Chapter XXVII
"Yes." Song Ruhai and Song Wang nodded.
"Since this is the case, then sort out the dowry of Wenxiang's daughter-in-law, and the belongings will not be distributed to others, and the dowry will always be returned to others." Patriarch Song took a sip of tea.
"What? Didn't you say that there is no division of property? Song Wang suddenly jumped up.
The patriarch glanced at her with disdain, and then spoke: "It is true that the family property is not divided, but it is someone's dowry, can you still defile your daughter-in-law's dowry?" ”
"Marrying into my Song family's door, it is naturally my Song family's things, why should I give it to her?" Song Wang shouted disobediently.
"Ruhai daughter-in-law, you are so stubborn, how do you let Wenxiang's daughter-in-law live? Don't say that she is still pregnant with your family's eldest grandson, and besides, people just want their own dowry, which is the Shen family's thing, and you must return it whether you want it or not. "Patriarch Song is depressed, he has never seen such an unreasonable person.
"That's still a dowry from my family, why don't you say it." The Song Wang's death was entangled.
Patriarch Song had a headache, and then glared at Song Ruhai: "You are also your daughter-in-law?" ”
Song Ruhai simply didn't speak, and drank tea quietly.
When the Song patriarch saw it, he was so angry that he almost threw the teacup in his hand at Song Ruhai, but he had admonished him for a long time before, and he didn't listen to half a sentence of daring this kid.
"Whether you agree or not, this dowry is to be returned to the Shen family, if you refuse to return it, the Shen family can go to the government to sue you, but I am afraid that it will not be a dowry matter at that time." Patriarch Song said.
"What, you want to sue us? Why? She and the Shen family dare to break up, so we dare to divorce her. Song Wang shouted.
"That's better, the dowry will be returned to the Shen family a lot." Patriarch Song sneered twice.
Song Wang's family choked, it was really like this, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Grandnephew and daughter-in-law, where is your mother?" Patriarch Song found out that Shen Zhao was not there, so he asked.
"**Grandpa, my mother went back to call me dad, and by the way, I brought the dowry list over to a pair." Shen Lanwenwen replied quietly.
Comparing the attitudes of the two sides, the Song patriarch is a little eccentric, if it weren't for Song Ruhai being a member of the Song family, he wouldn't be too lazy to care about his family's bad things, then the Song Wang family has not been a good stubble since he was young, if it weren't for her, maybe his old sister-in-law would have lived a few more years, but now he is majestic on the daughter-in-law's head, and he doesn't want to think about how he treated his mother-in-law at the beginning, and this Shen family girl is kind, so she was ridden on the head by this evil woman.
"Since this is the case, then wait for the in-laws to come over and then divide the family, in addition, grandnephew and daughter-in-law, as for the matter of the house, it is just a little difficult to do at this time, if you don't dislike it, it is better to move to the house of the seventh wife first, what do you think?" Patriarch Song asked.
The seventh wife is a lonely widow in the village, has been dead for many years, her house is naturally empty, and now it is also considered the industry of the clan, it is said that as long as someone is willing to pay, the house can be sold, but the house is not very clean, this topic naturally has to talk about the seventh wife, the seventh wife lost her husband in her early years, originally had a son, but she did not come back from the army, the seventh wife cried so blind that her eyes were blind, and then the seventh woman became a lonely widow, relying on the clan to save her life.
After all, the seventh wife is old, and then she doesn't often go out of the house, the clan arranged for someone to bring her food, who knows that once the person who brought her food entered the house, it turned out that the seventh lady had been out of breath for a long time, and the body was bitten by rats, the clan came forward to bury the seventh wife, and naturally took back her house, who knew that since then it has been rumored that the seventh wife's house is haunted, and the old lady's cry is often heard at night, so the house is idle.
Patriarch Song originally didn't want to give this house to Shen Lan to live in, because Shen Lan was a woman after all, and it was taboo to be pregnant, but Song Jiahe gave Shen Lan to live in, and he didn't want Shen Lan's money, anyway, the house was idle and idle, so why not do something good and let Shen Lan live.
As for those superstitious things, Song Jiahe was born as a scholar after all, so he naturally didn't say anything, but felt that he was just using such an excuse to help Shen Lan, so that Shen Lan would not even have a place to live, and he would have to spend his dowry to gain a foothold in the village.
Shen Lan didn't know anything about the Seventh Wife, but since the patriarch said to let her move over, she naturally had nothing to say, so she nodded yes.
In this way, when it was noon, Shen Xiaoquan and his wife came with their son, and when they met, Shen Xiaoquan first apologized to the patriarch, and then took a red dowry list out of his arms.
"The patriarch of the family, this is my little daughter's dowry, now that you have presided over the division between the little girl and her in-laws, then take a closer look, since the little girl doesn't want to ask for a penny from his family, then don't want it, but this dowry is my Shen family's, and it is to be passed on to my nephew and niece, but it can't be taken by others." Shen Xiaoquan handed over the dowry list and said what he meant, he still knew more or less about the Song family's personality in his heart.
