Chapter 49
Old Man Bai didn't speak, as if he had acquiesced.
The discussion began on how to divide the family.
Of course, you can't just divide things up and be done.
In this era, the land property was recorded in the yamen, and the division of the family had to go to the yamen to transfer the household, and a notary public had to be invited to testify and divide the things in the house evenly and evenly.
And Bai Chuanbai's body was not in a mess, so he simply went back to the west room to change his clothes and clean up.
In the afternoon, I will invite a few respected people in the village, as well as Xu's father, Xu Lichang, to come and prove the separation.
Bai Laosan's family didn't care about these.
They left the hall in silence and returned to the west side house.
Although in the previous fight, under Yan Shu's care, Bai Chuanbai was not seriously injured.
But after all, there were still several wound scars.
Bai Shao and Bai Wei's two daughters were intimate, one cleaned his wounds for him, and the other put gold sore powder on him.
"Why did you make such a big ......" Bai Shao felt sorry for Bai Chuanbai, and couldn't help muttering a little while taking medicine.
"What's wrong, Peony?" Bai Wei couldn't hear clearly, so he turned his head and asked her.
"Nope." Bai Shao shook her head and closed her mouth.
She was helpless.
Although today's events, a large part of it comes from her arrangement.
For example, the three thieves were released by her asking Yan Shu to be released at this time.
For example, it was she who begged Yan Shu for help to let her father find a way to owe someone a little money, and chased after her to ask for debts.
But she didn't expect that Yan Shu would pull Xinghua Pavilion in, and make such a big fuss.
Although this plan was perfect for her to split up the family, and also pulled out Bai Chuanqiong, pulling all the pickled things that the Bai family wanted to hide to the sun, and also making the face that Old Man Bai had been maintaining broken into pieces.
But......
It's nothing good, but Yan Shu is willing to help, and he can successfully divide the family, which is the best ending.
Bai Shao clenched his fists, and before he could say anything, Qian Shi cautiously called outside.
"Third brother and sister, third brother and sister, our mother said that there are too many people who are coming to eat at noon, can you come and help?"
Wu was silent for a moment, then stood up and opened the door of the West Wing House.
Bai Shao and Bai Wei did not stop the Wu family, and they also hoped that there would be no mistakes in today's lunch, after all, they were the ones who really wanted to separate the family.
After a while, after giving Bai Chuanbai good medicine, Bai Yunshi stayed here to sit with Bai Chuanbai for a while, and the sisters quietly withdrew from the west side house.
Outside, Wu was stir-frying, Qian was cooking the fire, Xu was washing vegetables, and Sun was washing dishes with Bai Zhi and Bai Ying.
As soon as Qian saw the two Bai Shao sisters, he hurriedly shouted, "Fifth sister, third sister, there is no firewood, you go and get some firewood." ”
……
Bai Shao and Bai Wei glanced at each other with bitter faces, did not refuse, turned around and went to the door of Bai's house, and began to drain the firewood from the middle.
"Sister, you say, we will still live here in the future, what is the difference between not having a family?" Bai Shao glanced at Bai Wei and said in a deep voice.
"If you don't live here, where do you live?" Bai said with a slight sorrow.
"We can't afford to build a house, but we can rent a house." Bai Shao took the smoked firewood into his arms, "As long as you can leave this group of people and don't see them again, it's fine." ”
Bai Wei didn't speak, just hugged the firewood and entered the Bai family with Bai Shao.
Renting a house is something that is almost never considered by peasant families in this era.
Everyone is accustomed to living in their own house, whether it is an earthen house or a mud brick house, it is their own, and it is comfortable to live in.
But Bai Shao thought about it carefully, thirty taels of silver would definitely not be able to build a house, even if Old Man Bai gave them a little more, it would not be enough.
It's renting a house, and it doesn't cost much money a year.
The most important thing now is to find a place where the family can live temporarily and save some money to build their own house.
However, looking at Bai Wei's attitude, Bai Shao knows that it may be difficult.
She wasn't in a hurry, anyway, as long as the family was separated, everything could be worked out slowly.
At noon on the same day, Bai Chuanqiang came forward and invited several more respected old people in the village, as well as Xu's father, Xu Lichang.
Once, Old Man Bai was also one of them, and he was always invited to split up.
Unexpectedly, one day, he would invite these old friends to help divide the family.
"Let's see the joke......" Old Man Bai raised a cup of tea and said helplessly.
"Who doesn't have those things." One of the old men, that is, the grandfather of Dachun next door, patted the old man Bai on the shoulder with emotion, "No matter what, it's your son, and it will always be your son." ”
"Thank you, brother, my brother is here to replace wine with tea, toast you." Old Man Bai touched the cup with Grandpa Dachun with some emotion.
