Chapter 8: Separation

The third son Zhang Yaozu and his wife Tian Xiaofang both frowned.

Although Zhang Yaozu was a driver at the commune grain station, Tian Xiaofang was unemployed and his three sons had enough to eat.

As long as the family remains together, with support from the eldest brother and his wife, life will be better.

The old man took in everyone's expressions and continued:

"The houses in the house are divided according to where you live now.

There are five main rooms. The two on the east side and the one next to ours are where the eldest brother's family lives, so we gave it to them.

The three rooms in the west wing are for the second son's family.

The three rooms in the east wing are given to the third child.

There are five houses in the side yard, the fourth one has two rooms and the fifth one has two rooms.

The fourth child is not married, and the fifth child hardly lives at home, so each of them has one less room, and ten yuan is given to their family from the public fund.

The remaining room was separated and used as the kitchen for the fourth and fifth children.

The main house and the room we live in will be left to us old couple."

The room I stayed in remained basically unchanged.

"The second and third sons built a stove each next to the closet. The family contributed eight yuan, and we used the stove room.

The eldest brother doesn’t come back often, and when he does, he cooks in the kitchen.”

Grandma Zhang took out a locked box, took out a stack of money, and counted it in front of everyone. It amounted to 3,487 yuan and 69 cents.

The second and third couple's eyes lit up.

They knew there was some money at home, but they didn't expect it to be this much!

Although their family is large, they do not have much labor.

The eldest wife is not at home. The second wife and the eldest son have three laborers. The third wife has two laborers. The fourth and fifth children are not at home. The rest are children and are all in school.

The Zhang family has the most educated people in the entire brigade, including the daughters-in-law who married into the family. Except for her mother, all of them have been to school.

Zhang Yuzhen lowered her mouth and curled up into a sneer.

Her uncle is the principal of an elementary school. Even though he has not had much real power in recent years due to some reasons, he still deserves a lot of salary.

My aunt works at the post office and her salary is not low.

Two years ago, my third uncle also went to the commune to work as a driver.

I haven't heard from my fourth uncle since long ago, but although my fifth uncle rarely comes back, he still sends money every year.

Several people pay half of their salary every month, which is tens of dollars, and hundreds of dollars a year.

Adding the money earned from work points at the end of the year, it’s about one thousand a year.

After deducting the public expenses, there is still a lot left in a year.

If it weren't for the fact that their family has so many people and high expenses, and that most of the younger generation is studying, plus there are always some things that cost a lot every year, there would be even more money left!

However, this money is nothing compared to my uncle's house.

Uncle's room had a very strong attraction to her, even stronger than the feeling that had harmed Arya before.

Maybe there is a baby in the house!

Zhang Yuzhen's face was gloomy. Originally, she liked her uncle, aunt and cousin very much.

Even her eldest cousin Zhang Yuhua, who got married last year, was a softie who was easy to control and treated her well.

If they continued to obey her, treat her well, give her everything that belonged to Arya, and take her to the city, she would be filial to them in the future.

It's a pity that they insisted on going against her and didn't know what was good for them. So they shouldn't blame her for taking away everything from them!

"Each of you will pay 600 yuan, and the remaining 400 yuan will be kept by us old couple."

"We ate exactly four chickens and ducks during the Chinese New Year. The fourth and fifth children didn't have any, so I converted them into money and gave them as a gift."

Grandma Zhang took out another box, which contained some silver jewelry, three silver rings, and a necklace.

The necklace was left to the first wife, the pendant on the necklace was given to the second wife, and the remaining silver rings were given one to each of the third, fourth, and fifth wives.

When she donated her family property, the old lady did not dare to keep any gold or jade jewelry, only these few simple silver ornaments.

Zhang Yaowu looked disgusted.

He was also a little master when he was young and had seen many good things. Such a broken pendant was not something he would pay attention to at all.

I remembered what Yuzhen said, that after she fell, she could sense things and events that would be beneficial to her.

And there is a strong feeling in the main room!

Maybe it was something the old man hid before handing over his property.

He must get it!

Zhang Yuzhen glanced at her parents coldly. She was still too young and a daughter, so she had to rely on herself alone. She had no chance of getting anything from those treasures.

Every time my uncle left, my grandfather would lock those rooms. Unless my aunt and her family came back and wanted to stay, they could not enter at other times.

Otherwise, she would never let this biased couple take advantage of these good things!

"Brother, you don't live in the countryside on weekdays anyway. In order to take care of the old man more conveniently, let's switch. The three main rooms are for me, and the west wing is for you."

Zhang Yaowu looked more honest, as if he changed houses just to take care of the elderly, and there was no sign that he had any other intentions.

Zhang Yaowen sneered: "Second brother, although our yard is relatively large, it shouldn't be difficult to take care of parents just a few steps away."

The second brother couldn't pretend anymore.

"Brother, that's not what I meant." Wang Cuihua said with a look of reproach on her face.

"You and your sister-in-law are busy and don't live much, but just because the main house has a few better rooms, you don't even care about your parents. You are unfilial now that you are rich. This is the people's teacher."

[Tsk tsk tsk, you are so shameless! Greed is nothing as long as it doesn't harm others. You used your grandparents as a cover and finally pissed them off to death. It's all your fault. 】

[You are just thinking about the treasure in our basement. In the previous life, it was Zhang Yuzhen who persuaded the second master to change rooms.

My grandma didn't care where she lived, so she changed it.

As a result, in the previous life, after my grandma died of anger, my dad came back one day and saw my second grandpa carrying a large bag of soil into the main room in the middle of the night, looking very mysterious.

Later, the second wife's family seemed to be prosperous and it was obvious that they were living a good life.

After the reform and opening up, the second grandfather's family suddenly took out a large sum of money to do business, making a lot of money, and looking down on people every day. 】

Zhang Yaowen and his friends were shocked. Something was buried under their room.

I glanced at the old man and found that his brows were furrowed and he was looking at the second son with an unfriendly look.

[It's fine if he took away the opportunities of the other brothers, after all, it's the Zhang family's property.

But after the second grandfather found the baby, he secretly suppressed my father. At that time, my grandmother had passed away and my eldest aunt had remarried, leaving my father to go to the countryside to support the family.

Because of the Second Master’s misfortune, I almost couldn’t return to the city, and I was in crisis several times...】

Zhang Yaowen and the others' faces turned cold.

Chen Yuwei laughed angrily. Her mother had always wanted her to be a lady since she was young.

But starting today, she will no longer be a lady. She will be whoever she wants to be. Anyone who dares to mess with her will have no chance of having a good life!

He rolled up his sleeves, rushed to Wang Cuihua and slapped her.

Wang Cuihua looked unconvinced. She was beaten again.

Before she could resist, Chen Yuwei grabbed her collar and dragged her out.

"Come on, let's go to the brigade and ask, who among the families that divided the family property did not give the principal house to the eldest son?

Whose eldest son pays a few dozen dollars a month and is still criticized for being unfilial?

Whose girl is so evil-hearted that she is a murderer and she even robbed other people’s property…”

The third son's wife, Tian Xiaofang, was stunned.

Whose daughter-in-law is this? Is she her eldest sister-in-law?

Sister-in-law, is this something dirty?
