Chapter 13: Finally Separated

Li and Sun are not only from the same village, they were still handkerchiefs before they got married, and they also looked at Sun's character, the second brother Tang Tiexiong is also a capable person, and the husband and wife are not the kind of people who love to take advantage, the children of the two families have always been close, and they are afraid that the Sun family will be busy and say: "This is a good idea, but the younger siblings don't think that the sister-in-law's family is slow to make money, after all, my family has many children, and I have to send wood and stones to study, and the expenses are also increasing, so I am afraid that my younger brothers and sisters will not be able to wait,"

"Look at what the sister-in-law said, in fact, I also hide my careful eyes, waiting for the wood and stone brothers to read and write, when they come back from the school in their spare time, just teach our tiger head, our tiger head in the province knows how to play every day, and wait for a year or two to go to the school, the master is better than other people's babies when he asks about learning," Sun said that Li's heart was warm, and he said that he had a good brother and sister.

"Sister-in-law, you said that my father-in-law said that he would divide the family this time, can it be divided? Alas! After all, with my mother-in-law next to us, we can't get anything good, I guess even the land we get has to be the worst acres in the family," Sun said for a long time, and then he thought that he came here to discuss with his sister-in-law what to do if the division was unfair.

"Brother and sister, sister-in-law is not afraid to say something that you are not happy about, that is, to give me the worst acres of land, I am also happy, it is better than a big family together, the babies want to eat something good can not eat, you look at our baby, every face is sallow, usually eat and cook without even a single oil and water, I recognize the loss, but also to divide the family," Li is single-minded to split the family, never want to live with the main house again.

"Yes, as long as we can divide the family, it is stronger than anything else, we can't count on the main house, when the men admit it, they are willing to do it, and the mother's family pulls it from time to time, and the days will always be better than now," Sun listened to the sister-in-law said frankly, and felt that it was right to come here, otherwise he would only be still drilling at home, if the score was less, it was indispensable to quarrel with his mother-in-law, and everyone had to say that she was not filial behind her back.

The eldest and the second family were talking about the separation of the family, and the Sun family also hurriedly went to the Huang family, discussing which piece of dry land should be obtained, which piece of paddy field, as well as the chickens at home, the kitchen dishes and chopsticks, and the most important thing is which tools for farming can be divided, the Huang family is not worried about the separation of the family at all, because the father-in-law and mother-in-law cannot live with the eldest brother, they have to live with them, who makes the family the youngest, they are not in a hurry does not mean that the mother-in-law is not in a hurry, after all, she has to spend the rest of her life with their family.

So what Ma said, Huang agreed, just didn't mention his own opinions, Sun said for a long time, his mouth was dry, and he swallowed several times of spitting, and when he looked back, the four brothers and sisters were embroidered on the kang by the old god, and turned back to his room angrily, picked up the bowl on the table and drank three bowls of water.

Zhang was counting the family's silver money in the house, taking out the dowry money for Tang Jing for four taels, and there were only fourteen taels of silver left in the house, and secretly took out four taels of silver from the fourteen taels and hid it, this is the pension money for her and the old man, and no one can give it.

In the evening, waiting for the men in the family to come back, everyone finished eating, did not leave, all waiting for the old man to speak, waiting for the dinner table to be cleaned up, the old man sat on the top, and said to everyone: "I know that you can't wait to split up, this twisted melon is not sweet, scattered is scattered, but you can't because of the separation, the feelings between your brothers and sisters will fade, remember that you are the descendants of the old Tang family, relatives with bones and tendons." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but the old Tang Tou continued: "What about dividing the family, I also thought about how to divide it one day today, and I probably have a charter in my heart, I will say it, you can see if you agree or not, agree, let's find someone to come over, if you don't agree, then talk about it." ”

The fourth Tang Tiequan was in a hurry, and said bluntly: "Dad, tell me." "If it's too unfair, then everyone is not stupid, they are all sons, and they also demand fair treatment in terms of property.

Old Tang said: "There are not many people in our family, but there is nothing valuable, there are a total of seven acres of dry land and four acres of water land at home, I am not wrong." All four sons nodded.

"Then there is the family's house, as well as grain, money and chickens, we don't have large animals in our family, these are also convenient to divide, farm tools or something, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Let's talk about this land first, there were originally seven acres of dry land, my mother and I left one acre, the remaining six acres, the eldest and the second two acres each, the third and fourth each have one acre," without waiting for Zhang's to speak, Ma hurriedly said: "Dad, why is it that the eldest brother and the second brother are both two acres, and we and the fourth brother's family are one acre, this is not fair." ”

Even Tang Jing, who was on the side, couldn't see it, after all, it was his own brother, so he didn't want them to get less, and said angrily: "Yes, Dad, it's unfair for you to share it like this." ”

Old man Tang glanced at Ma Shi and Tang Jing, and said directly: "Haven't I finished talking yet, what are you looking for, wait for me to finish speaking, you will mention it if you have any opinions, shut up for me now, and you Jing'er, if you are about to marry a daughter, there is no point for you to intervene in the matter of family separation." Ma Shi wanted to speak again angrily, but he was glared at by the master and extinguished the fire, and Tang Jing reluctantly shut up.

Old Man Tang glanced at everyone and continued: "The land given to the eldest and second is not fertile land, the four acres of land of the two of them are all at the foot of the mountain, and everyone knows that the grain produced every year is small, so I will give them all one acre of land, do you still have any opinions?"

Zhang and Ma also knew the situation of the dry land at home, the four acres of land were indeed at the foot of the mountain, the land was not very fertile, and the yield was not very high.

Old man Tang paused, and continued: "There are also these four acres of paddy fields, I don't want your mother and you, these four acres of your brother one acre, Jing'er will marry at the end of the year, the dowry and your mother are also ready, and you don't need to add anything to the makeup, there are still twelve taels of silver left in the house, I and your mother will keep two taels, and the remaining ten taels will be divided equally between you" After the old Tang finished speaking, he put the silver on the square table, remembering that when the old woman gave him silver, he stumbled when he spoke, and his eyes dodged, guessed that the old woman must have secretly hidden the silver behind her back, and told herself that there were ten taels left, which would definitely be more than this, so she deliberately reported twelve taels of silver, and she had to take it out even if she didn't want to take it at that time.

When Zhang heard that his wife had reported twelve taels of silver, he hated it so much that he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to feel distressed and took out two taels of silver.

"If you don't speak, I'll assume that you all agree, then I'll talk about this house, how you lived in the past or how you live now, these are all yours, if any of you want to move out, the house can be sold to your brother or rebuilt by yourself, I don't care about this, whatever you want."

Yes...... Yes...... I don't care...... I don't care...... Why doesn't anyone collect it?
