Chapter 60: Separation

The staff was speechless and embarrassed.

Speaking ill of King Rui?

Not to mention others, His Royal Highness King Zhao is not allowed.

"Aze can toss those of us who are uncles, we ...... They owe it to him. ”

King Zhao was resentful, and still asked someone to take the fifth young master to the barracks.

Since then, Murong Qing has started daily training, complaining bitterly, and his father Zhao Wang, who has always doted on him, no matter how Murong Qing begged and cheated, King Zhao was indifferent.

In the courtyard of the farmhouse, early in the morning, the old lady beckoned her daughters-in-law to get up and thoroughly clean the courtyard house.

"Xi'er loves cleanliness the most, and she can't stand the slightest bit of dirty, and the third family is leading a few girls to wipe the house again."

"Go to the kitchen and take a look, Xi'er's favorite meat porridge will be cooked first, don't be reluctant to put the meat, do what I teach you."

"Old Everyone's ......"

The old lady looked at the honest eldest daughter-in-law, "Hey, you can stay in your own house today, it's too ugly, Xi'er doesn't like it." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law looked lost, and she stretched a corner uneasily, "Mother, look at me, it's better than when I entered the door, I specially bought incense powder, made new clothes, cleaned up neatly, you just let me kowtow to my father." ”

"Today's old man's birthday is to make the old man happy, hoping that he can live a long life, if Xi'er is scared by you, can the old man be happy?"

The old lady said, "You can kowtow to the old man in your room in a moment." ”

"Mother-"

"You feel sorry for your daughter-in-law?"

The old lady said to the eldest son who suddenly interjected: "At the end of the year, only me and the old man will come back for birthday and Chinese New Year's Eve, and we will meet no more than five times in total, you are the eldest brother who does not say that he protects his brother, but protects his daughter-in-law, are you worthy of Xi'er?" ”

The honest man slowly squatted down and listened to the old lady's accusations.

"Our family has today, it all depends on Xi'er's struggle, I couldn't even eat enough food before, but now I don't have to go to farming often to have rice to eat, and I can also hire long-term workers when I am busy farming."

The old lady pinched her waist and raised her voice: "Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the dishes and chopsticks and don't let Xi'er go well, quickly divide it!" ”

Separation?

The eldest daughter-in-law's eyes lit up slightly.

The eldest son usually accounts for 50% or even 70% of the family's land.

The old Gu family has not purchased land for many years.

Even if they suffer a loss in the long house, only accounting for fifty percent, they can still be a landlord.

So that the slave calls the maid, and the life is not worried.

How can it be that now that the family is having a good time, the old lady still instructs her daughters-in-law to work.

Washing laundry and cooking, picking vegetables and feeding chickens, although the work of beating grass and feeding pigs was handed over to long-term workers.

However, the families whose families have less property than the Gu family have bought a lot of slaves and maids to serve, and they don't have to work at all.

Every time the eldest daughter-in-law mentioned it, she would be scolded back by the old lady, saying, I was used to doing it back then, but now that I am clear, I want to do no work at all?

Not only are these daughters-in-law not idle, but the old man occasionally carries a hoe to go around the fields.

Gu Laosan naturally followed in his father's footsteps, Gu Laosan learned the ability to kill pigs, opened a shop in the town, and did not stop killing pigs and selling meat because of the family's large farmland.

Gu Laosi went to learn carpenter that day, and also opened a shop in the town, and he was also busy every day, boasting from time to time that his second brother Gu Xi, who was very famous in Guangzhou City.

With Gu Xi's name, the business in Gu Laosi's shop has been very good.

The furniture he made with his own hands sold very well, because they were all praised by Gu Xi.

The third and fourth did not live in the town, and walked several miles to open a shop in the town every day.

In the past, they went out before dawn, but now that business is good, and the family does not expect them to make money to support them, they have left a man in the store, and as long as the morning passes, they will not delay the business.

"I'm not going to get out!"

"Mother, I don't want to break up."

Gu Laosan and Gu Laosi were anxious when they heard this, "It's good to live together, isn't marrying a daughter-in-law back to be filial to your mother and father?" ”

The third and fourth daughters-in-law who had entered the city also shook their heads in unison and said that they would never move out.

Only the eldest daughter-in-law said softly: "If the family is separated, the father and mother will still be the father, and we will be as filial......"

"Bastard, loser's, I'll just say why the boss doesn't keep quiet, the co-authorship is all instigated by you behind your back."

The old lady raised her hand and hit the eldest daughter-in-law.

Although their family settled in the south, they fled in the first place.

Therefore, the old lady is particularly spicy and arrogant, and she has also done it to her daughter-in-law.

"Mother-"

Boss Gu stood in front of his daughter-in-law and slapped the old lady a few times, "You dissipate your anger, I didn't mean to split up." ”

"Brother An, persuade your grandmother."

Gu An stopped the old lady, "The second uncle should be displeased to see you like this in a while, grandmother, you go and change your clothes first, dress up neatly and richly, and the second uncle may be able to come back several times a year." ”

Gu An, the eldest son and grandson of the old lady, the young man who was scared away by the Jiang family still has a lot of weight in the Gu family.

"For the sake of you giving birth to a good grandson, I will spare you first, and then I will leave the work of cooking and washing dishes to you, I can't do it well...... Hmph, I let the boss take a break from you! ”

The eldest daughter-in-law, Qian, looked aggrieved and said weakly: "Yes." ”

The old lady looked around at her son and daughter-in-law, "It's not that I'm partial to Xi'er, which of you has Xi'er's appearance?" Which one has his talents? ”

"The people in the city are so shrewd, but they all admire Xi'er, how many people envy you for being brothers with Xi'er."

The old lady's waist was straight and full of energy, "Giving birth to Xi'er, I am the hero of the old Gu family!" ”

Gu family: "......"

Old man Gu had a dark complexion and a lean body, knocked on the cigarette pouch, and said: "Let's flee here, the boss and Xi'er were still young at that time, and when they came here, they were also nobles who saw that Xi'er was born well, so they made an exception for us to settle down, so as not to become a displaced person who was driven away." ”

Only those who settle down are eligible to own land.

"The two acres of land that day to feed the whole family were also the sweetest exchange for Xi'er, and later, although I bought some land one after another, but I couldn't catch up with the field property sent by Xi's daughter-in-law before getting married, these ten years, the income of the field has raised the whole family, no longer starving and suffering, the grandchildren can go to school, and you don't need to do more farm work."

Old man Gu pondered for a while and said, "The tree is big and forked, the big people are divided, I don't have to expect you to be filial to your mother, this family will be divided sooner or later." ”

"Grandfather, today is your birthday, and I'll talk about these things later."

Gu An suggested softly, and the grandsons of the Gu family nodded in unison.

Old man Gu took a puff of dry tobacco this time and spit out a few smoke rings, "While I'm still confused, let's explain a few words about the separation of the family first, maybe I won't wake up one day, so I will go directly." ”

Boss Gu knelt down, tears rolling down his honest face: "Dad, my son is wrong, don't say such things, my son won't mention the separation of the family again." ”
