Chapter 20 Separation

The next day, Mu Hong invited the patriarch and patriarch of the Mu family to come, and Mu Feng, the patriarch of the Mu family, is also the village head of Qingshui Village.

Mu Hong invited several patriarchs and clan elders to take a seat, and then showed several deeds of division to the patriarchs and clan elders respectively.

"Mu Lao Wu, there is a problem with the deed of your separation!" After reading the deed of separation, the first person to speak was Mu Sen, the third elder of the Mu family.

"What's the problem?" Mu Hong sat on the side and asked aloud, the elders and patriarchs of the clan have always been invited by each family to divide the clan and the patriarch is just a situation, generally as long as the family members of the divided family have no opinions, even if the division is not fair enough, the clan elders and the patriarch have no objections, after all, it is discussed by the people, and the patriarchs and clan elders will not show it even if they have opinions, so Mu Hong is a little dissatisfied with the third elder Mu Sen saying that there is a problem with the deed, but because of Mu Sen's identity, he did not show it, he just asked.

When Mu Sen saw Mu Hong looking at him, he took the deed in his hand and pointed it to Mu Hong and said, "How can you only get a thatched house for the third and fourth rooms, and the things in the long room and the second room should be moved out to the third and fourth rooms." And your filial piety every year is too much, we only give one or two taels of silver a year to the most people in Qingshui Village, and your ten taels of silver are inevitably too much. ”

After listening to Mu Sen's words, Mu Hong didn't have any expression on his face, but said flatly: "Everyone agreed to my separation like this, and the three elders were inevitably too lenient." ”

"You," Mu Sen didn't expect Mu Hong to be like this, but since it was all a matter that was discussed by others, then he was indeed a little lenient, but such an unfair division of the three-bedroom Mu Jingze family and the four-room Mu Jinglei family would agree? But Mu Sen thought that over the years, the status of Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei in the Mu Lao Five family was really no different from that of a servant, almost as soon as they were called, they came and went, and they did the most and ate the least, I am afraid that Mu Lao Wu proposed such a separation, even if the two of them disagreed.

Thinking about it like this, Mu Sen felt that Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei were even more aggrieved, they had worked so hard for this family, and in the end they got a thatched house, what is the difference between this and leaving the house, if you can't do it, you have to fight for more for these two honest children.

"Dad, patriarchs, clan elders." At this time, Mu Jinghai led the rest of Mu Lao Wu's family to the hall, and did not sit down in turn like yesterday, but stood in turn, waiting for the patriarch and the clan elders to divide the Mu family.

And when Mu Sen saw the big house and the second room family in brocade clothes, and the people in the third and fourth rooms in coarse cloth and rags, the original injustice in his heart directly turned into an atmosphere, which is what kind of heart deviation has become, which causes the gap between the big room and the second room and the third and fourth rooms to be so big, even if it is a person who is eccentric, there is no such eccentricity, Mu Sen has some doubts that this Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei are not born to Mu Hong and the Li family.

"You all agree to split up like this?" Patriarch Mu Feng spoke, first asked for opinions, and saw that everyone nodded, so he took the deed of division and read it, and finally asked again if he agreed to such a separation.

"Patriarch, I think this deed of separation needs to be changed." Mu Sen suddenly interjected, for such an unequal thing, Mu Sen really can't bear it, even if the parties don't have opinions, but he just can't stand it.

"Third Elder, what's wrong with you?" Mu Feng turned his head to look at the side, and the third elder Mu Sen asked.

"The two brothers, Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei, only got a thatched house, which is much less than the people in the big room and the second room, and even Mu Ruxia's is not as good, isn't it too little?" Mussen said.

"This ······ It's a little little, "Mu Feng originally felt that Mu Lao Wu was too partial when he saw this deed of separation, but this is someone's family matter, and no one has an opinion, so he is not much better, and now it is mentioned by the third elder Mu Sen, and Mu Feng also wants to help Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei, two honest brothers.

"What do you think?" Mu Sen saw that the patriarch Mu Feng also felt that it was less, so he turned his head to look at Mu Hong on the side and asked.

Mu Hong secretly scolded Mu Sen for being nosy, but he still showed extreme friendliness on his face, and said: "This is less, since they have less share, then their filial piety in the future will be less, pay five taels of silver a year!" ”

A broken thatched house in exchange for five taels of filial piety silver a year, this Mu Hong's wishful thinking should not be too loud. Mu Yunxue stood in the crowd and pouted, but she was still very happy about the loss of five taels of filial piety silver every year.

"Five taels, don't you want your two youngest sons to live, they don't eat or drink all year round, so you will be happy to save filial piety and silver for you!" Mu Sen was obviously dissatisfied with Mu Hong's answer, so he spoke a little sarcastically.

"This is a family affair of my family, and I will only change it for the sake of the face of the patriarch and the clan elders." Mu Hong said with a cold face, very dissatisfied with the nosy affairs of the Mu family patriarch and clan elders.

"You," Mu Sen was angry by Mu Hong's words, how could he have ever seen such an eccentric person, and wanted to say anything more, but thinking of what Mu Hong had just said, other people's families had no opinions, and it was meaningless for him to have opinions here, so he didn't say anything anymore, but the sullenness in his heart still couldn't dissipate for a long time.

Patriarch Mu Feng saw that Mu Sen no longer spoke, and knew that the matter of the division of the family was so decided, so he changed the deed in his hand and copied a few copies, and then several clan elders signed and sealed, and after signing and sealing, he gave the deed in his hand to the two elders of the Mu family, one for the first, second, third, and fourth rooms of the Mu family, one for Mu Ruxia, one for the patriarch, one for the ancestral hall, and one for the yamen for archiving.

Doing all this well can be regarded as a division of the family, Mu Yunxue watched Mu Jing put away the deed of division in his hand, and was also relieved, from now on, his family will live a good life, and he will no longer have to do day work for his grandmother and will not be able to eat enough.

After that, Mu Hong sent away the patriarch and patriarch of the Mu family, and then the people of the big house and the two elders of the Mu family began to pack up, and when a few people finished cleaning up, the second carriage that came to pick them up also arrived at the gate of the Mu family's courtyard.

Mu Yunxue stood in a corner of the courtyard and watched the big house of the Mu family and the second boss of the Mu family load the packed packages into the carriage, and then said goodbye to the people in the second room of the Mu family and got into the carriage and left.

"Sister, in the future, I will definitely let you sit in a carriage that is better than this." This is Mu Zhiyi, who was standing beside Mu Yunxue at some point, took Mu Yunxue's hand and said firmly.

Mu Yunxue listened to Mu Zhiyi's words, her eyes smiled, and she looked up at Mu Zhiyi, who was only ten years old next to her, the little young man showed a serious look on his face, Mu Yunxue suddenly felt very down-to-earth, and nodded vigorously with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "My sister can wait to take my brother's carriage in the future." ”
