Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

"You brat, your grandpa has already given in to you on everything else, what more do you want?"

There are two pigs in the family, how should we divide them?

How can a young lady like you be so calculating?

Wang was thinking to herself that she would need to sell these two pigs for money for the New Year!

How could we let that brat get away with this?

After saying that, he glared at Liu Daniu again, "Boss, are you a dead man sitting there without saying a word?"

Look at your good daughter, she's so calculating, even arguing with her own family. It's outrageous!

"Hurry up and tell Peach Girl to stop fighting over half a pig!"

"Mother, the two pigs are divided among the four brothers, so it's only right that our eldest son's family gets half a pig."

What did my little peach girl say wrong?

Since pork is hard to divide now, converting it into silver is just as good.

Why do you have to say such unpleasant things?

There was no emotion left in Liu Daniu's tone.

"Boss, I'm her grandmother. What's wrong with saying a few words to her?"

And you've always listened to me, but now that this brat is back, you've changed.

Not only do you listen to a little girl, but you also dare to talk back to me. You've really grown up.

"You don't even respect your own mother anymore?"

Wang was so angry that she rolled her eyes.

"Alright, stop arguing. It's not wrong for the eldest son's family to get half a pig."

However, the pigs are not yet fully grown, so they cannot be slaughtered.

You can't just cut it in half.

"Peach Girl, this pig is really hard to divide. Do you think you could give some of the rest to your eldest son's family?"

With the village head here, he cannot refuse to give any of the poultry and livestock to the eldest son's family.

Tao'er was overjoyed to hear those words.

So he said, "What Grandpa said makes sense. These two pigs are not fully grown yet, and it would be a pity to kill them."

You can't actually cut it in half and take it away, otherwise the pig wouldn't survive.

Otherwise, how about this: don't we have ten chickens and four geese at home?

I only need four hens and two geese; I don't need the pigs.

"We don't need to distribute pork to our eldest son's family during the Lunar New Year."

The geese we raise at home are delicious.

It's delicious to make stewed goose in an iron pot during festivals and Chinese New Year.

As for pork, she doesn't particularly like to eat it.

If four hens lay eggs, then we'll have eggs to eat every day.

"Peach Girl, you're too greedy!"

You want four hens, and there are eight hens in the house, so you've taken half of them.

"You also want two of the four geese, so take half of them."

The third son's wife, Zhao, immediately objected.

Besides selling some of the eggs laid by that hen, the rest were kept for their little chubby son.

"Third Aunt, where did I go wrong? Don't forget, our eldest son's family didn't ask for a pig. Pigs are much more expensive than chickens."

I actually suffered a huge loss!

If you don't want that, then I'll take half a pig.

Tao'er had an indifferent expression.

"Third brother's wife, don't say anything, just do as Tao Yatou says."

"Mother, tomorrow you need to catch four hens and two geese for Peach Girl."

Liu Laogen thought that half a pig was worth more than a chicken or a goose.

Wang reluctantly hummed in agreement.

"Since Grandpa agreed, I have nothing more to say."

"Grandpa Chen, could you please write down all the allocated land, farm tools, and livestock?"

Tao'er said to the village head with a smile.

"Peach Girl, I've finished writing."

Now everyone come over and put your handprints!

Chen Shuigen put down his pen, his face full of a kind smile.

"Um, Peach Girl, could you please take out twenty-three taels of silver before you put your fingerprint on it? Otherwise, I'm not sure what to do!"

The fourth son's wife, Wei, said.

"Yes, yes, fourth brother's wife is right. You brat, hurry up and hand over the money. What if you're trying to scam us?"

Wang quickly echoed.

Liu Jiaojiao quickly came over and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law is right, Liu Tao'er, hurry up and take out the money."

Who knows if you'll go back on your word!

"Fourth Aunt, what do you mean?"

"Since my sister said she would give it to you, would she lie to you?"

Liu Tiezhu said unhappily.

