Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Division of the Family (2)_1 Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Division of the Family (2)_1 Li Feng’e couldn’t hold back and started to make a scene as well, “Still drinking goat’s milk?
When I gave birth to two boys at once, I never said anything about raising a nanny goat to feed them goat’s milk!
Your useless mother, destined in this lifetime to only give birth to money-losing goods, and those money-losing goods still want to drink goat’s milk?
“Dad, the three girls from Second Brother’s family are here to collect debts from our Old Lin family, and this Little Disaster Star too, hurry up and kick her out.
With her around, our family is sure to not have any good fortune!” Lin Jiaxiao saw Lin Yuan’s audacious behavior and became furious.
A family without someone to do work and earn money, yet they think they can take advantage of his home?
“This is for sure something Second Brother put her up to!
Dad, Second Brother is blaming you for not taking care of him, sending his daughter to cause you trouble!”
Lin Jiaxiao’s imagination truly impressed Lin Yuan.
“Dad, let’s divide the household.
Their Second Brother’s household can’t do anything, and they still think about eating free meals and living off us every day, no way, we’re not going to be that easy mark!” Lady Ma sent her daughter back and just entered the house when she heard Lin Yuan’s words.
She opened her mouth and blurted out the idea of dividing the household.
Lin Yuan thought to herself that as soon as Lady Ma returned, she brought up dividing the household, which must have been suggested by her daughter.
She hadn’t realized that Lin Siyu was somewhat smart.
Laosan’s couple heard Boss bring up dividing the household and dared not speak, knowing they would have to endure the Northwest wind every day if they were on their own, as they did no work.
However, if they could just separate Second Brother’s family alone, that would be wonderful!
“Big sister, what are you talking about?
Big Brother hasn’t even mentioned dividing the household, why are you pushing for it?” Lin Jiaxiao chastised in feigned seriousness, then coquettishly turned to Lady Yang, “Mom and Dad, we shouldn’t divide the household.
You both are still alive, to divide now would be unfilial and let outsiders laugh at us.
If we are to divide, we should only divide Second Brother’s household.
After all, they have been living on their own for a long time, and everyone in the village probably already thinks they don’t care about Mom and Dad and have left to live on their own.”
Laosan’s words reminded Lin Jianling of the fact that Second Brother’s family had defied Lady Yang’s words when Little Linshuang was born, insisting on living separately.
After so many years, the villagers had grown accustomed to the reality of Second Brother’s family living apart from them.
So, just separate Second Brother’s family and at worst give them a better piece of land.
Even if they couldn’t farm it themselves, renting it out to others would keep them from starving.
Once troubled, Lin Jianling suddenly saw the light.
However, he wasn’t sure if Second Brother’s family would agree to this arrangement.
Agree, Lin Yuan had long planned for this.
Whether you divide or not, it doesn’t matter to our family, we are definitely going to separate!
“Well, little, little…” Lin Jianling struggled to speak the words “Little Disaster Star,” but they just didn’t come out, and it was as if he couldn’t remember his granddaughter’s name.
Lady Yang, having been with him for so many decades, knew her husband’s thoughts well and quickly whispered in his ear.
Lin Jianling then coughed and said, “Yuanyuan, you know, Grandpa has such a big family to support here.
Taking out so much grain every month is really difficult, and also, we spent quite a bit of silver for your father’s leg treatment.
So, here’s the deal, Grandpa will give your family a piece of land.
You can live separately.
Anyway, your father has been living over there with you for so many years and hasn’t really come back much.
Hearing that the elder planned to give Second Brother’s family a piece of land, Lady Ma and Laosan’s couple were somewhat displeased.
However, upon thinking about getting rid of the burdensome family, they felt it was worth it.
Lady Yang too felt the sting of losing that land, but she abhorred losing her silver even more, so she didn’t say anything.
However, their silence didn’t mean Lin Yuan would agree.
Just divide the household and think to give them just a piece of land?
They were daydreaming.
“Grandpa, although we have been living on our own for so many years, Dad has always paid the monthly silver here, so technically, it has not been a proper separation.
Since we are officially dividing today, let’s do it formally.
Uncle has not come back from town yet, and he should be returning home soon.
We can wait for him.”
Lin Jianling was naturally pleased to hear Lin Yuan agreeing to the division of the household, and indeed, such a significant event should be attended by Boss, the future head of the household, so he too agreed immediately.
However, upon hearing Lin Yuan’s next few sentences, his expression twitched.
“And, you know, dividing the household needs to have a witness.
Sister, go to the village chief’s house and invite Grandpa village chief.
Oh right, since Dad’s leg is bad and he can’t get off the kang, let’s have Grandpa village chief wait at our place.
Our house is in such a mess, hurry back and get your second sister to tidy it up, especially the stuff in the yard, don’t leave it all scattered around.”
Xiao Linshuang was sharp-witted.
Receiving her big sister’s instructions, she crisply agreed and before anyone else could react, she had already run out the door.
Dividing a household was a significant event in the village, and no doubt there would be many spectators later.
She didn’t believe Lin Jianling would dare to repeat the offer of just giving a piece of land in front of all the villagers.
