"Third brother, you are going to piss off your mother to death--" The old lady stretched out her arm and was about to slap Han Qingsong.

Han Qingsong quickly held her arm and said, "Mom, don't be angry, and take care of your waist." He helped the old lady sit back on the kang.

The old Korean told the old woman to stop making a fool of herself and to sit down and talk business.

She used to talk about her third daughter-in-law all the time, but now that she is better, she wants to do something wonderful.

Although Old Han had heard about this from his eldest son before, he did not expect that his third son would actually take the initiative to invite officials to preside over the division of the family property. Based on his understanding of his sons, they would do whatever their parents said.

For example, when it came to dividing the family property, Old Han felt that he could not mistreat his third son, so even if the old lady searched hard, he had to fight for food and money for his third son.

But I didn't expect that the third son would go directly to the old branch secretary. Alas, when a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his parents.

Thinking about my son retiring and returning home to live with his wife and children, it is natural and right for me to consider them.

Isn't it the same for me?

After figuring it out, Old Han was only slightly disappointed, then he accepted the fact that his third son had changed.

Then think about it, my third daughter-in-law is not trying to commit suicide now, she seems to be living a good life, can talk to people nicely, and feels that there is hope in life.

"It's good this way. Even if we split up, we're still one family. Brothers, don't be estranged. We should support each other."

Han Qingsong nodded, "Of course, don't worry, Dad."

Second brother Han had long ago told everyone in the family about how Lin Lan was not living a good life and how she exaggeratedly cooked scrambled eggs with leeks and added so much oil to the first meal after the separation. Old Han felt that his daughter-in-law was not living a good life, but the old lady felt that this was a demonstration against her!

I hate it even more.

Now her son didn't listen to her. Old Mrs. Han felt as if the Japanese invaded right after the Red Army left. It was pitch dark and gloomy.

"Huh, rest assured? How can we rest assured with a girl like that? The whole family will be restless if she is disturbed."

"Mom, we have already separated, so we won't do that anymore," said Han Qingsong.

Old Mrs. Han was getting more and more angry, and Han's second sister-in-law quickly said, "Mother, even if the household registration is divided, it will not delay the return of work points and food to the family. Even if the whole family is divided, the sons will hand in the work points. Ours are all in the public."

Han Qingsong: "We can ask the old branch secretary to help set some rules."

"What rules are you setting? I'm talking about rules. Why do we need to find officials to divide the family? Isn't that embarrassing enough?" Mrs. Han shouted angrily. She said that the family division does not include the household registration, and he had already found officials. She said that the work points and food should be handed over to the family, and he asked officials to set rules again.

This is clearly an attempt to set rules for her and to hold a grudge against her.

The old lady was almost furious.

Han Qingsong said, "Dad, the old branch secretary wants to talk to you. I'll go back and clean up first. The courtyard wall is not ready yet."

He always took time to tidy up the vacant space around the courtyard. Even though the courtyard wall had been built, he still had to use that thing to block it. He would buy tiles to cover it later, otherwise it would be easily damaged.

As soon as Han Qingsong left, Mrs. Han started to cry about her son's unfilial behavior. Old Han was a little impatient, "Okay, my son got married and had a bunch of kids. It's time to separate the family. It's not easy to live together and it's not nice."

"Then the issue of old-age care must be discussed. Even if there is no subsidy, work points must be paid home in the future." The old lady said righteously.

But the old Korean leader didn't agree with her, "Let's talk about it. A couple with five children, it's good enough to be able to support the whole family."

If there weren't as many subsidies as before, it would be difficult for the third brother's family to raise children, not to mention that his daughter-in-law wants all the children to go to school.

It's hard enough for a family to send one child to school, let alone five.

The old Korean leader disagreed, but he didn't want to cause trouble. He would wait until they couldn't afford to eat before they knew how powerful he was.

Besides, whether a child is good at studying can only be known after he goes to school.

