Chapter 303 How to Divide
"The eldest son and the younger son are the sons, isn't the second son not the sons? It's not a punishment for doing this~"
"..."
The villagers were chatting, making Madam Zhu very embarrassed. Madam Zhu scolded the onlookers, "It's the turn of outsiders to intervene in the affairs of our Zhu family. I can do whatever I like."
"Hehe, Aunt Zhu, what you said, we are not nosy, we just can't see it. If you are like this, I will see who would dare to marry someone as unreasonable as you in the future. Your third child is not married yet. Right? The grandson still has to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, right? The granddaughter still needs to be married? Don't make your reputation bad."
When someone said that, Mrs. Zhu was really scared.
In the village, other things are not important, but reputation is still very important. If someone is spreading rumors, it will really be troublesome for the Zhu family to marry a daughter-in-law and a daughter in the future.
Madam Zhu frowned. She was forced by these nosy people. Now that she doesn't want to share things, she has to give Zhu Erhu some.
Zhu Erhu said, "Mother, I don't want any more. Just give me one room in our house, so that Laner, I, and a few children can have a place to stay. There are six acres of paddy fields in the family, two Mu of dry land, give me one mu of paddy fields, half an mu of dry land, and the rest for my eldest brother and third brother.”
In this way, Zhu Erhu doesn't have much. If it is true that the families are divided equally, there will be more than that.
"Aunt Zhu, Erhu doesn't want much, you have to give it, right?"
Madam Zhu didn't speak, but looked at Zhu Daniel and asked Zhu Daniel's opinion.
Although this requirement sounds like nothing, Zhu Daniu still feels that he has suffered a loss if he calculates it carefully.
"Second brother, you also know that the third brother is still studying, and the cost of a year's school can be two taels of silver. When the family is not divided, we will pay out together. If the family is divided, you have to pay half of it, right?"
After Zhu Daniu finished speaking, some villagers snorted, "Your third child will also share this share of the land. Does he get a little bit of the annual income from the field to Erhu? It's not obvious that Erhu even shares half of it. Bullying?"
"That's right, bullying people doesn't do that."
Zhu Daniel was blushing again when he was confronted, and no one else gave him a chance to fight his own wishful thinking.
So someone proposed, "I think Erhu will share one-third of the money. In fact, if the family is divided, even if they don't share the cost, it is understandable. Aunt Zhu, if Erhu shares the third, then Can this family be divided like this?"
"This······"
The old lady of the Zhu family still didn't know what to say, she couldn't calculate these accounts herself, but looked at Zhu Daniel.
Zhu Daniu summed it up. If Zhu Erhu could share one-third of the expenses of his third brother, that would be enough, and the other one-third would be enough for the annual harvest of the fields shared by his three brothers.
The people in the village were watching the separation, so they couldn't bully Zhu Erhu too much.
In fact, after thinking about it carefully, if he waited for his third brother to get married and split up the family, then there would not be so many fields that he could get.
So Zhu Daniu nodded and said, "That's okay, if the second brother can share one-third of my third brother's tuition, then that's how it is."
Zhu Erhu did not respond immediately, but first asked Mulan's opinion.
