Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 42
Father Li thought for a while when he heard this and said, "My child will definitely not have any thoughts in his heart."

The third uncle continued, "Let's just say that your eldest son and second son's monthly salary is more than 40 yuan and more than 20 yuan respectively.

You said that your second son is taking advantage of your eldest son, doesn't your eldest son have any ideas? "

Father Li thought for a while when he heard this and said, "You can't say that, you just talked about money but you didn't talk about the relationship between them."

When the third uncle heard this, he immediately said, "No matter how deep the relationship is, there will be rifts due to interests, are you right?"

While Father Li was thinking, the aunt brought the dishes.

The uncle said, "Why do you want to be so complicated? Let's eat first."

When Li Lin's father returned home, his face was thoughtful.

Seeing Father Li's appearance, Li's mother said, "Why go to have a meal, what's wrong with eating?"

Father Li didn't expect that it was his own joke that caused Father Li's next words.

"Do you think our family should be separated?"

Mother Li was a little surprised when she heard this and said

"Where did you get this idea?"

Father Li said, "Each son has already married and established a household, but their incomes are different.

And the money they hand over to their families has a great relationship with their wages.

Isn't this unfair to the children who earn more? "

Mother Li heard this and said, "But which family doesn't do this?"

Li Lin's father said, "I'm not afraid that as time goes by, the relationship between their brothers will crack.

And it's not like you don't know that the boss's daughter-in-law complains about paying so much salary to the family."

Li's mother thought for a while and said, "Or in the future, they can only pay for food expenses, and let them control the rest freely."

Father Li heard this and said, "This is indeed a good idea. Call them over quickly and we will announce this matter to them."

Mother Li said, "I'm announcing this at night, because Li Lin and Ruoyan have already gone to Ruoyan's family."

Father Li said with some confusion, "Why did he go to Ruoyan's parents' house for no reason?"

Li's mother heard this and said, "It's not that the third brother's second brother-in-law married a daughter-in-law, and then Ruoyan wanted to go back to see his second sister-in-law, and then the third brother went with him."

Father Li didn't speak when he heard this.

At this time, Li Lin was driving Xiao Ruoyan to the village.

After a while, they came to the village.

At this time, everyone in the Xiao family was discussing things.

Father Xiao said to his second son Xiao Zhengbei
"Recently, that He Hong didn't pester you anymore, right?"

Xiao Zhengbei said, "No, I'm afraid she has given up."

Father Xiao heard this and said, "This is the best way, remember that you are not allowed to have any contact with her in the future."

Xiao Zhengdong said, "Dad, don't worry, I've already figured it out."

At this moment there was a knock on the door.

Father Xiao said loudly, "The door is unlocked, just come in."

Xiao Ruoyan and Li Lin walked in.

As soon as Xiao Ruoyan came in, she saw Wang Jiying and said, "This is my second sister-in-law, she looks so pretty."

When Mother Xiao heard this, she said, "Not only is she good-looking, but she is also hardworking. She helped with many things in the house."

Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law was a little embarrassed when she heard this. Since Wang Jiying came, she felt that she had rarely done any work.

Father Xiao said, "Why are you back? What's the matter?"

Li Lin said, "It's not that Ruoyan wanted to come back to see what her second sister-in-law looks like, so I came back with her."

After that, Father Xiao chatted with Li Lin about life in the city.

Xiao Ruoyan, his second sister-in-law, and Xiao's mother came to a room alone to communicate.

Father Xiao said, "I heard from your grandfather that you are now a technician in the factory."

Li Lin said "Yes"

Father Xiao immediately became interested when he heard this

"So now that you have become a technician, can you repair tractors?"

Li Lin said, "I don't seem to have learned anything about this."

Father Xiao heard this and said, "There is a tractor in our production team, but it is broken. It has been broken for about a year or two."

Li Lin said, "Didn't the higher ups send someone to fix it?"

