The Su Family wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves.
Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan went home for their lunch break. The two supported each other and walked slowly. They could still vaguely hear Zhang Qian crying and begging. Su Jiaojiao sighed and said, "Greedy."
Song Qinghan pursed his lips and nodded. He paused for a moment and said softly, "Most people are like this. They don't have the money to be calculative. If you support the separation, the two families will blame you."
He sighed because his previous family was even more torturous than the Su Family's sister-in-law.
Su Jiaojiao grinned and spread out her hands like a hoodlum. "It's okay, let them blame me! I will support my parents in their old age in the future. If they are really so stubborn and unfilial, I don't want such a brother. "
She lived in a different era. The era and living environment created her independence. She had more than one child in her family. Her parents treated each child equally. She was a top student since she was a child. After entering university, she rarely asked her parents for money because the scholarships and prizes from various competitions were enough for her living expenses and tuition fees.
Her ability was not at the top of the school, but it was definitely one of the best.
She always thought that the meaning of parents to their children was simple. They raised them and waited for them to be old.
After her brother gave birth to a child, her sister-in-law wanted to give the child to her parents to raise. However, her parents refused because they also wanted to enjoy the life of old age and did not want to be hindered by a child for the rest of their lives. Because of this, her sister-in-law quarreled with her parents, but her brother stood on their side.
This incident had a great impact on Su Jiaojiao. However, in this era, there was no such advanced thinking. Everyone raised their children after giving birth, raised their grandchildren, and raised their great-grandchildren until they could no longer move.
A lifetime passed like this. People were kidnapped by life. Some people enjoyed it, while others were numb to it.
However, Su Jiaojiao's parents thought more than these people. They could raise a child, but they couldn't raise two sons for a lifetime. They especially couldn't let the other children suffer for the sake of their sons. They had a similar idea as Su Jiaojiao's parents. They had already raised their children, so they could give their money to whoever they wanted.
If they didn't have a daughter, then forget it. However, they had a precious daughter. They definitely couldn't be like other parents and give everything to their two sons. It was fine for them to suffer, but they couldn't let their daughter suffer!
It was also because of Su Jiaojiao's previous family environment that she was not so worried about her original world after coming to this world. She definitely had feelings, but it was not to the point that her parents could not live without her. That was enough.
Su Jiaojiao's carefree attitude surprised Song Qinghan. Looking at Su Jiaojiao's relaxed expression, Song Qinghan narrowed her eyes and relaxed her expression.
He thought too much about it. The Su Clan and his family were not the same.
Perhaps in a fit of pique, Sun Fang really let Su Jiaojiao take away most of the remaining eggs at home when she left.
Anyway, leaving them here would make Zhang Qian and the others feel that they owned them. Giving them to them to eat would make them feel that it was natural. It was better to directly send them away and finally get their daughter's sweet and coquettish behavior.
Su Jiaojiao was also a big-hearted person. She took away the eggs in front of them without the slightest sense of guilt as the culprit who caused the separation of the family.
The two Su brothers and their wives secretly glared at her, wishing they could knock her head.
Su Jiaojiao took these things and returned home with Song Qinghan. After a while, she saw two girls coming together mysteriously with a bit of embarrassment on their faces: "Comrade Su Jiaojiao, I'm Zhou Xing, an educated youth in the brigade. I heard that you have chicken cake here?"
Su Jiaojiao blinked and pretended not to understand: "Yes, do you want it too? But it's all finished. I'm sorry. "
Zhou Xing was a bit regretful, but she was still reluctant to leave. She tentatively asked: "That … I also want some. Will you make more?"
Su Jiaojiao: "Of course, this thing is so delicious."
"Then leave some for me? Can I have three taels? "
"I also want three taels!" The girl who came with Zhou Xing also said in a low voice. Then, she looked around with lingering fear, just like a spy meeting.
Su Jiaojiao laughed: "Don't be so nervous, we're just friends chatting."
"Yes, yes, yes …"
"Then I'll go back and prepare." Su Jiaojiao smiled and invited: "Come to our house in the afternoon."
The two girls also smiled and handed her the things they had prepared.
Su Jiaojiao took the money and agreed with them that they could come over to pick it up after work today. When the time came, they could also directly eat here and go back. After all, they were now living in someone else's house. If it was not convenient for them to eat alone, they would not be able to eat much if they took it back.
In this day and age, food was precious. If they gave it away, they would feel sorry, but if they did not give it away, they would be criticized by angry people.
The two girls' eyes became brighter and brighter, and they happily left hand in hand.
Su Jiaojiao watched them leave and immediately turned to Song Qinghan with a face full of praise: "How was it? I'm awesome, right? "
She did not mention the money. This was not a transaction, and she was not afraid of anyone, but she had made money just like that.
