Chapter 51 The delicious food
Liu Sanjin looked around at her sons and daughters-in-law with a pale face. She was trembling slightly and felt a little weak in her heart. Her family had saved some money over the years. Even though her son Lu Zhenping sent her an allowance every month, she still lived a tight life. The reason was simple: her parents' family had a hard time and often needed her help.
"Jiahe, look at how many branches there are in the village. Your eldest brother has listened to that bitch's pillow talk and wants to break up our family. He even threatens mother with your brother's future. I feel so miserable. Why are you still so ignorant at this time?"
In the past, Lu Jiahe would soften his heart when he heard her say this, but not today. He remained firm in his attitude.
"Mom, if you don't want to divide the family, then don't do it. You are the mother-in-law, Shen Meng doesn't dare to say anything to you. Even if she makes a fuss, it will only be her reputation that will be damaged. It's not bad for me to be the warehouse manager of the production team, isn't it?"
Liu Sanjin's heart sank when she heard what he said. She glanced at the gate silently and said, "Old man, when can you come back? I am almost killed by these children. My life is so miserable that no one listens to my cries."
"Okay, okay, I'll give it all to you. Fourth brother, go call the elders of our Lu family, as well as the village chief and the party secretary, as well as your eldest sister-in-law and Mingyang. Call them all over and divide the family property. Divide it all. Second brother, I'll give it to you. If the eldest brother's wife wants a private plot of land, I won't be able to make the decision."
Lu Jiahe frowned and did not refute his mother, but he was thinking about getting the private land into his own hands.
Wu Xianglan was secretly delighted, as she had never expected that she would be able to benefit from the division of the eldest branch of the family. When she looked at Lu Jiahe, she winked at him, tilted her head, stretched out her neck, and reached out to hug her two children to her, with an expression on her face that could not be concealed.
Xie Jinghao, who was leaning on the window in the other room, couldn't help but curl her lips. Why was her second brother so anxious to ask for money and things? It was because the guy outside was making a big fuss. Otherwise, he could have used the child's name to get benefits from her mother. She used to think that her second sister-in-law was smart, but she didn't expect that she was also blind.
When Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa came over, all the people from the Lu family had arrived, except Chen Zhaodi who was sitting aside with her head down.
When Shen Meng brought several children to the Lu family, she heard that the family was going to be divided. It was only after Lu Zhenping sent a letter to the family, explaining the situation, that the family was divided, and specifically asked Lu Mingyang, the eldest son, to help him deal with it.
Although he is only nine years old, Lu Mingyang, who has been entrusted with an important task, is sitting upright in front of Shen Meng, his little body straight and his face serious.
"Don't be afraid, mom is here, relax."
Not only him, but also the other three idiots standing behind the two men also had serious expressions on their faces. If you didn't know better, you would think they were here to fight.
Shen Meng sat steadily. Although she had never met Lu Zhenping, for some reason, she inexplicably felt that she had a man supporting her.
"I invited everyone to come here today because the eldest son sent a letter saying that he wants to divide the first house. He is the eldest son, the eldest son of our family. As a mother, I have to listen to him. How do you think you want to divide it, eldest son's wife?"
Shen Meng waved her hand.
"Hey, mother, what are you talking about? I just found out that Zhenping wants to divide the family. I guess he knows that I and the children are always bullied. But he also said that the family division should be decided by Mingyang. What our eldest son meant just now is to follow the rules and divide it as it should be. As a woman, I won't say much."
Liu Sanjin looked at her and kicked the topic back to himself. He pursed his lips and swallowed the anger stuck in his heart. "Then let's follow the rules. The family has saved some money over the years. I have dug it out with my fingers and teeth. It's not much in total, just 325 yuan. This is the family's assets. My old man and I need to support our retirement, so we need 50 yuan. The rest will be divided according to the rooms. The first room will get 68 yuan, and the other three rooms will not be divided. But in front of everyone, I will take out a part and give 5 yuan to each of the three rooms. I will save the rest and give it to them when they want to divide the family in the future. Some of the grain has been distributed last time, but considering that Zhenping is outside, I, an old woman, will make the decision and give them 100 kilograms of corn. Later, the eldest wife will have someone carry it back home. That's it."
Shen Meng raised her eyebrows. This old woman was indeed a person who cared a lot about her reputation. She wanted everyone to see her good qualities after the division of the family property. It had come to this point. If she asked for more things, it would be a bit too much.
She coughed lightly, and Lu Mingyang beside her spoke immediately.
"Grandma, we'll divide it according to your instructions. You're the fairest. But, grandma, have you forgotten that we have our own private plot? Our private plot hasn't been divided for us yet!"
"What are you talking about, you little bastard? You have so much and you are still not satisfied. Why are you so greedy? Your father is a soldier outside and your mother is lazy. Your mother doesn't farm well, so why do you need a private plot of land? Give it to your second uncle. He will farm and share the food with you later, okay?"
"No, second uncle, that's ours, and we still need to grow vegetables!" Lu Mingliang stuck his head out from behind Lu Mingyang and said this, then retracted his head.
Lu Jiahe's face turned slightly cold, but Lu Mingyang was not afraid at all. He had watched his face since he was a child, so he would not be afraid if he was scared.
"His second uncle, stop scolding the child like a little bastard. If you scold me again, I will throw a tantrum." Shen Meng picked at his fingernails and glared at Lu Jiahe.
With his mother's support, Lu Mingyang raised his chin slightly.
When Zhang Hongfa came, he was warned by his family. Naturally, he sided with Lu Zhenping's side. Besides, it was he who wanted to divide the family. If the division was not clear, he would be embarrassed to ask him to do anything when he came back.
"Aunt Liu, Jiahe, Jiaxuan, if the private plot is not divided, what kind of division is this? What do we farmers value most? Isn't it the farmland? Zhenping's family is special. The production team gave him five mu of private plot. Whether to grow vegetables or grain is up to them. If the private plot is not divided, Zhenping will write to me later. What will we say then? Jiahe, go and tell your eldest brother, is it because you want it that you don't want to divide the private plot?"
Zhang Hongfa pointed it out directly, causing Lu Jiahe's face to turn red.
After dividing the food, money and private plots, Shen Meng returned home happily. All her fatigue instantly disappeared. She cooked a pot of shredded pork noodles and heated up the braised pork and shredded potatoes.
Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang brought some hot noodles and two buns to Xie Jinghao's house before dark. The fragrance wafted through the Lu family's courtyard. Liu Sanjin was so angry that he didn't eat at night. When he smelled the fragrance, his stomach growled with hunger. He thought Xie Jinghao would bring some to him.
I didn't expect that shameless thing would just close the door and take his son to eat it, and it tasted delicious.
