Lao An's family also has a lot of land. They have four sons and three grandsons, a total of eight men, and twenty-four acres of land. Lao An offered ten acres of land when he came out. In his heart, the fourth family is a wealthy family.
If he was capable, he would be right to follow her. If food hadn't been grown in other places, he would have wanted to take full advantage of it.
But that old lady with long hair and short knowledge actually encouraged the children to come out to protest, but she didn't let him retaliate.
"Dad, if you really repay ten acres of land today, then let's split up our families!" The boss, An Zicheng, firmly disagreed and was not afraid that his father would beat anyone, so he took the lead in resisting.
Leader Lao An was helpless, and finally asked An Zihao to be called over. After hearing the whole story, An Zihao nodded, and then in front of the whole village and let everyone witness, An Zihao took away his three acres of land.
came out.
"I would also like to ask you all to testify that I have used my three acres of land to grow fruit. If the fruit grows in the future, my fifth house will be divided. I will never eat my brother and sister-in-law's food in vain! On the contrary,
If the fruit is grown, it belongs to my father and our fifth family, and has nothing to do with my brother and sister-in-law!"
This is also a disguised family separation, but who can make the head of the family stand on his side? Chief Lao An was the first to nod.
"Today, our family will sign up for six acres of land, which is the land owned by the old man, me and Lao Wu. Whether the fruit is grown well or not, it has nothing to do with the other houses. As Lao Wu said, if it fails, I will advocate
Even if I divide your families, my old man will not eat a grain of your grain!"
After saying this, the happiest person is Yang Qiuju. Their family is small and the second child works hard. It would be great if they could be separated.
An Zicheng glanced at his daughter-in-law Liu Mei. Liu Mei understood immediately and rushed home to fetch reinforcements. Old Mrs. An was still very weak and had been lying on the kang, but she couldn't calm down the situation now if she didn't come.
Stay.
"My dear, your mother is a woman, so you don't need to inform her about this kind of thing! I have the final say!"
But before Liu Mei ran two steps, she was stopped by Chief Lao An. Liu Mei was humiliated by her father-in-law in front of so many people, and her face looked a little bad, and she stood there at a loss.
In this way, Lao An's family also offered six acres of land. After that, Lao An's wife was in trouble for three days and three nights.
She also said that the family would be separated now, and she would follow the old man's family, and let Mr. Lao An follow Lao Wu. What would they do if they saw that the fruit couldn't be grown?
Liu Mei is the most calculating. She was a little scared when she heard what her mother-in-law said. Firstly, she didn't want Mrs. An to follow their family. Secondly, her brother-in-law was the only one making money in the family. If the family was divided, the family's money would be lost.
Where does it come from?
This year's land has been planted. In fact, the harvest of food is not guaranteed. If the crop fails, the whole family will still rely on my brother-in-law to keep their stomachs full.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Mrs. Lao An suppressed her temper and calmed down. She didn't have much land. She only looked at Mr. Lao An's three acres of land and the support of her sons. It would be of no use to her to have a dispute with the old man.
any benefit.
All those who should report have reported, and those who have not reported will not report again. As soon as the clan leader sent everyone away, Li Zhengan and Shunde came to the door together with Lai.
The two people were invited into the house by the clan leader. Lai still looked unhappy. As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "Where are the villagers? Why did you leave before Li Zheng came over?"
His face was so foul that Wang An immediately smelled something unusual.
"Now that everything has been said, why don't you just leave? Otherwise, can you still stay for dinner?"
Although she is usually easy to talk to and likes to be a peacemaker for others, she is not a pushover. She will not give a shit when Lai's anger is seen in her eyes.
"Farming is a big deal. If you don't go through the process, you decide what to plant. How will you deal with problems in the future? If something goes wrong and everyone has nothing to eat, will you provide food?"
Lai's attitude has changed to questioning, and he has no intention of giving face to the clan leader and his wife.
The patriarch coughed lightly, "Shunde, is this what you meant?"
An Shunde still respected the patriarch very much. Hearing his displeasure, he immediately stopped Lai's arrogance.
"Well, I also went to the town and heard about it just after I came back, so I came over to ask. If it works, I will plant it too."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lai stopped and said, "An Shunde, let me tell you, our family doesn't grow crops, and Xiaoxiao and I don't want to starve to death. I tell you to give up this idea as soon as possible!"
This woman didn't give her man face in front of outsiders, which made An Shunde disgusted. He couldn't help but think about what Qiao Lian'er would do if she encountered such a thing, and then she even didn't give Lai a good look.
"The land is mine, what right do you have to make a decision?" After saying that, he turned to look at the patriarch and said, "Chief, give me three acres of land as well. It just so happens that we haven't had time to plant the land yet!"
Their family only had three acres of land, and because he had no son and was separated from his family, Lai and his daughter An Xiaoxiao were not eligible to share the land.
He couldn't raise his head when mentioning this matter in front of outsiders. Whenever this happened, his desire to have a son became stronger and stronger.
After signing up, he didn't care about Lai's mischief and ran to his parents' house. If he wanted to marry Qiao Lian'er, there was only one way, and that was to let his mother suppress Lai and let her talk to An Lao.
The Zhuang family talks.
When he heard about his parents' house, the crazy Lai who was following him had disappeared. He knew that Lai was not willing to come to his parents' house, so he felt free to tell his mother everything.
"Okay, okay, mother, go and talk to Lao Zhuang's family right now. My son is going to have a son. It's a good thing!"
An Shunde's mother couldn't care less about whether Qiao Lian'er was a widow or not, because Lai had only given birth to one daughter for more than ten years and never laid eggs again. Her eldest son was so good but was defeated by that shrew.
Here, she felt uncomfortable.
Now my son finally thought about it, found another woman, and even got pregnant with a child. Isn't this a great thing?
"But mother, my son is afraid that Mrs. Lai will become a monster and that she will harm the child in Lian'er's belly..." An Shunde expressed his concerns.
But his mother waved her hand and said confidently, "Don't worry, son, a woman can divorce her after seven years of marriage and nothing to do with it. She has been married for more than ten years and can't even give birth to a son. This is to end your wife."
If she makes trouble, you can write a letter of divorce. What are you afraid of? Mom, go to Lao Zhuang’s house right now! The most important thing is to let Lian’er rest assured and raise the baby! Don’t delay it when the time comes. If she really goes to have an abortion, that will be
Your son! How long has my mother been looking forward to this grandson?"
It's not that An Shunde's younger brothers don't have sons, it's just that his mother feels that her eldest son's lack of a son is her biggest worry.
When An Shunde heard what her mother said, she felt relieved, nodded, and took out five taels of silver from her arms.
"Mom, although Lian'er is a widow and she is just a concubine, our etiquette must be thoughtful!"
"Don't worry, son, if she gives birth to a son, can't the wife and concubine be changed? My eldest grandson cannot be born by a concubine!"
