Mr. Hou didn't dare to offend the public, not to mention what Liu Houhou said. These hired workers were all good people, so they couldn't do anything sneaky. If they ruined their reputation, they would lose a lot for a small amount of money.
Who else could it be? She suddenly thought of the three little brats who had been beaten to the cold palace, and cursed: "The sun is almost setting, why don't you go to work? What are you doing here?"
"My belly is flat, how can I have the strength to carry on?" Everyone said lazily and nonchalantly.
"You're a mud-footed man who deserves to be poor for the rest of his life!" Hou cursed and said, "Go eat and drink, go work, or you won't have lunch!"
"I've searched all over the country, and there's no one who mistreats me more than Mrs. Chen!" Everyone complained and dispersed: "After this period, let's see who will do the work for your family!"
"Those who are waiting to work for my family are lined up from Shiwan Village to Xialipo!" Mrs. Hou said unkindly as she walked toward the shack in the northwest corner menacingly.
Chen Sanlang was woken up by Mrs. Hou early, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he knew that she had come to search. He whispered to his two younger brothers to keep their mouths shut.
As soon as Korokuro put on his clothes, Mrs. Hou opened the door and came in aggressively, and cursed: "Tell me, did you little beasts steal my chicken?"
"Who are you scolding, you little beast?" Chen Sanlang suppressed his anger and bent down to put on Xiao Liulang's shoes.
"You little beast is scolding you!" After Mrs. Hou said this, she realized that she had suffered a hidden loss. Her shoe-shaped face, which was heavily smeared with makeup, turned into a crimson-red shrimp face: "How dare you take advantage of me!" She had a frame that was taller than that of a man, and when she pounced on him with her teeth and claws spread out, Korokuro was immediately frightened to tears.
"Why did the eldest lady hit someone?" Chen Sanlang hugged Xiaoliu Lang and passed her, retreated to the door and said, "How did my nephew offend you?"
Hou suffered a secret loss and was speechless, so he had no choice but to ask the question: "Tell me, where did you hide my chicken?"
"What kind of chicken?" Chen Sanlang said with a confused look on his face: "Why did the eldest lady's chicken come to us?"
"It's you who stole it! Look, I've found it. I won't send you, the little thief, to justice!" Ms. Hou searched inside and outside, but couldn't find a chicken feather? But she saw that there was still a chicken feather on the stove behind the room. The embers, something had been cooked in the pot, seemed to have caught the ironclad evidence and said: "Tell me, did you cook my chicken?"
"Look at the pot, is there any oil star at all?" Chen Sanlang said coldly.
What he said reminded Ms. Hou that the pot was built on the stove. If you want to take it off, you have to dismantle the stove. So if the chicken has been cooked, you will definitely find traces of oil. But Mr. Hou's eyes widened. I searched all over the pot, but couldn't find a drop of oil. I couldn't help but wonder: "Then why are you making a fire?"
"I was seriously ill yesterday and had to drink hot water. The eldest lady didn't give me food, so I had to cook for my younger brother." Chen Sanlang said coldly: "I know the eldest lady thinks that our father and son are eating free rice and spending a lot of money. I have been there for a long time. He wanted to separate the family, so he didn't want to see my father and son at all. He also took advantage of my father's study abroad trip to abuse my three brothers in every possible way." After a pause, he said in a more serious tone: "Why do you have to be like this? This year is the competition. My father may be in high school in the next year, I don’t know how you will meet each other then!”
The reason why he used the topic to play on was, first of all, to divert Hou's attention to prevent the two children from showing their flaws. At the same time, he also taught her to restrain herself...
Mr. Hou was just bullying them because they were young and ignorant, and that's why he was so unscrupulous. Now that he heard what he said so clearly, he couldn't help being shocked, and thought to himself: 'Why are you so bold to say such a thing! Can this kid see through me?!
'
Chen Sanlang was right about what she was thinking. For many years, because the men in her family were not good at studying, her parents-in-law had pinned their hopes on her brother-in-law. Naturally, they naturally favored her brother-in-law's family in words and deeds. Chen, who was narrow-minded, had always
Feeling dissatisfied.
But at that time, her parents-in-law were in the court, and she was also worried that her brother-in-law would really be able to become an official, and he would have to rely on many people, so she had to pretend to be nice. But this kind of distortion made her heart accumulate day by day, and she was filled with resentment.
After all, he regards his uncle's family as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
What makes her gloat is that her brother-in-law has wasted more than ten years, let alone the high school Jinshi, and has not even passed the examination... This makes her certain that her brother-in-law, her husband, the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, have no destiny to be officials.
.As a result, she could no longer tolerate her brother-in-law's family of five to have nothing to do, not to mention having to pay for their studies!
Then the only choice was to separate the family! She had long been convinced of this idea, and the reason why she delayed the separation until her mother-in-law passed away for more than two years was not because she was unwilling, but because she did not dare. What she was afraid of was the ruthlessness of the law!
In the Song Dynasty, family separation was not just a family matter.
This dynasty repeatedly gave instructions to large families who have lived together for generations, advocating brotherly harmony without separation. Of course, very few people can truly achieve this, but "Song Xingtong" still clearly stipulates: "Grandparents, parents are alive, but descendants have different birthplaces."
Those with wealth will live for three years. Those with parents who have lost their parents, have children, and those with different registrations will live for one year. "Other registrations" means separate household registrations. "Special wealth" refers to the analysis of family property.
