"Why do you care what they say?" Wang Maoni said coldly, "If you are really filial, don't say they are stabbing you in the spine. Even if they hold a knife to your neck, you will still be filial."

Fu Chunshan had been silent the whole time, with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking. But after Wang Maoni finished speaking, he slowly raised his head.

"Your mother didn't explain it clearly just now. We, the old couple, are going to live with the three children from the fourth room. If any of you live with us, you have to raise them as if they were your own children."

As soon as these words were spoken, everything around fell silent.

Just now he was anxious to get the two elders to spend the day with them, but now they were staring at each other, unable to say a word.

After a long while, Zhang Chunxia pulled the corners of her mouth and revealed a stiff smile, "Dad and mom are really good grandparents. These children from the fourth room have dad and mom looking after them. There will be nothing to worry about in the future."

Liu Xiu'e rolled her eyes and smiled, "Siwa's brothers and sisters have all grown up. They can work in the fields to earn work points, and they can also work at home to help their parents.

I feel relieved that they are living with my parents!"

Li Lai Di nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, don't just say you are relieved, I am relieved too."

Chen Chunlan and Li Lanying also nodded, "Yes, yes, don't worry."

Wang Maoni looked at her daughters-in-law and sneered.

When these daughters-in-law have benefits, they are like flies that smell poop and cannot be driven away.

But once they find that the benefits are no longer there, and they even have to pay something themselves, they will fly away in an instant.

Wang Maoni was not sad or upset by their behavior.

After living in the same family for so many years, Wang Maoni already knew what kind of people her daughters-in-law were.

Besides, in a way, there is nothing wrong with people considering themselves and seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

"Okay, since you all have no objections, let Lao Qi write the document, and you all sign it, and then I will divide the money among you."

"Wait!" Liu Xiu'e interrupted Wang Maoni hastily, "Mom, how do we divide the chickens at home?"

The Fu family has a large population, and they raise chickens according to the number of people, so they have a large number of chickens.

It is because we have many chickens at home that we can eat eggs every day.

It is impossible for each person to have an egg, but if you make egg soup or scrambled eggs, everyone can still have some.

In this day and age, chickens are an important asset in a family, and eggs are a way to make money.

There are countless people who use chicken butts as banks.

Liu Xiu'e was unwilling to miss such an important thing, so she had to make it clear.

Wang Maoni hadn't originally intended to monopolize those chickens, but there were too many things to do and she didn't mention it at the moment. She simply forgot.

Now when Wang Maoni heard Liu Xiu'e bring it up, she said, "Just divide it according to the number of people in each party. Don't be unhappy if you have fewer people. Even if you are given more, you can't raise them. You will still have to have your tails cut off."

Of course everyone understood this, and no one dared to dwell on such matters.

If the red armband officers who came to the countryside to inspect really found that you had raised too many chickens, they would simply catch them and kill them for food, which would be the lightest punishment. The more ruthless ones would not even leave a single chicken feather.

Liu Xiu'e smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Mom, we know this——"

Wang Maoni didn't even look at Liu Xiu'e and continued, "There's one more thing I forgot to mention. Your father and I raised you to this age, helped you marry wives and have children, and it's been so many years. Now we have to separate, and we are old, so you should give us some filial piety every year, right?

We don't ask for much, just five dollars a year for each family and fifty kilograms of food, do you have any objections?"

When Li Lai Di heard this, she immediately became anxious, "Mom, what are you talking about? The seventh brother gives that old man some money every month, as well as various coupons. Sometimes he even sends back meat and food. There are only two of us, you and my dad, so we can't use it all, and there's even a lot left. Why does he need money and food from several of us?"

Liu Xiu'e also agreed, "That's right, mother. You and father can't use it all. We have a family to support, and we have to raise children and grandchildren in the future. How can we have money and food to give to you and father? It would be fine if you don't give us some money, but why do you take it from us?"

Zhang Chunxia smiled wryly, "Over the years, our family has earned a lot of work points because of the large number of people. We should be able to get a lot of money at the end of the year, right? Now that we are dividing the family, you only give us 300. Isn't that right—"

Having said this, Zhang Chunxia stopped.

The look of wanting to say something but not being able to makes people follow her thoughts.

Fu Wenjing stood up slowly, and instead of looking at Liu Xiu'e and her sisters-in-law, he looked at Fu Lao Da and his brothers.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, you are our parents' sons. Don't you have anything to say about such a big thing as the division of the family today?"

Boss Fu's eyes dodged, "This...haven't I said everything I need to say? I'm the dumbest and I don't have anything else to say."

Fu Lao Er lowered his head and said, "I always listen to my parents."

The remaining few people said similar things.

It was obvious that they had discussed the matter with their wives and had decided to let their wives take the lead.

Fu Laoliu was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head again, "Seventh Brother, we are just digging for food in the fields, we don't have such great abilities as you..."

"You don't have my ability?" Fu Wenjing interrupted Fu Laoliu, "In the entire production team, our family was not the only one to split up. Other families didn't have a youngest son who was a company commander, but after the split up, the brothers gave all the filial piety to the elders without any reduction.

How is it that when it comes to you guys, you only want your parents to support you and are not willing to respect your parents at all?

If you really can't give anything at all, I have no objection to raising your parents by myself.

But ask yourself, is it really that you cannot afford it, or do you simply not regard your parents as your parents?

My sisters-in-law just said that you all have families to support, and you don’t have enough money to spend or food to eat. So, over the years, with such a large family living together, do we have enough money to spend and enough food to eat?

You only think about how much money you earn and how much you get. Why don't you calculate each of your food, clothing and other expenses?

Have your parents let you go hungry or freeze all these years?

Life was so hard in the first ten years. Who in the production team didn't have a few people left? Did our family lose one? How did you survive? Don't you have any idea?"
