36. Separation
"Separation?" The sixth master of the village chief looked at Cheng Linghui who was sitting on the small bench, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no, Chengjiazhuang has not had this rule since ancient times." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoYour grandmother and your father are still there, and your mother doesn't have a son. This is going to be separated, who will care about your mother when she gets old in the future? ”
"I'll take care of it." Cheng Linghui said without hesitation.
The sixth master said: "It's a pity that you are not a brat. You're such a brat, it's easy to talk about this separation. ”
Cheng Linghui said: "What's wrong with not being a kid?" Why don't I marry a daughter-in-law too? Don't you still let my mother be a grandmother for several years? ”
The sixth master said: "How is it the same? You're making a show. I haven't settled accounts with you yet? You stinky girl, you tricked a village of people into playing tricks on you. ”
Cheng Linghui said: "Sixth Master, please." She could only resort to rogue tricks: "If you don't agree, I'll stay at your house and not leave." ”
The sixth master couldn't entangle her, and said perfunctorily: "You have to let me think about such a big thing, and ask your father and your grandmother what they mean." ”
Cheng Linghui thought that this matter would not be entangled for a long time, but who knew that the accident would go smoothly. Among them, Erniang played a decisive role. Because my mother was sick. Bedridden. Not to mention working, you have to pay for medicine every day. Cheng Linghui doesn't take the initiative to take out the money, and with his father's macho personality, he will never talk to Cheng Linghui.
After all, he and his mother are married couples, and they can't leave their mother alone. This is spending money, of course Erniang is not happy. It was all her son's. I had trouble with my father three times in two days. The essence of the shrew is exposed. She just didn't care. blatantly pointed at his mother and scolded, cursing his mother for not dying.
How could Cheng Linghui's temper tolerate this, and she bleed from the mouth with a slap. Erniang also wants to fight with Cheng Linghui. But she was gone. Cheng Linghui is not a weak little girl. She single-handedly overturned a village in Chenjia Village. Ordinary people dare to argue with her. If it weren't for his father who came back after hearing the news, he drank Cheng Linghui. I'm afraid that she will only have to sleep in the coffin next.
Erniang suffered a big loss, and clamored to let her father divorce her mother. But what hardships my mother has endured at home over the years, the neighbors have seen it. Grandma and mother also have feelings. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if grandma agrees, the neighbors can't pass that hurdle. At that time, don't underestimate the power of your neighbors. If his father really dared to do this, the neighbors would be able to poke his backbone until he couldn't accommodate himself in the village.
The father had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and agreed to split up.
This one doesn't really have much to offer. The house, food, and cloth are all visible at a glance. The mother is a sincere person, and she feels that she doesn't have a son, and it is useless to leave too many things, so she even took out the ten taels of silver she had saved for her private money.
As soon as Erniang saw her mother's private money, she was immediately happy. The money her father has earned over the years is in her hands, and no one mentions it, of course she will not take the initiative to take it out. She was of course happy that she could still share her mother's money if she didn't have a dime. She didn't want to think that a cowardly woman like her mother could have so much private money. So where did the money come from? How much money should the person who gave the mother money have?
Cheng Linghui felt very uncomfortable. Not only because of the things he earned for nothing, but also because of the family affection that he could never get back. She understands that she, her grandmother, and her father will never be able to go back to their childhood.
Regarding the fact that Erniang didn't take out the private money, her mother didn't mention it, and the sixth master was so happy that she turned a blind eye. In his heart, he is still somewhat biased towards his father and the second mother who has a son.
Everything is divided by head. Erniang took the initiative to take care of her grandmother. Although her grandmother was reluctant to Cheng Linghui, she still chose to follow her father. Cheng Linghui understands that compared with her granddaughter, her grandmother is more willing to follow her son and grandson.
In the end, Cheng Linghui and her mother were only divided into three West Houses and a dark room at the top of the West Roof. There was a lot of food, enough for the mother and daughter to eat for several years. The rest of the miscellaneous things, Cheng Linghui doesn't care. Mother only cares about being sad, and she doesn't care. Basically, what Erniang says is what it is.
Erniang felt that she had taken a big bargain, and she was also generous in small things. A lot of them were given to Cheng Linghui's mother and daughter. As for the land, Cheng Linghui only needed the one near the west field. Less than two acres in total. Now Erniang is even happier. Even Cheng Linghui almost forgot about her to death. called his mother a 'big sister'. I don't know, I think they are sisters.
After the family was divided, the uncles rushed to hear the news. I only felt that my mother had suffered a big loss, and when I wanted to make trouble with my father, I saw that Cheng Linghui's mother and daughter didn't care, so I had to scold Cheng Linghui for a while.
When the second sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister rushed back when they heard the news. It's already the fifth day after the separation. My mother's illness was much better, and she sat at the gate and basked in the sun. For some reason, seeing her mother's appearance, Cheng Linghui suddenly remembered her grandfather. She even secretly rejoiced that her grandfather was dead. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would treat myself and my mother now.
