Chapter Thirteen Gains and Losses

"Liu Ji, you can't do this. You have to voluntarily divide the family. If you want to take more, they must nod and agree. As a village elder, I don't favor anyone just because I want to, so this old man can't separate the family!"

When Huang Xianglao saw this, he stood up and was about to leave. Hao Chunmei saw him and stopped him quickly.

"Mr. Huang Xiang, you can't just leave. We are all counting on you this time when we separate!" Hao Chunmei said to Mr. Huang Xiang.

"You guys... you will divide your own things later. Your money, food, yard, house, pots and pans, bedding, etc. will all be divided. How to divide them? What are your personal things? I can be fair.

If there are any more unrealistic ideas, I think there is really no need to divide this company!" Mr. Huang Xiang said very directly.

Liu Ji and Hao Chunmei were silent. They wanted to drive Liu Gu and Liu Xin out, and it was natural that they had to drive them out. This was obviously not possible with Mr. Huang Xiang alone. Liu Xin was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"This family must be divided. We will give them at most five acres of our 20 acres of cultivated land, and we have to keep half of the 40 acres of rented land." Hao Chunmei said angrily.

"What about this courtyard? If you don't divide the courtyard, this means that the family doesn't have any. The two of them can't live without a place!" asked Mr. Huang Xiang.

"Two of us will occupy the three mud huts, and the remaining four will be divided between the two of them," Hao Chunmei said.

"Does the family have enough food and money?" Mr. Huang Xiang continued.

"The most they can get for food is ten dan, and they don't have a penny for money..."

Hao Chunmei, Liu Ji, and Huang Xiang discussed in the house. Liu Xin took all the silver and all the copper coins with him. Regardless of whether the family can be divided later, he will definitely not stay in this house.

Either he paid back 10,000 yuan, and Liu Xin planned to buy a small courtyard in the county, so that the money he had would be enough for him to start a small business near the market, which would be better than here.

In fact, what he values ​​​​is the 30 acres of wasteland at home. Building a manor there, raising chickens and being close to the river are also close to the river. Liu Xin will slowly buy up all the land on that hill, which is a very good choice.

Those lands were newly reclaimed wasteland and could be bought back with a little money. Liu Xin saw the mountain yesterday. It was only about twenty meters high, and three hundred acres of terraced fields could be developed around it.

After a while, Liu Gu came outside Liu Xin's house, and Liu Xin heard footsteps walking out of the house.

"Third brother, the eldest brother must separate from us. Mr. Huang Xiang must be fully committed to the eldest brother. What should we do later?" Liu Gu looked at Liu Xin and said worriedly.

"Actually, I think it's good to separate our families. I don't want to live in this thatched house anymore.

The eldest brother didn't want to be blamed for driving us out. He just gave us some things and wanted to divide the family. How could it be that easy?

Let’s talk later if we can. If we can’t, let’s not talk. Brother, it’s not for nothing that Mr. Huang Xiang was invited here. He is more anxious than us. In the future, you don’t have to hand over the money anymore, and it won’t make you happy if you do.

Hot brother and sister-in-law have such a cannibalistic heart." Liu Xin said to Liu Gu.

Liu Gu nodded. He was an honest man. In the past few years, all the money he earned for his family was given to his sister-in-law. In the end, he lost nothing.

"By the way, I have something to ask you. I want some livestock manure on the farm. Can I buy some?" Liu Xin said.

"How much do you want for the excrement? I'll pick up some of it when the time comes." Liu Gu returned.

"I want a lot!"

"What do you want with so much livestock manure?" Liu Gu couldn't help but asked curiously.

"You will know this when the time comes. You go to the village and ask. I will get the excrement back and I will give you money." Liu Xin said.

"Brother, what money did you say..."

The two of them were talking. Hao Chunmei came out of their house: "The two uncles are talking! Your eldest brother has thought about it. The division of this family cannot just be divided by land. Mr. Huang Xiang told your eldest brother, if there is anything we can come in slowly

talk!"

Liu Xin wanted to separate the family more quickly than anyone else. He got up and entered his eldest brother's room, and Liu Gu followed him.

"Liu Xin, Liu Gu, I just told your elder brother, and he has figured it out. The land, house, house, and food of each family will be divided. I will serve as a notary for you today. I can't let you blame me in the future!

"Mr. Huang Xiang said it nicely.

"That's the truth. When Mr. Huang Xiang said that our family is divided, we brothers can trust you!" Liu Xin said with a smile.

"I asked your eldest brother, your family doesn't have much, mainly the 20 acres of farmland and the 30 acres of wasteland on the mountain.

Of the 50 acres of land, your eldest brother has 15 acres, and you two brothers have 35 acres. There are six houses in the family, two for each person, and a two-acre yard. Your eldest brother's family of three should get more, one acre for him, and half an acre for each of you. What do you think?

?" said Mr. Huang Xiang.

"The harvest of those 30 acres of wasteland in one year is not as good as that of five acres of cultivated land. I only want ten acres of cultivated land at home!" Liu Gu said hurriedly after hearing this.

"Mr. Huang Xiang, since you are a notary, why don't you be fair? Let the eldest brother tell you how much food the family still has. I will divide it first. The eldest brother can choose first, and the second brother will choose later. How about it?"

After Liu Xin told Mr. Huang Xiang, he looked at Liu Ji. Whether the family can be separated today depends on the final attitude of the eldest brother. It has reached this point. Even if the family is not separated, the three brothers cannot live together.

"We don't have a penny at home, so the food is just what we have in my mother's house," Liu Ji said.

"Sooner or later, the entire village will know about today's separation. Brother, if you do this, I think you will definitely leave a bad reputation on the village. Now that things have happened, I don't want to stay in this family anymore.

You and your second brother each have 10 acres of the 20 acres of farmland at home, and you can give me the 30 acres of uncultivated land on the mountain. The 40 acres of rented land will be divided equally between you two.

I don’t want the yard either. Each of you has three of the six houses. One of the three mud houses must be given to the second brother.

Each of you will have half of the yard, the food at home will be divided into three parts, and when the second brother reaches the age of marriage, you will give the second brother another 5,000 yuan. What does the elder think of this split?" Liu Xin asked.

"Liu Xin understands justice well. The old man thinks this method is good. Liu Ji, what do you think?" Huang Xiang asked Liu Ji happily after hearing this.

"No, I can only give my second son five acres of farmland at most, and we only have 3,000 yuan." Hao Chunmei came in from outside the house at this time and shouted loudly.

After Liu Xin heard this, he stood up and was about to leave. At this time, Huang Xianglao grabbed him and looked at Liu Ji.

"Okay, just follow what the third child said, but my family doesn't have that much money now, so I can only give 3,000 yuan first." Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said.

"Third brother, are you like this..." Liu Gu looked at Liu Xin and asked in surprise. Liu Xin basically left the house alone.

"I'm fine. I don't like farming. Give me good land and I can farm wasteland! I plan to build a yard on the wasteland, and I will move out when the house is built," Liu Xin said.

"In this case, the family is divided. I will draw up a contract. If there are no problems, the three of you will sign it. No one can regret it in the future." Mr. Huang Xiang took a bamboo slip and wrote on it the division of the three brothers.

In the content of the house, it only states how much stuff the two brothers took out. It doesn't look like a separation, but a condition for the two brothers to leave.
