General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 954: Theory of Family Division (2)

The two factions started arguing again. Ji Xiaomu stood on the stage and coughed heavily. "Okay, stop arguing! Listen to me!"

"Girl Ji, you say!" Seeing that little Ji has done so much for the village and her status in the village is higher than that of the village chief, the older generation is willing to listen to her when they see her.

"I know you are all arguing about the division of the family property. In fact, I think you don't need to generalize. Things like the division of the family property also vary from case to case! Take the division of the family property of the village chief as an example. Why did the village chief divide both sons? Because the two daughters-in-law felt that the other was more favored, so they wanted to avoid being at a disadvantage. So they had a big quarrel every three days and a small quarrel every two days. The village chief's wife is Uncle Wu's wife. Everyone knows that she has a good temper. According to the old ladies, she just couldn't stand up to the two daughters-in-law."

Everybody laughed. The village chief and his wife stood nearby, also looking helpless. However, they had realized the benefits of dividing the family property, so they did not regret giving away their two sons at all.

"The village chief is the father-in-law. No matter which son he favors, it will not be good. Although the tradition is to leave the eldest son to take care of him in old age, when the eldest son knows that his younger brother got twenty taels and can live in a new house, he will definitely feel unbalanced and think that his parents are partial to him, or that he is at a disadvantage because he is the eldest son." Everyone nodded in agreement with Ji Xiaomu's words.

"Keeping both sons will only lead to resentment. Instead of quarreling every day, it is better for both of them to live in new houses and get the same amount of money. This way it is fair and just. Whether they live a good life in the future depends on how hard they work. After the village chief and his family raise two sons, they can have some free time to live their own lives. This is the best of both worlds." Mother Ji said again, and some people fell silent.

"What about retirement care?" someone shouted.

"Speaking of this issue, let me ask everyone, how much can each household earn now?" Ji Xiaomu asked everyone with a smile.

"Under your leadership, every family can get at least five or six taels of potatoes each time they produce them!" The village chief understood this best and immediately stepped forward to say.

Everyone nodded heavily. Life at home was getting better and better.

"One child every two to three months, that means you can earn at least fifteen taels a year now!" Ji Xiaowu said to everyone, "The village chief can take out forty taels at a time and give twenty taels to each of his two sons to divide the property among them. Even if he divides the land, the village chief also keeps some land for himself to grow potatoes. Do you think he can earn ten taels a year?"

"Is that okay?" Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"He has money, land and a house. Does he worry about his retirement?" Mother Ji chuckled and asked them to think about the question.

When Ji Xiaomu asked this question, all the old people were stunned. They had never thought about this question before.

They subconsciously believe that money is left for the next generation...

They have never thought about this problem. At most, they just want to save some money for their own funeral. They never think about using the money to live their own lives and do whatever they want...

"If your son doesn't support you, you won't have to starve even if you have money and land, right? If you don't want your son to serve you, you can still pay someone to serve you... Why can't you do anything else with your own money? Why do you have to ask your son to serve you? By then, they may be eager to support you when you are old without you having to say anything." Mother Ji said to everyone. They fell silent and couldn't open their mouths to refute.
