Chapter 408: Thirty Acres

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Dachun and his wife lived in the old house in the middle of the village, together with Su Xuewus house. After the family divided their a.s.sets, the three brothers redistributed their homesteads and built their own houses. Su Xuewen was the eldest son and logically should have lived with his parents. However, he was driven out because he didnt have a son.

Initially, they thought that Su Xuewen would have nowhere to live after being driven out and would have to settle for a thatched hut. However, he turned around and built a house with big bricks and tiled roof. Su Dachun and Ma Xiulan deeply regretted their decision.

At this moment, the courtyard of the old house was filled with people from the Su family in the village. Almost every family with the surname Su in the village had come. The older ones sat down, while the others stood since there werent enough chairs. Seizing the moment when Su Wen wasnt yet present, Su Xuewu and Su Xueqiang, the two brothers, were fervently rallying the crowd.

After listening for a long time, everyone nodded.

This was not something that had happened in a day or two. Ever since the

village had divided the land, they had already discussed it in private. No matter what, they could not allow Su Wen to have so much land under her control. Dividing the land among the girls wouldnt lead to proper cultivation. It was necessary to reclaim some.

We gathered everyone here today mainly for the land in Wens hands. She must give up 30 out of 40 acres of land. 10 acres can be left for her. Su Dachun smoked his pipe and said slowly, Ive thought it over regarding this 30 acres. Ill give Xuewu and Xueqiang 10 acres each, which subtracts 20 acres. The remaining 10 acres will be held in my possession for now, and well decide on its use later.

The last 10 acres were said to be arranged in the future, but they just wanted to maintain control of it! With these 10 acres, whoever wanted it would have to curry favor with him.

Isnt that too much?

I think we should leave half for Wen.

This

Everyone was shocked by Su Dachuns greed. Though they disliked how much land Su Wen held, asking for 30 acres at once was too much. If word got out, the villagers wouldnt say anything nice either.

Third grandma sat on the chair and frowned. Dachun, think about it. I think 20 acres will do. Wen had grown much stronger now. She wasnt someone who could be bullied like before. Asking for 20 acres to be taken away might not be successful.

Recently, the Su family had been humiliated many times. They were almost the laughingstock of Trinity village. If this matter was blown up again because of the land, they would not look good.

No! Before Su Dachun could say anything, Su Xueqiang jumped out first.

Third grandma, youre wrong. Leaving 10 acres for Su Wen is perfect. She and Zhou Hengyang each have five acres of land. The others will get married soon anyway. These lands belong to us with the surname Su. We cant let them fall into the hands of outsiders.

Su Xuewu also said gloomily, In my opinion, we should just leave her five acres. Zhou Hengyang is just a live-in son-in-law. What right does he have to have land?

The courtyard became very quiet. No one agreed.

Su Xuewus face darkened on the spot. He was the accountant of the village, and his status and power were higher than those present. In the past, as long as he spoke, no one dared to object. Everyone would agree. But from some point on, it seemed to have changed.

Not only was Su Xuewu displeased, but even Su Dachun and Ma Xiulan felt uneasy. They found it strange that it wasnt like this in the past. Everyone used to support such things eagerly and pa.s.sionately.

Su Wen was just a young girl. Even if she was a loss maker and has an uxorilocal marriage, she still wasnt part of the family.

She was just an outsider, so she naturally had to s.n.a.t.c.h whatever benefits she had.

However, the situation had clearly changed now. The fact that Third grandma had spoken up for Su Wen. This was absolutely impossible in the past.

Wen is here.

Su Xueyong, who was guarding the door, shouted. Everyone looked at the door. Su Wen and her six younger sisters followed behind her with their heads held high.

Su Wen, why did you bring them here? Ma Xiulan stood up abruptly and scolded in disgust, Chase these good-for-nothings out. As she looked at Sixth sister and Little sister, her eyes were malicious, as if they had been poisoned..
