Xie Changzheng thought that it was troublesome to live in the same house, so he proposed to exchange the shabby house for money.
Miao Fengmei severely suppressed the price and was only willing to give Xie Changzheng fifty yuan to let him build another house.
Although it is 1974 now, it is difficult to build a house for a family of three in the countryside with fifty yuan. Miao Fengmei’s behavior is clearly bullying Xie Changzheng’s honesty.
Miao Fengmei distributed the other pots, bowls, and utensils fairly according to the number of people, but no one would prepare a lot of bowls and plates these days, so the third branch of the Xie family could only get three sets of tableware.
There was no need to think about the chickens and ducks raised at home. Xie Changzheng only got six eggs that were said to be fertilized and two duck eggs. The 145 catties of food that originally belonged to Xie Wu and her daughter were also reduced to 100 catties.
As for cash, Miao Fengmei insisted that the family had a lot of expenses and only saved 500 yuan over the years. There were four children in the family, plus their two elders, so it was divided into five parts.
Xie Changzheng could only get about 100 yuan of it, and the medical expenses Miao Fengmei had given to Xu Chunxiu before had to be deducted. When the money reached Xie Changzheng, there were only about 50 yuan left.
Miao Dashan and the elders of the clan who were witnessing the distribution could not stand this way of distribution.
They think, if a mother is not kind, how can she expect her children to be filial?
Under pressure from Miao Dashan, when the family was separated this time, both parties also set the requirements for retirement support.
Since all the family property is divided equally, when it comes to retirement in the future, Xie Changzheng should naturally pay the same amount of support as his two brothers.
Before the two elders are 60 years old, Xie Changzheng does not need to pay a penny of support. If he is filial, he can just visit them during the holidays.
After the two elders are 60 years old, Xie Changzheng will provide 20 yuan and 30 catties of grain for support every year.
If the two elders are sick, the three brothers will share all the medical expenses.
All of these were recorded in black and white. Both parties involved put their fingerprints on the separation agreement, and Miao Dashan and others who served as witnesses also signed their names on it.
If there are any disputes in the future, they will be handled according to the details of the agreement.
In the countryside, they do not recognize any court laws, but only the agreement that they personally pressed their fingerprints on. Unless Miao Fengmei and others don’t care about their reputation anymore, they cannot violate the above agreement.
When leaving Xie’s house, Xie Changzheng was much more relaxed than outsiders imagined. Even this time, he was no different from leaving the house with nothing.
But they were his biological parents after all. Leaving them the property was a way to repay their kindness in raising him. If they had anything else in the future, he would be merciless.
Xie Changzheng walked home in a particularly relaxed manner. He opened the door and handed the separation agreement to his wife.
“It’s over now. We didn’t get much, but don’t worry, I will earn it for you and our daughter in the future.”
Xie Changzheng said sincerely, “Oh, now we have to add that little brat to the list.”
“Roar—”
Ah Wu went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The unrestrained wolf cub once again erupted with his animal nature. Looking at the male who was pointing his finger at him, the wolf cub lowered the front half of his body and let out a rumbling growl from his throat, his eyes alert, ready to attack at any time.
“Bad Fusheng, don’t yell at our Dad.”
Ah Wu heard from her mother that the boy would live with them in the future. He looked younger than her, so he had to call her sister. As a sister, Ah Wu felt that the burden on her was extremely heavy.
When she saw her brother yelling at their father, the little girl immediately frowned, patted the wolf cub’s head, and muttered in his ear like a little old lady.
“Awoo—”
The little wolf cub calmed down.
He didn’t understand what Ah Wu said, but he didn’t like Ah Wu patting his head. It would be better if Ah Wu could gently stroke the hair on his head like she did just now.
That was one of the few places on his body with abundant hair, and he considered it to be the most attractive part. The bald female beast favored this part of his body so much. Obviously, she liked him too.
“The two children get along well?”
Xie Changzheng looked at the quiet little wolf cub in surprise.
“It’s getting dark. I’ll give the child a bath. You go prepare some bedding for him. Just let him sleep alone for the next few days.”
Xie Changzheng stepped forward to untie the rope tied to the pillar and led the wolf cub to the well.
