Chapter 54: The dragon swings its tail
Aunt Mei, who was hiding behind the curtain, came out with her belly and said: "Didn't my grandfather and my grandmother leave a courtyard in the west of the village, and the house was given to the eldest sister-in-law and Sister Qiu, there are five houses alone, and the courtyard is big, compared to our current courtyards, all the courtyards are bright, and the eldest sister-in-law and Sister Qiu are orphans and widows, and we don't fight with them for that house." The last sentence is full of friendship, and I don't know how generous Aunt Mei is.
"Why did you get out? Get inside! "Second Uncle Mei is in a hurry, what if he gets sick?
Aunt Mei's second aunt came out because she was afraid that Mei Tang would be cowardly at a critical moment, and her words were not good, so she quickly finished talking about her own plan, and hurriedly went back to the west room.
Sister Qiu was anxious, "Milk, second uncle, why did you split up at this time?" How could I not divide my mother's health before, but now my mother's illness is so bad, I can't divide it! β
"Little girl! Do you have the right to interject when adults speak? Second Uncle Mei said with a tiger face, "Why can't you divide it?" It's long overdue, and now it's just right! Your grandfather's and grandmother's house belongs to you, it's more than here, and it's all cheaper for your mothers and mothers, and you don't know enough?! β
"The house of the grandfather and grandmother has not been inhabited for decades, the house has long been broken, and it can't be inhabited at all!" Sister Qiu shouted at the top of her voice, "Second uncle, you are bullying people!" When my father was alive, why didn't you call the family to split up when you gave Da Niu and Erniu rice noodles? When my mother is in good health and can work, why don't you call the family separate? Now that my mother is sick, are you going to throw me out of my mother? Second uncle, do you still have some conscience? β
"Little bunny!" Second Uncle Mei was so angry that he stretched out his palm and wanted to hit someone, but Lin Zhun stopped him. Although Lin Zhun is only 14 years old, he is tall and strong, holding the arm of Second Uncle Mei, Second Uncle Mei struggled a few times and did not break away, and angrily pointed at Lin Zhun and shouted: "You are our Mei family?" I'll tell you not to meddle in things, otherwise Uncle will be unkind to you, hurry back to your house, there's nothing to do with you here! β
"Second uncle, splitting up the family is a big deal, so you have to come over to divide it." Lin Zhun pursed his lips and slowly put down Second Uncle Mei's arm. The Jiang family and the Mei family have been neighbors for many years, he only knew that Second Uncle Mei was lazy and idle, but he didn't expect his mind to be so vicious.
The Mei family has been noisy and muttering for so long, there have already been a bunch of villagers who have watched the excitement around the door and pointed down, most of the villagers are mellow, even if there are idle people, there is also a set of moral standards in their hearts, most of them are all scolding Mei Lao Er and Mao's conscience, usually calling the eldest daughter-in-law and calling livestock, and now seeing the daughter-in-law and the child sick can't do it, don't give medical treatment, but also throw people out. However, it is because of face, and because of Mao's powerful and unforgiving mouth, few people dare to say it, in the end, it is the housework of the Mei family, it is okay to look at the excitement, and it is okay to talk about it behind the scenes, but it is not appropriate to say it in person.
Seeing the lively people, they called Lali Zheng, Lin Cheng and Aunt Chunhua also rushed from the field, picked up the crowd and squeezed in, pulled Lin Zhun and asked, "Da Zhun, what's going on?" I heard someone say that the Mei family is going to be separated? β
Lin Zhun glanced at Second Uncle Mei, who was blushing and thick-necked, and said softly: "Second Uncle wants to divide the family, and I want Sister Qiu to separate from the uncle's mother, and give them the courtyard of Sister Qiu and her grandfather in the west of the village." β
"How can that work?" Aunt Chunhua frowned, and discussed with Mei Tang in a good voice, "Yindi's father, your sister-in-law and niece are separated, how can they live?" β
Second Uncle Mei was scolded twice, ignoring Chunhua, the Jia family couldn't survive in the first place, and at this moment, waiting to be separated is nothing more than to make the big guys look good.
Some of the onlookers at the door couldn't bear it anymore, and asked loudly: "Second Mei, Mrs. Lao Xiucai and Sister Qiu have separated, what should you do with the debts owed by your family to Lao Xiucai?" β
Second Uncle Mei took a look, it was Furong who married into Xiaohe Town in the past two years, and when Mei Liang was doing things after his death, Mao went to her house to borrow a tael of silver.
Before Second Uncle Mei opened his mouth, someone among the onlookers smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, daughter-in-law Furong?" That must be Mei Lao Er and Mei Lao Mi to pay it back, where is there a debt called the orphans and widows of women's Taoist families? β
Mei Tang's eyes were red, and he waved his arm to point to the direction of the East House, and shouted, "What are you talking nonsense! That's a debt owed to her man to do things, and naturally their mothers will pay it back! It can't be my turn! β
Furong is 8 years old, she is a vulgar and clever little daughter-in-law, hearing Uncle Mei say this, she was immediately unhappy, "That's not okay, we can't control how you divide the family, how to divide the love, you can divide the previous debts owed to us first, otherwise no one can agree, do you say yes?" β
What are you kidding, I heard that Mrs. Lao Xiucai was very sick, and even invited the two Langzhong to say that they couldn't save it, the Mei family was not kind, and it didn't count if they threw the dying old Xiucai out, and they still wanted to rely on their accounts? Think beautifully! The good thing to say is that Mrs. Xiucai and Sister Qiu will pay back the money, and then the adults will be gone, and only a 10-year-old child will be left, what will you pay back? Can they still sell other people's old talents?
