Chapter 51: Eat delicious food
Liu Sanjin looked around at her sons and daughters-in-law with a pale face. She was trembling slightly and felt a little weak. Her family had saved some money over the years. Even though her son Lu Zhenping gave her a monthly allowance, she still lived a tight life. The reason was that her family was having a hard time and often needed her to help.
"Jiahe, look at how many families have split up in the village. Your eldest brother has listened to that bastard's pillow talk and wants to break up our family. He is also threatening your mother with your brother's future. I feel so bitter. Why are you still so ignorant at this time?"
In the past, Lu Jiahe would soften his heart when he heard her say this, but today he didn't. He was very tough.
"Mom, if you don't want to divide the family, then don't do it. You are the mother-in-law, and Shen Meng dare not say anything to you. Even if she makes trouble, it will be her reputation that will be ruined. It's not bad for me to be a warehouse manager of the production team, right?"
Liu Sanjin's heart sank when he said that. She glanced at the gate silently. "Old man, when can you come back? I'm almost killed by these children. I have such a miserable life and no one listens to my cries."
"Okay, okay, give it all. Fourth brother, go call the elders of our Lu family, the village chief and the party secretary, as well as your eldest sister-in-law and Mingyang, and call them all over to divide the family. Divide it clearly. Divide it all. Second brother, mother will give it to you. If the eldest brother's wife wants a private plot, mother can't make the decision."
Lu Jiahe frowned, but did not refute his mother. In his heart, he was thinking about getting the private plot into his own hands.
Wu Xianglan was secretly happy. She didn't expect that she could get benefits from the division of the eldest branch. When she looked at Lu Jiahe, she winked at him, tilted her head and stretched her neck, stretched out her hands to hold her two children in front of her, and the arrogance on her face could not be stopped.
Xie Jinghao, who was leaning against the window in the other room, couldn't help but curl her lips. Why was her second brother so anxious to ask for money and things? It was because of the trouble outside. Otherwise, he could use the child's name to get benefits from her mother. She used to think that her second sister-in-law was smart, but she didn't expect that she was also blind.
When Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa came over, all the people in the Lu family had come, even Chen Zhaodi sat aside with her head down.
When Shen Meng brought a few children to the Lu family, they heard that they were going to divide the family. It was Lu Zhenping who sent a letter to the family, explaining the situation and asking Lu Mingyang, the eldest son, to help him deal with it.
Although he was only nine years old, Lu Mingyang, who was entrusted with an important task, sat upright in front of Shen Meng, with a serious face.
"Don't be afraid, mom is here, relax."
Not only him, but also the other three idiots standing behind the two of them also looked serious. If you didn't know, you would think they were here to fight.
Shen Meng sat steadily. Although she had never met Lu Zhenping, she didn't know why, but she felt like a man was supporting her.
"We invited everyone here today because the eldest son sent a letter saying that he wants to divide the main house. He is the eldest son and the first son of our family. As a mother, I have to listen to him. What do you think, eldest son's wife, do you want to divide it?"
Shen Meng waved her hand,
"Hey, mother, what are you talking about? I just found out that Zhenping wants to divide the family. I think he knows that me and the children are always bullied. But he also mentioned the matter of dividing the family. Let Mingyang make the decision. Our eldest son just said that we should follow the rules and divide it however we want. I, a woman, will not say much."
Liu Sanjin looked at her and kicked the conversation to himself. He pursed his lips and swallowed the anger in his heart.
"Then we'll follow the rules. Our family has saved some money over the years, and I scraped it out with my fingers. It's not much in total, just 325 yuan, which is our family fortune. My old man and I still have to take care of our parents, so we need 50 yuan. The rest will be divided among the families. The eldest family will get 68 yuan, and the other three families will not get divided. But in front of everyone, I'll take out a portion and give 5 yuan to each of the three families, and I'll keep the rest. They will give more when they divide the family property. Some grain has already been distributed last time, but considering that Zhenping is away, I, an old woman, will make the decision. I will give another 100 kilograms of corn. The eldest daughter-in-law will have
someone carry it back home. That's it." Shen Meng raised her eyebrows. This old woman is indeed a face-loving person. She wants everyone to see her goodness when she divides the family property. It has come to this point. If she asks for more, it will be a bit too much.
She coughed lightly, and Lu Mingyang beside her immediately spoke.
"Grandma, we'll divide it up as you say. You're the fairest. But, grandma, have you forgotten that we still have private plots? Our private plots haven't been divided up for us yet!" "What are
you talking about, you little bastard? You're not satisfied with all these things. Why are you so greedy? Your dad is a soldier outside, and your mom is lazy... Your mom doesn't do much farming, so why would you want a private plot? Give it to your second uncle. He'll grow crops and give you the food later, okay?"
"No, second uncle, that's ours. We still have to grow vegetables!" Lu Mingliang stuck his head out from behind Lu Mingyang and said this, then shrank back.
Lu Jiahe's face turned slightly cold, but Lu Mingyang wasn't afraid at all. He had been watching his face since he was a child, and he wasn't afraid if you scared him.
"Uncle, stop scolding the kid like a bastard. If you do that again, I'll get mad." Shen Meng scratched her fingernails and glared at Lu Jiahe.
With his mother's support, Lu Mingyang raised his chin slightly.
When Zhang Hongfa was sent, he was warned by his family, so he naturally sided with Lu Zhenping's family. Besides, he still had to divide the family. If the division was not clear, he would be embarrassed to ask him to do things when he came back.
"Aunt Liu, Jiahe, Jiaxuan, if the private plots are not divided, what kind of division is this? What do we farmers value most? Isn't it the farmland? Zhenping's family is special. The production team gave them five mu of private plots. Whether to grow vegetables or grain is up to their mothers. If the private plots are not divided, Zhenping will write to you later. What will we say then? Jiahe, go and tell your eldest brother, is it because you want it that you don't want to divide the private plots?"
Zhang Hongfa pointed out directly, causing Lu Jiahe's face to turn red.
After dividing the food, money, and private plots, Shen Meng returned home happily. Her fatigue instantly disappeared. She put a pot of shredded pork noodles in the stove and heated up braised pork and shredded potatoes.
Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang brought the hot noodles and two buns to Xie Jinghao's house before dark. The fragrance spread to the courtyard of the Lu family. Liu Sanjin was so angry that he didn't eat at night. He smelled the fragrance and his stomach growled with hunger. He thought Xie Jinghao would bring it to him. Unexpectedly,
the shameless thing took his son to eat behind closed doors. There
