Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Final Separation (Recommend Additions, Ask for Votes)
When Hu Luo heard this, he glanced at Xu Xiulan on the ground, her left face was already swollen, but the slap print on it was still there.
"Dad, split up, things are like this, it's not appropriate to live together again, instead of looking at each other and hating each other, it's better to split up and everyone will be fine."
Hu Luo said this sentence with difficulty, the injury on Xiulan's face was because Wen Li grabbed Wen Zhen's silver hairpin, and when his mother helped Wen Li, Xiulan said that she was separated in a hurry, and was slapped by her mother.
He knew how much his wife wanted to split up, and he knew that both his son and daughter wanted to split up.
He can no longer ignore the wishes of his wife and children, since they all want to split up, he, as a father, can't just care about his own face and let his wife and children be wronged.
"You really thought about it, you brought up the matter of splitting up, don't regret it!" Seeing that Hu Luo didn't even hesitate and struggle, Father Hu proposed to split up, and suddenly felt a little unwilling and discouraged.
This son, whom he has suppressed for more than ten years, is he going to get out of his control this time, he disagrees, he will let him know the price of splitting up.
"Okay, now that you've decided, Hu Feng, you go and invite the lieutenant chief and the two patriarchs to be witnesses." Hu Feng went with a gloomy face.
Seeing that Hu Feng went to invite someone, the two brothers of the Xu family hurriedly helped Xu Xiulan into the room and placed Xu Xiulan back in the West Chamber, and the two brothers of the Xu family comforted Hu Luo again.
Half an hour later, the chief and the two elders of the Hu family came, and after everyone sat down, the chief got straight to the point and said: "I heard that you are going to split up today, let's talk about it, what kind of charter it is." ”
Old man Hu and Mrs. Hu had already discussed it just now, and at this time, Old Man Hu said indifferently: "Chief, that's the case, these two brothers are also big to see, as the saying goes, the tree has big branches, and the children will always eat in a pot when they grow up." So I'm going to divide them today, I'll follow the old wife and my wife in the future. ”
"As for the property, the yard is this one, since we will follow the second child in the future, so this house will not be distributed to the boss, as for the cash, the family does the tofu business, there is not much income in a month, plus the daily expenses are also a lot, and the only twenty taels of silver in this family are not divided, so it should be the pension money left for us."
When the lieutenant chief and the two clan elders heard this, they couldn't help frowning, this old man Hu meant that he planned to let the big house go out of the house, which was a bit too much.
The chief couldn't help but speak: "It's a bit unfair to divide the family in this way, the big house is equivalent to leaving the house, and Hu Luo himself has inconvenient legs and feet, how do you live after you let this family be separated." ”
Hu Pozi couldn't help but interject: "Since they dare to mention the separation, they should think of this consequence, besides, aren't there still their wives and brothers to take refuge in, don't you see that those two are here now." After Mrs. Hu finished speaking, she also glanced at the Xu brothers.
Seeing this, the brothers of the Xu family didn't care about her, as long as the third sister could successfully divide the family today, they could still bear this little bit of white eyes.
After hearing this, one of the clan elders frowned and said: "Nonsense, in this way, the reputation of the Hu family will be lost, let your son go to the wife clan, you don't want this old face." ”
Old man Hu still didn't change his face after hearing this, he felt that after today's incident, the reputation of the Hu family had long been gone, and since he couldn't keep his reputation, it was better to keep it practical.
"Now after they make such a fuss, what reputation does our family have at all, anyway, I put it here, if you want to split the family, the big house will go out of the house, if you don't agree, this day will be the same."
The brothers of the Xu family were really laughed at by Old Man Hu, and Xu Guangqi said sarcastically: "Since the big house is clean and does not share a little property, what about the pension money and festivals in the future, do you want to give it out." ”
"Of course I want to come out, it is a matter of course for this son to provide for his father and mother." Old man Hu looked taken for granted.
Xu Guanghua still wanted to see how brazen he was, so he asked: "How much pension money will you pay that year, and what about the rituals?" ”
Hu Pozi hurriedly replied at this time: "Ten taels of silver a year, two taels of silver for the festival, and if my father and I are sick and take medicine, they can't be left behind." ”
After hearing this, the onlookers were in an uproar. Ten taels of silver a year, not to mention Hu Luo, who is out of the house, even ordinary people who have divided the family property can't take it out, not to mention the gift silver, which is ten taels a year, plus the cost of medical treatment, at least more than 20 taels of silver a year.
This bearded woman is really a lion's mouth, this is to force the family to death.
When Hu Luo heard this, his face suddenly turned to ashes, and his heart was as cold as ice. More than 20 taels of filial piety silver a year, not to mention that he was cleaned out of the house, even if he is still in this family, he can't earn it, is his father and mother going to force their family to death!
The other patriarch of the Hu family couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Nonsense, more than 20 taels of silver a year, you can see which family can get it, and it is still in the case of a big house and a clean house." Hu Laosan, do you still want your old face. ”
Old man Hu's face turned red when the clan elder said it, although they also felt that it was a little much, but didn't they look at the Xu family as if they were suddenly rich, since the eldest son was going to join the Xu family, it was better to ask more, even if the eldest son didn't have it, maybe the Xu family would help him with this money.
Xu Guangqi also sneered at this time: "This year, more than 20 taels of filial piety silver, who can take it out of the ordinary people's house, besides, my brother-in-law was still cleaned out of the house, and he has no food and clothing. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of discussion outside, saying that the second elder of the Hu family was not authentic, and he forced the eldest son to be a family like this, and he didn't know if the eldest son was their own, and his heart was too ruthless.
Old man Hu listened to the discussion outside, and looked at the ugly faces of the two clan elders, although what he originally said in his heart was the idea of the Xu family to pay money, but he couldn't say it on the face No, this last fig leaf still has to be wanted.
So he turned to Li Zheng and said, "I don't know what the chief suggests?" ”
Li Chang thought for a moment and said: "Since the big house family is out of the house, then the pension silver and festival gifts in the future will be exempted, and the medical expenses will be given a little, and if not, forget it, after all, you will keep the real estate and silver by your side, and you will also plan to hand it over to the second child in the future, so the old nature does not need to pay the pension silver again." ”
After hearing this, Old Man Hu and Mrs. Hu were reluctant in their hearts, so that they would not be able to rely on their eldest son at all in the future.
After hearing this, the brothers of the Xu family clapped their hands and praised: "Well, it is still clear that since the brother-in-law is out of the house, then the pension money and rituals should be exempted in the future." ”
The two elders of the Hu family have no objections, they also feel that today's family is too unfair, how can there be such a division, and if it continues to make trouble, I am afraid that their relatives will become enemies.
"Okay, if you want to divide it, just do what Li Zheng said, this thing was originally done by you, but it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, and we won't say much about the rest, just what Li Zheng said."
When Old Man Hu saw that Li Zheng and the two clan elders were saying this, Zhong Ran was reluctant in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
After that, Li Zheng wrote a separation agreement, which stated that Hu Luo would leave the house today, and he would not have to give the second elder any filial piety silver in the future.
After pressing the fingerprint, the agreement officially came into effect, and this agreement was in triplicate, one copy was long, and Hu Laotou and Hu Luo each held one copy.
