In the fourth room, after Mrs. Zhang coaxed her two children to sleep, she tossed and turned for a while without falling asleep.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Li Laizhi asked.
"Dad, do you think we can get a share of the family this time?"
"At least Third Brother's room should be allocated, right? What, you want to be allocated too?"
"Well, you know that my mother has always disliked me because my mother-in-law came from a poor family without a dowry. My two sisters-in-law don't like me either. Now even my third sister-in-law, who is the best at heart, has been separated. I really don't feel at ease.
"
"Hey, even if you don't tell me, I know that Mom's temper has wronged you. But we can't argue about the final decision of Mom and Dad. I guess we can't tell the difference with Mom's temper.
I haven’t got a wife yet! You know I’m useless. I can only use a lot of strength. I don’t want to get out. That’s how it will be for the rest of my life. But I
I don’t want my children to be like this. The elders in the clan say that Lao Wu is the Wenqu star who descended to earth, and he will definitely have great fortunes in the future. I just thought that if Lao Wu is really successful in the future, and our child is his nephew, how old will he be?
Being able to help is better than digging for food in the soil, don't you think?" Li Laizhi usually kept silent, but this was the first time that Mr. Zhang heard this.
"Yes, hey, for the sake of the children, it doesn't matter what happens to us!" Mrs. Zhang looked at the two children sleeping side by side lovingly, her heart warmed, and she felt that everything was worth it for them.
"Forget it, these are two things. No matter what, we are all brothers. Lao Wu will definitely be able to help. Go to sleep, go to sleep, don't think too much!" Li Laizhi said, hugging Mrs. Zhang, sleeping hazily.
At that time, Mrs. Zhang only heard Li Laizhi grunting: "My mother's heart is too biased, I'm afraid my third brother will be wronged!"
Mrs. Zhang turned over and fell asleep. What can she do? In this home, her room is transparent, so talking is useless!
It was late at night, and several children in the third room fell asleep after having a heated discussion about what to do in the future. Ms. Liu carefully nestled next to Li Sanzhi and asked: "Brother Third, I didn't tell you about selling ginseng. You are not angry."
Come on! I'm just worried,,,"
Li Sanzhi covered Mrs. Liu's mouth and said: "Needless to say, I understand. If you had told me about the ginseng, I would have already given the ginseng to my parents, so I would really have to worry.
How will I live in the future? In fact, I was so angry that I wanted to separate our families, but I didn’t know what to do with it. I didn’t want to see you suffer, but I’m like this, and I’m worried that you’ll go hungry if you follow me. Huiniang, you
Do you regret marrying me? You could have married someone better. You didn’t have to take care of housework all day long, dig in the soil for food, and suffer the anger of your mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Hey, after all, I am useless!
"
"Third brother, you are too worried. Which family's daughter-in-law didn't come here like this? People say that it takes ten years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law! As long as third brother treats me sincerely, I will not regret it. Third brother, don't be discouraged. Your feet
At most, walking is inconvenient, but don’t you still have hands? You are good at woodwork, but you are afraid of not having enough to eat. Besides, there is your wife and me. As long as we work hard, we will have no problem feeding our children!"
The two talked sweetly, and they couldn't sleep for long before the rooster crowed.
In the morning after the rain, the air is particularly refreshing, and there seems to be a unique smell of earth in the air. The sky is also particularly blue, and even the grass and trees look particularly lively.
Erlang and the others went to the master early in the morning to say hello and ask for leave. Today, the family was divided, and they were really worried. They were afraid that their brothers and sisters would be bullied again when they were away. Old man Li sent his eldest son away early in the morning.
Li Zheng and the elders of the clan were invited to help preside over the division of the family, and the second son was also ordered to go to the town to collect wine and cut meat. According to the rules, after the division of the family, he had to have a good meal.
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Feng were completely quiet today. They did what Feng asked them to do and were polite to Mrs. Zhang, which made Mrs. Zhang feel uncomfortable.
At about noon, Li Zheng and the elders of the Li clan came over, including the second grand uncle Li, a scholar from the Li clan, Yue Zhen and others who wanted to call the fourth uncle.
"Excuse me, elders!" Old Man Li said after greeting them one by one.
"A big tree has branches. It's normal for children to separate families when they grow up. You don't have to be sad. Even if the family is separated, they are still brothers and sisters! Today we are just here to testify. What is the charter of this family separation? Little
Sixth Son (Old Man Li is the sixth in his generation), tell me!" Among the group of people, Grandpa Li was the oldest, so he spoke first.
"Today, the main thing is that my three sons and one room are voluntarily divided. I have discussed it with their brothers. All the things belonging to the father-in-law in the family are on the surface, mainly some fields. Since the fifth child has not yet married, the eldest and the fifth brother
I still have to rush for the exam, so I gave Lao San two acres of paddy field, three acres of dry land, and five acres of wasteland. The old house on the west side of the village was given to the third house. In addition, I gave him a year's rations, some farm tools, and a rooster.
Four hens, and as for the pigs, the third brother will come again during the Chinese New Year and divide the 20 kilograms to go back to celebrate the New Year. I know that I am biased in dividing the family like this. I hope the third child will not blame me as the father, and there will be no filial piety in the future.
