Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Then Wen Tang greeted Gu Jin as "Auntie".

Gu Jin nodded, "Yes, you're back!"

Then she added, "I must say, these two kids bought a pretty good piece of lard," which was meant to smooth things over for Wen Tang and Chi Yue.

Wen Tang thought to herself, "It was worth it for me to speak up for Gu Jin before."

Zhong Meixian looked at the large chunk of lard and clicked her tongue in distress, saying, "Even the prettiest lard can't withstand buying so much!"

"What kind of family buys meat like this?"

"How much wealth do you have to afford to spend like this?"

Wen Tang immediately said, "Mom, before I married into your family, you didn't say your family's conditions were this bad, did you?"

"You should have told me even if I wanted to buy a piece of lard! You should have said so earlier! I would rather drown myself than marry into your family!"

"Okay, you decide, I'll divorce your son."

"I married a man just for food and clothing, not for a Manchu Han Imperial Feast with beef in the morning and venison in the evening. I just bought some lard, and you're going to complain about that?"

Zhong Meixian was made to behave somewhat after being teased, but she still couldn't help but say, "I can't out-talk you."

Wen Tang nodded, "Yes, yes, I'm always chattering away, my husband is never home, I'll make way for any mistress, and I'll hang myself if the child cries. How about that, Mom? Are you satisfied?"

The words "hanging" made Zhong Meixian jump. She was holding onto the stool and couldn't sit still. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

Gu Jinfeng panicked too, "Sister-in-law, this is not allowed!"

Hang yourself?

What kind of wicked family could torment a new bride to the point of suicide?

After Gu Jinfeng finished speaking, she said to her mother, "Mom, can't you say less?"

"You're old, and you have a bad tongue. Can't you just shut up?"

"Besides, once lard is rendered, everyone eats it anyway!"

Zhong Meixian opened her mouth, "...I, I didn't say anything."

She's just stingy with money.

After all, it's not easy for a family to save up some money.

Wen Tang is young. If she doesn't advise her against it, and he has one child and two children, how will he manage in the future?

Seeing the old lady's aggrieved look, Wen Tang didn't want to make things too difficult for her, so she said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll earn this money back for you in the future, so you can live a life of luxury with me, and I'll never let you worry about money."

"I will also help you build a big red brick house and a big yard, so that your bottom won't freeze when you go to the toilet in winter."

At first, Zhong Meixian believed Wen Tang's words to some extent, but the more she heard, the more she felt that he was just trying to fool her.

Although she felt she was being tricked, the old lady still happily accepted the offer since her daughter-in-law had given her an out.

The old lady grinned and nodded, "Good, good, good!!!"

After Wen Tang and Chi Yue carried the lard into the kitchen, Zhong Meixian asked her daughter, "Do you believe what she said?"

Gu Jinfeng feigned ignorance, "Huh? What?"

"Build us a big red brick house."

"Mom, as long as you believe me, that's fine!"

Zhong Meixian "..."

She rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to her daughter.

Gu Jin smiled and reassured her, "No matter what, the child's intentions are good."

Zhong Meixian could only accept her fate, saying, "It's all thanks to my sweet talk."

Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to survive even a single day.

She won't hit you unless you provoke her.

If someone likes to curse, they might utter a curse at any time. If someone of this age has to endure being cursed by their daughter-in-law, how can anyone survive?

The lard was useful, so Wen Tang and Chi Yue carried it into the kitchen and put it away before coming out.

Wen Tang asked, "Auntie, come to our house for dinner tomorrow. I'll render lard, and Xiao Yue will make pork crackling and cabbage buns."

Speaking of cabbage, Gu Jin pointed to the basket she had brought over and said, "Then the basket of vegetables I brought over was just lucky."

As Gu Jin spoke, she asked Gu Jinfeng to fetch a clean basket. After emptying the bok choy she had brought, she said, "I'm going back now, I won't sit down."

Gu Jinfeng then asked her to stay, saying, "Auntie, why don't you sit down for a while? You don't have anything to do back home."

Wen Tang also said, "I still have some melon seeds in my room, I'll bring them over, let's eat some for a while!"

Gu Jin smiled and shook her head, "I won't sit down. They've separated their families, I'd better go back and take a look."

"Separate the family?" Wen Tang's eyes lit up immediately.

"Who's splitting the family property?" She wanted to go see what was going on.

Gu Jinfeng told her, "It's Ancheng and the others who want to split up the family."

Wen Tang ran back into the house in a flash.

Then it "whoosh" ran out again.

The two large pockets on her clothes were filled with sunflower seeds. Then she hugged Gu Jin's arm, and Chi Yue took the basket from Gu Jin's hand.

"Auntie, I'll take you home."

"Grandma, I'll take you back."

They spoke at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

Gu Jin was thus escorted back to the Xu family.

Even with numerous witnesses invited, the Xu family has yet to properly divide its assets.

Even the pots and pans are a mess.

The Xu family only had two large iron pots; the remaining broken iron pot was given to Gu Jin.

Now, the three Xu brothers can't divide these two pots among themselves.

Squad leader Xu Zhongguo suggested, "Those who don't take the pots should get a larger share of the money, and use that money to buy their own food."

A cast iron pot costs about six yuan, so Xu Zhongguo said, "Then let's give the person who doesn't take the pot a subsidy of six yuan, since the pot is an old one."

As a result, both the eldest and second eldest children's families said: "The subsidies are too much. Otherwise, they would also want money, not the pot."

Xu Ancheng's wife also objected, "If you all contribute money, doesn't that mean each family is taking three yuan from our family?"

"That's not fair, is it?"

Just then, Xu Huaishan asked from the side, "What about mine?"

Xu Zhongguo: "..."

"Third Uncle, aren't you living with them?"

After Xu Zhongguo finished speaking, he noticed that the three Xu brothers all looked away.

Xu Zhongguo immediately shouted, "Whoever takes care of Uncle San in his old age, all the work points Uncle San earns belong to that family, and no one else can get a single point."

But no one said a word.

Xu Huaishan finally spoke up, "I won't live with them, but I'll still get my share of things. I'll have to take care of your third aunt with the work points I earn in the future."

Xu Zhongguo thought for a moment and nodded, "If you don't want that pot, then give it to Uncle San."

The eldest and second sons remained silent.

Xu Ancheng's wife, Zhang Fen, wanted to say something, but she was holding a baby who couldn't walk yet, so she didn't say anything in the end.

Other people's children are all grown up, they can do whatever they want and go wherever they want. She can't take a child out to buy a pot, so she'll just keep the old pot. Buying a new pot would cost her a few cents more!

A few cents is enough to buy cookies for the kids.

Once the pots and pans are sorted out, then comes the house, the grain, the chickens raised at home, and the vegetables in the backyard.

They whispered and argued for a long time.

When Wen Tang and Chi Yue helped Gu Jin back, they were still arguing.

Gu Jin led Wen Tang and Chi Yue to the door of her small house and let them sit at the door and watch the excitement.

Wen Tang took out some melon seeds, and the three of them each took a handful, cracking them open while watching.

Then Gu Jin watched as they killed the extra chicken that couldn't be divided properly, chopping it up with a "crack".

While they were chopping, Xu Huaishan spoke up, "We need to chop it into four pieces, I want mine too."

Then a hen that had been raised for three years was chopped up.
