Chapter 110 Plan

Zhulan had just come back to her senses when the children who came to pay New Year's greetings arrived. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren signaled to Boss Zhou to put out the baskets containing red envelopes. The children also entered the hall. There were quite a lot of dolls in the first batch, twenty of them were the dolls of patriarch Zhou and several elders in the clan.

After a child finished paying New Year's greetings, Zhulan gave him a red envelope with a piece of candy in it. The child's finger hit the copper plate. The children were so happy that they jumped up and down and continued to pay New Year's greetings.

In the morning, not only the children of the clan came to pay New Year's greetings, but also many children from the village. Even the children from the Zheng family next door came. There was no room for discrimination during New Year's Day. All those who came to pay New Year's greetings were given red envelopes. Fortunately, we bought enough candies. Zhulan's family gave out more than a hundred red envelopes. There were really a lot of children who came.

Zhulan's face was stiff from smiling, and she had long forgotten what the young lady had said. Her waist was aching from sitting for so long, and since no one would come to pay New Year's greetings after lunch, she lay down to rest until the evening.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the daughter returned to her parents' home, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren took Zhou Laoer back to Yang's home, and the eldest son and his family returned to Li's home. Fortunately, the Zhou family had Zhao for lunch. Although her food was not as delicious as Li's, it was much better than Xuemei's.

After the second day of the Chinese New Year, people start to pay New Year's greetings to each other. Several elders in the clan will visit each other. There is no time to spare. After going through this process, you will gain at least two pounds of weight.

There was an unpleasant episode in the middle. Zhulan's family gave out red envelopes in copper plates. Zhu used Rongchuan's New Year's gift as the red envelope. Zhu was concerned about the clan leader's warning and did not come in person, so she asked her own daughter to come. Zhulan knew that if she did not show up, she could not let Rongchuan take care of everything, and the Zhang family's affairs had to rely on Rongchuan himself.

Luckily, Rongchuan was not stupid and did not give it to Xuehan. Instead, he gave all the New Year's money to Xuehan. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren said, "She knows to hand over money at such a young age. Not bad, not bad."

In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the first lunar month, the day when the Jiang family split up. In the morning, Zhulan took out the flour and made noodles. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, people eat noodles to ensure longevity. After eating the noodles, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren accompanied the young lady back to the Jiang family, and the eldest brother was the one who drove the car.

The child was not brought back and the house hadn’t been lit for a long time. On the first day of separation, we had to wait until everything was cleaned up to prevent the child from suffering.

When Zhulan arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Yong had already invited Li Zheng and the elders of the Jiang family and was waiting for Jiang Sheng and his wife.

Li Zheng didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and the elder of the Jiang family didn't scold Jiang Sheng. He copied the separation document according to Zhou Shuren's instructions. Jiang Sheng signed and put his fingerprints without objection. Zhou Shuren took one of the three copies of the separation document.

Zhulan thought that only Jiang Sheng would be divided out, but she didn't expect that the entire Jiang family was divided up. The old couple lived with the eldest son of the Jiang family. Jiang Sheng had to pay ten taels of silver for copying books. These days, Jiang Sheng copied two books, and the ten taels were directly paid out. The Jiang family also divided the silver.

There was not much grain left in the Jiang family, most of it was exchanged for silver. Jiang Sheng did not get any fine grains, but he did get 100 kilograms of cornmeal. The rest of the bowls and chopsticks were shared among the family of four. Because they had no land, the farm tools did not need to be shared, and Jiang Sheng did not get any poultry either. To put it bluntly, Jiang Sheng got a thatched house to live in and 100 kilograms of grain.

There was no family division banquet at the Jiang family. Jiang's mother completely resented Jiang Sheng. Even though Jiang's mother and the kind-hearted man liked the feeling of being the head of the family, they could no longer be the head of the family. After the division, they did not even look at Jiang Sheng. Jiang Yong, on the other hand, was closer to him. She still had hope that Jiang Sheng would pass the imperial examination and exempt the family from taxes, so she did not break off the relationship.

Zhulan took her daughter back to the house, "There is a kang pot in the house for cooking, but what we lack is firewood. I will ask your eldest brother to buy a cart of firewood and food. Your village is close to the county, so I will go to the county with you to buy everything you need."

Xuemei smiled dryly and said, "Well, mother."

Zhulan asked, "What's the secret you want to tell me?"
