Chapter 339: Really Divided - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
The ones most shocked by Director Liu's arrival were the Li family's sons and daughters-in-law.
Yu Xiaowan and Feng Xiaoli vaguely guessed something and felt a little excited.
So, the two of them looked at each other and tacitly stopped finding fault, and the kitchen seemed a little quieter.
The wife that Li Laosan married from the countryside also calmed down when Yu Xiaowan and Feng Xiaoli were not finding fault with her. It was not because she was a content person, but because she was afraid of being an official.
Aunt Li was chatting with Director Liu when she suddenly felt that the environment, which had been noisy for several days, had suddenly become quiet. She felt a little uncomfortable.
She smiled bitterly a few times. She thought that the eldest and second sons' wives should have guessed what the old couple wanted to do.
It happened that because of this, she felt even more depressed.
She didn't think she was a mean mother-in-law. When the third son went to the countryside and there were only the eldest son, the second son and his family and the youngest sister at home, the old couple gave them both a lot of subsidies. Why couldn't she stand it less than a month after the third son came back?
Forget it, since they all want to split up, then let them do it!
After dinner, the whole family and an assistant brought by Director Liu sat in the living room.
"Everyone is here. Today I have a big announcement to make. I have decided to separate you two."
The three daughters-in-law of the Li family lowered their heads and tried hard to suppress their smiles, but the three sons of the Li family reacted differently, "Mom and Dad, why do we want to separate the family? Don't we want to separate the family?"
"Yes, we will not separate the family."
"Yeah, well, the family will not be divided while the parents are still here."
Master Li quickly interrupted them, "Alright, alright, stop talking, I have made up my mind."
Now everyone else shut up.
"Director Liu, please help me bear witness to this." Master Li smiled at Director Liu.
"Okay, no problem." Director Liu instructed the clerk beside him to write down the details of the division later.
"Okay, now I want to talk about the division of our property. You will each have a room in this house. It's just right. Your younger sister will live with us for the time being until she gets married."
The others listened in silence, thinking that the housing distribution was fair.
The first and second wives had nothing to say. They couldn't say that they should be allocated more just because they had children now. After all, the third wife would also have children in the future.
"Do you have any other ideas?"
Several people shook their heads.
"Okay, let me continue. After the houses are distributed, the most important thing is the family savings. The total amount of money in the family is 1,500 yuan."
When the people in the several rooms heard this number, their breathing immediately quickened. Even the director of the street office could not help but be surprised. One thousand five hundred, this number is not easily obtained, so how do the old couple plan to distribute it?
However, considering that there were three people in their family working before, with a total monthly salary of more than 100 yuan, 1,500 yuan seems to be relatively little.
"I plan to divide this money among you equally. Each of you will get 300 yuan."
Several daughters-in-law were immediately excited. 300 yuan? Why only 300 yuan?
Compared with 1,500 yuan, the 300 yuan is instantly a lot less. But if they divided it among three families, how come they only got 300 yuan?
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think it's unreasonable?"
Although Li Laosan's wife had not been to school much, she still knew a little about arithmetic. She felt that there was something wrong with this number. "Dad, ... did you calculate it wrong?"
"You miscalculated. How could I have miscalculated? I still know such a simple calculation." Master Li stared at her with his eyes wide open.
"Why is it so little?" Li Laosan's wife complained in a low voice.
Mr. Li looked at the other people again. It was obvious that even if they didn't ask directly, their minds were filled with this question.
"Ahem, that's enough, you don't have to guess, there's nothing wrong with my allocation, it includes your little sister's share."
"Little sister, why should you give it to her? She is just a loser!"
Aunt Li had been watching from the side. When she heard this, she couldn't help but slam the table and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Li Laosan's wife shuddered and said, "I didn't say anything wrong. I..."
"Stop talking!" Li Laosan quickly pulled her arm to stop her from continuing.
Li Laosan's wife was still a little reluctant, "Why? Isn't what I said the truth?"
Mr. Li was so angry that he slammed the table. "Alright, I made the decision. It's up to you whether you want it or not. You and I raised you and found you wives. We have done our best for you. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Li Laosan's wife fell silent immediately and nodded quickly. She was afraid that she would not even get the 300 yuan back in the end, so she did not dare to continue speaking or refutating.
"It's decided. The 300 yuan left for my little sister will be her dowry. The money for her dowry will come from here. I think you brothers have no objection to this, right?"
"No opinion, no opinion." How dare Boss Li and others have any opinions?
"Okay, the most important things have been divided. There is nothing else to divide. Each family will have their own bowls and chopsticks. Your mother will arrange these!"
Aunt Li is indeed a smart person. She had already prepared everything beforehand. "The things in the kitchen will also be divided into four parts, one for each family."
"Mom, what do you mean? Dad, Mom, you guys don't want to live with us?"
"We don't want to live with you. We, the old couple, live alone with our little sister."
Their sons wanted to persuade them, but seeing the determined faces of the two, they thought about it and gave up.
"Okay, it's settled." Master Li made the decision immediately.
Some people had no opinions, or it could be said that some people did not dare to have any opinions at all.
…
Director Liu listened quietly throughout the whole process, acting as a mascot. Today, she was just a witness and didn't need him to say much.
The young clerk had already written down what Master Li said. "Have you finished writing it down?"
"Uh-huh."
Director Liu took out the written paper from his hand and said, "Come, take a look. Have you forgotten anything?"
Mr. Li shook his head. "No, I have written it all down."
Director Liu nodded and said, "Okay, then copy it twice more." The latter sentence was obviously directed to the clerk she was in charge of.
"good!"
Very quickly, I finished copying it.
"Okay, make three copies, and each of you sign and put your fingerprints on them!"
The Li family could be said to have accepted their fate at this point! They signed their names quickly one by one.
The dust has settled, and the separation is over!