The old lady disagreed, "Jin Bao and Jin Yu are still in school, they need money..."

The old Korean said: "They can find jobs after graduation. It doesn't cost much..."

"How can I spend so little money? I have to pay for tuition, books, food, clothes, and find a job through connections..."

Before the old lady could finish, the old Korean said, "The children in this family don't even have enough to eat, and they are all like beggars. Why do you dress Ni'er up so beautifully? That's a matter of style!"

Otherwise, would the third brother have a change of attitude? He must have some complaints in his heart when he looked at the third brother.

He got off the kang and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to the secretary and see how we divide it tomorrow."

He had to estimate how much food, firewood, household items and money the family had, and talk to the branch secretary about it first so that he would have an idea tomorrow.

Old Han led the eldest brother away, but the old lady refused to give up and said to the second brother, "No, there are four of you brothers, how can you just divide the family property? Go, call Jinbao back, he also has a share in the family property. Also, call your eldest sister back and let her judge for justice!"

The second child looked outside and said in embarrassment, "Mom, we have to wait till tomorrow to call you. It's dark outside now."

Old Lady Han snorted, "One or the other is useless, and they still have to take my gold and jade."

Her two youngest children, the son named Jinbao, whose full name is Han Qinghua, and the daughter named Jinyu, are her treasures.

Hearing her nagging again, the second son and his wife quickly hid away to avoid being caught and scolded by the old lady.

When there was no one in the room, the old lady jumped up, quickly closed the door, took out the copper key from her waist, opened the wardrobe in front of the kang, and took out a wooden box.

She wrapped the small bills and receipts she had saved in handkerchiefs and locked them in a box on the shelf at the head of the kang, and hid the big money in there.

She thought about it, took out most of the money and hid it in a pair of her bound shoes, tied them up with leg straps and hid them in the quilt, and then locked the box and cabinet separately.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

The next morning, the old lady asked the second brother Han to borrow a bicycle and first went to Linhe Village six miles away to deliver a letter to the eldest daughter Han Damaner, and then went to the city to deliver letters to Han Jinbao and Han Jinyu.

Han Damaner is the eldest daughter of the old lady, two years younger than Han Dage. She is not favored in her natal family and has to work like a slave. However, she does not feel that she is working hard. Instead, she especially likes to take charge of things.

I especially like to follow the old lady and wave flags and shout behind her.

She was more low-key in the first two years when she didn't have a son, but after she had two sons, she straightened her back and dared to confront men. She was not as fearful of her mother-in-law as before.

Later on, he looked up to himself more and more, and liked to be the boss everywhere, especially to go back to his mother's house to handle matters between brothers.

She was involved in many conflicts between Lin Lan and her mother-in-law.

Every time Han Qingsong came back, she would act like an older sister and scold her younger brother, using all the confusing filial piety words she had learned from listening to others in her life to suppress Han Qingsong and Lin Lan.

When Han Qingsong was not at home, she would go home and argue with Lin Lan every once in a while, asking her to be a good wife, observe the rules, be filial to her mother-in-law, respect her elder sister-in-law, etc.

Anyway, she could find a way to balance the grievances she had suffered as a daughter-in-law and a lady.

Lin Lan didn't want to see her at all, and wished she wouldn't see her again for the rest of her life!

Because they have separated, the work is hers, so Lin Lan is extra energetic when she goes to work in the morning.

So we can’t eat from a big pot together or from a big pot with our family. We have to live as a small family.

When Han Qingsong got home from work at noon, he took the household registration book, grain and oil book, etc. and gave them to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan quickly opened it to take a look. In addition to the column for food distribution, the ration book also contained a column for supplementary food. If kerosene, cooking oil, vermicelli, firewood, etc. were distributed in the future, they would all be counted here.

Holding this book, Lin Lan's heart was so happy that it seemed like it was about to fly. The person in charge of the book would be the one in charge, and would be eligible to collect supplies in the future.

How many daughters-in-law who have not yet divided their family property are jealous!

