Xiao Ye really has no intention of paying back the money.
But she was also really strapped for money. When Liu Laosan was here before, the two of them were quite diligent and liked to take advantage of others. They usually spent very little money, and Liu Laosan also liked to cheat, so at that time, the couple saved a lot of money.
Got a lot of money.
However, Xiaoye is very tight-lipped. She wants to send her children to school, but she doesn’t want to pay for it out of her own pocket, so she wants to get married. But if she gets married, there are not many people in the whole town who can send her children to school.
Chen Changfu is the closest person she can touch.
It's a pity that so many things happened later. Because of the interference of Fourth Uncle Chen's family, she had spent more than a year in vain. She was really angry with Tian Guihua's various evil tricks, so she spent money to find Taohong to take revenge on her.
The old oiran was also an oiran, and it was not cheap to hire her. Xiaoye spent a full one tael of silver, which was already most of her savings. In addition, buying medicine for Tian Guihua a few days ago basically cost her all her money.
.Originally she wasn’t in a hurry because she had her mother’s family.
Although the two brothers from her mother's family didn't want to pay attention to her, they couldn't get rid of her face. In addition, her parents also helped... She and Liu Laosan were able to save two taels of silver before, and the parents of the Ye family played a huge role.
Because their daily expenses basically come from the Ye family.
But it doesn't work anymore. Yesterday, when she went back to her parents' house and wanted to repeat her old trick of asking her brother for money, the second sister-in-law got angry and threatened that if she dared to give him money, she would go back to her parents' house.
The sister-in-law did the same, and she did it even better. All the baggage was packed. When the two brothers saw it, they immediately became anxious.
They are also very tired of their sister, but they just can't refuse. Seeing that their daughter-in-law is leaving, how can they still agree to it?
Directly tell the parents who are forcing them to take money: We have our own family and will not help her anymore! If you two elders have it, you can help her in any way, but don't think about us making another contribution! Also, the elders are like this
He loves his daughter and will rely on her for his retirement in the future. Their brothers are just relaxed.
The two brothers have the same idea and have a decisive attitude.
The two elders of the Ye family, both of whom are nearly seventy, say that people rarely grow old until they reach their seventies, and those who can live to be seventy are old. Even though they are still in good health, these people are most afraid of getting sick. Not far away.
Let’s talk about Fourth Uncle Chen. He was so healthy before, but he got sick just when he got sick?
Therefore, the old couple of the Ye family kept their mouths shut.
Seeing that this trick was effective, the two brothers, not to mention the sisters-in-law and sisters, felt at ease and immediately kicked Xiao Ye out of the house.
Over the years, Xiaoye has offended a large number of people because of her tendency to take advantage of others. If you want to borrow money, there is no way!
In fact, although Xiaoye didn't get along much with the second sister-in-law who moved back, she also knew that this second sister-in-law was hard-hearted and it was basically impossible to borrow money from her. But wasn't she desperate?
Besides, what if she is willing to borrow it for the sake of the child?
No matter how she begged, Chu Yunli could only say one word: I won’t borrow it!
Immediately afterwards came the news that Fourth Uncle Chen was dead.
Everyone was sighing, and privately said that they were angry to death from their children and grandchildren.
Although everyone did not go to the Chen family, they saw the Chen family brothers coming in and out all day long, and they did not see them buying medicine. With this look, who would believe that they are filial?
The old man died, and the brothers planned to raise money to bury their father. They didn't have any, so they had to go out and borrow it. They didn't owe much foreign debt now, but again, the brothers were arguing about breaking up the family. If they lend the money now, they would borrow it later.
Who pays it back?
Therefore, the brothers borrowed money around and only got a few copper coins. In desperation, they had no choice but to bury the person hastily.
Fourth Uncle Chen was very shrewd during his lifetime, and he could say a few words about anything that happened in the village. He didn't expect that he would be so miserable in his later years, without even a better coffin.
Among them, Chen Changfu said the most sarcastic words and was the most unpleasant.
While still in the mourning hall, he said that it was useless to raise too many sons, and that dragons gave birth to dragons, phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes, and mice gave birth to burrows. I was glad that I had sent Chen Chuanyuan back early. He was so angry that the brothers almost fought with him at that time.
stand up.
After the funeral was completed noisily, the brothers began to separate.
When Chu Yunli sent her child off in the morning, she saw that the Chen family brothers were looking for someone to testify. She had gone to the county town to get the title deed for the new wasteland and brought the child back, but the brothers hadn't finished it yet.
Today's Chen family is actually very easy to divide. The family has no money, so they divide the land on the mountain into five parts. They take out grain, pots and pans, and various farm tools. Whoever borrowed the debt before will repay it.
, if you find someone to report it to the official, Boss Chen will return it, and it will basically be divided.
In fact, they were divided like this. Boss Chen was dissatisfied, but no one paid him any attention.
What is really unclear is Ye's fate.
The current default rule is that the eldest son should share more of the family wealth and provide for his parents until they die, while the remaining brothers should provide some money and food to support them. Many families in several villages around this town do this.
The Chen family is different. Boss Chen did take most of the family wealth, which is much more than he deserves as the eldest son. At this time, it is definitely his responsibility to support his parents. But the problem is... Mrs. Ye is not willing
Live life with Boss Chen.
