Chapter 571: Testimony
Xu couldn't believe that her mother's family had handed her a letter.
The second room said that they wanted to split up, so forget it, they would have a small quarrel from time to time, as long as Master Xu persuaded him to say a few words, Second Master Xu would naturally press his wife, sons, and grandchildren to shut up. But this time, even the long house said that it was going to be separated, what is this?!
Changfang is not only a branch of the family, but also in charge of decision-making, and the middle feed is also in the hands of Grandma Xu of Changfang. The second room is just a vassal, no matter how noisy it is, it will still obey the arrangement of the long room after all. Without separating the family, the long house can have the help and financial resources of the second room. After the family is divided, the long house will lose money and people. What reason do they have to break up?!
The long house is the head of the Xu family, shouldering the great responsibility of supporting the family, and has the right to order the clansmen to act, and also has the obligation to protect and take care of the clansmen. The long room and the second room have always gotten along like this. When they are about to break up, aren't they throwing away their rights and obligations?
The two members of the Xu family sent letters to the Xu family, but they did not let their children and grandchildren come forward, but sent the servants with faces. But no matter how faceless the servant is, he is also a subordinate. Xu wanted to ask them what happened, but they couldn't say it clearly, only that Grandma Xu and Second Grandma Xu had a quarrel, and afterwards Second Mrs. Xu went to find Grandma Xu to make peace, but was scolded away by Grandma Xu, and then Second Master Xu went to cry to Master Xu for his wife. Judging from their words, it seems that the responsibility is on Grandma Xu's side.
Xu's brows furrowed and wrinkled, and she only hated her niece and nephew for being disobedient and loving to make trouble, and she complained a little about her dead sister-in-law, what kind of daughter-in-law did she choose for her nephew in the first place? At that time, she obviously said that she could help match the bridge, but her sister-in-law pushed back and refused to agree. If her nephew could listen to her words and marry the powerful, the Xu family would not have suffered setbacks one after another, and even Xu Xiu and Xu Lan's family affairs would be so difficult, let alone make a scandal about the separation of the family.
Xu was angry, but she still had to be there. Such a major event is related to the future of the Xu family, and it is impossible for her not to attend. Of course, she is not a witness to the division of the family, but to prevent the Xu family from splitting! In the past few decades, she has endured all the unbearable suffering, and even did not hesitate to separate herself from her relatives, just so that the Xu family can regain its former glory and even go to a higher level. If the Xu family is divided into two and her strength is greatly reduced, what is her hard work all these years?!
However, after all, the Xu family is only a foreign daughter. From Xu Zheng's family affairs, she understood it. Although she has a transcendent status in the Xu family, if the Xu family does not want to listen to her wishes, she has nothing to say. In order to be able to have enough threat to force the Xu family to act according to her wishes, and not to really divide the family because of a quarrel, she decided to bring her son with her, and also to use the name of the Qin family's Chengenhou Mansion to deter the Xu family.
Qin Zhonghai didn't hesitate much, he agreed to his mother's request, turned his head and called his younger brother Qin Shutao as well. Xu thought that Qin Shutao was about to marry the second room of the Xu family, so he hesitated, but still did not refuse. Anyway, this time it was Grandma Xu's trouble, and it was good to let Qin Shutao come forward and add some weight to the second room of the Xu family. She must tame Grandma Xu this time!
Xu took his two sons on a trip in a rage. On the way, Qin Shutao also tactfully persuaded her: "Mother, don't be angry, there has long been a dislike between the two cousins and sisters-in-law of the Xu family, and there will always be a reason for it." If the second room of the Xu family was really unbearable, he would not have proposed to split up. The last time I tried in Rongge'er County, it was really my cousin-in-law who had done it, and I couldn't complain about the resentment of the second room. Mother can persuade once, but she can't persuade a second time. Besides, the Xu family is always living by themselves, and you don't live in the Xu family, so you may not be able to understand their feelings. ”
Xu didn't expect his youngest son to say this, and said disapprerovingly: "If your two cousins-in-law were sensible, they wouldn't have made that trouble before." Of course, your eldest cousin-in-law should not stop Brother Rong's pediatric examination, but your second cousin-in-law should also cultivate her oral morality. Both sides are full of food and support, and so many things will be born. Since they are not sensible, as an elder, I should let them understand what the real truth is! How can a good family be divided because of a quarrel between two unvirtuous women? Your grandfather left a last word that he would not be allowed to divide the family! How many years have passed? They have forgotten the teachings of their ancestors, so how can I not care?!"
The Xu family was obviously iron-hearted, and Qin Shutao had no choice but to keep silent. He turned his head and glanced at his brother Qin Zhonghai. The two of them were angry with Qin Jian, and they knew why the second room of the Xu family was going to split up, so they coincidentally chose to hide the truth from their mother.
Anyway, if the Xu family can really split up, maybe there will be some less things. Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao both decided to stand by and watch, and the latter even planned to help the Xu family's second room.
The mother and son soon came to Xu's house. In the main hall of the front yard of the Xu family, the Xu family's room and the second room each occupied a row of chairs, and a confrontation battle had already begun. In addition to the mother and son of the Qin family, the second room of the Xu family also invited a cousin of the second wife of Xu who was an official in the capital, and an aunt of the second grandmother Xu who lived in Tongzhou to be witnesses, but the Xu family's room was only better because of the larger population, and did not invite relatives and friends to help.
