Sun Meiping didn't say a word the whole night, and watched the development of things coldly. Now, when she heard what Zhao Yongyu said, she looked at her husband with disappointment.
Everything that happened tonight overturned Sun Meiping's three views. She thought her husband's family, who had strict family rules, were actually a group of thieves.
It's bad enough that the eldest brother's family is selfish, but the old man is also a fool and a wicked person.
Even her own man has no sense of responsibility and is not responsible.
The old man passed away, and the eldest and third sons were still alive, but they actually wanted to put the responsibility of supporting them in their old age on a widow with three young children.
Sun Meiping looked at Qian Chunhua with admiration. This sister-in-law was usually taciturn. Every time she came home, she would be busy in the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, all these things were handled beautifully tonight.
Qian Chunhua felt Sun Meiping's gaze and glanced at her indifferently. He actually saw admiration in Sun Meiping's eyes.
Qian Chunhua was stunned. She thought that if she said that she wanted to break up the engagement tonight, she would be hated by everyone in the Zhao family.
Unexpectedly, not only did Zhao Qi remain silent, but even his sister-in-law actually looked at him with admiration?
Qian Chunhua thought that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had positive values, unlike other people in the Zhao family.
Qian Chunhua nodded towards Sun Meiping.
Several people in charge started discussing again, and this time Zhao Yongyu was included in the discussion.
After a long time, they regained consciousness.
Patriarch Zhao said, "Daughter-in-law Yongcai, I can sever the relationship as you requested, but you can buy out the old-age pension for a lump sum of two taels of silver."
Qian Chunhua: "What other conditions do you have? State them all at once."
Qian Chunhua spoke quickly. She didn't believe that Zhao Yongqiang and Zhao Yongyu would agree so readily.
Zhao Yongqiang: "You can't live in this house, and you can't take anything from the house. You don't have a share of the land either."
Qian Chunhua sneered: "No, this house was built with the money earned by Zhao Yongcai. As long as my child still has the surname Zhao and recognizes Zhao Yongcai as his father, we are entitled to live in this house forever."
Qian Chunhua knew clearly that although he lived close to Zhao Yongqiang and his family, this house was made of blue bricks and was very solid.
The other houses in the village include wooden houses and thatched houses. When it snows heavily in winter, we have to stay up all night to sweep the snow, otherwise the roofs will easily collapse under the snow.
It is winter now. If I move out and take my three children with me, even if I find a house, it will be a thatched house and my safety will not be guaranteed.
Moreover, everyone in the village knew about the several taels of silver that Zhao Yongqiang's family had to pay as compensation for the breakup. Now that he lived in a thatched house, it was easier for thieves to break in.
The blue brick walls here make you feel safe living here.
Village chief Wang also thought that the conditions proposed by Zhao Yongqiang were too harsh. It turned out that Qian Chunhua was not stupid.
Village Chief Wang: "Daughter-in-law Yongcai, tell me what your conditions are."
Qian Chunhua: "I agree to give you a lump sum of 10,000 taels of silver as pension money.
The west wing we live in now was left to us by Zhao Yongcai, and we will continue to live there.
The family's land was divided into four parts, one for the two elderly people and one for each of the other families.
Zhao Yongqiang must pay eight hundred taels of silver in compensation, no less."
Li Cuihong got anxious and stood up. "Eighty taels."
Without waiting for Li Cuihong to speak again, several people began to whisper again. Finally, after a whole night of negotiations, Qian Chunhua and Zhao Daqing's family reached an agreement.
The eldest brother's family compensated Qian Chunhua with four taels of silver.
Qian Chunhua gave the old man two hundred taels of silver as pension in one lump sum. The west wing was not given to Qian Chunhua, and was separated by a wall.
The well in the backyard is used for growing vegetables. There are just three ridges in the backyard. The ridge facing the west wing belongs to Qian Chunhua.
