Old Man Chen finished drinking the ginseng soup and walked into the upper room, the more he thought about it, the more he felt bad in his heart.

As early as when Mrs. Chen entered the North Wing, she ran into the upper room, lay on the kang, and shouted that her heart hurt, and Zhao was waiting beside her with water and tea.

"Poured a bowl of ginseng soup and came back?" Mrs. Chen lay on the kang and said coldly, "Don't think that people are filial to you, and they can't finish drinking, it's the same as feeding dogs." ”

"The boss injured his bones, and there were more than a dozen chickens in the chicken pen, so I gave him five to raise his body." Old Man Chen sat on the edge of the kang, smoked his cigarette pouch, and didn't answer Mrs. Chen's words, "You are grabbing medicine for the boss for five taels of silver." ”

Old Man Chen had already made a decision, but in order to respect his old wife, he used a consultative tone.

Mrs. Chen was angry, and she straightened up and sat up with a "Huo" voice: "That chicken is so big that I worked hard to raise it, it's good for you to take it directly to sell favors." The chickens gave them what to lay eggs? There are no eggs, what to use for oil and salt. Isn't the boss good? Where are the five chickens needed. He said hatefully, "Only the small ones are filial to the old, and our family is good, but the old ones are filial to the young." If you open your mouth, it will be five taels of silver, the boss can be so expensive, five taels of silver can buy an acre of land, how can I have five taels of silver, you just sell me. ”

"The boss is deeply wounded." Old man Chen clicked the cigarette pouch, the smoke coming out of the cigarette pouch was around, Old Man Chen's face flickered in the smoke, and his tone was a little cold, "You also have to be reasonable, our family's silver, except for the money from the harvest and sale in the field, the rest is obtained by the boss sitting in the hall, and the majority of the money obtained from the hall, these years, the boss family has never opened his mouth to ask you for money." ”

Zhao lowered his head. Hearing this, I felt uncomfortable, in this family, their second room has always cost the most. Mrs. Chen is on a lonely crutch. He was never stingy with money for the second room, and Qi Lin's daily expenses in school. The cost of Zhao's rouge and gouache clothes, and even the money that Chen Zichang was doing outside were all out of his hand to ask Mrs. Chen.

When Old Man Chen said this, he simply slapped Zhao's face.

Mrs. Chen consciously took care of the loss, covered her heart and shouted that it hurt.

"Shouldn't he give me the money to sit in the museum? If I were his own mother, you would say that. As soon as she mentioned that she was the stepmother, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but be cold, "It's hard for them to steal and grab their family expenses, and I didn't give them." I'm just raising an old hen. It also lays eggs for me. Have I treated their family badly all these years? The food and clothing are compared with the other rooms, and it is difficult for me to be a stepmother. ”

The more Mrs. Chen spoke, the more excited she became, and she couldn't stop at all: "What Jinghao eats and wears at home is not mine?" You are full of Zhuangzi and ask, how can there be a granddaughter who lives in her grandmother's house? They also asked me for money, Xue Jiao can have no silver in her hand, what kind of eggs can she sell every day to make money? ”

Old Man Chen was so excited that he couldn't say anything for a while, took two puffs of cigarette, and said sullenly: "If a large family lives together, there will inevitably be friction. I think that while I still have a few years to work, I might as well divide the family. ”

Mrs. Chen was stunned, she never thought of separating the family. The Chen family has been in the family for so many years. Old man Chen is in charge of the outside affairs, the inside of the old lady Chen covers the sky with one hand, the inner courtyard is run by the old lady Chen to give the iron bucket generally, if you want to clamp the daughter-in-law, you can clamp the daughter-in-law, if you want to make trouble, you will make trouble, as long as there is no big incident, the old lady Chen does not interfere at all, Mrs. Chen has established a set of her own "system" in the inner courtyard of the Chen family, and now the old man Chen wants to break the system she has worked hard to manage.

Zhao's heart was like thunder, and Chen Zichang heard this in the inner ear room and walked out. He glanced at Zhao. The two families don't want to be separated, and the second room has always been at the top of the family pyramid. Food and clothing are all public money, if the family is divided. The most severely damaged was their home.

………

When Old Man Chen threw out the words of separation, Chen Xuejiao was washing vegetables in the pot house, and she wanted to give Li a bowl of chicken soup noodles. In the past two days, Li's has not eaten and slept well, so it is time to make up for it.

