Chapter 373: Foundation
Yan Shunhua was silent for a long time, silently spread out a piece of rice paper in the empty place, took another brush, and wrote with the pen.
"I wrote Buddhist scriptures silently, firstly, my grandfather asked me to calm down. The second is for the uncle and grandmother. She began to believe in Buddhism after the death of her fourth son and youngest son, although she did not build a Buddhist hall at home, but she copied scriptures and went to the children's graves to worship all the year round, and was a vegetarian all year round. When I was at Fengtong Yan's house, I often accompanied her and helped to copy Buddhist scriptures. ”
She silently wrote ten copies neatly before stopping, and then sat down on a chair with Yan Shengguo to drink tea.
"Dad, the matter of separating the family, my daughter thinks it is inappropriate. After all, the eldest brother is the eldest son, but you want to divide him, but you live with your mother and younger brother, he and his sister-in-law will definitely be poked in the back.
As long as you live in the village, it is impossible to get the peace you want because of the separation. We all know the temperament of my sister-in-law, even if we agree to separate the family, we will only become more careless in the future.
Instead of embarrassing the eldest brother at that time, it is better to live like this, with you watching from the sidelines, she doesn't dare to go too far, and Brother Zheng can be more relaxed when he grows up. ”
Yan Shengguo shook his head, his tone resolute.
"Do you think Daddy wants to do this? Daddy also knows that he is the eldest son, and doing so will make him sad. It's just a momentary incomprehension and panic, and it's better than being cowering all your life and not being able to live like a human being. ”
Yan Shunhua was a little surprised, it was too much for Yan Zhaoming to comment like this, right?
Although it is inevitable that his wife is suspected of being strict, in her opinion, Yan Zhaoming can actually be regarded as a genuine good man.
Be filial to your parents, considerate to your wives, and kind to your children. He can do a good job at home and abroad, hunting is also good, and he is especially good at carpentry. Even if he doesn't farm, with just hunting and carpentry, Yan Zhaoming can mix a mouthful of food by himself. At the same time, the family is fed.
Such a man who is in good health, good-tempered, diligent and skilled, and at the same time does not prostitute or gamble, is not addicted to alcohol and violence, and is really a good son, husband and father.
Her expression of disapproval was so obvious that Yan Shengguo could easily see it.
"Don't think Daddy is too your brother. His temperament is too weak. If you look at it purely as a son, he is indeed good. But he is the eldest son, if he does not divide the family, he will be the head of our four rooms in the future. As the patriarch, he is too kind. The means are too soft, and in the end, they will definitely be held hostage by the Fang clan and do a lot of foolish things.
It's impossible to rebel or something, but making the family into a miasma is the specialty of the Fang clan, if he takes power, it will only be out of control and harm his descendants.
Rather than this, it is better to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle from the beginning and survive with a broken tail.
This house is divided. Brother Yong'er and his future wife and children will be free, at most, it is just a courtesy on the surface, but the Fang clan can't stretch out his hand. In the future, Brother Zheng can't stay at home, so he can sneak to Brother Yong'er, breathe a sigh, calm and relaxed, and then find a way to go back to deal with things.
Of course, what Dad wants most is to make your brother realize that Dad and Mom can't be his backing for the rest of their lives. A hundred years from now, he still has his days to live. If you can't get tough. At home, he can only live a life of such grievances, subject to the Fang family, and has no actual say in the affairs of his children.
Dad can check the family affairs of Xiao Nier and Brother Zheng'er, can he still live to the age when the next generation and the next life grandchildren are born and marry? He always has to make his own decisions. You can't just think about it, you don't have to think about anything, you don't have to make any decisions, and you don't have to deal with anything. ”
"Dad, everyone in our family has a long lifespan, and my grandfather is all four generations in the same house. You and your mother will live a long life.
Sister-in-law, she has a good life, even if she was not satisfied in the past, she is old and has experienced a lot of things, she should always learn a little and a half. No matter what, it is impossible to be more ignorant than when you were young.
Besides, Brother Zheng has always been a child with great ideas, and he has not been afraid of his sister-in-law since he was a child. With him by his side, no matter how soft the eldest brother is, he will not go along with his sister-in-law's wishes in everything. ”
Yan Shengguo sighed when he heard this.
"Marrying a wife is not virtuous, and it will bring disaster to three generations. It's useless to ask brother for a brother, how can he commit a crime as a son?
Even if it is reasonable, as long as the Fang clan talks about filial piety, and a hat of 'disobedience and unfilial piety' is pressed down, he will be constrained and cannot solve the trouble quickly. At that time, your brother will only be in a dilemma, with his temperament, do you think he will follow your sister-in-law a little more, or will he take care of his brother more?"
Yan Shunhua said it badly. Because of the trivial daily life in the past, Yan Zhaoming basically followed Fang Rouniang more. Unless Fang Rouniang lost her temper with Yan Shengguo and Yan Liu's family, Yan Zhaoming would show a displeased look and dissuade her.
It's just that even at that time, as long as Yan Shengguo teaches a ruthless lesson, Yan Zhaoming will still involuntarily immediately protect Fang Rouniang, afraid that his wife will be wronged, so he will often unconsciously anger Yan Shengguo.
Thinking of the scene where Yan Zhaoming knelt on the ground in fear and begged for mercy, Yan Shunhua also sighed.
"Dad, your starting point is excellent, but frankly, from my daughter's point of view, this way of dealing with it still doesn't seem very appropriate. You also said that the eldest brother has a soft temperament. If you do that, you're overkill.
You must know that when Brother Zheng got married, the eldest brother was in his thirties at that time, and as long as Brother Zheng'er's child was born, he would immediately live a life with grandchildren. At that time, he will gladly hand over the power of the head of the family to his brother and his wife.
You know the weaknesses of his character, but he doesn't necessarily know his own shortcomings. In particular, he knows his sister-in-law better than any of us. In order to recruit his brother, he can't let his sister-in-law be like when he was young.
Rather than splitting up, it is better to maintain the status quo. Just like the principle of opening up and reducing expenditure, it is very important to reduce expenditure, but open source is even more important. Now you spend a little more effort to cultivate Brother Yong'er and Brother Zheng'er well, and in the future, their uncle and nephew will be able to steadily support the four rooms, one outside the main and one inside.
This is the foundation, the foundation is solid, you and your mother can enjoy your old age in peace, and the eldest brother can also bear the knees with peace of mind. (To be continued.) )
