Chapter 17 The Final Separation

After hearing how the money was divided, Li Jiren and Wu couldn't hold back the expressions on their faces, and they gritted their teeth in dissatisfaction.

They were supposed to get 70%. If they want to build a new house for the second bedroom, they can divide it equally. But this is fine. They get 12 percent of the second bedroom, but only give them six and a half percent. What’s the point?

What can you do with six ounces of money?

And what's the point of sharing the food equally? If you don’t give a share to Rong Song, your father is so biased!

At this moment, Father Li saw the ugly expressions of his son and daughter-in-law, and he couldn't help but become sad.

What? Does the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law think they have suffered a big loss?

But why don’t you think about it, even though you lost a few ounces of silver, this ancestral house was originally a brick house that cost more than ten ounces of silver to build!
He gave the second son and the others twelve pieces of money, but if you think about it carefully, if you buy a homestead or build a house, you won't be able to build a house like the ancestral home, and there won't be anything left with the money.

After all, where did the eldest son suffer again?
Father Li felt quite unhappy. Who in this life would live without being wronged? Speaking of which, he still felt aggrieved.

People say that raising a son will protect you from old age, but he raised a son, but it turned out that he raised a creditor.

Does he deserve a son? You have worked hard all your life to give your son land, a house, and money. It makes no sense to complain!

Who should he go to to argue that this is unfair?

Seeing the fourth daughter-in-law speak loudly, his heart skipped a beat and his tone became worse, "What's wrong? What's wrong with the money?"

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mrs. Huang, which meant: You have to face me, it’s all for our own good!

Then he said to Father Li: "Dad, it's true that we still have fifty-one and a half cents of silver left. It's true that we will build a house and give us twelve cents of silver. But you keep forgetting that the marriage of the female here has to be settled." Right? When Rong Song marries his wife, the betrothal gift and wedding expenses are all spent. In addition to the wedding banquet, Brother Bo also has to spend all the expenses. The total of these two rooms is almost the same, fifteen ounces of silver. It must be indispensable, but our remaining son has not even said we are married. What is the use of this flower? Dad, do you think it is?"

When Mrs. Huang heard that her sister-in-law was going to make a fuss about it, her thoughts moved and she immediately agreed: "Yes, dad, one yard belongs to another yard. This money belongs to the public, so it cannot be counted!"

Father Li was so angry that he immediately glared at Li Jigui and Li Jifu.

Li Jigui shrunk his neck and lowered his head, not responding to his father's look. He was joking, he was not a fool, the family was divided, two more ounces of silver would be two ounces, and how many short-term jobs would be lost?

Li Jifu buzzed his mouth, then lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing his son like this, Father Li sighed angrily, suppressed his anger, and said immediately: "Forget it! Divide! Jiren and Rongsong divide the thirteen hangings, and then take out the nine hangings, and you three will take three hangings each!" Is this okay? Who has any other opinions? "

Father Li got angry. Although Mr. Jiang and Ms. Huang were frightened, it didn't matter if they could share more money and get glared at.

Jiang was thick-skinned and quickly answered, "Also, dad, what are your plans for that loom?"

Father Li was breathing heavily and was obviously very angry. However, this loom was also a household item, so he didn't think of this at first. He only thought that his wife would use the loom - but they followed the boss. It would be impossible to keep this loom in the hands of my old wife.

Even if it’s divided, it’s not bad at all.

After he figured it out, he said matter-of-factly: "Just like the articles of association between your uncle and I before we separated, whoever wants this loom will get less money. You can discuss it among yourselves!"

Jiang and Huang both know how to weave, and indeed they both want this loom. Weaving has been their main source of income since the split! But there is only one loom, for whom?

Li Jiren and Wu were so angry that they were shaking all over. They had two slings of money, what could they do! Do you need them to borrow money to hold a banquet?
My mind was filled with my father's favoritism, so I couldn't care about the loom. Besides, Wu didn't know how to weave, so she never thought about fighting for this loom.

Therefore, the Jiang family and the Huang family, who had not competed for a long time, were now competing again. Neither of them was willing to give in to the other. In the end, they were in a stalemate. Father Li said, draw lots, and whoever catches it will get it.

Then, Mr. Jiang caught the loom and was extremely proud.

A loom costs fifteen slings, but this is the price of a new loom. This loom has been used for several years. If you discount the price, it is calculated as 12 slings and divided into five equal parts. One portion should be two slings and four slings. Money, therefore, Jiang and Li Jigui had to give nine ounces of silver to others.

"We will get eight out of the fifteen ounces of silver to be divided. Seven ounces of silver is enough for us to build a house. The remaining 100 cents are 6 cents. If we can get 5 cents per ounce from selling pigs at the end of the year, we won't divide it. Just cut off a few kilograms of meat and it will be enough!" Mr. Jiang's mind was spinning rapidly and he was chirping.

After hearing her plan, Father Li looked at the other three households and let them see his share of the money.

Then there was another round of wrangling. The first and third bedrooms all got cash, and the second bedroom got eight yuan in cash. The remaining six yuan was waiting for the pigs sold during the New Year to get the fourth bedroom's share and a few kilograms of meat. .

After this noisy incident, Father Li felt extremely uncomfortable. Even Li Yishan, who had witnessed the whole process, sighed. His sons are not as good as his sons, and his daughter-in-law is not as good as his daughter-in-law!

Looking at it this way, only the second child and his wife are good, honest and loyal, and they won't say anything even if they suffer a loss!
Since then, the family has finally been completely divided.

However, the remaining three rooms still need to be bought and built on land. Since a few years ago, I still have to live in the ancestral home.

Father Li felt very unhappy about the division of the family. He followed his eldest brother and took several of his sons to the patriarch's house, divided the property and money in detail, wrote the documents for the division of the family, and everyone had their fingerprints stamped. When he returned home, he called Several sons came to him, and they looked as if they had aged several years.

"Second, third, fourth, I will distribute the money to you first. Taking advantage of the current slack farming period, everyone in the clan is free to hurry up and build the house. Otherwise, we will have to wait another year until the spring farming season begins. ”

Li Ji and his three brothers hurriedly responded and took their share of the money from Old Yuan.

When Father Li saw that his sons had received the money, he continued: "Earlier when our house was under construction, you were all grown up, especially the second son, who ran errands with you. You already know what to buy. You don't need to teach me." .

If there's anything you don't understand about the third and fourth brothers, follow your second brother and run around more. You should be more diligent in building your own house.

Building a house is a lot of work, so don't bother the big guys. Boss, please help the younger brothers to build the houses as soon as possible.

Now that Dad is getting older, he can no longer run in and out, so he can only keep an eye on you at home and give you some eye contact. "

Seeing that their father, who had slightly red eyes and had always refused to admit defeat, now showed his old age in front of her, the four Li brothers felt quite uncomfortable.

Especially the second eldest child, Li Jihe, who was already filial. He was a little anxious because of the separation of the family, but now he finally settled down. Thinking that he could not let his father worry, he quickly replied: "Hey! Don't worry, my son." I must be serious about building the house as soon as possible."

Li Jifu and Li Jigui immediately agreed.

Li Jiren listened to his father asking him to help his brothers more, and felt uncomfortable because of the family separation. But looking at his father like this, thinking about the scene of him being held in his arms when he was a child, now and then The slight dissatisfaction temporarily retreated, and he nodded.

Seeing the four brothers behave like this, Father Li finally felt happy.
