Zhao Yongwen doesn't care whether he is at home or not. He is not at home most of the time now, and it doesn't seem to make any difference whether he is at home or not.
Zhao Yongqiang looked at the third brother's back, his mind racing. It looked like the third brother's family was willing to reunite.
Zhao Yongqiang secretly glanced at his old father and the third son's wife. This time, the destruction of the family was probably inevitable. He wondered what he should do to gain the most benefit.
Just when Zhao Yongqiang was daydreaming, Zhao Daqing winked at his mother, who nodded in understanding and went back to the main house.
In the afternoon, Zhao Daqing told his mother about his idea. His mother agreed that he should start a business with the eldest brother's family.
Zhao's mother saw everything that happened that day and kept it in mind. She wanted to live with her eldest son in his old age, so that he would not die without knowing how in the end.
Zhao's mother took out a box made of rosewood from the main house and handed it to Zhao Daqing.
When Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong saw the box, their eyes lit up. They knew that all the money they had saved was in this box.
Zhao Daqing placed his hands on the box, remaining silent. He was waiting for the patriarch to arrive.
After a long time, the head of the Zhao family appeared in front of the courtyard gate. Zhao Daqing stood up and prepared to greet him, and Zhao's mother quickly reached out to support him.
Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong were unwilling to be left behind, and they trotted over to the head of the Zhao family, "Second uncle is here, please come in."
After saying this, the couple both stretched out their hands flatteringly to help the head of the Zhao family.
Patriarch Zhao was shocked. It was the first time he saw Zhao Yongqiang and his wife in this state. He was so scared that he took a step back and avoided the hands of Zhao Yongqiang and his wife.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Patriarch Zhao had no feelings for Zhao Yongqiang and his wife, and now he would avoid them if he could.
Zhao Daqing greeted the Zhao clan leader and walked into the main hall and sat down.
Patriarch Zhao looked at Zhao Daqing's face under the dim oil lamp. He was frightened when he fainted in the afternoon. Although he didn't like his nephew, he didn't want to see him die of anger because of this.
"How is your health?" Patriarch Zhao asked concernedly.
Zhao Daqing smiled bitterly, "That's it. I've seen a doctor and taken medicine."
Patriarch Zhao nodded and said, "Just take the medicine and you're done." People in the countryside don't have so many requirements. If you can see a doctor and get the right medicine when you're sick, it means your family is very well-off. Most people just endure the illness.
After the greetings, get down to business.
Zhao Daqing: "Second uncle, this time I asked you to come here to help preside over our family affairs."
"The Yu family?" Patriarch Zhao was a little confused.
Zhao Daqing: "Last time it was the second son's wife who separated us, but the eldest and third sons did not separate."
After Zhao Daqing finished his explanation, Chief Zhao finally understood. What happened on that day was a big blow to Zhao Daqing, and it seemed that he had made up his mind.
Patriarch Zhao nodded, looked at the Zhao family members in the room, and said, "Okay, I'll be a witness."
Zhao Daqing told him the plan he had considered in the afternoon: leaving aside the second brother's family, all their family assets were now divided into three parts.
My wife counts as one share, the eldest brother Zhao Yongqiang's family counts as one share, and the third brother Zhao Yongwen's family counts as one share.
The remaining silver and house were divided into three parts, and each person took one part.
For example, the west wing where Zhao Yongqiang's family lived was given to the eldest wife's family, and the main house was temporarily occupied by the old couple. After a hundred years, the main house was left to the third wife's family.
The remaining food in the house was divided into three portions of each kind, and each family took one portion.
