Chapter 5: Leaving the Wolf's Den
"What? Single? Don't mess around, child, how do you live with a woman leading a child? Song Bo shook his head and said.
"Yan Nian has been tortured in the Liu family, and even if I go out, it will be better than in the Liu family!"
Li Zheng looked at Liu Benchu in embarrassment.
"Okay, tell me how to divide this family!" Liu Benchu was afraid that Yan Nian would report to the official for a while, so he could only agree to split up.
"Sandezi also worked for the family before his death, although our mother and son came here later, but the work was not less, and he suffered and tired, and in the end he was almost beaten to death by his mother-in-law, Lord Lizheng, you just watch it!"
"Okay, although the three virtues of this family are gone, there is still this third daughter-in-law, and the property must be distributed to others." Li Zheng swore and said.
Seeing that the Liu family was really going to split up, he was so anxious that he scolded: "Who the hell dares to divide my Liu family, I will fight hard with her!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the stick beside him and rushed forward.
"Shut up!"
Liu Benchu was busy drinking the old woman, and said to Yan Nian: "Third daughter-in-law, what do you say you want?" ”
"The thatched hut we live in was built by me and Sandezi last month, and I can't live here, so I will be paid in silver. In addition, I have been a cow and a horse in the Liu family for a few months, and I have no merit and hard work, please pay me the equivalent of silver. In addition, Sandeko and I came to the village to give me a few fields for my mother to cultivate. ”
"Are you fucking crazy and want a house! Do you lead two wild seeds without eating or drinking? Erqing pointed at Yan Nian and scolded.
"Yes, third daughter-in-law, this house was originally built in the courtyard of the Liu family, your request is too much, right? You can divide the family, you can live in the house, but if you want silver, the Liu family really can't give it to you. In addition, your field was applied for by my son when he was alive, and now that you don't have Sandezi, do you still want to plant? After Liu Benchu heard Yan Nian finish speaking, he was distressed.
"What? Just these two options! You don't want to give me this property, just wait for me to report to the official and dip your son in a pig cage! Yan Nian stood up while picking up the two Xiaobao and was about to go to the town to report to the official.
Seeing this, Liu Benchu hurriedly said loudly: "I have the final say in this family!" I promise you! ”
Yan Nian heard Liu Benchu say this, retracted his foot and said: "Also, I mortgaged a piece of jade pendant that I carried with me when Sandezi was at the funeral, please give me the silver money I want to redeem it." ”
"Okay, I promise you."
"Then please fulfill your promise in front of all the villagers!" Yan Nian was afraid that the people would disperse, and he would no longer be able to control the family.
"I also want to give you silver immediately, but you also know this, San'er has just died, your sister-in-law is about to give birth, Brother Xi is going to private school again, everything has to be dotted with silver, and the family is also nervous, so you can let me for a few days." Liu Benchu's face was embarrassed.
"Just cash in now, my children and I also have to eat, and we have to find a place to stay."
"Why don't you live at home first, and then send you away when I have enough money?"
"Enough! The Liu family, you quickly calculate the money and give it to the mother and son, if you don't go to report to the official, you will have a big deal! Song Bo shouted angrily.
Listening to Li shouting like this, Liu Benchu remembered the matter of reporting to the official again, and was so frightened that he stopped talking.
After careful calculation, in the end, Yan Nian got a total of three taels of silver and sixty copper coins, three acres of thin fields.
After the calculation was finished, Liu Benchu's face was ugly, don't mention it, and ordered in a trembling voice: "The old woman hasn't gone back to the room to get the money out!" ”
Liu reluctantly took out the silver coin, smashed it on Yan Nian's mother and son, and scolded viciously: "Take your wild seeds and get out of Liu's house quickly!" ”
Li Zheng stopped: "Mother-in-law of the Liu family! Now that the matter has been resolved, the two families will have to get along well in the future, after all, they are the daughter-in-law left by Sande. ”
Then, Li Zheng sent the assistant manager of the village to help him go to the field to measure the land, and wrote the documents in duplicate and handed them to Yan Nian and Liu Benchu.
Yan Nian saluted Li Zheng and the villagers, "Thank you Song Bo for acting impartially, Yan Nian is grateful." Thank you folks for speaking fair for Yan Nian. ”
The Lizheng mother-in-law, Qin, who had been watching the anger next to her, hurriedly helped Yan Nian up, "Child, in the future, you will lead the two children to live by yourself, what is there to say to your aunt!" ”
"Thank you, auntie, I must not trouble you in the future."
Looking at the villagers in the courtyard, Li Zheng waved his hand, "Folks, go back, remember, the family must get along in harmony, otherwise today's incident will be your footsteps!" ”
Listening to what Li Zheng said, he all smiled and said, "Our family can't treat our daughter-in-law like this, isn't it his aunt?" The crowd dispersed amid laughter.
Aunt Zhang and the Qin family helped Yan Nian go back to the room to pack her luggage and everything in the house.
Liu watched Yan Nian return to the room, pointed to the door and shouted: "Little slut, you move out of the Liu family quickly, the Liu family will not leave you for a while, hurry up!" ”
Liu Benchu looked at Liu Shi and said sharply: "You are to blame for today's events, and you still have the face to shout?" I'm waiting to go back to the house and settle accounts with you! ”
After shouting, Liu Benchu crossed his waist and went back to the room.
Liu shouted angrily again: "You wait, there will be no good fruit for you to eat in the future!" After shouting, he led the family back to the room with the old man.
Inside the house, Yan Nian put the two Xiaobao on the kang, looked at everything in the house, and shed tears again.
Everything here was arranged by himself and Sande, including the red futon and the portrait of a family of four painted by Fang Mingyu in the village on the wall.
"Okay, if you want to leave, don't look at the separation, I'll go and make peace with you again." Aunt Zhang looked at Yan Nian with a reluctant face and said.
Yan Nian shook his head: "No need, it's good like this, but I remembered Sandezi again." ”
There was nothing to clean up in the house, except for the two bedding, Yan Nian and the clothes of the two Xiaobao, there was nothing else to take away.
After a while, Yan Nian carried two Xiaobao and a large package on his back and left Liu's house, and Aunt Zhang and the Qin family helped to hold the futon and follow behind.
"Yan Nian, where are you going? Otherwise, go to my house and stay for a while, find a good place and then move out. Aunt Zhang said.
"No, Auntie, there are a lot of vacant houses in the village, I have thought about it, the uncle of the old Li family has passed away for many years, and the uncle's family has no children to take over the house, I will go there to live first."
"Can there be people there? It hasn't been repaired for a long time. Qin said worriedly.
"It's okay, as long as you go back and talk to Uncle Song."
"You can rest assured about this, even if you go to live, you can make up for what you need to take over."
A few people turned around and came to the door of a small courtyard overgrown with artemisia grass in the middle of the village.
Looking at the two thatched houses, the window paper had fallen off, and there were two big holes in the roof, Aunt Zhang and the Qin family glanced at each other and sighed in unison.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Yan Nian was just about to step into the courtyard when he saw something slipping into the weeds and disappearing.
Frightened, the two aunts behind him screamed and stepped back, "Oops! What's so scary? ”
