Chapter 6

The old lady has always been extra attentive to the things she planted. If she doesn't listen to her, she can mutter it several times a day. She only loves Third Son, so she would say that.

She wants to collect all the corn, also thinking of selling some money. She also wants to save some private money while she is alive, so that when she dies, she can leave some money for a few grandsons.

After Ye Fu knocked out the burnt tobacco from the water pipe, he looked at the children and grandchildren in the room. He originally wanted to say what he and Ye Mu discussed last night, but he was interrupted.

"Grandma, not long after you went out this morning, Dabo and Erbo came to the door to ask for money!"

Complaining is definitely going to complain!

The complainer—Ye Huimei!

The family finally earned a sum of money, and Dabo and Erbo actually came to the door shamelessly to ask for money. It's not good to say it outside, but it must be said to Grandma here!

The children in the house also chattered: "That's right, Great-Grandma, Great-Uncle and Great-Second-Uncle were so fierce."

"They even slapped the table and glared!"

"And scolded my dad, not allowing him to interrupt!"

The chattering made people's heads ache. Ye Yaodong waved at the children: "Go go go, what does it have to do with you? All go out to play, don't stay here and be in the way!"

"Pfft pfft pfft~"

The children stuck out their tongues, made faces, and ran out to play. It just happened that the cucumber was finished, and they didn't want to stay at home and listen to the adults talk.

Before going out, everyone didn't forget to shout at Ye Mu: "Grandma, call us when the corn is ready!"

The old lady didn't even lift her eyelids the whole time. Having suddenly obtained such a large sum of money, everyone would be jealous.

The palm is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat. She just said faintly: "Don't worry about them, each family lives their own life, don't be jealous of anyone."

Ye Fu responded and didn't say much. He didn't want to tell the old lady to begin with, so as not to make her worry. Anyway, the money is in his hands, and no one can take it.

Scanning the sons and daughters-in-law in the room, he said seriously: "I discussed it with your mother last night. Since we have money, we plan to build houses for you brothers, and then divide the family, so that each family can live their own lives."

The house they live in now is still left by the old man. Because Ye Dabo and Ye Erbo got married first, the old man built a house for each of them after they got married and divided the family to let them move out and live their own lives.

Because Ye Fu was the youngest and married the latest, the old man thought that the house would be empty after he died, so he didn't build another one. He just built a small hut of less than ten square meters next to the vegetable garden in the backyard and set up an earthen stove, intending to provide for himself and the old lady, and left the house they lived in to Ye Fu.

Although this house is a bit bigger and has more rooms, there are four, but it has been repaired for many years and is already very old, so Ye Dabo and Ye Erbo had no opinion.

Now the family has groups of children and grandchildren, and this house is not enough to live in.

There are four rooms. The three brothers' families each squeeze into one room, and Ye Huimei sleeps in the same room as Ye Fu and Ye Mu, plus a small bed.

Except for Ye Yaodong, who is a family of four, the eldest and second are both families of five. Five people live in one room and share an old-fashioned frame bed. You can see how crowded it is.

They have to set up a large round table for meals, and the women have to stand and eat. It's not discrimination, mainly because they can't sit down. They are all fed and eaten by the children, and then the women in the house sit down to eat.

Ye Fu and Ye Mu see it all in their eyes and have long wanted to divide the family and let their sons live their own lives, but they have no money to build a house. Even if they divide the family, they still have to live together, with only one stove, and eating and drinking cannot be separated, so there is no difference between dividing and not dividing.

This time catching large yellow croakers and earning a sum of money can be regarded as an opportunity to divide the family.

Otherwise, if the family suddenly gets such a large sum of money, everyone's mind will fluctuate.

Sure enough, Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao's eyes lit up when they heard about dividing the family.

Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, and he also remembered that in his previous life, his father also built a house when he caught large yellow croakers, but he went out early and returned late to hang out with friends every day and didn't care about the family, nor did he help.

He had been regretting that he had traveled back too late and missed the large yellow croakers, and didn't remember the matter of building a house and dividing the family. Hearing his father say this, he remembered.

Ye Laoda was surprised but didn't say anything. It's normal for trees to branch out.

Ye Laoer was at a loss: "Dad, this... everything is fine, why divide the family... ah!?"

Before Ye Laoer finished speaking, his wife poked him in the elbow. He was stunned for a moment, looked at his wife, and didn't speak.

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. His second brother is the most honest in the family, and his second sister-in-law has the most heart. The two are complementary!

The one who dislikes him the most is his second sister-in-law!

It's just that his father and mother let everyone keep the money they earn themselves, and daily eating and drinking rely on the output of the land and beachcombing, without spending money, so this family can barely be harmonious for so long, otherwise it could turn the sky upside down.

The reason is~

That is of course because he is holding back~

Ye Fu looked at Laoer, opened the small round iron box containing tobacco, and began to pinch tobacco unhurriedly, saying: "If you have money, why don't you divide the family? Do you want to squeeze together as a family? Is it fragrant?"

Now no one dared to say anything, fearing that it would be ruined!

Ye Yaodong sat on the stool, shaking his legs, looking at everyone who was clearly longing but said nothing, so he said fearlessly: "Okay, Dad, we are all married, it's time to divide the family. Building a new house can also make living more relaxed."

"I'm afraid you'll starve to death!" Ye Fu glared at him unhappily.

"Ah, ha? Not necessarily, not necessarily, I will definitely be diligent and hardworking after dividing the family!"

"How to be diligent and hardworking?"

"Uh... I'll just learn how Eldest Brother and Ye Erge are diligent and hardworking."

"I believe your ghost!"

Ye Yaodong:...

He is serious, but no one believes him...

The old lady patted Ye Yaodong comfortingly and said: "After dividing the family, it's good for each to live their own lives. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, actually it should have been divided long ago."

Ye Mu sat by the stove and took over the conversation: "The money from selling large yellow croakers is just enough to build a house, so as not to let people think about it. If it's not enough, the money earned from going to sea next will be added. Anyway, it's all built for you. Originally, I wanted to say it when you were all there after breakfast, but it was delayed until now."

After speaking, she said to Ye Fu: "You go to the commune in a while to ask and settle the matter of buying the foundation. Let's ask someone to build the house as soon as possible."

"Hmm," Ye Fu looked at his sons and daughters-in-law and said: "This money is used to build a house, and the money earned from going to sea next will also be added. After the house is built, the family will be divided. Do you have any opinions?"

Ye Laoda shook his head: "Dad, you and Mom make the decision, we have no opinion."

Ye Laoer also followed: "Dad, you look at it, we have no opinion."

The women in the house didn't mutter in their ears at night. They could divide the family and live their own small lives. Of course, they had no opinion.

Ye Huimei hasn't married yet, so she must follow her father and mother. She is a daughter, so it doesn't matter if she divides the family or not. She just watches.

The matter of taking money to build a house and divide the family was temporarily settled.

Ye Fu smoked a few more puffs of water pipe before going out.