Patriarch Song nodded, thinking that Shen Zhao should have mentioned it to Shen Xiaoquan, and seeing that Shen Xiaoquan did not ask too much, Patriarch Song was still very pleased.
The Song Wang family naturally didn't want to give it, but at this moment, the appearance of the Shen family, as well as the bright red dowry list, no matter how much she made trouble, she was afraid that it would not work, and the patriarch was in front of her, she was afraid that she would be punished if she made too much trouble, so even if she was unwilling, she could only bow her head and admit it.
"Since there is no objection from both sides, He'er will submit the separation paperwork." Patriarch Song said in a deep voice.
So Song Jiahe took out the separation documents that he had written before, mainly because Shen Lan had said before that he didn't want the Song family to have a penny, and there should be no objection to the Song family in the family property, since the most controversial parts have been dealt with, then the documents are naturally easy to write, so Song Jiahe had already drafted most of the documents last night.
At this time, only some details need to be added, so Song Jiahe submitted the family separation documents, and the patriarch signaled him to read the documents again, so Song Jiahe read the documents in front of the two families, which roughly means that the eldest son will be analyzed out of the house, and the eldest son and his children are not qualified to inherit the family property, as for the maintenance matters, because the eldest son is out of the house, naturally he does not bear the responsibility of support, but if the parents encounter illness and funeral, the eldest son still needs to be out of the molecule, etc., in short, Song Jiahe read for most of the day to finish the document, Shen Lan is a bunch of people, and she can barely understand.
But everyone else was confused, after all, neither the Shen and Song families had ever studied, so this document was naturally foggy, but Song Jiahe still explained roughly, and finally the two families could understand.
"No, how can you save maintenance matters, Wen Xiang is the eldest son." Song Ruhai Road.
"Since you don't agree, then divide the family wealth equally, not to mention that Wen Xiang is not at home, Wen Xiang's daughter-in-law is a woman with a child, and she is already difficult to protect herself, how can she support you?" The patriarch really can't see it, isn't it the dowry of the red family? I don't want to think about being untouched, and I want to pull a lump out of someone's body, this person is so much, he is simply ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors.
As soon as the patriarch opened his mouth, Song Ruhai shut up, but he was unconvinced when he saw that expression, and the Song Wang family on the side cried: "We raised Xiang'er so big, just hoping that he would provide for us to provide for the elderly, and now if we don't support the elderly, wouldn't it be in vain?" ”
"Mother-in-law, you are Song Wenxiang who raised your family, but you have never raised my Lan Niang, but your Song Wenxiang went to military service for a large family, why did he raise it in vain?" Shen Zhao retorted.
"Shen is still my son's daughter-in-law, so naturally she wants to replace my son to support my old age." Song Wang's bite to support the elderly, just wanted to pit Shen Lan for a dowry.
"You are so black-hearted, your son has joined the army, and now your daughter-in-law is pregnant, you don't say that you love her, but you also want to covet her dowry, you are forcing your son to cut off the incense, how can there be such a ruthless mother in the world, is Song Wenxiang your biological son?" Shen Zhao was aggressive.
Song Wang choked.
"Mother-in-law, how do you want your daughter-in-law to support your in-laws?" Shen Lan said slowly.
"Every morning and dusk, I help with household chores and cultivate the farmland." Song Wangshi said it smoothly.
"You ......"
"Then why split up again?" Shen Lan was the first to speak, and then continued: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law was injured before, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of money to take medicine and see a doctor in the following days, and seeing that the child is about to be born, the daughter-in-law also needs to ask a midwife to spend money, and the daughter-in-law has to raise her body when she gives birth to a child, so she has to eat some eggs, fish soup and chicken soup, but I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money. If you don't want to die twice, you have to recuperate before the child is born, and the daughter-in-law has felt some pain in her stomach since just now, and I don't know if she has done too much housework today. ”
"Lan Niang, what did you say? Didn't your uncle say that you weren't allowed to work until your body was well raised, and your mother just left for a morning, and your mother-in-law assigned you housework? Shen Zhao asked in a panic, looking at Shen Lan nervously.
Shen Lan didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Zhao soothingly, and then looked at Song Wang's family fixedly.
Over there, the Song Wang clan just heard half of it and couldn't wait to smack Shen Lan's face, if it weren't for the patriarch's presence, she would have scolded her, and finally waited for Shen Lan to finish speaking and shouted: "Divide the family, split the family, this is a loser, you have to seek medical advice for a little injury, our family is still really unable to raise it, since your Shen family is dead and wants to split up, then split the family, just wait until my son returns, see what face you have to face him." ”
Hearing that the Song Wang clan was directly shouting about the separation, Shen Lan's goal was also achieved, and this was naturally not the time to argue with the Song Wang clan, and the more quiet and obedient she was, the more she could win impression points in front of the old patriarch.
