Chapter 15: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
As soon as the star fruit squeaked, the eldest aunt stared at her like a thief.
Seeing that she still had to help come up with ideas, she immediately warned her: "Star fruit, you are still young, you can't open your mouth." Your second aunt is not easy to fool, she deceived her this time, and she may not be able to make trouble in the future! ”
Aren't you afraid that star fruit will rely on them and refuse to separate your family?
Carambola glanced at the eldest aunt clearly, walked behind Grandma to help her pinch her shoulders, and said humbly: "Grandma might as well listen to it first, if the granddaughter is not right, you will treat it as if the granddaughter didn't say it." ”
She practiced pinching techniques all day long, and pressed on her grandmother's shoulder point to make the old man feel comfortable: "Okay, you say it first." If you can really call your second aunt back, the whole family will have to thank you. ”
The eldest aunt stared at the star fruit warningly, her ears stood up, and she was ready to drink the words of the star fruit.
Carambola didn't bother to take care of her, and talked about her opinions in an orderly manner.
"Grandma, do you think this will work? We are not separated, but we are independent in income. Whoever earns the money will arrange the expenses themselves......"
"What's the difference between that and separation?"
Grandma shook her shoulders and shook off the hand of the star fruit, suddenly turned around and glared at the star fruit and said, "Do you want to wash the old woman?" The three of you are also wronged, and I wish you had set up your own door earlier......"
Her voice was loud and angry, and she was so frightened that the star fruit knelt down with a 'bang'.
"Grandma, I didn't mean that......"
"What does that mean? Income independence, do you still want to divide the fields and houses, it is best to get rid of the two of us old bones! So that no one can get in the way of your eyes, and you can do whatever you want and be lawless? ”
This crime is a big one, and the star fruit kowtowed vigorously in fright: "Grandma, you dissipate your anger, you listen to your granddaughter." ”
There was a lot of commotion here, and several people in the room were alarmed.
As soon as Ye Shi understood what was going on, he slapped the star fruit on the head; Yang Laosan was also anxious and scolded: "You little hoof who kills a thousand knives, what kind of bad idea do you have?" If I make your grandma angry, I won't be able to spare you. ”
The eldest uncle and the second uncle sat on the side with a blue face and did not speak, and the grandfather leaned on the rattan chair and smoked a dry cigarette.
Only the eldest aunt's eyes turned around twice, came over to protect the star fruit in her arms, and persuaded Ye's to say: "No matter how wrong the child is, it is also a good heart, you beat and scold the child, don't you frighten the child?" ”
Saying that, he helped the star fruit rub her red face with pity, and said to everyone with a frown: "The second brother and sister even sent back the book, there is no way to say this?" Can we do it if we don't let go?
Even if it's true, we don't have to explain to the Tian family, we have to give the children an explanation, right?
Yang Xu and Yang Feng are both working in the county, so they can't go home and their mothers are gone, right? When the child asks, what do we say? Even if we send the child away, how will the child deal with himself in the future? Did they live in the Yang family, or did they go to the Tian family to take root? ”
"The flesh and blood of my Yang family, naturally living in the Yang family?"
The eldest aunt glanced at grandma, smashed her mouth and said, "That's the reason, but can the second brother and sister follow?" She gave birth to three children, all of whom were difficult to give birth, and fought hard to give birth to the root of her life, and raised it so big in the palm of her hand. Can she go without the child? ”
"She doesn't want to!"
Grandma grabbed the tea cup and smashed it on the ground, and the coarse porcelain pieces splashed everywhere, hitting people, and it hurt!
The second uncle approached Grandpa and reached out to ask for a cigarette stick: "Dad, give me a sip." ”
Grandpa glared at him for a long time, took two sharp puffs and handed it to him.
For a while, no one spoke in the room, and the second uncle was choked by the dry smoke and coughed.
Grandpa took a thick bowl and wanted to drink water, handed it to his mouth and put it back.
He looked at the star fruit with dark eyes, sighed, knocked on the table with his hand and said, "Peach, you go on." Whether it's right or not, it's all said and done. Don't be afraid, Grandpa promises that no one will dare to hit you again. ”
Know it's time!
Carambola held back the joy in her heart, straightened up and said carefully: "Sanfang people, each room will give you two and a half hanging money per month, and each room will give you two old and two stones (about 230 catties) of grain every year, and you can eat the vegetables in the field as you like." ”
Grandma, who was panting roughly, couldn't help but speak, Grandpa glanced at the wind and swept over, Grandma turned her head around her neck, biting her lip and not making a sound.
Carambola secretly glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone didn't react much, so he continued: "The land at home is divided into four parts, the fattest one is reserved for the second elder, and the rest of the three rooms are divided equally." In the future, each person's income and expenditure will be responsible for themselves, and they are not allowed to owe half of the eldest son to the second elder, and they are not allowed to ask for half of the eldest son to the second elder.
The house is not allowed to be moved, and each family either uses a large kitchen or finds a way to get a small kitchen by themselves. But there is one thing, not to make a fuss to everyone. ”
The eldest aunt hurriedly agreed: "No, no, it's not a glorious thing to split up, how can we have the face to talk about it everywhere?" ”
"Auntie is wrong, we didn't split up."
