When the Luo family saw that the Zheng family had decided to split up, they asked Luo Xudong and Shang Jie to go to the hospital to replace Zheng Zhiyuan. The Zheng family's eldest and second daughter-in-law's families lived not too far away, so they also sent people to invite them over.

The second daughter-in-law's family knew what their daughter had done, so they were too embarrassed to express their opinions after they came over. However, the eldest daughter-in-law's family was a little unreasonable and came into the yard making a lot of noise, trying to fight for more for the eldest daughter-in-law.

But as soon as he came in and saw the Luo family's formation, he immediately shut up and found a place to sit down.

The Luo family looked down on the Zheng family's things, but they would not be so stupid as to not give up what they deserved, so they just listened to what the old couple of the Zheng family said. Not long after, Zheng Zhiyuan came back, and the division of the family began with everyone present.

The house they live in now is a public housing allocated by the textile factory. The property rights still belong to the factory, so they only have the right to live in it, not the right to buy or sell it. To put it bluntly, this house has no direct relationship with them now, unless they buy it with their own money in a few years.

This family was easy to divide. The only common items were the pots, pans, and food rations in the kitchen, and the rest was the public money. However, the total amount of money taken out was only 480 yuan.

The Luo family didn't care how much they got, as long as they could share it. Zheng Daquan said, "The family only has this much money now, so we divide it into five parts. Although Xiao Si is not married, she is also considered a household. Do you have any objection to this?"

The father-in-law of the eldest wife stood up and said, "You two old men will live with the eldest son in the future. Should the eldest wife get a bigger share?"

Zheng Daquan brought the tobacco basket over and said, "My dear, please sit down and listen to me first."

He reached out and took a small piece of cut paper from the basket, put tobacco in it and rolled it up. He licked the remaining tip of the paper with his tongue, using saliva as glue to stick it directly on, and then lit the cigarette.

He took a deep puff of his pipe and exhaled, coughed a few times, and then said, "We old couple won't follow anyone. We will live alone after the family splits up. When the fourth child gets married, we old couple will pay for the betrothal gifts and wedding banquets. I must make this clear to you."

The eldest son of the Zheng family said, "Dad, Mom, I am the eldest son, and it is my duty to provide for you two in your old age. How can your son gain a foothold in the family compound in the future if you do this?"

When we can't move in the future, you can take turns to take care of me. You don't have to give me retirement money. Except for the New Year gifts, it's up to you on weekdays. Anyway, our retirement fund should be enough in the future. If something big happens, you four brothers can just share it equally."

The father-in-law of the Zheng family's eldest wife stood up again and said, "My dear relatives, this is not fair. The first and second wives have several children, but your youngest son is all alone. Isn't it inappropriate to divide the money equally?"

Hao Xiuyue smiled and said, "My dear, you just mentioned that the first and second wives have several children. How can these children grow up without food or drink? The wages of the third and fourth wives have been handed over to the family in recent years. Where did the money go? It's used to support the family."

Now the father-in-law of the eldest wife was speechless and sat down dejectedly without saying a word. Zheng Zhiqiang, the eldest son of the Zheng family, was also very angry with his father-in-law. What can you say? To put it bluntly, he is also doing it for his own small family, but now he feels really embarrassed.

The matter was settled like this, and the old accountant next door was found to act as a middleman. The documents for the division of the family were written and all signed and sealed. The Zheng family was finally divided completely.

After the matter was settled, the people who had gathered to watch the fun dispersed. Originally, the Zheng family wanted to invite the daughters-in-law's families to have a meal, but the Luo family declined, saying they had other things to do.

The other two families lived not far away, and it was embarrassing to stay for dinner, so it did not affect everyone's work, and the separation was settled.

After leaving the family compound, the Luo family walked to the workers' activity center in front, preparing to take the bus from there. The cousin Luo Jiayue asked, "Qiaoqiao, why did you let Sister Jialin go back to the Zheng family to recuperate after giving birth?"
