Eldest Brother Han couldn’t bear it and said, “Mother, don’t get worked up.”
Old Lady Han said angrily, “Why should I get worked up? Leave then, it’s better for me to have peace and quiet as well. If you want to divide the family, divide them all. The house must be vacated for me or you must give me money for a house rent.”
After all, the Third Family built their own, so the Second Family shouldn’t demand a house from them either.
Second Brother Han and the Second Sister-in-law Han immediately became shrewd. She poked at her man and Second Brother Han said, “If that is the case, we must get some money for the separation. Back then, Old Three got 100 Yuan, didn’t he, Uncle Secretary Head?”
Han Yongfang naturally knew this.
Old Man Han said, “We gave money to the Third Family because all of our expenses were earned by him. Even if we gave him the sum, it was natural.”
“What do you mean it was natural? Since they hadn’t separated back then, it should have been counted as the family’s money. We worked hard to take care of you two, so there should be our share of money here as well.”
Old Lady Han was trembling with anger and was going to raise her walking cane to hit Second Brother Han.
Han Yongfang, “Stop fidgeting around.”
In such a cramped space, they couldn’t even spread their elbows apart and yet, she wanted to hit someone.
Old Lady Han could only snort, “If you want money, I have none.”
Han Yongfang looked at Old Man Han and said, “You got some money from New Year’s, so we’ll split that amount into three portions.”
“Uncle, why are there only three? I’m still here, aren’t I?” Han Jinyu rushed in from the side room. Although she wasn’t needed in the meeting, she kept listening with her ears perked up.
Second Sister-in-law Han immediately pushed back, “You haven’t earned a penny and your rations are divided evenly between our work. Plus, the money you owed to the Third Family was paid for you with my father-in-law’s money,” She hummed. She snorted and muttered again, “Merely a burden and you still want money.”
Han Jinyu was about to start crying as soon as she stamped her feet.
Except for Old Man Han and Old Lady Han, no one else present cared about whether she was crying or not. Instead, they all looked impatient.
It was especially true for Han Qingsong. Although he didn’t say anything, compared with Lin Lan and Maisui, in his eyes, Han Jinyu was really a useless woman who couldn’t do a lot of things.
When he and Lin Lan were not at home, Maisui and Erwang could clean up the house neatly. Han Jinyu, on the other hand, couldn’t even make a decent meal.
Just because he never commented about it didn’t mean that he never saw it.
Han Jinyu sat next to Old Lady Han aggrievedly.
Old Lady Han hugged her sweetheart and said, “Let’s get on the kang instead of being left here to freeze.”
Finally, Old Man Han asked the old lady if she still had less than 200 Yuan at home.
Second Brother Han asked for a hundred yuan, “We don’t want much, but the division of the family must be fair. We also ask for 100 since that was what the Third Family got.”
