Chapter 72: Negotiation
Early the next morning, Chen Xuejiao watched Old Man Chen go to the ground, and saw an opportunity to get into the upper room.
She wanted to talk to Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen knew that it was an ironclad matter for the big house to be separated, and she was not in a good mood, but it happened that the breakfast made by Zhang's was not to her liking, so she was angry and sprinkled her anger on Zhang's.
When Xue Jiao entered, Mrs. Chen was scolding Zhang, and Zhang didn't care about it, so she sat on the kang and whispered something to Zhao.
Seeing Chen Xuejiao come in, Zhao greeted with a smile: "Why does Xuejiao have time to come to the room today." ”
Zhao's smile was very fake, like a layer of flour pasted on his face, Xue Jiao smiled faintly: "I'll come to see my milk." ”
When Mrs. Chen saw Chen Xuejiao come in, she stopped scolding.
Chen Xuejiao wanted to let the Zhao family and the Zhang family avoid it, she wanted to fight for the family property for her family, for fear that the Zhao family and the Zhang family would interfere with it.
"Milk, I want to say a few words to you." Chen Xuejiao glanced at Zhang and Zhao.
"What's the matter?" Old Madam Chen snorted disdainfully.
"About the separation." Chen Xuejiao got straight to the point.
The Zhao family and the Zhang family sat still, and Mrs. Chen didn't mean to let them avoid it, so they could only see the move.
"In two days, our family will be divided into singles, milk, I just want to ask what our family can get?" Chen Xuejiao went straight to the point.
"You ask me what I'm doing, hasn't your mother discussed it with your father?" When Mrs. Chen thought of dividing the boss, she was not happy. First of all, Mrs. Chen was afraid that she would not be able to study the Li family at will in the future, and secondly, she was worried that if Chen Xiucai got better, the money she earned by going to the hall would no longer belong to her.
"My mother and my grandfather only discussed dividing our family, but they didn't say what things to give us." Chen Xuejiao said, "Whoever doesn't know what to do has to discuss with grandma, in case grandma insists on her own ideas, grandpa can't bear it." ”
Mrs. Chen didn't speak.
Zhao smiled and said, "Xue Jiao." This division is all an adult's business, how can there be a place for children to interject. ”
"I was a part of the family when I was young, didn't I? Besides, our family is still in charge of grandma, and the separation of the family is a matter between our big house and grandma. Xue Jiao unceremoniously pushed back, meaning that there was nothing to do with your Zhao family, while standing.
"Milk, my dad is still a showman no matter what. He is also a well-known person in our ten miles and eight towns. Now that we're almost dead, we're going to break up. If there is a rumor coming out, then there is a good thing in the heart, and it will only say that it is difficult for the stepmother to do, and there is no success in the heart, but it will only say that our family is mean to our own family, and even the good or bad of our son has to fight. Chen Xuejiao said leisurely, "Everyone knows that milk is the stepmother, and it is not easy for milk to have milk." For the sake of the Chen family, after saying a few words for the big house in front of the master. ”
"What do you want?" Old Mrs. Chen came back to her senses and asked sharply.
"I just want to talk to my grandmother, please be fair when you divide the family, and everything that should be from our family will be divided into our family." Chen Xuejiao looked at Mrs. Chen with clear eyes. "We live in the north wing room, we are divided into three acres of land, my father sits in the hall every year fifteen to twenty taels of silver, so many years there are hundreds of taels, you give us fifty taels, last time the second uncle was beaten my mother's hairpin exchanged for three taels of silver. The brothers should help each other, it depends on the heart of the second uncle's family. ”
Zhao listened to this. His face changed a few times. Zhang originally wanted to step forward to stab Xuejiao a few words, and sell it in front of Mrs. Chen, but he didn't dare to open his mouth at this time.
"You want fifty taels of silver?" Old Madam Chen's eyes widened.
"My father has given the family more than this silver over the years, Brother Qi Lin spent a lot of money to study at the White Horse Academy, I heard that the rice paper for writing is 500 yuan a piece, and my brother is also a descendant of the Chen family. Reading is no worse than Brother Qi Lin, and these fifty taels of silver are for my brother to study. The second uncle's family almost changed my parents, if this matter spreads outside, the milk will inevitably be chewed on the root of the tongue, and Brother Qi Lin will have any face in the future. It's impossible for Xue Yao and Sister Xue Miao to marry a good family. ”
These words not only slapped Mrs. Chen, but also blocked Zhao's bad mouth when they split up.
"Xuejiao, you dead girl, you are bold, dare to scare me." Mrs. Chen's heart is weak.
"Milk, I don't dare scare you. I just want the milk to give us what should be given to us when the family is divided, and I don't want more. Chen Xuejiao looked at Mrs. Chen without blinking.
Mrs. Chen's heart was empty.
Seeing this momentum, Mrs. Chen was angry with herself, and ran away. Xue Jiao's words involved the Zhao family, and she didn't dare to come forward and say a few words.
"Who told you to come to the room and chew maggots in front of me, your father or mother?"
"My father and mother don't have that heart or that kung fu, I thought about it myself. Ever since I was milked and wanted to change my parents, I understood in my heart that I couldn't be as honest as my father and mother, and I was bullied by others. I'm a person who has died once, I don't run anything, if anyone bullies me and bullies my father, don't blame me for turning my face with him. Chen Xue said calmly.
