After hearing what Zhou's father said, not only Sun Fengjiao and Zhou Jun became nervous, but even the carefree Zhou Jiakang and Xia Yue'e became nervous.
The house is the most important thing in the family division. Dad asked the third son to divide it into three parts, in case the third son wants to divide it according to the proportion of the money contributed when building the house.
If this family gets one share, both families won't even have a roof over their heads to shelter from the rain.
But the two did not dare to speak at this time and just looked at Zhou Yubai.
"Dad, when this house was built, the family hadn't been divided yet. No matter who paid for it, this house is public property. You can divide it however you want, without having to consider who paid for it in the first place." Zhou Yubai said with his usual stern face.
Hearing his words, the first and second wives felt relieved.
Father Zhou cleared his throat and said, "Okay, then I'll divide the house."
The layout of the Zhou family courtyard is that after entering the gate, there are three rooms in the main house and three rooms on each side.
The main house has three rooms in the middle, with a bedroom on each side. The bedroom on the left side of the main house is now occupied by Zhou's father and mother.
The bedroom on the right side of the main room used to be occupied by Zhou Yubai. After Zhou Yubai rebuilt the yard and moved out, it became empty.
The three rooms on the left are now occupied by the eldest son, and the three rooms on the right are occupied by the second son.
Zhou's father finally decided to divide the three rooms currently occupied by the first and second wives among them.
The three rooms in the main house were left to the third brother's family.
"Third brother." After dividing the property, Father Zhou looked at Zhou Yubai and asked, "Do you and your wife plan to live in your courtyard or move back home?"
Zhou Yubai looked at Shen Chuning.
The meaning is very clear, he always listens to his wife.
Shen Chu Ning smiled and said, "Dad, we will live in the small courtyard. That small courtyard is our new house. We will get used to it."
Father Zhou nodded, "That's fine. Then your mother and I will continue to live in the original house, and the remaining house will be left empty for you. Is that okay with you?"
Shen Chu Ning shook his head repeatedly, “Dad, I have no objection.”
Father Zhou looked at the first and second wives again, "Big brother, second brother, do you have any opinions?"
Zhou Jiakang quickly waved his hand, "Dad, I have no objection."
He didn't pay any money for this house, and he was already very satisfied to have three large brick and tile houses.
Zhou Jun had previously wanted to ask for an extra room based on his three sons. After all, his eldest brother’s three daughters would be married off in the future and would not need so many rooms.
But his three sons are going to marry wives back home, so each of them must have a room.
But just now, Dad said that the money for building the house was paid by the third son, and let the third son decide how to divide the house. It was obviously a threat to them, and he didn't dare to object.
After Zhou Jun expressed his opinion, Zhou's father nodded and said, "Okay, since you have no objection, then I will talk about the kitchen. Now this kitchen is used by only the two of us old guys.
Eldest brother and second brother, build a kitchen in the yard next to your rooms.
Third brother, Dad won’t make any arrangements for you. Just choose a place to start your own business, and I’ll come over to help you when the time comes. ”
"Okay." Zhou Yubai nodded in response.
Lin Shulan then divided up the pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen.
Shen Chu Ning didn't ask for anything else, just a set of blue and white earthenware bowls and two half-new enamel pots.
But she can't take these things back for the time being.
Because the kitchens of the three families had not been built yet.
So Lin Shulan decided that they should all eat together before their kitchen was built, and the things that were divided in the kitchen would be moved in after the kitchens of the three families were built.
After everything was divided, Zhou's father waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys move your own food back and do what you need to do."
"Dad, wait."
As soon as Zhou's father finished speaking, Zhou Jiakang shouted anxiously: "You and mother gave your share of the money to our eldest wife, so from now on you will live with us!
I am the eldest son, and it is only right and reasonable that I should take care of you in your old age. ”
When Sun Fengjiao heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes, thinking that her silly man had finally become smart for once.
My parents-in-law are only in their fifties and in very good health. My father-in-law can get full work points for a strong laborer, and my mother-in-law can get eight work points a day.
If my parents-in-law follow their family, then the work points they earn will belong to their family.
She quickly agreed, "Yes, Dad, Mom, we are the eldest sons and the eldest son of the family, so we should take care of you in your old age."
When they were dividing things just now, Zhou's father and Lin Shulan felt a little uncomfortable when they saw that their eldest daughter-in-law and second son were afraid of being at a disadvantage.
At this time, they felt much relieved when they saw their eldest son and daughter-in-law took the initiative to offer to support them in their old age.
Zhou Jun also immediately understood why his sister-in-law, who was always good at calculating, was willing to let the two elders live with them.
But he didn't say anything.
Based on his understanding of his parents, since they are still able to work, it is impossible for them to follow any of their families.
Sure enough, Zhou's father said, "Boss, your mother and I are very happy that you have this intention. Now your mother and I can still work, and we don't need you to support us in our old age. We can live on our own."
After Zhou's father finished speaking, Zhou Jun also hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, although you can still work, it is our responsibility as sons to provide for you in your old age. If you don't want to live with us, then we will give you some money and food for your old age every year."
He knew very well that his parents would not take their money and food, and he said this just to curry favor with them.
The eldest son can't be the focus of all the attention, otherwise his parents won't remember him when anything good happens in the future.
Father Zhou waved his hand again, "No need, your mother and I can still support ourselves now. If you really want to provide for us in our old age, wait until we can no longer move, and then we can discuss how much money and food you will give us per month and how to provide for us."
