Chapter Seventy-Four: Liquidation
Dong Xiaoman was in a very bad mood, watching Erlang invite the village chief and several respected old people in the village to his home, and then beckoned Old Man Zhang and Dalang Saburo to his house.
briefly said a few points: First, I became a strong man, and I don't know what year and month I can go home and ask everyone to help take care of my wife and children. Second, if there is any accident, I also ask the village chief and my parents to be a witness, and all the property in the family has been handed over to Dong Xiaoman to take charge. If the child in the womb is still a daughter, then in the future, choose one of the two daughters.
Originally, everyone could understand the former, but the latter one is difficult to explain. If you don't have a son, it means that you are out of business, but isn't it very troublesome to recruit money later?
Da Lang listened to it with a blue face and a white face, thinking that he was still in a hurry to say that he would pass the child to others, but people told you clearly, I am a desperate family and will not let you take advantage of me.
But everyone went back and thought about it and realized that such things had not happened in the village. It is not uncommon for a widow to take over a child from a relative, and when the child grows up, she does not care about the adoptive parents but the biological parents, and finally seizes other people's property and drives the adoptive mother out of the country.
Jiro was able to take this matter into account, so it can be seen that he did it just in case he explained what happened. As a father, Mr. Zhang was very sad in his heart.
Since ancient times, it has been the saddest thing for parents to send white-haired people to black-haired people, but what is even more sad is the moment when their children leave their last words before they die.
Old Man Zhang also understood in his heart that Erlang was completely cold in his heart, afraid that if he didn't have Dalang Sanlang, he would divide his land and let his wife and children beg along the street.
But. But I'm your own father, even if you don't believe me. Haven't you thought that Dong Xiaoman will remarry with your property? On that day, Dong Xiaoman regarded the Zhang family's property as his dowry.
Dong Xiaoman also asked this question. Erlang's answer was: "If I still believe in Huanhuan's dowry, you should remarry as a dowry?" I don't believe it! ”
Dong Xiaoman asked, "What if I really remarry?" ”
Erlang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had never thought about this question and couldn't help but be stunned. After a long time, he sighed and said, "If there is really that day." Marry and marry. If I'm really so useless that I can't save my life, you girls will be guilty. ”
Erlang's expression when he said this, Dong Xiaoman will never forget it in his life. What kind of expression is that?
Helpless, desperate, self-deprecating, sad but confident. Yes, self-confidence. Erlang never felt that he would not be able to save his life, he was desperate to come back.
At this point, Dong Xiaoman just didn't want to make any more trouble, sighed faintly, and then gritted his teeth and said resentfully: "I tell you, if you dare to die, I will remarry." I'll let other men spend your money. Live in your house, beat your children, sleep with your wife. ”
As soon as the words came out, Erlang subconsciously tensed up, and suddenly reached out to pull Dong Xiaoman closer to his arms, holding him tightly and not letting go.
Seeing the little couple like this, Dong's mother quietly closed the door and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, preparing to make a good meal for Erlang.
Before the fire was lit, he heard a clanging knock on the door, and Dong Xiaogang went to see that the person was Mrs. Zhang with an angry face.
Mrs. Zhang made a detour to the backyard and entered the house like a gust of wind, and when she opened the door, she saw Erlang holding Dong Xiaoman and whispering face to face.
Although I felt panicked, when I thought of what the old man said, I couldn't help but ask: "What kind of paperwork did your father say you wrote, and said that he wanted to give all the family's money to your daughter-in-law?" In the future, even if you don't have a son, you won't have a successor from your eldest brother. Let your girl be a big deal? ”
Dong Xiaoman pushed Erlang away with a flushed face, and was also very dissatisfied with his mother's recklessness and rudeness.
Since the thing has been done, there is nothing to hide, and Erlang is afraid that the people in the village will not know the way.