I have made a request. If you, the third child, are doing well, just give me whatever you want. If you are not doing well," Old Man Li said, his voice was a little choked. For a moment, he was a little bit surprised by the elders of the clan who were partial to Old Man Li.
On the contrary, they understood his difficulties. After all, it is not easy for a family to provide for one scholar, let alone two. Old Man Li's family is not rich at all, so it is strange that he acted like this.
"Dad, please don't do this, but it will hurt the child. I have said before that the main reason for dividing the family is not to drag down my parents and brothers. I look like this now, hey! I shamelessly accepted the house and rations, and other things
Forget it, I also know the father's difficulties. He has fulfilled his responsibility in raising his son to such an old age. The other things should be treated as filial piety and pension money for the two elders. If the son is lucky enough to live a good life in the future, the son should be filial to his father.
Mom, there are no shortage of gifts during festivals. If the child has a hard time, please forgive the child for being unfilial!" After Li Sanzhi said this, he motioned to Mrs. Liu to help him kneel down in front of Old Man Li and his wife.
"Okay, okay, okay. As expected, the father is kind and the son is filial. Xiao San is smart and courageous. Since you two have no objections, I will write the contract!" The fourth uncle said with a smile while stroking his gray beard.
Dazhi quickly handed over the pen and ink he had prepared.
"Good boy, get up quickly. You have been wronged in this matter. But a good man will not live in a separate family, and a good woman will not wear her wedding clothes. Live a good life in the future and strive to make your life prosperous. If you have any problems, just come to me.
Your second grandpa!" Li's second grandpa patted Li Youzhi on the shoulder and said.
After the deed was written in triplicate, Old Man Li, Li Sanzhi and Li Zheng signed it respectively. Then Old Man Li and Li Sanzhi each got a copy of the deed, and Li Zheng filed one copy, and the division of the family was complete. At this time
, several daughters-in-law of the Li family also happened to prepare the meal, and everyone went home after eating.
The old house has been uninhabited for a long time. Although it will be maintained regularly, it also needs to be cleaned properly. After Mrs. Liu took care of the house every day, she would rush over to clean it. Aunt Li Gen felt so sorry that she even left her household chores to help out.
, After a few days of this, the old house was tidied up, and the Yuezhen brothers and sisters also cleaned out their own things in the past few days.
"Mom, are we going to move to a new home tomorrow?" Jiulang asked, lying next to Liu.
"Yes, are you happy about Jiulang?" Ms. Liu smiled and nodded at Jiulang's nose. Although she was tired these past few days, she was very happy in her heart. She thought that she would be the master of the family in the future and live a single life without those annoying things.
The bad things that had happened to her made Ms. Liu feel energetic in her heart.
"I'm happy, so that sixth brother can't take away my toys. Seventh brother also said that the stepmother will make delicious food for us,,,hehehe!" Jiulang clapped his little hands and counted the happy things after the separation.
, Yuezhen and the others also laughed heartily.
"I just have a few greedy cats!" Liu joked with a smile.
"Mom, I'm not a greedy little cat, I just like to eat a little bit, it doesn't count!" Jiulang blushed and went straight into Liu's arms, looking like if you don't agree, I won't be able to bear it.
.
"Haha, no, no, since our Kuro is not a greedy little cat who loves to eat, then I will leave the delicious food to your seventh brother from now on!"
"Mother,,," Jiulang pursed his lips in grievance, looking like he was about to cry.
"Ouch, this is so ridiculous to me. I was just teasing you!" Yue Zhen said with a smile as she scratched Jiulang's face.
"Sister,,," Jiulang looked at Yuezhen pitifully, with an expression that said I felt aggrieved because you didn't speak for me.
"Okay, okay, even if mother doesn't leave delicious food to us, Jiulang, sister will keep it for Jiulang, okay?"
"Humph, my sister is the best to me!" Jiulang grinned immediately, hugging Yuezhen's arm and shouted.
"Okay, okay, I won't be able to get up if I keep making trouble tomorrow. I have to be busy tomorrow!" Ms. Liu drove people away, and Yuezhen and her siblings went to bed separately.
Early the next morning, at dawn, Mrs. Liu got up. Erlang and the others helped move the packages that had been packed to the clean oxcart. Then they supported Li Sanzhi and held Sanxiao and the whole family.
I went to the door of Mr. Li and his wife's house and knelt down.
"Mom and Dad, my son is gone and I will come to see you when I have time. Please take care of yourself!"
"Go ahead and pay more attention to yourself in the future! If anything happens, just come back and say something." Old Man Li opened the door and walked out to help Li Sanzhi up.
"Ms. Liu, please take more care of your men and children from now on. I won't say much else, just go and get busy!" said Feng.
I don't know why, Mrs. Feng just feels sad. Yesterday, she was still rejoicing that she finally got rid of the third bedroom that was an eyesore, and it was no trouble at all. She only lost a broken house. But now she sees her family being helped.
She walked with her son who was lame on one leg, thinking about his bloodless and thin face, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart. Feng shook her head, walked quickly to the door of the big room, and looked at the person who was warming the room.
The face of the eldest son of the book writer suddenly felt better. o 11’s reward, your support is the motivation for me to keep writing! Dear friends, throw your votes at me, hehe.
