The biggest loser this time might very well be the fourth branch, but Qiao Yuanzhen didn't care. He never liked to quibble over such matters, and besides, he was aware of the private stash of silver his parents had; that money would still end up being his, wouldn't it? Not to mention, Li Qinghe had over a hundred taels on her.
The matter of the family division had finally come to an end. The couple from the eldest branch hurried to start building their new house. As for everyone else, their lives didn't change much—they still lived in the same places—but they no longer had to hand over their money to the public fund, which for Madam Liu, was the greatest happiness.
Li Qinghe was also happy inside. After all, her father-in-law had a big bias against Muniang, making it hard for her to interact with Muniang. Now that the family was split, she naturally didn't have to be as restrained as before, and she went to tell Muniang the good news first thing the next morning.
