Chapter 233 Conversation

Jiang Cuihua waved her hands: "Don't worry about it, I'll discuss it with your father."

The family was already poor, and now it is a famine.

If I were to divide the property among my three sons...I simply don't have the conditions to do so.

In fact, even if the conditions were met, Jiang Cuihua didn't want to divide the family like this.

Liu Yinyin knew what she was thinking: "Okay, you can discuss it with Dad. If there is anything you need help with, just ask."

The farce was over, and Liu Yinyin took Gu Yanyan home.

I wasn’t in the mood to cook, so I just cooked two bowls of dumplings for lunch.

After dinner, Gu Yanyan would take a nap every day, and Liu Yinyin wanted to sleep with him.

Huang Xiaoyue suddenly came to see her, and so did Huang Laizi. The two of them came to deliver sweet potatoes to Liu Yinyin.

In the past two years, without a private plot of land, Liu Yinyin's family did not grow many sweet potatoes, just enough to eat fresh.

A few days ago, Liu Yinyin mentioned to Huang Xiaoyue that she wanted to dry some dried sweet potatoes as a snack.

Huang Xiaoyue took this matter to heart. Her family had nothing else but sweet potatoes.

It is unlikely that one person can finish eating all the yellow scabies.

As it happens, Liu Yinyin's family still has some wild boar meat...

After the two parties discussed it, they decided to make another deal.

Liu Yinyin used ten kilograms of wild boar meat to exchange for fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes from Huang Laizi.

There are still some fresh sweet potatoes at home, which are almost enough for making dried sweet potatoes.

This afternoon, Huang Laizi brought the sweet potatoes over by himself.

Fortunately, the farce that occurred in the morning is over.

Otherwise... old Liu Lai Fu would not be able to face this relative-in-law.

Originally, I wanted to keep Huang Laizi at home for lunch, but Huang Laizi was afraid of bothering others, so he came over after having lunch.

He sat at Liu's house for a while, and then followed Huang Xiaoyue to Liu Yinyin's house to deliver sweet potatoes.

Liu Yinyin said hurriedly: "Come in and sit down..."

Huang Laizi waved his hand and said, "I won't go in. I have things to do at home."

Huang Xiaoyue said more directly: "It's okay, Yinyin, my father has just had a drink at home, there is no need to entertain him."

Liu Yinyin smiled awkwardly and said, "...Okay, uncle, wait a moment, I'll go pack some wild boar for you."

Liu Yinyin poured the sweet potatoes from the basket among the sundries.

Huang Laizi is also a down-to-earth person. The sweet potatoes he gave him were obviously specially picked out. Not only were there no rotten or bad ones, but they were also very big in size.

Liu Yinyin packed five pieces of frozen wild boar meat. For convenience, when dividing the meat, she cut each piece of meat into two kilograms, no more, no less.

In addition, Liu Yinyin packed a piece of venison for Huang Laizi.

Liu Yinyin kept a few pieces of venison from the wild deer that Gu Cheng had hunted before, thinking that she could exchange it for other things when needed, or even do a favor.

Huang Laizi thanked him and said, "The vegetables you requested will be ready for harvest in half a month."

"Okay." Liu Yinyin nodded and said, "Then I... my third brother and I will go and pick the vegetables ourselves."

She originally wanted to say that she would go with Huang Xiaoyue, but Huang Xiaoyue was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to go back to Shuangxi Village, so she changed her mind when the words were on her lips.

Huang Laizi quickly refused: "No, I'll bring it to you when the time comes."

Anyway, Maodong has nothing to do, so he has plenty of time.

Besides...

Huang Laizi paused and added, "That's great. I can come over to see Xiaoyue."

His daughter's belly was getting bigger, and he was always thinking about her at home.

After taking the wild boar meat, Huang Laizi left first.

Huang Xiaoyue didn't leave...

Thinking that she might have something to say, Liu Yinyin asked her to come in and sit down.

Huang Xiaoyue hesitated for a while, and then said, "Yinyin, from what I heard from my parents... they want to separate my eldest brother and his wife?"

Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned: "Did your parents tell you? I'm not sure, my mother said she would discuss it with my father first."

Huang Xiaoyue nodded: "During lunch, my parents mentioned this matter and asked my second brother and Mingyuan for their opinions."

What the old couple Liu Laifu meant was that they only wanted to separate eldest brother Liu's room, and the other two rooms would remain the same as before.

Liu Erge and Liu Mingyuan naturally had no objection. It was an old custom in the village not to divide the family while the parents were still alive.

The two brothers were filial and naturally would not go against the old couple's wishes. Without thinking, they agreed.

In their eyes, supporting parents and being filial to them is a natural duty.

only......

As daughters-in-law, Huang Xiaoyue and Liu Ersao definitely have different considerations from their husbands.

Liu Yinyin immediately understood Huang Xiaoyue's intention and asked her directly: "Third sister-in-law... do you also want to split the family?"

Huang Xiaoyue said shyly: "Yinyin, it's not that I don't want to honor my parents."

To honor your parents... you don't have to live together, right?

Huang Xiaoyue did want to separate the family. She explained, "You know, it's inconvenient for a family to live together. Sometimes, when I want to bring something back from my parents' home, I have to be nervous, for fear that others will find out."

If the family were divided, Huang Xiaoyue wouldn't have so many concerns, and her life would definitely not be worse than it is now.

Moreover, it's not just her and Liu Mingyuan who are living better than before.

Huang Xiaoyue added: "If life at home gets better, I will definitely be filial to my parents."

Liu Yinyin could understand her very well, and she actually agreed with the Liu family's separation.

After the family is divided, how the family will live in the future will depend on their own abilities.

Instead of being like it is now, where a whole family lives together and is restricted in what they can do and has to consider each other.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu Laifu don't have to worry about so many things.

As for whether the sons are filial or not, just discuss the issue of retirement with them in advance.

How many sons should I have and how much food and money should I give them each year?

In this way, wouldn't the old couple's life be better than it is now?

Don't worry about anything, just enjoy your life.

It's just that Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, I know what you mean, but my parents may have different ideas from us. The matter of dividing the family still depends on their opinions."

Liu Yinyin had tried to persuade Jiang Cuihua, but she was obviously unwilling.

In this case, we can't force them to split up, right?

Liu Yinyin understood Huang Xiaoyue’s thoughts, or rather, they were the same type of people and could empathize with each other.

However, the old lady’s ideas are different from theirs, and Liu Yinyin also respects Jiang Cuihua’s decision.

Huang Xiaoyue was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she also knew that splitting up the family could not be forced.

After thinking for a while, she said to Liu Yinyin, "Yinyin, can you please not tell Mingyuan what I told you today?"

Liu Mingyuan is very filial to his parents, and Huang Xiaoyue has no bad intentions, but she is afraid that Liu Mingyuan will be unhappy if he knows.