In fact, the Xu family's room didn't expect that the second room would reach this point, and it seemed that they were really going to split up.
When Xu saw this battle, he was immediately angry. She sat down on her head and asked Uncle Xu: "What kind of trouble are you making here? What about your father? You said you want to split the family, what did your father say? I don't believe he can agree!"
Of course, Master Xu will not agree, but Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu now feel that it is good to separate the family, so they don't take Master Xu's opinion to heart. Even if it was the patriarch of the Xu family's room, now he is just an old man who has suffered a stroke in bed, and he can't even speak well, so he can't take care of things for a long time. His past mistakes caused the reputation of the Xu family to be damaged, which greatly damaged his status and majesty in the eyes of his family. After Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu actually took control of the family, they intentionally or unintentionally set him up, and they also said that they would let the old father recuperate without having to work hard. Therefore, even if Master Xu opposed the separation, they didn't intend to listen.
When the Xu family saw that Uncle Xu and his wife were not right, they knew that the elder brother must also oppose the separation. She immediately said sharply: "In that case, what are you talking about separating the family?! Could it be that your husband and wife are still planning to disobey your father?!"
Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu were silent. Behind them, Xu Zheng, Xu Xiu, and Xu Lan were all brothers and sisters, all bowing their heads and holding their hands, silent. On such occasions, they have been taught to be afraid to interject.
At this time, Second Master Xu spoke: "Sister, don't be angry. The eldest brother just doesn't want to bear the notoriety of disobeying his father's will, but in fact, he may not want to split up in his heart. My nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law have been scornful of our husband and wife for a year, and I never saw my eldest brother teach them a lesson. Isn't this a clear attempt to force us to take the initiative to split up? I know that the family is not richer than before, and my nephews and daughters-in-law also think that our second room is dragging its feet. She is now holding the middle feed, and if there is anything inappropriate in her actions, she can't listen to the guidance of her elders. In less than a year, our husband and wife have suffered more anger than in previous years and ten years. What's the point of living like this? This family will be divided, and the nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law will be more relaxed, and our ears will be much quieter. ”
Xu Shi said angrily: "What are you talking about?!If it is the fault of the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, I will teach her a lesson for you." Have you ever wondered what will happen after the separation?!!
Grandma Xu pursed her lips.
Mrs. Xu said: "Does my aunt think we said it casually? What will happen after the separation, we have naturally thought about it a long time ago." It is true that after the separation, we are not as good as before, and it can be said that we came out of the family of a high-ranking official of the third grade. But we can also be less angry, and if our children want to study and go to school, we don't have to worry about being hindered. My family may not be as wealthy as before, but as long as life can go well, it will be much better than now!"
Second Master Xu nodded and said, "That's right." After we split up in the two rooms, we didn't break off our relatives, but we had to come and go often. Just like your Qin family, after the three heads of the family were separated, they still didn't go back and forth as usual? Even the relationship between the second room of the Qin family and your long room was better than before. I also hope that the current quarrel will end as soon as possible and the two people can get back together. ”
Grandma Xu sneered, glanced at everyone in the second room, and said to Xu: "Aunt and grandmother have heard it, and now the elders in the second room are determined to split up, and they are also bent on putting the responsibility on our long room." I don't have much to say. The second room is going to be separated, is it possible that we still ask them not to divide it? Since we have already left our hearts, it is not interesting to force them to stay. I see, my aunt and grandmother will stop persuading. The second room felt that he had climbed the high branches, his wings were stiff, and he couldn't look down on our long room. If that's the case, then divide it!"
Uncle Xu also nodded frequently: "Yes, yes, the twisted melon is not sweet." Since the second uncle and the second aunt are determined to divide, let's divide it!"
"Shut up for me!" Xu Shi was so angry that her hands were trembling, she looked at this eldest nephew, and her face hated iron and steel, "Your daughter-in-law caused such a disaster, you can't restrain your daughter-in-law and forget it, how can you help her break up the family?!
Uncle Xu shrunk his neck. Grandma Xu was uncomfortable listening to Xu's words, thinking that she still had a place to rely on the Qin family, so she didn't have a seizure on the spot, but the tone of her voice was also hard-helping: "What is Grandma scolding him for? Now it's clear that the second room is going to be separated, so why does my aunt have to put the blame on me? Even if you scold me to death, the second room will still be divided. What's the use of that? It's better to divide it neatly! We've already made up our minds in both rooms, so you just have to be a witness. "What are you talking about?!
The last sentence, Grandma Xu didn't say it, but her expression showed it clearly. Xu Shi suddenly fell back in anger.
Mrs. Xu's cousin and Grandma Xu's aunt both spoke at this time: "Since both sides said that they wanted to divide the family, let's divide it." We are here to be witnesses, and we are done early. "It's almost not clear that the Xu family is nosy.
Xu's family's room said that they wanted to divide it, and the second room of Xu's family also said that they wanted to divide it, and the witnesses were all persuading them to divide it quickly, and even Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao were also persuading Xu's family: "Mother doesn't need to say much, just be a witness." ”
Xu Shi only felt a mouthful of blood gushing into his heart, stuffed in his chest, unable to spit it out, unable to swallow, could only hold there, uncomfortable and wanted to die.
