Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1399 Lazy Wife 16
At this point, Father Chen was a little displeased with Linlang. It was because, thinking back on what had happened during this period of time, he felt that it was all because Linlang was dishonest in the beginning and said that she didn't want to do anything. It was because Linlang was the first to rebel and he didn't control her that others dared to act recklessly as well.

But now the family was about to be divided, and even though Father Chen disliked Linlang, he did not dare to show it, because when she got older, the three sons would have to take turns to raise her. If it was the youngest son's turn to raise her, he would have a falling out with his youngest daughter-in-law, and he would be punished by her. So Father Chen naturally did not dare to show his unhappiness at this moment, and had to divide the family.

Although it was called a division of the family, there was actually nothing much to divide, because all the money in the family had been spent. They just divided the fields and mountains, and then separated the household registration of the three brothers.

The fields and mountains were easy to divide. They could be divided into four equal parts. The old couple would get more, and the three brothers would get less. The fields and mountains of the old couple would be divided among the three families after they passed away.

Everyone now has better ways to make money, and I have no objection.

Of course, it can only be divided equally. It is impossible to divide it according to population because it will cause conflicts.

For example, if the property is divided according to the total population, the second branch will definitely not accept it, and think that since they have three grandsons, they should get more.

But when it comes to dividing according to the male population, the eldest wife is not satisfied.

In addition, the third room would not agree with either of these two methods of division, because they only have four people, which is the result of family planning. Otherwise, they must have more people than this. In this case, why should they get less land just because they only have two children according to national laws? This is unfair.

The other two families were also afraid that the division based on population would cause conflicts with the third family. If they failed to help their own families get rich, that would be bad. Therefore, it was most appropriate to divide the property equally among the three families. After all, they were all sons of Chen's father, so why couldn't they divide it equally?

After the separation, because the house was newly built, only one kitchen was built, and it was quite troublesome to cook with separate pots, so they just separated and did not start a new stove for the time being. They still ate together, and each family paid the food expenses according to the number of people. Everyone took turns cooking. As long as it was fair and just, no one had any objections.

After the family split up, the first and second wives devoted all their efforts to stringing beads, while the eldest and second brothers Chen also worked hard to take on work in the village.

Now they are making money for themselves, so they are very motivated and will never slack off again. So their reputation has gradually improved and companies are willing to hire them to work.

Because the money earned by doing handicrafts is still more than that by stringing beads - bead stringing can earn at most one dollar a day, but handicrafts can earn one dollar and fifty cents a day, and the working hours are shorter than bead stringing, so as long as there is handicraft to be done, it is naturally more cost-effective to do handicrafts - so the eldest and second brothers Chen did handicrafts if they could, and stringed beads at home if they couldn't. Soon the income of the two families was more than before. After all, before, Chen's father would take them to farm and do handicrafts, which wasted time but made no money. Now, all this time would not be wasted, so the eldest and second families naturally had more money.

Now, apart from growing some vegetables at their doorstep, they don't grow any crops on the land allocated to them. Instead, they entrust the farming to their wife's family and just give them a little food every year.

They said to others that they had split up and were busy working outside, so they had no time to farm. This was a reasonable reason. After all, the money earned by being a laborer was much higher. No one thought that they had no time because they had to do handicrafts at home. Otherwise, even if Brother Chen went to work, he would not work every day. When he was not working, could he still farm? They simply looked down on the little income from farming.

Even the fields of Linlang's family were entrusted to the original parents to cultivate.

This is for sure. Before the family split up, Chen Lei was the laziest and not very active. Now that the family split up, there are so many ways to make money at home, and there is no need to do hard work, so he entrusted the land to his original parents, and asked them to give him some food per acre. Why did they entrust the Yue family to farm the land instead of letting Chen's father and mother farm? After all, from an outsider's point of view, isn't this a bargain for the Yue family, but not for their parents?
That was naturally because, just Chen's father and mother could not cultivate so many fields. Moreover, Chen's father and mother themselves did not want to farm the fields, they only wanted to string beads. After all, there was no mechanized operation at that time, and everything was done manually, and farming was so hard.

It's so hard work, but the money earned is not as much as stringing beads. If Chen's father was not a person of the older generation, he would not have had enough to eat in the past few years, and now he finally owns his own land, so he naturally likes the land. Otherwise, he would not want to farm.

After the family split up, Linlang told Chen Lei that she still didn't like the whole family living together, and it would be troublesome for so many people to sleep in three rooms in just one room, especially as the children grew older, there was really no room for them. She wanted to have her own space. It just so happened that after the family split up, she could go to the village to apply for a homestead, so she asked him to go to the village to apply for a homestead so that they could build a new house.

Although Chen Lei felt that they already had a house in the city and a house in his hometown, it didn't matter whether they built another one or not. After all, what was the point of having so many houses?

But Linlang said that since there was free housing land, it would be a waste not to take it. Besides, he also felt that it would be nice to live in a more spacious place, especially with a dedicated bathroom for taking a shower and going to the toilet. Now he could only take a bath in the room with a bathtub, which was quite inconvenient. He had gone to the city before and really liked the bathrooms in the buildings there. How nice it was.

Chen Lei is a person who loves to enjoy life, he likes it that way.

It was just that when his family was building a house before, he suggested building one like that, but his family members said it was too expensive and that they couldn't do it that way, so he had to give up.

That's right. Even if it is built, what's the point? There are so many people in the family. If you want to take a shower in it, how long will it take? It's better to build your own house so that you can take a shower whenever you want.

So Chen Lei asked Linlang if she would agree to build a bathroom like the ones in the city if she built her own house. If Linlang didn't let him build it, he really had no motivation to rebuild a house, because building a house is very hard.

How could Linlang object? She naturally wanted a bathroom like that, instead of taking a basin and washing in the room, which was too dirty.

She would build a shower and take a nice, relaxing shower.

Linlang agreed with Chen Lei's idea, and Chen Lei immediately had no objection. He took the newly issued household registration book and went to the village to ask the village to approve the land.

As long as the family was divided, they could be allocated residential land for free. So after Chen Lei gave some cigarettes and alcohol to the village party secretary, he naturally got the land he wanted quickly, which was located near the Chen family's newly built house.

This location was naturally proposed by Linlang. After all, this area will be demolished in the future, but other places will not, so it is natural to build here.

Of course, on the surface, Linlang said that building it here would be convenient for them to continue doing handicrafts in the future, and it would also be easy to take care of their two elderly people when they get old.

Chen Lei naturally had no objection to these. He also thought that the location was good. At least it was convenient to go to the city.
