Quick Wear: To get home quickly, do the task

Even in a good harvest year, ordinary people today cannot afford to eat their fill every day. They are content as long as they can eat until they are 60% full.

There are not many sweet potatoes in the space, only enough to plant one acre of land, but it doesn’t matter, we can leave more seeds after the autumn harvest.

Just when he was about to make a big move, a quarrel broke out at home.

But this is also expected!

"Mom, I don't agree to plant these sweet potatoes. Our family only has five acres of land, and we are already short of money after paying the grain tax. Now we have to use one acre of land to plant these sweet potatoes that we have never seen before. What if they don't grow well, won't we all starve next year?" The young wife of the Lin family felt that she was on the right side and spoke with confidence.

Although Zhang had never seen sweet potatoes, in the years before the younger daughter-in-law came into the family, the eldest daughter-in-law was in charge of all major family matters, and there had never been any mistakes.

Therefore, Zhang felt that there must be a reason why her eldest daughter-in-law did this, and she would never act recklessly in this regard.

"What does my second brother say?" Yuan Feng saw that Zhang didn't say anything, so he knew that his mother-in-law probably didn't object.

"Sister-in-law, I have no objection." Turning around and seeing his wife's angry eyes, he quickly added, "But Cuilan's concerns are correct this time."

"Then let's split up!"

Yuan Feng didn't want to cause a scene, as it would embarrass Zhang. Zhang had been very unimpressed with Yuan Feng over the past few years.

If the mother-in-law was a little more troublesome and a little less trusting, how could it be so smooth for Yuan Feng, a widow, to go to the next county every two months to keep an eye on Han Qiang and his sister?

Yuan Feng is still willing to consider the feelings of those who do not affect his mission! Therefore, separation is the best solution.

"Dividing the family? Sister-in-law, that's not necessary."

Lin Xiuwu immediately objected. His sister-in-law had been a widow for so many years and the most important thing was that she had no son. If the family was really divided, how would outsiders look at him?

His daughter-in-law Cuilan kicked him nearby.

"Mom, what do you think?"

What could Zhang think? She certainly didn't want to divide the family, but this daughter-in-law wanted to fight for everything.

Although the eldest daughter-in-law doesn't fight for anything, she can't stand being wronged.

Sooner or later, the two of them would have a quarrel. If they did, she was afraid the eldest daughter-in-law would beat the younger one to death! It would be better to divide the family now while there was still some affection.

"I have no objection, but the division of the family property must be done according to my way."

"We have five acres of land. I'll take one, leaving you two acres. The house belongs to whoever lives in it. We don't have much money, just over ten taels. You two families will each take four taels, and the rest will belong to me."

"As for me, I should have been the eldest son. Although your eldest brother is gone, your sister-in-law is still here. I will live with your sister-in-law from now on. When I am old and can't move, you can just provide me with pension according to the village standard."

Lin Xiuwu spoke first, "Mom, I don't agree!"

My eldest brother is gone, so what's the point of giving my mother to my widowed sister-in-law? My mother really doesn't care how he will live in the village in the future.

The young wife followed up with another sentence, "I don't agree either! Why should my sister-in-law take half?"

She agreed to divide the family. Her widowed sister-in-law had no son. When her daughter got married in the future, would she have to let her own children take care of her in her old age?

What she disagreed with was that her sister-in-law was a widow who didn't even have a son, so why should she get half?

"I'll listen to my mother." Yuan Feng said.

Seeing Yuan Feng agreed, Zhang no longer had any concerns. She turned to look at her daughter-in-law and said, "I have the final say on this matter. If you have any objections, go to the village chief."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Xiuwu again, "Xiuwu, I gave your sister-in-law half, do you think it's unfair? Since ancient times, the eldest branch of the family has always received more. That's why I only got half of your sister-in-law's property since your brother is gone. What's more, if it weren't for your sister-in-law during the famine, our family might not have survived. People should still have a conscience!"

Lin Xiuwu's face turned red when he heard this. Although they took the mountain road when they fled the famine and did not encounter large groups of refugees, they did encounter quite a few scattered refugees who came to rob things.

And when they occasionally encountered wild animals in the mountains, it was always my sister-in-law who rushed to the front to protect the whole family. As for him, his legs were so weak from fear at first that he couldn't help at all! Although he got better later, he could only do his best to not be a drag, and my sister-in-law was still the one who led the way.

My sister-in-law was obviously a weak woman before she fled the famine, but she overcame her fear and stood in front of the family.

Fortunately, when my brother was alive, he taught my sister-in-law some martial arts. Otherwise, even if my sister-in-law had a lot of courage, she would have been gone long ago.

Yuan Feng: You guys just believed a lie I made up? Didn't you think your brother's martial arts skills were just for show?

"Mom, that's not what I meant! I don't agree to splitting up the family. And even if we split up, you have to live with me."

Zhang then softened her attitude, pulled Lin Xiuwu aside, and whispered, "Okay, I know you are a filial son.

Cuilan and your sister-in-law don't get along, you can see that, so break up to avoid trouble in the future!

As for your mother living with your sister-in-law, it's because this is the right thing to do. Otherwise, outsiders would think we don't care about your widowed sister-in-law. Besides, even if we split up, we still live together."

"...Mom, I understand! You are so thoughtful."

"Go and invite the village chief and your father-in-law over tomorrow, sign the document, and the matter will be settled."

"Okay, mother."

The daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home that night. I don't know what her in-laws said to her, but the separation went smoothly the next day.

No one was messing around, so Yuan Feng could plant whatever he wanted on his own land.

There were quite a few villagers who came to watch the fun, and they said all kinds of things. Saying that she was ruining the land and didn't know how to farm was an understatement. Some even said she was a spendthrift.

But everyone knows that she is not easy to mess with, so no one dares to say it to her face.

Her family did say a few words, but Yuan Feng just sent them away.

Someone even went to tell Zhang not to let her daughter-in-law do what she wants. How could she let a junior do such a thing as wasting land?

Zhang: Do I have the final say in this matter? My daughter-in-law just said she doesn't agree to plant sweet potatoes, and she said she doesn't have any extra ones and is directly asking for a division of the family property!

Besides, the seeds have already been planted, so how can we pull them out and plant something else? It's not the right season either!

......

When it was time to dig the sweet potatoes, everyone in the village came to watch the fun.

When the crops were weighed, everyone was shocked. The yield per mu was 2,000 kilograms!

The village chief had dinner at Yuan Feng's house.

After Yuan Feng repeatedly assured him that it was edible, the village chief took his first bite of the sweet potato and said, "It's delicious and a little sweet."

"Sister-in-law Lin, can you sell me some of your sweet potatoes?"

"Ask my daughter-in-law about this. She got the sweet potatoes and she also planted them."

It seems that the one in charge is the daughter-in-law!
