"Yes, and regarding the retirement issue," Madam Chen immediately nodded, having remained silent before. To be honest, she had been quite hurt by her sons.
"For retirement, each family will give five dollars a year, and make a set of clothes for your mother and me. If we, the two old folks, fall sick, the medical expenses should be shared equally among you brothers," Old Xu said.
"Forget about the five dollars for this year. Since we just split the family, it's understandable that your lives won't be easy. Let's start this from next year," Old Xu added.
None of the brothers spoke. It was clear that the old man had already made up his mind.
Though Madam Chen was usually quite dominant at home, when it came to major decisions, it was still Old Xu who had the final say.
Zhao Guodong quickly wrote down what needed to be documented, made several copies, and gave them to Old Xu and the Xu Family brothers, having them make handprints to give it legal effect.
