Leisurely little peasant woman 009 divided house and land
Divorce isn't that easy to divide either. In order to get this matter sorted out, the various elderly family members who had been waiting at the door were finally invited into the room.
As the oldest of the Liang family, he didn't have a chance to speak up. The elders told everything about the division of property to Liang Tietou and Liang Man Cang's children instead.
Third Uncle sighed first.
"Now the outside is chaotic, our old wolf den is in the mountain valley, but it can't be avoided and was also affected. Not to mention other things, just say that this time the Turkic soldiers came to rob us, everyone's food is gone, more than a dozen people died in the village, even Li Zheng's child is gone...... Ah......"
Liáng Tián tián just found out that it wasn't just their family who had died, but rather over a dozen people in the village.
This small village has only a few dozen households.
In chaotic times, human life is indeed worthless.
Liang Tian Tian tightly grasped the small hands of Qiu Qiu, making up her mind that no matter what, she must take good care of these few children. This was what Liang Tian Tian should do after being reborn.
"Now that you both agree to separate, let's discuss this matter properly." Third Uncle waved his hand, "Chen Chong, your brother is the village head, and you also know about village affairs. How do you think the Liang family should handle this? You come and tell us."
Chen Chong is now the oldest person in the Chen family and one of the village elders, who was also the thin old man who helped speak for the four children of the Liang family. He is currently the only child prodigy in the village, unfortunately, he has never passed the imperial examination to become a scholar, and as he grew older, he gradually lost interest, but still devoted himself to studying. Fortunately, the Chen family's financial situation is not bad, and they can afford to buy books for him to read.
"Third Uncle, you're here, I don't have a say in this matter, let's just leave it to you to handle the division of the family property." Chen said with courtesy. This wasn't entirely because Third Uncle was senior in age, but also because he wasn't interested in these matters and didn't have the heart to take over his elder brother's position as head of the household.
"Alas, I'm old and my eyes are dim. You'd better take care of it." Third Uncle was also shirking responsibility.
It's not that neither side wants to help, but rather a polite courtesy.
Liang Tiechui stared at the two old men chatting back and forth about their own affairs, but he himself couldn't get a word in edgewise. Suddenly, he felt very powerless. Fortunately, he hadn't lost his wits entirely and knew when to speak up and when not to.
At last, after much pushing and shoving, Chen Chong said: "Third Uncle, I'll speak first. If there's anything wrong, you can say so afterwards."
Third Uncle nodded, "We all trust Chen Chong to handle things."
"It's all right, it's all right, just go ahead and say it." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Liang Tian and his three siblings stood quietly on one side waiting for the outcome.
"I'll say something big for you all to discuss, if there's anything you disagree with, you can speak up later." Chen Chong said this to the siblings Liang Tietou and Liang Tiannan.
"Please speak, Grandfather Chen. We're all listening." said Liang Man Cang. In a village where everyone lives together, even if they are not closely related, they still address each other as relatives.
Chen Chong looked at Liang Tietou again, "Tietou, what do you think?"
"Uncle, you handle it." The clan elders were all sitting here, so Liang Tietou didn't dare to have an opinion.
Chen Chong nodded and said: "Are you guys thinking of a big split or a small split? You gotta give me an exact answer."
Does the division of property also involve major and minor divisions?
Liáng Tián looked at him in confusion. Seeing that Liáng Wáng was also bewildered, he became even more perplexed.
Chen Chong saw that everyone was puzzled, and slowly said: "This small share is the big house separated from the big house, and the big share is the two sons of the Liang family who have divided the house." When he said this, he looked at Liang Tiechui with a deep meaning. The two sons of the Liang family did not include him, and Liang Wangshi had given birth to another son, Liang Shoulin, after marrying into the Liang family.
As it happens, I didn't see that silly little kid either.
Originally, all family members should have been present when dividing the house, but it's unclear whether it was intentional or not, everyone surprisingly neglected Liang Shoulin.
Liang Tiechui originally wanted to say "big share", but as soon as he thought of the words of "second son", he immediately became disheartened. He glanced at Liang Wangshi and reluctantly said: "Small share." I guess he wants to divide the third child, even his mother won't agree.
Liáng Tián and his family don't care about the big or small shares, as long as they can get their share.
Li Mangcang took a glance at his younger brother and sister and said: "We'll just have to split up." Others didn't bother to intervene either.
Chen Chong saw that neither side had any objections, so he said: "This house, everyone has seen it, the main house has two rooms and the wing has one room. The main house should be where the eldest son and the elderly live together. Now that the elder brother of the Liang family is gone, logically speaking, they should be living in this house..."
Before Chen Chong could finish speaking, Liang Wangshi, who had been listening in on the conversation with her ears perked up, was no longer willing to remain silent.
Let the eldest son of the Zhang family live in the main house, then where should this old lady go and live?
Women should not interrupt, now she can't afford to care about these things either.
"I'm telling you, Old Chen, that's not what you said. My husband, Old Liang, is indeed gone, but I'm still alive, aren't I? So how can this main house be occupied by someone else?" As she spoke, she glared at Chen Chong in a threatening manner, as if daring him to say something wrong.
Chen Chong furrowed his brow.
Why are men always talking while women are always interrupting when she was also a seven-year-old child?
"I haven't finished speaking, what's your hurry." Chen Chong's voice was icy, his tone filled with malice.
"Me..." Liang Wangshi was about to say something at home, but was interrupted and wanted to retort. After taking a clear look at the people sitting in the room, she finally stopped.
The people sitting in the room were all village elders, not a few from their own family, and no one would let her be bullied.
"The main house should logically be given to the eldest son of the first wife, but since Lady Liang is still alive, although she's not the official wife, she's still your elder, so this main house will be hers for now. After she passes away, whether this main house belongs to you or not, we can discuss then. However, logically speaking, the main house should belong to the eldest son of the first wife." He glanced at Liang Tietou.
Liang Tietou glared with his eyes and thought to himself: What do you think I'm doing? He's already occupied the main house, is he going to spit it out or something?
"Full house, this is all the room we have, you siblings will have to live in the outhouse, do any of you have anything to say?" Chen Chong was much gentler when dealing with the children.
They've been living in a wing room all along, and he still doesn't want to move.
Hearing this, Liang Man Cang nodded, "Old man Chen, we have nothing to say." He agreed.
The first battle was won, although there was a small episode but it didn't affect anything.
Chen Chong's mood is obviously not good.
"This is all they have besides the house, ordinary peasant families don't have anything else. The Liang family is considered a well-to-do family, and their land is over thirty mu, of which four mu are paddy fields and the rest are dry fields. Paddy fields are valuable, while dry fields are cheap. This is going to be divided equally, whether you want to split the paddy fields in half or whatever, it's up to you."
One mu of paddy field can catch up with two mu of dry land in terms of income, if it cannot be distributed evenly, then an effective charter must be taken out.
