Chapter 116: Unfair Division of the Family
The next day, they continued their lives as usual.
The weather is getting cold, so it's time to wear thick clothes.
Liu Yunshuang took out all the cloth she had bought and prepared to make cotton-padded clothes.
The two daughters used red ones with small flowers, while she herself used dark green cloth with small flowers.
As for Xu Zhili, just use the black one.
Most boys are also this color.
When they heard that there were new clothes, the three kids were very excited and surrounded her chattering.
The brigade’s loudspeaker sounded again, asking everyone to collect their belongings in the afternoon.
As expected, they were millet and sunflower.
On the day of cleaning up, she happened to go to the county town and did not go to work.
I don’t know how many there will be, so I have to go there early in the afternoon.
People are divided into groups according to their work points and need to queue up.
"Our family's food and oil for this year will depend on this afternoon."
"Mom, I'll go with you then."
"No, there's not much stuff. You can just stay at home and look after the house."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of dried sweet potato and handed it to Xu Zhiyi.
Now this is the best snack. The ones out there are not too dry.
It tastes crunchy and sweet.
After she had given everything she wanted, she didn't expect that Du Ruohong would actually come, bringing her two daughters with her.
"Yunshuang, are you making clothes?"
"Yes, I tore off a few feet of cloth and made a cotton coat for the child."
Hearing this, Du Ruohong sighed.
“You are still good, and you live a comfortable life.
Even if we have separated, we still live in the same courtyard, so we will see each other every day."
So, this is to tell her the news.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't go out, and I didn't listen to anyone's discussion.
Have you split up yet? Isn't this what you've been looking forward to for a long time? "
She didn't say the good things directly, but what Du Ruohong was looking forward to.
The stance of not wanting to get involved is self-evident.
“Yes, the family was divided, but it was so unfair.
Did you know?
The old lady was so generous. She gave our family only one hundred out of the six hundred yuan.
Xu Lanchun counted one for herself and gave her one hundred as well.
The remaining two hundred or so, the old lady said, she wants to keep it for her retirement.”
There was no mention of Xu Lanchun in her plan at all.
Instead, if the three brothers divided it equally, that would be more than two hundred yuan!
It's so sudden, half of it is missing, and I must feel uncomfortable.
"Ah, is it divided like this?
That's really unfair, so you agreed?"
"What can I do if they don't agree? At the beginning, they said each family would get 50 yuan, but this was something that the third brother and his wife and I fought hard for.
If you still don’t agree, we won’t share it.”
Du Ruohong sighed and was extremely angry.
Xu Zhixin was also angry and started complaining.
"Second Aunt, you don't know, my grandma told me.
Lan Chun is your sister, the youngest, and she is getting married.
You brothers and sisters-in-law cannot just stand there and say nothing.
At least, a family should prepare a dowry of 20 yuan."
"Ah, and I asked you to prepare a dowry, so that would only leave you with eighty."
Liu Yunshuang was also quite surprised. She didn't expect that Old Lady Xu was so good at taking advantage of every opportunity and never missed any chance.
"It's really infuriating, isn't it? The share we got was small to begin with, and now we have to subsidize her.
He clearly has a hundred dollars in his hand, but he still asks us to pay."
Du Ruohong clapped her hands and sucked her teeth, looking very angry.
Xu Lanhe had already given her all the hundred yuan.
I guess he doesn't want the twenty dollars anymore, but instead promises her the gold bracelet in her hand. What a good plan.
I don’t know whether Xu Zhiwei contributed to this.
"Yunshuang, I'm so angry, let's not talk about the money.
The same thing happened with the rest; all we got was a bunch of junk.
All the good things were left to the old lady.
You said that after Xu Lanchun leaves, she will be alone, will she be able to use him?"
Otherwise, you would think that this person is selfish. Other people's parents are afraid that their children will suffer.
They were given the best, but when it came to Old Mrs. Xu, the opposite was true.
I wish I could drain all my son away.
"Then at least we should separate, sister-in-law. Life will be better in the future."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Hearing this, Du Ruohong rarely showed a smile.
"Yeah, it's a blessing in disguise.
If she hadn't threatened to commit suicide, I would never have agreed to such an unfair division of the family property.
That’s not all. In the future, we will have to ask her to cook and give her 20 kilograms of food per month.
She also needs to be given fifty yuan every year as pension until she can no longer move.
The three brothers take turns to serve, you see, I won’t talk about my daughter anymore.”
Sure enough, there are a lot of things to complain about.
These outrageous actions are indeed something that Grandma Xu can do.
"Mom, we are separated now. Why don't you give my aunt the twenty yuan dowry? You are showing off for nothing."
Xu Zhixin was extremely impatient and hated the mother and daughter.
"That's right, isn't five hundred dollars enough? You actually want to rob us. How shameless."
Xu Zhinian was also extremely angry, especially towards Xu Lanchun and her daughter, whom he was extremely dissatisfied with.
"No, didn't they also find a pair of silver bracelets and a longevity lock that day? Those are valuable too, why didn't they share them?"
"Oh, how could it be possible not to tell.
The old lady said that it was passed down in the family and gave it directly to Xu Lanchun.
Consider it as her dowry and it can be passed down in the future.
Listen to what you are saying! Since it is handed down, it must be the eldest son and grandson. What does it have to do with a married woman like her? "
Well, it doesn’t sound comfortable.
However, in this era, it seems to be distributed like this.
“Alas, I gave the things to others without telling them.
The money shared will also be used to subsidize Xu Lanchun.
Sister-in-law, do you think these brothers are all adopted, and only Xu Lanchun is his biological child? "
“Who says it’s not? I doubt it too.
You don’t know, Xu Lanchun is with the old lady now.
There are two adults and a child, and they actually asked Qingqing and I to take turns cooking.
It makes me so angry. It's just a matter of course that we cook for her.
She cooks for us, and she wants food, how can that be justified?"
Liu Yunshuang smiled, looking as if she understood.
"Sister-in-law, can't you see this?
I just can't bear to see you guys sitting idle, even if we split up, I still want to establish my authority."
"Tsk, what a pity, she made a wrong calculation this time.
Qingqing said she had a stomachache, so I also had a headache. If the old lady wants to scold me, let her do it."
It turned out that I didn't come here specifically to tell her about this.
It was just to get some quiet time. Suddenly I could imagine the image of Old Lady Xu getting furious.
"Sister-in-law, it's nothing, the conditions don't allow it now.
There are several people in your family who are big laborers, and the two children are also very hardworking.
If you work hard for two years, you can build a new house for yourself.
When Zhicheng comes back, you and your whole family will be so happy!"
This point touched her heart.
Du Ruohong showed a relieved smile, but then it dimmed again: "Yunshuang, there is one more thing I need to tell you."
