In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

"You!" Wang Dakuo saw that Wang Tianci responded so firmly.

He glared fiercely at Liu who suddenly appeared behind Wang Tianci.

She must have said something behind Wang Tianci just now.

Otherwise...why would Wang Tianci be so determined to separate from Shen Qian?

"Uncle Dakuo, you saw it too." Shen Qian faced Wang Dakuo and shrugged.

"Tianci's heart is not in my family at all."

"Dividing it in advance will be good for both of our families."

This time, Wang Dakuo finally gave up persuading him.

A long sigh.

Just as he was about to shout into the distance, he saw Wang Jizu running towards him obediently with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Grandma!"

"Paper, pen and ink are all brought here."

"Are you missing anything? Tell me now and I'll get it."

Wang Dakuo looked at Wang Jizu who was well prepared, and was so angry that he sucked his teeth.

Shen Qian's family is splitting up, why are you so active?

Those who don't know might think that you want to wait until Wang Tianci divides the family property and then recognize Wang Shen as your godparent.

"It's not missing anymore, and you're the fastest." Wang Dakuo scolded him, and stood there waiting for the table to be moved over. He spread out the paper and said:

"This family, Wang Shenshi, how do you plan to divide it?"

When it comes to dividing the family, it actually depends on how the elders in the family arrange the distribution of property.

If the elders don’t give it to you, the children can’t take it away even if they force it.

At most, they got too little and were criticized by the villagers.

"Your carriage, along with the treasures inside, belongs to you." Shen Qian looked at Wang Tianci and said in a resounding voice the first thing that would be given to him after the family division.

Before Wang Tianci could react, his wife Liu's eyes lit up.

Others may not understand, but she does.

Among the things in that carriage, the gold ingots alone weighed as much as two thousand taels, plus the jewelry. Even the landlords' wealth was not as valuable as the treasures in their carriage.

What's more, according to the exchange rate of gold and silver, those two thousand taels of gold are equivalent to forty thousand taels of silver!

"A portion of the carriage and the treasures inside it." After Wang Dakuo finished writing, he shouted loudly.

Shen Qian listened and said to Wang Dakuo:

"It's worth at least fifty thousand taels of silver."

"How much...how much?" Wang Dakuo took a breath after hearing this.

He knew that there were countless treasures in these carriages, but he could not imagine that the value of the treasures in one carriage was as much as 50,000 taels of silver.

This...is this the amount of money that can be shared out when a child is separated from the family?

"Fifty thousand taels of silver." Shen Qian spoke in a very calm tone.

As she finished speaking, she glanced at Liu's parents out of the corner of her eye and found that the greed on their faces could not be concealed at all.

Even my breathing became heavy.

Wang Dakuo looked at Liu and Wang Tianci, asking for their opinions.

Wang Tianci looked at his wife Liu, and when he saw Liu nod, he nodded too.

Seeing this, Wang Dakuo added a clause to the division of property:

"Worth fifty thousand taels of silver!"

Sing out loud.

The villagers gathered in the surrounding Wangjia Village all showed envy:

"Wang Tianci was born into a good family. He can get 50,000 taels of silver directly from the family division. This is enough to buy Wangjia Village."

"More than that. You can do the math yourself. If each household has 200 taels of land, and there are 200 households, that's only... less than 50,000 taels."

"But he's also confused. How could he agree to this? Seeing that the Wang Shen family's foundation is getting stronger and stronger, and there is also the title of nobility, with the title, they are no longer just peasants like us."

"..."

"A horse." Shen Qian spoke again.

Village chief Wang Dakuo nodded and sang loudly.

Although the value of this horse was negligible compared to the wealth in that cart, Wang Tianci and Liu had no objection.

It took a long time for the words to fall.

Village chief Wang Dakuo couldn't hear what was going on, so he asked Shen Qian:

"Then?"

Facing the village chief's question, Shen Qian frowned slightly:

"What else?"

