Chapter 10: The Calculations of the Five Old Men
"Now that we're all here, I'll say it. So the patriarch Mu Deren told him about meeting Sun Qian and Li Qiumei in front of the thatched house of Mu Zhijin's three brothers and sisters.
"This old seventh family is too confused!" was the second elder Mu Deyong, the first to speak.
"Well, the three brothers and sisters of Zhi Jin are pitiful enough, in the past, they were not less violated by their family in the old seven families, originally I was thinking about waiting for Zhi Jin to separate them when they grew up in the future, but now it seems that the old seven families will not squeeze the last bit of value of the three brothers and sisters of Zhi Jin, I don't think they will stop. The third elder Mu Deshan slapped his right hand the chair.
"I think this time we will cut off the five-room people of the seventh room of the Mu family and the seventh room of the Mu family, so that the people of the seventh room of the Mu family will always hit these three dolls with their ideas in the future. "Although Mu Demiao is a scholar, he is a very accountant and decisive person in Mujia Village.
"It's just that these three dolls are too small, I'm afraid it won't work if they open another door!" Mu Desong pondered for a while.
"It's easy to do, just separate the fathers of the three of them. Mu Demiao said.
"It's just that this requires the consent of both parties, and now this Mu Zewen has been missing for several years. Mu Deyong said.
"That's easy, we'll just say that in a moment······" Mu Yunyi stood helplessly to the side and listened to the five old men in the hall calculating the seven rooms of the Mu family with a cunning look, and sighed in his heart that he was really a patriarch and an elder, but it was different.
"Open the gate!" After the patriarch and several elders finished discussing, he ordered the door of the ancestral hall to be opened, and the thick and simple thick wooden gate slowly opened, making an ancient sound, and immediately many people from Mujia Village poured into the ancestral hall, men, women and children.
This made Mu Yunyi feel novel, after all, in the era in which he lived in his previous life, in ancient times, women in places like the ancestral hall were generally not allowed to come in casually, but this world did not seem to have these rules.
"It's not for anything else to call everyone here today, I think everyone also remembers the matter of the Mu family's seven rooms and the seven families of the Mu family a few days ago, and today the patriarch and several elders will open the ancestral hall here to make a break in this matter. "Patriarch Mu Deren is worthy of being the patriarch, as soon as the patriarch spoke, everyone present was quiet, and they all stretched out their ears to listen carefully, after all, who doesn't like to watch it!
"Patriarch, these three brothers and sisters Mu Zhijin have been expelled from the seventh room of the Mu family by me a few days ago, I don't know what kind of decision the patriarch wants to do today?" Mu Degong was originally standing in front of the crowd, but at this moment, when he saw the patriarch Mu Deren mention his own affairs, he stood up with a cane.
"Oh, is it?" Patriarch Mu Deren glanced at Mu Degong, and then looked at Sun Qian and Li Qiumei who were standing behind Mu Degong and said, "Then I don't know what happened to me in front of the house of the brothers and sisters of Zhi Jin again? Since the three brothers and sisters of Zhi Jin have been expelled from the seventh room of the Mu family by Mu Laoqi, then your eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law just said that they would sell these three brothers and sisters, but I don't know what kind of identity the two of them are in to be able to sell the three children who don't want to do it?" If it is the aunt of the three children, but although the parents of the two children do not know where they have gone, they are still there, and there is your grandfather alive, what the two of them just did is to sell their nephews and nieces privately, which will be expelled in our Mujia Village. ”
"Don't be the patriarch!"
"Don't!" Sun Qian and Li Qiumei panicked when they heard that they were going to be expelled from the clan, and they both knelt down and prayed.
If they are expelled, it is equivalent to being divorced, and if they are expelled for abducting and selling their nephews and nieces, the two of them are afraid that they will return to their parents' homes in the future, and there is only one rope to hang themselves.
"Patriarch, it's not that I'm going to sell the three brothers and sisters of Zhi Jin, it's ······ It was the mother-in-law and the second brother and sister, and the second brother and sister saw a family in the county buying a stepson, so they ······ I came back and told my mother-in-law that the family only wanted one hundred taels to buy a stepson, but my mother-in-law said that since it was better to sell it together, it was better to sell it together, so I asked the second brother and sister to discuss with the family, and finally the family proposed to make the big one a concubine, and the small one to be a rough maid who sold herself, and gave two hundred taels of silver, and the mother-in-law agreed when she heard that the other party gave two hundred taels of silver, so I and the second brother and sister went to the house of the brother and sister of Zhijin to persuade them. Sun Qian was originally a shrew with courage and no brains, but now seeing that not only did she have no money to take, but she might also be expelled from the clan because of this, she shook out what she knew like pouring beans in her heart.
"Slut!" snapped, and Sun Qian was slapped loudly by Sun Huifen Sun.
"Mother-in-law!" Sun Qian stumbled and fell to the ground, looking at her mother-in-law Sun Huifen in disbelief, tears immediately flowed out, since marrying into the Mu family, Sun Qian has been very favored by her mother-in-law Sun Huifen, one is because Sun Qian is Sun Huifen's distant niece is closer than other daughters-in-law, and the other is that Sun Qian is the eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Huifen has a noble status, so she has learned that those rich and noble families prefer the eldest son, and Sun Qian has always been a good person, so she has been the best one among the several daughters-in-law of the Mu family, and today she was suddenly slapped by Su Huifen Sun, she was stunned, and she was also innumerable grievances in her heart。
"The patriarch of the three brothers and sisters of Zhijin is also very difficult to live under the Daqing Mountain, and the mother-in-law saw that the three of them were pitiful, so she thought of passing them to the rich and noble family to enjoy the blessings, the patriarch, don't misinterpret the mother-in-law's good intentions!" Li Qiumei has always been a clever tongue and good argument, and when she saw that Sun Qian was beaten by her mother-in-law Sun Huifen Sun, she immediately changed her words.
"Hmph, misinterpretation, this patriarch didn't expect you to be a clever tongue, if that's the case, then pass your own children to that rich and noble family, this patriarch sees that you Mu family have many grandchildren, and one or two less will not hinder!" Patriarch Mu Deren was in a hurry, and he didn't want to leave half a minute to speak.
"This ······" Li Qiumei didn't expect that the patriarch, who had always been highly respected, would suddenly say such a thing, and her mouth was knotted for a while.
"Sun, if the patriarch doesn't call you, you don't know that you are at fault!" Patriarch Mu Deren didn't bother to continue to paint Li Qiumei, raised his head and looked at Sun Huifen, who had been standing beside Mu Degong.
"Patriarch, what's wrong with the old woman selling her grandchildren?" Sun Huifen Sun is also a lot older, but she is still wearing a bright purple cotton jacket and long skirt, and her gray hair is not like an ordinary old woman from a villager, but she uses hair oil to comb every hair like an old lady from a big family in the city, and then puts on a noble lady's bun, and then inserts a silver hairpin on it, and wears a forehead embroidered with a rich peony, which looks a little noble.
