Quickly wear, the host just wants to be bad

Chapter 63: The Cannon Fodder Mother-in-law Starved to Death by Her Daughter-in-law 6

Soon it was the second day of February, and Zhou An and Li Mei got married. After getting their marriage certificate, they took a ox cart back to Houling Village. Here, they swore an oath in front of the portrait of the great man, and the wedding was considered complete. They gave two taels of brown sugar to the team leader and the branch secretary who came to witness the wedding.

So I didn't invite the villagers to a banquet or anything. After all, everyone knows how precious food is now, and no one has surplus food at home, so no one would be so tactless as to invite everyone to a banquet.

On the second day after the wedding, Liu Xiulan asked the team leader and the branch secretary to come over again. The two knew what was going on because they had always heard Liu Xiulan say that the family would be separated after the second son got married, so they also had an idea in their minds.

So the family sat in the main hall, and after the two village leaders sat down, Liu Xiulan spoke directly: "Captain, Secretary, I said before that we will separate the family after the second son gets married, so I invited you here today to help as a witness."

The team leader and the branch secretary nodded in agreement.

Liu Xiulan turned her head and looked at her three adopted children: "Your father passed away early and left nothing behind. The things in the house were all earned by me when I was scrambling for things a few years ago when the policy was not implemented. When the eldest and second child got married, the betrothal gifts were both 288 yuan, so I will also give 288 yuan for Xiaolian's dowry in the future. Do you have any objections?"

Seeing the three people shaking their heads, Liu Xiulan continued, "I got an extra house when the second brother got married, which the eldest brother doesn't have. I will convert it into cash and give it to the eldest brother. As for Xiaolian, I have already bought the yard you live in now, so I won't give you any money.

I had given the money to the eldest son for the second son and Xiaolian to buy jobs, so that doesn't count. Now after deducting the 230 yuan left for the eldest son to buy a house and Xiaolian's 288 yuan dowry, there is still 2664 yuan left and some bills.

Each of you three will get 800 yuan. As for the remaining 264 yuan and the tickets, I will keep them for myself. As for this house, I will leave it to the eldest brother.

After all, I will live with the old family in my old age, and I will leave my things to your eldest brother. The second brother and Xiaolian will give me five yuan a month for my retirement. If I get sick in the future, the three of you will share the cost. Do you have any objection?"

The three of them said they had no objection, saying that their mother had divided the profits fairly without favoring anyone else, and that in the end the eldest brother was the one who suffered the loss, as their mother had not asked them to hand in their wages since they started working, so it was the eldest brother who deserved a bigger share.

So after the branch secretary wrote the division agreement, several people signed and put their fingerprints on it, making five copies, one for each of the three brothers and sisters, one for Liu Xiu Lan, and the remaining copy was kept as a backup by the brigade.

Liu Xiulan: "Xiao Lian hasn't mentioned her in-laws yet, so I'll save the 288 yuan dowry for her first."

After the team leader and the branch secretary left, Liu Xiulan called everyone to her room, took out three boxes from the kang cabinet and said, "My father used to be an accountant in a wealthy family. Later, during the turbulent times, he did some small business and saved some money. But later he offended some people.

They sold all their property and sent me and my mother to settle here. These three boxes contain the things they brought back then. Each box contains ten large yellow croakers and 20 small yellow croakers. These are the same for the three of you.

Remember, in this world, you should keep these things away first, and don't touch them unless it is absolutely necessary."

Xie Xiaohong and Li Mei didn't expect that their husband's family had such a background. They were stunned. Not to mention them, even Zhou Ping and his two siblings only found out about it today.

Liu Xiulan took out three passbooks and said, "These three passbooks were opened in the Bank of China in your three names. There is 40,000 yuan in each of them. It is all my earnings in the past few years. Except for Xiaolian's, which I will keep temporarily, you two brothers can take yours back and keep them for yourselves."

Then she took out the tickets she had exchanged and divided them into four parts, one for herself and one for each of her children.

Liu Xiulan: "I will also take one of these tickets, and the rest will be one for each of you."

The three siblings and two sisters-in-law are now numb. Who can understand that they have both gold and savings overnight? This is truly getting rich overnight.

Even Li Mei, who had seen some of the world, was confused. His family was in pretty good condition. Before she got married, her parents gave her more than 2,000 yuan in savings, and she also had three small yellow croakers. Her family also divided the property fairly, but not as generously as her mother-in-law.

After distributing these, Liu Xiulan said, "As for the food, it's a bit confusing at the moment, so let's not distribute it."

Li Mei also thought that there was not much food, so she didn't care. But Xie Xiaohong knew that there was a cellar in the utility room at home, which contained two thousand kilograms of grain. The family had not moved much for such a long time, and they had been eating the food stored in the cellar outside the kitchen.

Although she didn't know about the food in the cellar in Liu Xiulan's room, the three brothers and sisters knew about it. But their mother also said that they would not share it, so no one was smart enough to mention it. Anyway, their mother would not let them starve.

Several people returned to the room with their divided things in a daze. The two daughters-in-law initially thought that the Zhou family was just as it seemed, but who knew that this division would result in so many things. For a moment, they didn't know how to describe their current mood.

Although Zhou Lian had not received the things yet, after knowing the wealth her mother had earned for them, she felt heartbroken. She was impressed by her mother's ability and felt sorry for her hard work.

The one thing they all agree on is that we must be filial to our mother (mother-in-law) in the future.

The next day, the three of them had to go to work and return to the city. Zhou An and Li Mei took the things they had received last night back to their own small home in the city. Although their mother gave them such confidence, they still had to rely on themselves to run the family in the future.

When she returned to her parents' home three days later, Li Mei told her mother about the things her mother-in-law had prepared for their room, and that her mother-in-law had gotten them 200 kilograms of food. She also mentioned that her mother-in-law had divided the family property the day after their wedding, with each family receiving 800 yuan, which was not a fair division.

But she kept silent about what she got later. She also knew that people's hearts are fickle. Although her mother loved her very much, who could really resist the temptation of money? So she just kept it to herself.

She also listened to what Zhou An said. She felt that her mother-in-law was a very wise person. It would definitely be beneficial for her to plan ahead and learn more.

Liu Xiulan calculated her current assets and found that she had RMB 264 left. She set aside RMB and kept the rest separately. Liu Xiulan felt that if she divided the property now, they could live their own lives in the future and there would be less trouble.

A few days later, Xie Xiaohong, who had been married for three years without any news, finally found out that she was pregnant. This made the couple very excited, but Liu Xiulan felt that her good days were coming to an end.
