Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1485

Chapter 1485: Separation ( 2 )

Hearing her eldest daughter-in-law’s words, Mother Zhang replied, "Last year, we received less grains, so we had to buy it from the store. That’s why this year, our family’s money and coupons are not as much as before."

Before she could ask again, Father Zhang said, "Now, we will split the money and coupons equally. The total of adults in our family is 10 people, and the total of the children is 13. Everyone will get 2 yuan and 20 cents. As for coupons, we will split it into five parts."

"The pots and pans at home are not enough to divide with everyone, so they will become public property. We will share the kitchen tools. But the firewood, you have to go find it yourself."

Hearing this, they nodded and said nothing.

Then, Father Zhang added, "Since I have raised you for so many years, it’s your responsibility to raise me and your mother in our old age."

After a moment of pause, he added, "The four of you should give your mother and me 10 yuan, 20 kilograms of grains, 20 kilograms of flour, 5 kilograms of meat, half a kilogram of sugar, half a kilogram of salt, and a liter of oil every year."

When the village elders heard this, one of them asked, "Old Zhang, will the amount be enough for you and your wife to survive for a year?"

"Old Wu, you see it yourself today. I only hope that after the separation, they still at least have some filial piety and are willing to give this much," Father Zhang said with a sigh.

Due to the elder’s words, the Zhang brothers and their wives couldn’t say a word to refuse. After all, if they refused or asked to give less, they would be labeled as cruel or unfilial.

Not to mention surviving for a whole year, the amount asked by their father and mother was only enough for at most two or three months.

After considering the pros and cons, Zhang Dalang finally said, "Father, Mother, we will definitely give you that much. Even after separation, we won’t ignore your well-being."

When everyone heard his words, they nodded and no longer criticized them in their hearts.

No matter how bad the relationship was between parents and children, they were still family. Unless there was deep hatred or an unsolved grudge, children would never abandon their parents, and vice versa.

"Since there are no problems, we can draft the separation letter and sign it. After that, we can divide the property," the team leader said as he placed his cup down.

"I will go fetch the paper and pen," Zhang Sanlang quickly said and went to his room to get the things.

Although he didn’t know many words, he could write and read basic words used daily. That’s why he bought some paper and a pen from the town before.