Father Xiao said, "The higher-ups also sent people here, but they couldn't find the specific reason."

Xiao Ruoyan said to her second sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, how is my brother treating you?"

Wang Jiying thought for a while about Xiao Zhengbei's behavior towards him and said, "Maybe it was because he was not familiar with him at the beginning, but after gradually getting familiar with him, he treated me very well."

While they were chatting, Wang Jiying saw Xiao Ruoyan's watch and said, "Did your husband buy this watch for you?"

Xiao Ruoyan looked at the watch in her hand and said, "He gave this to me on my wedding day."

When Xiao Ruoyan said this, there was an indelible smile on his face.

Xiao's mother looked at the watch on Xiao Ruoyan's hand and said, "Ruoyan, you really married the right person. Your husband is a man who knows how to love others.

At first I was a little reluctant to let you marry him, but now I see that your life is so good, I feel relieved."

From Mother Xiao's point of view, Xiao Ruoyan's complexion is much better than before, which is obviously a characteristic of a good life.

Wang Jiying said, "I heard that your man is a buyer in the factory?"

Xiao Ruoyan said, "He is no longer a buyer, he is a technician now"

Wang Jiying said, "It's good to be a technician, relying on technology to make a living"

After staying for a while, Li Lin and Xiao Ruoyan went home.

Li Lin said, "Come back, what do you think your second sister-in-law is like?"

Xiao Ruoyan said, "I feel like he is a very good person. He should live well with my brother."

It was just after dinner time when Li Lin and Xiao Ruoyan came back.

Mother Li said, "There is some food for you in the kitchen. Just go and heat it up."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyan went to the kitchen to heat up the dishes and served them to Li Lin.

After seeing Li Lin finished eating, Li's mother said, "Go and call your elder brother and second brother. I have something to discuss with them at home."

Li Lin was a little confused, but he went to call his elder brother and second brother over, and the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law came with them.

Mother Li watched the two of them coming over and said

"The two of you are going to give birth soon, you should stay in your respective rooms and have a good rest."

Li Lin's sister-in-law said, "We are part of the family, and we must be there to discuss matters at home."

Li's mother heard this and said, "That's good."

Seeing everyone arriving, Li's father said:

"You are all grown up, the oldest is 27 or [-] years old, and you have already married and established businesses, and the family doesn't care much about your wages anymore.

I discussed it with your mother and decided that you only need to pay the food expenses, and you can keep the rest for your own use.”

Just when Father Li finished speaking.

Li Lin's sister-in-law said, "Then we don't pay the food expenses, can we cook at home?"

Li Lin's sister-in-law's words immediately surprised everyone in the family.

Mother Li heard this and said, "It's not impossible, but it's better for everyone to get together and eat together."

Li Lin's sister-in-law said, "I want to be alone with Li Shan from the food at home."

Li Lin's sister-in-law originally wanted to wait for a showdown with Li's father and mother after she gave birth.

But she didn't expect Li's father and Li's mother to have such an idea, so she simply told his parents about her thoughts in advance.

Father Li glanced at Li Shan who was silent. How could he not know that this was something Li Shan and his wife had discussed in advance.

He also understood that if they did not cook and eat together, Li Shan and his wife would definitely live a better life than they do now. Perhaps this is the reason why the two of them wanted to separate from home alone.

Li's mother did not expect that the decision made by him and Li's father would have such a result.

Li Lin's father said, "The eldest brother is getting older, and it's time to leave the house."

Hearing this, Li Shan quickly said, "Father, I don't think so, I just..."

Li Lin's father stopped the boss's words and said, "I understand your father, you are now married and start your own business, and you can live well without the help of your family.

It’s also time for you to take care of the lives of your own families alone.”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't understand that Li Lin's father was going to separate the family at this moment.

Li He's daughter-in-law is the person in the family who is most unwilling to separate. You must know that Li He's salary in the family is the lowest now, and she also receives the most help from the family.