Qi Ping slipped into the pot house, leaned in Chen Xuejiao's ear and whispered, "Second sister, what about the division just now?" ”

Chen Xuejiao's eyes lit up: "Really? Who do you listen to? ”

"Sister Xuewa and I just posted it at the door of the upper room and eavesdropped." Qi Ping said cautiously, his face full of excitement, "Sister, do you think we can divide it?" ”

"You want to divide it?"

"Yes, in this way, we will not be angry."

The noodles were ready, Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qiping took the noodles to the north wing, and when they arrived at the house, they didn't see the Li family, but saw Chen Xueru and Wang Jing making jackets for Chen Xiucai.

"My mother was called by the big egg, saying that there was something going on in the room, and the master asked all the rooms to pass." Chen Xueru lowered her voice and looked at the bed, afraid of waking Chen Xiucai.

"I'll check it out too." Chen Xuejiao put the noodles on the table and took Qi Ping to the upper room.

In the upper room, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen sat on the kang, the rest of the people sat on the stools at the bottom, and the children crowded at the door.

Chen Xuejiao observed everyone, the old man Chen's face was as calm as water, the old lady Chen's face was pale, the eyes of the two people in the second room were worried, the Cai's eyebrows in the third room couldn't hide the joy at the corners of their eyes, and the two people in the fourth room looked wilted. Li sat straight on the stool, her face calm, Chen Xuejiao glanced at her, and she nodded slightly at Chen Xuejiao.

“…… I asked you to come over, there is something to discuss, our family" Old Man Chen said with difficulty, and it could be seen that he didn't have to split up in his heart, but he was forced by Mrs. Chen and others to say the words of splitting up, and now he doesn't regret it. It's just that the words have been spoken, and the people have been gathered, and it is not possible not to open their mouths.

"I don't agree, whoever likes to share it will share it." Before Old Man Chen finished speaking, Old Lady Chen interrupted.

Except for the Li family and the Cai family, everyone's faces were relaxed.

"We listen to my mother." Chen Zi looked at Old Man Chen's expression, and said carefully, "Parents are here, and there is no separation of families, this is the foundation of filial piety." ”

Zhao echoed Chen Zichang's words and nodded softly.

You also know filial piety. Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

"What do you think, old man?" Old Man Chen looked at the Li family with hope, hoping that the Li family, who has always been honest and filial, would say not to split up.

As soon as Li opened his mouth, Old Man Chen was disappointed.

"Theoretically, my father and mother are not separated, but our family has dragged everyone down and my father and mother these days. I think it's better to divide us up. Li's eyes were calm, she said this skillfully, only said to divide the big house.

Old Man Chen's eyes darkened. Mrs. Chen was angry in her heart, and the Li family used to let her handle it. She does all the hard work, if she is separated, who will help her work and Liwei.

"Where's the third child?" Old Man Chen turned to Chen Zifu and Cai.

"I, I" Chen Zifu looked at Cai Shi and then at Mrs. Chen, and his voice was like a mosquito, "I listen to my mother." ”

Cai's face was full of disappointment, she was looking forward to separating the family.

Cai's talent is strong in front of Chen Zifu, but in front of Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen, she still has to listen to men in everything.

Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Where's the fourth." Old Man Chen asked.

"No separation. What to divide the family. Zhang spoke, "I discussed with the head of the family, and I will not leave my father and mother alone." ”

The four-room couple has been anxious since they heard about the separation, one of them is lazy and the other is greedy, if they are separated, they don't know what they can do. Although relying on the second elder to live, sometimes it is inevitable to be angry, but you don't have to worry about food and clothing, if you live by yourself, you have to worry too much.

"Since they don't want to break up." Old Man Chen automatically ignored Li's words, "Then let's live together." In the future, everyone must be united, and you must not fight in the nest, you are brothers. To respect the eldest sister-in-law and respect the dà brother is. "It seems that the purpose of Old Man Chen to gather everyone is not to divide the family, but to knock on the attitude of each room towards the big house, in other words, it is for the tranquility of the family house and ease the relationship between the other rooms and the big house led by Mrs. Chen.

Chen Xuejiao was extremely disappointed.

"Dad, I have something to say." Lee stood up.

"The eldest daughter-in-law." Old Man Chen raised his voice.

"The daughter-in-law is not filial, and she invites her father to talk outside." Li looked at Old Man Chen with a firm gaze.

Old Man Chen's eyes were complicated, he thought about it for a while, and got off the kang.

