Chapter 7 How do you want to divide the family?

There was a sudden burst of fierce shouting in the main hall of the Zhai family.

No one expected that the third son's wife had such a big appetite. She not only wanted a share of the land, but also wanted the best farmland.

Several women in the family started arguing loudly. After yelling at the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu pointed the gun at the second daughter-in-law, but she did not dare to swear at the third daughter-in-law directly.

She was also afraid that the third son's wife would insist on sharing the money that the third son brought home. All the money had been hidden in her box. It was her money.

No one can make her spit out a penny!

"If you keep making trouble, this family won't be divided!" Mrs. Liu shouted loudly, and finally looked at Wang Ziru, "Third wife, which piece of land do you want?"

Wang Ziru sneered: "Are you really planning to swallow up all the money my man sent home?"

"Considering that the third child is not at home, you and your son have no one to rely on. As a mother, I am not partial. As long as you ask, I can consider sharing it with you." Mrs. Liu did not mention the money.

"Okay, you said that yourself." Wang Ziru's meaning was very simple. Even if the money was not handed over, everyone had to know clearly that although the third son of the Zhai family was not at home, he had made a huge contribution to the family.

"Third son's wife, don't speak without thinking. The Zhai family only has a few plots of land. If mom is unwilling to share the money with us, how to divide the land is a matter between her and you. A lazy woman like you has no right to compete with me for the good land in our family." Liu Xiangqin said this without fear of tongue slipping.

But her attitude was very tough. Since her mother-in-law refused to share the money, she had no say over the land.

"You still don't take my mother seriously, do you?" Mrs. Liu slammed her hand on the table and yelled.

She pointed at her eldest daughter-in-law and scolded her, "You married into the Zhai family. Did you give birth to a son for them or something?"

Xu Ping burst out laughing, "Mom, what you said is very fair."

"You, you guys..." Liu Xiangqin felt insulted. Being infertile was the last thing she could mention. She was so angry that she couldn't utter another word.

Mrs. Liu pointed the gun at the second daughter-in-law again, "You, Xu Ping, don't be so happy. Have you given birth to a son for the Zhai family in these years?"

"Mom! I gave birth to two daughters..."

"What good will these two little girls do when they grow up? Tell me, can they farm the land, or make a living? Or can they provide for my son in his old age?"

Xu Ping's face was full of grievance, and she kicked her man's leg directly, "It's all your fault!"

"Why blame me? Having children is your job as women..." Zhai Jiahao shirked responsibility with one sentence.

Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "Don't argue about these things. Just give birth to the child, no matter whether it is a daughter or a son. I heard that in a few years, the higher-ups may tighten the policy on childbirth."

"But this is not what we are going to discuss today. Third daughter-in-law, tell me, which piece of land do you want?"

No one took Mr. Zhang's words to heart, and they were all anxious about how much of the property they could get.

Wang Ziru stretched out her hand and said, "Village Chief Li, let me take a look at the fields at home."

Village Chief Li stood up and handed her the Zhai family's land distribution map. "If you don't know how to grow rice, you should give the paddy fields to the two families."

"Whether I plant it or not is my business, but this thing belongs to me, not a single bit less."

The other two were so angry that they vomited blood.

Wang Ziru looked through the distribution of the Zhai family's arable land. Relying on her memory, she knew which fields of the Zhai family were easy to cultivate.

After reading it, she said calmly: "The paddy field at the door was given to me by Xiao Wang Qiufen. And then..."

"How shameless of you! Do you know how to grow rice? And you still want this piece of land in front of your door?"

"That's right! There are only two people in your family, and you want such a big piece. Do you want us to live?"

After hearing what her two sisters-in-law said, Wang Ziru asked back, "Is my husband dead? There are still two of us!"

"Third son's wife, according to this policy, when the land was distributed in the village, in the case of your third son, we don't know whether he is an officer in the army or not, so we didn't get his land."

Wang Ziru felt that this was not going to work. "Just like I said just now, let's add another piece of dry land, the one behind the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the second son of the Zhai family object, "No! You have no share in the paddy field."

"This piece of land behind the house is so big, but I can't give it to you." Xu Ping agreed.

Wang Ziru snorted coldly, "You can't have it all, right? You won't give me the money, and you won't give me the land? Do you want to go to the commune and ask Secretary Liu to come and divide the property for us?"

Mr. Zhang puffed on his water pipe and looked at Mrs. Liu, "What do you think, sister?"

"Just as you said, these three plots of land will be given to the third son." Mrs. Liu made the final decision.

The eldest daughter-in-law Liu Xiangqin was the first to object, "Mom! If you divide it this way, all the good land will be given to the third child, right? Tomorrow, Zhai Qingsong and I will go through the divorce procedures."

"What are you making a fuss about? You don't allow others to say anything when your belly is not working?" Mrs. Liu pointed at Wang Ziru reluctantly, "The third daughter-in-law gave birth to a son for the Zhai family. Can't you see it?"

"Let's get divorced. We can't live like this anymore. I married into your Zhai family. I have no credit but I have suffered a lot. But you scold me all day long for not giving birth to a son. I heard the doctor say this. Maybe it's your son who is infertile." Liu Xiangqin quoted the words of a female doctor in the town.

"You idiot! Have you ever seen a man who can't have children? If you can't have children, it's because you don't lay eggs. How dare you blame my son?"

Zhai Jiahao said impatiently: "Mom! Stop arguing."

"I don't agree with the land that the third daughter-in-law wants. If you agree to give it to her, I won't give you food for your old age in the future."

Hearing the second son Zhai Jiahao's tough tone, Liu Xiangqin looked at him with a joking look on her face, "Yes! If the good land is given to the third son, we don't have to weigh the food for the elderly, and let the third son take care of you in your old age."

Mrs. Liu is really a nobody and has offended the whole family.

At this moment, he could only get angry and look to Village Chief Li and Master Zhang for help.

At this time, Mr. Zhang looked unhappy and asked in a hard voice, "Zhai Jiahao, you are Liu Xiulan's son, and you can say such things. Who can you count on for your mother's support in the future? Are you counting on other people's sons to support your mother in her old age?"

Village Chief Li smiled faintly, "It is the responsibility of each of you descendants to take care of your parents in their old age. Let's do this. I will divide up the fields by drawing lots. Each of you will send a representative to decide which field to draw. The field that belongs to the family will be the land."

It sounds like there's nothing wrong with what he said.

Wang Zirushi had no intention of saying anything. In fact, no matter which piece of land she was allocated, she would not farm it seriously.

Ten minutes later, Village Chief Li put the paper balls into a dustpan and sifted them. "Each of you grab three first..."

The three daughters-in-law of the Zhai family arrested three people respectively in order of seniority.

Wang Ziru was indeed not meant to have a good field.

She only caught the cornfield at the back of the yard.

And two barren fields reclaimed from the hills behind the village.

Wang Ziru looked at the three unfolded paper balls and laughed at her own luck.

"So, I won't be able to eat rice in the future?"
