"The eldest and youngest sons are sons, but isn't the second son also a son? Won't you be punished by the heavens if you do this? "
"…"
The villagers chattered away, making Mrs. Zhu lose face. Mrs. Zhu scolded the onlookers, "What right do outsiders have to meddle in our Family Zhu's affairs? I can do whatever I want."
"Haha, Auntie Family Zhu, what are you saying? We're not meddling in other people's affairs. We just can't stand it. If you act like this, I'll see who dares to marry an unreasonable person like you in the future. Your third son isn't married yet, right? Your grandson still has to marry a wife in the future, right? Your granddaughter still has to marry, right? Don't ruin your reputation. "
Mrs. Zhu was really frightened by what others said.
In the village, other things were not important, but reputation was still very important. If people spread rumors, then it would really be troublesome for Family Zhu to marry a wife or daughter in the future.
Mrs. Zhu frowned. Because of these meddlesome people, she had no choice but to share some things with Zhu Erhu even if she didn't want to.
Zhu Erhu said, "Mother, I don't want much. Just give me a room in our house so that Lan 'er, the children, and I can have a place to stay. We have a total of six mu of paddy fields and two mu of dry land. Give me one mu of paddy field and half a mu of dry land. The rest will be given to Eldest Brother and Third Brother. "
In this way, Zhu Erhu didn't have much. If they really split the family assets evenly, they would get more than this.
"Auntie Family Zhu, Erhu doesn't want much. You have to give it to him, right?"
Mrs. Zhu didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Zhu Daniu and asked for Zhu Daniu's opinion.
Although this request didn't sound like much, Zhu Daniu still felt that he was at a disadvantage.
"Second Brother, you also know that Third Brother is still studying. His school expenses for a year are two taels of silver. We paid for it together before we split from the family. If we split from the family, you'll have to bear half of it, right? "
After Zhu Daniu finished speaking, a villager started to spit out, "Your Third Brother also got some of the farmland. Shouldn't he give some of his annual harvest to Erhu? Isn't it obvious that he's bullying us? "
"That's right. You shouldn't bully people like this."
Zhu Daniu's face and ears turned red from fear. His wishful thinking was not given a chance for him to carry out.
Thus, someone suggested, "I think Erhu should just share one-third of the cost. Actually, it's understandable even if he doesn't share the cost after we split up. Auntie Family Zhu, if Erhu were to share one-third of the money, would the family be able to be divided like this? "
"Well …"
Family Zhu's old lady still didn't know what to say. She couldn't calculate this by herself. Instead, she looked at Zhu Daniu.
Zhu Daniu thought for a while. If Zhu Erhu could share one-third of the cost of his third brother's tuition, it would be fine. As for the other one-third, his third brother's annual harvest would be enough.
Now that the villagers were watching them split from the family assets, they couldn't bully Zhu Erhu too much.
In fact, after thinking about it carefully, if his third brother got married and split from the family assets, he wouldn't be able to get so much farmland.
Thus, Zhu Daniu nodded and said, "Okay. If Erhu can share one-third of my third brother's tuition, we'll split it like this."
