sent off the grandmother's family, and the mother returned home in the sunset.

Chen Xuejiao's children knew that the Li family was reluctant to give up their mother's family, and tried their best to tell jokes on the way back to dispel Li's sadness. Li knew the intentions of the children, suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and smiled kindly.

Wang Jinghao stayed at home to decoct the medicine for Jinghao, and Li took the children to the courtyard, where Jing had just decocted the medicine.

Li personally served it, carefully blew it cold, tasted it until it was no longer hot, and then brought it into the house to feed Chen Xiu before drinking.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law went back?" Chen Xiucai drank the medicine, had strength in his body, and asked Li gently.

"When I went back, my father and mother instructed me to let you take care of your injuries, and gave you five taels of silver to catch medicine." Li smiled heartily.

"How to collect their money, it is not easy for people in the township to save two money, their family has a large population, and there are places to spend money everywhere, so let's send it back tomorrow." Chen Xiucai said with a deep groan.

Chen Xiucai sits in the museum and takes home twenty taels of silver every year to hand over to the public middle school, usually himself, the Li family and a few children have never asked for a big house, Rao is like this, Chen Xiucai still thinks that it is a normal thing to divide the family without getting the silver, and at this time he can't accept the Yue family's money.

Xue Jiao smiled coquettishly: "Dad, I am the master of this money, which is equivalent to borrowing from my grandmother's house, and it will be the same if I have money in the future." ”

Chen Xiucai heard this, and he didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

So when it came to the matter of the separation, because everyone was very busy all day, and Mrs. Li had been talking to the Li family, Chen Xiucai had no time to ask about the separation.

When the family was separated, Qi An participated in the process of dividing the family on behalf of Dafang, and he listed how to negotiate, how to divide the land, how to divide the house, etc. to Chen Xiucai.

"An'er has grown up." Chen Xiucai's eyes were full of relief when he looked at Qi An.

Qi An was stunned, and since he entered a private school to study, Chen Xiucai mostly talked to him as a gentleman. It's rare to praise him so much. Immediately, he smiled, and his smile was as bright as a spring breeze.

"Finally separated." Chen Xiucai's tone was stunned.

Chen Xuejiao knows that it is unfilial piety to divide the family in this era, and generally the parents are the masters of the family, and they divide their sons except for the eldest son, and the parents live with the eldest son. But in the Chen family, it is the opposite, I don't know how many people want to chew the root of their tongues again. Whether it is chewing the tongue root of the big house or chewing the tongue root of the second elder, it is always the Chen family who loses face outside.

Chen Xiucai's sorrow is justified.

However, there is no way around it.

"Although my body is fine, if I want to sit in the museum, I am afraid it will take a long time, and this day will be more difficult in terms of money." Chen Xiucai sighed.

"There was no money in the past, and they lived the same." Lee's comfort.

"Daddy. I am not afraid of no silver, but I am afraid of not having the heart to live. I have heard people say that the virtuous have more wealth and more damage to their wisdom, and the foolish have more wealth and increase their faults. Daddy's wealth is not considered wealth. What's more, my mother and our children are not unbearable. Chen Xuejiao broke the truth.

In the upper room, Mrs. Chen sat on the kang with a dark cloud on her face. Thinking of Mrs. Li's words, I felt a chill, and I couldn't wait to call Li over and scold him.

Say me in front of many grandchildren and daughters-in-law. It's the first time I've been so embarrassed at my age. I think that in order to let the daughter with Kefu's reputation marry into my family, how many good things did you say to the middleman, and how many dowries were given, I bah, and now the person is five or six of them for me.

The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more angry she became, and asked the Zhao family to go to the north wing room to call the Li family over.

"What are you doing?" Old Man Chen saw that Mrs. Chen's signs were wrong. Speak out.

"Go and call me the eldest daughter-in-law. Today, her mother came to me and said a lot of things, I didn't know that the married girl couldn't stand the anger of her mother-in-law at all, and there was such a reason. Old Mrs. Chen ignored Old Man Chen and instructed the Zhao family to take care of herself.

Zhao stood still. A smile overflowed his face.

"Regardless of whether what my mother says is reasonable or not, people come to the door and are guests, so you have to listen. We haven't separated at noon, we haven't separated from each other, and we eat in a pot without separation, why don't you go and cook? Or the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Luo, can her mother look at it without being cold, can she not talk about it? Old Man Chen finished smoking his cigarette pouch and knocked the cigarette ash the table leg.

"Marrying into the Chen family is the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, what's wrong with the daughter-in-law cooking, she can be tired. You didn't see her mother like that, she pulled me to wipe her tears, one by one I ruined her daughter, how did I spoil it, isn't her daughter good? "Mrs. Chen is right.

"You give them so many things, have you thought about your other three sons? The whole family has the eldest daughter-in-law to contribute, and the others have not? The child belongs to his family the most, eats the most, and succumbs to her to death if he does some work, so he can give so many things? My chicken isn't the chick I paid for? You are generous, and your mouth is five. ”

The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more unwilling she became, okay, you Li family, just mentioned the separation of the family, you called your mother's family here, you are clearly in the ring for me. What's wrong with the separation, you are still my daughter-in-law when you are separated, and I will still clamp you down.

Angry, he was about to take Li's Liwei: "Xue Miao, you go and call her to me, just say that I have something to ask her." ”

This she naturally refers to the Li family, Chen Xuemiao was about to go to the North Wing after getting off the kang, and was dragged by the Zhao family.

"Mother, the family is divided, it's useless for you to be angry, they may want you to be angry, you are angry, who is the most proud?" Zhao persuaded with a smile.

