By doing this, they were essentially dangling a carrot in front of the three brothers. Whoever was kind to the elderly couple, wouldn't the couple secretly help them out in return?
Even after the family divided their property, the three daughters-in-law wouldn't dare to disrespect the two elders unless they didn't want their inheritance anymore.
It must be said that the Liu family elders were quite skilled at hanging people.
After the family property was divided, Fu Damei and Liu Guocai lay back to each other, each angry.
Fu Damei, still angry, suddenly sat up and said in a shrill voice, "No, this family's assets are divided incorrectly."
Liu Guocai had already taken his mother's words to heart, and now, in the middle of the night, hearing his wife making a fuss, he got up in anger and slapped her.
"What's wrong with that? If you hadn't complained about your parents being unfair, would you have separated from your family?"
Fu Damei was completely stunned after being slapped.
It took her a while to come to her senses. She was about to howl when she saw her husband's fierce eyes, and she swallowed the howl back down her throat.
She covered half her face, holding her breath, and said, "The house and furniture have been divided, but what about the money and ration coupons? Our family has been doing this for so many years, surely we have some cash and ration coupons?"
Liu Guocai, who was still angry, was stunned when he heard Fu Damei's words. Then he vaguely remembered that his parents had indeed not received any money or tickets.
However, he quickly comforted himself, thinking that the money and tickets hadn't been given to him, but neither had they been given to his eldest brother and third brother!
Anyway, after the two elders pass away, their parents' money will be divided equally among the three brothers, and no one will gain an advantage.
Having figured this out, Liu Guocai straightened his face and said directly, "We're both young, and our daughter and son can earn work points too. Why are you always worrying about your parents' money for their funerals? If you have that thought, you should get up tomorrow and do more work to earn more work points. That's the right thing to do."
After saying that, he pulled the blanket over his head and fell fast asleep.
Fu Damei was woken up by her husband's silly antics and didn't sleep well all night. She had to go out to work early the next morning, and in her daze, she injured her leg.
The couple had another big argument over this.
Fu Damei felt very aggrieved. After arguing with her husband, she had nowhere to go and could only hide in her room and cry secretly.
But her husband didn't know how to comfort her, and her three daughters weren't close to her. Liu Genbao, whom she always cherished, didn't care about Fu Damei's bad mood at all. After finishing work, he went to play with other girls of similar age in the village.
For a time, Fu Damei felt as lonely as snow, as if no one understood her at all.
Even when she was angry, she still had to cook for Liu Guocai and her precious son.
Thinking of her unhelpful family, Fu Damei once again secretly cursed her entire family.
Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing were unaware of what had happened to Fu Damei after she returned home. They only noticed that after they changed their diet and started eating similar things to the other families in the village, the whispers about their family in the village had decreased significantly.
Not to mention, nowadays, my own children can no longer enjoy those crispy fried dough twists and sweet, chewy nougat.
This made the women who spread the word feel very regretful and annoyed.
If they had known this would be counterproductive, they would have preferred not to say anything!
Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world.
