Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Turmoil of Family Separation I
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, all back off."
The master in the yamen took the official to drive the people in front of the notice board, and quickly posted the notice and asked the master to read it.
"What's written on this?"
"Wait, there will be an official who will read it in a while."
When the master saw that the notice was posted, there were more and more onlookers, and he coughed: "Big guy, be quiet, now this master will read to everyone what is written on this notice." ”
"The fourth prince Liu Chen has excellent moral character, both civil and military, and the emperor's grace is mighty, and he is specially named the king of Qin, and he hopes that Ruge will be loyal to the country with due diligence. Report to the state, and go down to the people. Don't live up to the grace of God! Go to Taiyuan Province before the end of the month. I hereby inform you. ”
After the master finished reading, he turned around and left with the servant.
But the crowd of onlookers rushed up, regardless of whether they were literate or not, looking at the notices, talking about each other.
Lin Mei and the two parted ways when they walked into the town, carrying tofu to Nanji, which is equivalent to the vegetable market in the previous life.
After choosing a vacant place, I unloaded the tofu and set it up.
The stalls on the left and right sides are vegetable farmers selling vegetables, and on the opposite side is a meat stall. Not to mention that Lin Meixuan's position is still good.
As soon as it was set up, someone stepped forward to ask for the price.
Lin Mei had already thought about it before she came, and the tofu was cut into squares in advance according to the method of the previous life, about six taels a piece, and three cents a piece, deducting beans and firewood, the gross profit was a penny, which was not expensive, and it was much cheaper than eating meat.
When the guest heard it, it was only three articles, such a large piece, it was really cost-effective, and he bought four pieces in one go.
Lin Mei's opening business is done.
When other guests saw that someone was buying, they also stepped forward one after another, you have two yuan, he has three yuan, and after a while, more than half of the tofu will be sold.
Lin Mei also asked the guests from time to time if they needed bean sprouts, and if they did, they would bring bean sprouts to sell tomorrow.
I didn't bring bean sprouts today, because Daddy Lin was afraid that he would do business on the first day, and the business would not be good, so he would have to pick it back.
Unexpectedly, everyone was very interested in the bean sprouts that Lin Mei said. Some people also asked Lin Mei how to make bean sprouts, and Lin Mei was not stupid and said that beans were made. The man couldn't ask anything when he saw it, so he left unwillingly.
Due to the good business, it has also attracted a lot of business to the vegetable farmers on both sides. Before leaving, the vegetable farmer happily gave a handful of cabbage seedlings and leeks, and Lin Mei sent a piece of tofu back to each person.
But some people were not happy, and the guests who originally bought meat saw that there was tofu and bought tofu. The proprietress on the meat stall had a gloomy face, staring at Lin Mei, looking and looking, as if she had to see something.
Lin Mei didn't know that someone was watching her, the business was too good, and she didn't care about it, she didn't bring much tofu today, so she had three boards, and soon the last two pieces were bought. Packed up and walked back.
As soon as she returned home, the fourth aunt ran over in a hurry.
"Meizi, Meizi, are you at home, tell you a happy event......" Wang said excitedly.
"The fourth aunt just picked up the silver, so happy." Lin Mei said jokingly.
"If only I could really pick up silver...... Wang said casually when he saw Lin Mei quip.
"Have you heard, now it's spread all over the village, and the third child of the Fang family is clamoring to split up." Wang Shile pulled Lin Mei and said a lot of gossip in the village.
Lin Mei sorted out Wang's words and understood.
The Fang family was originally three brothers, and the conscription boss also went, but he never returned, there were only two brothers left in the family, and the father of the Fang family also died five years ago, the second child learned the mason's craft from Fang Dad since he was a child, and when the Fang family's father was still there, he took him everywhere to find work to earn money, after Fang Dad went, Fang Lao Er learned from Fang Dad and his two sons to find work everywhere, and he also hoped that the two sons could pass on this craft.
The work of the family falls on the shoulders of the third family, and the third family has always had grievances against such a distribution.
