Tian Shuilan knew that her words didn't carry much weight, so as soon as she finished speaking, she secretly twisted Zeng Chengchun's lower back.

Zeng Chengchun, who received the signal, quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, ten taels of silver a year, otherwise, we won't allow you to go out." ”

"Dad, if you want to say so, don't take these five taels of silver, and give them to the eldest brother." Zeng Rong said.

"Why? Are you my daughter, am I your father? Zeng Chengchun stood up again angrily, and straightened his waist for the first time.

"Yes, Ah Rong, your father is your father after all, you can't be that ungrateful unfilial son, leaving this family to live a good life alone." Zeng Chengqiu helped count Zeng Rong's words.

In fact, he wanted to send his daughter to Zeng Rong as early as when he learned that Zeng Rong took Zeng Hua to the mountain to collect medicine, but Zeng Rong did not agree, saying that he earned more by embroidering silk handkerchiefs at home than by going up the mountain to collect medicines, and it was lightweight, and the wind could not blow the rain, the sun could not shine, unlike her, who had no choice, and no one taught her to learn embroidery silk handkerchiefs.

It wasn't until later that the Wang family came to Tian Shuilan to inquire and learned that the herbs that Zeng Hua carried back every day were indeed not sold for a few big bucks, so he stopped thinking about it.

But who knew that Zeng Rong had this luck and saved a noble son from the capital, and as soon as he made a move, he was Xie Yin, who was twenty taels of silver, not to mention taking Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua to the capital.

If his daughter was also present, wouldn't he be able to go to the capital with him, and his family would be able to borrow light to live a good life?

As soon as Zeng Chengqiu spoke, Zeng Chengxia also nodded hurriedly and said: "That's not it, Ah Rong, you can't leave your father behind, our family is pointing at you, you can't have no conscience." ”

Zeng Chengxia glanced at the Wang family after speaking, and the Wang family was just about to speak, but the patriarch preemptively said: "Da Xia and Da Qiu, you don't have to say a few words, Da Chun, you sit down, you listen to me say a few words." ”

I just heard Zeng Rong mention the words "Old Lady Xu", and he knew who this old lady was.

Xu Jishan's family, a scholar of the Beijing Cabinet University, his son couldn't enter the door of the Xu family for several years, but he didn't expect that God finally sent him the opportunity, and he had to seize this opportunity.

So, he was in charge of the matter.

The patriarch's words were still somewhat prestigious, Zeng Chengchun sat down honestly, and Zeng Chengxia and Zeng Chengqiu also shut up.

Wang wanted to say a few words, but the patriarch swept over with a look, and she swallowed the words back.

Well, it's not too late to hear what this old thing has to say.

Seeing that the people in the room were quiet, the patriarch stood up, inspected the people in the house, and said: "Don't force Ah Rong one by one, it's not easy for this child to have today, to put it mildly, if it wasn't for Mr. Ouyang who saved the child, let alone twenty taels of silver, you wouldn't be able to fall into a big son." Also, if Ah Rong hadn't been alert last time and found out that you were going to sell her, she wouldn't know where she would be locked up, and she couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive, how could she have the twenty taels of silver today? You say, "Is that the truth?" ”

"Having said that, but, after all, it's our daughter, so she can't ignore us." Zeng Chengchun was exposed on the spot, and he was quite annoyed, but because of the identity of the other party, he didn't dare to attack, so he had to refute two sentences.

"Why didn't you care, didn't you leave twenty taels of silver? Should you be your father's mother? Should you pay for your study? There is also Ah Hua, who is only six years old, and Ah Rong also said that he would take him to the capital, doesn't this mean that he raised another child for you, are you still not satisfied? I know, you want to say that these two babies will be able to get a dowry in the future, but you go and ask, how many girls in the village can get a dowry of ten taels of silver? ”

"That's exactly what it means, Ah Rong is equivalent to helping you solve all the problems, why are you worried?" The third uncle said openly.

"Third uncle, I have a lot of babies, and the two little ones are still so young, and there will be many days of worry in the future." Tian Shuilan pushed Ah Lai out.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, why are you in a hurry?" The patriarch glared at Tian Shuilan, and saw that she lowered her head, so he said to Zeng Chengchun: "Da Chun, it's not that I don't know your difficulties, so let's do it, I have a way here, can you see if it's okay?" ”

The method in the patriarch's mouth is to give Zeng Chengchun ten taels of silver, which means that the burden on his side is also heavy, the two little dolls are still so small, and they are male babies, and it will be a big expense to marry in the future, but Zeng Chengchun is not young anymore.

Therefore, the patriarch meant to let Zeng Chengchun take the ten taels of silver to buy two acres of sandy land, and the remaining ten taels of silver were given to Zeng Fuxiang to marry, and the other five taels were given to Zeng Guixiang for studying.

As for the silver for Agui to become a relative and take the exam in the future, if Zeng Chengchun agrees to split the family, Zeng Fuxiang and his family will pay for it, and if they don't separate the family, Zeng Chengchun will pay for it.

And Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua, when they first went to the capital, they probably didn't get a foothold so quickly, and these two people still had to rent a house and eat, so he meant that after a few years, the conditions would be good, and they could properly fund Agui.

As soon as the patriarch finished speaking, the Wang family and the third uncle nodded again and again, in this way, it can be regarded as reducing the burden on Zeng Chengchun, after all, everyone knows how expensive it is to support a scholar at home.

If this burden is thrown to Zeng Fuxiang, Zeng Rong will definitely not be able to sit idly by, after all, they are the brothers and sisters of the same mother.

This can be regarded as forcing Zeng Chengchun to agree to split up in disguise, and at the same time, Zeng Rong was calculated.

Therefore, this condition is unsatisfactory to Tian Shuilan and Zeng Rong, Tian Shuilan feels that if she really wants to split up, not only will the family lose a major labor force, but also have to lose a few acres of land, how will you live this life? She also has two sons, and she still wants to provide for her two sons.

Zeng Rong didn't want to have anything to do with her hometown anymore, and besides, she wasn't sure that she was capable of taking on this burden now, who knew what would be waiting for her in the capital?

When she was about to say no, Tian Shuilan preemptively said: "It's okay to split up the family, and in the future, Afu and Agui will leave the house." ”

"Why?" Zeng Rong was so angry that he also stood up, and angrily turned to Zeng Chengchun, "Dad, you say, are we your children?" ”

"Ah Rong, Ah Rong, don't be angry, don't be angry." Zeng Fuxiang was afraid that his sister would say something rebellious, so he hurriedly reached out and held her down and sat her down.

"It's really too much, Da Chun, you say something." The patriarch asked Zeng Chengchun.

"We, we, we, we don't divide families." Zeng Chengchun held back for a while and came up with such an idea.

He is not stupid, divide these two sons, he will definitely not be able to touch the silver money funded by Zeng Rong in the future, and the most important thing is that if Ah Gui is interested, it will be Ah Fu and Ah Rong who will be repaid in the future, not him as a father, therefore, how is this account inappropriate, not to mention, keeping Ah Fu can still help him farm the land, otherwise, it is really difficult for him to work in the field alone.

"No separation, no separation, how can there be a reason to separate the family just after marrying? It's not good to say, it's not appropriate to marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother? Zeng Chengxia said.

The patriarch glanced at Zeng Rong, who was just about to speak, when the movement of Le Ma suddenly sounded outside the door.