She was so excited that her heart was already dancing a free and liberated dance. She turned around twice on the spot but was not satisfied, so she jumped up and gave Han Qingsong a kiss on the face.

When her soft lips were pricked by the hard stubble, she shuddered. Emma, ​​I'm having a seizure!

I twisted my ankle and nearly fell.

Han Qingsong supported her in time, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became much deeper.

Lin Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, it was just a momentary excitement, don't think too much about it."

In order to cover up her gaffe, she quickly ran to the yard, picked up Xiaowang, who was singing to the little ducks and hoping they would grow up quickly, and gave him a kiss.

Han Qingsong: …

Can't you think more about your own wife?

"Mom, what is that?" Xiaowang was very curious about the household registration book in her hand.

"Household registration book, food and oil book, mother will be the head of the family from now on." She touched Xiaowang's head, "Mother will make sure you go to school, have enough food and warm clothes, and eat delicious food!"

The little duck quacked.

Xiaowang: "This is my mother, what do you call her? Your mother is an egg...oh, egg skin!" He pointed to two egg shells thrown at the foot of the wall.

Lin Lan: ...

At lunchtime, Erwang took the initiative to run back to help Lin Lan, holding two palm-sized carps in his hands, "Mom, Sanwang picked up a broken net from the brigade and is catching fish in the Beihegou."

This guy is amazing. So many people can't catch fish, but he can. I guess he has acquired this skill from soaking in the water all day.

At the smell of fish, the two little ducks immediately came over with their tails wagging.

Xiaowang quickly took them back to the fence one by one, "Eat some vegetables, they are very sweet."

Lin Lan was very happy to see him happy all day long and not autistic. It seemed that Xiao Wang was not unable to speak before, but he just had things in his mind that he didn't say. Now that he could speak, it was normal.

She wanted to kill the fish, but she had some mental problems and almost cut her hand.

When Han Qingsong saw this, he took the fish from her hands, deftly scraped off the scales, gutted the fish, cleaned it, and then threw it into the basin.

The fish is still struggling!

Lin Lan: It seems that cooking is not that easy.

Han Qingsong looked at Erwang, "Come here!"

Erwang saw his father's serious face and felt a little scared, but after all, he had never been beaten before, so he walked over bravely, "Dad."

Han Qingsong handed him the knife and said, "I'll teach you how to kill fish."

Erwang hesitated for a moment, "How about letting Sanwang..."

"The first step is to hold the fish gills with your left hand and hold the knife with your right hand..."

Erwang obeyed the order subconsciously.

"The second step..."

Although it was not smooth with one person directing and one person doing it, it had a beginning and an end, and the fish was not broken apart.

Even if it was thrown into a basin, it would still twitch.

Lin Lan: Chef Erwang, I’m counting on you from now on!

"You're really good, boy!" Lin Lan went over and kissed him on the head. "Now we can have fish to eat. Let's make fish soup today!"

Don’t worry if you don’t have tofu. There are some ripening soybeans in my private plot. You can go get a bowl of them, then break them up with something else and put them back in to stew. It will still taste good.

Lin Lan waited for the pot to heat up, poured a little oil into it, and then put the fish in to fry. This way the fish soup would be delicious.

It was served with soybean fish soup and cornmeal pancakes stuffed with eggplant.

After the pot is opened, simmer it on low heat for a while and then let it steam. This will save firewood.

Twenty minutes later, when the pot was opened, the aroma spread out directly and could be smelled on the street.

Especially those who were chatting in the brigade yard after work asked one after another: "What smells so good? Who is frying fish? Their life is too exquisite."

Everyone sniffed, and those with a keen nose shouted, "Over there!"

What about the woman’s family?

Impossible!

"The family has been divided, and now it is not divided. I tell you, not dividing the family will kill people, but dividing the family will immediately cure the disease."

"Hahaha."

At this time, Han Damaner helped the old lady walk to the back of the house, looking like a female cadre going to the countryside.

