When Mrs. Xu got off the carriage in the front yard of Chengenhou Mansion, she felt that her hands and feet were weak, her vision was dark, and her whole body seemed to have been hit hard. Her two sons had to work together to support her, so that she did not sit on the ground on the spot.

She was indeed hit hard because she had just witnessed the separation of the two families of the Xu family, and she was still a witness. The moment she signed her name on the separation agreement, she really wanted to pass out.

, but it’s impossible not to sign. Both members of the Xu family are begging her to sign, and it’s impossible to change the outcome of the family separation if she doesn’t sign. What can she do? If she signs, at least she forcibly adds a few requirements to the agreement.

Xu family members must abide by it. Even if the family is separated, they are still close relatives, and they can still live in harmony and help each other, instead of not having any contact with each other after the family separation.

But even so, Mrs. Xu was still heartbroken when she recalled the situation when the family was separated.

Many of the parents' bedroom and the second bedroom are separated, but they are separated but not living separately. In fact, the people in the two bedrooms originally lived in the east and west streets of the house, separated by walls and lanes, and connected to each other through small doors. If the families are separated but not living separately, they only need to

Just seal this small door, and the second bedroom can open a separate door facing the street, so that it can communicate with the outside world independently. It is not stupid for the second bedroom to do this. It will cost a lot of money to move to another house, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Money, the houses in the inner city of the capital are not cheap. They are used to living in their current residence. There is no need to move. They only need to expand the small kitchen that was originally a second room into a normal kitchen and adjust the use of some courtyards.

Already.

There was no objection from the elder's house, but Grandma Xu had a lot of resentment in her heart. She whispered a few gossips, saying that she could have left half of the second-bedroom house for her children and grandchildren, or rented it out to supplement the family income.

And so on. No one took her words seriously, so she just mentioned it casually once, and Xu Xiu pulled her sleeves and persuaded her in a low voice, and kept silent. As for the original garden being allocated to the eldest room, she

He just curled his lips and didn't say a word.

The residence was settled, and there was also the issue of property at home. In this regard, the two members of the Xu family fought fiercely and refused to give in. Although the two sisters-in-law were mainly fighting, their respective husbands also helped.

Looking at their red-faced fights, the onlookers - ah no, the witnesses all felt that even if the Xu family had not split up in the first place, after this fight, they would never be able to live under the same roof again.

Both parties seemed to be at loggerheads. How could they care about the flesh and blood ties? Look at the four younger generations, Xu Zheng, Xu Rong, Xu Xiu, and Xu Lan. Which one of them is not dumbfounded? After they have grown up, this is probably the first time they have seen each other.

Your elders look like they are sweeping the floor in a polite manner, right?

Xu Zheng later turned his head to admire the scenery outside the window, as if he didn't want to see the faces of his elders quarreling over property. Others were indifferent to this, and their attention was attracted by the two sides of the quarrel. Only Mr. Xu was extremely heartbroken.

Looking at the back of his great-nephew, he understood that this child's always noble character was probably under an unprecedented impact.

So, what kind of family should we divide into? And let the children see it, what good will it do to them? Xu Zheng is the hope of the Xu family, and the future of the Xu family, what if it affects his xinxing?

Thinking this with red eyes, Mrs. Xu ignored the dissuasion from the eyes of her two sons and forcibly entered into the family separation dispute, personally presiding over the separation of the property of the two families of the Xu family. Since she was the elder, her status

She was also noble and credited the Xu family for their hard work. The plan she proposed seemed fair at least on the surface. Others couldn't find anything wrong with it. Those who were dissatisfied were of lower seniority and couldn't object. In the end, it was decided like this.

Came down.

In fact, there is nothing to argue about in terms of property. Mr. Xu is the heir of the family, and his branch also has the important responsibility of offering incense and offering sacrifices. Naturally, the family property accounts for the majority. The ancestral property in the public family naturally belongs to him.

The eldest family members also got the sacrificial fields and clan fields in their hometown, and the second family members only got a small part. However, the land and properties purchased by Mr. Xu in the capital during his lifetime were not among them. Before his death, he had planned this part.

The property was divided, and it is now divided according to the division at that time. The eldest house gets 70%, the second house gets 30%, and the house gets half.

At this point, it seems that the eldest family member of the Xu family has more benefits, and the second family member suffers more. However, this is only the land originally owned by the Xu family. The Xu family naturally has other properties, some houses, shops, etc., most of which

They were given to the women of the Xu family when they got married, and some of them were bought by the old man or two of the Xu family themselves. The property bought by the men belongs to whoever spends the money. There is nothing to say about the property of the women.

, are naturally owned by each of them. The problem is that the several shops that Mrs. Xu bought as a dowry are now located in prosperous roads, and the rents are high, bringing a lot of income to the Xu family every year. There is also a farm that she bought as a dowry.

Although it is not in Beijing, due to the large area and the shrewd and capable head of the village, the income is more than 2,000 taels every year, which is considered a big piece of meat. These industries are actually owned by Master Xu. This makes Grandma Xu feel a little uncomfortable.

No more.

In the past, the Xu family lived together and shared property. There was no question of who should own the property. Except for the dowry of the living female relatives, other properties were counted among the public. Naturally, the same was true for Mrs. Xu’s dowry. After Mrs. Xu took charge of the family

, I only saw the accounts of these farms and shops, and thought that with these, the eldest family member could live a prosperous life. She never expected that they would actually belong to the second family member. How could she be willing to accept it? She started making trouble on the spot. Even so.