This means that when grandparents and parents are alive, whoever dares to separate the family will be sentenced to three years. Even if the parents pass away, they must wait until the mourning period is over before they can separate the family, otherwise they will be sentenced to one year... This is to prevent brothers from ignoring their parents once their parents pass away.
Funerals, scandals involving patronage and family property occurred.
The laws of the Song Dynasty are among the best in history, both in terms of formulation and execution, and they are almost a thorough study of human nature. But the laws are dead and people are alive. It is impossible to expect dead laws to protect everyone.
Although the Hou family has not dared to separate the family, she can use her identity as the eldest sister-in-law to bully her brother-in-law's family, which can ease the blockade in her heart for many years.
But before, at best, she just didn't look good to her brother-in-law, and didn't give her nephew new clothes or good food to eat. It was far from what she is now, forcing three children to die... The Chen family is also considered a big family, so this is a good thing for her.
My nephew has an ugly face and an ugly reputation.
The reason why Mrs. Hou suddenly became so vicious is because in March of this year, that is, this month, the Chen family was imprisoned and the legal division of property was coming. She was determined to get most of the family property, so she asked her younger brother in advance
, first go to the county government office to take care of it.
Unexpectedly, her brother came back and said that the government clerk had given permission. This kind of thing was very difficult because the laws of the Song Dynasty opposed the division of family property and considered it an act that violated public order and good customs. Therefore, the person who proposed the division of family first would receive less property.
.Furthermore, because grandchildren also have the right to inherit the property of their grandparents, when settling the estate, the government will refer to the number of households in the two families... There are no surviving girls in the two families, and they are all male. In other words, except for her daughter-in-law, everyone
Everyone has the right to inherit... The number of people with the right to inherit is three to five, and her family is still at a disadvantage.
Moreover, the special official appointment system of this dynasty makes it impossible for the county magistrate to ruin his official reputation for a small profit. Therefore, if it is decided by the government, their family will definitely suffer.
Hou was completely dumbfounded. Could he be shooting himself in the foot?
Her younger brother told her that now either Chen Laoer would propose to separate the family first, or the two parties could reach an agreement privately, and then the government would divide the property... As long as it was generally fair and reasonable, the county magistrate would turn a blind eye.
This became Hou's life-saving straw. She was determined to force her brother to propose a separation of the family first, so she naturally had to intensify her efforts. At that time, Chen Laoer was out studying, so she began to abuse his three children in every possible way... just to make Chen Laoer come back.
I realized that I could either stay at home and look after my children forever, or separate the family immediately.
If one or two children died accidentally, that would play into her plan. The mortality rate of children in this era is surprisingly high. Even if a wealthy family gives birth to ten children, it would be a miracle if they can raise half of them. For example, if she gave birth to seven,
Only two survived, so in her opinion, the loss of a handful of underage children was nothing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Her thoughts were suddenly exposed by a child, and Mrs. Hou couldn't help but panic. She kept cursing something like "tear your mouth apart", but she began to move away from her feet, not wanting to face those penetrating eyes again.
Chen Sanlang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression did not change at all.
But how could Ms. Hou run away in such a dejected manner? She had a dark face and her eyes were rolling around, hoping to find an opportunity to suppress this kid's arrogance.
When her fierce eyes fell on Korokuro, she suddenly noticed that the kid turned sideways, and she couldn't help but yelled: "What are you hiding!" She then grabbed Korokuro's right hand with her hands.
"What are you doing!" Chen Sanlang quickly blocked his younger brother, but he was only ten years old, so how could he have the strength of his previous life? He staggered after being pushed by this fierce woman. Although he stood up quickly, this time
In an instant, Xiao Liulang was caught by Hou's sleeve.
"Let him go!" Chen Sanlang hugged the woman's arm hard and shouted to Koliu Lang: "Run!"
But such a small child was completely frightened. Kurigoro reacted, hugged his brother and pulled it out. Korokuro's clothes were already in tatters, and with this pull, his sleeves immediately tore open, and the same thing happened.
Things fell down.
When he saw the thing clearly, even Chen Sanlang was stunned. It turned out to be a burnt yellow chicken leg...
"Okay!" Mrs. Hou's arrogance suddenly rose. She shook Chen Sanlang away suddenly, trimmed her loose hair, and said excitedly as if the big rooster was possessed by her: "I saw it right, it's just a nest.
Thief boy!"
"You fart!" This voice was not from Chen Sanlang and Heigoro, but from Korokuro whose face was flushed. He was so anxious that he stuttered: "I, my brother is not a thief!"
"How dare you talk back!" A shrew like Hou, who was very stubborn, raised her hand and slapped Korokuro, causing him to fall to the ground and bleed from his mouth and nose.
Ms. Hou wanted to show off her lustful power, but she heard an angry roar: "Fuck you, you bastard mother!"
"You..." Before she even uttered the word 'you', it turned into a scream of 'ouch', and she was hit hard in the ribs by Chen Sanlang who was in a state of madness.
Hou was caught off guard and fell to pieces. Chen Sanlang once again overestimated his own strength, failed to stabilize his body, and fell to the ground.
But at this time, Heigoro let out a low roar, rushed forward, sat on Hou's stomach, and pounded down his fists like raindrops.
I am determined not to share this book with anyone, so you won’t see long paragraphs of explanatory text, and there is no argumentative essay, but it doesn’t mean that I didn’t do research carefully. Although I can’t do everything in line with the times, at least I have tried my best.
What you can do is definitely not worse than the authenticity of Guanju Yipin.
