Little Zi Yongxian wanted to study but did not do any work.

The second young master, Yongjin, worked at the tavern and had his food, drink, lodging, and sanitation taken care of by his three brothers.

There is still five hundred yuan of wages left after a month.

A year's worth is just six taels of silver.

San Xiaozi Yongzhi had always been following the mason master from the neighboring village to learn a trade.

The wages are treated as tuition. Throughout the year, he only comes back home for two nights during holidays. He doesn't need to worry about his daily needs like eating, sleeping or using the restroom.

>

If they were to separate, it would be him and the Jin family taking the four youngest sons, Yongqing.

In that year, the second son's income was six ounces of silver, deducting three ounces of silver to pay for Yongxian's schooling.

The remaining three taels of silver, even without working the land, would be enough to keep his small family of three going.

What's more, moving out means getting a share of the farmland.

Let Jin Guanyin take care of the vegetable garden and household chores.

Renting out a few mu of farmland, collecting some rent each year.

Oh my goodness, life is really good these days.

As long as Yongjin does as well as the restaurant, just tell his third uncle later and make Yongjin a small manager.

Or raise the wages, then that would be even more generous.

After a year and a half, Yongxian will take another exam for fame.

Then Yang Huainan transformed himself into an old master.

It's great.

Well, splitting up, this family is due for a split!

Good things don't travel far, while bad news spreads for miles.

News that the fifth branch of the Lao Yang family was planning to establish their own household spread to Yang Hualin in town by the afternoon.

When it was time for dinner, Yang Huilin hopped into his carriage and rushed back to the village.

The Lao Yang family is going to hold a family meeting again.

The meeting place was still Lao Yangtou's east room.

Even Yang Huaming, who was bruised and battered, was carried to the east wing by Yang Huanan and Yang Huzhou.

Yang Ruqing and Yang Huazhong also came to listen.

At this time, it was getting dark outside, but the lights were already on in the eastern room.

Yang Ruqing sat quietly on a stool in the corner, her gaze sweeping across the people in the room.

Old Yang lay back on his bed, wrapped in a coat.

>

He held a dried tobacco pipe in his hand, smoking silently.

Tan stood beside the bed, her hands tucked into her sleeves, turned her head away, and glared at the canopy over the bed, ignoring everyone in the room.

Here is the translation: Please note that I have removed the unnecessary text before and after the

tag. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In front of the bed, there were two long stools.

Yang Huanan and Yang Hulin sat on one.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaizhou sat on a bench.

>

Yang Huaming sat on a stool with a backrest not far away. There was also a small stool in front of the stool, with a leg frame tied with planks placed on top. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Liu stood behind Yang Huaming, her eyes darting back and forth.

The house was packed with people, yet it was eerily silent.

Yang Ruqing pursed her lips secretly. This is the calm before the storm, as they say?

After a long while, Lao Yang finally pulled the dry tobacco pipe from his mouth.

He lightly rapped on the bunk beds beside him, his tiger eyes sweeping over his five sons in front of him.

Finally, it landed on Yang Huaizhou.

Lao Yangtou said to Yang Huazhou, "Old Five, there's no medicine for regret in this world. The matter of dividing the family, you can still turn back now..."

"Father, let's separate, I have no regrets!"

Yang Huazhou looked directly up and interrupted Lao Yangtou's words.

Old Yang was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh of regret.

The old man's gaze shifted to his other sons.

I called you all here tonight to talk about the matter of the Fifth House splitting off.

>Lao Yang said.

Several sons silently lowered their heads to listen.

Old Yang said, "In my whole life, I don't ask for anything else, just hoping for a large family with many grandchildren and a prosperous business."

"As the saying goes, 'A harmonious family brings prosperity to all.' I hope you brothers will be united and kind to each other, sharing a common pot of rice together and living in peace."

But, it didn't go as planned!

"Three households split off three years ago, and this year, the fifth household is making a fuss about establishing its own. "

“This house, it's going to be dispersed!”

Old Yang shook his head, his face filled with despair.

Across from him, Yang Huaming was the first to chime in: "I disagree with Fifth Brother splitting off."

"Fifth brother, don't be swayed by a woman's sweet talk. We brothers should stick together like garlic cloves, always around each other."

>

"A single chopstick is easily broken, but a pair of chopsticks is much more sturdy. Don't you understand this?"

Yang Huaming questioned Yang Huazhou urgently.

Upon hearing Yang Huaming's words, Lao Yang's eyes lit up and he was filled with joy.

I never expected this lazy and unreliable fourth son to be so righteous at a critical moment!

Old Yang's eyes lit up with a spark of hope as he looked at Yang Huazhou.

Yet, Yang Huazhou sat there with a stiff face.

Faced with Yang Huaming's question, Yang Huaizhou raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, openly displaying disdain on his face.

"Yang Huaming, you have the face to say such things?"

Yang Huazhou questioned back.

“You eat the most, do the least!”

Among a bunch of chopsticks, you're just an imposter bamboo stick.

“Of course you don’t want to split up, do you? A lazy good-for-nothing like you would starve if you left this group!”

Yang Huazhou's words were blunt and incisive, directly hitting Yang Huaming's weaknesses.

>

Yang Huaming was speechless, his face flushed red.

Those on the edge heard and gasped in unison.

This honest man, his tongue is not ambiguous at all.

In the corner, Yang Ruqing's eyes sparkled as she looked at Wu Shu.

Wow, Uncle Five is so handsome tonight!

Like it!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

On one side of the bed, Lao Yang raised his hand and stopped Yang Huaming and Yang Huazhou's argument.

Let's hear what our eldest and second brother have to say!

Old Yang said, then turned his gaze to Yang Huanan and Yang Hulin.

The old man understood in his heart that the Fifth House couldn't be kept.

Thinking that he would have to divide the land between two people again, the old man's heart ached...

It's just a formality to try and keep someone.

As long as the first and second houses strongly oppose Five House splitting away, this opinion is unified. Five House will insist on splitting if they do.

Thus, leaving the house was a natural consequence. Villagers would only blame the Fifth House for being unfilial.

Old Yang's mind was made up, and his loving gaze fell upon Yang Huaan.

"Boss, what do you think of this?" he asked.

Yang Huai'an looked up, his face full of difficulty: "You can't force someone to do something they don't want to do. If the Fifth House really wants to leave, it's no use trying to keep them."

"Perhaps it's best to just let them have their way!" Yang Huai'an said.

Lao Yang was stunned, thinking he must have misheard.

Even Tan Shi turned his face, staring at Yang Huai'an in astonishment.

Yang Huai'an dared not meet the gaze of his elders. After speaking, he quickly lowered his head and stared at his toes.

Old Yang's brow furrowed, and he placed his hopes on Yang Hualin once again.

"Lao Er, what do you think?"

Yang Hualin curled his lips: "It's none of my business whether the five houses are divided or not." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Today I rushed back all night to tell my parents this.”

“Our Second House is going to establish its own household. Father and Mother, please see that our Second House's farmland be divided out!” Yang Hualin said.

"What?"

Old Yang was so startled that the pipe he was holding fell to the ground.

He stretched his neck, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

It's almost 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list and on May 15th, the red envelope rain can be returned to readers and promote works. Even a little bit is love, I will definitely do my best!
