Ge Cuihua had lived with him for half her life and had rarely seen him so angry.
I dare not provoke them again.
A dog that bites doesn't bark, but an honest person can be deadly when they get angry.
"If you're going to break up, then break up! Why are you making such a fuss?" Ge Cuihua whispered.
Anyway, the money is all in her hands, so she has the final say.
If the eldest son's family wants to split up, then they won't get a single penny.
Liu Zhuzi asked Liu Xiaohai to invite the newly appointed village party secretary and several respected elders in the village.
As dusk settled, the family sat hungry in the courtyard, waiting for the division of their property.
The newly appointed village party secretary and several elderly people sat at the head of the table.
"Zhu Zi, are you really going to split up the family?" an old man asked.
"Separate! The kids are all grown up, it's better to separate sooner rather than later."
"Alright, how should this family be divided? You need to come up with a plan."
"There's not much to say. The land, house, and money will all be divided into four parts. I'll keep one part, and the rest will be given to the three kids," Liu Zhuzi said, counting on his fingers.
"What? No way!"
There's no need to divide the second and third children; just separate the eldest child.
They will be given the house they live in now, and the two acres of land by the river will also be given to them.
"They have no money to give me; they still have money they haven't handed over to me," Ge Cuihua said unreasonably.
Liu Xiangxi hasn't returned yet, so Bai Ying is representing the second son's family alone.
She's been wanting to separate from the family for so long she's almost gone crazy. She's finally gotten around to someone bringing it up again, but who knows when it will be again.
After ten years of hardship, she finally became a mother-in-law. She didn't want to be controlled by her mother-in-law after her son got married.
She also wanted to act like a mother-in-law.
Liu Xiangbei and his wife were even more eager to separate their household. They were also keeping a huge secret from their family, and they felt more at ease if they separated their household sooner.
"Mom, why don't we just split it all up this time?" Liu Xiangbei tentatively suggested.
"Third son, didn't you say you were going to take care of Mom in her old age? You want to separate from the family too?" Ge Cuihua suddenly looked pitiful, as if she had been abandoned by her son.
"Even if we separate, it won't stop me from taking care of you in your old age, Mom. Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of you from now on," Liu Xiangbei coaxed sweetly.
“Yes, Mom, Xiangxi and I will definitely take care of you in your old age. We just happened to invite the Party Secretary and the others here today, so let’s divide it up together?” Bai Ying added.
Liu Zhuzi could tell from the look that the children had long wanted to separate from the family, but they just hadn't brought it up.
Okay, let's split it all together today.
He made the decision immediately: "Then we'll divide them all up."
Ge Cuihua is a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. Today, Liu Zhuzi lost his temper, and she really doesn't dare to provoke him now, so she has no choice but to accept it.
“Go and get the money from the house,” Liu Zhuzi said.
Ge Cuihua went into the inner room and lingered for a while before coming out.
"Look, we only have a few hundred yuan left at home. Let's divide it up cleanly."
Everyone in the room understood that Ge Cuihua was hiding something; how could such a large family only have a few hundred yuan in savings?
"Mom, that can't be right. How could our family only have this little money?" Bai Ying asked directly and bluntly.
Ge Cuihua glared at her.
"Want money? Go find the boss, he has over four thousand yuan in his pocket, make him take it out and share it!"
Everyone looked at Liu Xiangdong.
"I've already said that this money is for Hanghang's tuition, and I would never take it out."
"Secretary, elders, my son Hanghang just got into university this year. As you all know, this money is what the three of us worked hard to earn over the past two months to pay for his tuition," Liu Xiangdong said righteously.
Lin Guihua added, "We give all the money we earn to Mom, but now that our child is in school, the family says they can't afford the tuition. We have to find a way ourselves."
"We finally managed to earn some money, and now you want more? Are you even human?"
There was a moment of oppressive tension, followed by endless silence.
The newly appointed village party secretary stepped forward and said, "It's a good thing that the child is successful. Hanghang is the pride of our Qingshan Village."
"I absolutely cannot neglect my studies; this money really cannot be divided."
Several elders chimed in, saying, "Studying is a great thing that brings honor to one's ancestors. So many people hope that their children will be successful."
"Yes, we need to set aside money for our children's education!"
Ge Cuihua pouted unhappily, telling them all to side with Liu Dong's family.
"The tuition fee shouldn't be that much, right?"
"Cuihua, what are you saying? Shouldn't we leave some money for the children's food? I've made the decision today, and you can't touch the children's money." It wasn't even earned by her, yet she's just giving orders blindly.
Ge Cuihua was so angry that she felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Liu Yihang decided to add some fuel to the fire by secretly planting a truth-telling talisman on Liu Xiangbei.
Then he stepped forward and said, "Grandma, we still have money to distribute!"
While everyone was puzzled, Liu Yihang went straight to the point and asked Liu Xiangbei, "Third Uncle, I heard you opened a general store in town and you must be making quite a bit of money every month?"
Liu Xiangbei thought to himself, "I would never tell you the truth."
Then, when he opened his mouth, he said uncontrollably, "It's alright, making two thousand yuan a month is no problem."
"My God! You earn two thousand a month, how much do you give to my grandma?" Liu Yihang asked loudly, feigning surprise.
Liu Xiangbei was terrified, but he couldn't help but tell the truth: "My mother, that old hag, is so old and still wants to control the family's finances. Giving it to her is like throwing a meat bun to a dog; it's gone forever."
Fang Fang was so frightened by her husband's sudden outburst of family secrets that she almost wet herself.
"No, we're just employees, just employees. Xiang Bei, don't talk nonsense."
However, it was clear that any explanation she gave was too weak, and Liu Xiangbei's words were absolutely true.
Ge Cuihua was already glaring at the third son and his wife with gritted teeth, wishing she could take a bite out of them.
Bai Yinglin, Guihua, and the others were pleasantly surprised; they hadn't expected to stumble upon such a juicy tidbit!
Liu Xiangbei actually called his mother an old hag.
"Third Uncle, aren't you the bosses?" Liu Yihang continued to ask.
Liu Xiangbei covered his mouth with his hand, but it was to no avail.
"Of course I'm the boss. With your third aunt's eldest brother's terrible appearance, how could he possibly afford to open a shop?"
"Heaven is going to destroy him," this is not what he wanted to say.
"Since that's the case, and we haven't separated the family, the shop you run is technically family property, right?"
Uncle and Aunt, could you please share the money you've earned over the past two years?
Two thousand a month, that's twenty-four thousand a year, and forty-eight thousand in two years.
"If it's divided into four parts, our family can get 12,000."
The crowd who had just been watching the spectacle were shocked when they heard Liu Yihang's calculation. Such a large sum of money!
Wouldn't that mean a family could instantly become a millionaire after splitting up their property?
