章 87: Chapter 87 Dividing the Family Agreement (Part 7)

Dividing the family estate inevitably involves the participation of maternal uncles, but no one from Tian Xiaoju's maternal family attended. Strictly speaking, Tian Xiaoju's maternal family had no one left.

The one or two who could be called cousins were, in fact, distant relatives whose kinship was no longer close. Plus, there was no usual contact, so naturally, no one thought to invite them.

According to old customs, division of property was a matter for men, and women did not participate. Despite many years of liberation, such views were still deeply ingrained in the minds of many people.

This time at Xie Changgen's household, they did not adhere to such particular customs. With his insistence, aside from witnesses, the parents of both daughters-in-law participated. Everybody in the family including the elderly couple, the eldest son and his spouse, and the second son and his spouse also sat down together.
