Chapter 40: Stop Arguing and Separate the Family
The ground was a mess and the smell of corn was floating in the air.
Liu Yeju noticed that everyone was looking at her, so she puffed out her chest and widened her eyes: "Why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who overturned the table, it was Old Four who did it."
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she pinched out a big snot with two fingers and threw it on the ground, wiped it on her clothes, stiffened her neck and shouted at Shen Xingjiang: "Didn't you hear what your wife said? Is it wrong for me to break the bowl?"
Jiang Wanwan shook her head. This man was beyond saving.
She never mentions taking advantage of others, and if you don't do what she wants, you're doomed.
Chen Xingjiang sneered: "You were the one who coveted our house first. Why, you are allowed to covet our house, but we are not allowed to say anything about you?"
Second bedroom.
Shen Hongjun was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head. Wang Cuixia secretly cursed Liu Yeju for being stupid. Shen Erzhu felt that he had lost all face and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Shen Sanzhu was determined to get the house, so whoever won the argument would benefit from it.
Liu Yeju waited and waited, and watched, but no one from her parents-in-law, husband, and children spoke for her. When nothing was wrong, she was asked to be the first to take action, but when something went wrong, they all became cowards.
Liu Yeju's heart was frozen into a lump of ice. Well... it didn't matter if I didn't help her. She could seek justice on her own.
"Why don't you let Sanzhu use your empty house? We are all family, are you just going to watch Sanzhu not get a wife?"
"I just asked you to lend your vacant house to Sanzhu to marry a daughter-in-law, but I didn't take your house. Jiang Wanwan wants us to move in with my parents. The four of us will have to squeeze in with my parents-in-law. It will be so crowded that six people will sleep together!"
"I've never seen a young wife so unreasonable and inflexible!"
Jiang Wanwan was so angry that she laughed: "I am indeed not as flexible as my second sister-in-law in this regard. You are so powerful. You are worried that the second house is not big enough, and Sanzhu will sooner or later drive your family to sleep with the second uncle and aunt, so you focus on our third house."
Jiang Wanwan has lived two lifetimes and disdains to waste time on such things, but that doesn't mean she will tolerate it again and again.
"You are so smart. You wronged our Third House to help your Second House. You thought we couldn't do anything to you because you were thick-skinned. You didn't expect that we wouldn't give you face, so you got angry and smashed the bowl."
"Liu Yeju, do you still feel wronged? You feel that you have devoted yourself to the Second House, but no one helps you. You feel that we in the Third House cannot bear to let you go and are bullying you. I advise you to piss yourself in the mirror. You are unreasonable, greedy, and vindictive. You are willing to be the first to stand up and act as a pawn for others. Every tear you shed is caused by yourself."
"Not everyone in the world is your parents, so no one should spoil you. You should be grateful for marrying into the Shen family. Everyone has tolerated you for so many years, but I'm sorry, Jiang Wanwan can't stand it. I'm going to say this today. We won't live in our three-bedroom house, nor will we give it to you in the future. Anyone who wants to live here can come and rent it. It's ten dollars a month."
Shen Sanzhu smacked his lips, ten dollars a month, it would be better to kill him.
Jiang Wanwan said with a dry mouth: "I know you don't understand reason, just remember this sentence, if you dare to bring dirty thoughts to our third room again, I will call the police!"
Although Jiang Wanwan is pretty, she is terrifying when she gets angry.
People of this era were afraid of people wearing uniforms. Liu Yeju shuddered and was about to run back crying.
"Stop right there!"
Old Mrs. Shen called her.
Liu Yeju's feet were nailed to the spot, her eyes lit up, finally someone was willing to help her.
Old Lady Shen sat on the kang, legs crossed. She looked at her family and said calmly, "Let's divide the family."
In a word, the Shen family was blown up.
The eldest brother in the family, Shen Jianjun, was immediately anxious: "Mom!"
Old Mrs. Shen closed her eyes: "Why are you shouting? I'm not deaf yet."
Shen Jianjun: "What are you and dad dividing the family for?"
Shen Hongjun agreed: "That's right, it would be a shame if it got out."
"Haha, if you are afraid that it will get out and sound bad, then it would be better to divide this family." Old Mrs. Shen sneered twice and opened her eyes.
"What about you, Yejun? What do you think?"
Shen Yejun: "I don't have any ideas, just listen to my mother."
If they don't split up the family, Liu Yeju will always want to bully his son and daughter-in-law. It's also good to split up the family.
Shen Jianjun's eyes instantly turned red. He felt that it was because the eldest wife had not set a good example, which made his mother feel disappointed and want to separate the family.
"Mom, I don't care what outsiders think. I just feel that if we split up, we are no longer a family."
Mr. Shen: "Do you think we are a family now?"
The house was in a mess and everyone was displeased with each other. They quarreled and made a lot of noise every day, which gave him a headache.
Shen Jianjun was speechless and scratched his hair in annoyance. The middle-aged man's face was full of vicissitudes. Wei Shufen felt sorry for the man, so she walked over and poured him a glass of water, and also poured a glass each for Old Lady Shen and Old Man Shen.
Wang Cuixia saw her pouring water and thought that the family property was going to be divided, so she also stood up to pick up things, but she didn't want to do heavy work, so she picked up the two unbroken bowls in the house and put them next to the kang.
Shen Hongjun glared at Wang Cuixia.
He felt that the property should not be divided. The second wife had no boy, and Sanzhuzi was not married yet, so they would not get anything good. After the division, each family would live their own life, and they would not be able to enjoy the money that Shen Xingjiang handed over every month.
Wang Cuixia certainly knew that Shen Xingjiang made a lot of money every month, but she also knew that the old lady had a lot of good things in her hands. These two old men were not young anymore, and who knew when they would pass away. She had to endure the hardship of serving them. If her mother died and left the good things to others, wouldn’t she be the one being taken advantage of?
If the family splits up, they will have money and live a good life, which may not be a wrong choice.
The eldest wife wants to divide the family property, which makes the old man and the old lady very disappointed.
The second wife is worried about whether the division can be equal. How should the two elderly people divide it?
As for the third room, it doesn’t matter, you can divide it however you want.
Old Mrs. Shen hasn't taken care of household affairs these days. In fact, she is thinking about this matter. She can't bear to do it because they are all her flesh and blood. After giving birth to three children, she also hopes that they can be a family forever.
But this is a wrong idea. When people start their own families, it is impossible for them to remain a family forever.
Old Mrs. Shen has had enough of this family.
She smiled with relief: "Don't worry."
She took out a newspaper package from the bottom of the cabinet, which contained a stack of money and two land deeds.
"Here is a total of 165 yuan." She put the money on the kang, and spread out two land deeds on the kang: "These two pieces of land were approved by your father and I from the state in the early years. Each piece of land is 130 square meters, 88 square meters of residential land, and 42 square meters of private land. The location is the two vacant lots on the east side by the river."
Wang Cuixia swallowed her saliva greedily: "The east end is good land. I have always wondered why no one has built a house there. The land is fertile and you can grow whatever you plant. There is no need to dig a well because it is close to the river. I didn't expect that the land belongs to us!"
As for the two land deeds, the second room must have one!