"Awesome!" Song Qinghan said again.
No matter how many times she asked, Song Qinghan answered very seriously. A pair of beautiful eyes looked into her eyes, and the friendship in them was unrestrained.
Su Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled. She pulled his hand: "Are you going to help me too?"
"Okay." Song Qinghan shook her hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
That afternoon, Su Jiaojiao made another catty of cake. She thought that she would have a lot left, but because the second time the cake was more delicious than the first time, the two girls who came to get the cake before everyone got off work could not help but spend money to buy it.
In the end, not a single bit was left.
She earned three yuan in a day.
Su Jiaojiao looked at the three yuan in the palm of her hand and was happy for a long time.
She was full of a sense of accomplishment after completing the task. It seemed that the 88 yuan was not spent in vain.
Since the money was not spent in vain, she had to work harder. Coincidentally, she was talented and wanted to earn more. Therefore, she planned to buy some other ingredients and condiments and secretly make other things.
"I'm going to town tomorrow. Be good and stay at home." Su Jiaojiao deliberately said childishly, as if she were talking to Da Bao. She even reached out and patted his head.
Song Qinghan held her hand and replied in the same mischievous tone: "Then come back early."
His deep voice suddenly became clear and angry, which made Su Jiaojiao blush and glare at him.
Song Qinghan immediately pinched her fingers to please her. His eyes were moist and gentle.
Su Jiaojiao was no longer angry. She held his hand and giggled. Her big eyes sparkled as she leaned on his shoulder softly. The atmosphere was sweet.
Now that the two of them were in an ambiguous relationship, and his body was not well, he did not dare to be too rash. He only dared to this extent.
Song Qinghan was now eating well and sleeping well. He was full of energy. If he got a little closer, he would feel as if his whole body was on fire.
At first, he wanted to take a mile when he got an inch closer. However, after one night, he was so "hot" that he could not sleep the whole night. In the end, he decisively chose to maintain this distance. It was just enough to make him feel satisfied, but not overdo it.
Su Jiaojiao also liked this situation. The two of them looked at each other. Even if there was nothing, a sincere smile spread from the bottom of their hearts. They were very happy.
*****
Su Jiaojiao wanted to go to town to take out the things in her space. Naturally, she had to go alone. Therefore, that afternoon, she borrowed a bicycle from a family and prepared to go the next morning.
However, after dinner, she and Song Qinghan were also called to the Su family's house.
It was because they were going to separate from the family.
This branch family was much more serious than they had imagined. The faces of the Su Family members turned ugly. Zhang Qian was still regretting that she had spoken too much. Her mother-in-law had been thoroughly enraged, and she kept pleading. Sun Fang's face was cold, but when she saw Su Jiaojiao, she smiled.
As for the others, they all shrugged their heads.
Because the separation was not a big deal, it was more low-key. Besides, there was only a small house in the family. Naturally, they would still live together. It was just that in the future, they would have to eat and drink by themselves.
Therefore, this branch of the family was actually much simpler than other branches.
The brigade leader came over only to be a witness.
"After marrying a wife and raising children, we did not save much money. In addition to the 50 yuan that Jiaojiao gave us before, we only have 268 yuan. This 50 yuan was given to me by Jiaojiao, so I will not put it in the separation." Sun Fang had already calculated. In front of her two daughters-in-law, she searched all the places in the house where she could hide things. All the money was here.
She did this because she was afraid that they would think that she was hiding money.
But it was true that she did not. The village was poor. The more than 200 yuan was supplemented by Su Zhengyang who secretly went to the mountains to get things. Raising three children and a few young adults, the family had a lot to eat. The Su parents were generous. When there was food, they were not stingy like other families. Naturally, the expenses were high.
However, there were only a few laborers. How could they save much?
Looking at the three children in front of her, Sun Fang was quite gratified. She was not an old-fashioned old lady who insisted on wasting her daughters-in-law. It was just that her daughters-in-law's mouth was too annoying. She was not alive to be bullied. Her daughter's decisiveness in giving up her reputation and offending her in-laws gave her inspiration. She became calmer about the separation.
"I have three children. Your father and I do not value boys over girls. Naturally, we will treat them the same. As for the remaining 218 yuan, 60 yuan will be given to each family. The remaining 38 yuan will be kept by your father and I. In the future, each of the three families will give me 10 yuan for my retirement." Sun Fang divided the money into three and put it on the table, indicating that they should take it.
Su Jianhua and Su Jianjun did not move with red eyes.
Song Qinghan felt that as a son-in-law, it was not appropriate for him to speak, so he remained silent. Su Jiaojiao was the calmest. She directly took the 60 yuan and said, "Mom, I will take it first."