It is the dowry of the old lady. Master Xu and Master Xu are both the sons of the old lady. They should at least be divided equally, right? There is absolutely no reason for the younger son to go to himself alone.

However, it was useless for her to be unwilling. In this regard, even Mrs. Xu and Uncle Xu had to say something fair. Mrs. Xu did divide it like this before her death. The eldest son only got a small part of her old man's dowry.

Most of the property went to the younger son. The reason was that the eldest son got the lion's share of the family's property, so more of her private property had to be given to the younger son. This was for the sake of fairness, and she also wanted to supplement the younger son's family and make their life more comfortable. Facts

Above, since neither Mr. Xu nor Mrs. Xu expected that their sons would divide their families, the property would be shared by the two sons, so they did not think too much when dividing the property. How could they have expected it?

How can something that was settled decades ago still cause controversy today?

Grandma Xu was unwilling to do so, but Xu Rong asked the family servants at some time to ask what Mr. Xu wanted from the stroke. Mr. Xu wanted to save face and was unwilling to compete with his brother for the property in front of an insider.

, she accepted her late mother’s fate. So this big piece of fat fell into Master Xu’s bowl. Grandma Xu looked at her sister-in-law angrily, only to receive a proud and provocative look in return.

After the real estate is divided, there will be free money. Gold, silver, jewelry and the like are all small items, and the collection of antiques, paintings, and calligraphy is the focus. For this part, because Xu Zheng is in the family of Xu's family, Mrs. Xu is also partial to him, so she asks the eldest room to give it to him.

They grabbed most of it. The second room was unwilling, but couldn't defeat Mrs. Xu. In the end, they had no choice but to give in under Mrs. Xu's hateful eyes.

After being assigned here, Mistress Xu looked at Mrs. Xu many times. Although she did not dare to say something openly, the resentment in her heart became more and more. She could see that the aunt was biased towards the eldest son. She knew that Xu Rong was also enrolled in the school.

He is already talented in reading, and is about to get engaged to Qin Jinrong, but his aunt still prefers Xu Zheng. In this case, why do their second wife still miss their aunt's kindness? Their in-laws are the aunt's sons, and they will spend more time with their in-laws in the future.

Just be close to her. My aunt is old and confused, so she should retire and relax as early as possible.

The separation continues.

The money for the marriage of the four grandsons has a share among the public. It has been divided separately from the time they were born. How much money each person deserves is also put into the name of each house. The money is not much, and each of the grandsons has it.

One thousand taels of dowry silver, the granddaughter's dowry silver of 800 taels, the concubine's granddaughter only 500 taels of silver, and each family will buy the rest separately. Everyone has nothing to argue about this part, at most they secretly regret why they don't have two more.

A son.

Because Mrs. Xu used her son's marriage, examination and election of officials as reasons to fight for the cash from the company, Mrs. Xu was partial to Xu Zheng, feeling that the second wife of the Xu family already had a lot of property, and their population was small.

It wasn't much, and there was no need for so much cash, so they argued that most of it should go to the eldest brother. Master Xu and his wife accepted the arrangement coldly, and Mistress Xu could only look at Mr. Xu resentfully again and remained silent.

.

Finally, we were assigned servants. The number of male and female servants in the two houses has been reduced a lot after the changes in the family. Now, those who remain are either servants or confidants who the masters can't live without. Another trouble is involved here.

, since they are worldly servants, it is possible for the whole family to serve different masters, with the parents in the eldest room and the children in the second room, or the husband in the eldest room and the wife in the second room, and so on. If each person's servants belong to their respective

It was too unkind to force the family members to separate their flesh and blood, so the two families fought over the ownership of these servants.

Grandma Xu worked hard to get almost all the servants she wanted, and she also moved many old servants who were originally serving as deacons in the eldest room but who seemed to be a hindrance to her to the second room. She felt satisfied. Mistress Xu was so angry that she jumped on her feet, who wanted to

To support those old people who are immortal?! Her confidant and steward also had his eye on two girls and wanted to marry them as wives, but now her sister-in-law snatched them away. How could she be willing to do so?!

However, Mrs. Xu intervened again. This time, the eldest wife naturally got the advantage, and the second wife had to suffer. Mrs. Xu was silent for a while, then she winked at her daughter-in-law and told her to shut up and accepted the arrangement. Mrs. Xu second wife

I was full of confusion, angry and aggrieved, and my resentment towards the eldest son and the Xu family deepened.

At the end of this family separation, the remaining friendship between the two members of the Xu family was worn away a lot. Mrs. Xu thought she had accomplished a great thing, but when she looked back and saw the resentful look from the second member of the Xu family, she

She was deeply hit again. But what if she prefers the eldest son? Just because she said something to fight for Mr. Xu’s piece of fat, Mrs. Xu also became dissatisfied with her. Regardless of the dissuasion of her sons, Mrs. Xu

As a result of her insistence on intervening in the separation of her natal brothers, both members of the Xu family became resentful of her. Her efforts were thankless, and all her efforts were in vain. How could she not feel uncomfortable?

When she returned to Shofudo, she immediately fainted and developed a fever that night and became ill.