She wanted to give Lin Lan a scolding when she got the news a few days ago that she had taken medicine, but unfortunately, the family was in a mess and she didn't have time.

Later, when her brother came back, she wanted to come again, but her mother-in-law quarreled with her again.

After finally sorting out all the trivial matters at home, she finally found some time. Just then, her second brother came to deliver a letter to her, so she immediately dropped her work at home and ran over.

As soon as she got home, she accompanied the old lady to scold her. After listening to the old lady scolding Lin Lan and the third brother for two hours, the mother and daughter planned to go to the third brother's house at noon to see what to eat.

"Even if we divide the family, he is still my son and he has to support me when I grow old. From now on, I will eat two days at home and two days there."

Han Damaner supported her and went straight to Lin Lan's house, but she didn't expect to hear these words.

The old lady was so angry that she stamped her feet. "You see, your third brother has turned his elbow outward and no longer treats his mother as his own mother. He is on the same side with that shrew. He is already asking for delicious food as soon as the family is divided. I have never seen him so concerned before."

He was hiding at home and frying fish, but he didn't even give it to her. How unfilial of him!

Han Damaner said: "Mom, my three brothers are becoming more and more unkind, and the third brother has a trick. He drinks pesticides and becomes more agile."

"You don't know, these days..." The old lady kept talking on and on.

Han Daman'er was not liked by her mother before. Only after she got married, her mother always complained to her about the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. She felt that her position had become important, and then she began to make plans.

"No, I have to talk to my brother. This is not right. Don't worry, mother. I will make my brother give you his work points for your old age. I can't let his wife ruin her family!"

In the small courtyard, Lin Lan was struggling over whether to send a bowl of fish soup to the big house.

Ask her to say that she doesn't want to give away even a thorn, but... it's really not good to eat the good things when the family is divided and ignore the old ones.

We can't let Han Qingsong have any opinions, but we have to set a good example for the children, right?

Han Qingsong killed the fish and went out. She waited for a while but he didn't come back. She had no choice but to take a bowl and put a fish in it, and a bowl of soup. She said with great distress: "Erwang, take it to your grandma...grandfather."

Erwang smiled and said, "Mom, if you don't want to give it to me, don't send it. It's just this much anyway, and it's not enough for us to eat."

Lin Lan covered her face with her hands, and the old lady possessed her: "Son, you must remember, when you grow up and have a wife, even if you are reluctant, don't forget to share your food with your parents."

Xiao Wang hugged Lin Lan's thighs and shouted, "I don't want a wife, I want my mother! I want to be with my mother!"

The child's childish talk made the two of them laugh.

Lin Lan made up her mind and said, "Go and deliver it quickly."

Otherwise I would change my mind in a moment and say, "Call Sanwang and the others to come back for dinner."

Mai Sui also went fishing with San Wang, and he hasn't come back yet.

The fish soup was very hot, so Erwang used a broken lid to hold the bowl of soup. As he walked out of the house, he saw his grandmother and eldest aunt rushing in from outside with great momentum.

"The third brother's family!"

Han Damaner has a very loud voice and it is obvious that she is not a friendly person.

There is a situation!

Erwang immediately turned around and went back to the house and put the fish soup back on the table.

Lin Lan stood at the door and blocked the two people who rushed in, preventing them from entering the house. "Hey, is this old lady leading female bandits to sweep the countryside?"

"How can you talk like that, you unfilial daughter-in-law?" Han Damaner supported the old lady with one hand and pointed at Lin Lan with the other, her eyes widened and her eyebrows raised, like an angry King Kong.

Lin Lan chuckled, "You shouldn't say that my aunt is a female bandit. This is the angry King Kong. Hello, female King Kong." She also bowed.

Han Damaner and the old lady had come here with great energy, but as soon as they entered the room, they were thrown off balance by Lin Lan and immediately couldn't keep up with the pace.