Zhang Qian hated his sister-in-law. When he heard this, he could not help but want to retort, but he did not dare to. After all, a lesson was in front of him. He could only laugh in his heart, "Take it first? Do you want to return it later? "
No one knew what she was thinking. Su Jiaojiao had already taken the money. The other two brothers did not move, but Wang Jianye urged them, "You two men should be more decisive. You are not as decisive as Jiaojiao. Isn't it just a separation? It's not like we haven't seen it before. "
Su Jianhua bitterly moved her lips. She looked at her father who was smoking silently and her mother who was pulling a long face. She sighed and took her money.
Seeing that his eldest brother had taken it, Su Jianjun naturally took it as well.
Sun Fang nodded and said, "We don't have much in the house. Once the money has been divided, the rest of the things, including this house, are ours. You can live in it however you want, but if you want a new house, you have to spend your own money to build it. Jiaojiao is married, so the house is no longer hers. But this house will be divided into two when we get there. You two brothers can either buy it yourselves or live together."
"Mom? You won't give us the house? " Zhang Qian could not sit still. He did not say anything for a while, but the moment he spoke, his expression turned ugly. "We are the eldest son and grandson of the eldest branch of the family! Why can't we have it? "
Sun Fang looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and sneered, "We can give our things to whoever we want. If you don't like it, get out!"
"I —" Zhang Qian still wanted to say something, but Su Jianhua covered his mouth. He said angrily, "Can you shut up?"
Zhang Qian was not convinced, but Sun Fang said, "Don't forget that I haven't given this house to Jiaojiao yet. You two brothers have taken advantage of her."
Although the eldest couple did not say anything, they still looked unhappy. The second family, on the other hand, was very calm. They had never thought that they would have a share in this house.
Su Jiaojiao said softly, "This isn't about inheriting the throne. Why do we need the eldest son and grandson? Eldest Sister-in-law, what kind of education did you receive? "
Zhang Qian's face turned pale.
Wang Jianye coughed softly and reprimanded, "Jiaojiao, don't talk nonsense."
Wang Jianye and Su Zhengyang had a good relationship. They were about the same age, so he treated Su Jiaojiao as if she were his own niece. He did not hold back.
Su Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and kept quiet.
She did it on purpose. After all, Zhang Qian's mindset was even more feudal than that of the ancient people. Should the eldest son and grandson leave the family property to them?
Song Qinghan pulled her hand and patted her head. He wanted her to stop talking.
Su Jiaojiao moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. She had nothing to do with what was going to happen next, so she was sleepy and wanted to sleep.
She still had to wake up early tomorrow morning.
Song Qinghan immediately reached out and held her shoulder to make her more comfortable.
Wang Jianye glanced at them and his eyes widened. However, he could not bear to say anything when he saw how sweet the couple was.
Sun Fang and Su Zhengyang also had the same reaction. The two of them smiled helplessly. However, the part of their hearts that was suffocating seemed to have cleared up a lot. After all, their son-in-law was actually quite good.
Sun Fang wanted to speed up the process and said, "As for food, we only have one kitchen, so we should eat together. This year's grain …"
Next was the distribution of the grain. This was already calculated. Everyone knew how much they should get and how much they should contribute. As Su Jiaojiao had nothing to do, she naturally did not have any grain.
Wang Jianye did not need any. Other families were not as fair as them when it came to splitting the family property.
After the distribution, the two families were still wallowing in regret. They felt that they had suffered a loss. Previously, they had been eating from the two elders. Although they did not have much left, they did not have to worry.
But now, if they wanted to continue eating after they finished eating, they would have to find a way to get their own grain or write an IOU.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they had suffered a loss.
Especially Zhang Qian. She was so distressed and regretful that her intestines turned green. She had two sons!
The last step of splitting the family property was to write a written agreement. This was the only time when Wang Jianye could be of use.
There were two copies of the agreement. One was for the two elders, and the other was kept by the brigade.
After this was done, Sun Fang sent five eggs over as a service fee. However, Wang Jianye rejected it.
After the only outsider left, Sun Fang said, "Don't be unhappy. There are benefits to this. Before, we were one family, so we had to raise a lot of chickens. Now that we are three families, we can raise more chickens. However, the distribution of the chicken coop in the yard is good, so don't mess with it."
"Got it, Mom," they said weakly.
Su Jiaojiao finally woke up. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Mom, is everyone done distributing?"
"Yes, it's done. Go back to sleep. Didn't you say you were going to town tomorrow? Don't wake up late, "Sun Fang said with a smile.
Su Jiaojiao nodded obediently. She yawned and handed over the 60 yuan in her hand. "Mom, I don't need money. You and Dad can keep this."
Zhang Qian, who had just resented his sister-in-law for taking the money so quickly, was speechless.
