Su Shan did not believe that his nephew and his wife would give up the right to operate the farm without any plans.
How much effort had the couple put into the farm over the years?
As for what the village said, that the village head, now the village head's daughter-in-law Tian Xiaohe, had spread the word that the eldest brother and his wife did not want to conflict, he also did not believe it.
If the eldest brother's family had been so hesitant, they would not have the life they had now.
This afternoon, Su Shan sat by the field for a whole afternoon.
He didn't know what his thoughts were now.
In the village, all the families who had a good relationship with the eldest brother's family had lived good lives, but he, the brother, had missed the opportunity.
But should he blame his eldest brother for this?
No, blame himself!
The eldest brother and his wife lived a tranquil life in the village, preparing to leave.
Finally, the policy of household contract responsibility system was fully implemented in the village.
The Su family had a large population and received a lot of cultivated land.
In this regard, the villagers actually had opinions.
Some people proposed that the Su family members no longer lived in the village and should not be allocated cultivated land.
But Su Changjiu said that the Su family members were only working odd jobs outside for the time being, and except for the children who had already gone to college, all other registered villagers should be allocated cultivated land.
However, the eldest brother and his wife did not plan to stay in the village to farm, so they simply rented out all their cultivated land to others.
As for the farm, Tian Xiaohe successfully contracted the pig farm and was very proud.
She even said in front of the eldest brother and his wife that even if she didn't go out to sell eggs, she could still live a good life.
When Wang Xianghua heard this, she wanted to rush up and tear her apart, but she was held back by the eldest brother.
"Hmph, it's obvious that he's a landlord and a ruthless exploiter. It's just a little bit of land from your family. You don't farm it yourself, but you still want rent! You don't know that the store they opened selling eggs, their little exploiter still wants twenty percent of the profit!"
When the people around heard Tian Xiaohe speaking more and more outrageously, they advised, "This is also normal. It's their land, and it's not wrong to ask for some rent. They are not like the landlords of the past who would take sixty to seventy percent of the income, and a mu of land would cost a hundred catties of grain a year. This is excellent irrigated land."
Tian Xiaohe was someone who couldn't listen to advice, and directly glared and said, "Are you flattering them because they have money?"
After speaking, she glanced proudly at the eldest brother and his wife and said, "I am someone who cannot tolerate sand in my eyes. I don't indulge such people. If you don't exploit others, you can still live a good life by relying on yourself!"
Wang Xianghua was so angry. What did she mean by that?
How had their family exploited others?
"Don't pay attention to such people, they are like mad dogs!" The eldest brother was also angry, but he didn't want to argue further. Instead, he pulled his wife home.
Since Tian Xiaohe contracted the pig farm, the eldest brother no longer went to the pig farm.
Tian Xiaohe herself had raised pigs at home, but she had never raised so many. For a time, it was chaos.
She then complained to the eldest brother that as neighbors, no one helped.
"Didn't you say you were capable of raising these pigs yourself? Second daughter-in-law, these pigs of yours have costs. If you can't raise them well, let alone get rich and live a good life, it will be difficult to even maintain this kind of life."
Su Changjiu now realized that this youngest daughter-in-law spoke well, but now it seemed that she lived by her words.
That evening, Su Changjiu discussed with his wife about dividing the family and living separately.
Su Changjiu's two sons were already married, but like the Su family, they had always lived together.
Suddenly saying that they wanted to divide the family, Su Changjiu's wife was very surprised.
"Why do you want to divide the family and live separately?"
Su Changjiu's wife felt that it was lively for the family to live together, so she was not very willing to divide the family.
"It was fine to live together before, but I see that the second daughter-in-law is not a sensible person. If she contracts the pig farm, she will probably lose money!" Su Changjiu said with concern.
Su Changjiu's wife glared at her husband and said, "What are you saying? If the second daughter-in-law hears this, won't she argue with you? Say you don't wish her well?"
Su Changjiu snorted and said, "I wish her well, but look, how can it be good like this?"
"Alas, what you said is not unreasonable. How about we divide the family? But we have two sons, we have to live with one of them, right?" Although Su Changjiu's wife was not very willing to divide the family, she had indeed thought of Tian Xiaohe's recent absurd behavior.
"Divide them all. We old couple can still live, and raising a daughter is also fine. They just need to give us some pension money every year!"
There were also many families who divided their families like this, and the village head's wife also agreed.
Soon, the news of Su Changjiu's family dividing spread throughout the village.
At this time, the eldest brother and Wang Xianghua had already packed their luggage and were preparing to go to the capital.
The two of them were still talking about this matter on the train.
"Why did the village head's family divide so easily?" Wang Xianghua said with emotion.
"You watch, I don't think Tian Xiaohe is a serious pig farmer. I passed by the farm yesterday, and the pigs were thin."
When he said this, the eldest brother was truly heartbroken.
"You went specifically to see it, didn't you? I've never seen anyone like you. You've even developed feelings for raising pigs!" Wang Xianghua said with a smile.
"How can you not have feelings? Do you dare to say that you don't have feelings for the chicken farm?"
"The chicken farm has already been given to others. What can I do if I'm reluctant?" Wang Xianghua said with a hint of sadness.
"People always have to look forward." The eldest brother said with emotion.
In the past few years, their family had looked forward, and that's why they had slowly gotten better.
"You really saw those pigs get thin? It's only been a few days?" Wang Xianghua asked.
"Of course. The piglets were so plump before, and now they've lost a lot of weight."
"Then I understand. The village head is afraid that Tian Xiaohe will lose money and affect the family's livelihood."
When Wang Xianghua said this, the eldest brother still couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it, it was indeed possible.
If Tian Xiaohe lost money, and they didn't divide the family, they would have to bear the losses together. But if they divided the family, losing money would be Tian Xiaohe's own business.
At that time, it would be no one else's business if Tian Xiaohe sold everything she had.
"You might have guessed correctly. Big Brother Changjiu is also a sensible person. How could he not see that Tian Xiaohe has no real ability?" The eldest brother said.
"Forget it, let's not think about others. As for us, we don't know how we will live when we go to the capital." Wang Xianghua was still a little apprehensive about the unknown future.
And Tian Xiaohe still felt that the pig farm she contracted, according to the pig farm's profits last year, her life would visibly improve in the future.
It was good to divide the family, so as not to be dragged down.
