When Old Master Su said this, Old Master Su’s wife also spoke in unison, saying that all these things belonged to Little Sweetheart.
Qi Liangying said this with some reluctance, but it wasn’t her own property. Although she was envious, she wasn’t greedy.
This was her personality; she always worried about suffering losses, but now that life was getting better.
Moreover, the entire family’s life was better because of Little Sweetheart, and she had become more open-minded and clear-headed.
“Let’s divide it according to what Grandpa and Grandma agreed on before. The things in the house belong to everyone,” Su Xiaotian said quickly.
She still had many treasures in her system space, but it was not convenient to take them out now.
At least, she didn’t need to cause discord among her family members over these things.
Besides, in her previous life, her brothers treated her very well. Her greatest hope in this life was for everyone in the family to live a good life.
“Your mother and I were thinking of giving one-third to Little Sweetheart, and the rest for you to divide,” Grandpa Su followed Su Xiaotian’s wishes.
“Then let’s divide it, Father!” Old Master Su the Third said, looking at Liang Xiu.
If all these treasures were to remain with the third branch, their eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, and sister-in-law would likely become estranged from them in the future.
It was not worth letting family members be at odds with each other over external possessions.
“Each of your families will get three large gold bars, including Manxiu’s family. Do you have any objections?” Grandpa Su asked.
The brothers all shook their heads, indicating no objections.
Although in the countryside, daughters did not receive a share when families divided property, their family’s situation was special, and it was only right to give a share to their elder sister.
Grandpa Su looked at Old Master Su the Second and his wife and said, “The second branch will get one extra large gold bar. Three large gold bars for four children, it’s not easy to divide.”
Grandpa Su estimated that these gold bars might not be of much use to his sons, hence his statement.
Old Master Su the Second did not expect his father to have thought of this.
“Father, we in the second branch will be taking advantage of this,” Old Master Su the Second said, scratching his hair in annoyance.
“We won’t give any small gold bars to your second branch. We’ll give four pieces to each of the other families, so the second branch will have a slight advantage.”
Grandpa Su naturally would not show favoritism to any one son, so he added.
One large gold bar was roughly equivalent to ten small gold bars. Calculated this way, the shares for each family were about the same, with the second branch having a slight advantage.
It had to be said that the harmony of the Su family over the years was mainly due to the elders being fair. Although they appeared to dote on Su Xiaotian more, it was not excessive.
Therefore, the third branch of the Su family could live in harmony.
If the elders had been completely biased, life would surely not have continued smoothly.
The three brothers of the Su family all nodded, agreeing with Grandpa Su’s words.
“As for the remaining eight large gold bars and six small gold bars, your mother and I will keep two large gold bars, and the rest will go to Little Sweetheart. Do you have any objections?” Grandpa Su asked for their opinions.
Old Master Su the First and Old Master Su the Second, who had initially felt they shouldn’t take these, now had no objections and immediately expressed them.
“Manxiu’s share will be kept by Little Sweetheart first. You can take your respective shares home and hide them.”
As for where to hide them, he would not interfere. In any case, each family did not have too much, and they would always find a way.
Grandpa Su said, taking out the gold bars one by one and handing them to his three sons according to what was agreed.
Holding the heavy gold bars, the Su brothers were somewhat stunned.
In this lifetime, they had the chance to touch gold bars, and more importantly, these gold bars were their own!
As for the younger generation of brothers in the Su family, they were all dumbfounded.
They had always wondered how their family of humble farmers had suddenly become so wealthy.
From now on, they would all be people with gold nuggets in their hands.
Was this what it felt like to become nouveau riche?
Su Xiaosi began to calculate how much profit could be made if all this gold was converted into money for business.
Could he open several chain stores?
“Father, where should we put so much gold?” Wang Xianghua asked naively.
“You can decide that yourselves. Or, you can divide it among the children in the family!”
Grandma Su was amused by the eldest daughter-in-law’s demeanor!
“This box has a hidden compartment, containing some jewelry and jade. Since we are dividing the family property, let’s divide these as well.”
“Grandpa, there’s more?” Su Xiaosi asked in surprise.
This was clearly a path to riches!
“We’re not sure of the value, so let’s divide it into six shares. Each of you three brothers gets one share, Little Sweetheart gets one share, Manxiu gets one share, and your mother and I get one share,” Grandpa Su said decisively after opening the hidden compartment of the box and looking at the dazzling jewelry.
As expected, the other members of the Su family had no objections and simply and roughly divided all the jewelry, each taking a share.
The women used handkerchiefs to wrap their respective shares, leaving Su Xiaotian’s and Su Manxiu’s on the table.
After Old Master Su the Third and Liang Xiu exchanged glances, they placed the gold bars and jewelry they had received in front of Little Sweetheart.
Su Xiaotian was stunned and asked, “Father, Mother, what are you doing?”
“This is all for you. Aren’t you going to open a factory in Licheng?” Liang Xiu said to her daughter with a gentle smile. “Your two brothers have no objections!”
The in-laws had brought out these things precisely for this reason. As parents, they naturally should consider their children more.
Su Xiaowu was not present, only Su Xiaoba. He quickly said, “Little Sweetheart, it’s all yours. I don’t want it.”
Whether Fifth Brother wanted it or not, he didn’t know, but he himself didn’t want it. Anyway, he had money and a house now.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su had the same intention, but they couldn’t say it in front of their other sons and daughters-in-law, so they didn’t speak.
Su Xiaotian quickly pushed these treasures back and said, “Father, Mother, you don’t need to. I have enough with what I have. Keep your share, it’s not very valuable now, but it will be worth a lot in a few years.”
Su Xiaotian had already seen that there were top-notch items among these jewelry and jades, which were enough to be considered heirlooms.
In other words, the truly valuable items in the box were not the gold on top, but the jewelry below.
At this time, even eating was a problem, so who would be able to appraise these?
But in a few more years, as life in every household improved, jewelry would become valuable.
“Little Sweetheart, you use it first. When we have money later, we’ll buy more!” Liang Xiu said stubbornly.
Her daughter had already borrowed fifty thousand yuan. If she continued to borrow, her mother would probably lose sleep.
At this moment, Qi Liangying and Wang Xianghua exchanged glances and suddenly pushed their shares towards Su Xiaotian.
For this family division, the in-laws supported Little Sweetheart in building the factory. As elders, they couldn’t be so selfish.
Grandma Su was quite surprised by the generosity of the two daughters-in-law in giving away what they had received.
As for the eldest daughter-in-law, it was understandable, but she truly didn’t expect it from the second daughter-in-law.
