Chapter 78 How to divide?
Du Yunyi was overjoyed, and knew that his father had no choice but to agree, so he hurriedly bowed his hands to Uncle Li and the others: "I would like to invite some of you to bear witness to our separation."

Du Jinning was also very happy.

She knew that once Du Yunyi made up his mind to separate the family, there was nothing Du Chensheng could do.

This family was supported by Du Yunyi, no matter what Du Chensheng did not dare to disobey the wishes of the eldest son, after all he also knew that relying on the second son would not be enough, and he would have to rely on the elder son in the future.Otherwise, the twenty acres of land alone would only be enough for the basic expenses of the old couple and the second wife.Du Chensheng had to see a doctor and take medicine every month, without Du Yunyi giving him money, he would not be able to survive.

Du Yunyi was separated out, and with Du Yinsheng's support behind him, their third wife would definitely be able to be separated out as well.Her planning for the past month after time travel was finally not in vain.

Seeing that everyone in the room was silent, Zhang Guangyi obviously agreed with the separation, so he cleared his throat and said, "Second Uncle Du, how do you plan to divide your family?"

Du Chensheng was silent for a while, then raised his eyes and looked at Du Yunyi: "Yunyi, you proposed this division, how do you want to divide it?"

He really intends to live with the eldest son, but if the eldest son is unwilling to have their old couple, then he will not be polite and will not distribute the property to Du Yunyi; but Du Yunyi is willing to take care of their old couple, and the property must be of another kind division method.

No matter how much Du Chensheng loves his son, he is also selfish, of course he has to take care of himself first.

Du Yunyi was not unfilial.In his opinion, he is the eldest son, and it is only natural to support his parents.Not to mention, both Du Jincheng and Du Jinde are still studying, and the most important thing in the test of merit is reputation.If he didn't support his parents, let others point fingers at Du Jincheng and his brothers, or even twist his mouth during the exam, then he would lose more than he gained.

He said: "I still say the same thing, if parents are willing to follow me, Mrs. Zhang and I, the children, and I will respect your two elders; if your two elders don't follow us, I will give you two liang of silver every month. There will also be filial piety during the New Year and holidays, but for the rest, the second brother has to serve you."

In the past, he had to pay Du Chensheng four taels of silver every month, but the food he ate in his small and big house was all produced in the family's fields, and the house he lived in was also under Du Chensheng's name. What the old house gave him was equal to what the old house gave him.

But Du Yunyi is the accountant, so he is the most shrewd in his calculations.In the future, Du Chensheng's health will get worse and worse, and Niu will also get sick as he gets older, so the money for medical treatment and medicine will increase; when the two of them pass away, there will be two big expenses.

If Du Chensheng didn't give him any property, then he wouldn't pay for these expenses.You are not benevolent and I am not righteous, that's how it is.But if Du Chensheng is willing to give him the house and give him some land, then he will give him two taels a month, the expenditure is less than before, but the income is the same, so he has earned it.Even if the second elder sees a doctor and takes medicine, birth, old age, sickness and death, he still has to bear what should be borne. This is no different from before, but the two big burdens of the second and third families are thrown away, which is more cost-effective.

Du Yunyi was pulling out his little abacus here, and Du Chensheng's old accountant had already opened his mind.

In the past when the families were not separated, he still thought about relying on the elder son for money, and the second son serving by his side, so that the two sides leaned on each other, and the arrangement was the most appropriate.But once the family is separated, the second son is obviously unreliable. If they are with the second son, could it be that he is old and old, and his old bones have to be used as a cow to support the second son and his family?If the second son can't change his ways, will he have to sell the land in his hand to pay off his gambling debt?In the end, will they still have to live in thatched huts, eat chaff and swallow vegetables, and be buried with a broken straw mat?As long as he followed his second son, he could imagine such an end.

But it's different with the eldest son...

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his cloudy eyes became much clearer.

He said: "In this way, the property under my name will be divided into two halves, half of which will belong to my old couple and the first wife, and half to the second and third children."

As he spoke, he looked at Du Yinsheng: "Brother, what do you think?"

Seeing that his younger brother was still taking care of the third room after the separation, Du Yinsheng was naturally happy, and nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good."

Du Chensheng looked at Zhang Guangyi: "That's it, please trouble me and I'm drawing up a document. Let's change the land deed and house deed in a few days." Then he called Du Jincheng, "Go to my room and bring the four treasures of the study."

"Father." Seeing that his father had left him alone, Du Yunian felt anxious, so he couldn't help calling out.

But Du Chensheng glared at him, and shouted: "Shut up, it's not your turn to speak here."

Du Yunnian had no choice but to flatten his mouth reluctantly.

His gambling debt is due tomorrow, and he is still counting on his father to come up with money to fill in the hole for him.At this time, he really didn't dare to make his father angry.

Besides, he is sure that his father still loves him very much, even if the family is separated, he will definitely take care of him and not let him have nothing to do with food and clothing.

Du Jincheng took out all the things and helped Zhang Guangyi sharpen the ink.

Zhang Guangyi dipped the pen on the ink in the inkstone, and said to Du Chensheng, "How do you write this document?"

"The house in the city falls under Yunyi's name; the upper house and thirteen acres of land in the countryside are written under my name. You write on the paperwork that I and Niu will be supported by the small big house, as long as there is no abuse. The act of losing support, after a hundred years from me, the house and field under my name will all belong to Yunyi, and no one else has the right to inherit it." Du Chensheng said.

Zhang Guangyi nodded and began to write on the paper.

Du Yunyi is also satisfied with this division.

It is rare for them to go back to the countryside once a year. The country house is useless and worthless, so it is reasonable to leave it to the second and third families, and it is still a family property, and the name is good.Thirteen mu of land was rented out, and the grain recovered was enough for their family.Most importantly, the most valuable house in the city is now in his name.

Seeing that the eldest son and Du Yinsheng didn't say anything, Zhang Guangyi wrote all these in black and white on the paper, and Du Chensheng was very satisfied.

He continued: "The east and west wings of the house here, as well as the [-] mu of land, are owned by the second and third bedrooms. They need to give us five taels of silver a year for maintenance for each of the two bedrooms. There is filial piety during festivals."

He paused slightly: "Now Brother Ning is not yet an adult and can't open a household, so the property of the third house will temporarily belong to Yunnian's name. After two years when Brother Ning becomes an adult, they want to divide it up."

After saying this, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