"Daddy. You have also seen the situation of our family, and theoretically speaking, it is not my daughter-in-law who should ask. But Qi An's father was lying on the bed again. Our family has a small quarrel every five days and a big quarrel every ten days. After a long time, the life of each room is uneasy, and it is inevitable that there will be contradictions in the cracks, and the family will be restless. Qi An's father lost his body again, and he couldn't go to the private school for a while, and he didn't know what it was like in the future, so he didn't feel good about dragging everyone down. This person, when he feels bad in his heart, he will think crankily, can it be good for the body? Li Shi said something of his own, "So, Dad, you are in charge of separating us, and I will take a few children to live and take care of Qi'an and his father." We're just separated, it's not that we don't get along anymore, we're still a family, but we don't eat in the same pot. ”

Lee's eyes moistened.

Her words were subtle, Chen Xiucai lost his body, and his family had trouble in three days, which was not conducive to his physical development. How can Old Man Chen, who has experienced so many years of ups and downs, not hear this.

"You've got it all figured out." Old man Chen couldn't bear it, and his face was ashamed, "The boss is not in good health, if you fall ill, you will take the child ......"

Li hurriedly added: "When the time comes, Dad will help me." ”

In the middle, Mrs. Chen sat on the kang with her eyes like a torch.

"Why does the sister-in-law have so many things, if you want to divide it, you only divide the big house, they have a lot of things, and the eldest brother is injured and how much silver does it cost the public." Zhang said quickly.

"Fourth aunt, what you said is too mean, and the silver in the public does not have my father's share? All the money my dad had for the restaurant went to that black box. Chen Xuejiao pointed to the black box on Mrs. Chen's kang head and refuted Zhang's disdainfully.

Speaking of the money from the museum, Chen Xuejiao suddenly blessed her soul. Mrs. Chen hates the big house family so much, why is she unhappy when the Li family proposes to divide the big house, in addition to the fact that she can restrain the Li family at any time, the biggest reason is that dividing the big house is equivalent to dividing the money that Chen Xiucai sits in. This is a lot of income for the villagers, and if it is divided, it is tantamount to cutting the flesh of Mrs. Chen.

Chen Xuejiao's mind turned and she had a plan.

Li and Old Man Chen walked in, Li looked relaxed, and Old Man Chen's eyes were gloomy. Chen Xuejiao knew that the Li family had persuaded Old Man Chen.

Sure enough, Old Man Chen spoke: "...... I'm going to divide the big house and go alone. ”

Mrs. Chen was excited: "I haven't died yet, I have to split up, what kind of truth is this." ”

Chen Xuejiao looked at Li, and Li smiled helplessly.

As soon as Old Man Chen wanted to speak, Chen Xuejiao cried: "Divide us out, why?" My father's body is not good yet, the last time Lang Zhong said that my father is unlikely to sit in the museum in the future, and there will be no silver in the future. ”

Li suddenly understood what Xue Jiao meant.

Old Man Chen's eyes were dim, so he couldn't bear to split up, but thinking about what Li said, he had to be ruthless, or make more compensation to the boss in the future.

Old Mrs. Chen listened to Xue Jiao's words and glanced at Zhao. In this way, the boss's body is not complete, and he will not be able to sit in the restaurant in the future, so he will be an idle eater.

"Xuejiao, you give me back, your father's body has a problem, he can't sit in the hall in the future, let alone go to the ground, and he won't be raised by the public middle school in the future." Zhang grabbed the handle and let out a fierce breath.

"Mother, I thought about it, I don't want to drag everyone down." Lee choked.

Mrs. Chen sat on the kang and said nothing, this is the default separation.

There must be a charter for the division of the family, and the pots and pans, silver, and land in the family must be well summed up, and it is estimated that it will be until tomorrow.

Zhao opened his mouth with a smile: "The eldest brother's injury has not healed yet, it is estimated that there will be students and relatives to take a look in the past few days, if the family is separated at this juncture, people will not be able to say that our family is mean." Besides, there are so many people who are sick, how can my sister-in-law entertain her. ”

Mrs. Chen heard this and came back to her senses. Yes, the boss was injured, and his students had to bring heavy gifts to see him, and if the family was separated, wouldn't the ceremony fall into the mouth of the big house.

"The second daughter-in-law is right, let's split up in five days." Mrs. Chen gave the order.

is so finely scraped, Chen Xuejiao's eyes looking at Zhao are full of sarcasm, you can also figure this thing, it is too vicious.

Zhao's heart suddenly burst into Shang Xuejiao's gaze. (To be continued)