"Fourth Aunt, you must have nothing better to do than not believe that my little sister Tao'er can do this without pressing her fingerprint!"

Liu Tiechui was unwilling to let his younger sister pay this money, but he also knew that if she didn't, his grandparents, uncles, and other relatives would definitely not agree to the division of the family property.

That's why I've been holding back my anger here.

"Tiezhu, that's not what Fourth Aunt meant. Anyway, the money will be given sooner or later. I'm just taking a look."

Wei was somewhat embarrassed and forced a smile.

Liu Laogen looked at Tao'er without saying a word, as if waiting for something.

Tao chuckled, "That's really funny!"

Fourth Aunt, you're still a scholar's wife!

Don't you know that it's clearly written in the family division document?

Do you think this document, just a piece of paper, can be changed at will?

This needs to be taken to the government office for approval and stamping; do you think this is a joke?

Anyone who dares to change their mind will be punished with a beating and imprisoned.

"I...I just..."

"Alright, stop embarrassing yourself here."

Liu Laosi scolded Wei Shi, then turned to Tao'er with a smile and said, "Tao'er, don't listen to your fourth aunt's nonsense. She's just a woman and doesn't know anything."

"I trust you, Fourth Uncle. I'll put my fingerprint on it right now."

Liu Tianbao took the lead in pressing his handprint, followed by the old man.

After a cup of tea, the family division process was over.

Chen Shuigen stood up, straightened his back, and habitually pounded his back twice. He said, "Tomorrow, we'll go to the government office to get the official seal, and then the eldest branch of the family will be completely separated."

It's getting late, I should head back.

Liu Tao'er said with a smile, "Grandpa Chen, it's getting dark outside, let me see you off."

Chen Shuigen nodded, "Okay, we've got Tao'er here."

"Eldest brother, second brother, please help Father back inside!"

After Tao'er finished speaking, she followed the village head out.

"Peach Girl, that silver..."

When are you going to give it to me?

Liu Tianbao couldn't help but shout it out.

"Once I get the official seal at the county government office tomorrow, I'll give you the silver. Don't worry, you'll get your share."

Tao'er said without turning her head.

Liu Tianbao was relieved; the money was finally safe.

Although there were some setbacks in raising money back home this time, at least we got the money.

Liu Daniu walked away, supported by his two sons.

The few remaining people in the main room didn't look well; they were all dejected.

Liu Laogen spoke up, "Second brother, third brother, remember to bring the fifteen taels of silver within three days."

Liu Erniu and his wife gave an "oh" and went back into the house dejectedly.

Liu Sanniu and his wife were very unhappy, but they had no choice but to obey.

After all, they had always relied on the old man and the fourth son.

They are also worried that now that the eldest son and his siblings have moved out, there will be fewer people to do the work at home, and their income will also decrease.

With Tiezhu and Tiechui's earnings gone, their family's life will likely become even more difficult.

The happiest people were the fourth son and his wife, who had finally received the money.

Whether or not someone is home to do chores is none of their business, since they don't live there and don't need to do those chores.

Tao'er escorted the village head to the gate, took out a red envelope and stuffed it into his hand, "Grandpa Chen, thank you for your help with the family division today. Please accept this as a token of my gratitude and use it to buy some wine."

She put two coins' worth of silver inside.

Chen Shuigen declined, saying, "Tao girl, we're all from the same village, you don't need to give me money. You're not being lenient with me now."

"Grandpa Chen, you've helped our family so many times, so please don't be so polite with me."

Otherwise, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future.

Social obligations still need to be observed, so this little bit of money can't be saved.

"Since that's what Peach Girl says, then this old man will accept it."

Go back quickly!

I have to go to the county government office tomorrow!

Tao'er nodded and turned to enter the courtyard.

Chen Shuigen touched the red envelope and said, "This girl is young, but she is more insightful and open-minded than everyone in the Liu family."

He then strode home with his hands behind his back.
