บท 128: Chapter 128: Lost in Thought

In the village, dividing property required the presence of the Village Chief to preside over the event, and it was best to invite a few reputable elders as well. Their collective witnessing could ensure a fairer division. Han Jincai had no intention of favoring any of his sons. He also sent the remaining three sons to invite people. Meanwhile, the daughters-in-law busied themselves with boiling water and preparing tea cakes as refreshments for the Village Chief and the other elders.

Mrs. Yang was disgruntled but could not object. She sat with a stern face, unwilling to speak to anyone. The other daughters-in-law did not want to incur Mrs. Yang's wrath, so they diligently prepared the tea and tea cakes. Dividing the property had its advantages and disadvantages, but all things considered, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks. Therefore, aside from Mrs. Yang, the sisters-in-law generally felt quite cheerful.
