Chapter 2020 Big Branches of the Tree (Part 2)
"I think Dad's decision is very good. When we built the food processing factory before, I asked Lu Xiaoxiao to help me register because I couldn't read. If I could read, I could register myself and wouldn't need Lu Xiaoxiao's help." Liu Baozhu said after hearing the captain's words.
"The eldest brother is very conscious. What do your two families think?"
After hearing the captain's words, Liu Baoguo and Liu Baoliang looked at each other. Since Liu Baozhu wanted to send his child to school, their children would naturally go as well, so they both agreed with the captain's decision.
The captain was relieved to see that all the things in the house had been divided up clearly and that his son and daughter-in-law had no objection to his distribution. He was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable because of the uneven distribution of things when the family property was divided.
Fortunately, this did not happen, and the pain he felt because of the separation was alleviated a lot.
"Okay, the division of the family property has been completed. Let's all come to the table to eat. After dinner, the eldest brother will go and invite a few elders from the village to be witnesses. Only then can the division of the family property be considered complete."
"I understand, Dad." Liu Baozhu said after hearing the captain's words.
After lunch, Liu Baozhu went out to call people, and soon he called several village elders to his home.
"Why did you split up when everything was going well?" the elder of the clan asked the captain.
"A big tree has many branches. The children in my family have grown up, and their children are about to get married. I thought that if I didn't divide the family, the house would be too crowded, so I just divided the family."
"Is that really the reason?"
"Yes, could you please help me look at the family division document? The children in the family all agree with me dividing the family this way." After the captain finished speaking, he handed the family division document to the eldest elder of the clan.
The patriarch took the family division document handed to him by the captain, and then read it through. There was no problem at all. The family was divided very fairly, but there was one point missing, which was a very important point.
"There is nothing wrong with your document on division of family, but why doesn't it record the annual tribute given to you by each family?" the elder of the big family asked the captain.
"My wife and I are still young and don't need their filial piety. When we are old, they can send us some money if they want to. If they don't want to, it's okay. We have our elders to take care of us in our old age." The captain explained with a smile.
"You're thinking about them."
"Great clan elder, I will send gifts to my parents during the holidays. As long as I have something delicious, I will give it to my parents." Liu Baozhu said to the captain.
"I will also send it to my parents."
"So can I."
Zhang, Wang and Zhao had no objections to what their husbands said. They thought their father was fair when dividing the family property and did not let them down, so they were willing to honor their parents.
After all, people are all made of flesh and blood. If their parents are good to them, how could they not respect them?
After hearing what Liu Baozhu and the others said, the clan elder looked at Liu Baozhu and their wives. He finally understood why the captain did not write the clause about filial piety in the document.
Because it makes no difference whether they write it or not, the captain's son and daughter-in-law have them in their hearts, and they will not suffer any loss in the future.
As expected, the captain is his most promising nephew, otherwise he would not have become the captain based on his own abilities.
"Since you have all discussed it and have no objection to the distribution in the document, I will sign it as a witness."
