Chapter 16: Moving to a New Home
"Since grandma has no problem, then ask the village chief uncle to help write the family separation letter, my father is the most filial, according to one tael of silver per person per year to honor my grandma, the grain is also according to each person a year two buckets of coarse grain, if grandma is not used to eating, we can also replace two buckets of coarse grain with a bucket of fine grain. We don't separate from the eldest uncle and the second uncle, we do what we have to do. ”
"Hmph, that's what you're supposed to do." Mrs. Ye was dissatisfied.
"Then we will follow what the emperor said, we are not rich in the first place, so let's share the matter of raising grandma with the eldest uncle and the second uncle."
"You little girl, I just said it, but now it's changing." As he spoke, he was going to come up and fight.
"I see that you still dare to be presumptuous, you dare to blatantly beat the child here, then you must not beat the child to death if I am not here." The village chief didn't like Mrs. Ye in the first place, so he would seize the opportunity and not be serious.
"Hmph." Mrs. Ye didn't dare to stumble with the village chief, so she didn't speak later.
"Has Grandma figured it out?"
"Don't listen to your milk, our old couple is not in good health, the third child has the heart to take care of us, how can we live up to the third child's filial piety!"
"That's okay, then ask the village chief and uncle to help write the family separation documents, we can sign it, by the way, grandma, my father has helped you save the silver for so many years, now that the family has been separated, is it time to give my father?"
"What are you talking nonsense, you dead girl? You family, as far as your father brought back, where is left? Mrs. Ye hurriedly said.
"This is the third one you want to divide, you also know the situation in the family, our old couple live in the hall, your eldest brother and sister-in-law live in the east room, and your second brother and sister-in-law live in the west, now you want to split the family, you can't drive our old two out, right?"
"Dad, what did you say?" Ye Laosan hurriedly said to Old Man Ye.
This old man Ye was waiting for Ye Laosan to say this. "Then since you have already thought about separating your family, you must have found a good place to live, in this case, I won't stop you, I hope you cherish yourself, it doesn't matter if you live or die in the future."
Mrs. Ye followed and said: "The wings are all stiff, since you want to fly solo, then I won't stop you, but you can't take anything away from the Ye family, old family, wait for you to watch, don't ask someone to take away the things at home, even a stitch and a thread can't be done." ”
"Okay, mother, don't worry, I will definitely keep a firm eye on the things at home."
This hasn't separated the family yet, this family is doing this, isn't it forcing the third family to death?
The village chief looked at this situation and hurriedly said, "Ye Laosan? Have you found a place? ”
"Huh?" Ye Laosan scratched his head in embarrassment, he was only told about the separation last night, how could he find a place so quickly? Besides, I don't have the ability to find a place on my own.
Looking at Ye Laosan like this, the village chief knew that he hadn't found a place yet, so he simply did a good thing to the end and sent the Buddha to the west, "There is a dilapidated house in the east of the village, the family has long moved to other provinces, and the house has been empty. ”
"Then thank you so much to the village chief, uncle, where is our family still worried!"
"It's all from a village, don't be so polite, everyone will definitely help you get through the difficulties, this is a tael of silver, you take it first, there are still a lot of things to buy at home."
He said to the villagers gathered together: "Don't just watch, do yourself a favor, borrow some money if you have money, borrow some rice if you don't have money, and help the third family survive until autumn first, what kind of the third family, you all know, and I will never lose you." ”
Everyone didn't speak, no one was a rich family, and the family couldn't open the pot if they didn't say that they were poor, but it was almost the same, but a few people who had been helped by Ye Laosan's family and some other villagers secretly went home, and the village chief looked at it and shook his head, but there was nothing he could do.
Mrs. Ye didn't care about the others, she went up and snatched the silver that the village chief gave to Ye Xin'er, and said: "This is my pension money, and I still need your father's share, hurry up and bring it to me." ”
"Mrs. Ye, you're too much, aren't you?"
"What is it better for me for my own son to honor me? If you have the ability, you let my son take it back? ”
How could Ye Laosan take something from Mrs. Ye's hand.
The village chief secretly scolded in his heart that the old Ye family was becoming more and more unruly.
In this way, after signing the separation documents, let the old man Ye press the handprint, and let Ye Laosan press the handprint, and hand it to Ye Xin'er to see, Ye Xin'er knows this word, but she can't realize it, but she just said to the village chief: "I still want my grandmother to press the handprint, lest my grandmother not admit it later, if she doesn't separate from us, then it won't be clear, right?" ”
"Who's going to have anything to do with your family? If you invite me to your house, I won't go. This time, nothing went wrong, Mrs. Ye took the initiative to come up and press her fingerprint.
"Okay, since there is no problem, then that's it, there are three copies in total, I will go to the county tomorrow to prepare a case, and then Ye Laosan will have one copy, Ye Laosan will have one copy, and the village will keep one copy."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle the village chief."
