The more Zhang Shiaxe listened to his daughter-in-law scolding his family, the more resentful he became, and the stronger his thoughts of separating the family and asking for money became stronger.

He couldn't have imagined that the relatives who greeted him with smiling faces in front of him turned out to be so ruthless and unrighteous to treat his wife and children behind his back. Good! Since you can ignore me and treat my wife and children as a soldier outside for the sake of my family, and do this first year of junior high school, then don't blame me for coming with you for fifteen.

He slapped the table, stood up, and said to his daughter-in-law with a stiff face: "Don't wait for my son to come back, I'll go back and deal with them clearly." ”

It is said that 'it is unreasonable for Xiucai to meet soldiers', not to mention that the Zhang family does not have Xiucai yet, and Zhang Shiaxe is still an old oilman who has been a soldier for ten years.

When he returned home, his parents, sisters-in-law, and brothers asked him, but he didn't answer anything, didn't say a word, didn't do anything, and focused on a few nephews and nephews. Finally, after eating and before dinner, he saw the eldest grandson and the second grandson of the eldest brother's family eating a roasted sweet potato in their hands. The two children were so frightened that they cried loudly, and the mother of the two children, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, looked at the second uncle inexplicably.

"Second uncle! What do you do here? ”

"Don't do anything! These two children steal sweet potatoes to eat, according to the Zhang family's family rules, they should burn their hands! I'm enforcing the house rules right now. As he spoke, he pushed the child's hand into the fire. The child howled loudly in pain, and their mother was also frightened, ran to the pot hole, and screamed and called her husband and mother-in-law to help while pulling the second uncle.

Zhang Shiaxe is just looking for trouble because of this. Seeing that the three of them screamed in fright, they beckoned everyone else in the family to come over, so they let go. Stand up as if nothing happened. Looking at the panicked sister-in-law who ran over and was in shock, she smiled coldly: "Sister-in-law! Is our house a good rule? He turned his gaze back to his father and mother and asked, "What do you think of this house?" ”

At this time, if they still think that the second child doesn't know about his son's hand being burned by his sister-in-law, then they will be stupid. But they didn't dare to say anything, and after so many years, although the second child was not very at home. But I also know that he is not easy to mess with.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Zhang Shiaxe just looked at him blankly, and he was impatient to entangle with them. Said directly: "Dad." At the beginning, my son was only four or five years old, and he learned from his brothers, and when he burned a sweet potato, he asked his sister-in-law to burn his hand and cripple it. You have not yet healed. Said he was stealing sweet potatoes. You should be taught a lesson. I thought that this should be our Zhang family's family rules, it's okay if you block it today, one day I will enforce this rule for them, and you can't stop it. My son wasn't the only one who had to go through the rules, and they didn't need to. ”

His sister-in-law and eldest nephew looked at him with horror on their faces, and the sweat on their heads dripped down their chins after a while. His father and mother also looked at him with solemn faces, wanting to say something but feeling that it was too late to say anything now. The only way to do that is to not let him really enforce that bullshit house rule.

"Dick! Say what you want, don't make a fool of yourself. His eldest brother finally couldn't help but open his mouth to ask first. He could not let his grandson suffer that sin under any circumstances.

Only then did the old man of the Zhang family understand that the second child was looking for something! He also asked, "Just say what you want to do!" Your son burned his hand, and we only found out about it after the fact. Otherwise, I wouldn't really let your sister-in-law do this. After all, that's my grandson too! ”

Zhang Shiaxe saw that his father didn't hide it at this time, but he said it beautifully enough, and he hated it even more. So when it comes to conditions, it is also very ruthless: "That's good! Since you admit it, then I don't have to be polite. I was a soldier for 10 years, and I gave my wife and children to you to raise on my behalf. If you raise it well, let's write it off. But you didn't feed me well, but made one of my sons crippled, so let's settle the score.

I have been out for ten years, and with a monthly salary of 500 yuan, it is 6 taels a year. Except for the first three years when your wife and children were still at home, you shall pay me forty-two taels of silver for seven years. In addition, there are twenty taels of silver that I brought back, and the wages for my work after I return, which add up to almost twenty taels. Eighty-two taels of silver were to be paid.

And my son was originally an official, but he caused you to be harmed, and now he can't even take care of his own life, and you have to pay for this. If he cannot work to support himself, you will have to provide for him until he is old, and you will have to provide for him until he is eighty years old, at the lowest rate, three hundred taels of silver. And I, the life of an old man, should have a son to support, so our pension must also be borne by you. I will not count much, but from the time I am sixty years old and cannot work, and when I live to be eighty years old, you will pay me seventy-two taels of silver, plus the needs of his mother's life, and one hundred and forty-four taels of silver for two people."

The latter didn't wait for Zhang Shiaxe to count again, and his father had already fainted. In fact, that's pretending to be dizzy, not dizzy! By the second child, he can't afford to sell their family.

On the one hand, Zhang Shiaxe's eldest brother was angry at Zhang Shiaxe's barbaric way of settling accounts, and on the other hand, he was worried that his father would be really angry, and no one would be able to protect his grandson.

