Chapter 30: Greed and the Heart of Man

At this time, everyone in the hall happened to come back to their senses, Mu Li saw this situation, his eyebrows twisted into a Sichuan character, and he said lightly: "Today I invited the village chief and the clan elder to come for the separation of me and my second brother." This matter was decided before my second brother and I went out, but it was not completely implemented. But something happened during this time, so it's better to divide it completely. Today, I would like to ask the village chief, clan elders, and cousins to help testify. ”

Mu Li has always spoken very calmly and methodically, and there was Mu Jian there as a foil before, all the old people present secretly praised in their hearts, and at the same time scolded Old Man Mu: There is such a sensible son who is still doing it over there, now it's okay, this son is going to be completely separated, and he may be a stranger in the future, and it is also a wonder that Old Man Mu can be mixed like this!

However, they all supported Mu Li Muyi's request to split the family, whether it was the old man Mu, the elders of Xiao Zhao, or the peers of Mu Jianqian, who were dissatisfied, and it was natural to want to split the family.

And the division here is actually just a process, as Mu Li said, and the real separation documents have been written more than ten years ago.

The land and the house have already been divided, and now the only thing that needs to be determined is the alimony, but the land and the house alone have already suffered a lot before, so it is right that the alimony is slightly lower in the eyes of outsiders.

However, their thoughts were all frightened by Old Man Mu's shamelessness after he made this request. You must know that the income of ordinary people in the countryside is only two or three gold coins a year, and as soon as you open your mouth, you have to give one gold coin to each household every year, that is, the old man Mu wants to exploit two gold coins from the brothers every year.

Even if the brothers earn a little more by working in the county, the two families now have a total of four children in Yuantang! This alone is already a huge burden.

This grandfather not only didn't want to help, but pulled back over there, if they were to live or die, they would have to split up, and Mu Li Muyi could bear it.

The clan elder laughed angrily: "One gold coin a year? Gold? Mu Xianxing, what are you dreaming of in the middle of the day! Where do you think you are rich? You look at Xianmin, he is the head of the village, how much does his two sons give each year? The clan elder asked word by word while knocking on the crutches, in his opinion, the appearance of such a person in the Mu family is really corrupting the clan style!

Seeing that the clan was old-fashioned, Mu Yi hurriedly went up to help Shunqi, there were more than a hundred old people, if he was really angry, it would be the sin of his juniors.

And this matter is not worth being so angry, this kind of request of the old man Mu will not be agreed to as long as the two brothers are not sick in their brains.

Seeing that the clan elder was like this, the old man Mu also rolled in his heart, but after thinking of these two, he no longer controlled them, you must know that if you don't raise your requirements now, there will be no way to restrain the two of them in the future.

At this time, the village chief, who had not spoken, spoke: "Although I expected something to happen, and I also estimated that you would open your mouth, but I thought that you would ask for at most thirty silver coins per family, it seems that I made a mistake in my estimate, this is completely unpopular!" Don't say that the two brothers won't agree to this kind of request, even if you can't pass the level between me and the clan elder. If outsiders knew, they wouldn't be able to poke the backbone of our Mu family! ”

The village chief Mu Xianmin sighed, his old wife is the sixth grandmother, before he came here, he told him not to let the old man Mu do nonsense, at first the old village chief thought that it was his wife's selfishness, where did he think that the old man Mu is really worse than at the beginning!

Hearing the village chief say this, several other old people also nodded again and again, if this is the case, it is not that they can't raise their heads!

Seeing that everyone was like this, Old Man Mu's eyes flashed, but thinking of the words he heard strengthened his belief that the boss had a lot of money on it! I don't want too much, besides, this house is already very face-saving without asking for it.

When the village chief saw Old Man Mu's expression, he knew what Old Man Mu was thinking, and it seemed that he would not retreat without putting some pressure on him.

The old village chief shook his head and stepped aside, now the clan elder is here, what the clan elder said is equivalent to an order, an order to press down the old man Mu has to agree if he doesn't agree, this family's affairs are really annoying, to put it mildly, as long as the clan elder opens the household registration to Mu Li Muyi, there will be nothing else, and now the old man Mu can appear here It is already the filial piety of Mu Li and Mu Yi, but the current situation is estimated to have exhausted the last point.

"Mu Xianxing, it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with this separation today, you have signed this separation agreement more than ten years ago, and several of you here are also witnesses, and you can't rely on it. This is clearly written in black and white, you were not responsible for raising them at the beginning, and don't think about them raising you in the future. Muli Muyi was watched by my old man to grow up, they give you a pension is love, not to give you that is duty, this matter is also a saying that you are pushed to the county! I'm here today, people are watching the sky, you touch your conscience before you speak! ”

The clan elder took a breath, turned to Mu Li and said: "Ah Li, you go to the ancestral hall in a while to bring over the previous agreement, and the new household registration is also prepared with the family separation documents, you can also take it directly, it just so happens that the village chief is also there, ask him to stamp it, and the family will be divided!" ”

Hearing the clan elder say this, the old man Mu was in a hurry, he didn't say anything and divided the family, and the pension had not yet been settled, how could this be done.

"Wait, cousin, whatever you say, they're my sons. It's a matter of course for a son to raise a son! ”

"Mu Xianxing, as the old saying goes, 'raising children to prevent old age', but this raising children is in front, you have almost never raised you, and you still say anything to prevent old age! If you weren't related by blood, no, even if you did, it would be normal if they didn't support you, depending on what you did before! ”

Now it is Old Man Mu's own uncle Mu Jinggang who is speaking, but since Old Man Mu and his father left, the two families have basically stopped contacting.

Moreover, Mu Jinggang has been watching the old man Mu coldly over the years, and he has also seen through the cold-bloodedness of his nephew.

A person who does not honor his parents and doesn't care about his son, and still hopes that he will be well supported, is simply a fool's dream. Even if it is the youngest son he can look up to now, according to Mu Jinggang's eyes, when Old Man Mu can't do it anymore and needs to be raised, there will still be noise at that time!

Old man Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that it was Mu Jinggang who was talking, his uncle had seen himself unpleasantly a long time ago, but his seniority was there, and there was no way to refute it.

But Old Man Mu only thought about seniority, but didn't think about what his uncle said at all! Old Man Mu fell silent, and there was an eerie silence in the room.
