When Yue Zhongyao heard Wu's question, he made a plan.
Previously, Yu Ding told him that he would serve as a second-class bodyguard in Anjun Prince's Mansion, and he would receive a monthly salary of three taels of silver, and there might be some other things. Calculating this, he would have thirty or forty taels in hand after one year.
silver.
He eats and sleeps in the house by himself, and has clothes for all seasons, so he probably doesn't have much money to spend.
Then he said: "I will give my family ten taels of silver a year. If there is more, I will add more in the future."
Wu's eyes rolled, only twelve?
This son had three taels of silver a month after he became a catcher. Even now, he still has three taels of silver a month. In one year, he should not have more than thirty taels of silver. How can someone be sent away for only ten taels of silver?
"Only ten taels? Now you can get three taels back home in a month!"
Yue Zhongyao frowned and said: "Mother, my son still has to eat and drink. Besides, he has to socialize and socialize with the swords and arrows outside. Why don't we need to spend money? Ten taels of silver is already a lot. There are so many people in our family.
, I don’t need more than a few taels a year. Besides, my son still has to leave some money to support the family and the children.”
Wu's eyes widened: "Your mother-in-law still needs you to support her?"
Yue Zhongyao raised his voice and said: "Mother, what do you mean? Do you want your son to be a freeloader?"
"Why should she eat soft food? If she has money, she should be the one to support the family. Besides, since she married you, her things will naturally belong to you. If she can't give birth to a son in the future, her things will not belong to our Donggen and Beishu.
of?"
"Mother!" Yue Zhongyao shouted.
Also speaking in unison were Yue Lao Er and Yue Lao Si.
Yue Xiaoman also shouted, but her voice was drowned out by her three brothers.
It’s true that her mother, no matter how much she loves Donggen and Beishu, she can’t care so much about the third sister-in-law’s things. Besides, the third brother and the third sister-in-law are still young, why can’t they give birth to a son?
Yue Laoer and Yue Laosi were ashamed. In front of their brothers, this was a naked slap in the face.
"Mom, please stop talking nonsense. My son doesn't want to hear it!" Yue Zhongyao said with a frown.
"Mom, my third brother and sister-in-law are all still young and can have as many sons as they want. Besides, I will raise my son myself." Yue Laosi said to his mother.
Not to mention his mother's bad idea, even if he has many sons, he is not willing to go out.
Yue Laoer also hurriedly expressed his feelings.
He was just a son. There was no reason why the unknown incident had affected the relationship between the three brothers.
Sun and Yu lowered their heads and pursed their lips in silence. They didn't know what they were thinking.
The old man was very angry.
This old woman's calculations are getting louder and louder. She usually just makes secret plans. How can she say this in front of her son?
Are you afraid that your three sons won't be separated from each other or something?
Lao Yue slapped his head on the table and said loudly: "Since the third child is leaving soon, let's divide the family. This will save the inconvenience of dividing the family in the future when he is not at home."
"I don't agree with how to divide it!"
Wu said anxiously from the side.
How can she manage how many wives she has after the family is divided?
Let alone one of them run away. Will the other two still listen to her after they separate their families? She can still do it now, and she doesn’t want to live with any of her sons. Judging from the looks on her son’s and wife’s faces, she still feels comfortable running the family by herself.
Yue Zhongyao did not look at his mother, but said to the old Yuetou: "Dad, Xiaoman hasn't left home yet. If mother doesn't want to break up, just live like this with the second brother and the fourth brother. We will talk about it in the future. Just find the clan leader and village chief.
After writing the documents for the division of the family, it is enough to divide the son's house first. In the future, the son will probably have to make a living outside. Even if he cannot come back in the year, the son will bring back the pension money every year. It will also be written on the document.
Write clearly."
After hearing this, Lao Yuetou let out a long sigh.
The villagers who married their sons would often separate the families and let them live in other places. While the parents are still there, there is also a family relationship to connect with. If some trivial things affect the relationship between the brothers, I am afraid that they will have to wait for their parents.
