Chapter 236 Retirement



Chapter 236 Retirement

When it comes to money, Jiang Cuihua is very firm and won't give in at all.

It was impossible for Mrs. Liu's parents to let their daughter get a divorce, so they finally agreed. Mrs. Liu's family would get 30 yuan.

However, Mrs. Liu also took the opportunity to make two requests.

One is that if Liu Yinyin sends something to Liu's father and mother in the future, they need to give a portion to the eldest wife.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Why are you still thinking about her?

Another request, Sister Liu hopes that if Brother Liu fails to fulfill his obligation to raise his children in the future, she hopes that the Liu family can help him.

The reason why Mrs. Liu did not divorce Mr. Liu was not only because she was afraid of being criticized when she returned to her parents' home, but there was another most important reason.

She just couldn't bear to leave her two children. In Mrs. Liu's eyes, her children were the most important, actually it was herself.

As for Brother Liu...Mrs. Liu cares more about whether he can support the family.

When it comes to feelings, she is not someone who knows how to talk about love.

Jiang Cuihua thought about the two requests made by Mrs. Liu for a long time and finally agreed.

It's not for anything else, after all, they are my grandchildren, so they should help me.

My family is poor, and we don't have anything else to share. We also have some minor problems...

For example, private plots.

This is easy to discuss, just divide it based on the number of people.

After almost everything was discussed.

Liu Laifu said, "Now that we have discussed the division of the family, isn't it time to talk about retirement?"

Mrs. Liu said angrily, "My dear relatives... We are all strong and can support ourselves by working in the fields. But they are young and have to raise children, which is not easy."

Mr. and Mrs. Liu are both under 50 years old now. It is too early to talk about retirement now.

Jiang Cuihua couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this and said, "They say raising a son is a way to support your parents in their old age, but are you raising them in vain? There is no rule in the village that sons should not support their parents in their old age."

Mrs. Liu won't provide them with a house to support them in their old age? Jiang Cuihua would definitely not agree to this, and there was no such saying anywhere.

Sister Liu's father coughed twice and explained, "Don't be angry, dear relatives... I don't mean that, it's just that parents in the village usually wait until they are too old to work before relying on their sons and daughters-in-law for support.

This is a fact. Liu Laifu thought, "I didn't ask them to support us in our old age, but now that we have separated, we can't just not show any appreciation on a daily basis."

"Here's what I think. Now, we two old people are still able to work, but every New Year, you should give us something to show your appreciation. It's up to you what you give, as long as the appreciation is there."

"In the future...when the two of us can no longer work, the eldest family will do the same as the second and third families. Each family will have to send us 150 kilograms of food per year, plus five yuan."

"If we two old ones get sick someday, you will share the medical expenses. A hundred years later, our houses and money will be divided equally among you brothers."

The couple couldn't say they treated their sons equally, but they didn't favor any of them either.

Liu Lai Fu had already said this, so it was not appropriate for Mrs. Liu's parents to say anything more.

It’s nothing for them, but the girl will still have to live in the Liu family in the future, so they can’t make the relationship too awkward.

So many people came to their house, not really wanting to cause trouble, but just wanting to seek justice for their daughter.

As of now, the matter of separation has been settled.

Out of courtesy, Jiang Cuihua said to her eldest daughter-in-law's family, "Let's have lunch here at noon. I'll cook."

She called her second daughter-in-law to help.

After the discussion, Liu Yinyin originally wanted to go home.

Jiang Cuihua also invited her to have dinner at her home: "You are not a big deal."

Liu Yinyin stayed to help Jiang Cuihua make lunch.

There are not many delicious dishes that the Liu family can offer. Apart from eggs, there is a piece of bacon, and the rest are some vegetables.

Liu Yinyin originally wanted to go home and get a piece of fresh pork to add to the dish...

Jiang Cuihua refused: "There is famine everywhere now. It is already quite generous to have so much food to entertain them. Besides..."

Jiang Cuihua lowered her voice and said, "You saw it just now. If we eat better, they will probably ask for this and that again."

To be honest, Jiang Cuihua felt a little aggrieved about this family division.

Just dividing up the eldest son's family like this, I wonder if the second and third sons' wives will have any thoughts?

My home really can't stand the trouble anymore.

Let’s not talk about whether the old couple are willing to divide the family property. Even if they are willing, there are no conditions in their family to do so.

How to divide such a small place?

During lunch, another embarrassing thing happened: Liu Mingcheng couldn't be found.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu's father and mother looked very unhappy, thinking that their son-in-law was fooling around outside again.

The old man was so angry that he left without even eating.

Liu Laifu and Jiang Cuihua both looked unhappy.

Liu Mingyuan: "Mom and Dad...How about I go out and look for my elder brother?"

Liu Laifu was so angry that his face turned red: "Why are you looking for such a big guy? Just let him die outside."

Liu Mingyuan: “…”

In the end, he didn't go to find Brother Liu. He didn't want to go either, it would be too embarrassing.

Everyone had no appetite for the meal.

After having lunch at Liu's house, Liu Yinyin took Gu Yanyan home.

On the way, I met a postman who was delivering a telegram...

The postman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Yinyin. He had just knocked on Liu Yinyin's door for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

If no one is home, the postman has to go back again.

Liu Yinyin received the letter and thanked him with a smile: "Comrade, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Yinyin went home and opened the envelope. This time there was only a telegram.

The telegram was not long and Liu Yinyin read it in one glance.

Gu Cheng didn't say much, but he dropped a bombshell piece of news.

Liu Yinyin was really a little surprised, and was thinking about how to tell this matter to the Liu family when she got back.

However, Liu Yinyin hasn’t figured out how to start the conversation yet.

Something's happened with Brother Liu again, and this time it's not about anything else.

After Brother Liu left at noon, he didn't go anywhere else. Just like before, he went to look for Widow Li.

However, he wasn't looking for Widow Li to fool around this time...

After learning the news, Liu Yinyin rushed to the Liu family again.

Jiang Cuihua was crying so hard at this moment: "This child, how could she be so depressed? She wanted to commit suicide instead of living a good life."

It turned out that after Brother Liu went to Widow Li's house, he directly swallowed a packet of rat poison.

Fortunately, Widow Li discovered it in time.

Someone from the Liu family was immediately asked to send Liu Mingcheng to the hospital, otherwise he would have died by now.
