Zhao jumped up in anger: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhao Er: "Otherwise, why are my elder brother and his wife dressed neatly, while my wife and children are wearing patched clothes?"
Zhao Da: “…”
Zhao Er: "Otherwise, why are my elder brother and sister-in-law so plump and plump, while my wife and children are so skinny?"
Zhao Da: “…”
Zhao Er: "Otherwise, why are those dozens of acres of land cultivated by Li and me through so much hard work? Brother and sister-in-law, have you ever gone to the fields? Do you know where the land is?"
Zhao Da: "...You just don't want to split up, right?! Why all these excuses!"
Zhao Er calmly shook his head: "No, I want to split the family."
Zhao Er said calmly, "You are so cruel and cold-blooded, so disregarding of family affection. You treated me this way even when I was alive. If I died, how would you treat my wife and children? Therefore, I will never hand them over to you!"
Li started to cry.
Zhao Er's words were equivalent to expressing all the grievances she had ever suffered.
He understands, he comprehends, he knows.
A grievance that can be understood is not a grievance.
"Her father..." Li held Zhao Er's hand, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm sorry, Liu'er, I want to split up, do you agree?" Zhao Er's eyes were red, and he tried hard not to cry.
Li nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face. "Whatever you say is what it is. Whatever you say is what it is."
Zhao Erya and the others nodded: "Dad, we will listen to whatever you say."
"Okay." Zhao Er gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty. For his current physical condition, nodding his head was extremely difficult.
He turned to look at the old village chief and said, "Uncle Village Chief, I want to divide the family property. I don't ask for more, I just want fairness."
The old village chief nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
With the old village chief in charge, the division of the family business went smoothly.
According to Old Lady Zhao's original intention, she could just send the second wife away. Who would care how they would survive in the future?
But it’s different with the old village chief here.
The old village chief divided all the Zhao family's property into four parts in accordance with the principle of fairness and equality.
One share goes to the eldest Zhao, one share goes to the second Zhao, one share goes to the third Zhao, and the other two elders also get one share.
Zhao Er's family was allocated 100 kilograms of food rations, some pots and pans, and a five-acre piece of land.
As for money.
"I don't have any money. I don't have any money at all!" Old Mrs. Zhao refused.
The old village chief sneered, "The 40 taels of silver Miss Yun gave you earlier, everyone in the village knows about it. Do you think I'm old and blind?!"
The respected old village chief was obviously angry!
Mr. Zhao glared at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Ten taels, give it to me quickly!"
Old Master Zhao usually doesn't talk much, but when he has a gloomy face, Old Lady Zhao dares not disobey, so she can only grit her teeth and take out ten taels of silver from the inner wardrobe and throw it to the second son angrily.
Zhao Er: "Mother——"
"Don't call me mother. I didn't give birth to a black-hearted son like you! Take this money and support your wife and children, you heartless little wolf cub!"
Zhao Er smiled bitterly: "..."
In the past, he always wanted to do more work for the family, because only in this way would his mother smile at him. But until now, after his mood changed, he finally realized how partial his mother was.
The old village chief personally wrote the letter of division.
