For a moment, no one spoke in the room, and the situation remained deadlocked.
Wang Xiumin looked at the situation and realized that it was obviously not in her favor.
She made up her mind, stood up and said, "Goudan must get married. I've already found a girl. I just need to give her thirty yuan, and we can take care of the rest ourselves."
"Thirty yuan?" Mrs. Xu was immediately furious. Why didn't she just go and rob it? He wanted another thirty yuan!
The others were also quite surprised, but the price is about the same now, so if you have food, you can give more.
Anyway, I've never heard of anyone marrying a wife without spending money. That's definitely impossible.
"Are you crazy about money? How can you marry a wife with only 30 yuan?" Old Mrs. Xu immediately got angry.
What's the point of getting married? She thought that the couple just wanted money.
It has to be said that other people's thoughts were the same as the old lady's. After all, Xu Laosan and his wife were both sneaky and cunning, so how could they possibly arrange a marriage for their child?
"Mom, you don't agree?" Wang Xiumin actually expected this result.
But after the real thing happened, she felt unbalanced again.
Don't think she doesn't know that Xu Xiangmin took five yuan every semester, not including food coupons.
It's for study, but who would bring five yuan for study? That would be ten yuan for the whole year.
This is not to mention other things. Xu Xiangmin makes two new sets of clothes every year, but Xu Xiangyang doesn't have any.
As a mother, she couldn't bear to see this happen.
"What do you mean by agree or disagree? It's lucky enough that our family hasn't starved to death in the past few years. You're already making trouble after just two years of having enough food to eat?" Old Mrs. Xu was unhappy and just disagreed.
Wang Xiumin was determined. She decided to either get the money today or study the matter later.
Either we split up, we must split up.
"Mom, it's okay if you don't want Xiangyang to get married. Let's split up the family. We can arrange it ourselves in two years." She sat down and was no longer so anxious.
Split up the family?
When this was mentioned, everyone's eyes widened.
In addition to the family of the eldest Xu, the family of the second Xu was also very happy. It was good to divide the family. Although they had only daughters, they could leave some betrothal gifts after they got married to support them in their old age.
Besides, everyone knows what the situation is at home, but no one says it out loud. After all, the old lady is still strong, and no one can say anything excessive.
"Don't even think about it. If you want to divide the family, why don't you divide me?" Old Mrs. Xu stood up and refused to agree.
The Xu family remained silent. With the old lady behind them, they couldn't possibly split up the family business.
It was Mr. Xu, who had been silent all this time, who suddenly spoke.
"Let's divide it up. Let's separate the third brother's family. The rest of us can live together."
A hint of joy flashed in Wang Xiumin's eyes. Although the old man usually didn't talk, he must be the one to make the decision on matters like dividing the family property.
Even though the old lady is noisy every day, the old man is still the one who makes the decisions on important matters.
"Are you crazy? The family is divided..." Old Mrs. Xu wanted to know what to do with the eldest son's family.
But considering that everyone was here, he stopped talking.
In fact, even if she stopped, others would understand what she meant.
You see, the old couple only have Boss Xu's family in their eyes, and everyone else is just working for Boss Xu.
The room suddenly became quiet, and Old Mrs. Xu fell silent. Except for Boss Xu's family, everyone else looked at her with some indignation.
Xu Dazhi coughed, knowing that the children all wanted to divide the family property, but the eldest son's family really couldn't afford to send their children to school.
However, he couldn't stand the fact that the third brother's family was not good at anything and they left nothing after eating.
Instead of continuing like this, it would be better to separate the third brother's family.
"Since you want to split up, then let the third brother's family go out and live on their own." He waved his hand and directly separated Xu Laosan's family.
Wang Xiumin's eyes flashed with joy, and she felt that this old man was the most pleasing to her eyes today.
"Then give us some food. At least we should be given some food when we divide the family, right?" She didn't forget these things.
Otherwise, even if they were divided up, the money my son earned in a month would not be enough to feed three people.
What's more, I originally wanted my son to have a bright future, not to support the family.
"No!" Old Madam Xu was not happy about the division of the family property in the first place, and now she was asked to give food? She was dreaming!
Wang Xiumin was immediately unhappy. They wanted to divide the family but they didn’t give them food. Would the three of them starve to death if they went out?
Xu Dazhi also knew that it was impossible not to give food, so he thought for a moment and said, "Take 300 kilograms of corn, is that too much?"
These three hundred kilograms may seem like a lot, but it will still be almost a year before the autumn harvest.
How can these three hundred kilograms be enough to eat?
"Dad, how long can you eat 300 kilograms? It will be gone before the New Year." Xu Guangtian knew that if he didn't speak up, he would be beaten by his wife when he got home at night.
Wang Xiumin looked at him with appreciation and said, "If you don't say anything, I'll make you cry at night!"
At first, everyone else thought it was not a good idea to separate Xu Guangtian's family, but then they thought that if only one person in a family of three went out to work, the other would be idle.
There is only one person left who walks the cat and dog. It would be better to give it away. What he earns in a day is not enough for food. There is really no point in keeping it.
Although Xu Laoer's family also wanted to share the land, they didn't dare to say anything because their superiors didn't give it to them.
Both of them are timid and submissive, and no one dares to mention the matter of dividing the family property.
The remaining children were indignant, but they didn't say anything. After all, they were all girls and would get married when they grew up. Who would care about the troubles at home?
Xu Dazhi didn't want to give more food, but he was also unwilling to help Xu Xiangyang find a wife.
My eldest grandson still needs to spend money to marry a wife, so I can’t give the money to others now.
"Give me another 100 kilograms of potatoes and 50 kilograms of cabbage. There's nothing left. Share it or not." He threw down these words. This was the bottom line.
When Mrs. Xu heard that so many things had been given away, she almost fell to the ground out of heartache.
She glared at Wang Xiumin fiercely. If this woman spoke again, she would definitely hit her!
Wang Xiumin also knew that if she asked for more, she would not be able to divide the family. Think about it, 300 kilograms of food would only last until the New Year at most.
She would wait until Xu Xiangyang's job was stable and then think of a solution. Anyway, they couldn't continue to be together.
"Okay, but there have to be enough dishes and chopsticks for three people at home, otherwise we won't have anything to eat." Her request was not excessive.
Old Mrs. Xu didn't say much. She asked the eldest daughter-in-law to clean up the dishes and took Xu Guangtian and his wife to the cellar.
The cellar is neither cold nor hot, so we usually put vegetables and grain there.
"You two wait upstairs, eldest brother, come with me to load the things." Old Mrs. Xu asked them to stay outside and refused to let them go down.
Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes but didn't care. She had to accept the part that was short of weight anyway, otherwise she wouldn't be able to accept it.
The amount given is not much to begin with, isn't it bullying if you still shortchange me?
We have to keep an eye on her, this old lady is very cunning.