"Alright, alright, let's all go back, don't be here."
"Wait, this girl still has 300 yuan on her, but yesterday they all said that they would honor me."
"Milk, after the autumn harvest, I will definitely give you a lot of filial piety."
"Hmph, I don't believe it. Hurry up and give me the money. ”
"It's okay to give you this money now, but you have to be clear, if we starve to death, where will your pension money come from? Relying on my father alone, do you think you can still get two taels of silver every year? ”
Mrs. Ye's eyes grunted, and she knew that the latter was the big one, you know, in this era, many families are not giving pension money, and some of them also specialize in the idea of beating the old couple, not to mention how happy it is to think that there will be two taels of silver into the waist every year in the future, and now it is not so anxious.
Ye Xin'er and Duo'er helped Fahrenheit to get up, and went back to the room to clean up their things, saying that they were cleaning up things, but in fact, there were only a few torn clothes, and nothing else was taken, so as not to make trouble for Mrs. Ye later.
As soon as a few people came out of the gate of the courtyard, they saw Liu blocking over there, this Liu seemed to be fatter than before, standing there alone, no one could pass through that door.
"The old lady asked me to check, let me see if there are any thieves in the house, oh no, there are no thieves in the house, there will be no third child in this house in the future." said that she came over to force the burden, but Ye Duoer was unwilling to give it to her.
"Eldest sister, just show her. Otherwise, I won't be able to get out today. ”
Ye Duoer reluctantly handed over the burden.
"That's right!" As he spoke, he quickly turned over the burden, and when he said the three hundred Wen today, he was also at the scene, and he didn't know which turtle son stole his money last time, and now he doesn't want to save some money.
But just those two burdens turned over and over, and I didn't see any of them, so angry that Liu stared, but there was no way, I couldn't search a few people, right?
Hey, why can't you, so he said to Fahrenheit and the others: "You are wearing such thick clothes, how do I know if you have hidden things in your clothes?" ”
"Isn't the eldest aunt trying to search us? Still thinking about the 300 yuan? Don't hide it from my aunt, I didn't bring the money home at all, and my aunt can't find anything even if she searches for God, so it's better not to waste that time. ”
"Who said I wanted the three hundred dollars, don't spray people with blood." Saying this, Liu was no longer in the mood to search his body, so he asked a few people to leave quickly.
Ye Xin'er, Xiaoyu and Duo'er are fetching water to clean the house, Ziyan and her father are busy blocking the broken place with grass, although it is spring, but it is still very cold, no one lives in this house all year round, the roof is exposed, and the windows are windy.
Several people were busy, but they were all happy in their hearts, they didn't have to be tortured anymore, and they didn't have to eat to look at people's eyes, Fahrenheit looked at the brown rice in the kitchen, although it was not a good thing, but now it was good to be able to eat it, this was secretly sent by the villagers who went back, so as not to be too ostentatious, and it was taken by Mrs. Ye, as well as the village chief's daughter-in-law, Aunt Li sent ten eggs, Fahrenheit didn't want to take it, but Aunt Li said to give it to Tong Tong to eat, Fahrenheit looked at Tong Tong, and didn't mention that he was sorry for this child, so he accepted it, said to Aunt Li: "Sister-in-law Li, don't worry, I will definitely return this egg to you in the future." ”
"It's all from the villagers, what are you doing, the one in my family said, saying that your family will be a good girl in the future, and you will wait to enjoy the happiness in the future."
"What's the matter, Miss Xin is also a child with a hard life, please thank the village chief for helping when Sister-in-law Li goes back, and I will definitely come to thank you another day."
"You're welcome, he's the village chief, and this is what he should have done."
"Yu Village Chief, this is a gesture, but for our family, this is the kindness that saved our family, no matter how you say it, you can't forget it."
Seeing that Fahrenheit was so reasonable, Sister-in-law Li felt that her own one was not nosy, and she would have to help this family more in the future. After saying goodbye to Fahrenheit, he went back.
"Aunt Li, thank you, slow down on the way back."
"It's okay, look at your sweet mouth, go back quickly."
"Hey." As he spoke, he ran to the kitchen, saw the eggs placed on the stove, and guessed that it was given by Aunt Li, this village chief's family is really a good person, and he will have to take care of it more in the future.
"Mother, this egg was sent by Aunt Li, right?"
"Yes, the family is reluctant to eat, but they still bring it to us, and we must remember this kindness in the future."
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely repay this kindness."
Tong Tong looked at the egg from the side.
"Do you want to eat eggs?" Ye Xin'er asked.
Tong Tong turned his head to look at Hua'er, then at Ye Xin'er, but didn't speak.
Ye Xin'er knew that Tong Tong definitely wanted to eat, in the Ye family, only grandma ate a boiled egg every day, and sometimes ate steamed eggs, Tong Tong secretly stared at it every time.