A hundred years later, the brothers stopped moving around.
He and the Wu family are still here at this moment. Get the third brother out. If he makes a name for himself outside, while the three brothers are still in love with each other now, when the two of him and his wife leave, the third brother can also give him more support.
Two brothers.
After the old man thought it through, he said to Yue Zhongyao: "Dad, let's go to your uncle and the village chief. Sign the paperwork so you can prepare early. Are you leaving in the next two days?"
Yue Zhongyao thought that before leaving, he had to go to Yizhou to see his wife and daughter, and then rush to the capital. The Chinese New Year was in two months, and the days were tight, so it was better to leave early.
Then he said: "Yes, Dad, it's getting colder and colder today. It's not good to be blocked on the road by heavy snow."
When Lao Yuetou heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case. He got up hurriedly and was about to lead Yue Zhongyao out.
Wu was so angry that she wanted to take action against the two of them.
"Just calm down! Even if the third child is separated, it won't deprive you of food. You still have the second and fourth children by your side. Are you afraid that no one will feed you?"
Lao Yuetou glared at Mrs. Wu and went out with his hands behind his back, and Yue Zhongyao also followed.
Mrs. Sun and Mr. Yu were a little anxious. Aren't they going to split up their families? Why would they have three rooms and one house? They should keep the two rooms as usual?
"Father, mother, what about us?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu scolded: "You also want to separate? You want to live a free life without us two old people? I'm not dead yet! Let's separate our families!"
Sun and Yu looked at each other, and then pursed their lips when they saw the dissatisfied look their men cast towards them.
In fact, when it comes to dividing families, it is better to divide them, and it is better not to divide them.
Maybe this Yue Laosan can really make a name for himself outside, and his family can benefit from it. Besides, he has ten taels of pension money a year. If the family is divided, they will have nothing to do.
If they were still together, Mrs. Wu would never eat meat while watching her two grandsons eat glutinous vegetables.
If the ten taels of silver don't fall into their hands, some of it will always be revealed to their children. Their men have no ability, so there is nothing wrong with letting two old men raise their sons for them, and they don't have to spend money.
Besides, Lao Yuetou is still strong, and one person can do two jobs in the field. If the family is divided, they will not dare to ask him to do anything.
Besides, they also have to provide pension funds after the family is divided.
This is fine now.
After the two sisters-in-law figured it out, they happily went to persuade Wu.
Although Mrs. Wu was unwilling to do so, she couldn't bear it. Old Yuetou and Yue Zhongyao were determined to separate the family. Unable to hold them back, they had no choice but to curse bitterly in the hall.
And the old Yue Tou and Yue Zhongyao had already arrived at the homes of the clan leader and village chief.
The patriarch was Yue Zhongyao's uncle. Hearing that he wanted to separate the family, he said that it was because he could not fulfill his filial piety to his parents, so he didn't want a penny from the family. He just wrote a document asking the patriarch and the village chief to act as a middleman.
This kind of family separation method is simple and convenient, does not require their presence, and there are no disputes. It is just a piece of paper, so they are naturally happy to be witnesses.
In less than half an hour, Yue Zhongyao came back with the family separation documents.
Since I had decided to leave, I packed up at home.
In fact, there was nothing to pack, just a few changes of clothes, wrapped in a bag and tied up so lightly that they didn't even weigh half a ounce.
After packing his things, Yue Zhongyao ordered meat from the butcher in the village and prepared to invite several close family members to have a drink.
The uncle and fourth uncle were invited to the house for a drink. Yue Dalei and Yun Jin were invited to the workshop...
The night before leaving, Yue Zhongyao wandered outside Qiao Mingjin's yard alone for a long time...
I got up early the next morning, took out ten taels of silver and secretly gave it to Lao Yuetou. He also gave four taels of silver to Mrs. Wu, and gave a few more taels of silver to Yue Xiaoman to add makeup.
Yue Xiaoman was getting married, so he couldn't watch the ceremony at home. Fortunately, the person she found for her was an old colleague. Everyone knew her well, and he could trust his future brother-in-law's character, so he had nothing to worry about.