Zhang Shiaxe saw that his father was fainting, but he didn't follow the dishes in a hurry, but said to the two nephews who were trembling with fright: "Your grandfather and grandfather don't give a definite answer before dark tonight, I will burn your hands tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he shook his head again and said, "Forget it, don't burn, it's too troublesome, if it is purulent and fever or something, I can't say that your grandfather and grandmother still have to make excuses for saving money." It's better to just chop off your four fingers and keep your thumbs, just like my son, you can't die if you can't be cured. Don't be afraid, my son just didn't spend any money! You will too. ”

Not to mention how scared the children were, their mothers and grandmothers alone were already scared to pee their pants. Especially their grandmother, who wanted to chop off her own hand to repay the sin she had done on the spur of the moment. It's a pity that Zhang Shiaxe can let her chop her fingers to pay it off, so it's not too cheap for her.

Zhang Shiaxe just said it to his father and eldest brother, so he naturally put his voice loud, and of course his father and his eldest brother heard it. His father found that even if he pretended to be dizzy, the second child would not stop there, so he simply stopped pretending. Immediately returned to the main hall of the hall, sat at the top, let the sons sit together, and bargained with the second child.

The first thing to say is his compensation when he was a soldier, "Second child! At the beginning, even if you exchanged money for military service, it was only thirty taels, but now you want forty-two taels, don't you think it's too much? ”

Zhang Shiaxe replied: "That's okay! I don't overdo it, so you give me thirty taels, and I accept it. ”

His father's intuitive heart was blocked and he couldn't get up, and he was stuffy.

When it comes to living expenses, "One pound of the best rice is only nine yuan, and half a pound of rice a day is enough." Where do you want thirty articles? ”

"Where is half a pound of rice enough! My son has to eat a pound of rice a day, a pound of fish to make up for it, and a quilt in winter. I haven't calculated with you the money to marry a wife or have children! How? You want to give! ”

Suddenly, no one squeaked!

If you want to rely on it and not give it, what can you do to see Zhang Shiaxe? Cut! Zhang family, do they dare? Which child in his family can do not burn sweet potatoes? Which of them dares to guarantee that the second child will say it or not?

Old man Zhang was even more frightened in his heart, he thought that this second child was a filial piety, and every penny he earned after coming back would be handed over to his mother for 1510, how could he know that he turned his face up, and even his father and mother didn't recognize it! The second child came back from being a soldier for ten years, and even the nearby Laizi were afraid of him, and the people who stole chickens and dogs in the past few years never patronized their house, and they were afraid of the second child's fierceness. With such a dick, they really don't dare to be tough with him.

Old man Zhang didn't dare to ignore what the second child said, but he couldn't completely give it to him. Their father and son couldn't talk about the second child, so they had to turn to the elder of the Zhang family for help. The Zhang family is a big family, and the family consciousness is also very strong, and of course there are many family rules. However, Zhang Shiaxe only said in front of the clan elder that the sister-in-law hurt the heirs of the Zhang family, so that a good official Miao Zi asked her to destroy it. If the clan elder said that this was a trivial matter, then he would not chase after him for compensation, but only 'dig the scoop according to the gourd' according to the trivial matter that the clan elder said, and give it to the nephews and nephews at home.

The clan elder told him to block his words, and if he was ready to fill his stomach, he couldn't say a word. He had also heard rumors about Zhang Shiaxe's son, but he didn't know exactly what it was. However, the orphans in Hepu Town have passed many Jinshi exams and have become officials, and he has heard a lot. Since Zhang Shiaxe's son was reused by the owner at a young age, it shows that he is a capable person, if it weren't for the disability of his hand, maybe he would really be able to be admitted to the Jinshi and become an official or something. Although there is no shortage of officials in the Zhang family, there will be too many of them!

However, in the end, the clan elder did not excuse himself and left, and still persuaded Zhang Shiaxe to take a step back. Under the coordination of the clan elders, the two sides made a settlement of three hundred taels of silver, and by the way, the family was also divided. Write the separation document and the settlement document to the silver in person, and leave the seal of the three parties. Each has a separate document and a closing paper, and the matter is dealt with clearly.

Zhang Shiaxe did not stay at home overnight, he took the money and the documents of separation and settlement, and immediately hired a carriage to go to Hepu Town overnight.

The brothers of the Zhang family looked at the hundreds of taels of silver that they had worked hard to save for several years, but they were wrapped up in a clean bag by the second child, and they were distressed and just wanted to vomit blood. Old man Zhang was also distressed, but looking at the third and fourth who were full of dissatisfaction, and then at the depressed boss, the depression in his heart was alleviated a little.

"Who are you looking like this for? At the beginning, I asked you to treat the second daughter-in-law and his son well, which of you listened to me?! At that time, your second daughter was not at home, and you all treated your second daughter-in-law as a maid, aren't you all quite majestic?! Why is it all like this now?! At this point today, I think I deserve it! ”

Zhang Shiaxe's mother raised her head and wanted to speak, but was glared at by the old man and retracted again. Everyone else also lowered their heads and thought about what they had done at the beginning, no longer you staring at me and me staring at you, looking for each other's faults. (To be continued......)
