Chapter 104: Breaking Away from Relationships
Su Qin smiled faintly, "According to common sense, this is indeed the case. But this statement cannot be applied to the Cheng family. Although the Cheng family raised Cheng Yan'an, I believe that the people in the village can also see what kind of life Cheng Yan'an lived in the years when Cheng Yan'an lived. ”
"He has been making money to support this big family, the money to build a house, the silver for Cheng Yanping's marriage, including the chewing of a large family, are all exchanged for Cheng Yan'an's hunting, and Cheng Yanan finally died for protecting Cheng's family, so he has repaid the kindness of parenting."
"And you have never been kind to our mother and son, either for wealth or for death. So, it's not too much for me to ask to cut ties with you. ”
"Moreover, now I can't help but agree to you, what you said just now, everyone has heard it with their own ears, your family is plotting to kill me, as long as I stab this matter to the yamen, I think Master Tao should be willing to administer justice for me again." Last time, I read it for the sake of you Cheng Yanan and the relatives of the two children, I don't care about you, do you think I will be as generous as before? ”
Su Qin's words made the Cheng family feel a little jealous.
Su Qin turned his head to look at the patriarch and Li Zheng, "Please also ask the patriarch and Li Zheng to make decisions for our mother and son, and allow us to dissociate ourselves from Cheng Erwang's family in order to save our lives." ”
As for what Cheng Zhou himself said just now, Su Qin's request was not too much.
The patriarch discussed it with Li Zheng, and felt that if Su Qin's mother and son continued to be involved with Old Man Cheng's family, they would be killed by Old Man Cheng's family sooner or later.
These two people are not bad people, plus they have been beaten by the county order before, and they have the benefits promised by Su's mother, so they will naturally speak to Su Qin.
So the patriarch came forward and said: "Although it is true that the Cheng family has the grace of nurturing Cheng Yan'an, everything Cheng Yan'an did to the Cheng family when he was alive is enough to offset the nurturing grace of the Cheng family. And the Cheng family was unkind to the wife and children he left behind, and repeatedly tried to seek money and kill him, such things are intolerable, so Su Qinniang's request is reasonable for me and Li Zheng. ”
"From today on, the three Su mother and son have nothing to do with Cheng Erwang's family, and Cheng Erwang's family must no longer entangle Su's mother and son in any name. In addition, the Cheng family must immediately return the Su family's house deed to the Su family! ”
The villagers felt that this decision was very reasonable, and there were some people who wanted to pat Su Qin's ass, so they applauded.
Cheng Zhoushi jumped up and shouted: "Don't think! This house was bought by our Cheng family, why is it cheap Su Qinniang's slut, no one wants to take away the title deed, this is our Cheng family's thing! ”
The patriarch sneered, "The name written on the title deed is Su Qinniang, if you take it out honestly, you can still save a little affection." If you don't give it, don't be afraid that I won't be merciful! ”
Old man Cheng hurriedly said, "Patriarch, don't forget, we are the same clan. Su is now just a foreign surname, and after she got the real estate deed, she might run away with the house and land. You are the patriarch of the Cheng clan, how can you harm the interests of the clansmen. ”
These words made the patriarch hesitate all of a sudden, yes, after the Su family broke off the relationship with the Cheng family, it had nothing to do with their Cheng family. This is different from the clansmen next to him, no matter what he says, the clansmen next to him are surnamed Cheng, and they are the blood and blood of the Cheng family.
Seeing this, Su Qin said: "Patriarch, although the children's father is not the flesh and blood of the Cheng family, but for so many years, thanks to the care of the clan, we have also remembered these kindnesses, so we have dissociated ourselves from Cheng Erwang's family, but my children are still surnamed Cheng, and they are still the descendants of the Cheng family, and this will never change." In order to thank the clan for taking care of our mother and son, I have already decided to donate the fields under my name to the clan for public use. ”
There is a clan field in the clan, and the annual output is used to support some lonely and widowed old people in the clan, and the rest is exchanged for silver, which is recorded in the account of the clan and used for the expenses of some affairs in the clan.
Su Qin now has a total of three acres of high-grade land and two acres of low-grade land under his name, which can be worth forty or fifty taels when converted into silver.
That's not a small amount of money.
The patriarch was tempted.
Seeing this, Old Man Cheng also hurriedly said, "Patriarch, I can also agree to this condition." Don't believe the Su family's nonsense, her heart is not in our Cheng family at all, she is just trying to get this house now, so she will promise these benefits to the clan. ”
The patriarch was torn.
Then, Cheng Zhoushi spoke, "Are you crazy old man?" Take out the field and give it to the clan, don't even think about it! What did the clan do to our family? Why should they be cheaper? Those fields are filled with grass, and they cannot be cheapened. The group of old immortal things in the clan, why should others keep them! ”
"And the patriarch is not a good person, those clan fields in the clan beat so much grain every year, most of it is exchanged for silver, and those silver and account books are all in his hands, if you want to say that he is not greedy, I don't believe it!"
As soon as the villagers were told this, their eyes looked at the patriarch with inquiry, and the patriarch's face suddenly turned black into the bottom of the pot, "Cheng Zhou, is there any evidence for what you said?!" ”
Cheng Zhou snorted, "Still need evidence?" After beating you to become the patriarch, your family's life will get better and better, and you must have been greedy for all that silver. ”
The patriarch was so angry that his face turned black and purple, and his teeth were about to be crushed, "You spew blood!" The silver account books in the clan are well kept by me, but every expenditure and income is clearly recorded in the accounts, and every time the accounts are kept, several clan elders are also present! Why do you slander me for being greedy for the money of my people? ”
Cheng Zhou's said very unreasonably: "Those clan elders are naturally not good birds, they must also be good!" ”
Su Qin listened from the sidelines, and almost wanted to applaud Cheng Zhou's family. What a warrior! With this sentence, all the most powerful people in the clan have been offended, which is great!
Old man Cheng hurriedly scolded, "Shut up!" You ignorant fool! ”
Cheng Zhoushi snorted angrily, "What are you doing to me!" Didn't you scold them at home a few days ago for eating people and not doing things? Why are you blaming me again? ”
Old man Cheng couldn't wait to spit blood out on the spot.
Patriarch Cheng laughed angrily, "Good, good, good!" Cheng Erwang, I didn't expect me and a few clan elders to be such people in your eyes, good, very good! ”
Old man Cheng hurriedly explained, "Patriarch, it's not like this, I haven't said those words, it's all nonsense from this stupid old lady, don't misunderstand......"
