Chapter 139: Equally Divided_1
The village chief glanced at Yang Ruxin, then turned to the two elders, "Third Great-Uncle, Fourth Grandfather, what do you think... "
"Girl, are you truly willing to divide?" Third Great-Uncle looked at Yang Ruxin.
"Is there even room for me to disagree?" Yang Ruxin said with a bitter smile.
Third Great-Uncle sighed, "Since it’s like this, then let’s divide."
The division of the family was supposed to be decided by the men, but the eldest branch’s Yang Rufeng was only four years old and completely ignorant of these matters, so Yang Dani made all the decisions.
Yang Anshi wanted to throw the eldest branch out of the house with nothing, but Yang Peili stopped her before she could finish speaking.
Yang Anshi pursed her lips and said no more.
"We have thirty mu of land in the family, but the eldest branch has no labor to work it, so I will not divide it," Yang Peili began to detail the family property. "There are five hundred jin of grain in the cellar. After dividing it into five parts, the eldest branch will get one hundred jin. Since they are not getting any land, the other branches will give the eldest branch an additional two hundred jin of grain each year, which is enough for their mother and daughters to eat and drink... As for the chickens and pigs in the backyard, we will divide the meat when they are butchered..."
Yang Ruxin scoffed inwardly, how nice it sounded, but she probably wouldn’t get even a single grain in the future. However, it didn’t matter, the best outcome would be to have nothing to do with these people of the Yang Family from now on.
