"As for the house, it was allocated to your father by the factory. Now that your father is gone, it belongs to me. If you want to continue living here, you have to pay rent, which is the same as renting a house in the front yard. It's four yuan a month, and I'll give you a friendly price."
Yang Pingping immediately objected upon hearing this.
"Mom, what are you saying? How can you divide the family property without dividing the house? Jiang Nian is the eldest in our family, so we should all get the lion's share of the house."
"There's no right or wrong involved. If you don't want to rent, I won't force you," Granny Chen said indifferently.
"Finally, there's retirement. Each of you will receive three yuan a month, thirty-six yuan a year. You two will split the cost of medical expenses," Granny Chen said to herself.
His gaze was fixed on his two sons.
Jiang Sheng wasn't unhappy at all: "Mom, I have no objection. Keep the house for my eldest brother. I won't rent it out. I'm getting married to Sister Xiaolian in a few days, and I'll move in with her then."
By then, he'll have money, a wonderful wife like Sister Xiaolian, and two big, healthy sons. His life will be incredibly happy!
Granny Shen didn't react, and then looked at the eldest son.
Jiang Nian was naturally unwilling. His family of four only needed to pay ten yuan a month for food, and they could eat comfortably without having to worry about anything.
He and his wife saved all their remaining wages to plan for the future.
Once the family separates, you'll have to take care of everything yourself, including paying for accommodation and retirement expenses—which can be a huge burden.
"Mom, as long as our parents are alive, we won't separate from the family. How could your son bear to leave you!"
“Even if we separate, you will still care about me and be filial to me. I am informing you now, not discussing it with you.”
After saying that, Granny Shen told Jiang Hua to take out all the money, divide it into three parts, one for each family, and then said, "That's enough, I'm tired."
He closed his eyes, adopting a gesture of seeing the guest off.
After this ordeal, she completely lost all affection for her two sons. She was no longer young, and from now on, she would dedicate herself entirely to her daughter.
The reason why Widow Liu was able to control her and make her suffer in silence was because her eldest son also stole...
For the sake of her two sons, she had no choice but to admit that she had made it up. Thinking of the humiliation she felt at the time, Granny Chen's heart hardened like iron.
Looking at his elderly mother's expression, Jiang Nian wanted to say something, but thinking about what he had done, he felt uneasy and could only reluctantly agree.
The Shen family divided their property without a sound. Jiang Nian was hesitant to cause trouble, while Jiang Sheng was just grinning foolishly. So, the Shen family quietly settled the matter.