Li Zheng stood silently on the side and smoked a cigarette, the head of the village divided the family into a sea of people, there was a calm discussion with the early discussion on how to divide it, there were noisy and even fighting, he was Li Zheng for many years, saw the sea to go, in most cases, he was a witness, signed the deed of separation.
How to divide the family is a family matter, even if he is Lizheng, he has no right to interfere, but the situation of the Mei family is different today, morally speaking, he can't be ruthless, Mrs. Xiucai is a poor person, it sounds good to divide the family, and it is a little ugly, that is, the person is not dead, so he has to throw people out. Moreover, he is also the creditor of the Mei family, and the Mei family owes him two taels of silver! If this debt follows Jia's family, he will definitely not come back, even if his family is well-off, two taels of silver is not a small amount, and he cannot afford to lose it.
"Your family, if you want to divide it, or add it up from the new." Li Zheng preached.
However, his voice was very quickly drowned in the quarrels of everyone, and for a while, the courtyard of the Mei family was full of noise, and the second uncle Mei and the Mao family were wide-eyed, full of firepower, and the creditors of the Mei family were blushing and thick-necked, and each had their own reason. Mao's has always been fierce, and all the ugly dirty words are spoken, but no one scares her for this work, it is related to the real money, no one takes the dirty words in Mao's mouth too seriously, and it is useless for Mao's scolding to be ugly.
"Mrs. Mei, as a person with a conscience, who doesn't know what kind of temper Mrs. Xiucai has? Everyone knows how you treat other people's old Xiucai ladies. Mrs. Xiucai has done the most work in your house, and she has lived the worst, and now you are sick and you have to throw people out, there is no such thing in our Xiaohe Town! Aunt Mancang couldn't stand it, and said a fair word in a loud voice.
Sister Qiu's fire is almost burned to this time, Mao's and Second Uncle Mei are not reasonable, and if they continue to quarrel, they are afraid that they will not be able to divide the family, and Jia's illness will not be able to pretend for a long time, and the method of heating with stones will sooner or later be recognized by Mao, and the consequences will be miserable, Mao and Second Uncle Mei are angry, and they will beat her and Jia to death.
"Don't argue yet, my mother is still sick!" Sister Qiu called, but everyone was only arguing, and no one paid attention to her, so Lin Zhun hurriedly shouted, "Big guy, be quiet first, Sister Qiu has something to say." β
Sister Qiu pulled Lin Zhun's palm with gratitude, and asked Mao and Second Uncle Mei: "Is it because I and my mother are in debt, and we will split up, and from then on, we will go our separate ways, it doesn't matter anymore?" β
"That's it!" Second Uncle Mei raised his chin and said, "If you divide your family, you will have your own family, and whoever is good and who is not good depends on everyone's ability!" β
Sister Qiu nodded, and she was relieved to have you, "Okay, I'm happy to split up." It's just that the land at home is given to us, and I'm going to sell it to my mother's health!" β
The last sentence was added by her whim. It can be seen from everyone's attitude that a 10-year-old Nizi has no influence, otherwise the creditors will not only quarrel with Mao and Meitang, no one will ask her what she means, if she is too calm, but a little confused.
Nothing was kicked out of the house for the family, and there was no stuttering, and the 10-year-old Xiao Nizi should be scared and frightened, but if she started from a naΓ―ve point of view, then what she did would become reasonable.
Jia's sick guy is all clear in his heart, it can't be cured, everyone can give up on her, only Sister Qiu will not give up on her, without Jia's family, Sister Qiu will really become a child without a father and mother, and no one in the Mei family can protect her. Sister Qiu has no money, and Mao's doesn't pay. Sister Qiu wants to treat her mother, so she wants to make money, and the 10-year-old lady can only think of selling land to make money.
"Stink!" Second Uncle Mei crossed his waist and scolded, and his fingers almost pointed at Sister Qiu's face, "You are also worthy of a girl's film?" The surname of the Mei family is Mei, and they are big cows and two cows! A handful of dirt is not your share! β
Before Second Uncle Mei finished speaking, Second Aunt Mei's sharp and rapid voice came from the west room, and it was extremely high-pitched in the quiet courtyard of the Mei family, "The land is not given to them!" β
Aunt Mei is a smart person, although she is illiterate and uneducated, but she tightly grasps the rules of this society, she gave birth to a son, she can override the head of the sister-in-law who did not give birth to a son, she is dissatisfied with Mao, but she is still respectful to her mother-in-law on the outside, she looks down on her husband Mei Tang, and scolds him in private, but outside, she has never crossed Mei Tang to say a word.
