Two-quarters of an hour later, the family arrived at the old house, and it was Lu Shoucheng's daughter-in-law Jiang Xiuqin who opened the door for them.
"Third sister-in-law and her family are here."
Yun Cuihe walked in with a smile.
"How are the four younger siblings doing these days?"
Jiang Xiuqin smiled: "What's good? Just live like that."
At this moment, everyone in the second and fourth bedrooms of the big house, including children and grandchildren, were already standing in the yard.
Seeing Yun Cuihe who had arrived late, Zhao Xiuqin rolled her eyes and started to make sarcastic remarks.
"The third younger brother and sister are really important people. They have been asking parents to wait for a long time. They thought you wouldn't come."
Because he knew her character and knew that she must be unhappy when her parents-in-law called them here today, Yun Cuihe did not get to know her.
"Second sister-in-law is serious. I'm not in good health and can't walk very fast. I've kept my parents waiting for a long time."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Tiesheng and Wang Xuelan with apologetic eyes.
Chu Yue bit her lip.
In fact, they didn't have to be so slow. They deliberately slowed down because they considered her foot injury. However, the mother who was involved was arranged by the second aunt.
She wanted to step forward to speak, but Lu Xinghe grabbed her arm, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Grandpa will take care of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tiesheng waved his hand.
"It's okay. You're not in good health, so it's best to take your time." He then looked at Zhao Guiqin and said, "Second daughter-in-law, if you want to separate the family smoothly today, you should say less."
Zhao Guiqin was stupefied by her father-in-law's words and couldn't help but secretly curse the old man for being partial. However, no matter how unpleasant this would be, in order to successfully separate the family, she could only suppress her resentment.
On the other hand, Lu Laicai was glared at by her several times.
Lu Laicai touched the back of his head with an innocent look on his face, thinking that this woman was talking about what she was talking about and her dad told her, what does it have to do with him? Why are you staring at him instead?
Wang Xuelan looked at Lu Xinghe.
"Xinghe, go to the house and bring a chair for your mother."
"good."
Lu Xinghe nodded and went into the room. After a while, two chairs were brought, one for Yun Cuihe and the other for Chu Yue.
This little girl's foot injury has not yet healed. She walked such a long way just now, and she still refuses to carry it. She doesn't know if her foot will hurt after she returns.
Because of this move, among all the grandchildren present, only Chu Yue sat down. The rest, even those holding children in their arms, stood there in a dignified manner.
The little wives looked at the man beside them one after another, and then at Lu Xinghe not far away. Comparing this, they suddenly felt that their men were not pleasing to the eye no matter what.
Look at Lu Xinghe, not only is he good-looking, he can also read and write, and he also feels sorry for his wife.
They are also the grandsons of the old Lu family, how come the gap is so big?
Some angry little wives even push their children into men's hands to make themselves feel at ease.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt, who originally wanted to say bitter words, kept their mouths shut in order to separate the family smoothly, but when they heard the grandson behind them whining and rebelling in the hands of their sons, they frowned so much that they could kill a mosquito. .
Tian Chunyan looked back and said angrily: "Can you please be quiet! Do you still want to separate the family?"
It's a good thing she didn't scream.
As soon as he screamed, the little ancestor in the hands of his sons was frightened and cried even louder.
Zhao Guiqin glanced at Tian Chunyan: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing when you're fine? My dear grandson was even scared to tears by you. I don't know how rough my voice is?"
She had endured Tian Chunyan for so many years, and finally wanted to separate the family, and she didn't want to endure it anymore.
Not to be outdone, Tian Chunyan pinched her waist and replied: "You damn bitch, what are you yelling at me for? This is how I talk. It's not the first day you've known about it. You're afraid that I'll scare your dear grandson. You let me The son and daughter-in-law can just hold the child as far away as possible."
Lu Tiesheng frowned and banged the cigarette pole on the stone.
"It's noisy every day, it's noisy every day, it's not enough? Can't we just calm down?" He said, pointing at Jiang Xiuqin and Yun Cuihe, "Look, we are also mothers, so we can't learn from each other. Your two younger siblings?"
Tian Chunyan was angry, hugged her arms and leaned back on the chair, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
"Anyway, Dad is partial. Naturally, Yun and Jiang are both pleased with each other no matter what. Unlike the two of us, no matter what we do, we don't like Dad. It's all a mistake after all. It depends on whether we learn or not."
On this point, Zhao Guiqin agreed with Tian Chunyan.
"That's right, dad's partiality is almost written on his face."
"You..." Lu Tiesheng said halfway and sighed deeply, "It doesn't matter, we all have our own minds after all. If you say that I am partial to the old man, then go ahead and separate the family. After we are separated, you move in quickly. Let’s go, I won’t make you feel upset just looking at me.”
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Xiuqin and Yun Cuihe didn't speak, and the juniors didn't even have the chance to speak.
Chu Yue was sitting in the corner and when she saw Lu Tiesheng winking at Wang Xuelan, Wang Xuelan took out a purse from the room.
Seeing the purse, everyone sat up straight.
"Here are sixty taels of silver. Your mother and I are getting older and won't be able to make much money in the future, so we kept some for ourselves. The rest will be divided among your families, fifteen taels for each household. Do you have any opinions?"
Each family has the same number. The daughters-in-law have no objection to this. The daughters-in-law have no objection, and the sons naturally have no objection either.
"Dad, we have no objection."
Lu Tiesheng nodded and motioned to Wang Xuelan to divide the money.
In front of everyone, the money was divided clearly, fifteen taels per household.
Yun Cuihe held the heavy fifteen taels of silver in her hand, feeling a little excited. With this money, her family's life would be easier.
“Next comes the fields and mountains.”
Lu Tiesheng took two puffs of dry cigarette and continued: "Our family's farmland consists of six acres of top-grade farmland, twelve acres of medium-grade farmland, and a mountain of more than twenty acres."
"Our family has been hard-working over the years, and the middle-level fields we cultivated are not much different from the upper-level fields. What your mother and I want is to leave two acres of the upper-level fields closer to the village entrance, so that we, the old couple, can make a living. To eat, as for the four acres of fine farmland further away, one family will be divided, the other twelve acres of medium paddy fields will be divided equally between two families, and the more than twenty acres of mountainous land will be divided into one family."
The voice of Tian Chunyan, the eldest daughter-in-law, sounded at the right time.
"Dad, there are many trees planted on that mountain. Our family originally planted those trees together. What do you plan to do with them?"
Lu Tiesheng took a puff of dry cigarette, and there was a void in his eyes for a moment.
"I went to count the trees a few days ago. There are about 150 trees there. It will take another two or three years to grow them and they will be ready to be sold. Whoever owns the forest will own the trees. "
