Chapter 58: Driven Out
The three Wen Xin brothers and sisters put down their things and went to the kitchen to boil water, and they could vaguely hear Wen Xifu's voice blaming Chen Tao.
"What did you do, my daughter's body is shivering from the cold, why do you still let her stand in the courtyard, what if she gets sick, can you stay at home, don't I cut all the firewood at home?" Wen Xifu didn't know why his father asked Chen Tao to go to the mountains to chop wood, and he had to let Wen Yue and Wen Di go too.
Wen Desheng heard what Wen Xifu said in the house, rushed out of the house like the wind, and shouted at Wen Xifu with his throat in his throat. "You unfilial son, Lao Tzu can't call your daughter-in-law anymore, what's wrong with telling her to go up the mountain to chop wood, do you want me to raise a few people who just eat white rice and don't work, there is no reason in the world, your wings are stiff and don't listen to me, since you take care of your daughter-in-law, then you can move out, anyway, you have successfully calculated and split up, Lao Tzu can't control you."
Wen Xifu opened his mouth to speak when he heard this, but in the end he didn't answer, and pulled Chen Tao into the house with a stinky face.
Wen Xifu in the house confessed to Chen Tao: "You are not allowed to enter the mountain in the future, this time fortunately you came back safely, do you know what is in the mountain, there are wild boars and tigers everywhere, and I don't know if you can come out completely next time you enter the mountain." ”
Today, Chen Tao and the others were so frightened that they fell down in panic because they heard the tiger roar.
"You think I want to go into the mountain, but the old man has to let us go into the mountain, what can I do, the old man can say, if I don't go into the mountain to cut wood, he will ask you to divorce me, I am old, if I am divorced, where can I live." Chen Tao, who is usually strong, also cried tears when he talked about being suspended at this time.
As soon as Chen Tao cried, Wen Yue Wendi cried. "Dad, I just don't like us, I wish he would be happy if we died."
Hearing this, Wen Xifu was silent, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that his father hated him so much because of his eldest brother's affairs, and wished that his wife and daughter would die?
"Don't worry, I won't leave you, no one is allowed to enter the mountain from now on, if your father is angry in the future, you will go out and hide, and wait for me to come back." Wen Xifu didn't want his wife and daughter to quarrel with Wen Desheng, this was the only way he could come up with.
"Don't worry, you are the head of the family, strictly speaking, we have split up, and you have the final say in everything in our family." Chen Tao said that it would be good if they moved out to live, even if they lived in an earthen house, it would be better for the family to be happy together than here.
Hearing this, Wen Xifu's face darkened, and he said in a sullen voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I broke up because I had to break up the family, I never thought about splitting the family, not to mention that now that the eldest brother is gone, I can't split the family." ”
Wen Xifu knew in his heart that Chen Tao wanted to go out to live by himself, but no matter how much his father didn't like him, after all, he gave birth to him and raised him to such a big age, he couldn't ignore his father and mother.
Chen Tao didn't expect Wen Xifu to agree to a real separation, but he just had a trace of thought in his heart.
At noon, Wen Desheng was very dissatisfied with Chen Tao and Wen Yue, but he still didn't let them eat, and in the afternoon Wen Desheng asked Chen Tao and them to go into the mountains to chop firewood.
"Master, my father said, don't let us go into the mountains to chop firewood anymore, it's not that there is no firewood at home, why do you have to let us go, Wenxin didn't often go into the mountains to chop firewood before, you tell her to go."
Wen Di listened to her father's words at noon, and she was happy that she didn't have to go into the mountain anymore, but when she heard that Wen Desheng was going to ask her to chop wood, of course she didn't follow it.
Wen Desheng saw Chen Tao take Wen Yue Wendi into the house, and his face turned black with anger in the courtyard.
"Third sister, Wen Di, this girl is getting worse and worse, she doesn't go up the mountain to chop wood, and she wants to ask you to go, I really think that she is the only one who can't do it." Wen Sheng thought that the third sister was going to sell vegetables in the morning and tidy up the vegetable patch in the afternoon, where would there be time to chop wood.
"It's just that she doesn't help her grandmother when she is idle in the house, and she is still beaten like that when she goes to lie in the mountain, we don't get beaten every day when we go up the mountain, it's really useless."
Wen Sheng and Wen Wen chatted in the hall, and always asked Wen Xin if what they said was right.
Wen Xin really didn't want to chat with Wen Sheng, the topic was too boring, but she still couldn't bear to dampen the excitement of the two, and always nodded to them, or smiled at them.
The day before the end of the year, Wen Desheng called everyone into the house to talk.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, next year we have to save money, Huaifu has to spend a lot of money to get married, Wenxin also has to order a variety of dishes, and usually catch more pheasants and rabbits to go home." Wen Desheng saw that Wen Xin brought so many prey home every day, and he thought in his heart whether to let Wen Xin specialize in hunting.
Aren't the Shang brothers just hunting, they can save a few hundred taels of silver, and those few hundred taels are probably not all the Shang family's wealth, so it can be seen that hunting can really make a lot of money.
"Master, hunting depends on luck, everyone will plant vegetables in the spring next year, and my vegetables will not be able to be sold by then, and these days there are always people quietly following me into the mountains, and I almost let them follow them to the hot springs several times." Wen Xin complained that she wasted a lot of time every time she went up the mountain these days, just to get rid of those people.
She just made a little money selling vegetables, why are so many people red-eyed, if you want to make money, think about it yourself, what do you do with her.
Wen Desheng heard that someone was following Wen Xin, and scolded those people for being shameless.
"In the future, you have to be very careful when you go up the mountain, and you can't let people find the hot springs." The hot spring is a place where money can be made, and it can't be taken away by others.
Hearing Wen Desheng emphasize the importance of hot springs again, Wen Di suddenly curled the corners of her mouth, as if she had encountered something happy.
Look at grandpa so serious, the wild boar prepared by Wen Xin can't be eaten at home, on the afternoon of the New Year, Wen Xin went into the mountains to take care of the vegetable patch as usual, but she brought Wen Le with her, and when she went out, Wen Di said that she would follow her, I don't know what Wen Di was doing.
Thinking that Wen Di walked slowly and had an arrogant temperament, going out with them was not the same as taking a Lafayette out, and Wen Xin, who was troublesome, refused Wen Di's request.
"The second uncle said, you are not allowed to enter the mountain again, what is good in the mountain, why do you have to go with me today, it won't be a bad idea." Wen Xin looked at Wen Di and suspected that Wen Di's motives were impure.
Wen Xin originally just said it casually, but when Wen Di heard this, she was like a fried cat, and she didn't want to reason with Wen Xin.
"Wenxin, you tell me clearly, I want to help you take care of the vegetable patch, why is it a bad idea, you usually don't like me, and now you are wronging me at will, don't think that you have made money for the family, the family is your boss, an unmarried woman walks with Brother Shang Ming all day long, and I don't know what the relationship between the two of you is."
Wen Di's overreaction made Wen Xin speechless, what happened to her relationship with Shang Ming, even if Shang Ming liked her, she was only ten years old, she would not admit this feeling, she didn't want to get married and have children in her teens, and wander around the stove all day long.
