Mother Liu paused to take a sip of water and continued, "As for what you said about the Quan Fang family getting nothing, that's impossible. Even though my daughter-in-law has offended He Lai Di and Accountant Li, her son, grandchildren, and grandchildren are still hers. No matter how much she hates them, she can only hate her daughter-in-law, right?
The only result was that the two elders became enemies with Quan Fang's wife. Actually, I think Quan Fang's wife's behavior today is also due to his eldest son. He didn't even know what the people around him were thinking, and he didn't correct them in time. This is his dereliction of duty as a husband.
As the saying goes, raising a son provides for your old age. I don't think that's necessarily true; it largely depends on the wife your son marries. If your brother Quan Fang weren't smart or if he and his wife were similar, after the family split, he'd be influenced by her whispering and aligning with her, perhaps even resenting Accountant Li and his wife. Even if your brother Quan Fang were smart, he wouldn't separate from his wife for the sake of their three children. After all, she's not against the children, and she's doing it for their small family. After marriage, everyone prioritizes their small family.
In fact, there's a good chance that your brother Quan Fang will eventually become as snobbish as his wife. After all, two people can sleep in the same bed, and it's hard not to be influenced by such constant companionship. That's why they say you should marry a virtuous woman," Liu's mother explained.
"According to what you said, mother, it is unlikely that Accountant Li and his wife will rely on Brother Quan Fang when they are old. In that case, I think it would be better for them to split up the family business so that they can get more money for their retirement. After all, we don't know what will happen to Li Quanmin in the future. Mother, how will Accountant Li's family split up in the end?" Xuemei asked curiously.
"Accountant Li's division was relatively fair this time. He has four rooms in total, and Li Quanfang's family received two. One of these rooms will be used to cover the medical expenses Li Quanfang paid today. The two families now share the main room, and Li Quanfang can share the kitchen until the new one is built."
As for money, their family has 250 yuan left in addition to today's 50 yuan medical expenses. Li Quanfang used 100 yuan to marry his wife, and now he has to leave 100 yuan for Li Quanmin to marry his wife. As for the remaining 150 yuan, Accountant Li and his wife will use 100 yuan as coffin expenses, and the remaining 50 yuan will be given to Li Quanfang because he has three children to support.
Their bicycle costs 150 yuan, and Quan Fang's family now gets 50 yuan. If Quan Fang wants to use it by himself, he has to give Accountant Li and his family 100 yuan, so now they still share the bicycle.
"The remaining grain at home is being divided among the people, and this year's work points are calculated individually. However, He Lai Di has been taking care of their children for a long time this year. After the Li Quanfang family divides their grain, they will give your Aunt He 200 kilograms of coarse grains. As for the pension, it's the same as ours, so this year we'll only give her four months' worth," Liu's mother explained in detail.
"I think Quan Fang's family got the better deal. It's like Li Quanmin now has a house to live in and 100 yuan to marry a wife, but this year he may not get any work points, and he won't get any food in the village." Xuemei thought for a while and said.
"That's right. Actually, Accountant Li and his wife put the entire burden of raising their youngest son on them. Even your brother Quan Fang's wife accused Accountant Li and his wife of being biased, saying a coffin wouldn't cost a hundred yuan, and that a grandmother needed food to take care of her grandchildren. Accountant Li was so angry that he immediately said that from tomorrow on, you, Brother Quan Fang, will take care of the two little ones yourself, and Aunt He will be responsible for five work points a day."
"She should be treated. The 100 yuan that Accountant Li and the others have shared includes pension money. I think it's too little. If she gets sick in the future, I can count on her.
She always thought it was her parents' natural duty to take care of their children, but she didn't realize that this presupposed she had to provide them with food. Otherwise, where would the food come from if they didn't work? "Xuemei said.
"I'm very pleased that you can understand these things. It means your parents have taught you well." Liu's mother thought.
"You two, mother and daughter, are still talking." Father Liu said as he walked into the main room.
"Dad, now that you've finished your shower, I'm going to bed too. Don't worry, Dad and Mom, you've educated me very successfully, and I will be filial to you in the future." Xuemei said seriously to Liu's father and mother.
After Xuemei went into the room, Liu's father asked in confusion, "Li Niang, what's wrong with this child so late at night?"
The touching atmosphere of Liu's mother was suddenly disrupted. She glanced at Liu's father and said, "You are crazy. Can't you see that Xuemei is expressing her determination to us? You are a wooden-headed person. I can't explain it to you." After saying this, Liu's mother went to take a shower.
Father Liu scratched his head and became even more confused.