Old Lady Han: "Old Third, don't be so domineering. You're just trying to instigate your husband to be unfilial and not take care of you when you're old, right after we split up the family."

Lin Lan looked aggrieved, "Old lady, please stop talking nonsense. You want to take care of me in my old age? Okay! How about we completely separate the family today? Anyway, my uncle and the second uncle have long wanted to separate and live on their own. After the separation, you can live in one of your sons' houses for a month, and you only need to take care of food and accommodation, and you don't have to worry about anything else. How about that?"

"You, you!" Old Mrs. Han pounded her chest and started coughing.

Lin Lan quickly brought water to the old lady, "Hurry, drink some water to calm down."

"Get out of here!" Old Mrs. Han was so angry that she pushed the bowl away fiercely. The coarse porcelain bowl hit the stone beside her and broke into pieces.

Xiao Wang, who was standing next to him, immediately recalled the dark scenes in his memory. His body convulsed and he cried out loudly, "Ahhhh—bad woman, bad woman!"

Lin Lan didn't expect Xiao Wang to react so strongly, so she quickly picked him up and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Wang, I will protect you. With me here, no one can bully me, Xiao Wang."

While coaxing her, I also sang Xiaowang's favorite nursery rhymes.

Xiaowang slowly calmed down.

Han Damaner couldn't stand Lin Lan's acting like this, so she sarcastically said, "I'm telling you, Third Brother, stop pretending. How can you treat your mother-in-law like this?"

Lin Lan handed Xiao Wang to Er Wang, glared at Han Da Man'er, and said coldly: "What's wrong with me? Are you filial to your mother-in-law like your own mother? Do you serve your mother-in-law sincerely every day? You haven't even wiped your own butt clean, and you still want to smell whether others stink. Is your marriage failed and your life is unhappy, and you have no taste in life, so you have to find a sense of existence in me all day long? Wait until your mother-in-law stops complaining about you and scolding you for being a bad daughter-in-law before you speak."

…

Aunt Han's face turned pale and blue, "Mother, mother, you, you, you, look at her."

Old Mrs. Han: "I've seen enough of her! You still want me to see her!" The old lady didn't even bother to see what Lin Lan was eating. She turned around and left angrily, never wanting to visit again.

Aunt Han: "Mom, this old man must have been possessed by a ghost. He seems to have become a different person."

Lin Lan said to their backs, "You're right, I really need a new person. Prince Yan, please give me a new heart, a new mouth, and a new pair of eyes. I'll use my sharp eyes to see through the bad guys! If you come here again to stir up trouble, I'll beat you with a big broom without mercy!"

Old lady Han stumbled and almost fell.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Han Qingsong walking towards the house with big strides, "Third brother——"

After killing the fish, Han Qingsong went to the river to see Sanwang and the others catching fish, and then went to the nearby area to pick up stones to pave the path in the yard. He didn't know that as soon as he arrived at the site, he heard Xiaowang screaming, and the gossipers shouted that the fight had started again, so he dropped the stones and ran home.

"Mom, elder sister?" Han Qingsong's face was gloomy.

Old Mrs. Han saw the dissatisfaction in his eyes, and her heart suddenly turned cold, and she felt even more unhappy.

"Third brother, your wife is a bad person. Your eldest sister and I went to see how you are doing after the division of the family property, and she brought a bowl of boiling water and wanted to scald me to death—"

Han Damaner also agreed: "That's right, you even called your elder sister a female bandit and a female demon, and you disliked my mother and I going to your house, and you chased us away and didn't allow us to go."

At this time, Erwang shouted through the fence: "Bad woman, there is no such aunt as you. You come back and bully my mother. Xiaowang is so scared that he is stupid."

When Erwang shouted like this, Xiaowang screamed twice in cooperation.

Han Qingsong's face changed, and he went straight home without even looking at Aunt Han.

Old Lady Han: "...You unfilial son!"

