The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

If they don't divide the assets now, the family fortune will only decrease in the future; his son is a bottomless pit. After dividing them, at least they will earn their own money, and that will give them the motivation to work.

After listening at the door, Cui Hehua smiled slightly. It had nothing to do with her anyway; she wouldn't get a single penny.

She doesn't care how they divide it.

Cui Hehua swayed her hips as she went to the kitchen to make herself dinner. They certainly weren't in the mood for food now; her second son had gone to find the village chief. She also made a few extra cornbread buns; she'd pretend to be sick starting tomorrow. When dividing the family property, it would be best if she were taken along too.

Old Wang sat in the main room, his face ashen. His own brother had betrayed him during his most difficult time; no one would feel good about that. Fortunately, he still had his father, and he and his wife were still young and capable. When they grew old and could no longer work, their grandson would rise to the occasion.

When the village chief arrived, he had a sour face. He really didn't want to come to the Wang family's place; their family's situation was too murky, and no one could figure it out.

"Grandpa, I heard you're going to split up the family property?"

"Yes, village chief, a tree grows big and branches out, it's time to let them go their own way. They're all grown up now and can take charge of their own lives."

The village chief didn't want to answer, "What about the clan chief?"

"The third son went to call them, they should be here soon." The old man sighed. When it came to dividing the family property, his two sons were really eager to go. One went to find the village chief, and the other went to call the clan chief.

People are selfish. Now that the eldest son's family is no longer a source of hope, they are unwilling to make any more sacrifices. What can he say? "Every man for himself" is a proverb. Wasn't he like that when he was young?

After the village chief and clan head arrived, everyone had no objections to the division of the family property, as it had been discussed beforehand. They all knew perfectly well that the extra share their father had asked for would definitely be left to their eldest brother. What could they do if their grandfather wanted to keep a share for his retirement? They absolutely couldn't say anything to stop him from keeping it.

Therefore, when it came to providing for the elderly, the old man naturally lived with the eldest son, while each of them received one hundred coins and fifty catties of grain per year.

The houses were easier to divide up. The current residents each went back to their own homes. As for the kitchen, each family had to figure out how to build a shed for it. The original kitchen went to the eldest son, since the old man lived with them and couldn't be without a pot to cook in.

There was no silver left in the house, so the farm tools, land, and grain were divided into four parts, and the division of the family property was complete. After the group pressed their fingerprints on the division document, they took their belongings back to their houses. Normally, after the division, a meal should be held for the witnesses, but now, who would do it?

The village chief and the Wang family patriarch said nothing, got up to leave, and decided it was better not to eat this meal, as they were afraid it would cause indigestion.

"Boss, you guys go back inside too. I want to be alone."

"Dad, Mom's going to make a bowl of dumpling soup now. You have to have at least one bowl later." He knew his father was upset; ultimately, it was because he, as the son, was useless. He couldn't support the whole family and was looked down upon by his own brothers.

The old man waved his hand, and Wang Laoda pursed his lips, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

The old man puffed on his pipe incessantly, filling the main room with smoke. This family, under his and his wife's management, was once the wealthiest in Zaoshu Village. Their eldest grandson was diligent, intelligent, and handsome. Even after his wife passed away, the family remained harmonious, all their efforts focused on giving their grandson a bright future.

Over the years, the biggest issue in the family has been the eldest son's health deterioration. When did the discord in the family begin? It seems to have started after the broken engagement, when the Fang family had to pay a large sum of money, and the second and third sons began to harbor resentment. Then, because Defa had an affair with Cui, which tarnished their reputation, the family became even more unhappy. The worst part was after Cui entered the family; nothing went smoothly for them.

No one was willing to do the work, and even the farmers started slacking off in farming. They still hoped to rely on their eldest grandson and didn't want to push too hard; they were just a little resentful, but they could still suppress it. However, once the eldest grandson broke his leg, the other two families completely broke off relations. The reason was obvious: there was no hope left; the eldest grandson could no longer bring them any benefits.

Sigh, he was also filled with resentment when he thought about it. His two perfectly good legs had been broken by someone stepping on them.

A family was torn apart. In just one year, the Wang family went from being the most respected and envied family in the village to being pointed at and gossiped about whenever they went out. The family's money was gone, and the family members went their separate ways.

Ultimately, the culprit is the Cui family. However, they cannot be punished, nor can they be divorced.

He felt angry and frustrated, but powerless to do anything about it.
