so he said, "In the future, my wife and I will be taken care of by our fourth son. The other three wives don't need to give us any money. Just bring some gifts to visit us during festivals and show your filial piety."

"Not completely confused yet."

Patriarch Qin personally wrote the document on the division of the family.

It stated that the division of the family was proposed by the two elders, and that the descendants were not at fault. It also stated that the fourth son was a candidate for the imperial examination, and that the two elders were willing to be taken care of by the fourth room, and that the other three sons did not need to pay for filial support. It then stated that the eldest son was filial, friendly to his brothers and respectful to his younger brothers, and that he voluntarily gave up the family property and only took 10 taels of silver for settling down, etc.

In fact, Qin Chi didn't really want the ten taels of silver.

But if he didn't want to, it would seem too much of an insult to the two elders, and people would suspect that he was dissatisfied with the division of the family, so he simply didn't mention it.

The household documents are divided equally.

Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao San almost wanted to separate the household, but were stopped by Qin Chi.

The reason why the eldest family was divided was because Qin Chi himself was a scholar, so whether it was registered under Qin Mingsong's name or not did not have much impact. On the contrary, it was irrational for the two uncles to divide the household at this time, as the heavy taxes were enough to crush a small family.

Qin Chi whispered, "When the family has extra money, we won't have to worry about taxes, and it won't be too late to divide it up."

"Listen to Dalang." Qin Laosan made the first decision.

Qin Laoer thought about it and it was true. He couldn’t get angry for a short while as he still had a wife and children to support in the future.

The process of dividing the family property went incredibly smoothly without any problems.

The division of the family will be completed as long as the village chief goes to the government office to grant the eldest wife a separate household.

Song Jin watched the whole process quietly.

The corners of Song Xiu's mouth curled up, and she looked so proud, as if she had won a battle.

"Oh, what should I do? I won't be able to benefit from the fourth room anymore." Song Xiu came to Song Jin and made fun of him.

Song Jin looked at Song Xiu deeply and said, "When you live in this world, you are the only one you can rely on. If you rely on mountains, they will fall, and if you rely on people, they will run away."

"You just keep talking tough." Song Xiu sneered.

"It's really thanks to Xiu'er this time."

When Song Jin said this, his tone was particularly gentle, "From now on, grandpa and grandma will rely on Xiu'er to take care of them. I think with Xiu'er's filial piety, she will definitely take good care of grandpa and grandma."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiu's smile froze.

According to the convention of dividing the family, the elderly should live with the eldest son, but the two old guys insisted on living with the fourth son.

But as a daughter-in-law, no matter how much I dislike her, I cannot express it out loud.

Otherwise it will be regarded as extremely disrespectful.

While the two were talking, they did not notice that not far behind them, Bai Cuiwei was looking at them thoughtfully.

"Miss, why did the Qin family suddenly split up?" Rouzhu asked softly while standing behind Bai Cuiwei.

Bai Cuiwei shook her head, "This has little to do with us."

"But in the future, the chewing materials at home will be..."

Rouzhu was also unsure for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said, "The old man and the old lady seem to be living with the fourth room, so who is in charge of the fourth room's finances?"

"No matter who it is, it won't be us." Bai Cuiwei turned around with a cold face and went back to her room.

This room is not big and was specially cleaned up.

There is a small room inside, which is for the maid Rouzhu to live in. My mind, which was intoxicated by love, has become more sober recently.

In fact, she felt a little regretful.

It’s not that she regretted following Qin Mingsong, but she shouldn’t have come to Yi County with only a maid, which led to her current embarrassing situation and forced her to become a concubine.

Seeing the young lady return to her room, Rouzhu followed her in.

"Rouzhu!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Old Liu's words rang out loudly, "Come to the main room quickly."

"Hey, old lady, I'm coming right now!"

Rouzhu quickly responded, and then said to Bai Cuiwei in the room, "Miss, the old lady called me again, I will go and get busy first."

"Go." Bai Cuiwei waved her hand numbly.

Rouzhu was also feeling sad.

Life in the Qin family was the hardest she had ever lived since she became the head maid. Not only did she have to serve the young lady in her daily life, but she was also often ordered around by the old lady.

A pair of originally delicate hands also became rough.

When Song Jin heard Old Liu calling from the main room, he remembered that there was such a person in the Qin family's old house.

Bai Cuiwei lived like an invisible person in the Qin family. She rarely stepped out of her room, and even her food was brought in by the maids. She was very low-key when she occasionally came out.

This is what smart people do.

That night, the Qin family’s old house prepared a table of dishes.

The men in the family drank with Patriarch Qin and the village chief, while the women set up a separate table.

After eating.

Song Jin followed Li to the side room.

Mainly helping Li pack up boxes and cages.

Li stuffed the ten taels of silver Qin Chi had given her as a settlement fee into a makeup box and said half-jokingly, "These ten taels of silver are disgusting to look at."

"Ha, mother, don't be hard on silver. There's nothing wrong with silver." Song Jin also said jokingly.

Li's eyes were gentle as she said, "You are right. The money is not wrong, it's the people who are wrong."

"Second uncle and third uncle also have ten taels?"

Song Jin didn't pay attention just now.

Li showed sarcasm, "Will those two get a discount? Same, 10 taels each."

To be honest, this division of the family was quite ridiculous.

It does not favor the eldest son, nor is it divided equally. It is divided entirely according to the preferences of the elders.

Li put the things into the boxes and asked, "How about we move them tomorrow?"

"It's still early. My husband said that he will ask Uncle Li to drive a mule cart over to move the things."

"OK!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to pack up the boxes.

Took a while to clean up.

Xiao Liu and Lin came to help.

This makes moving faster.

One trip by mule cart is all it takes.

The main large pieces of furniture were not moved away and were all left to the second and third bedrooms.
