Chapter 0050: Zhongxiang and his wife's night talk (sincerely invite book friends from all walks of life to follow the Yi family to relive that era
Although Liu Guoxiang didn't finish her words, Yi Zhongxiang still understood what his wife meant.
He patted his wife's hand soothingly and said, "Don't think too much. If you want to divide the family, you have to consult the children first."
"Besides, everyone knows my little sister's secret. What if they feel resentful after sharing this?"
Liu Guoxiang felt a little regretful: "If I had known this would happen, I should have split up the family first before telling them the secret."
"That's not right either."
Yi Zhongxiang whispered, "If that's the case, it will alienate the eldest family from our family."
"Too."
Liu Guoxiang was a little embarrassed and conflicted. "I really don't want to separate the children from each other."
"But if we don't divide it up, we won't get more housing land. Without it, when the second son gets married, we won't have a place to live at home."
"Besides, Rongying and Xiaomei are getting older. It's not a good idea for them to live in the same room with us."
"Yeah, the kids are growing up and they need more and more rooms."
Yi Zhongxiang also felt pressured, "We really should find a way to build a few more houses."
After a brief silence, he asked the people around him, "By the way, how much money has your family saved now? Is it enough to build three rooms?"
"Three rooms are still not enough."
Liu Guoxiang reminded us, "Our children are growing up, and our grandchildren are growing up too."
"Besides, you're taking care of the second one, but what about the third one?"
"We are all family, we can't favor one over the other."
"The third child is still young, so we can wait a few more years."
Yi Zhongxiang hesitated, "How about..."
“No, either don’t build it, or build it all at once.”
Liu Guoxiang decisively broke her husband's idea of taking it slow, "Our little sister has more and more secrets. Have you ever thought about the consequences of her continuing to live with someone else?"
Yi Zhongxiang: "Or, borrow money from my younger sister to build a few more houses."
"When our family's financial situation improves in the future, I'll return it to my younger sister."
After a slight pause, he added, "My younger sister recently came up with a recipe for making bricks and tiles. I'm thinking about whether I should join forces with my brothers."
Liu Guoxiang: "Our place is too remote. After the bricks and tiles are fired, we need people to transport them to the highway, which is quite troublesome."
After a moment of silence, she continued, "Besides, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. If we want to work together on bricks and tiles, we have to make all the ugly things clear to avoid any enmity later."
"I understand that."
Yi Zhongxiang said softly, "It's not easy for our brotherly relationship to last this long. It's precisely because the division of the family property was relatively fair that..."
"whispering sound."
Before her husband could finish his words, Liu Guoxiang snorted disdainfully, interrupting Yi Zhongxiang's self-deception.
"The reason you two have such a good relationship is because you guys give in to Fourth Brother's family. Otherwise, they would never get to live in the main house."
"It's all in the past, why are you still bringing it up?"
Yi Zhongxiang said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, second brother, and third brother all have no objections, let's..."
"I don't have any objections, but... forget it. If I say too much, you'll think I'm fussy."
Liu Guoxiang wanted to say that everyone just didn't want to quarrel with each other face to face, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Yi Zhongxiang heard the years of suppressed dissatisfaction in his wife's tone and smiled gently, "Why would I dislike you? Don't overthink it."
"I know you're arguing with Fourth Brother and his wife's family for the sake of our little family."
Liu Guoxiang felt much better after hearing what her husband said.
But he still sighed and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's think about how to save more money and build the house sooner."
"The children at home are getting older and older. They shouldn't continue to share a room with us like this."
Yi Zhongxiang nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Yes, the house needs to be built, and the children need to be taken care of."
Then he lowered his voice and discussed with his wife: "What do you think is the best way to divide the profits from the brickyard?"
"After thinking about it, this is the only way my family can make money right now."
"First of all, this brick and tile formula was taken out by my younger sister, so I should be counted as one of hers. The rest should be divided equally among the five families or something like that. You brothers can discuss it among yourselves."
Liu Guoxiang paused at this point, then said with some embarrassment, "But if we divide it equally between the eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law, I'm afraid that the fourth sister-in-law will make trouble again."
"Don't worry. If she goes too far, we will speak up for her."
Speaking of this, Yi Zhongxiang was no longer worried. "My sister-in-law is also a sensible person. She will never let things go unfinished and cause a commotion."
"snort."
Liu Guoxiang snorted coldly, "What you mean by being sensible is giving in to you everywhere?"
"How come?"
Yi Zhongxiang was embarrassed by his wife's words, "After all, there is a rule. I will never let my sister-in-law suffer any loss."
"My eldest brother was conscripted and taken away. He's been gone for decades. I don't know what his situation is now. As brothers, we have to take good care of his wife for him."
Speaking of Yi Zhongze, the eldest brother of the Yi family, Liu Guoxiang couldn't help but turn sideways and face her husband: "Do you think that the eldest brother has a family outside?"
"this……"
Yi Zhongxiang didn't dare to guarantee it, "It's been so many years, I don't know."
"I was still young when my eldest brother was captured by those people over there, so I really don't understand what happened."
The two of them talked in low voices for a while until they felt sleepy and then fell asleep.
The next morning, Yi Zhongxiang got up, washed up simply, and went to the boss's room.
The eldest daughter-in-law has already gotten up and is preparing breakfast for the whole family.
Yi Ronghua was playing on the bed with her two children. When she saw her father come in, she quickly stood up and greeted him.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
He knew that his father would never enter his room easily unless he was fine.
"It's nothing serious, I just came to tell you something."
Yi Zhongxiang responded with a smile, his eyes lingering on his grandchildren for a moment before he got down to business: "Boss, yesterday your second uncle said he would divide the family property between Rong Kang and Rong Xiu."
"Do you and Decong have any ideas?"
"Ah? Dad, what did you say?"
Yi Ronghua didn't expect his father to come over so early in the morning to discuss this with him. He instantly became nervous, "Did Mou Decong and I do something wrong?"
"How could you and my mother have the heart to separate us?"
"Yes, Dad, why do you ask?"
Listening to the voices of her husband and the father-in-law, Mou Decong took the time to come in and listen.
As a result, I heard that the old couple also planned to split up their family of four.
She asked anxiously, "Did you or my mom hear some gossip outside and think Ronghua and I did something wrong, so you want to separate us?"
"Hey, don't be nervous."
Yi Zhongxiang knew that the two children had misunderstood, and quickly spoke to comfort them, "You are both good, you have done nothing wrong."
"Your mother and I thought this way. If we split up now, we can ask the production team for a piece of land for our homestead. That way, your family of four won't have to squeeze into one room."
"The child is still young, so it's okay if they squeeze in."
