Haha, look at you, Hu Shuiqing, you don't know how to deal with people. You've offended your mother-in-law and won't get anything out of you.
Shui Qing turned the kitchen knife around, and the sharp blade gleamed in the dimly lit main room.
Mother Fan shrank back in fear.
Fan Dazhu said defiantly, "Don't keep threatening us with that kitchen knife! I advise you to be smart. If you piss us off, all four of us brothers will come at you and throw you out. What can you do then?"
“Sister-in-law, I have many sons, you can’t beat them all. My mother-in-law doesn’t want to give you a share of the land, forests and property in the communal estate. If you have any backbone, you shouldn’t accept it!” With her sons backing her up, Sun Jinhua became more assertive.
"What a joke! Do you even know what it means to divide the family property? If I don't get a share of the family's fields, forests, and other valuables, then go ask the village chief and the head of the village if my husband gets a share!" Shuiqing retorted bluntly.
backbone?
She wants what she deserves; how is that not considered having backbone?
In this day and age, land is the foundation for settling down and making a living. With land, you can build a house; with land, you can have enough to eat and wear. If she doesn't want it, it will all benefit her uncle's family.
"Sister-in-law, you want to take advantage of your son to throw me out? Fine, then who goes first?"
"By then, this house will be filled with blood and lives, so there's no need to divide the family property; we can all be buried together."
Although the atmosphere was serious, for some reason, the five girls, including Da Ya, felt like laughing when they heard their mother's words.
Da Ya and Er Ya suppressed their laughter, flanking their mother on either side, and exclaimed, "Count us in! We want to be with Mom!"
"We'll go with Mother too!" Jiang Hehu and the other two shouted in unison.
Fan Dazhu and the others couldn't laugh, firstly because none of them wanted to go first;
Secondly, this house definitely belongs to their eldest son's family. They don't want to see bloodshed, let alone life.
The house was old and worn after decades of living there, but a three-room brick and tile house was a respectable one in the village. How could it be stained with blood?
Sun Jinhua smoothed things over, saying, "Sister-in-law, aren't you taking this seriously? Dazhu is still a child, how can we hold it against him? The family property should naturally be divided."
Shui Qing asked calmly: "A child? A sixteen-year-old child who's about to be married?"
Hearing Hu Shuiqing shouting for violence, and all five ingrates siding with their mother, Fan's mother knew she had to get rid of this wicked daughter-in-law!
However, "Let's wait until the boss comes back before dividing the stuff. With the boss there, he can help you move things, right?"
The main thing is that the boss is back. With a strong, grown man around, he can help cover things up, and Hu Shuiqing, being a woman, won't be able to find out anything.
“Since we’re going to wait anyway, let’s just wait a little longer. We can divide the money together when the father of the child comes back,” Shui Qing generously replied.
Fan's mother and Sun Jinhua stood there, stunned.
The second son was a scholar, quick-witted, and knew exactly where the family's land and forests were!
When the second son comes back and the family property is divided, will things still turn out well?
"No, the eldest brother will be back tonight, but we don't know when the second brother will be back!"
The eldest son is literate, so if the family divides the property, someone who can read can write the contract; there's no need to wait for the second son.” Mother Fan made the decision without room for argument.
“We only have so many things at home. Isn’t it enough to have someone who can read and write contracts? What difference does it make whether the second son is here or not? Does the second son’s family not trust us?” Sun Jinhua frowned and questioned righteously.
"My mother and sister-in-law both believe that as long as there is someone who can read and write contracts, that will be fine?"
A deep, steady voice came through, gentle and clear as jade.