As soon as Han Qingsong entered the house, before he could even ask, Lin Lan shouted, "Originally, I thought that the household registration would be divided and that would be fine. We would just take a little loss, even if we had to leave the house with nothing, and we would just have to borrow food and make straw quilts to sleep on. But now it seems that the more I tolerate, the more they will bully me. I won't be a good person. I will divide the family property the way it should be divided! Not a grain of food should be left out, and not a penny of money should be left out! Otherwise, don't expect me to support you in your old age! Also, we will only support the elderly, not my aunt and uncle. Whoever gave birth to the child should raise it!"

Don’t think that your children will be raised by other children when you are old. There is no obligation for that!

The key point is that the two of them are not young anymore and should have left the company long ago, but they couldn't find a good job and didn't want to go home to farm, so they had to stay in school.

Shameless!

"I am a shrew, I can do whatever I want!" After saying this, she glared at Han Qingsong hatefully.

The enraged Han Qingsong: …

Lin Lan's voice was quite loud and it was heard in the field office immediately. Many people were leaning over to listen to what was going on.

"Is he going to take medicine and hang himself again?" Some people were waiting to see how Lin Lan would commit suicide this time.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, I only heard Lin Lan's little mouth swearing. She swore even more than the most swearing woman in the village.

The key is that when those women curse people in a vulgar way, they will just curse at them, but Lin Lan doesn't even use any dirty words when she curses at people.

Wow, this woman is really amazing.

Lin Lan was really angry. Although she had never thought of leaving the house before, who wouldn't take advantage of the situation to show off?

She just pushed the matter onto them.

Sanwang and his friends were fishing by the river when Zhuzi came running over and shouted, "Fishing, fishing, fishing!"

Da Wang raised his head suddenly, "Who?"

Zhuzi: "Your mother beat your grandma and your eldest aunt, saying that she used boiling water to make them bald. Oh, that was terrible!"

Da Wang continued to fish with his head down, as if he didn't hear anything.

Sanwang: "Just talk nonsense, my mother will just scold them at most."

Mai Sui threw away the broken sieve, picked up the other three fish skewered with reeds and ran away.

Sanwang shouted, "Sister, sister, please stay! My brother and I want to roast them and eat them!"

"You are full after drinking water, why do you want to eat fish!" Mai Sui ran home, "Mom, mom, did my grandma and my eldest aunt team up to beat you?"

When she looked up, she saw her father's face was as gloomy as water, and her mother was pouting and angry. Mai Sui scratched her head and whispered, "...Are you okay?"

Lin Lan: "It's okay, but you still have to make a choice. Do you want to live with your father or with..."

"Wash your hands and eat!" Han Qingsong took the fish and threw it to Erwang to deal with.

Lin Lan glanced at him. Did she succeed in taking the opportunity to make a scene?

At this moment, Han Qingsong turned around and looked at her, and their eyes met.

Lin Lan immediately raised her slightly nervous and tentative eyes to the sky, and met with a roll of the eyes seamlessly.

Han Qingsong: …

"Don't keep saying that. It's not good for the children."

Lin Lan: “Eat.”

She looked outside and shouted at the river: "Dawang, Sanwang, it's time to eat!"

She found that she couldn't be too nice, after all, she had a reputation as a slut!

After clearing the table, the two children had not returned yet.

Lin Lan picked up the fire stick and was about to rush out.

Han Qingsong grabbed her arm and said, "Let's eat."

"No, these two kids are too unruly. This won't do."

"I'll go." Han Qingsong went out to find the child.

Not long after, the two sons followed him home with their heads down.

Lin Lan was happy. Stop being such a little brat. Someone will take care of you!

"Eat, then go to work in the afternoon. After work, go to your grandfather's house to share food. You all have to support your mother, no one can be left behind!"

She glared at Da Wang deliberately, trying to show her charisma.

Da Wang glanced at her quickly and responded in a muffled voice.

As soon as she got off work in the afternoon, Lin Lan went to Old Han's house.