Hearing this, Old Man Chen frowned: "What's the trouble, it's not a family, it's a family, it's endless." ”

Old Man Chen's voice was full of anger, and Old Lady Chen was silent.

"Mother," Zhao whispered close to the old lady's ear, "...... Grinding her is from the beginning, not at this moment. I listened to the sister-in-law's mother complaining that Wen Yan had mixed with the sister-in-law back then, and the first girl didn't have it, so if they talk about this, although it is a shadowless thing, but it is not good. ”

Zhao's heart was tangled up all day today, lest Mrs. Li bring up this matter again.

Back then, it was she who provoked Wenyan to give the Li family a stumbling block, so she was afraid that the Li family would give birth to her eldest grandson and steal her limelight. At that time, the Li family didn't mention it, and the mother's family didn't mention it, thinking that Wen Yan, a boudoir girl, was ignorant and accidentally tripped over the Li family. Who knew that more than ten years had passed, and Mrs. Li suddenly mentioned it, and she suspected that Wen Yan was deliberate. I don't know how much the Dafang family knows. In case this thing comes out, Wen Yan is a mouthful of a doorless, and she is not as innocent as she was a girl before, so she will inevitably be dug out. Wen Yan's married daughter is okay to say that the Chen family can't move her, but the Zhao family is different. In case the ancestral hall is opened, she will only have to be suspended.

Zhao's mind turned a few times.

When they are separated, they will eat their own food. In the past, without waiting for Mrs. Chen's instructions, Li took the initiative to take on the task of cooking, and every time he ate, he pinched the meal and ordered it on time. After splitting the family, Mrs. Chen reassigned the cooking work to her three daughters-in-law, and even the big-bellied Cai did not pull down.

Zhao's heart ache and mouth attack again, it is inconvenient to cook, Cai's is tired from cooking two meals in a row, and Zhang's is lazy and slippery, and often can't find anyone at the meal.

The big house and the rest of the rooms share a pot house. Li was diligent, and a few children took a hand and quickly prepared the meal. And when the meal arrives in the upper room, it is still a cold pot and a cold stove, which is like a life together, no one needs to worry about hot meals and hot dishes, Mrs. Chen glanced at the pot house several times and wanted to scold.

The three daughters-in-law didn't fight for themselves, so they had to cook a meal by themselves.

On the night of the big house, Grandma Xianglian gave a bag of white noodles. plus a bag of white noodles given by Li's mother's family, it is enough to eat for two months. In this way, there is no need to go to the house to get grain and grind noodles. Although Cai's maintained a neutral attitude in this separation, he still asked Xuewa to quietly send two bottles of sesame oil in the evening.

When dividing the family, it is stipulated that the vegetable house in the yard can be picked and eaten at will, and the cabbage in autumn has grown out, and the cabbage at this time has not yet formed a ball, whether it is a pie or a dumpling, it is the best.

this day. Dafang wanted to eat pancakes, Chen Xuejiao walked into the vegetable garden and picked two small cabbages, and chose two white and green ones, the pies made of such cabbage were the most delicious.

Mrs. Chen watched the movement in the yard through the window of the upper room and saw Xue Jiao picking two cabbages. I don't have to worry about it.

Chen Xuemiao shouted through the window: "The cabbage is ours, and you have already divided it." Shameless, pick our vegetables. ”

Chen Xuejiao became angry when she heard this, and fought back lightly: "It's all written in the paperwork, and this vegetable garden also has our share." If you are Chen Xuemiao in this vegetable garden, why don't you see you watering and fertilizing. He deliberately shouted in a voice that Zhao could hear in the room, "Sister Xue Miao said that who is shameless, why didn't she rinse her mouth when she got up early in the morning, the second aunt has to take care of it, fortunately it is at home, if you go out and say such things, you can only lose the face of the Chen family." ”

Zhao naturally heard this in the house, and knew that Xue Jiao was talking to himself, and he hated Xue Jiao in his heart.

Chen Xuejiao is not afraid, if she is afraid, she will not say this.

Chen Xue turned around and entered the inner room angrily.

Mrs. Chen is wilted, not as nagging as before, her previous nagging was all for the Li family, and now that the Li family is divided, she doesn't care about her three meals a day, she seems to have one less opponent in her life, and she is lifeless.

Old Mrs. Chen listened to Xue Jiao's words, but she didn't scold her.

Chen Xuejiao squatted next to the well in the yard to wash cabbage, and Wang Jing pressed the water. This well is more than 20 meters deep, taken from the natural spring water underground, it has the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer, the water in late autumn is pressed out, it is cool and cool with a sweet taste, Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but take a sip while washing cabbage.

Today, it was Cai's turn to cook, and Cai's got up early and felt uncomfortable. Chen Zifu couldn't stand it, so he took Xuewa into the pot house to cook instead of Cai's.

"Sister-in-law, Xuewa's mother is uncomfortable, when will you cook, I can use the stove to cook." Chen Zifu stood at the door of the pot house and said to the Li family.

"The third brother and sister are uncomfortable, it doesn't matter, this pregnant person just can't work." Li's face was concerned, and at the same time, he was relieved that Chen Zifu did not defend Cai's personal cooking.

Chen Zifu thought that her sister-in-law was honest, she thought that others couldn't work when they were pregnant, and she was pregnant with her second sister-in-law back then, and she still did the work without complaining.

Thinking of this, Chen Zifu's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Li.

Mrs. Chen heard someone talking in the pot house, walked to the door with her little feet, and opened the curtain to see that it was Chen Zifu who ran into the pot house with Xuewa.

Her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth, which she couldn't find these days, were blistering, well, she finally got her chance this time. (To be continued......)
