There were a full 50 yuan and 60 jin of grain coupons.
Their family has five mouths to feed, yet they still managed to save so much money and food coupons.
There are two full-time employees in the family, after all.
No wonder Liu Haizhong disagreed with splitting the family business, and no wonder Liu Guangqi asked him for his own salary.
It seems that he has given all his salary to his family over the years.
Since he gave it all to his family, it's really unreasonable for them not to give him a single penny back.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu did not expect this either.
Their family has so much money.
If you turned that money into food, you could buy so many sesame cakes and steamed buns!
Thinking about all this, the two of them kept swallowing.
She looked at Liu Guangqi with envy.
Will he split this money equally with his family? I wish they could have jobs and separate from the family like my older brother.
Liu Guangqi didn't touch the money, but looked at He Hongyang and asked, "Brother He, how do you think we should divide it?"
Everyone was talking about it.
"Of course it's split equally. Liu Guangqi takes half, and the Liu family keeps the other half."
“His monthly salary is more than 20 yuan, and he only keeps 5 yuan for pocket money each month. He has to give nearly 200 yuan to his family every year. This amount of money is nothing at all.”
"If you ask me, not only should he split the profits, he should also take the lion's share."
"I wonder how He Hongyang will divide it. He might not let Liu Guangqi take all the money. Wouldn't Liu Haizhong be furious?"
"Serves him right. Who told him to treat his son like that? Who told him to say that there wasn't a single penny in the house? Now that the money has been found, let's see how he can still deny it."
Look, everyone's eyes are on him.
He Hongyang naturally wouldn't let them split it equally; if they did, wouldn't that be giving Liu Haizhong an advantage?
Of course, he wouldn't let Liu Guangqi take it all; if he did, wouldn't that be letting Liu Guangqi benefit too much?
In his view, the Liu family has five members, and each of them has their own ulterior motives.
Since you're all a disorganized bunch, then let you continue to be disorganized.
"Divide this money and food coupons into four portions."
Four servings?
Everyone stared wide-eyed: "What does this mean? It's not that Liu Guangqi is dividing the family property, so why is it divided into four parts?"
"Who will get all four portions? Could it be that every son in the Liu family will get one?"
"Impossible, the two younger ones are only teenagers, how could they have a share?"
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were incredibly excited when they heard everyone's discussion.
Could they really be involved?
Could it be that God has opened his eyes and they are about to have money?
That's right!
He Hongyang divided it into four portions so that each of the Liu family father and son would receive one portion.
Counting the money and food coupons.
He first handed it to Liu Guangqi: "This is 12.5 yuan and 20 jin of grain coupons."
Then he handed them to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu: "These are yours."
The two of them looked excitedly at their share.
"If it weren't for the eldest brother dividing the family property today, why would we get a share?"
"Just consider it as benefiting from your older brother's success. Look how thin you are, you must not have been eating well at home. Take this money and food coupons and buy yourselves something nice to eat."
"Really? These are really ours, and we can really make our own decisions."
“You are men, and men must be in charge of themselves. You can’t live in the shadow of others. Today, you can decide what to do with this money and food coupons.”
They quickly put the money and food coupons into their pockets.
I held the pocket tightly with my hand, afraid that they would fly away.
He Hongyang looked at the remaining portion: "This is yours."
Liu Haizhong felt like he could hardly breathe.
I had 50 yuan and 60 jin of grain coupons, and now I only have so little left.
He was the ancestor of this family, yet he shared the profits equally with his three sons, and only received one share himself.
He shouted angrily, "This is completely unfair! I don't agree to this division!"
"This is the money I saved up. Why should I give it to them? Why should I only get one share?"
"Even if you gave it to Liu Guangqi, why did you have to share it with Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu? They eat my food and drink my drinks, and now they want to take my money too, those little brats."
"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, hand over your money and food coupons. If you don't..."
He raised a stick beside him and said, "I'll break your legs."
The two men were so frightened that they immediately hid behind He Hongyang: "We won't take it. We finally found the money. It was given to us by Brother He. Don't expect us to give it to you."