Aunt Han, who came over to support herself, was scolded by Lin Lan and fled away in defeat.

Han Jinbao and Han Jinyu did not come back. According to Han's second brother, he only saw Jinbao and told his mother to let him come back to divide the family. He casually agreed and went riding a bicycle with his classmates. As for Jinyu, he did not see her at all.

So the two of them didn't come back, and he didn't know why.

Old Mrs. Han was so angry that she had a lot of plasters on her head. Because her little children didn't come back, she was as angry as a toad.

Han Yongfang had already come with the team's accountant, and there were also two young men from the family who were relatively well-known and came to help with the weighing.

Of course, this is also because of Han Qingsong. When other families split up, the old branch secretary would not get involved at all, and any elder from the same family would preside over it.

But the old lady felt that this was a favor on her part, and that people came because of her.

"Brother, there is not much food left at home. We couldn't hold on to the end and are waiting for the autumn food." The old lady didn't want to take out all the food.

Han Yongfang smiled and said, "That's easy to say."

The old branch secretary walked around Han's house with his hands behind his back and said, "There are only a few houses, and there is no way to divide them among the four sons. Qingsong is a sensible child. He took the initiative to give up the house, which saves the most money. Then we will give him some financial support. As for food, we will divide it according to the amount of food per person. In our village, adults eat 440 kilograms a year and children eat 360 kilograms. The amount per day can be calculated with an abacus. There is nothing else. You can handle the small things."

Old Mrs. Han covered her chest and said, "Brother, where is the money? She stole all the allowance for this quarter! The food is in the big jar. We have no food to eat. What else is there to share? Let's take a look."

House, food, money, that's all. If you don't have any of these, what's the point?

Han Qingsong couldn't bear to see his mother acting like that at her age, and just as he was about to say something, Lin Lan interrupted him and said, "That's better than us going out naked. You can go hungry for filial piety, but the five children are growing up, so they can't go hungry. Just weigh the food they should have."

After hearing her say this, Han Qingsong swallowed his words and decided to speak later when encountering problems in the future.

The old branch secretary nodded, "It's what you deserve."

The accountant there followed the instructions of the branch secretary. He used an abacus to calculate the quantity in the blink of an eye, counting both the coarse grain and the fine grain, and asked Brother Han and a cousin from the same family to weigh them together.

Seeing so much food being weighed out, Han Erge and Han Ersao became anxious. "Is there enough left for us to eat? If we count the food per person, do we have to weigh our own food first?"

The old Party secretary said, "Every household is short of food. Just hold on until the autumn harvest."

By then there will be sorghum, soybeans, corn, and mainly sweet potatoes.

The local public grains were mainly wheat and corn, while sorghum, soybeans, and sweet potatoes were basically distributed among the team members themselves. In addition, Han Yongfang was a domineering official, and he was always strict and orderly, so the management was in place, there were fewer people slacking off, less waste, and more grain could be distributed.

Generally speaking, the members of Shanzui Village can eat enough.

Han Yongfang is very confident about this.

When the old branch secretary spoke, Han Erge and his wife could only grumble; no one dared to act rudely in front of Han Yongfang.

After distributing the food, it’s time to distribute the money.

Old Mrs. Han felt a sharp pain, because that was all her money, her Jin Yu and Jin Bao’s money!

She couldn't accept not having Han Qingsong's allowance anymore, and now she had to take out her savings. It would be better to kill her.

"No money. There is not a penny at home now." Old Mrs. Han refused to give in.

Han Yongfang glanced at Old Han and said, "Brother, why don't you discuss it yourself?"

This money was all earned by Han Qingsong. Others may not know it, but Han Yongfang knows it very well.

At that time, everyone was working in the team, and money and food were exchanged for work points. Han Yongfang knew exactly how many work points each family had and how much money and food they had even with his eyes closed.

