Chapter 40 "The Gray Family"
Seeing that the villagers were talking with each other, Li Guizhi and the others were a little anxious. So before she could speak quietly, she stood in the crowd and squeaked first, "Jing girl, what do you think you are doing?" We don't mean anything else here. Anyway, we're all a family. Although Li Guizhi was afraid of quiet, for the sake of this big house, he still forced out a smiling face and said to the quiet.
"Isn't Aunt An's ears bad? As I have already said, we have long since broken off our relationship, and we are not a family. ”
"Humph! What is the separation? What severance? It's just to teach you that you didn't listen to your elders at the beginning, and now it's time to return. You are a girl's family, how can you live? When is it home? Ah, that's it. Mrs. An said with a hammer.
The old lady's words made everyone in the Lao An family show a smug face, and they were all thinking in their hearts, what if you are quiet and powerful? I don't have to listen to my elders yet. The old lady's words, if you want to score, you will score. If I want you to go back, you have to go back. If you dare not listen, you will be disobedient and unfilial. Those who are disobedient and unfilial will be beaten to the government if they are sued.
Listening to Mrs. An's words, looking at their smug faces, she turned around quietly and whispered a few words to the second sister. An An nodded, turned and ran into the house. Quietly, then he said to this shameless, daydreaming family, "I'm afraid that I will disappoint the old lady's family, and get back together, let you occupy our house and our land, and then treat our four sisters and brothers as slaves?" To tell you the truth, it's impossible. Quietly said, he stretched out his hand to take the letter of severance handed over by Anxin, shook it and held it up to everyone.
On the severance letter, the big red seal of the government is squarely printed on it. At this moment, the people of Lao An's family, including the villagers behind him who were watching the excitement, were dumbfounded. They never thought that Tranquility would take the deed of severance to the government for filing.
There are two kinds of deeds, red deed and white deed, and the white deed belongs to the deed established by oneself, as long as there is an intermediary. However, it has no legal effect and is not protected by the law. The Red Deed, on the other hand, is recognized and protected by the Law. Of course, it costs one or two pieces of silver to apply for a red deed. When there is anything going on in the countryside, most of them find the village chief, or find a respected old man in the village to be a witness, and make a white deed. No one will spend a silver or two to go to the government for the record because of a deed.
The people of the old An family hated it so much, looking at this brand-new and magnificent courtyard, but they couldn't live in it, and their hearts were dripping blood. But they didn't dare to make trouble, first, they were afraid of quiet, and second, they were afraid of the government. If they really forced their way in, with the ruthlessness of quieting this dead girl, they would dare to sue them to the government. At that point, a board will not be able to run. If you don't get it right, you will have to squat in prison for a few days and eat prison meals for several days. Therefore, they could only go down the hill and return to the village under the leadership of Mrs. An. Didn't even dare to say a superfluous word.
When the villagers saw that everyone was gone, there was no excitement to see, and they all followed behind Lao An's family and walked down the slope. Different from the thoughts of Lao An's family, the villagers thought in their hearts that this quiet girl was really not simple. At a young age, he sees things so clearly. I'm afraid that I already knew that Lao An's family would have this out, so I changed the white deed to a red deed, in order to guard against Lao An's hand. After all, for the inaction of Lao An's family, not only the four quiet sisters and brothers, but also the villagers have heard of it.
On this night, the villagers of Qingshan Village had gossip to talk about after dinner.
Unlike the old Anjia, who was so angry that they had a heartache and insomnia, the four quiet sisters and brothers fell asleep beautifully in the spacious new house.
Time flies like a white dog, and autumn comes in a blink of an eye. The wheat in the field is ripe, and the villagers who have planted the wheat are busy harvesting in the field. The children, who could not cut wheat, took baskets and carried baskets to the ground to gather ears of wheat. But don't underestimate these children, they pick up for a day, it's enough to eat a meal of white flour steamed buns at home.
The quiet family did not grow wheat, so the sisters were very idle. Sitting quietly on the couch in front of the window, leaning on a large pillow behind him, the book in his hand has not turned a page for a long time. If you look closely, you will see that her eyes are fixed in one direction and never turn. Apparently she was thinking about something.
Silence is indeed thinking about the mind. She thought that the house had been built, and the big things that were pressing on her heart had finally been resolved. Thinking that it is inconvenient to go to and from town without a car on weekdays, I always go to other people's houses to borrow a car, and I am a little embarrassed to be quiet. She thought again that the autumn harvest would be in a while, and with the ox cart, the four siblings would be more relaxed. Also, tomorrow is the day when the third brother Jiaming goes to school, and if he has an ox cart, it will be more convenient to pick up and drop off Jiaming. In short, an oxcart is needed everywhere. Thinking about it like this, the idea of buying an ox cart became more and more urgent.
Early the next morning, the four sisters and brothers dressed up neatly and took the Huaihua's ox cart to the town at the entrance of the village.
There are still a lot of people who go to the market today, and there is a car full of people. Someone saw that the four quiet sisters and brothers were dressed neatly, and Jiaming was wearing a long shirt and carrying a bookbag. asked curiously, "Jing girl, this Jiaming is dressed like this, but he is going to study in the academy in the town?" ”
"What my aunt said is exactly that today is the day of the opening of the town college, and Jiaming is also old, and when my mother was alive, she always hoped that my third brother could read and write. Now that I have some money to spare, I want to fulfill my mother's last wish. ”
Another person in the car took over the conversation and said with a sigh, "Your mother, you are a literate and hyphenated person." It's a pity that my fate is not good, so I went early. However, fortunately, you are a talented girl, and you have lived a good life with your younger siblings. Now that I can send Jiaming to study in the town, your mother, it's time to look at the knowledge under the spring! ”
"You girl is capable, it's not easy to pull your younger siblings, and now you have to send Jiaming to study, your eldest sister is qualified!" The woman said and turned her head to look at Jiaming, "Jiaming, it's not easy for your eldest sister to pull you up, and now I'm sending you to study, you have to study hard!" In the future, you can't forget your eldest sister's kindness. ”
"I will definitely study hard and strive to get fame as soon as possible to repay my sister for her nurturing kindness." Jiaming, who said this, had an extremely solemn expression on his face, his eyes were firm, and his small body was straight and straight.
In fact, where is the reward for quietness? She just wants to do her best so that her younger siblings can live a good life, be able to read and write, and have their own skills. In the future, I will be able to live well with my skills. In this way, it is not in vain for her hard work, and she is worthy of their parents and relatives.
