"Okay, let's not talk about it. Shall we go home?" Gao Mutou brought it up again.
"Just separating the family like this, I fear that Father and Mother won't let it go. What conditions did they propose, and how were the issues with the gambling house and the second wife's room resolved?"
Whether we go back or not can be decided later; we need to figure this out first.
Mistress Yan certainly doesn't want to go through being a slave for others again, only to be sold in the end.
"The gambling house debt was cleared by mortgaging five acres of the family's field, leaving twenty-five acres. Since the second house caused trouble this time, they were given two rooms in the front yard. Big Brother wants to take the imperial exams, so Father decided that the main house gets the big share with ten acres; Father and Mother get two acres. The fifth brother isn't married yet, and he'll need money for that, so he got five acres. We and the fourth house each got four acres."