Li Lin's second sister-in-law said, "Isn't it good for our family to live a good life? Why should we separate?"

Father Li said, "It must be divided. Third brother, please go and invite the first, second and third uncles in the yard to come over."

From Father Li's point of view, now that cracks have grown, it is better to resolve this matter earlier, otherwise the relationship between the brothers will be tested later.

Li Lin hesitated at this time.

Li Lin's father saw that Li Lin hadn't moved yet and urged, "Why don't you hurry up?"

When Li Lin heard this, he quickly got up and went to find the three uncles.

When Li Lin left, the family fell into silence.

Li Lin knocked on the uncle's door in a bad mood.

The uncle opened the door and found that it was Li Lin who said, "Li Lin, what do you want me to do?"

Li Lin adjusted his mood and said

"My family wants to ask you to be a witness."

The first man said with some confusion, "Witness?"

Li Lin brought the three uncles into his home.

As soon as the third uncle came in, he said, "Lao Li, I just want to talk to you about my thoughts today. Why are you going to separate the family?"

Father Li glanced at Li Lin's sister-in-law and said, "The hearts of the people in the family are already inconsistent, so it's better to separate them as soon as possible."

Li Lin's sister-in-law bowed her head in shame when she heard this. If she had to say that she was the most loved by her father-in-law and mother-in-law in this family.

Because her parents and Li's father and Li's mother are very good friends, and she can also be said to have been seen by Li's father and Li's mother since childhood.

But these can't stop her desire to separate, after all, she wants the children in her belly to have better living conditions.

And she also knew that as long as she gave birth to the child, Li's father and Li's mother would definitely take care of the child, and would not treat the child badly because of herself.

The uncle said, "Lao Li, have you really decided to divide?"

Li Lin's father nodded solemnly and said

"Minute!"

The second uncle said, "How will your family decide to divide it?"

Li Lin's father thought for a while and said

"Boss, I want to share those things in the house equally with you three brothers, do you have any ideas?"

The reason why Father Li has such a problem is because the oldest one in the family is the first to work, and among the three brothers, the one with the highest salary is also the oldest one.

Li Shan heard this and said, "I don't have any ideas."

Li Shan now feels sorry for his parents and brothers.

After all, it was because of him that this happened.

Li Lin's father continued to speak, "Where is your daughter-in-law?"

Li Lin's sister-in-law heard this and said, "I have no objection."

At this time, Li Lin's sister-in-law was also a little ashamed.

Li Lin's father said, "Xiu, I took all the bills and money in the house and divided them equally among the three brothers."

Under the witness of the three uncles, Li's mother divided the money into three shares and distributed it to the three Li Lin brothers.

Li Lin's father said, "As for food, bowls and chopsticks, you can take them from home tomorrow."

After being silent for a while, Li Lin's father continued, "As for your mother and I, the third child will be responsible for taking care of us in old age.

Third brother, your mother and I will trouble you in the future. You won’t think that your mother and I will trouble you two in the future, right?"

Hearing this, Li Lin hurriedly said

"will not"

Li Lin's second sister-in-law wanted to speak when she heard this, but in the end she didn't.

Li Lin's second sister-in-law most hopes that her father-in-law and mother-in-law will live with her, because the combined salary of her father-in-law and mother-in-law is very high, which can greatly relieve the pressure on his family.

But here they are basically young sons to support their parents, so parents love their young sons the most.

Otherwise, Li Lin's radio and bicycle would be shared by the family before the family was separated, instead of belonging to Li Lin's family alone.

Father Li continued, "Then I would like to trouble Third Uncle to write a certificate regarding the separation of the family."

The third master heard this and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

After the third master wrote the certificate of separation, everyone put their fingerprints on it.The separation of the family is also completely over.

After the three elders left, Li Lin's father said, "Tomorrow is Sunday, so I can just move your household registration out."

So everyone returned to their respective rooms in this oppressive atmosphere.
