CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 178: SINGLE-HANDEDLY FORCING THE HE FAMILY TO SPLIT UP EARLY

After He Sanqiang gave the money away, his eldest son and daughter-in-law didn’t show a bit of displeasure on their faces.

Second son He Jian Country also had no major emotional changes, only second daughter-in-law Gao Yumei stared at the money in the hands of the two younger brothers-in-law. Three hundred and sixty out of six hundred went away in an instant, her heart was bleeding.

He Sanqiang looked at the money in his hand: "With the remaining 240 yuan, your mother and I will keep forty, and your family will split fifty."

As he spoke, he counted the money and handed it to them: "As for the house, you guys will have to squeeze in with us old folks for now, Yuejin, check how things are with your partner’s side, if it can be settled, the wedding room should also be tidied up."

The eldest son’s eleven-year-old son, He Xudong, and nine-year-old son, He Xubei, are now not at home, probably they won’t even imagine that after playing outside, they’ll come home to find their sleeping places moved.

After speaking, He Sanqiang looked at the eldest granddaughter He Xunan and five-year-old second granddaughter He Jiahui, somewhat torn but quickly made a decision: "Since the family has been divided, then vacate the house. Didn’t the second daughter-in-law say to temporarily borrow the clutter room from Third? Then you two families tidy it up and let the two girls move there."

The eldest son’s couple didn’t mind; they had planned to let their little daughter He Xunan move into their room.

But Gao Yumei from the second family protested: "Dad, Jinxuan doesn’t come back often, leaving the room empty is still empty, can’t we let Xunan and Jiahui live there first?"

He Sanqiang looked at the second son: "What do you think?"

He Jian Country was actually a bit torn about this matter too. He wasn’t trying to take over his younger brother’s room, he just thought if he let his daughters live in the clutter room, then that room must undergo a major overhaul. Besides, there’s a lot of random clutter piled up in that room now, he’s somewhat distressed.

He was thinking about how he should respond when he heard Big Brother He Jiefang say: "Since the family has been divided, then we can’t occupy Jinxuan’s room anymore. He always needs a place to stay when he comes back, not to mention he’s not getting any younger, maybe soon enough he’ll meet a suitable Miss to marry."

After speaking, he looked at He Jinxuan: "But the house isn’t that spacious, Xunan and Jiahui are growing up day by day, they need their own space. My second brother and I won’t be polite to you, we’ll tidy up that clutter room in the next few days to let them move there."

Unexpectedly, Gao Yumei popped up again: "Big Brother, you’re being too unfair, previously I put aside the embarrassment to borrow the clutter room from Third Brother, I was planning to let Jiahui and Jiaming live there, you’re really taking advantage."

He Jiefang’s face darkened after hearing this: "Since Second Sister-in-law said so, then let’s pretend I didn’t say anything."

Looking at the younger daughter beside his wife: "Xunan, later dad will arrange a small bed for you in our room, and pull up a curtain, how does that sound?"

He Xunan was very understanding: "I’ll listen to dad’s arrangements."

He Jian Country’s personality was always a step behind, now he felt his face burning: "Big Brother, she’s just babbling, Jiaming is only two years old, she would never be at ease letting him stay with Jiahui."

He coldly looked at Gao Yumei: "Are you not satisfied until you offend everyone in the family?"

If Big Brother really didn’t let Xunan go live together, fixing up the clutter room would become a matter for their second family alone. In the past, he thought Gao Yumei had a clever streak, but now it seems, she is somewhat stupid.

He Jinxuan had been observing everyone’s performance at home, this time besides Second Sister-in-law Gao Yumei, everyone else performed quite well. Second Brother had his own thoughts, but he was relatively sensible, just always slow to act.

As for pots, pans, and dishes, He Jinxuan expressed he wouldn’t participate. He Sanqiang took charge, dividing them into four parts, lacking items each family should procure on their own.

Finally, He Sanqiang looked at several sons: "As for elder care, I have a retirement pension, no need for you all to give tribute money, just exchange holiday gifts based on your wishes.

However, if we old folks get sick, all of you families must share the cost and take turns caring."

Seeing the sons had no objections, the family division came to an end.

Soon, Director Sun completed the family division documents, creating five copies, all were signed with fingerprints by the He Family, Director Sun and several neighbors also signed and printed.

He Sanqiang emphasized several times for them to exchange the household registers and property certificates tomorrow, the brothers agreed to take leave in the morning to handle it.

To thoroughly help, Director Sun had a classmate working at the housing bureau and left his classmate’s name with the He Family, so they could find him when handling procedures.

Up until now, the matter was considered concluded, Second Sister-in-law of the He Family single-handedly caused the He Family to break up earlier.

The He Family initially wanted to keep a few witnesses for lunch, but all of them found excuses to leave, He Sanqiang had no choice but to say they would gather at the state-run restaurant for drinks another day, and then sent them out the door.

Just after dividing the family, everyone’s mood was bad, He Jinxuan didn’t even talk to his mom about going over to help take care of the two kids, not wanting to stay home looking at Second Sister-in-law’s face, so he entrusted the matter to Big Brother and found an excuse to leave the He Family with the two kids.
