Chapter 4 Xue Langjing turned over and called the shots?
Although the Xue Langjing sisters were not sad about Xue Boqing's death, they also knew that they could not show it in front of their elders, so they could only continue to work as usual, and let them do whatever they wanted.
On the night before Xue Boqing's funeral, Xue Yuhe, who had just walked out of his nephew's mourning hall, walked in the direction of the toilet while pacing, and ran into someone who was carrying two buckets of water on the way.
By the moonlight, I could see that the two buckets of water were almost overflowing.
He was just about to say hello, but the man, as if he had already spotted him, called out to his father as he passed by him, and hurried away with water.
Xue Yuhe looked at the back of the other party carrying two large buckets of water, and did not come back to his senses until the back disappeared in front of his eyes.
He stood there and pondered for a while, and then continued to walk towards the hut.
I almost forgot that his daughter is a rare female ability!
Tomorrow is the day of the nephew's funeral, and when this matter is over, how the family will live in the future will have to be reconsidered.
As if thinking of something, Xue Yuhe murmured secretly.
On the second day, after Xue Boqing finished the funeral and demolished the mourning hall, it was also announced that the funeral had completely ended, and Xue Boqing had become the past of their Xue family.
At a certain time, everyone in the Xue family was gathered in the hall, the old man and Mrs. Xue sat on the main seat, the two couples in the second room of the big room sat on one side, and the Xue Langjing sisters were squatting or sitting or leaning on the wall at the entrance, staying there obediently and quietly.
No one spoke, and the room fell silent.
The quiet atmosphere lasted for a while, and seeing that no one spoke, Xue Yuhe spoke, "Since everyone has no idea, then let me tell you my own thoughts, now we only have five taels of silver in our family, if we withdraw two family affairs, the Jiang family will be fifteen taels and the Liu family will be five taels, adding up to a total of twenty-five taels." Others, except for this house, there are only two acres of thin fields, and the county also got a letter from the previous county, but Boqing did not win. Anyway, we can't enjoy the title of Xiucai, so we don't have to care about those Shilaozi titles, my daughter is already in her twenties, and my grandchildren don't have a shadow yet, so I plan to recruit Lang Jing, and the other four sisters will also find their in-laws earlier. ”
As soon as he heard his words, Mr. Xue was too anxious, "Second child, if you recruit a child, you will be ridiculed, besides, the baby born in the future will be another family's species after all, and if you have a son in the future, and you will recruit a brother-in-law for him in the future, how will he behave!" ”
That's right, Mrs. Xue never thought that one day their Xue family would recruit money, and at this time, she still fantasized about her two sons giving her a grandson, and even if the two daughters-in-law can't give birth to grandchildren, they can also pay some money for retirement on the grounds of having no children, and then marry a daughter-in-law who can give birth to grandchildren.
The eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, and this reason can't be used, but the second daughter-in-law only gave birth to five useless girls, and she has never been able to give birth to a son.
Xue Yuhe immediately persuaded her, "Mother, my son is also well thought out, and it's not that I don't want to have a son, but since Xiao Jiu was born, so many years have passed, let alone a son, and the girl has not conceived one, how can I have a son, instead of such unrealistic fantasies, it is better to be practical and recruit it earlier." ”
"You can take a break..."
Mrs. Xue just wanted to say that you can divorce your wife and remarry, but when she thought that the two daughters-in-law were still here, she couldn't say this in front of her, and if she wanted to say it, she would say it in private, in case her son didn't agree, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not get along well in the future, but she couldn't find any other reason to oppose it all of a sudden, and she couldn't refute it if she wanted to, so she could only stare dryly.
Seeing that no one objected, and the matter of his own house seemed to have been decided like this, Xue Yuhe began to care about his brother's family.
"Big brother, what about you, which recruit are you going to make?"
"I..." was suddenly asked like this, Xue Yuhai didn't know how to answer at all, after all, he had a son before, and he never thought that one day he would have to think about recruiting money.
In their eyes, recruiting is similar to borrowing seeds from other families, although the children born have their own surnames, but after all, they are not their own species, and they will not be able to raise their heads in the village, unless there is really no way, otherwise where will ordinary people be willing to recruit money.
Before Xue Yuhai could come up with a reason, Mrs. Xue was reluctant at first, and only asked her younger son, "Is there no other way, and there are very few people who are willing to let their son join other families, and they can't find it in a short time, why do you have to make a decision so early to recruit it", she is really unwilling to borrow seeds from other families, only with a grandson can she feel at ease, and she can't think of a way to continue dragging it.
Xue Yuhe said a little helplessly, "Then what else can be done, things have already happened, and we can't change them, and..."
He hesitated, not knowing whether to speak or not.
Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked, "And what?" ”
"And there is also a rule in the imperial court, if there are no male heirs in the family, if you decide to choose to recruit a child, if you have female ability, she can also buy the spiritual elixir from the imperial court for five taels of silver, like a man, if the spiritual enlightenment is successful, she can support our family alone, if it fails..."
Saying that, Xue Yuhe's voice was a little low, "There is only so much left in our family, it is more difficult and expensive to recruit a daughter-in-law than to marry a daughter-in-law, I don't know how much dowry it will take, I'm afraid she can't support this family alone." Therefore, so the son wants to divide the family, and return the family affairs of the two families, a total of twenty-five taels, our second room will be less divided, to twelve taels, one acre of land, in addition to the five taels for the purchase of medicines, there are still seven taels of silver, when the time comes, let Lang Jing go hunting, this acre of land for their mother and daughter five species, I will go to the town to find a job, this family should barely be able to support, how can I let a few girls find a good in-law, can live a peaceful and stable life. Of course, we won't care about our parents, we can talk to anyone, and the maintenance costs will be shared between the two rooms. ”
"It's not allowed to divide the family, and as long as I'm still here, this family is not allowed to be divided."
"No, you can't separate families, you can't separate families."
"We don't want to share."
The first sentence was said by Old Man Xue, who had been silent before, with a very tough attitude.
The second sentence was naturally said by Mrs. Xue, as soon as she heard her son say that she wanted to split up, she was a little anxious and had no master, and she only talked about not separating the family.
The last sentence is naturally from the mouth of the daughter-in-law of the big house, Shen's mouth, it seems that the second child doesn't want to care about their big house, and the second family has at least one who can hunt and one who can go to work, so that he can barely support a small family. And their big house, they can only rely on their own father-in-law, and her father-in-law is not like the second child, a little bit of handiwork, and the age is five years older than the second child, only farming, relying on that acre of thin land, how can I afford to support this family, especially to share the two old people, so this family must not be divided.
Several people objected almost at the same time, and after hearing that his father-in-law also objected, Shen immediately reacted and echoed his father-in-law's words, "Yes, your second room let Xiaoba recruit money, and our big room also decided to recruit money, and do not give birth to a son, so that there is no need to divide the family, Xiaoba can also buy Qiling Elixir, and if Qiling is successful, he may have to pay for medicinal materials in the future, whether it is the money to buy medicine or medicinal materials, we will pay this money together, we can use the money of Gongzhong, and we will treat her as our own daughter in the future." ”
Mrs. Xue only thought about not separating the family, and did not say a reason, so she acquiesced to their statement in the eyes of others.
In this way, only the second daughter-in-law Liang and Xue Yuhai are left, and the Liang family naturally listens to their own father-in-law.
Old man Xue looked at his eldest son, "Boss, what do you think?" ”
Boss Xue was silent for a while before replying, "Then do what they say." ”
Since no one objected, Old Man Xue made a decision, "That's it, both rooms are recruited, let's go buy the Enlightenment Elixir and give it a go." ”
