Chapter Seventy-One: The Old Lady of the Ruined Hou Mansion (5)

Because of this, when they heard Qiao Mu say that they were willing to give each of them a courtyard, they were all a little silent and stopped persuading.

Wen Qilian wanted to say something more, but the Xiao family next to him knew very well that the old lady had already made up her mind, so she hurriedly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Don't persuade again."

My mother had already told me about this half a month ago, and I should not change it. ”

Wen Qilian heard his daughter-in-law say this, and immediately understood that this matter was obviously not a whim of his mother, but that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he only told them today.

Naturally, he no longer spoke to dissuade him.

"Don't be busy in the near future, Steward Min will call you over to divide the family after the account is settled, so don't run around during this time, just stay at home, lest you be there when I look for someone again."

If it's okay, go back first, I'll be busy here for a while, Huiwen, you stay, help Steward Min sort out the accounts together, I recently taught Steward Min a new bookkeeping method, you follow along. ”

Qiao Mu looked at the sons and more than a dozen daughters-in-law with a vague look of longing, and immediately knew that the move of splitting the family was the right move, this matter, obviously most people are willing, as long as she doesn't be too harsh when she turns around and officially separates the family, according to the rules, they will not be resentful, and they will naturally not make trouble when they turn back.

Although the dozen or so concubines' daughters-in-law who heard Qiao Mu's words were a little envious of the Xiao family, they still bowed and said goodbye one by one and left Wenxi Hall.

Wen Qi even left the same way.

Next, Qiao Mu took a group of maids to drum up the new style of fragrant pancreas, and her eldest daughter-in-law followed Steward Min to sort out the things that were confiscated, and sorted out all the things that were confiscated, and learned the new bookkeeping methods that Qiao Mu came up with.

Because there are indeed a lot of things, and Xiao has to learn and memorize at the same time, it took three full days in the end, and it was not easy to sort out all those things.

After that, it's time to split up.

A few days ago, Qiao Mu said in Wenxi Hall that when the family was separated, although a few concubines were not there, but the concubines and daughters-in-law were all there, and it was obviously impossible for those concubines and daughters-in-law to hide such a big thing from their husbands, so three days later, when the next person came to inform them to go to Wenxi Hall, everyone didn't think there was anything strange, and there was even a vague longing and expectation in their hearts, looking forward to how many things they could get by dividing the family?

Qiao Mu saw that his nominal seventeen sons, as well as the patriarch of the Wen family and several clan elders had arrived, so he picked up the account book and said:

"I would like to invite a few of you to come here for the sake of the separation of the family, and I would like you to help me testify.

According to the usual practice, the eldest son can get seventy percent of the family property, and the rest of the sons-in-law and the remaining concubines are divided into three percent, and now there are no other sons-in-law in this family except Qi Lian, so the family property is divided into thirty percent of your sixteen, there is no opinion on this, right? ”

"That's how it should be!"

The patriarch of the Wen family first stated that the division of the family property is actually quite manipulative, and theoretically speaking, even if it is divided into one percent, it is not illegal, because the law in this area is quite loose, even if it is not divided, then at most others say two harsh words or something, anyway, it is not illegal, and thirty percent is just a conventional division under normal circumstances.

"Mother, I don't have an opinion!"

The sixteen concubines who were listening naturally also said that they had no opinion, and the three-percent family property was already the largest share that a family with a son-in-law could give to other children, just for this, outsiders would say that their mother was generous and kind and good to the concubine, if they objected again, what would it look like.

"It's good if there are no comments.

There are a total of 260,000 silver deposits at home, where did it come from, you should also know very well, what the original public treasury at home is like, you should also know it, so I will give you a whole, 5,000 taels of silver per person, in addition, and give each of you a 10-hectare Zhuangzi, two 5-hectare Zhuangzi with a shop and a courtyard in the second entrance of the capital, jewelry, antiques and some other objects, also valued to each of you to divide the point, when the time comes, you will draw lots yourself.

The rest will be inherited by the eldest son! ”

At this time, Qiao Mu actually gave them more than 30 percent, but according to 30 percent, they should be given more than 4,800 taels per person, which is calculated to the real number, it inevitably seems a bit calculating, so they simply made up a whole for them, and the same is true for the fields and yard shops.

Anyway, she has no shortage of means to make money, there is no need to worry about these concubines, and after the good things such as fragrant pancreas and glass are made, there is no need to worry.

"Thank you, Mother, Mother, for your generosity!"

How poor the house used to be, they actually knew it, and even the Xiao family had been pawning the dowry to fill in the loopholes, they were also very clear, but they didn't say it, at this time, as long as they did a little calculation, they knew that they actually still earned, if they really divided it according to thirty percent, they couldn't share these things at all.

So, how can you oppose rejection.

If a person is satisfied, he is not satisfied, and he turns around and annoys his mother-in-law, which is not good.

"Since there is no opinion, then sign the paperwork of the division of the family, Steward Min, give them all the things that should be assigned to them, and also catch the lots for them, and go back and take the things they caught from the treasury to them.

After the separation, I will prepare for you for half a month, and you will send someone to clean up your newly divided yard a little, and move over after packing up, so that you can also spare some time to hold a relocation banquet. ”

Qiao Mu said as he spoke, and at the same time motioned to a few maids on the side to give a gift to each of the patriarchs and several clan elders who came over this time, not only to bother them to come over, but also to let them go back and write the genealogy separately as soon as possible.

After signing the family separation documents, it can't be regarded as a real division, even if you go to the government to transfer the household, it doesn't count, you have to have the patriarch to write the family tree completely separately, this is the real division of the family, this is the characteristics of the clan society, sometimes the power of the clan overrides the imperial power.

Qiao Mu didn't have the heart to make a big move to change society, so he naturally had to follow the rules, and he should abide by the rules.

The following dozen or so concubines took the family documents one by one and read them carefully, and after finding that there was no problem, they hurriedly signed and drew the mortgage, and then they grabbed lots and formally divided the family property, and the scene seemed a little harmonious for a while.
