Zhulan explained, "Xue Han has been the steward for many years, and she is also reaching the age of marriage. For these two years, she will focus on preparing for her wedding, and she will no longer manage the household affairs in the future."
She paused before continuing, "From now on, the household expenses will be managed by the four of you in turns, each person for a month. I'm not worried about the third and fourth sons' wives, but the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife need to learn more. What you learn will be your own assets, and eventually you will have to manage the household by yourselves."
Lady Li responded quickly, asking cautiously, "Mother, do you mean to split the family?"
Zhulan smiled, "It's too early to split the family. We will have to wait until your father and I are unable to manage it."
Lady Li felt disappointed, so the family was still going to be split, "Mother, your daughter-in-law does not wish for the family to split."
