Chapter 40: The Rogues
To establish a female household, the village chief must go to the town mayor to issue documents, and then go to the county government to handle it, so it took two days of hard work for the village chief Liu to send the household registration of the female household and the title deed to the third room.
"There is no hurry to build a house, but the female household must have a homestead, and I am in charge of dividing a piece of land for willow leaves here."
The head of Liu Village sighed: "The past two years have been good, good fields can't be bought, and the wasteland at the foot of the mountain is cheap, but it can't grow any good crops, so I bought two acres for Liu Ye, and it is important to get the household registration first." In the future, the big girl will set up a door, and don't forget to take care of her younger brothers and sisters. ”
There were some things that Village Chief Liu didn't say, after all, there was no accurate news coming back.
But the willow roots have been gone for more than a month and a half, and it stands to reason that they should have come back a long time ago, so they won't be waiting to see the release list, right?
"Thank you to the village chief and grandfather, I will fry a few snacks in two days, and invite the village chief and a few clan elders to eat and drink."
Liu Ya smiled and handed the title deed to Liu Ye, and the rest of the silver was naturally given to Liu Ye.
Liu Wang's family looked absent-minded, and it was not good for Village Chief Liu to stay with his niece and daughter-in-law for too long, so Liu Ya sent him out.
"Liu Ya, your father...... Still haven't believed it yet? As he walked out of the gate, Village Chief Liu asked.
Liu Ya shook her head, worried about this matter these days.
It doesn't matter if the cheap dad doesn't pass the exam, I'm afraid that something will happen to him, how can Liu Wang's family withstand the blow?
And the cheap dad returned safely, so many things happened in the third room and the old house, how should they get along next?
"Eldest sister, my mother should be worried about my father, don't take it to heart."
The two sisters were sitting in the yard picking wild vegetables, and Liu Ya saw that Liu Ye's mood was wrong, and whispered comfortingly.
"I'm fine." Liu Ye's eyes were red, and he shook his head lightly and said, "This matter is our mistake, we should discuss it with my mother first." ”
"......" can it be done after discussion?
Liu Ya didn't reply, but she didn't agree with Liu Ye's point of view in her heart.
It is true that Liu Wang's family loves his daughter, but his thoughts are pure ancient women, and even if her husband is not at home, she will ask her in-laws for this kind of thing.
According to the character of the old houseman, he will only find a way to withhold the silver from the hands of Liu Wang, and if he does not sell the three sisters, it will be a conscience discovery.
"Second sister, I want to give the silver to my mother. Although I have a female household, I am still a family in the end. ”
Liu Ye regards Liu Ya as the backbone, since he left the Ge family, the weight of Liu Ya in Liu Ye's heart is not something that anyone can replace.
"You put away this silver, and I have it for the chewing at home. When the eldest sister is well-raised, she can also make money with me, and when the time comes, if you want to honor your mother, I won't stop you. Liu Ya said.
"But the money that ransomed me at the beginning was earned by you, second sister, and it cost a lot of ...... at the pharmacy."
"Is the eldest sister going to settle accounts with me? We're sisters. ”
Interrupting Liu Ye's words, Liu Ya said softly: "I understand the eldest sister's thoughts, but when the silver is in the hands of my mother, what is the difference between giving it to the old house?" The eldest sister is willing to send all the money she bought in exchange for her life? ”
Liu Ye bit his lip and didn't make a sound, and only shook his head lightly for a while.
Liu Ya smiled lightly, patted the back of Liu Ye's hand and said: "It's good that the eldest sister can figure it out, I'm really afraid that the eldest sister is the same as her mother, she is good to the old house, and if she is sold, she has to count the silver for others." ”
Liu Wang didn't know when he came out, and when he heard Liu Ya's last words, he couldn't help but turn pale.
"Mother......
When Liu Ye got up, he saw Liu Wang's family, and called out with a weak heart.