The reasons are all ready-made, and she plausibly said: "The old man is so angry with his father that I'm afraid he will be so angry with him one day!"
Ye's refusal to support her eldest son in old age actually gave her a lot of thought. Firstly, as she said, Mr. Chen was so arrogant that he could be called a wolf-hearted, stupid and vicious man. Secondly, Mr. Chen got three taels of silver, and a few of them were
All the brothers have said that the share given to them should be regarded as supporting their mother. In other words, if Ye lives with her eldest son, her next sons will not support her. And she still has to help the eldest son earn money and pay off debts.
.She is already old, how can she still bear it?
Thirdly, she has been accustomed to handling her daughter-in-law for many years. If the family is divided, Mr. Chen's daughter-in-law Tian Guihua is still in prison. It is basically impossible for him to marry again. That is,
She said that besides working, she also had to cook, wash and serve her son. That doesn’t make sense!
After thinking about it, I still felt that it would be best to follow the sons below.
Mr. Chen responded quickly: "Mom, eldest brother has taken so much money, and I will provide it to you when you are old. If you follow us, what will happen to the money?"
Ye said without thinking: "The money was saved by the whole family. Even if he spends it, it doesn't belong to him alone. Divide it as it deserves. Just treat it as if he borrowed it from you, and you can pay it back in the future."
.”
Brothers: "..."
Waiting for Boss Chen to pay back the money will have to wait until the end of the year of the monkey. Can they wait until they are alive?
Mr. Chen originally thought that if he paid off his debt by supporting his mother, he could still support him. His mother was in good health and could still help with some work. When he heard this, he immediately became anxious: "The eldest son takes care of himself in old age. This is the case in every family.
The rules. Mom, do you want others to poke my spine?"
Ye was determined: "The money will be divided equally. I don't want the money or the land. From now on, I will live in each family in turn. Whether it is a month or a year, you can discuss it yourself."
The brothers looked at each other, and then they all said in unison: "No!"
Over the years, my parents have been partial to the big house, even to the big house, and now they are here to support them in their old age. Do you think they are being taken advantage of?
Ye's attitude was decisive: "If you don't agree, I will go to the village chief and the village elders to make the decision for me."
When a person gets old, he cannot shirk his sons. If the elders of the village come, it is also their brothers' fault.
"Then you go find it." The speaker was the third daughter-in-law of the Chen family. She looked angry, as if she had been holding it in for a long time and suddenly burst out: "I just happened to file a complaint with the village chief and elders!"
Ye's heart skipped a beat: "What's the complaint?"
The third daughter-in-law slowly looked at everyone in the room: "Dad is gone, and I have had nightmares every day these days. I dreamed that dad asked me, why didn't I avenge him? Why should I let the murderer continue to be free?"
murderer?
The brothers looked at each other, and Chen Laosan looked surprised: "Who is the murderer? Why didn't you tell me?"
The third daughter-in-law burst into tears: "I went to deliver soup to dad that day. As you know, dad couldn't get out of bed, so sometimes mom would help with the scrubbing. It was too embarrassing to ask every time we went in. We all stood at the door.
Listen outside, and if you don’t notice any scrubbing, knock on the door and go in. But that day, I walked to the door and was about to listen, but I didn’t hear the sound of water. Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard my mother saying..."
She repeated exactly what Ye said when old man Chen left that day, and finally said: "My mother said she remarried, and my father died."
None of the brothers looked very good.
In fact, after their father died, they regretted not treating their father before and felt guilty. They were much more patient with Mr. Ye. They had just thought that if their mother insisted on taking turns living in the house, they would discuss it just now... never expected
, my father’s death was actually related to my mother.
Because of the funeral, Mrs. Ye had not slept for many days, and she was probably still afraid, so she looked particularly haggard. When she heard the words of the third daughter-in-law, her face suddenly turned pale: "I didn't, don't believe the nonsense of the third family, she is talking nonsense.
"
Ye Ming kept defending herself, but her face...the five brothers no longer had any doubts. In an instant, they turned their guilt for not saving their father into anger and rushed at Ye Ming.
Chen Laoer said plausibly: "I went to Liu's house that day to borrow money to treat dad. When I came back, I heard that dad was gone. Mom, you and dad have supported each other all your lives, how can you be so cruel?"
Chen Laosan also accused: "You killed me, how could you sleep?"
Chen Laosi also said: "Mom, dad is just sick. It's only been a few days and you can't bear it. Are you still husband and wife?"
…
Listening to the accusations from his sons, Mr. Ye turned pale.
Chen Laowu sighed: "I am the youngest, and it is not my turn to support my mother. Besides, she did this... Anyway, I will not support a murderer who killed my father."
The others were relieved and agreed one after another.
What the third daughter-in-law said allowed them to successfully push away all the guilt they felt towards their father, and also gave them a reason not to support their mother again.
Mrs. Ye's face was ashen, looking at the room full of sons and daughters-in-law, she felt as if her heart was soaked in ice water, unable to find any warmth.
She has done a lot of bad things in her life and has sorry for many people. However, she has never had bad thoughts towards these children. All the benefits she has gained, all her patience and kindness have been used on them.