Carambola turned her head to look at the eldest uncle, her expression was very serious: "Each room has managed the money pockets of each room, but we are still a family." Whoever has a big incident in the family, everyone has to fight for their lives, and those who have money have to contribute powerfully. If you cheat and cheat, then I'm sorry, confiscate all your family property and get out of Lao Yang's house. ”
"Don't think that you can transfer your family wealth and cry poor, as long as the second elder is still there, no one has private wealth. If something really happens, the second elder will be able to let the county master check us out. When the time comes, no one will have the face to live in this world. ”
To sum up, there is one meaning: each has its own money, but the family cannot be scattered, and the flesh and blood family relationship cannot be light.
Carambola said in a clear and eloquent manner, and the eldest aunt patted her thigh after hearing it: "I think this method will work." The second daughter-in-law made such a fuss, so she also saved some money for her sons to say that she was a daughter-in-law. As long as she can control her own money, what kind of family breakup? ”
The uncle looked at Grandpa's face, and when he saw that Grandpa didn't say anything, he also had the courage to ask star fruit: "What are the big things you said?" Is it a big deal if you can't open the pot, and is it a big deal to ask for a school to catch the exam? ”
In the final analysis, it's still a three-room defense!
The star fruit listened carefully, and became more determined to split the family.
She looked at her eldest uncle and replied categorically: "It's a big deal if the second elder can't open the pot, and it's none of everyone's business if anyone else can't open the pot." The big thing I'm talking about is birth, old age, sickness and death. If there is a threat to life, several people must risk their lives to protect it. As long as it has nothing to do with life, there is no hard requirement for those who can't help, and it depends on everyone's conscience and friendship. ”
The eldest uncle nodded, seemingly satisfied with this answer.
Ye Shi also looked at Lao Tzuzi's face and said: "Actually, this is okay, let's let the second sister-in-law go home." Our big family can't be separated, and the small family of the second room can't be lost.
The children are getting older day by day, and those who should talk about their daughters-in-law should talk about their daughters-in-law, and those who should marry their daughters should marry their daughters. At this time, the trouble and separation are not good for the younger generations. ”
Grandma lowered her head and wept, refusing to speak.
It is clearly said that the money is not divided, but the money is divided, where is there a home? This star fruit, but it gives everyone a false impression of self-deception.
Grandpa looked up and asked Yang Lao Er: "What do you say?" If you don't divide the money, can your daughter-in-law agree? ”
Yang Lao Er stood up with his fists clenched, and said with red eyes: "If she still doesn't agree, then let me go, far away." ”
As he spoke, he knelt in front of his father, kowtowed solemnly and said, "Dad, mother, the child is not filial, but the child also has a large family, and the child's home cannot be dispersed!" ”
Grandma wiped away her tears and turned to go into the back room. Everyone looked at Grandma's back, and their hearts were in their throats.
Grandpa took a thick bowl and poured himself two mouthfuls of water, and slammed the bowl on the table: "I remember it clearly, you are the closest flesh and blood, who dares to lose his conscience in the future, I will kill him with my own hands." ”
The room full of people knelt down, kowtowed and replied: "The son (daughter-in-law) does not dare, the son (daughter-in-law) is not filial." ”
"Then it's decided, while it's here, divide the land."
The Yang family is poor, with a total of less than five points of land, and the other eight acres of land are all rented by the rich man's family.
Carambola gave his father a look, and said in a mouth-shaped: "The land is not divided, just rent the land." ”
A total of five points of land, how can the four families be divided?
Yang Laosan has always been filial, and when he got the hint from his daughter, he didn't care about the wishes of his two elder brothers, and he opened his mouth first: "Don't divide the five points of thin fields in the family, and the second elder keeps planting some food he likes." The remaining eight acres are divided between our three brothers. ”
Everyone had no opinion, but the eldest aunt pouted, thinking that Yang Laosan didn't let the eldest brother say this, and went to please the second elder.
Grandma came out of the room with a black box, her eyes were so red and swollen, but she didn't cry anymore.
She took the key and opened the box, and took out the silver coin from it: "There are fifteen hangings of whole coins here, and seven hundred and twenty-eight scattered coins." If you want to divide it, then divide it all. ”
A hanging of money is one and two silver, two days ago, grandma said that the family has a total of fifteen taels of silver, it seems that this is to take out all the belongings.
"Grandma, your family will buy things for two dollars, and put away the rest. Our family is not scattered, and your second elder is still our backbone. ”
Grandma shook her head and sighed: "Divide it, it's hot to keep it." ”
Grandma has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she has been strong all her life, but she has repeatedly regressed in front of her children and grandchildren. Carambola knew that her grandmother was afraid that everyone would be tight, and she was afraid that she would wronged the children.
She divided the whole money of fifteen hangings equally among the three families, and she only kept seven hundred and twenty-eight pieces of loose money.
When the sons took the money, they all blushed.
After dividing the money, the land began to be divided again. Eight acres of land are divided among three families, and they are not evenly divided. So grandma spoke: "The eldest and second family have two and a half acres, and the third family has few ways to make money, so he grows three acres." ”
The eldest aunt frowned and was about to open her mouth, but the uncle grabbed her and replied, "It should be like this." ”
Grandma began to divide the land, and the fields of each family were fat and thin, and they were quite even. The three acres of land that can be returned to the three houses are all vegetables, and they can be collected and sold for half a month.
