"Big brother, second brother, third brother, what do you think?"
Mother Tang looked at her three sons and asked.
Tang Ming turned around, glanced at Tang Zhe and Tang Wen, and then spoke:
"I also think that it's a little early to split up now.
If the villagers knew about this, they would definitely poke us in the back and think we were so unfilial!
"Brother is right, Dad and Mom!" Tang Zhe immediately responded.
Old Man Tang took a puff of his pipe and said nothing.
Tang's mother glanced at the two of them:
"Don't bring up the villagers! If you're truly filial, just give your father and me a little more money and food every year. That would be more meaningful than anything else."
When Li Jinhua heard that she had to pay money and food, she immediately quit!
"Aren't you and Dad going to the Great Kyoto to live a good life with the Fourth Brother and his wife? Why are you still asking us to pay for money and food? You two elders can't be so partial, can you?"
“Yes, Dad and Mom, our second branch would like to give you and Dad more, but we have to have some too!
Look at Tang Zhe's body, he's sick every other day, it's good enough that he can support these two children!"
Zhao Lai Di said with a bitter face.
"So you just don't want to pay for your father and me's retirement money?"
Tang's mother hit the nail on the head! She already knew all about these three daughters-in-law!
"How can that be! Dad and Mom, our three rooms will listen to you." Tang Wen said.
"It's easy to talk without any pain in the back! You three families only have one son, so of course there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Li Jinhua rolled her eyes at the third brother and muttered.
"you......"
"That's enough!" Old Man Tang saw Tang Wen's angry face, knocked on his pipe and said in a deep voice,
"When a tree grows big, it branches out; when a son grows up, he separates from his family! Sooner or later, everything will be divided.
Your mother and I don't ask for much. From now on, each of your families will contribute five dollars for retirement and 20 kilograms of fine grain every month.
The division of the family is settled."
"Five dollars? Dad, isn't that too much?" Li Jinhua cried. "We have three children in school, where would we have extra money?"
"That's right, Dad, drink less." Zhao Laidie also agreed.
Old Man Tang glared and said:
"I've raised you all this time, but I never saw any of you eating less during meals!
Now it's your turn to take care of me and your mother in our old age, so why do you all think we eat too much?"
Everyone in the room was silenced instantly!
After the division of the family was finalized, Tang's mother took out all of Grandpa Zhong's money.
“This is all the family savings, a total of 960 yuan.
Your father and I will keep 160 yuan, and the remaining 800 yuan will be given to the four of you, 200 yuan each."
Li Jinhua had never thought that Offcn had so much money. Thinking that she could immediately get 200 yuan after the division, her expression instantly improved:
"We all listen to our mother!"
Nowadays, when many families in the village divide up their property, they are lucky enough not to have a pile of bad debts to share!
Seeing that there was money to be shared, the second and third sons' families also smiled and expressed their agreement.
"The fourth son is away from home all year round, so the family land should be divided equally among the three of you.
When we built the house at the beginning of the year, we built it based on the number of people you brothers have. Now each family has its own house! You can just start a new house.
But there is one thing I want to say first!
As for the fourth brother's house, as well as your father's and mine, none of you can lay your eyes on it!
No matter how far I go, this is my root!"
As Tang's mother spoke, she glanced around the room, her eyes full of reluctance.
The three brothers of the Tang family nodded in agreement, and the division of the family was finalized!
According to the rules of the village, Old Man Tang asked the village chief to write a document for dividing the family. From then on, the Tang family was divided into five.
Although Tang's mother and old man Tang decided to live with their eldest son, the New Year was approaching, so they thought about celebrating the New Year at home before going to Kyoto.
So, they sent a telegram to Lan Guoer, telling her their decision.
Lan Guoer didn't expect that her parents-in-law could solve such a big issue as the division of the family business so easily!
She felt a little more admiration for her in-laws.
In this era, she is undoubtedly very lucky to have met such open-minded and free-spirited parents-in-law as the Tang family.
The Chinese New Year is just half a month away.
That day, Old Sun brought the repaired furniture to her.
"This furniture looks so grand! My Guo'er has really good taste!"
Old Madam Lan sat on the newly delivered armchair and touched the armrests on both sides.
"Grandma, this one made of golden nanmu wood should be placed in your room!" Lan Guoer pointed to another one and said, "I prefer the red sandalwood one; it's bright red."
Old Lady Lan smiled and said:
"Just make your own arrangements. Grandma will be happy as long as she lives with you! The furniture doesn't matter."
At this time, Mr. Wu walked in from outside and happened to hear what Old Man Lan said.
He laughed and said, "Godmother, you must be so happy! Since you and Qinghe left, I, Old Wu, can't even have a hot meal!"
Madam Lan glanced at him and said in feigned anger, "I told you to get married earlier, but you just wouldn't listen! Now you know how hard it is to live alone, right?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong!" When Master Wu heard what the old lady said, he immediately raised his hands in surrender! He muttered, "You are really a man who brings up things that are not related to the topic."
Lan Guoer glanced at Master Wu, curious:
Her fifth uncle and third uncle are really strange. They are both old, why haven't any of them gotten married?
She wanted to ask, but she felt that it was inappropriate for a junior like her to ask about the private affairs of her elders.
Thinking I'd find time to ask my grandmother privately, I changed the question:
