Let’s talk about it

The main hall of the Jiang family is quite large, divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There is a shrine in the inside room. On every Lunar New Year and Fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year or during every New Year's holiday, incense is offered to the ancestors of the family as offerings.

The outside room is where the family goes about their daily activities. There is an old portrait hanging in the middle of the front wall. In the painting, the old man is holding carpentry tools. Could this be the founder of Lu Ban?

And there are long couplets on both sides of the portrait, which read, "The sage's appearance has been admired for thousands of years, and the teacher's circle is the world's greatest honor."

It is really a portrait of the ancestor of carpenters. Old Man Jiang said that he is the 101st successor of Luban. Maybe it is true, but this inheritance begins to shrink from passing to passing.

From some of the patchwork furniture in the hall made with poor carpentry skills, it can be seen that Mr. Jiang's carpentry is only half full.

There is a set of tall tables and chairs in the front. The table is square and there are some crooked carvings on the sides.

The chair is a high-backed armchair, barely flat, but even though it looks unattractive, such furniture is still very precious in farmhouses.

There are usually two elderly people at home sitting in the front seat.

There are rows of chairs and stools on the left and right sides of the bottom, but the legs of many chairs are uneven, but the important thing is to get acquainted with people who can sit on them. There are two large round tables in the middle, some of the table legs are padded with stones, which are used for daily meals.

.

There are lounge chairs and other small furniture or tools nearby, some are made of wood, some are made of bamboo, or woven from wicker, but almost all of them are incomplete.

No wonder no one in the three bedrooms in the family wants to learn carpentry skills from Old Man Jiang. The masters are all half-skilled, so it’s only strange that the students can learn well.

But this kind of craftsmanship is enough for farmers. There is no place to sit in other people's homes, and you can't even see the shadow of the table.

After Mr. He entered the room, he automatically sat down on the right side of her seat, his face was solemn and he said nothing.

After Old Man Jiang came in, he sat on the left side of the front and pulled a chair next to him for Old Man Niu to sit with him.

Then the second room, Jiang Changan, and four others consciously took seats at the door on the left.

After a while, the eldest son and his family arrived. The thirty-two-year-old uncle Jiang Shimu had a serious face and brought his wife Li. Even the twelve-year-old eldest son Jiang Jiawen did not go to the Jiang family private school in the town today.

.

Dafang also has two daughters, the third and sixth among the three families. They are ten and seven years old respectively, named Jiang Xing and Jiang Tao. However, they have never gone to school.

The third room arrived late. Jiang Shisen followed his wife Jiang with his head downcast. There were several clear scratches on his face, which must have been scratched by Jiang.

The three sons of the third brother are also here, including eight-year-old Jiang Jiaxing who is studying at Jiang's private school, seven-year-old Jiang Jiawang who is studying in the town school like the second brother Jiang Jiabao, and four-year-old Jiang Jiarong.

They were ranked four, five, and eight, while Jiang Jiabao and Jiang Chang were ranked two and seven.

Except for the married fourth aunt Jiang Xiu, everyone in the Jiang family is here.

There are a total of sixteen people. Except for Jiang Changan, who was stupid before, everyone in the Jiang family looks neat and tidy. No one has any flaws. It can be regarded as a prosperous and blessed family. Old Man Jiang once regarded it as

Honor.

Unlike other households in the village, they are missing arms and legs, have large birthmarks on their faces, and are full of fools and lunatics.

But, what's the use of looking good? If you don't have a good heart, it's just a mess and it won't have any effect.

Moreover, there is already a gap between them. If they continue to mix things up, they will probably die from internal friction.

Then, just separate and live according to your own abilities. No matter what the outcome, you can't blame others.

After the people in the third room sat down, Old Man Jiang took out the list from the medical clinic and handed it to the boss, Jiang Shimu. There were five pieces of paper in total, one for each person who had seen the doctor.

"This is the pulse record and medication prescribed by the medical clinic. The old man has 30 taels and the follow-up medication has not been prescribed. I have 20 taels for the old man, and one tael for the other three, totaling fifty-one."

"Why are you spending money when you have nothing to do? And why should they?" Old Mrs. Jiang interrupted the conversation without waiting for Old Man Jiang to finish.