“This is unfair. He’s favoring Liu Guangqi. I don’t agree. I absolutely refuse to agree to this division.”
He Hongyang snatched the stick from his hand: "Whether you agree or not, you have to agree. Anyway, I'm in charge, so this is how it's divided!"
"Liu Guangqi, do you agree?"
He certainly agreed; without He Hongyang, he wouldn't have gotten any of these things.
"agree!"
"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, do you agree?"
"Agreed, thank you, Brother He."
“There are five people in your family, and three of them have already agreed. Even if you disagree, it won’t make a difference.”
Aunt Erda's heart was breaking; all of this was money she had painstakingly saved up.
It's all gone just like that. How will we live from now on?
"You haven't even asked me yet. I'm your second aunt. Why don't you ask me if I agree?"
“I asked you before, and you said you were a woman and had no ideas at all.”
“This money is what I saved up little by little, and I won’t allow you to give it to others.”
"Which eye of yours saw me give it to someone else? I'm sharing it with your son. You wouldn't even be willing to give it to your son, would you? Are you saving it to buy eggs for the two of you separately?"
Liu Haizhong knew that his wife couldn't argue with him, so he used the people in the yard to pressure him.
"Everyone, please be the judge. Is what he did right? Is his way of dividing the family property fair?"
Xu Damao was the first to raise his hand: "I think it's right, it's very fair!"
Yan Jiefang added, "I also think it's very fair."
Qin Huairu, not wanting to be left behind, said, "Brother He did the right thing, I agree."
Even Qin Jingru chimed in, "I agree too!"
It's obvious that young people are speaking up for him.
Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai, the first aunt, Yan Bugui, the third aunt, and Jia Zhangshi.
“You are all elders in this courtyard, why don’t you say something?”
None of them said a word.
They had nothing to say.
Whether the money is divided into one, two, or four parts, it's all spent by the Liu family.
Just like He Hongyang said, all three members of his family agreed, so what's the use of his own opposition?
Madam Jia was no longer interested in hearing about their plans to divide the family property.
Her eyes scanned everything in the Liu family's home.
Their family has so much money and food coupons. If only that money and food coupons were hers!
The Liu family is now crammed with so many people.
If something is missing from their house, they'll never know who did it.
His eyes were fixed on the cornbread on the table.
This is a cornbread bun.
Although it's also cornbread, it's much better than the sweet potato flour ones from her family.
Eating too many sweet potato flour buns can cause acid reflux.
I was just wondering what to eat tonight.
When no one was looking, he grabbed two steamed buns and stuffed them into his pocket.
"what are you doing?"
He Hongyang shouted a rebuke.
She was so startled that she almost dropped the cornbread in her hand.
He kept clutching his pockets.
Everyone immediately stared at her.
Madam Jia quickly waved her hand: "It's nothing, there's nothing at all."
"Did you put those two steamed buns on the table into your pocket?"
"Uu——"
Everyone gasped and stared at the table.
Nobody cared whether there were any steamed buns on it.
But seeing that Jia Zhangshi's face had changed, could it be that she really stole someone else's cornbread?
Others came to watch the spectacle, but she came to steal.
He was caught red-handed.
Qin Huairu saw He Hongyang wink at her and immediately reached into her pocket.
Take out two cornbread buns directly.
"Look at this, everyone! How dare you deny it?"
"Brother He, we caught him. It's just two steamed buns."
Jia Zhangshi was surprised that He Hongyang was so vigilant; no one else noticed, but he was the one who did.
He was about to be exposed by his own daughter-in-law.
She covered her face, wishing there was a crack in the ground she could disappear into. ①
Seeing the irrefutable evidence, Liu Haizhong was furious: "You're a disgrace! Stealing from our house!"
He wasn't angry about the two steamed buns, but about the group of old men.
I really hoped these older folks would step forward and say a word for him. ①
I never expected Jia Zhangshi to do something so shameful. 6
"Is it that your family is short of these two cornbread buns? If so, just tell me, and I'll give you two."

The second aunt was so angry she wanted to slap her: "Jia Zhangshi, you've really embarrassed us old folks!"
Hearing them say that about themselves. ⑤
