Qimu didn't immediately agree. She wasn't an expert in calculation, so she really didn't expect that Old Master Ye would be the last one to directly give her authority to deal with.
This was actually not appropriate due to both emotions and logic. Firstly, she was of the younger generation and secondly, she was a woman. However, Old Master Ye did as he said and took it for granted.
He was clearly such a traditional person, yet he didn't play his cards according to common sense. Especially that 'whoever doesn't listen to you, come and talk to me properly and see if I beat him to death', he couldn't be too obvious and too domineering. This old man who only knew how to use all sorts of fields and didn't like managing people, he was really cute at times.
Qimu quietly stared at Old Master Ye's lonely back. She was a little confused and her eyes turned heavy. After a while, she slowly raised a faint but calm smile. She surveyed her surroundings and said in a clear voice:
"Did everyone hear what Grandpa said?"
Everyone in the hall was looking at Qimu, but no one replied. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, and Qimu smiled, not minding at all as she continued:
"Since grandfather trusts me and wants me to deal with it, I will definitely do my best to prevent grandfather from getting angry again and injuring his body. Uncle, what do you say?"
Qimu turned her head to look at Ye Dazhang with a smile and looked at him with an honest and sincere gaze. Qimu turned her head to look at Ye Dazhang with a smile and looked at him with a smile.
"Of course. Since father has asked you to do it, you should do it properly. I will also help you."
Ye Dateng's tone was unnatural and uncomfortable, it was all in Qimu's eyes. However, Qimu understood him well, and there was even a hint of sympathy in her tone.
Ye Dateng was originally the eldest son of this Ye Family, but before Old Master Ye left, he handed the matter over to Qimu, who was younger than him. It was as if he was a teacher for dozens of years, and all of a sudden, a student taught by him became his leader, and even scolded him in front of everyone.
However, at this moment, Ye Da Teng was still able to say such words to show his support for her, and not to mock her, or even just flick his sleeves and leave. This man's breadth of mind was already pretty good.
"Thank you uncle."
Qimufu bowed politely towards Ye Dateng. If anyone respects me, then I salute them. When Ye Dateng saw this, his expression eased up a lot.
"First of all, let's talk about the most fundamental matter. What should we do with our family? Our second house was separated a long time ago, so this matter has nothing to do with our second house. The main issue is how to deal with our first house, third house, and grandparents."
"We are farmers, and the most important thing is the matter of crops. "Then, let's clear up the matter of farming first."
Our family has a total of ten acres of land. Grandfather gave three acres to us last time, so there are still seven acres left. Grandfather has three sons, and since he gave three acres to my family, he will definitely not mistreat his other two sons. So, uncle, Eldest Aunt, Third Aunt, the eldest house and the second house will each take three mu of land.
"Mm. Fine."
Even though he was the eldest son, logically speaking, he should have shared more, but there weren't many lands in the family. As the eldest brother, he should have taken more care of his two younger brothers, even if it wasn't that much, but it wasn't so much less in the Niu Village.
Zhang Chuncao agreed in her heart, but she did not dare to say anything more. After all, Qimu's family background was fair, and Zhang Chuncao had always been worried that if Mrs. Lee were to make this decision, with her extremely biased heart, her concubine would probably be completely suppressed by the Third Branch. She might even be laughed at to death by others.
"Alright."
Lee Zhiqing was silent for a while. Her nails dug into her flesh before she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word, "Yes."
Three mu of land, what was enough? Mu's calculations were quite good. Why were they all on the same level as the second floor? She still had an acre of land at home, so she planned to leave it there first before coming back to trick Old Master Ye, right?
"Since uncle, Eldest Aunt, and third aunt have all agreed, then we …"
As Qimu was speaking, Mrs. Lee suddenly slammed the table and roared aggressively:
"I'm not dead yet. Do you all think I'm dead? Are you all going to divide my family up just like that?"
"Boss, why don't you tell me. I've raised you for so long, where's your conscience …"
Qimu glanced sideways at Mrs. Lee, ignoring her crazy actions. She stretched out her hand and poured herself a cup of tea. She took a sip and frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "This tea is cold, it's really bitter."
Putting down the teacup and covering the teacup with the lid, Qimu gracefully and unhurriedly finished all this. She then asked Mrs. Lee, who was crying loudly, in a loud and clear voice,
"Grandma, who said we're going to split up?"
"You … Didn't you just say … "
"What did he just say?!"
Qimu let out a cold laugh. Her gaze slowly swept over everyone present. It was extremely sharp, but her tone was gentle as she said:
"I do remember, I said that in front of grandpa, we are not separated. The branch family I'm talking about now is actually split, and they are just borrowing this name. There shouldn't be anyone who thinks the same as grandma, right?"
"Grandfather is still alive. If this were to spread, would you intentionally curse him?" Want someone to poke our backs? "
Looking at the silent crowd, the corner of Qimu's lips curled up. She was very satisfied. In ancient times, when rules could not be changed, she would follow these rules and make use of them to allow her own life to go on.
It was best for the matter of the Ye Family division to not be spread out. It was best not to be spread out, as the heart of the struggle was not that easy to stand on.
"You all …"
Mrs. Lee looked at the entire room with grief and indignation. Did they think she was blind or deaf? This wasn't a branch family, what was she doing?
However, no one paid attention to her. Everyone's attention was on Qimu. To be exact, it was Qimu's words.
"Alright, since I've decided that each family will be divided into three acres of land, and when Grandpa is free, I've decided on the final piece of land for each family. From now on, each family will plant their own field, and the planting will be good, the planting will be bad, and the harvesting will be all depend on each family."
When these words were spoken, some were happy, while others were worried.
The happy thing was, of course, it was the master's house. In the matter of farming, the master's house and the second house had always been the main force. But doing the most work, the biggest benefit was the same as the second house.
The one who was worried was naturally Lee Zhiqing. After marrying into Ye Family, she did not actually do the work of farming, let alone Ye Yiming. She was treated like a treasure by Mrs. Lee, so how could she bear for him to do it?
On the surface, it sounded good. If it was three acres of land, then who was going to plant it?
Lee Zhiqing's expression suddenly turned extremely unsightly. She glared viciously at Qimu. You're not going to let me off easy …
