Although Grandpa Qiao Jiuwang is the head of the family, he is a taciturn person who doesn't care about anything.
My uncle is single and a very strong man, and Qiao Youcai and his wife are also very capable.
Ten-year-old Qiao Jiangxin was famous for her diligence. When the family was still collectively owned, Lei Honghua forced her family not to divide the property. All the children's shares were put together, and the food was divided up in the end. She was in control of the money for the exchange.
Now that the land has been privately owned, Lei Honghua is even more reluctant to split up the family. Her old man is already 18 years old, and she no longer works in the fields at this age.
The eldest son, Qiao Jianhua, is 25 years old. He married the daughter of an old man from the neighboring brigade who is a bricklayer. They have been married for just two days. Now, his son is taking his pregnant wife to learn a craft from his father-in-law and working everywhere.
The eldest daughter, Qiao Fangfang, was 22 years old and had just left home half a century ago. The youngest son, Qiao Jianguo, was only 19 years old and was spoiled beyond measure by her, hanging out and strolling around all day long.
The family's land and property were basically taken care of by the brothers Qiao Youfu and Qiao Youcai. Moreover, if the family was to be divided up, the land, house, money and power would all be divided up. Her youngest son hadn't even gotten married yet, so how could she possibly let go of these two workhorses, Qiao Youcai and Qiao Youfu?
There are not many families like the Qiao family in the village, where a large family lives together and eats from the same pot.
In the previous life, Qiao Youfu was an old bachelor, Qiao Youcai and his wife had only one daughter, Qiao Jiangxin, and it was determined that Liu Afang would not be able to have a son. Qiao Youcai and his brothers also had several arguments about splitting up the family.
Every time, Lei Honghua kept saying, "Not dividing the family is for the good of you brothers. Look at you two brothers, you don't even have a son. When you get old, you won't even have a mother to raise. Wouldn't it be good for you brothers to live together and be more intimate?"
Mom is also planning for you. When Jianhua gets married, let his wife have two more sons, and then adopt one to Youfu. This way, Youfu will have something to look forward to in the future. So you brothers must work together..."
Qiao Youfu and Qiao Youcai were originally honest farmers. Although they were treated unfairly since childhood, the two brothers did not have a single dollar in their pockets and were fooled.
In addition, in the countryside, a man without a son cannot stand up straight, so with so many people coming, even if the two brothers were dissatisfied, they could not jump up and were controlled by Lei Honghua.
It was not until Qiao Youcai's youngest son Qiao Jiangmu was born that the two brothers felt more confident. However, Qiao Jiangmu was in poor health and Liu Afang had no milk, so Lei Honghua was still unwilling to pay a penny and even started to covet Qiao Jiangmu.
The Qiao Youcai brothers wanted to use Qiao Jiangxin as a marriage partner for their youngest son Qiao Jianguo, so they made a big fuss and were separated from the old Qiao family. They got nothing except two shabby houses and their own land.
Qiao Jiangxin collected his thoughts and rushed out of the house.
Lei Honghua was directing Liu Afang to pour the boiling hot rice porridge into an aluminum basin and bring it to the dining table in the yard to cool.
"Hey, Miss Jin Guiwei, are you willing to get up? The elders above are all busy in the fields, you can't see it~", Lei Honghua looked at Qiao Jiangxin with a slanted look, with a sarcastic tone.
Qiao Jiangxin said with a cold face, "Grandma is right, my third uncle, fourth uncle and my aunt are just heartless beasts, one of them acted like his parents had died and ran to my father-in-law's house to show his courtesy.
A child who looked like a motherless and uneducated kid was wandering around everywhere. The aunties in the village were all talking about it. If they found such a thing, they would throw it into the urine bucket and drown it on the spot.