Seeing her son nodding, Mrs. Zhang scolded: "You fool, are you blinded by lard?" Or did it make this woman's two bubbles of cat urine cry and make her brain stunned? ”
Erlang frowned and opened his mouth unsatisfied to stop Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, pay attention to what you say." ”
Mrs. Zhang became even more angry when she heard this, pointed to Dong Xiaoman's face and said, "You gave her all the money, what if you have a wild man?" Didn't the Zhang family's land fall into the hands of others? Are you a fool? Don't have trouble finding yourself a turtle shell belt? ”
Erlang blurted out: "Mother, are you so looking forward to my death?" ”
Mrs. Zhang was stunned. Then he cried aggrievedly: "Where can I mean this, you are the meat that fell from my body, I am all for your good." ”
Erlang sneered: "Since my mother is for my good, why don't you let me leave my money and blood to my blood?" ”
Mrs. Zhang couldn't say anything for a long time, and said reluctantly: "Aren't I afraid that you will have no roots?" ”
Erlang said: "Even if you don't have a son, your daughter's recruitment is the same." I'd rather give my child to someone else's son. ”
Mrs. Zhang almost leaned back angrily, pointed at Dong Xiaoman and scolded: "What kind of ** soup did you pour him?" Let him be so protective of his own brother? I know that you are an uneasy and kind-hearted person, hmph, if you are good, how can you casually recruit your mother's family into the house to live permanently! ”
Erlang looked at Mrs. Zhang sadly, with a look of regret: "Mother, I'm still here, you do this to their mothers." If I'm gone, what will you do? Can't you think about it for me? ”
Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "I am a mother, what I said is right." What you did was stupid, you quickly went to the village chief and said that the money and property are in my hands, and if you come back, I will return it to you. If you really have an accident, I will give her a son born to this woman, but if there is another girl, I will let your eldest brother give you a child, and it will be over. ”
Erlang knew that he couldn't tell his mother clearly, and his temper came up and said: "It's not interesting for my mother to say this, since the eldest brother has a son to send him to the end, let the eldest brother go." Hmph, I'm not going to go! ”
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward to slap Erlang with a cry: "Rabbit cub, you are a king and a lamb." You still dare to threaten the old lady, you dare to scare me. ”
Erlang simply lost his donkey temper, pulled his mother and walked out: "I'll go home with you and tell my eldest brother, and you let me go and ask my wife and children to go to die, so I won't do it." Whoever wants to go will go, it's a big deal to let Saburo go. ”
Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she was in a cold sweat, no matter how she pulled her son, he was like a donkey who didn't obey the call. Zhilu Dao's son has a donkey temper again, and he really picked on it.
In case he really doesn't go, the boss's soft bones don't want to go, and Saburo is thinking about serving the country with loyalty or something, and it will be a bad thing if Saburo goes.
But no matter how good she tried to persuade her, she was dragged back to the old house by Erlang all the way.
There are also a lot of villagers on the road, who is not parting with life and death at this time, and some people go to Zhang's house to see the excitement when they see such a situation.
Erlang has the intention to make a fuss and let everyone know, even if someone bullies Dong Xiaoman in the future, it will be estimated that everyone will speak.
Old man Zhang looked at his wife who would only cause trouble with a dark face, Da Lang was so frightened that he was sweating all over his head, and the Li and Liu families didn't dare to say anything, San Lang sneered and watched everything.
In the end, Mr. Zhang gave in, and the whole family agreed to Erlang's decision. Whether Dong Xiaoman's baby is a man or a woman, he will not care about their housework, and if there is any difficulty, his family will also help.
Liu Ruyi was very disappointed when she heard this, and she wanted to take this opportunity to live in Erlang's new house and be comfortable.
Li Shi put her mind at ease, and her consciousness was that joining the army and fighting was to send her to death. As long as Da Lang doesn't die, whoever loves to die will die, and then I thought about it, if Erlang died, Dong Xiaoman would become a widow, and what could I do if I had a few taels of silver in my hand.
When I thought of Dong Xiaoman's sallow face and withered body, leading two yellow-faced and thin-skinned girls to work in the field, I couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and smile.
San Lang walked up to Erlang and bowed solemnly to Erlang, and it was the kind of etiquette that countrymen rarely have. Judging from the eyes of the villagers watching at the door next to him, it was Saburo who worshiped Erlang in the way of meeting his master.
I saw San Lang solemnly say to Erlang: "Second brother, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to protect the second sister-in-law and the two nieces and nephews." ”
Li couldn't help but smile and pointed at San Lang and said, "Uncle, what you said is light, you are still a child." After speaking, he giggled non-stop, and was glared at by Da Lang before he stopped talking.
San Lang didn't look at it, just stared at Erlang and said: "If my ability is limited, I will definitely go to the village chief to complain, if the village chief can't control me, I will go to the county master, if the county master doesn't care, I will go to sue the royal court!" ”
That's a bit of a big deal, what a big deal it is, it's worth suing. The idea of the reader is really different from that of the common people, and most of the people present think so.
"The third brother has a heart, it's not in vain that I have always loved you." Erlang's heart was warm, and his face looked much better.
"Look at what you said is serious, maybe the second uncle will come back in a few months, and when the time comes, I can't say if I am still a soldier!" Liu Ruyi suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at each other and smiled, which was regarded as revealing this embarrassing matter.
Within a day, everyone in the village knew that the Zhang family had let the married woman who had been married for more than a year and the child was still in infancy, and Erlang was pregnant, to do the work of a strong man.
What's even more bizarre is that Erlang didn't hand over the property and other things to his parents and brothers, but handed them all over to his wife and wrote a note to invite witnesses to belong to his two children.
At this time, the people who came out of the village were all surprised, and they were talking about Erlang's confusion, and some people were thinking about the dowry of Huanhuan, who was still breastfeeding.
What dowry? Erlang's magnificent big house, and a few acres of land, more than ten or twenty taels of silver~ (to be continued) RQ
