"Dad, Mom, I'm going to start building the workshop on the first day of the new year. The date you originally agreed on for building the house on the ninth day remains unchanged. When you move to the town, you don't need any of your old things anymore. Just take the money and we'll furnish the new house with new things."
When talking about this, Ge Shuzhen felt very distressed: "Those quilts are all newly made, but they are still useless."
"Your mother is right. We can't throw it away!" Jiang Yongtian rarely spoke. He turned around and followed Liu Feiyang and said, "We will build a house first. Your uncle and second uncle won't build a house for the time being. We will live in their house for the time being and won't go to town. It's not too tiring to run back and forth every day."
Ke Xin glanced at her father and asked, "Are the eldest and second uncles not going to build a house?"
It was my aunt who wanted to build the house in the first place, why didn’t she do that?
Ke Xin wondered suspiciously whether her uncle's decision not to build a house had anything to do with the division of the family property.
Thinking about this, Grandpa gave the answer: "Your uncle is arguing about dividing the family property. Your aunt's wife wants to build the house before the division. Your uncle means that after the division, they can pay for the construction if they want. This is not a stalemate between the couple."
After hearing this, Ke Xin smiled and said, "I still agree with my uncle."
It's not easy for a mother to love her son, but can a son love his parents more than his own? So it's better to let these children experience the hardships of life before they know how happy it is to be with their parents.
Jiang Wuli also nodded with a smile: "I mean the same as you."
But he saw coldly that Jiang Fu's wife and Jiang You's wife both wanted to separate after the house was built so that they could save some money.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not good, Liu Feiyang asked someone to cut the winter melons. Xiaowu volunteered to go to the kitchen and brought back two big ones at once.
Xiao Wu smiled at the winter melon and said, "Uncle, aunt, this winter melon is delicious. It's even sweeter than the ones grown in summer. If you don't believe me, try it."
Jiang Yongtian's mouth was watering when he saw Xiaowu. He smiled and said, "Hmph, you should eat two more pieces later. You need to replenish your energy after working so much."
Xiao Wu almost knelt down in gratitude: "Oh, my uncle still cares about me."
After saying that, he gave Liu Feiyang a look and told him to figure it out for himself. He had done so many things but his uncle never praised him. But he just moved some food and his uncle praised him. It turned out that his uncle was more down-to-earth.
Perhaps the aroma of the winter melon attracted people, and my uncle dragged his aunt into the main room in no time.
"Oh, it's better for us to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
Xue Ying smelled the refreshing fragrance at the door. As soon as she entered the house, she saw the eight-immortal table filled with small pieces of winter melon. She was very envious: "Shuzhen is so lucky to have such a good daughter and son-in-law."
Liu Feiyang smiled and handed the two of them a cold melon, saying casually, "Having a good daughter is not as good as having a good son. Sometimes we are busy and may not come back once a month."
"It's different when my son is around. I can see him every day."
After he finished speaking, the uncle and aunt's faces were filled with embarrassment, and the bitter melon in their mouths no longer tasted sweet. Jiang Yongwen sighed softly and said, "A son's filial piety is not as good as a daughter-in-law's."
"It would be better to have a filial daughter." Xue Ying also said something factual.
Ke Xin glared at Liu Feiyang and cursed him inwardly for deliberately looking for trouble. Her uncle's family was making a fuss about dividing the family property, which was considered unfilial in the eyes of outsiders. Yet, he was the one who took the initiative to offend the couple.
Liu Feiyang pouted and looked at Jiang Yongwen: "Uncle, what you said is not entirely right. If your daughter-in-law is not filial, it is because your son's behavior is wrong. If your daughter is filial but does not have the support of her son-in-law, there will be quarrels and she may even be divorced. So filial piety is a two-way journey."
This is the case, but the problem is that some people don’t think so.
Jiang Yongwen looked at Liu Feiyang and said, "Now that your sister-in-law has proposed to separate the family, and your brother has no objection, I want to ask you, if we want to separate the family, should we do it after the house is built, or now?"
Liu Feiyang blinked twice. Logically speaking, he was an outsider and not a member of the Jiang family. Of course, he was not afraid of offending the Jiang family, but...
He glanced at his wife and finally asked, "Does the money my brothers earn give to you?"
The couple nodded and said, "Except for the money earned by our daughter-in-law's shop, all the earnings of our sons will be handed over to us, and we will give them some pocket money later."
Upon hearing this news, Liu Feiyang laughed: "If it were me, I would directly split the family, not only not building a house, but also not giving money."
Xue Ying was shocked after hearing this, staring at Liu Feiyang with two stupid eyes: "I can accept not building a house, but how will the children live if we don't give them money?"
"So when you split up the family business, how much money did you have? How much stuff did you have?"
Liu Feiyang asked his uncle and aunt a question, and the latter recalled the past. It seemed that they were so poor that they could only go out in their underwear. They only had one set of clothes, which they washed at night and wore during the day...
Jiang Yongwen immediately understood what Liu Feiyang meant: "Just listen to my nephew's husband. Divide the family property. Divide the pots and pans equally. The few acres of good land will also be divided equally. Give each person five taels of silver."
After saying that, he dragged Xue Ying out of the main hall. Ke Xin looked at Jiang Yongtian: "Dad, will my uncle do this..."
Before his father could say anything, Jiang Wuli said a few words: "It should have been divided like this a long time ago. Don't worry, Jiuer, even if something goes wrong, it's nothing more than finding a new wife for Jiang You."
Ke Xin didn't say anything, but she was feeling uneasy.
In the afternoon, Ke Xin and Su Yan were chatting in the room. She gave her the drawings of the twelve zodiac animals she had drawn: "Make two sets according to this. I didn't specify the colors. Just use your intuition to show them. Then take them to Liuji Clothing Store. I've already told the owner."
Su Yan saw that the ferocious tiger was painted so cute, and the cold and scary snake was painted so stupid. She immediately fell in love with it after seeing it: "How did you come up with such beautiful looks? Now the tiger and the snake don't seem so ugly and powerful anymore."
"This sheep is pretty, too. This pig...is completely different from the ones my uncle raises. It's so pretty."
Ke Xin liked the drawings, but she plagiarized them from something she had seen before; they weren't her ideas. "Then make a set when you have time. Calculate the cost and labor costs, and then I'll have the shopkeeper sell them. If they're a hit, you can just go into the puppet business and I'll find a model for you later."
Su Yan treasured the drawing in her hand and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll try to draw something different later."
The aunt and sister-in-law were talking in whispers in the south room, as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with them.
When I was having dinner in the evening, I didn’t see my uncle’s family. I guess at this time, my uncle should be at home talking about dividing the family property.
The table was full of food and everyone was toasting to each other.
