Then he sighed: "Dongmei, there's nothing we can do about this situation. The Chen Hua brothers are not on the same page, but the eldest brother is okay. Although your sister-in-law occasionally takes advantage of small things, in the final analysis, it's all for her own children. This is normal in a big family. No matter who it is, they will definitely side with their own children.
But forget about that brother-in-law. Don't get involved with him in the future. Fortunately, Chen Hua is not a confused person. As long as he is on your side, this is not a problem. Even if you suffer some losses when you divide the family, it is nothing.
You have only been married for a few years and are still young. As long as you live a good life in the future, you both have jobs and life will not be difficult.
But if we go tomorrow, we won't really let you suffer any loss. As the eldest brother, he is favored by the higher-ups, and your younger brother is spoiled by your mother-in-law. So Chen Hua is stuck in the middle and suffers."
Jiang Dongmei also felt aggrieved. Although there wouldn't be a big quarrel at her husband's house, there would always be some dirty talk between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and between the sisters-in-law. As a man, Chen Hua couldn't always quarrel with his sister-in-law. His mother-in-law was not a reasonable person, and she didn't want her husband to be scolded. But she could only feel aggrieved.
Fortunately, Chen Hua loves his wife very much. No matter what happens, he will take the blame on himself first, thinking that he has wronged his wife. At this time, even if she is angry or wronged, most of the anger and resentment will disappear. At least her man is on her side, which is more effective than anything else.
"I won't talk about these anymore. Anyway, we've said we're going to split up, so it won't matter if we each live our own lives in the future.
"Tell me how you plan to divide the family property so I can have a better idea of what's going on and avoid being criticized tomorrow. How do you and Chen Hua plan to divide the money and the house? Do you have a plan in mind?"
Jiang Dongmei had said before when she came back that she really wanted to split up the family business, and she had discussed it with Chen Hua, so Zhao Yun knew that the two of them must have their own plans.
Chen Dongmei is very conflicted now. Of course they don't want the house. She doesn't want to live with her in-laws at all. Otherwise, what's the difference between separating and not separating? But it's not easy to find a suitable house to move out.
"Chen Hua and I planned to sell the house for cash and rent a place ourselves, but it's hard to find a place these days. We asked people to find a place, but they said it was either too small or too far from where we work. They also said they would pay us one month's rent if we lived there. If they needed the house, they could ask us to move out at any time. Where would we find a place to live then?"
Zhao Yun really couldn't give any advice on this matter. After all, she was just a rural woman who had never traveled far.
"Then what should we do? Didn't you tell Chen Hua's company when to allocate housing? Even if it costs a little money, it doesn't matter if the house is a little worse. At least it's ours."
Jiang Dongmei shook her head. "We've asked around before, and family housing is very tight. There are families where housing is particularly tight, and those with the longest service are allocated first. People like us can only wait for the company to build more family housing, but we don't know when that will be. At least not in the next few years, otherwise we would have heard the news a long time ago."
Nothing works, nothing works, Zhao Yun is at a loss.
"Let's not talk about the house for now. Do you have any idea of how much property you will get?"
Jiang Dongmei didn't say anything, but did a rough calculation in her mind.
Said: "The money before the wedding doesn't count. After all, my brothers and I spent a lot of money on our weddings at that time, and my parents-in-law probably didn't have much money left.
After we got married, Chen Hua and I gave our family 16 yuan every month. At that time, we took into consideration that my brother-in-law was not married yet and that my parents-in-law were under pressure, so neither of us said anything.
This is really a lot. This money is just for the family's food expenses. Daily necessities for the small family, or buying some cookies and candies for the children are all extra money you have to spend.
The monthly food expenses for an adult are only two or three yuan, and the monthly living expenses for one person in an ordinary family are only about five yuan. After all, it is rare to eat meat throughout the year, even for families in the city, so the food expenses are really not small.
"We have been paying living expenses every month since we got married, and so have my eldest brother and sister-in-law. My father-in-law's monthly salary is 52.85, which is much higher than Chen Hua and his eldest brother. Apart from my younger brother-in-law's wedding, there haven't been any major expenses at home in recent years. My parents-in-law should have at least a few hundred yuan in their hands. If we divide it into four parts, we should get more than 300 yuan.
If the house is given to my eldest brother, it should be converted into money for us. The details still depend on what my father-in-law and others say. "
At least Zhao Yun had an idea after hearing this, so that the old couple wouldn't say they had no money or try to fool people by taking out a hundred or eighty yuan.
She was mainly afraid that they would compensate the eldest and the youngest in private. After so many years of being in-laws, they more or less understood each other. Chen Hua's mother favored the youngest son and wished that the two older brothers would give the younger one anything good. His father, on the other hand, was a bit old-fashioned and relied on the eldest son for everything. He believed that the family property should be given to the eldest son most and he should also be supported by his father in the future.
If it were other people, they would definitely think that at worst they would get less money. Anyway, the boss would take care of him in his old age, so they just need to give him some money and visit more often.
Don't believe this kind of talk. If you don't fight or compete now, you will be taken care of in all aspects of retirement in the future. Some people may even say that the elders have taken care of you for so many years and you are not filial, but they will not say that they were biased when dividing the family property.
Moreover, the old man is still receiving a salary now and will receive a pension in the future. Even without him saying anything, everyone knows who the money will be given to in the end.
So some things must be said in advance. If you don’t say them now, it will be useless to say anything later after things are settled.
"Okay, I know all this. I'll find time to tell your father tomorrow.
For so many years, he, the brigade secretary and the accountant have been in charge of the division of property in our brigade. They know more than we do. Tomorrow, no matter what your parents-in-law say, either wait for Chen Hua to speak or wait for your father to speak later. Don't make a fuss, otherwise people will think you are ignorant.
Jiang Dongmei knew her mother was doing this for her own good, so she nodded. "I see, Mom. Then will it be just you and my dad going tomorrow?"
Zhao Yun shook his head, then nodded, "I originally thought your father could just take your two brothers with him to divide the family, but thinking about your mother-in-law, I decided to go with you. That old woman might start yelling, and I wouldn't know how to respond.
Brother Chen Hua and his wife have gone back to their parents' home tonight, and I guess someone will come tomorrow. Not to mention your brother-in-law, his father-in-law will definitely come.
Generally speaking, when brothers divide up their family property, it's the uncle who presides over it. In your case, would your father-in-law ask Chen Hua's uncle to come?"