Almost all of Han Yongchang's (Old Han's) work points were exchanged for food, firewood, and non-staple food. The old lady relied on her son to send money home, so she didn't have to struggle like others to exchange food for some cash for emergencies.

And every time Han Qingsong sent money home, Han Yongfang knew it all.

Of course, he didn't know how much the old lady spent herself, but according to his estimation, there must be money at home.

Since the family business is divided, it must be fair. Otherwise, he will not take the lead. He must protect the old and care for the young, only then will the members obey him.

After all, Han Qingsong didn't want the house.

With so many people watching, Old Han couldn't afford to lose face. He glanced at the old lady and gritted his teeth, "I still have three hundred... or two hundred yuan in savings. Take it out..."

"What? Two hundred? Where did you get two hundred? Did you steal or rob? Every time my family waits for money to be sent back to cover expenses. If we don't get it this time, we can't even afford to eat. Forget three hundred, I don't even have thirty."

Now that Old Han has said it, he naturally cannot take it back and cannot afford to lose face.

Besides, he knew that the old lady had more than a thousand in savings, but he only said two hundred.

He also knew that the old woman had indeed been very frugal at home over the years. No one in the frugal family had a decent piece of clothing. The only people who spent money were on their youngest son and daughter, but as their money was limited, they could not spend too much.

The old lady was reluctant to deposit the money in the bank. Fearing that someone might miss it, she locked it in a small box deep in her coat closet, which was then locked.

"Take it out. Give 150 to the third son's family so they can buy some household items. Otherwise they won't be able to make a living." Although Old Han was partial to his youngest son and his youngest daughter, he still managed to get away with it on the surface. He couldn't let others point fingers at him.

This was also what his father taught him. As long as the son was his own, he would try his best to treat him equally and not let outsiders gossip about him.

The old lady almost threw herself in anger. She wanted to tear this stubborn and ignorant old man to pieces. When she raised so many sons, he always contributed extra money and effort but in the end he was never appreciated. Now when the family property was divided, he behaved like this again!

How come I couldn't make the decision then, and I still can't make the decision now?

She doesn't want to give a penny to the third brother's family, and she also wants the third brother's family to pay her money every year in the future!

He actually asked her to take 150 yuan. He must be crazy.

"Stop nagging. Just take it when I tell you to. What do women know? You have long hair but short knowledge! I'm doing this for your own good." The old Korean muttered something harsh.

"Ah - I, I, I have long hair but little knowledge, you have more knowledge, why don't you go out with the third brother!"

Sanwang said with a smile, "Grandma, if the family is divided, everyone will fight for my grandfather, don't let you be left alone."

Children have the brightest eyes. Grandma is annoying, so no one wants her.

"Ah - I don't want to live anymore!" Old Mrs. Han covered her face and rushed into the house, throwing herself on the kang and crying loudly.

Sanwang scratched his head, "Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Lan tugged at him and whispered, "What truth are you talking about?"

…

Old Han went into the house and asked the old lady to take the money. "Don't make a fool of yourself and let others laugh at you. Isn't that all the money earned by the third brother? You said you would save it and give it to him later. Now that he has come back, you don't give it to him. When will you give it to him?"

The old lady became even angrier. "How can you take that seriously? I was just talking!"

Once it's in her hands, it's hers.

Saying that I will save it and give it to you later is not true. If I have several children, I might give it to someone else. Even if I only have one child, I am afraid that my daughter-in-law will spend it, so I still keep it. After all, I will save it until my last breath, when I am about to leave this world, and then I will be willing to take it out.

Unexpectedly, the old man took it seriously. The old lady was so angry that she almost died and felt so embarrassed.

She had no choice but to open the closet and take out ten... twenty... Feeling the old Korean's gaze like a bayonet, she gritted her teeth and took out fifty and threw them on the ground, "No more!"

Old Han suppressed his grief and snatched out another fifty.

Mrs. Han was so heartbroken that she laid on the edge of the kang, holding her chest and crying loudly, "Damn it, there's not a penny left in the family—"
