A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 4: Divide the Family, It’s Better to Divide

The days pass by in chaos.

After Wang "recovered", she took over all the big and small chores at home again. She was bullied by her sisters-in-law and ridiculed by her mother-in-law from time to time, but she had long been accustomed to it and no longer found it difficult.

"Xiaomi, when the weather gets warmer, I'll talk to your grandma and make you some new clothes."

Wang said with heartache that her daughter's coarse cloth clothes were patched up with patches.

Lin Xiaomi thought for a while and said, "Forget it." Her mother would not gain any advantage except being scolded, so why bother to torture herself?

Wang sighed, "I'm thinking of a solution."

After sewing the last stitch, she bit off the thread and said, "Okay, put it on first. I'm going to collect grass for the pigs. You don't have to follow me today. It's getting late. I'll be back soon."

"Xiaomi, where is your mother? Tell her to come out and cook!" Yang shouted in front of her house.

"I'm cutting grass for the pigs and haven't come back yet." Xiaomi replied indifferently.

"Why does it take so long to cut the grass? Are you hiding away and being lazy? Mom..."

Yang twisted her buttocks and went to Li to complain.

Xiaomi thought about it and wondered if her mother had fainted again. She ran out quickly and walked along the village to the woods. However, she did not see her parents. She could not help but feel a little anxious. Where on earth had they gone?

I thought I wasn’t home yet, so I hurried back home.

Xiaomi returned home, and Old Man Lin also returned home, but Lin Dashan and his wife still hadn't seen anyone.

"Master, have you seen my parents? They haven't come home yet."

"Your father hasn't come home yet?"

"No, mom hasn't come back either."

Old Man Lin was horrified, "Second Brother, Third Brother, both of you go out and find someone."

"father!"

"Go quickly!!"

Li's heart skipped a beat. After decades of companionship, she knew Lin Mutu's temper very well. It looked like something had happened.

"Old man?"

Lin Mutu turned to look at his wife, "At noon, I talked to the eldest brother about the division of the family..."

Li felt relieved. Was the eldest son finally going to be separated? She thought the old man would not agree and would continue to waste time. She was ready for a long battle, but the surprise came too suddenly.

No, nothing will happen to the eldest son, right? It must not happen, otherwise her reputation and the reputation of the Lin family...

"Second daughter-in-law, third daughter-in-law, you also go out and find someone...quickly..."

As it was getting dark, Xiaomi didn't dare go out and waited anxiously for news at home.

It was completely dark when Lin Dashan and his wife were taken home by Lin Dachuan. The couple lowered their heads, said nothing, and looked depressed. Old man Lin had a gloomy face. Seeing this, the other families did not dare to ask. They ate dinner hastily with their children and retreated to their own rooms.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at her parents sitting on the kang in a daze, Xiaomi asked worriedly.

Wang took a long time to react, covering her face and crying, "Wuwu..." Lin Dashan hunched over, with a sad face, glanced at Xiaomi, squatted down dejectedly and covered his face. Alas, it's because he doesn't have a son! If he had a son, would his father dare to treat him like this today?

In the past, although he wanted a son, it was okay if he didn't have one. His second brother had so many sons, so it wasn't a problem to adopt one for him. Or the second or third brother's son would be fine. So, he had always been very good to his nephews, but he didn't expect... his father, his brothers...

It really proves the old saying that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

"Dad..." Xiaomi was anxious. Is there anything that can't be said?

"Xiaomi, your grandfather...he...separated us from the others!"

Phew! She was so scared, she thought her parents were terminally ill! Divide the family, it would be better if we did, she had wanted to do it for a long time. The two of them were like mules in this family, working the most, eating the worst, working themselves to death, and not being able to save a penny.

She didn't believe that their lives would get worse and worse if they left the Lin family. Fortunately, she had lived in the New Century for 30 years and was at least a senior executive.

"What did Grandpa say about dividing the family? Are Second Uncle and Third Uncle willing? My youngest uncle hasn't even gotten married yet!"

In ancient times, when a family was divided, the eldest son would take 70% of the family property. Although the Lin family had no money, they at least had dozens of acres of land.

Lin Dashan bent down in pain, "Your grandfather only divided our family."

Looking at the expressions of his parents, Xiaomi had a bad feeling. Was he kicked out of the house? !

"What?"

"It is said that your uncle is going to get married, but there is no room left at home. Now your uncle and his two nephews live in one room, so they can't get married."

"So we're going to separate our family to make room for my uncle?"

Wang nodded to her daughter with tears in her eyes.

"How do we divide the land? How many acres do we get?"

"Your grandfather said that the other brothers have not yet divided the family property, and he and mother are still strong. He will not divide the land among us yet. He will buy a foundation for us at the entrance of the village, and give us 5 taels of silver as money for building a house, and 300 kilograms of grain."

Gone?

That's it?