Mrs. Fang is in the mud at home, Mrs. Fang's partiality towards the second family also has her reasons, in her view, the boss is gone, and she will definitely have to live with the second family in the future, every time the second child earns money back, she has to give her money ranging from 300 to 500, if she meets the owner's generosity, she can also get some reward. This day is a significant gap compared to the third child's family, who eats and lives at home and does not pay the silver.
You must know that Fang's family has a lot of land, and there are eight acres of medium paddy fields and six acres of dry land in the ancestral inheritance.
These lands are now basically taken care of by the old three families. There are only six people in the third family, Fang Laosan and Gu's plus two sons and two daughters, but Zhang Hehua feels that the third family has a lot of food, and naturally has to do more. The wind was blowing in Mrs. Fang's ear, and let her two and a half children follow his father to learn the craft and earn money.
As soon as Mrs. Fang heard that there was money to earn, where was there any reason to disagree, plus Zhang Lotus said that there were many children in the third family, so she had to prevent the Gu family from secretly opening a small stove, and Zhang Lotus was responsible for the work in the kitchen, and Mrs. Fang also ate Zhang Lotus to steal and play tricks. Gu is a foreign-married daughter, and she fought a few years before marriage, but later saw that her mother-in-law was partial, so she gave up.
From the fight between Zhang Lotus and Lin Mei, the grudge between the Gu clan and Zhang Lotus escalated, and they hated more than they hated to the bone, and they almost didn't bite alive. Zhang Lotus has no daughter, only two boys, but the Gu family has two girls, seeing that they are going to say goodbye in a few years, the Gu family is anxious like ants on the hot pot, and because Zhang Lotus usually likes to play with right and wrong, the rational people are close to their family, not to mention that they are still in trouble and are grounded in the ancestral hall, and the reputation of the Fang family is becoming more and more ugly.
Fang Lao Er went home and fought with Fang Lao San, which directly became the fuse of the Gu family's separation.
The Gu family wanted to take the opportunity to divide the family, otherwise when Zhang Lotus came back, he might have to leave the house if he wanted to divide the family. Every day at home, Mrs. Fang proposed to split up, but Mrs. Fang disagreed, and sat in the yard every day to point at Sang and scold Huai.
So the matter of splitting up the family started in the village, and the people in the village were waiting to see the Fang family's jokes again, Mrs. Fang was ruthless and agreed to divide the family, but it had to be divided according to the three brothers, Mrs. Fang's original words were "He Lin and the second can come back, in case the eldest comes back, he doesn't get anything, and he can't divide it again, so he simply divides it into three parts, one for each of the three brothers, and the old family's is managed by the second family."
When Fang said this, he also pursed his lips and said, "My heart has gone to the edge of the sky, and I am not afraid that Boss Fang will come back to her in the middle of the night to ask for it." ”
But the Gu clan disagreed, the Gu clan went back directly, saying that Boss Fang was really back, she was not afraid of trouble, she could divide it again, and Boss Fang was seventeen years old when he left, and Fang Laosan was only five years old, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Laosan is the eldest brother who has led the eldest brother, and his brothers have had a good relationship since childhood.
Because the matter of the separation of the family was not discussed, the Gu family began to go on strike yesterday, the fields were gone, the housework was not done, the domestic animals in the family were hungry and screaming, and the neighbors had opinions.
No wonder Gu Muqing has time to come to the house to help with the work, and said that his father will come to Yangshu Village in a few days, and he dares to be in love to support his sister-in-law, Lin Mei wandered.
Lin Mei said she was not interested in the Fang family's separation, but she was very happy that Wang could think of telling her, and brought four pieces of tofu to Wang, saying that it was good that Wang was here, otherwise she would have to run and let Wang take it home to add a dish to her cousins.
Wang saw that there was something to take, thinking that this trip had not been in vain, and went home happily, and when he left, he said that there was still any excitement in the village and came to tell Lin Mei again.
