Chapter 36: Uncle Han's Calculations
When the villagers heard Erzhu's number, they exclaimed again.
You really can't blame these villagers for being rare and strange, you must know that now the land of the Dachang Dynasty is more than two stones, and each family has just a few acres of land to cope with the annual tax adjustment is enough to work, and the pension food is just to advocate filial piety and meaning, basically as long as you are not hungry, no one will say how much, and the old couple of Xiucai are going to go to their son's one acre of grain, and it is really the first time I heard of it in Xia Tang Village.
Looking at the reaction of the villagers, Han Chuxue knew that this was too much to ask, and silently made another note.
"Filial piety to the old man is due, but the donkey is indeed not mine, the family teacher is afraid that I will not be able to walk far when I am young and specially borrowed me to walk, in desperation, we have to go back, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the old man in the future."
"I have to come back."
Everyone nodded, after all, in the countryside, this donkey is a valuable livestock, don't say it, just borrow it, and those who are not really familiar with it will not be willing.
Aunt Qin said even more warmly, "Let's go, let's go with you, so that the mother-in-law won't bully you." ”
To tell the truth, Erzhu was actually worried that his brother and sister would not be able to talk about the third aunt's mouth, and now that someone is willing to accompany him, he immediately laughed happily, seeing him like this, Han Chuxue didn't say anything anymore, and having more witnesses was actually not a bad thing.
As for why there were more, the other villagers who had nothing to do also followed behind to join in the fun.
There is no way that there is little entertainment in rural places, and the long and short ones in this house are often used as dramas.
It is said that a certain donkey, now as Erzhu expected, is tied to the yard of Uncle Han's house.
Staring at a certain man who dared to tie his rotten rope and wandered around in front of his eyes, a certain donkey only felt that his tail was so itchy, and he really wanted to pump someone, what should he do?
And a certain man didn't know that he was wandering around in front of the ghost gate, and after looking up and down, left and right, he stroked his chin and looked puzzled, "Daughter-in-law, you said that this donkey belongs to the second brother's family?" ”
How could the poor and dilapidated family of his second brother have such a strong donkey.
It turned out that this was the third uncle Han who killed Han Chuxue.
Aunt Han nodded and said, "It was taken away in his yard, do you say it can't be his family?" I heard that the second girl of his family rode back. ”
Erya?
Third Uncle Han's eyebrows shrugged, and he leaned over to Aunt Han's side, "Which second girl?" ”
"Which one else, isn't it the one your mother sent to the nunnery, the one you said died."
"What? She's back? ”
Third Uncle Han's sudden high-pitched voice frightened Aunt Han so much that she almost jumped up, and after relieving, she slapped her chest with one hand, and slapped it on Third Uncle Han with the other, "You are dead, what are you doing so loudly all of a sudden." ”
Third Uncle Han was so anxious that he circled around the yard, "Why did she come back, she came back, before that, we said that she was dead, didn't it be exposed?" ”
Aunt Han glanced at him, "What are you afraid of, there are more babies who die every year when they are sent to the nunnery, what's strange about being mistaken." ”
Third Uncle Han was not as calm as her, "You don't know, when we said that when we were looking for her, it was the owner of the nunnery who saw us in person, and that attitude was like what kind of amazing person was the person who took her away, in case this baby came back to settle accounts with us, wouldn't it be troublesome?" You know, the money that the owner of the nunnery gave us, we didn't give the second brother a penny. ”
Aunt Han was very unimpressed, "A child with a big fart, what kind of wind and waves can she make." Besides, that money is not used by our family, don't your father and mother also use it, no matter how big the master she worships, as long as her surname is Han, does she dare to chase her grandmother back to get back that amount of money? ”
Third Uncle Han stopped, stroked his jaw and thought about it, "That's right." ”
The Dachang Dynasty pays attention to filial piety, and it is natural for grandparents to spend their grandchildren's money, even if they are her own uncle, it is not a big deal to spend a little silver on her.
"Daughter-in-law, you're still smart."
Aunt Han glanced at him proudly, "Then you don't need to say, you, it's better to think about how to get this donkey completely out of my mother's hands, let's tell you, my mother said that this donkey is going to drive a donkey cart for your eldest brother, and it was not easy for us to coax her to let us go first." ”
As soon as he heard that this donkey was not his own, Uncle Han immediately jumped up, "What? To Big Brother? Why! ”
"Just because he is the eldest son and grandson of your father's house." Speaking of this, Aunt Han was full of disdain.
Speaking of this, Third Uncle Han was also full of grievances, "What's wrong with the eldest son and grandson, the one who has been with his father and mother for many years is us, and he has taken advantage of all the benefits." ”
"Not really." When she mentioned this, Aunt Han was also on fire in her belly, "Look at all the food left by my father and mother every year, and we can only get a little bit in the end." ”
The more I said that the third uncle and his wife were more unfair, and the more they said that it was, the more angry they became.
"No, this donkey can't say anything to the eldest brother, with it in the spring, our family's ten acres of land will be much easier."
"We think so too, but how can we convince my mother, she is now bent on getting a donkey cart for her eldest brother so that their father and son can come back to see her and her father from time to time."
Third Uncle Han stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, "There is a way." ”
"What's the solution?"
"Didn't we say it just now, this land has to be rectified at the beginning of spring, and now that the second brother is injured like that, there will definitely be no way to go to the field again, and the more than ten acres of land that my father and mother and eldest brother have allocated will not be served by anyone, let's just say that with this donkey, we can help them, and my mother can't let my eldest brother come back two more times without food, right?"
Third Aunt Han patted Third Uncle Han on the shoulder excitedly, "In this idea, no one should take care of that place, see what they eat this year." ”
Han Xiucai because of the identity of a Xiucai, so he got ten acres of paddy field, and although Uncle Han has not been in the village for many years, but the household registration has not moved, so he also got five acres of mouth field, in the past, these fifteen acres of land were planted by Han Daddy's family day and night, but now Han Daddy has broken his leg, the most important strong labor is gone, so much land, it must not be finished, so Han San Uncle thought of using this method to occupy a donkey.
After being happy for a while, Aunt Han frowned again, "But his father, our family has ten acres of paddy fields, if you really want to help your father and your eldest brother, these more than 20 acres of land can be tired of people even if there are donkeys." ”
This time, the third uncle of Changhan was proud, "My daughter-in-law just praised you for being smart, why did you become stupid, let's just say that we used this excuse to occupy this donkey and didn't really say that I was going to help." ”
"But there is no one to plant in that land, will my father and mother be willing?"
"The second brother can't go down to the field, aren't there still a few of them? Anyway, when the time comes, let's go to my mother and shout bitterness, you go to blow the wind, this work will not fall on our heads. ”
Aunt Han thought about it, too, the group of fools in the second uncle's family are not bright, and they are good at work.
