Upon hearing the old lady's words, Wu Xiaocao blushed and became angry.
Her resentment towards the old lady deepened, and she felt that the old lady was deliberately embarrassing her by saying such things in public.
However, she did not refute it, since the fifty yuan was indeed borrowed from her family and had not yet been repaid.
She never actually intended to ask her family for the money.
Liu Sanya had long forgotten about borrowing money from her maternal grandmother's family, as it had been too long for her.
For someone who once had tens of thousands of yuan, fifty yuan was nothing.
"Okay, then we'll take these forty-five."
She then asked, "How will the rest be divided? What about the house?"
The old lady had already prepared, saying, "I'll give you one-fifth of the rest."
"As for the houses, the two rooms you are currently living in will also be allocated to you."
Although she really disliked Liu Sanya and hoped that the girl would leave, she had no intention of kicking her out and leaving her with nowhere to live.
However, she felt that Liu Sanya must have already decided how to live.
As expected, Liu Sanya spoke up: "This house originally belonged to our eldest son's family, and it should be allocated to us as well."
“But your whole family bullies and ostracizes our eldest son’s family, so we don’t want to live here anymore.”
She then looked at the brigade leader and said, "Brigade leader, isn't there an empty house at the end of the village? Can we live here? We will pay rent to the brigade every year."
After returning home, she had already figured out what to do after the family split up.
It's not that I haven't thought about continuing to live here and making these people envious of how well their main house is doing.
But she has to do business on the black market, and if they live together, they are very likely to be discovered.
She also had to keep the secret of the spiritual spring hidden from anyone.
That's when he thought of a place to stay that was not only far away from the Liu family's bastards, but also far away from other households in the village, so that no one would easily find out what he was doing.
The captain knew immediately that Liu Sanya had already planned this out, and his dislike for her intensified.
He didn't answer immediately, but looked at the old lady.
Seeing this, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Then let them go out. Out of sight, out of mind."
Having a place to live makes moving out even better.
Neither Liu Laoda nor Wu Xiaocao spoke. Since they were going to separate the family, they preferred to move out.
They've been living together recently, but the other residents don't talk to them, which makes them very uncomfortable.
But they felt bad about having to pay rent.
Just as Wu Xiaocao was about to speak, Liu Sanya said to her, "I'll pay the rent, you don't need to worry about it."
Although Wu Xiaocao didn't know where her daughter got the money for rent, she knew that her daughter was different now, so she didn't say anything more.
The brigade leader then looked at the village chief and several other elders, and saw that they all nodded.
Then he said, "Alright, then you can move into that empty room and pay the brigade two yuan rent every year."
That house was left behind by a family that had no heirs, and it is now under the management of the team.
Liu Sanya readily nodded, "No problem."
Then she looked at the old lady and the other women, "Since the houses we live in now have been allocated to us, we have the right to dispose of them. Now that we're not living there anymore, it's twenty yuan a room. Which of you women wants it?"
Their main house has two rooms; their parents live in one room, and the four sisters live in the other.
The other rooms are the same; the whole family squeezes into just two rooms.
If she weren't afraid the old lady would change her mind and not give her the house, and if it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be sold to outsiders, she would have wanted to sell it to someone else in the village.
If it's a family sharing the food, no one will say anything.
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
Obviously, no one expected that Liu Sanya would actually sell her current house.
The second and third wives were tempted by this. They both had sons, and it would be inconvenient for them to live together when their children grew up.
If we can buy it, our son will have a room when he gets married.
However, they dared not ask for it, and instead all looked at the old lady.
The old lady unconsciously looked at Qingyou again.
Qingyou nodded to her, thinking it was good to completely sever ties between the main branch of the family and the Liu family's old residence.
At twenty yuan a room, I believe the other two rooms would be very willing to buy.
Moreover, with an extra forty yuan, Liu Sanya would likely be more inclined to cause trouble, which would give her more leverage to exploit.
The old lady did not answer immediately, but asked instead, "Can you make decisions about matters concerning your eldest son's family?"
She now felt that Liu Sanya was right to scold him; the eldest brother was a coward who was now letting his daughter make all the decisions.
Without even asking her parents, Liu Sanya said, "My parents didn't object, so I'll make the decision."
Since Boss Liu and Xiaocao were moving out, they naturally didn't want their original house to benefit someone else.
They were happy to get an extra forty yuan, so they remained silent.
This also means that they tacitly acknowledged that Liu Sanya could make the decisions.
Seeing this, the old lady said irritably, "Fine, then it'll be twenty yuan a room."
He then asked his other three sons, "Which of you wants it?"
Liu Laoliu was the first to speak up, "We only have one daughter in our family, so we don't need her, and therefore I don't want her."
Besides, he felt uncomfortable being asked to stay in the room left by the head of the household.
The second and third wives immediately exclaimed, "We want them!"
The old lady wasn't surprised. "Alright, then I'll give you twenty yuan for each of the three rooms. You can either change rooms for the eldest son's family or keep the money for yourselves."
She treated all the wives the same, fairly and impartially.
None of the three families had any objections.
The old lady gave forty to the eldest son and twenty to her youngest son.
The remaining pots, pans, and other utensils were divided into five portions, one-fifth of which were given to the eldest son's family.
You can take everything from the big house.