The second sister and the two sisters cried when they saw their mother, but their mother comforted them instead. also laughed and said that in the future, it will depend on a few of their sisters to support the elderly. Cheng Linghui felt that her mother was dead set on the regret of not having a son. In fact, it is not a bad thing to die. She was happy for her mother, feeling that she finally didn't have to live so tired, and when she turned her face to a place where there was no one, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
It is rare for the sisters to go home to get together, so Cheng Linghui deliberately went to Zhuanshui City to cut five catties of meat. At noon, I wrapped dumplings with large meat fillings. I served a bowl to the fifth master and grandmother. The fifth master smiled and said, "I haven't eaten such delicious dumplings for a long time." You don't know how to buy me some wine. He also said: "Dumplings are wine, and the more you drink, the more you have." ”
Cheng Linghui knew that the fifth master was deliberately laughing and relieving himself, just like he deliberately raised the bar with himself before.
"Fifth Master." Cheng Linghui called the fifth master.
The fifth master was full of dumplings and said vaguely: "What's the matter?" Say. The sky is falling, and there is your fifth master! ”
Cheng Linghui said seriously: "I will definitely be filial to you and provide for you in old age." ”
The fifth master lowered his head: "You kid, why are you talking about this?" ”
Cheng Linghui said: "When you die, I can also give you linen and filial piety." Grandpa's old basin was broken by me. ”
The fifth master raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, nodded and said, "Fifth master believes." It doesn't depend on who you are the disciple of the teaching. ”
Cheng Linghui said: "Fifth master, I am serious. ”
The fifth master finally couldn't hold back his tears, and choked up: "What's the matter with you kid today?" Eating your dumplings has to make the fifth master's tears out. ”
Cheng Linghui sniffed and wiped the tears that flowed all over her face at some point. Lifting the rice basket, he said, "I'm gone." I'll come back to see you in the evening. Give you a drink. ”
"Let's go, let's go. Don't disturb the fifth master eating. The fifth master waved her hand to chase her.
Cheng Linghui went home with a rice basket. Grandma heard the footsteps and called her through the window: "Sanhui, you come." ”
Cheng Linghui walked into the house. I saw my half-brother, Liugen, burying his head in the bowl and eating the dumplings that Cheng Linghui gave to his grandmother earlier.
She walked up to her grandmother and asked, "Milk, what's the matter?" ”
Grandma advised: "You and your two women's families, there will be a long life in the future." Don't spend money so lavishly. In the future, remember to be thrifty, and don't give me anything to eat. How can I eat more and eat less? ”
"Milk." Cheng Linghui suddenly felt that her eyes were sour again. She wanted to hug her grandmother's neck and be coquettish like before, but when she saw that the fart child still held back. Nodding his head, he said, "I wrote it down." ”
Several sisters were sent away. Cheng Linghui cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. She was afraid that her mother would be uncomfortable eating too many dead noodles like dumplings when she was getting older. In the evening, I deliberately boiled a thick millet porridge. She didn't have much of the heart to eat herself. I drank two sips of water in one day.
Who knows, my mother slept soundly all night. When I woke up in the morning, my complexion was better than Cheng Linghui. After breakfast, I went out to hang out. This was absolutely not the case before. For as long as Cheng Linghui can remember, she has never seen her mother go to anyone's house. At first, Cheng Linghui was not at ease. Mother walks in front, and she follows. Later, she realized that she was really too careful. Mother just went to the door, chatted with those old sisters who were about the same age as herself, and played leaf cards.
Cheng Linghui was relieved, and from time to time put a few copper plates on her mother's pillow. Ask my mother to buy some snacks or something. The mother also ate it herself, and also generously gave it to some children in the village. So, those children are especially fond of their mothers. The children and grandchildren were happy, and the aunts and aunts in the village naturally welcomed their mothers to visit the house.
When Erniang saw it, she felt that her mother didn't give anything to her son to eat, but gave it to outsiders, and her family suffered a lot. But she was afraid of Cheng Linghui's fist and didn't dare to offend her mother very much. can only refer to Sang and scold Huai all day long. Grandma said two words to her, and she actually pulled her neck and choked grandma. can make grandma angry enough. Her father beat her up for this. But it still doesn't change after that. Grandma won't talk about her.
As for Cheng Linghui's mother and daughter, they treat her as air at all. Erniang was twelve points stronger, and she didn't let it go.
In the blink of an eye, it is the twenty-second day of the lunar month of another year. This day is the customary day for prospective sons-in-law in Shaxi County to come to the door to give New Year's gifts. The second sister and the two sisters are already married. And they don't obey this. So, after the mother finished eating, she went to visit the house as usual. Cheng Linghui has nothing to do and cuts window grilles at home.
She hadn't done anything like her daughter's in years. Now I picked it up again and cut it very carefully.
Suddenly heard Erniang's voice: "Who are you looking for?" ”
