Chapter 955: Family Division (1)
When I think about how I have money and don’t have to worry about my son, I can do whatever I want… I don’t have to listen to my wife complaining about my son and daughter-in-law all day long…
This day...
Divide! Must divide! What is there to hesitate about!
The older generation in the village would definitely not listen to what others say, but Ji Xiaomu's words touched their hearts. They knew they could still work and it would not be a problem to work for another ten years. After the family was divided, they could also earn some money on their own.
Every son will experience the experience of forgetting his mother after getting married. If he listens to his mother, he will offend his daughter-in-law; if he listens to his daughter-in-law, he will offend his mother, and he will not be able to please either side.
Few men are good at sweet-talking, so they are simply unable to do a good job of mediation. Most of the men in the family do not care about the affairs and follow the old man like a piece of wood. Therefore, the women in the family have to solve their own problems. Even if the wife is angry, she will just cry and complain and can only swallow her grievances.
This time, Ji Xiaomu explained that all the married women in the village had their crops distributed. Now, as long as every household was willing to work hard, they would have enough money. They could sell the potatoes they grew to Ji Xiaomu, which made money and was not tiring. It was not like the grain they grew in the past, which they had to work hard for a year, but after paying the tax, they could only have enough to eat and did not make any money.
Therefore, when the family is divided now, the parents are generous and those who have housing plots have contributed money to build a house. Although the son is reluctant, he cannot help but make his wife happy as he can live in a new house and has money and land in his hands, so he can be the master of the household.
The daughters-in-law from the village all regarded Ji Xiaou as their benefactor, and the village became famous because of this. Girls from other villages were eager to marry into the village, because once they got married, they could divide the family and be the head of the household. Which daughter-in-law would not be envious?
There are fewer quarrels at home, and every household is much more harmonious. After the separation, we greet each other with smiles when we meet again. There is no more quarrel over an egg as before. Besides, now that I am the head of the family, I know it is not easy, so I am more generous to my parents-in-law and I will bring some gifts to them even when I go to visit them.
After experiencing the benefits of dividing the family, Ji Xiaou's status in the village was greatly elevated. Whatever Ji Xiaou said was spread by everyone, and it was always right to listen to Ji Xiaou.
Brothers Wu Gang and Wu Lei also obtained the homestead of Aunt Wu and Grandpa Wu, and heard the rumors in the village. Wu Gang knelt in front of Aunt Wu with red eyes.
Aunt Wu patted her son. "A son is not under the control of his mother. I didn't think this before, but now I think it is true! If you really want to marry her, then marry her! You two can live together in the future and come to visit your father and mother once in a while!"
"Mom! I'll just live at home!" Wu Lei said to Aunt Wu. Mother didn't like the woman his elder brother wanted to marry, and he didn't like her either, but if he was going to marry, he would definitely marry someone his mother liked.
"Why are you living at home? Your father and I are living a happy life!" Aunt Wu kowtowed directly. She had seen the happy life of the village head's sister-in-law and had already planned what to do with the old man. She would not let her son keep her even if he wanted to!
"...Mom, you have changed! I am no longer your most beloved son." Wu Lei said unhappily.
"You are not like that in the first place. Will you quarrel with me when you get a wife in the future? Just like your father said, you can choose your own wives in the future. If both parties are willing to live a good life, I will divide the family property between you and you! You can live a good life! I will not be that wicked mother-in-law. Your father and I will live happily together!" Aunt Wu's words also reflected Uncle Wu's opinion, and she nodded in agreement.
