Chapter 157: Dividing the Land
Upon hearing this, the villagers began to accuse Qian Fuguo again.
"His elder brother died. What's wrong with coming to pay your respects? But you even beat him up. How can the Qian family be like this?"
"I have money, but I am not kind to others."
In fact, the Qian family is not very rich, but they are slightly better off than the poor villagers.
Qian Fuguo, who was scolded, raged at the villagers: "What does it have to do with you?! I bought my wife with my own money. The Luo family sold her to me! She can't go back to her parents' home without my permission! If she comes back, I will beat her! Beat her to death! None of you can do anything about it!"
Although there are many people who do not allow their daughters-in-law to return to their parents' home, there are only a few people like Qian Fuguo who are so arrogant and domineering. Not to mention that this will arouse public anger and be driven out of the village.
After the funeral was over, Luo Youdi naturally had to rush back as soon as possible, "Xiaoyue, I'm going home too. Come to see my aunt if you encounter any problems in the future."
"Okay, aunt." Luo Yue escorted her out of the yard. "Goodbye, aunt." After watching her aunt walk away, she walked back to the main room and saw that her third uncle and the others had not left yet. They were sitting at the table in the main room chatting.
"Grandpa and grandma, Third Uncle and Third Aunt, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep for a while."
"Good boy, go to bed quickly." Third Aunt Zhou Juying responded first.
Luo Yue walked into the room and closed the door.
The smile on Zhou Juying's face disappeared instantly. She turned to look at her parents-in-law and asked impatiently, "Dad, Mom, our eldest brother's funeral is over. Now it's time to discuss the division of the land, right?"
Old Man Luo glanced at his third daughter-in-law with disgust, who couldn't wait any longer, and randomly announced his decision: "The land on the hillside north of the village goes to the fifth son, and the field next to the pond goes to the third son..."
After waiting quietly for her father-in-law to finish speaking, Zhou Juying immediately gave her husband several glances.
Luo Laosan immediately stepped forward and took out the IOU again, "Dad, my eldest brother is gone, my eldest sister-in-law has been arrested, and I don't expect that good-for-nothing Yaozu to pay me back, so I want a bigger share of the land."
"Why should you get more?" Luo Laowu immediately retorted loudly, his eyes sweeping over the IOU in his hand with disdain, "This time when I was arranging the funeral for my eldest brother, you only had to pay for the coffin. The rest of the things were bought by me borrowing money from everywhere. I spent more than you!" He turned his head and looked at his father, "You should give me a bigger share!"
Neither of the brothers was willing to give in, and both thought they had suffered a loss. Old Man Luo was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Stop arguing! This is how the land is divided! If you don't agree, don't divide it! Leave it for Yaozu to inherit! Just consider it as a token of your two uncles' kindness!"
The two brothers were shocked, and suddenly exchanged glances, took a step back, and reached a consensus in an instant.
"Dad, you divided it fairly. I'll listen to you." Luo Laowu flattered his old father and winked at his third brother.
Luo Laosan also agreed, "Dad, we are wrong and shouldn't quarrel. Let's divide it according to what you said."
Seeing that he had his two sons under control, Old Man Luo was satisfied. "Then it's settled. Once we leave this house, whoever dares to complain will not be allowed to take any land and will have to return it all to me!"
Seeing that he had angered his old father, Luo Laosan winked at his daughter-in-law and handed her the IOU.
Zhou Juying took the IOU and placed it in front of her mother-in-law. "Mom, it was us and Lao Wu who paid for the funeral of our eldest brother. Shouldn't the money we collected also be divided between our two families?"
Snapped!
Seeing the frequent IOUs, Mrs. Luo got angry and stood up and slapped her, "How can you be so shameless? You have divided up all the boss's land, and now you still want money? No! Not a cent!"
