Speaking of the separation of the family, Fu Wenjing's expression turned a little colder.
"Since they all want to split up, then let them do it. Dad and Mom won't live with them."
Su Runrun was not surprised at all that Fu Wenjing would say this.
Not to mention Fu Wenjing would say that, even Su Runrun felt that Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan would not live with them.
The two of them talked, but it didn't delay their meal.
Soon, after finishing the meal, Fu Wenjing stood up.
"I've already boiled some hot water and will bring it in right away. Wife, you and the children should wash up, and I'll take care of the dishes. I'll probably have to go upstairs after I'm done, so you don't have to wait for me. Go to bed early with the children."
In fact, even if Fu Wenjing didn't remind her of this, Su Runrun would have thought of it.
But listening to Fu Wenjing's instructions, Su Runrun did not show any impatience and listened carefully.
"I know, just leave the kids to me, and you can go and get busy over there!"
Fu Wenjing brought over hot water soon, and Su Runrun took the quadruplets to wash one by one.
After they finished washing, I told them stories and played games on the kang.
It was not until their usual bedtime that the four of them closed their eyes and fell asleep, and the room fell into silence.
At this moment, it was completely dark outside and it was already past eight o'clock.
In this age without much entertainment, eight o'clock is already very late.
Especially since there was no electricity in the production team and every household was reluctant to light a lamp and burn oil, they would go to bed early.
It is not certain whether to sleep or not, but it is certain that you will get on the kang.
That is why every household has children one after another.
The Fu family had fallen into silence at this time. Regardless of whether they were sleeping or not, everyone returned to their own rooms.
But today is different.
The upper room of the Fu family was packed with people.
There were two kerosene lamps in the room, and the lights would flicker from time to time, causing the dim light to dance on everyone's faces, making their already complex expressions even more unpredictable.
After looking around, Liu Xiu'e frowned and looked at Fu Wenjing, "Seventh Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you. It's not wrong for you to love your wife, but you have to be sensible. What time is it now? It's almost midnight. Everyone is waiting here. Why hasn't your wife come yet?"
Fu Wenjing raised his eyelids and looked at Liu Xiu'e, "Who told my sister-in-law that you are waiting for my wife?"
Liu Xiu'e was stunned by the question, but quickly said, "The children have all gone to bed. Your wife is the only one among our brothers and sisters-in-law who hasn't come. If not your wife, who else could we be waiting for?"
Before Fu Wenjing could speak, Wang Maoni's voice rang out in the room.
"Waiting for whom? Waiting for me and your father!"
The moment she heard this, Liu Xiu'e immediately turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Not only Liu Xiu'e, but everyone in the room turned their heads at the same time.
Wang Maoni, holding a box in her hands, walked in one after another with Fu Chunshan.
Both of their faces were tense, and anyone could see at a glance that they were unhappy.
Liu Xiu'e forced a smile, "Mom, I was thinking that for such a big event as the division of the family, our whole family should be present. Anyway, the child must be asleep now, why don't I go and call my seventh brother's wife over?"
Wang Maoni looked at Liu Xiu'e expressionlessly, "You are worried that if everyone doesn't come, your father and I will have an excuse not to separate, right?"
"How could that be! Mom, please don't think of me like that. I don't have that idea..."
"You know whether you have it or not, so you don't need to tell me so much." Wang Maoni interrupted Liu Xiu'e impatiently, "Since your father and I have said that we want to divide the family, then we must divide it. Don't say that one person didn't come. Even if none of you come, we must divide it."
Liu Xiu'e was a little sullen. She could tell that Wang Maoni was in a bad mood at the moment, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just listened with her shoulders hunched, looking like a quail.
After Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan walked to their seats and sat down, Wang Maoni directly opened the box in her hand.
"I believe you all know exactly what our family situation is and how much income we have each year.
Since we are dividing the family, then everything should be clearly divided.
You seven brothers, each of you gets 300 yuan, and everything in your house becomes yours. Each family can get bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, and take as many sets as there are people.
As for pots and basins, I don’t have the ability to buy them for you. The pots and basins at home belong to me and your father. You can use ours before you buy a pot.
There are also farm tools at home, there are not many in total, each family can get one, you can pick one! There are also baskets and other things at home, each family can take two, and they can be divided cleanly.
As for firewood and other things, if you don't mind the trouble, you can weigh them by pound or by the number of pieces. We can share them all.
You are allowed to live in the house you are living in now. The homestead will be allocated to you after reporting to the production team tomorrow. You can decide how to build the house and how big it should be.
You can live at home until your house is built. When you move out, this yard will belong to me and your father.
Of course, if you want to move out now, I have no objection."
When Wang Maoni was speaking, everyone in the room stared at her intently and listened with their ears perked up.
It was not until Wang Maoni finished talking and stopped that there was some other movement in the room.
Zhang Chunxia's mind was really quick, and she immediately grasped the crux of the problem, "Mom, you just said so much, why didn't you tell me who you and Dad are living with?"
Wang Maoni raised her eyelids and looked at Zhang Chunxia without any emotion in her eyes.
"Who should we follow?" Wang Maoni sneered. "Your father and I are young and healthy. We can take care of ourselves. We have raised seven sons. Now the family is splitting up, and you want us to live with our sons and look at the faces of our sons and daughters-in-law. What good things are you thinking?"
After being scolded by Wang Maoni, Zhang Chunxia quickly smiled and said, "Mom, that's not what I meant. We would be so happy if you two elders would like to live with us!"
Mom, we are really worried about you and Dad. You said Dad has so many things to do every day. Mom, you injured your leg before, and the doctor told you to take good care of it and not to work. We are really worried about you two living together!"
Chen Chunlan also nodded, her face full of sincerity, "Yes, Dad, Mom, we all live in the production team. Now that the family has been divided, you and Dad want to live alone. If the people in the production team knew about this, they would definitely poke at us and say we are unfilial."
