As the saying goes, distance creates beauty.

This is completely in line with human nature.

Even if it is blood that is thicker than water, many normal people with normal minds, a yearning for freedom, and instinctive needs for material and spiritual things firmly believe that there should be a certain distance between relatives.

Based on the lessons of her life, Chen Xuanxuan thinks that the elderly parents-in-law should not live directly with their daughters-in-law or granddaughters-in-law.

Each doing their own thing and having their own territory is what every adult should do.

Chen Xuanxuan thought that after she had distanced herself from them, she would not have to look at the faces of her daughters-in-law and think about her poor health every day. She would not have to sit at home every day, waiting for her daughters-in-law to serve her.

Bring her water to wash her feet, feed her, turn her over and massage her, tell her strange stories to ease her heart...

As an adult who has experienced the information explosion society, Chen Xuanxuan felt that some of her modern ideas and concepts were still in line with the times and were completely in line with human nature and the development requirements of each person.

However, the group of village women in front of her were particularly surprised when they heard about this.

"You want to separate the family? You are still so young, and you want to separate the family?"

After hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan asked strangely, "What's wrong, you guys? What's going on?"

"Why can't I separate the family at such a young age? Since I knew from the beginning that being a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law have different personalities and different concepts of life, we should make preparations in advance. The sooner we separate, the sooner we can live a peaceful life..."

Chen Xuanxuan is in this life, and she only has more than 30,000 days to spend.

During these short days, she felt that she should be kinder to herself and not have trouble with herself.

Every day, his daughter-in-law lives under the same roof as him, and... she doesn't get any benefits, and she doesn't get much sense of accomplishment. All she has is endless quarrels, fights,... Who wants to live a life like this? !

...

Chen Xuanxuan wanted to let her sons separate the family after a few years when the family made some money.

This piece of news caused an uproar among the farmers in Gujiagang.

Because the old people in Gujiagang would rather die than let their children take the initiative to separate the family. Because in their view, once they leave the family, their rights in the family will naturally be dispersed. No one will value old people like them, and no one will respect them!

"Hey..., Brother Yan's daughter-in-law, what I just said to you are all the true feelings in my heart. It is also the life experience of all of us. You can listen if you want to, and forget it if you don't want to. Anyway, what I just said is not of much benefit to me at all..."

Chen Xuanxuan was suddenly alert when she heard these words.

She realized that the words spoken by the woman with gray hair in front of her were indeed what she thought in her heart.

If she couldn't suppress the arrogance of her daughter-in-law when she was young, then when she was old, it would be even more impossible for her to suppress the arrogance of her increasingly powerful daughter-in-law...

At this moment, Chen Xuanxuan suddenly thought of a famous saying in Dream of the Red Chamber. Either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the west wind suppresses the east wind. In short, there will always be one or two confrontations between the parents-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

"Auntie Ba, don't be angry. I have remembered everything you said to me. I also know that the things you just reminded me of were also out of your good intentions. Don't worry, I won't divide the family so simply."

"After all, dividing the family does not mean directly dividing the population of the family, but dividing the family's property in a certain way..." Although

the country people don't have much money, the needles and thread, pots and pans and other things of the country people are actually worth a little money.

Especially in this feudal ancient society.

For all the lower-class peasants who were born in bad circumstances and have no money, dividing the family property means dividing the family property, that is, dividing the fields and land, the trees, the pots and pans, the chopsticks, the tables, everything in the family...

Chen Xuanxuan now has 4 adopted sons.

The 4 adopted sons have also married.

Although they have not given birth to a son now, since they have started a family and established a career, it means that they have already prepared to raise their own offspring.

Since they are prepared, when they arrive, they will definitely think about how much money their parents can give them.

If the money is not enough, they will definitely complain and even resent their parents.

If they are given too much money, they will have to work as parents, and their lives in old age will be insecure. After all, their retirement savings have all been spent.

It feels like the matter of dividing the family is not that simple, and it still needs to be considered in the long run. Chen Xuanxuan suddenly said in a serious manner in front of her sons and daughters-in-law at this time.

"This matter of dividing the family cannot be resolved overnight. I am still young, and there is still a long time to come. This matter has to be done slowly..."

Hearing Chen Xuanxuan say this, her four adopted sons felt particularly happy. However, her daughters-in-law felt that their mother-in-law was too stingy.

Especially her eldest daughter-in-law, Jiang. At

this moment, she kept muttering in her heart, "What do you mean by taking it slow? You are so old, and I don't know if you can hold on in the future? How much money can you make for this family..."

Jiang would wrap her face with a layer of cloth every day when she went out. She was particularly particular about chastity at this moment, so every time she saw old lady Liu, who spoke with an open mouth, had a particularly loud voice, and liked to laugh, her eyes were full of disdain.

Jiang felt that old lady Liu and Chen Xuanxuan were too vulgar.

She liked to act according to the rules of her grandfather since she was a child. She liked to listen to her grandfather, her parents, and her elders...

So, she looked particularly quiet on the outside. She

was the kind of person who followed the old ways...

She just couldn't stand her mother-in-law, who lived a comfortable life like her mother.

"Mother-in-law, let's not talk about whether to divide the family or not. We still have to go back to cook. Men have to eat when they come back."
