Chapter 2: Division



When they got inside, Mrs. Wang frowned and grabbed Boss Jiang's clothes and said, "Your fourth brother's treatment will cost five taels of silver, not to mention that he will be unable to work in the fields for the rest of his life. We will have to support the four families for the rest of our lives. Besides, our eldest son is of marriageable age. Five taels of silver is enough to marry him off, so we must divide the family this time."

Boss Jiang lowered his head and thought for a moment before making a decision. He turned to his eldest son and said, "Hong'er, go get the head of the village and the village chief and tell them we have something to discuss."

Having said this, he paused and said to the eldest Wang who was standing beside him, "Go and take your two younger brothers and sisters to prepare a feast. We will have a dinner party tonight after we finish our business."

When he walked out of the house, he found Jiang Tuantuan looking at him in confusion. Jiang Lao Da coughed twice and said, "I might as well tell you that we are going to separate from today. The head of the village and the village chief will be here soon. You'd better not make a fuss, otherwise I will kick you out of the house." Because he didn't want the head of the village and the village chief to laugh at him, he quickly asked Jiang Tuantuan to take his mother to pack up and change clothes.

Jiang Tuantuan was very angry. His brother was injured, but instead of thinking about treating him quickly, he just wanted to divide everything. Such a bad relative deserved to be divided up.

Jiang Tuantuan took Feng Xiaoli back to the house to change clothes. Jiang Dafeng, who was lying in the house, heard the conversation outside and sighed: "Xiao Tuantuan, if you want to divide the family, then divide it, but your brother must fight for it."

Jiang Tuantuan said that was certain.

After a while, all the Jiang family members arrived, and the head of the village and the village chief also came.

Boss Jiang invited the head of the village and the village chief to go into the house for tea first. The head of the village waved his hand and sat in the yard because he felt the house was too stuffy.

The head of the village sat on the left, Jiang Lao Da, Jiang Lao Er, and Jiang Lao San sat on the right, and behind them stood Da Wang, her second and third sisters-in-law, and a few half-grown children.

A circle of villagers gathered outside the yard to watch the fun.

The village chief turned to Jiang Lao Da and asked, "Jiang Dashu, what exactly did you ask us to come for?"

Boss Jiang glanced at Jiang Tuantuan, coughed lightly, and said, "I asked you to come here today because I want to separate the fourth family."

As soon as Boss Jiang finished speaking, the yard immediately became quiet, and the villagers outside the yard immediately started discussing. Jiang Laosi's family had just had an accident yesterday, and today they were going to be separated. How would they live in the future?

The village head raised his eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and looked at Boss Jiang with a look that deepened a little.

The village chief then turned to Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao San and asked, "What do you two think?"

Ever since Jiang Laoer learned that his youngest brother was injured and would be unable to work in the future, he thought it would be better to divide the business. Otherwise, as the older brother, he would have to take care of his youngest brother's life and death, which would cost a lot of money.

So he said, "I agree to separate the four rooms."

Jiang Lao San is a soft-hearted person. He has only listened to his eldest and second brothers since he was a child. When he sees that they agree, he also agrees.

The village chief looked at the three people with some anger. He gritted his teeth and asked Boss Xiang Jiang: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Boss Jiang felt a little nervous when he saw the village chief gritting his teeth, but Da Wang nudged him from behind, so he hardened his heart and clenched his fists and said, "I'm sure, and my wife is very angry when she sees the fourth family. This will not be conducive to our future life."

"No division!" Lin, the mistress of the Jiang family, leaned on the door with a cane and shouted at Boss Jiang.

"You agreed, but I don't. At this time, the family should still be united. Dividing the family will not end well," said the mistress Lin. She seemed to have used up all her strength when she said this short sentence and began to pant.

Jiang Laoer said anxiously, "Mother, dividing the family is the best thing for us. Fourth brother can't be saved, his legs are just like that, and we don't have the money to support them."

The Jiang family's mistress was so angry that she almost fainted. She was already very weak.

Jiang Tuantuan watched all this and said to the village chief, "On behalf of my father, I agree to the division of the family."

Then he said to the Jiang family mistress: "Grandma, don't worry, we will find a way to take care of ourselves."

In modern times, Jiang Tuantuan took only five years to become a prominent figure in the business world.

The sales performance of the company I work for has always been far ahead. Without this group of weird relatives, I, Jiang Tuantuan, would definitely be living a better life.

The mistress of the Jiang family found that everything was a foregone conclusion. She sighed and said to Boss Jiang, "One day in the future, you will regret your decision today." After that, she returned to the house on crutches.

At this time, more and more villagers gathered outside the yard. Many people finished their farm work and even skipped dinner to run over to see what was happening.

The village chief listened to the noise outside and slammed the table vigorously, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Since you all agree to divide the family property, then let's talk about how to divide the family property."

Boss Jiang said cheerfully, "Give the 20 mu of land on the back hill to the fourth child. The fourth child can't farm anymore, so it would be a waste to give them good land. Besides, there's a thatched hut on the back hill that they can live in, and they can take everything in it with them."

The village chief was a little angry. "That's a wasteland. No crops can be grown there. There's also a large area of ​​poisonous fruit trees. Are you trying to force them to death?"

But the eldest brother Jiang was very arrogant: "We can only give these, nothing else, and our father died early, and the fourth brother grew up relying on us for support. Giving these is already the most we can do." The second brother Jiang immediately echoed.

The village chief was so angry that he almost burst into a curse. "Everyone in the village knows that the fourth child has been the one who did the most work since he was young. When he was still so young, he had to carry all of your clothes to the river to wash. The work of chopping firewood at home was also done by the fourth child's wife."
