Chapter 909: 909 subdivision

Xiao Yishan, his stern face softened by emotion, listened.

Su Qingyue glanced at Xiao Yishan. “When I was beaten half to death in town that year, it was second brother who carried me back, spent money on my medical treatment, and even went into debt to the tune of six taels of silver when I was too sick to earn a cent. During my time with the Xiao Family, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, they all treated me very well. How could I be ungrateful?”

She looked at the new house in the family’s compound, a long row of twelve rooms with broad grounds both front and back, “Building twelve rooms was always intended for you three to have your own spaces.”

Xiao Yishan watched her slightly despondent back and murmured, “Qingyue…”

“Second brother.” Her gaze returned to his face. “I hope you can have a good life later, but I, Su Qingyue, have already done all that decency demands. Even though third brother and fourth brother were once under your care, I have repaid your kindness on their behalf.”

“Can the feelings between close relatives truly be measured with money?” Xiao Yishan’s face showed an ugly expression.

Su Qingyue asked, “Then why were you and third brother fighting over money just now?”

“I…” Xiao Yishan was at a loss for words.

“The fields under the three sons’ names are already in your individual names. Since second brother is unwilling to give them up, they should be divided accordingly. Twelve rooms—each of you will have four rooms; the furniture will belong to whoever’s room it’s in. The tables and chairs in the living room, including the stove tools, tableware in the kitchen, and the latrine and bathrooms and horse-drawn cart, will go to fourth brother. Of course, all the herbs I’ve gathered are mine. Until third brother and second brother have built their own kitchens and latrines, let’s share the existing kitchen and latrine. How about that?” Though she phrased it as a question, there was no room for doubt.

Xiao Qinghe knew Qingyue was looking after him and felt warmth in his heart. “Qingyue, there’s no need…”

Su Qingyue pointed out, “The stretch of rooms, with the kitchen on the right in the front yard, and the latrine and bathing facilities to the right in the backyard, I’ve already designed it all to belong to fourth brother.”

Li Rong’er, thinking about how Xiao Qinghe had already received so much land and a new house and that such a useless person who had done nothing to deserve it, was getting so much, felt disgruntled about the apparent lack of fairness. “To avoid unfairness…”

“Fair?” Su Qingyue scoffed. “You’re dividing up fields I bought and houses I built and talking to me about fairness?”

The new house’s deed bore the names of the Xiao Family’s three sons, thus a third of the house was in Xiao Yishan’s name, along with over thirty acres of fields in his name. Since Xiao Yishan was unwilling to give them up, she would have to force him if she wanted otherwise.

For the sake of third brother and fourth brother, she decided to let it go.

Li Rong’er didn’t dare to speak up again, afraid that any more words might mean she ended up with nothing.

Xiao Yishan was so angry he thought of refusing the fields, but he restrained himself. “Let’s go with… Qingyue’s wishes.” He then turned to Xiao Qinghe, “Fourth Brother, come live with me.”

Xiao Yuchuan spoke up too, “Fourth Brother, stay with third brother. He will take care of you.”

“When villagers divide the family property, the youngest brother typically stays with the eldest brother,” Xiao Yishan solemnly stated.

Li Rong’er, considering that if Xiao Qinghe stayed with Xiao Yishan, he would have more than 33 acres of land and four new rooms, and wouldn’t need to rebuild the kitchen or latrine, also said, “Yes, fourth brother… Qinghe, you should stay with Brother Xiao. I will make sure to treat you well with him.”