"Ya'er, you know a lot of people in the town, can you ask someone to inquire about your father?"
Liu Wang barely smiled, leaning against the door frame to stand firmly.
In the hearts of the children, are they dissatisfied with her as a mother?
But who didn't come here like this? What can we do to the elderly except for filial piety?
"Cheng, I'll go to ask someone tomorrow to inquire." Liu Ya did not refuse, but she was not optimistic in her heart.
It's just that I went to the county seat to participate in the county exam, and there were not a few Tongsheng trials, so I should come back when I climbed.
Liu Wang's expression was faint when he saw Liu Ya, and his eyes were a little darker, and he wanted to say something to the girls, but he swallowed it back after all, but his heart was uncomfortable.
Zhao Kee Noodle Restaurant.
Liu Hong has been careful these days, afraid that Zhao Jin will divorce his wife.
Even Zhao Xinyue helps the family work, and when she can hide in the house, she will never dangle in front of Zhao Jin.
"What are you talking about, dad?"
Liu Hong's face turned pale, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and she asked anxiously by pulling Zhao Jin's sleeve.
"Either divorce your wife, or let me take a concubine to give birth to the Zhao family, you can choose for yourself."
Zhao Jin impatiently waved Liu Hong away, and there was still a little unbearable in his eyes, after all, it was also a husband and wife for nearly twenty years.
"I'm not yet forty, and I can still give birth. If you wait for two more years, if I can't give you a son, I won't stop you from taking a concubine? Xinyue is going to look at each other at this age, if you take a concubine at this juncture, she ......"
"Lao Tzu is almost forty, wait for you for two more years, Lao Tzu will be the age of being a grandfather!"
Zhao Jin ruthlessly interrupted Liu Hong's words, and said coldly: "Give you a month of hard work to think clearly, Lao Tzu wants a son in his dreams now, if it weren't for the relationship between husband and wife, Lao Tzu would have divorced you a long time ago!" ”
"Where are you going? You wait for me, we have something to say, don't ......"
Liu Hong still wants to drag people, but Zhao Jin is already determined to admit saffron into the door, how can he give Liu Hong a chance to continue?
was pushed to the ground by Zhao Jin, Liu Hong howled and cried, but no one except Zhao Xinyue cared about her life or death.
"Mother, does my father really want to take a concubine?" Zhao Xinyue asked in a trembling voice.
Once there is a younger brother born from a concubine, how can she Zhao Xinyue be superior?
How much will the dowry be when you get married in the future? Will her mother's family still be her backer?
"Xinyue, go to your grandmother's house and ask your grandmother to think of a way. Your grandma is your father's cousin, and her face will still be given by the Zhao family, so we can only count on your grandma. ”
Liu Hong wiped her tears and looked at Zhao Xinyue hopefully.
"......"
Thinking of her father's flipping of the table that day, Zhao Xinyue was not hopeful.
"You take this silver to your grandmother and tell her that if your mother is divorced, or your father has a concubine, no one will be able to honor her so much in the future!"
Liu Hong stuffed the money bag into Zhao Xinyue's hand, but she knew her mother's virtue very well.
Besides, Liu Ya is asking Boss Chen about Tong Sheng's test, after all, Boss Chen has only returned from the county seat for a few days.
"It's been almost a month since the children's exams ended, and the results were released before I came back, and I guess there will be news in the next few days. Girl, what are you doing here? ”
Boss Chen knew some things about the children's exam, and he didn't think that Liu Ya's father was going to take the test, so he asked in surprise.
"My dad went to refer to it, and he hasn't come back yet." Liu Ya replied.
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't!"
Thinking of the news he heard, Boss Chen said with a complicated expression: "Girl, I suggest you go to the county to inquire, and it is best to go to the yamen to ask." I heard that a gang of rogues passed through the county town a month ago and robbed and killed many passers-by. ”
Liu Ya chuckled in her heart, and her hands unconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes.
