The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 15 Making a Decision

Father Li made the decision to separate the family. During the two days he spent in bed to recuperate, he carefully sorted out all the matters related to the separation.

Make it clear and clear.

But in the end, he had a little thought in his mind. He thought about it over and over again, but he still wanted to mention it.

Therefore, that evening, Li Jiren and Wu entered the main room nervously.

Since the death of Father Li, the Li family has been silent in the past few days, and everyone is thinking about it. Unfortunately, Father Li just doesn't see his children and grandchildren, not any of them, and their hearts are even more messed up. .

Suddenly, they were let in, and Li Jiren and his wife were very upset.

After entering the house, Li Jiren first looked at Father Li's face. Seeing that his face was fine, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly knelt down and said, "Dad, are you okay? It's because the sons are unfilial."

"Get up, sit down and talk." Dad Li said.

Li Jiren and his wife looked at each other, stood up, and sat down on a stool nearby.

Father Li glanced at his eldest son. This was his and his wife's first child. People said that you don't care for children when you care about grandchildren. But at that time, he became a father for the first time. He was overjoyed and hugged him frequently. This son,

It can be said that he has high hopes for this eldest son and he truly loves him.

As the eldest son grew older and his temper showed, he was slightly disappointed because the eldest son was not like him.

He has a dull temperament and doesn't like to talk. Generally, he won't take the initiative to speak unless asked.

But fortunately, he works hard and is a person who can endure hardships, which is a good thing for him.

According to the current rules, the eldest son provides for the elderly, and the eldest son has a grandson. From now on, he and his wife will have to rely on the eldest son. Therefore, Father Li knew that what he wanted to mention was inappropriate, and he was afraid that the eldest son would be dissatisfied, so he spoke softly. got up.

"Boss, when I separated from your uncle, you were the governor and saw it with your own eyes. Originally, your uncle should have received 70% of the family separation, and your cousin and I shared the remaining 30%, but your uncle loved me. Younger brother, if you weren't afraid of breaking the rules in the clan, you originally wanted to share the family property equally with me. Later, even though we didn't share it equally, he gave up 10%. From this, your eldest cousin and I share 40%, each of us 20%. I can get a few more acres of land."

When Li Jiren heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He heard that his father wanted to separate the family. He should have been happy, but when his father suddenly said this, he had to think more about it.

Dad, what does this mean?
Do you want him to learn from his uncle, be friendly to his younger brother, and share less of the family property?

Li Jiren pursed his lips and did not interrupt.

Sure enough, he heard his father continue: "Jiren, as the saying goes, the eldest brother is like the father. You are the eldest brother, and you should be friendly to the younger brothers. Therefore, I want to ask you, if the family is separated, can you follow Like your uncle, give up 10%? The remaining 40% will be shared equally between your three younger brothers and Rong Song. In fact, the eldest brother also gets 70%."

This is something that Mr. Li came up with after much thought. If he could get an extra 10%, his three sons would be able to get an extra acre of land. With an extra acre of land, they could harvest two more dan of grain.

A parent who loves his son has a far-reaching plan. He can't think of anything better, and even if it's possible, he still wants to fight for his son.

When Wu understood what her father-in-law said, her breathing tightened. If she hadn't been able to speak rashly, she would have choked.

Why? Why should they give in 10%?
The eldest uncle and his father-in-law have a good relationship. They are just two brothers. They are willing to give 10% to the younger brother. That is the eldest uncle!
My father-in-law has always respected him as an older brother!

But where are the brothers-in-law? Not to mention the second uncle, but the third and fourth uncles, how can they be worthy of their friendship?
My man has a big bruise on his waist, and that was kicked by his third uncle!
Li Jiren's mouth also pursed tighter, thinning into a line, as if it was connected to his face.

He also had ten thousand reluctances in his heart. Once he achieved it, he would get three acres of land. According to the calculation of ten taels of silver per acre of paddy field, these three acres of land would cost thirty taels of silver. This is what he deserves. Why should he? How many brothers should you share among them?
Dad is too partial!

Li Jiren's heart was full of his father's favoritism, so he felt even more uncomfortable. His parents obviously wanted him to support him in his old age, but they still favored his younger brothers.

He had a dull face and answered angrily: "No." Father Li's mind buzzed, and he almost thought he heard wrongly.

But he could hear the two words clearly spoken by the eldest son, so how could he be wrong?
The eldest son doesn’t want to.

He sighed quietly, well, not all eldest brothers are like his eldest brother.

Father Li felt a little disappointed and a little sad.

But he understood better that if the eldest son was unwilling to give up 10%, he could not force it.

That's all, he just waved his hands and let the couple go out.

Only Mr. Li and Mr. Yuan were left in the room, and there was silence for a while.

After a while, I heard Father Li let out a long sigh, "Take a look at all the money and food at home, and ask your eldest brother to be a witness tomorrow. Let's split up the family."

Old Yuan nodded in agreement, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but ask: "Can we just follow the boss?"

Hearing this, Father Li couldn't help but glance at her, "How about we separate the family and give 70% to the eldest son? If we don't live with the eldest son, who else can we live with?"

If he bypasses the eldest son and distributes 70% of the family property to another son to live with this son, the clan will not agree.

Furthermore, that was his eldest son, and there was also an eldest grandson. He would definitely have to live with his eldest son.

Old Yuan shut up and said no more.

But if she wants to tell her true feelings, both the eldest and the second child are quiet and work hard, but one talks less and thinks more, while the other is naive in appearance and heart. In comparison, she prefers the second child. Honest and loyal.

And compared to the eldest daughter-in-law Wu, who is good at talking, doing things and pleasing people, she also prefers the second daughter-in-law who is honest and has no ill intentions.

People say that having more children means you will be blessed, but old Yuan often came up with the idea that having many sons is really a blessing.

It would be great if she only had one son, a whole family, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, and could live together with Meimei without having to separate.

Old Yuan felt a little sad in her heart, but she quickly put these thoughts aside, took the key, opened the box, picked out the money inside, and counted it again.

In these years, the harvest from the fields was enough to make a living, and it was impossible to save money. What could be saved was the money earned by the boss from second-hand crafts, the income from the family's weaving, and the money earned from part-time work in his spare time.

It is useful to earn money. Fortunately, only the eldest grandson and the second grandson are spending money on their marriages. The remaining grandchildren are not yet old enough. In this way, not much money is used in this area. , and now I still have fifty-one and a half in my hand.

As an old couple, they have no land left, so they should keep some of this money in their hands.

Let's keep two and a half pieces. The remaining forty-nine pieces will be divided equally among the four sons and the eldest grandson. Each of them can still get ten pieces.

But the eldest son can share the ancestral home, and the other three sons have to buy homesteads and build new houses. This all needs to be calculated separately.

Old Yuan was thinking about it and couldn't help but ask his wife about the regulations in this regard.

Father Li had already thought about this, and now he started chatting with his wife.

The old couple kept talking until late at night, and then they stopped.
