Everyone had their say, and with each word, Lin Jianling's old face flushed red and then turned pale. There was no solution; what they said was the truth. The eldest son, being Mr. Accountant, simply did no physical work, and the third son's behavior did not indicate a steadfast worker, only the second son could…
At this thought, Lin Jianling actually felt some heartache for the second son, but then he thought of the several mouths to feed in the second son's family, and his own exemplary grandsons, Lin Jianling's heart had to harden. Even if the villagers laughed at him, the division had to be made. When his grandsons became successful and held high office, wouldn't they then flock to curry favor with him!
"Sixth Uncle, this girl must have misunderstood. Although it's a piece of land, it's that one at the south end of the village. With the second son's household in such difficulty, how could I treat my own flesh and blood unfairly?"