"Shut up! Do you need to spend money if you don't beat the three of them? If you hadn't been used to Jiang Laosan's problem, would the second child and I have been beaten to death by others? Do you still dare to talk nonsense? You are unrepentant.

!”

I have never beaten this old woman in my life, but I can still bear with her. Old Man Jiang is blowing his beard and staring.

"Then why don't you tell me why I beat them? It's all the fault of that bitch. I said at the beginning that I couldn't marry such a demonic woman, but you father and son didn't listen. Now it's better, and they are robbing them.

If you come here, you deserve to be beaten to death!"

At the beginning, Mrs. Jiang actually didn't stop her very forcefully. After all, Mr. Yao didn't need a betrothal gift to marry her. He was usually very diligent and gave birth to a son in the first year.

It wasn't until she gave birth to the little fool Jiang Chang'an that Mrs. Jiang didn't like anything about Yao, but Jiang Lao Er was very protective. Normally, she could only beat and scold Yao and the little fool in private, but this kind of opportunity

Very few.

Because the Yao family worked in the fields with Jiang Laoer, and Jiang Changan went to school at the age of three.

"Why is Mr. Yao so bad? He did his job honestly, gave birth to children for his second son, and lived happily for many years. If Jiang Laosan hadn't provoked the bully's wife, would he have come to visit her?

You stupid old woman, you still expect that my son and I deserve to die? You are really capable." The old woman was not like this when she was young, but people will always change, and they will not listen to what they say, and they will not be able to control even if they want to.

The kind of person who is too aggressive will eventually cause disaster.

"The third child is the one who provoked it. Why didn't they get the third wife to pay off the debt? They insisted on getting the second wife. She is not only beautiful, but who is to blame?" Mrs. Jiang was still blushing.

Sanfang Jiang's face darkened. She was so ugly, right? She was so ugly that she wouldn't give it to anyone else.

"You don't understand the truth and are still being arrogant. I don't want to listen to you anymore. If you say one more thing, I will divorce you back to your parents' home today." Old Man Jiang made his final decision.

Only then did Old Mrs. Jiang look at Old Man Jiang with a murmur. This old man had never spoken harsh words to her in his life, but now he wanted to divorce her and go back to her parents' home?

The old man treated her coldly just to say goodbye. Mrs. Jiang was so sad that she finally calmed down as if she had lost her soul.

Old Man Jiang then turned to the juniors and continued: "We brought 26 taels from home, 10 taels of which were borrowed, and we owe the medical center 25 taels, for a total debt of 35 taels.

Boss, please tell me your opinion first."

Boss Jiang held five medical records, his eyes never leaving. When he heard his father's question, he opened and closed his mouth again and again, but in the end, no words came out.

What can he say? He has no farming skills, so what can he say? Isn't it enough to have raised two households for many years?

Seeing this, Old Man Jiang became disappointed with his eldest son again, "Boss, you only see money spent, right?

But you don’t care at all that your father and brother, who spent so much money on medical treatment, are in good health now? Are their illnesses cured? Even if we are dead now, won’t you blink an eye?

Why are you so cold and selfish? It is true that your elder brother-in-law is the main work force in the family, but doesn’t the second wife do it? He is your biological brother, you must clearly distinguish him?

You all blame the second brother for sending a girl from Chang'an to study, but why haven't you ever thought that the second brother didn't spend any money when he married his wife?

You blame your mother for doting on the third child, who usually does less work, but half of the dowry brought by the third daughter-in-law was given to the father-in-law.

At that time, the three of you brothers were getting married one after another. The family had no money, so they used the dowry of the third daughter-in-law to survive those difficult days. Even the wedding expenses for the eldest family Jiawen were paid by the third daughter-in-law.

There are not many three brothers. If you work together, you can overcome many difficulties. The folks in the village will look up to you. No one will dare to bully you easily when you leave the mountain village.

Your mother and I worked hard to give you so many brothers, just hoping that you can unite and help each other, reach the top, and not suffer the hardship of being an only child who is bullied by others.

Like me, when something happens, I don’t have anyone to help me, and I don’t even get a share of the family land.” Old Man Jiang burst into tears, and he didn’t understand, why didn’t these children understand his good intentions?