As a result, he only had less than ten taels of broken silver left on him and one ingot of five taels of gold that Prince An had rewarded.
Before leaving, he didn't want anyone to see him off, so he just strode out of the courtyard carrying an old baggage.
With red eyes, Yue Xiaoman took two pairs of shoes that she had made overnight and chased them out.
Yue Zhongyao took it and stuffed it into his bag. He turned around and saw Lao Yuetou standing at the gate of the courtyard with red eyes and a look of reluctance.
Mrs. Wu was also standing by. After all, it was her own son, so she wiped her tears and said a few words in the distance. The second and fourth Yue Laos also saw each other off at the door with their wives and children.
Yue Zhongyao turned around and scanned them one by one, then turned and left...
Let’s talk about Qiao Mingjin.
When Yue Zhongyao went out, they had already walked half the distance.
Except for Qiao's father and Lan, no one in the family has ever traveled far. Everything they saw along the way was new.
After passing the border of Qingchuan and then passing Yongzhou, the capital of Qingchuan, I felt that the grass, trees and flowers on both sides of the road were different from Qingchuan.
As the saying goes, the winds are different in a hundred miles, and the customs are different in ten miles.
The whole family often lifted the car curtains to watch and comment.
Although Father Qiao and Lan came all the way from Yizhou, how could their mood at that time be the same as now?
Then he also joined in the fun with everyone.
Chatting and joking with the whole family relieved some of my uneasiness.
Especially with the sound of Wan'er chirping and shouting excitedly along the way, the whole family was in a good mood.
Mingqi and Mingheng, the two younger ones, would sometimes sit on the carriage shaft and watch the scenery, regardless of the dust blowing on their faces. Sometimes the escorts would look at Mingheng looking at them eagerly, and occasionally they would
Let him run for a while on horseback.
Although it is a peaceful time now, the official road is not easy to walk. Sometimes the official road is no different from sheep intestines, and bumps along the way are inevitable.
The family includes Lan Shi, an old one, Wan'er, a young one, and Qiao's father, who is frail, so they don't dare to walk too fast.
After walking for more than ten days, we are still less than half the distance.
Ding Er and his son were a little anxious.
It had been more than half a year since their trip. Not only were they thinking about their family, but they had finally found the young master and his wife. Naturally, they hoped to bring the young master and his wife back to Yizhou for business as soon as possible.
The nights are long and there are many dreams. Who knows what will happen on this road?
Besides, the Chinese New Year is just over a month away, and we have to go back to prepare for the New Year. This year, the eldest young master and his wife are back. Naturally, the eldest young master will be the one to preside over the ancestor worship. We don't dare to miss the New Year's Eve.
Besides, it's getting colder and colder now. If we continue to delay, I wonder if this group of young and old can bear it on the road? If one or two of them get sick, the trip will be delayed again.
However, the Qiao family didn't pay much attention to the anxiety of the father and son. They continued to play, see and eat as they should.
Except for Qiao's father who was looking forward to returning home, Qiao Mingjin and others viewed this trip as a trip.
It’s a rare trip out, so it’s natural to appreciate the scenery along the way.
Mrs. Lan doesn't have much expectation of returning to her family. Her family is living a happy life now, so why rush back to live a life without peace and worry?
So when she saw Qiao Mingjin and others getting out of the car to see the famous mountains and rivers, the scenic spots and historic sites went with them.
Sometimes, I also accompany them to watch with great interest.
She also understood that Mother Qiao had worked hard in her life, and she rarely went out, so she was willing to accompany her for a walk. Sometimes she was even willing to patiently give her guidance on things like interpersonal communication.
It opened a lot of horizons for Mother Qiao, gained a lot of knowledge, and benefited a lot.
The family walked and stopped, saw many scenic spots and ate various specialty snacks along the way, and felt that the trip was worth it.
However, no matter how slow they walked, the journey would still be completed, and Yizhou City would be right in front of them.
The family couldn't help but feel anxious again. They don't know what is waiting for them. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
