Xiao Jingchuan and his wife smiled at each other, his eyes filled with anticipation for their future life.

With several respected elders and Deng Chengen as witnesses, Granny Yang officially divided the family property.
Although there were some setbacks along the way, it went relatively smoothly overall.
Shen Yunsheng and his wife got their wish and acquired five acres of land in Baihua Mountain. The second wife got fertile fields and vegetable gardens. The sorghum from the mountain land went to the eldest wife, while the rice from the fields went to the second wife.
As for the houses, they were divided fairly: the east wing went to the eldest son's wife, the west wing to the second son's wife, and the main house to Granny Yang.
