In his previous life, Zheng Wendong gave to everyone, but when he looked around at his people in old age, few could live up to his efforts. His parents and brothers were just so-so. In this life, he just wanted to live a good life for his own family.

The four brothers and sisters went to the market to sell tofu.

By the time I came back at noon, the tofu was almost sold out. If it wasn’t sold out, I would go again in the evening.

Zheng Wendong finished selling his wares at 11 o'clock and rode his tricycle back home. As soon as the tricycle stopped, Zheng's mother immediately said, "You're back."

Routine's hand reached out and took the red bucket from the tricycle, which contained the money from selling tofu.

Zheng's mother started counting the small bills on the spot.

"Nine..."

"Seventeen..."

"Twenty-nine dollars and seventy cents."

After Zheng's mother finished counting, Dong Dacheng asked curiously, "Wendong, today's tofu should be sold for 31 yuan, why is there 1.3 yuan missing?"

Zheng Wendong glanced at his stepfather and replied, "A regular customer didn't bring any money, so I'm selling him on credit. I'll pick it up tomorrow."

Dong Dacheng nodded immediately, and when the other sons came back one after another, the old couple settled the accounts in the same way.

Every day, Dong Dacheng made the same tofu. He cut three plates of raw tofu and cooked tofu by hand. One piece of raw tofu could be fried into several pieces of cooked tofu and sold for a few cents, not a penny off. So after selling a few, he could just count the money and it would be clear who had taken the money.

The eldest is the most honest.

The second one is the most cunning, and he sneaks a few tricks from time to time.

The third child is the smartest and can negotiate business with merchants on his own.

The fourth brother is dull and serious.

Zheng Wendong glanced at his stepfather and watched him divide up the money and keep accounts. In his previous life, he thought his stepfather was good to him, but now he realized that in fact, his stepfather was also wary of him. Oh no, or rather, several of his children were wary of him.

He knew how much the tofu he put on the tricycle sold for every day. If the money you took back was less or didn't add up, he would suspect that you spent the money on something you shouldn't have. The second child was once hung up and beaten like this, and was left hungry for three days and three nights.

From then on, the brothers and sisters stopped thinking about tampering with the money from selling tofu.

In Dong Dacheng's words, only when the family is united can the brothers and sisters succeed, so they have to listen to him as the head of the family.

But whoever listens is a fool.

Zheng Wendong heard it in his previous life, so he was the dumbest one.

When he returned to his room, he saw Su Ying drying peanuts. Her belly was not yet visible. She had to save enough money before the baby was born so that if she had another difficult delivery, she would not be left without money.

In Su Ying's previous life, she had a difficult delivery and the doctor said she probably couldn't be saved. He had no money. When her stepfather and biological mother heard that they might lose both their money and their lives, they hesitated and didn't try to save her. Su Ying died. She was just a daughter-in-law, how could she be more important than the money they had?

In this life, he has to make sure he has enough money on hand to cope with it.

It is impossible to tamper with the money from selling tofu, and it is also unlikely to divide the family now. If his stepfather disagrees, he will have to propose it and make a fuss. Moreover, based on his understanding, he will not be able to divide the family property in the end given the personalities of his biological mother and stepfather. When the relatives come one after another, they will probably come to Su Ying. It's a pity that he can't divide the family property even after being accused of being unfilial.

I can only save money privately for now.

Zheng Wendong thought to himself.

"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed." Su Ying came closer curiously, fanning herself gently in her hand.

"Think about how to make money so that you and your children can live a good life." Zheng Wendong hugged her and took her fan to fan her.

"Aren't you making money now?" Su Ying asked curiously.

"I don't have the right to control it, so how can it be considered my own money?" Zheng Wendong said calmly, "The money is in the hands of my parents. They can give it to whoever they want. My parents value the third child the most. If the third child wants to develop in the future, the old couple will definitely give him financial support. Then, when the time comes, your younger brother can help you, his older brother. How can I refuse?"

I guess I won't be given a chance to refuse.

Zheng Wendong understands the people in this family too well. His biological mother favors the second child, and his stepfather favors the third child.

"Give it to the third brother for development. When he becomes rich, we can find him when we need him. If he is willing, it is out of kindness. If he is not willing, it is his duty."

Zheng Wendong said this sarcastically, but he could only tell Su Ying.

Because she and I are the only ones in the same boat.

Su Ying was surprised to hear her husband's words. She always felt that her husband seemed to have experienced something and was seriously hurt. After all, he was a man who was wholeheartedly working for the big family yesterday, but now he seemed to have come to his senses.

Thinking about the baby in my belly.

Su Ying said, "Then what do you want to...?"

Zheng Wendong said, "I want to split up."

Su Ying was really surprised this time. Separation of the family, such a touching word for her. Wait, was he testing her?

Su Ying looked up at Zheng Wendong with a serious expression, not as if he was joking.

If he could split up the family and live his own life, that would be what Su Ying had always dreamed of.

He has his own house, his own children, and lives his life behind closed doors as a family. Ahem, etc. He can't show it too obviously, as if he really hates his brothers.

Su Ying looked up with bright eyes, "Do you really want to split up?"

Zheng Wendong looked down at her and saw that his wife's eyes were shining. He immediately understood that Su Ying probably also wanted to divide the family.

She also wants to have her own small family. Born in a big family, with elderly parents and young children to take care of, you have to worry about whether others will give you a cold shoulder when you pick up a piece of meat with chopsticks.

He nodded with a pang in his heart, "I want to."

Zheng Wendong said, "But not now. We'll have to split up sooner or later, but I can't bring it up. It's useless even if I bring it up. I'll try to find some more money first. I'll save some money privately. When the baby is born, even if we don't get much from the split, we won't have to worry about money."

When Su Ying heard that his plan included herself and her child, she instantly became extremely excited.

She felt that she had chosen the right person.

"When the baby is three months old and more stable, I will find some work to do." Su Ying said in a low voice. She was not afraid of hard work, but she was afraid that the man's heart was not in harmony with her.

Although I don’t know why Wen Dong suddenly came to his senses, it’s a good thing. At least, he wants to divide the family business.

We don’t start eating until everyone is gathered at home.

There are four brothers and sisters, three daughters-in-law, an elderly couple and four children in the family, and only two tables.

There were three plates of meat and one plate of pork belly. The second son's wife was afraid that her son and husband would not eat enough, so as soon as the meat came up, she picked up several slices of meat with her chopsticks and put them into the bowls of her husband and child.

The third son, Dong Wenlong, and his wife did not argue, but Zheng's mother would put the meat into Dong Wenlong's bowl.

Only the fourth child had to pick up the food with his chopsticks.

Then there was Zheng Wendong. He picked up the meat and put it directly into Su Ying's bowl, without missing the dissatisfied eyes of the second son's wife. But he didn't care. Since all the money he earned was handed over to the public, what's the big deal about eating a few pieces of meat or a whole plate?

He not only wants to eat, but also wants to eat more.

The couple divided the last two pieces of meat between them.

During his lunch break, Zheng Wendong faintly heard the sound of his second brother and his wife arguing from next door.