"I gave him 50,000 taels of silver when I divided the family property. Isn't that enough?"

"I earned all the wealth in this family."

"He's been so sneaky at home. If it weren't for that cartload of treasure, which is worth at least 50,000 taels of silver, I wouldn't even want to give him 50,000 taels."

Shen Qian was not polite at all when she spoke.

But it directly shattered Liu's expectation and dream.

Wang Tianci even stiffened his neck, looking like he was going to argue with Shen Qian.

But after meeting his mother's cold and unfamiliar eyes, he was so scared that he retracted his neck again.

I didn't show filial piety to my mother.

When disaster struck, I didn't block the knife for my mother or protect her. These are facts.

"Tianci~!" Seeing that Wang Tianci actually bowed his head and did not fight for it at this critical moment of family division, Liu shook his arm coquettishly.

Who would complain about having too much money?

When Wang Tianci saw Liu hugging his arm and acting coquettishly, he felt a sense of guilt.

After the family split up, there was no longer any protection from my mother.

"Mother, in addition to the wealth, can you give us a cart of food? Without food, we can't continue our migration south." Wang Tianci said carefully.

Judging from her attitude, I'm afraid she won't give it to me if I ask for money directly.

But if we have to settle for a truckload of food, that would also cost a lot of money.

Moreover, there was also an extra carriage and a horse.

Everything you get is your own asset.

Shen Qian should agree to this reasonable request.

But Shen Qian, who knew the moral character of his father-in-law's family well, still shook her head:

"Fifty thousand taels of silver will arrive in Liangdu soon. You can go into Liangdu to make your purchase."

"As for food, you will eat with me today and tomorrow."

"I won't share the kitchen with you these two days."

Seeing that his mother had clearly refused and her attitude was very firm, Wang Tianci didn't know how to speak again for a while.

Fifty thousand taels of silver, he had no accurate understanding of this money.

But I just heard from the village elders that it is enough to buy the entire Wangjia Village.

This amount of money is indeed quite a lot for me.

I won't suffer when I'm with Liu, so what is there to be dissatisfied about?

No matter how Liu acted coquettishly or winked at him, Wang Tianci remained silent.

Seeing this, the village chief Wang Dakuo nodded secretly: Wang Tianci is a good kid, he knows how to be content.

Unlike his wife, no matter how much property you have, it is only yours if you can keep it.

It doesn't belong to you just because you get it.

"Now that the division is complete, let me ask one more question." Wang Dakuo took the three division contracts, looked through them, and asked Shen Qian and Wang Tianci:

"Ms. Wang Shen, what are your requirements for future support?"

Speaking of this, Liu's heart tightened.

My mother-in-law has a lot of money now. If the maintenance fee is calculated based on this wealth, the annual expenditure will be quite high.

But then Shen Qian spoke, and she felt relieved:

"I don't have any requirements. If you want to come during holidays, just let me know in advance. If you don't want to come, then you don't have to come."

"Okay." Wang Dakuo nodded after hearing this.

If other families were to split up, he might have tried to persuade them and asked for alimony.

But it is obviously impossible for Shen Qian to squander such a huge fortune.

Compared to her, Wang Dakuo was more worried that Wang Tianci, who had separated from the family, would squander all the money first.

After the contract was signed, Shen Qian put it away.

Father and Mother Liu, who had been watching for a long time, stepped forward quickly, acted like good people, and comforted Wang Tianci:

"Since your mother doesn't want you, we will be a family from now on."

"If you have anything, you can tell your father-in-law. He will definitely support you!"

Shen Qian felt a chill when she heard them talk about being "one family".

I thought to myself: Just enjoy the family of my father-in-law and son-in-law. Let's see how long you can hold on to all your wealth under the 'sweet offensive' of your father-in-law.

When you are squeezed dry by your father-in-law, I want to see if he will still treat you like the father-in-law and his family as you do now.