Mrs. Chen and Zhao were suppressed by her beating momentum.
"By the way, second aunt, Sister Xue Yao is still waiting to be stationed in Ding Mansion, and Brother Qi Lin also wants to have a future. I don't want to do anything, just want our family to be able to go out and go out alone, and ask the second aunt to persuade the milk more. Chen Xuejiao smiled at Zhao.
Zhao's heart was cold.
Chen Xuejiao lifted the curtain and walked out of the upper room.
The courtyard was lively, and it turned out that Chen Xiucai's students had come to visit the family. Chen Qi'an was entertaining outside, and Chen Xueru was busy serving tea and pouring water.
The neighbors in the township know everything at home. The students' families knew that Mrs. Chen was mean to the big house, so they didn't go to the room, and the fabrics, supplements and other things they brought were directly carried into the north wing.
The parents of the students really respect Chen Xiucai, and seeing that Li is so busy, they don't want to eat and go back.
The news that the Chen family was going to divide the big house and pass it alone spread, and some parents of the students couldn't help but sympathize when they went out, saying that Mrs. Chen was mean and the second room was crowded.
In this way, when the family is separated, the big house has already taken advantage of public opinion, of course, this is a later story.
Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang also came, and Chen Xiucai broke away from the Li family and the child, and talked to the two sons.
"Master Chen, every qiē is the fault of the little nephew, and you have suffered so much." Gu Siyuan said with a clear gaze.
"I'm really sorry that you didn't come to see you immediately when you woke up, just because you had something important to do." It's the first time that Huang Saburo has said sorry to someone.
Chen Xiucai was silent for a long time, and suddenly he was about to struggle to get up.
"The grass people have seen the crown prince, Gu Gongzi."
Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang were shocked, and Chen Xiucai unexpectedly discovered their identities.
……
After a cup of tea, the two sons came out, saying that they had something to do and rushed to Xuzhou Mansion, and gave Li a bag of silver, but Li politely refused.
Zhao Yiming's mother, Zhou, came home for the first time, brought white-flour eggs, and took Li's hand to comfort her. Chen Xuejiao originally thought that Zhao Yiming's father was sick and his family was poor, and Xu must be a sad middle-aged woman, but she didn't expect to be a very refreshing person.
Han Xingjian's family also came, except for the Han shopkeeper who did not arrive, Mrs. Han, Zhou's, and Bi Tao all came, in addition to bringing ginseng and medicinal herbs, they also brought a pot of soft-shelled turtle soup stewed by Master Miao to nourish Chen Xiucai's body.
Li greeted them and stayed for dinner, everyone saw that the family was so busy, and said that next time they came, it would not be bad for this meal.
Mrs. Han went to the upper room and talked to Mrs. Chen.
"I've heard that you're going to split it out and live alone, so that's fine. My mother-in-law talked to your mother-in-law just to make it too ugly when the family was separated. Zhou quietly gave Li an ear.
The Han family is also from Maoshan Village, but the Han shopkeeper has a chance, opens a restaurant, and moves to the town to live. Because of her hardships and hard work, Mrs. Han pulled her son to earn a family business, and even if they moved away, the people of Maoshan Village would give them some affection.
Li is grateful to Mrs. Han.
After Zhao Yiming's mother and the Han family left, Chen Xuejiao and Chen Xueru decocted Chen Xiucai in the pot house.
I heard Mrs. Chen scolding through the window: "The rescuers have been moved, thinking that I am afraid of you." Who doesn't know that I'm a stepmother, I just die before you are willing. ”
It's just that the scolding is not sprinkled.
In previous years, every year during the New Year's holidays, students would come to the house to pay respects to things, and without exception, they were all received by Mrs. Chen. And this time, the students came to see Chen Xiucai and brought all the things into the north wing.
Mrs. Chen's liver hurt angrily, and she had no way to get angry.
Chen Xuejiao thought, it seems that her words still have a deterrent effect.
The sky was overcast, and the north wind blew in late autumn, and at dusk it began to rain lightly.
Old Man Chen invited the village in the rain, Xianglian's father and other people with high reputation in the village, everyone sat together to discuss the matter of dividing the family, and the shopkeeper Han came uninvited, and just about to cut to the point, Master Qin actually came.
The Chen family only divided the big house, and it was the first time for the village to deal with such a division of affairs. Now, Chen Xiucai is lying on the bed injured, whether he can sit in the museum in the future is still two words, and the children are still young. Everyone is in the same village, looking up and not looking down, plus Mrs. Chen is the stepmother, some unpleasant words came out. Several people here know well and know the situation of the Chen family, they all respect Chen Xiucai and the Li family, and they all want to fight for Chen Xiucai's family property.
Especially food, Cunzheng thought in his heart, seeing that winter is coming, if there is no food, Chen Xiucai's family will wait to drink the northwest wind.
“…… Please come today. Old man Chen's eye bags were twitching, and he didn't know how to speak, after all, the family only separated the eldest son's family, and he didn't look good.
Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qiping listened with the curtains, and suddenly there was the sound of cars and horses outside the door, and several people came down from Hulala, including old people and children.
Chen Qiping shouted excitedly: "Grandpa is here, uncle is here." ”
The people in the house stopped talking when they heard Qi Ping's shout, and Old Man Chen stood up, lifted the curtain and went out. (To be continued......)
