Chapter 101: Family Dinner
If it weren't for his brother-in-law's sake, he would have wanted to divorce this woman a long time ago. She was lazy and bad, she couldn't do anything, she ate everything without leaving any, and she was also a troublemaker. Not long after she came into the house, she had already disturbed the peace of the family.
Alas, the fourth brother was ruined by this vicious woman.
He stopped looking at the two annoying guys and looked at Lin Mujin, "Second brother, how do you think about dividing this family?"
Li was angry when he saw the old man like this. For decades, he always went to his second brother whenever he encountered a problem. Are you dead? Can't you make your own decisions?
How, how? Need to ask him?
Mu Jin nodded inside, saying that this division was indeed appropriate.
Seeing his second brother nod, Old Man Lin straightened his back again and continued, "It's cold now, so let's just settle the division first. As for moving out, we can talk about it in the spring when you have built your house."
"I listen to my father." Lin Dahai agreed immediately after hearing it, fearing that his father would change his mind if he was a little late. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. From now on, he will be the one who makes the decision. He is very happy just thinking about it.
"Dad, how can I not separate? I still want to stay with you and serve you for a few more years. Dad and Mom, please don't kick your son out!" Lin Dahe knelt down, speaking with tears in his eyes, looking like a filial son who couldn't leave his parents.
He would rather not share such a small amount of money. Li Cuihua was also desperately winking at the side, also thinking that it would be better not to share. This way of dividing is no different from leaving the house with nothing. Only a fool would agree to it.
Lin Dahai snorted coldly. Lao Si is really good at acting! Serving, serving until dawn? Don't want to go out and suffer! Do you really think that he is the only one who can calculate, and others are fools.
Lin Dachuan raised a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth. The fourth brother had no shame at all in order to take advantage.
Old man Lin's face turned from blue to purple, and then from purple to black.
If it had been before, he would have been so touched, but after these experiences, he finally understood. His youngest son was not a good person either.
It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed. When did the scholar he had devoted himself to nurturing become so crooked? Was he like this before, or did he learn bad things from his wife? He was more inclined to the latter. His youngest son used to be polite, sensible, and filial.
It is true that a good wife brings less trouble to her husband.
"Okay, get up. I've made up my mind. From now on, you and Cuihua should live a good life. This will be the greatest filial piety to me and your mother."
Li Dahe's face turned pale. What else could he say after his father said that? He really didn't want to share it. Most of the money earned by his second and third brothers was in the public treasury. Even if he didn't get a share of the daily dividends, he would have a share of the money in his mother's hands if the family was not divided.
Now if we divide the family, we can only have two or three rooms at the cheapest. Besides, with such a small piece of land and so much money, what can we do with it?
He sat slumped on the cold ground, regretting it so much that his intestines turned green. He accompanied Li Cuihua in making trouble, just because he wanted his parents to love him, and maybe he could get some benefits by making trouble. He never thought that he would make too much trouble and be separated from her.
Isn't this what they call "stealing a chicken but losing the rice"?
He didn't care much about these material possessions. His family provided him with food and shelter, so he didn't have to worry about anything. But it was Li Cuihua who kept telling him that they were poor and looked down upon. His three brothers were richer than the others, but they didn't even have money to buy clothes.
She also said that Yang bullied her, gossiped about her, and deliberately embarrassed him...
It was because of her instigation that he felt that his parents were unfair and biased, and that his brothers and sisters-in-law treated him harshly, so he quarreled with them.
A fierce look was cast at Li Cuihua, and she trembled with fear, not daring to look at her man again.
This really couldn't be blamed on her. How could she know that her father-in-law was so cruel that he would propose to split the family over a disagreement? If she had known, she would never have dared to make a scene even if she was beaten to death.
Who will cook after the separation? Who will wash the clothes? Where will the money come from? Does Lin Dahe look like someone who can work? She is not really stupid, so she would not know the benefits of living together.
She regretted it in her heart, but was it any use?
Now it's not a question of who to blame, the most important thing is to find a way to get more money. Li Cuihua stamped her feet anxiously, sweating in the cold weather. When the men talked about important things, she didn't dare to interrupt, and she winked at Li Dahe, the pig, but he didn't understand.
After discussing the division of the family, Lin Dachuan found the head of the village and asked him to write the division document.
Both Yang and Song looked happy. Without being told by their mother-in-law, they went to the kitchen to work.
The head of the village and the second uncle's family were all here, and since they were a separate family, they would definitely have to leave dinner for them in the evening. At least they had to prepare a table of wine for the old men to drink.
Lin Dashan's stomach had been growling for a long time, and he had rushed here without having lunch. Now that the matter was settled, he thought about how to escape, go home and have some fried fish and chicken, and have a couple of drinks.
"Brother, stay tonight and have a drink with Dad and Uncle. We brothers haven't gotten together for a long time."
As soon as Lin Dachuan finished speaking, Old Man Lin also said, "That's right, stay. You don't have anything to do now anyway. Eat dinner before leaving. Dachuan, go call the clan leader as well, so that there will be more fun."
Lin Dachuan resigned himself to his fate and went to call for help, muttering to himself, "Has his father gone mad? Today, the whole village came to watch the show, and in the end, the family was divided. Why didn't he feel ashamed and even invited people to drink? Is this a happy event?"
Lin Dashan:......
Okay, I told the driver to go home and tell his family so that they wouldn't worry about me, and then I turned back and was pulled aside by a few old people to chat.
Lin Dahe sat in the corner. No one noticed him and no one talked to him. He just sat there quietly, looking at the whole family with a changing expression.
Li didn't want to move. The old man was getting confused. Was this kind of thing worth celebrating? But no, no matter what, she was the mistress. The old man said he wanted to treat her, so she had to give him face. Holding back her anger, she walked slowly to the kitchen.
The driver came back very quickly, in the time it took to stick an incense stick, and brought back a plate of fried fish nuggets, a plate of fried pork ribs, a fried chicken, a bunch of tender greens, two eggplants, and two jars of wine.
It wasn't that they were generous, but they heard about the separation suddenly, and there were so many people, so they were afraid that there wouldn't be enough food in the old house. If there weren't enough food, Lin Dashan would be hungry, and they thought that Lin Dashan hadn't eaten lunch, so they felt sorry for him, so they brought so many dishes.
Lin Dashan was deeply moved when he saw it. Just as he said he would go home to eat these, his wife and daughter brought them to him.
When the dishes were brought to the kitchen, Li and her two daughters-in-law were surprised to see the green leafy vegetables. They had heard from their third son that Fuqing Restaurant sold green leafy vegetables that were only available in spring and that they were more expensive than meat. They had never expected that their stepson also had them.
Today is a temporary treat, they can take it out, what does it mean, it means they eat it every day. Looking at the chicken and meat in my hand, I can't help but sigh that my stepson's family eats really well every day, and they can fill a table with just a few.
Song also touched the green vegetables. They were so tender. She didn’t feel it in spring, but now, when she suddenly saw them, she actually wanted to eat them.
Look, there’s only enough for one plate, no portion for them.
"Sister-in-law is too stingy. How can anyone eat just this handful?"
Yang was greedy and wanted to eat everything. Li glared at her and said, "You greedy bitch, all you do is eat, eat, eat!"