Cooking was in full swing outside, and in the hall, after a few old people drank two cups of tea, they called Bai Chuanbai over and began to divide the family.
Fifteen acres of land, leaving three acres for the two old men, and the remaining twelve acres of land, three acres of land for each family.
There is no objection to this.
The house in the west is still left to Shirakawa Bai to live in, after all, he is also his own son, and it is impossible to say that they should get out of the house with the bedding.
The pot house originally said that they could use it casually, but Liu snorted twice and expressed his dissatisfaction, so Old Man Bai changed his tune and said that he would build a small pot house for them outside.
Shirakawa politely refused.
The living creatures of chickens, ducks and pigs are also divided into five equal parts, one for the old two and one for each of the four sons.
"If you want to eat, take it yourself, these are all mixed together, I'm afraid it's not easy to disassemble." Old Man Bai said in a deep voice.
Bai Shao didn't speak, she didn't have a chicken pen or a pigsty at home, if she really took out her share, she couldn't feed it.
"As for the money,......," the old man muttered for a moment.
Finally when it came to the main event, many people, including Bai Shao, became excited.
"There are still ...... at home" Old Man Bai was about to open his mouth to speak, when Liu on the side suddenly screamed, "There are only fifty taels of silver at home." ”
Old Man Bai glanced at Liu in surprise, and after a while, he pressed his eyebrows with a headache.
He felt ashamed of his third son's family, and wanted to give them a little more to compensate after distributing the money evenly.
But Liu's here actually deducted half of the money.
Old Man Bai couldn't bear to treat the third family like this, but he didn't want to tear his wife's face, so he had to lower his head and pretend not to hear.
"Or according to five portions, I will give you ten taels of silver." Liu's eyes widened, staring at Bai Chuanbai, looking like I gave you a lot of money, and you have to be grateful.
Shirakawa didn't move, this was what he deserved.
Bai Shao saw through it, but didn't say it. Because she really doesn't want to have any more twists and turns.
"Okay, then ten taels of silver, three acres of land, and a ...... house in the west," Grandpa Dachun repeated on the side what he wanted to give to Bai Laosan's family.
Bai Chuanbai nodded silently, without any dissent.
When Liu saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry, he knew that he would have said a little less.
"That's okay, the things are divided like this, in triplicate, one from Chuan Bai, one from Brother Bai, and one from us, if you have no objections, just press your handprint." Grandpa Da Chun took three pieces of paper from another old man and brought them to everyone.
Bai Shao glanced at it, and saw that there was no difference between what he said and Fang Cai, so he nodded.
Shirakawa stretched out his thumb and pressed it in the red ink, and then pressed it on the rice paper.
Old Man Bai sighed and slowly pressed his handprint.
The lieutenant chief and several old witnesses also pressed their handprints.
When everything was over, Bai Shao carefully put away the family separation documents that belonged to her family.
"Old brothers, it's all hard work." Old Man Bai shook his head a little sadly, "Fifth sister, go see if the food outside is good, let's eat." ”
Bai Shao responded crisply, turned around and went outside to say something to Wu.
Wu said that he would be able to eat soon.
For ordinary people's banquets, there must be four stir-fried dishes and two stews.
Because today is a big event like splitting the family, Old Man Bai specially instructed to stir-fry a little more.
Wu prepared six stir-fried dishes and three stews.
There are nine large bowls in total, and the entire table is full.
"Come, old brothers, eat......" Old Man Bai asked his sons to sit down as accompaniments, and poured some liquor before beckoning everyone to eat together.
As for the granddaughters and daughters-in-law, they can only hold bowls, order some food, and find a place to eat.
If you want to be as strong as Liu's, you can only set up a small table and eat by yourself in the east room.
No way, this era is too strict for women.
After eating, the others left one after another, and Xu Lichang went to Xu's room and talked to Xu.
Wu cleaned up the table with a few concubines, threw out the inedible ones, and kept the edible ones for the next meal.
The old man Bai was drunk, half lying on a chair, and said slowly, "Third brother, you don't have any pots and pans there...... Come and eat here in the evening. ”
is separated, and it is naturally not good to eat in the same pot.
Old Man Bai was able to call him to eat when he didn't have anything, and Bai Chuanbai was very grateful in his heart.
It's a pity that this gratitude only lasted for a moment, and it was washed away by Liu's sharp voice.
"What to eat, people have money, forty taels of silver, our whole family is not as rich as them. I want to divide the family so desperately, don't I just want to steal good food, so I don't have to give it to me anymore. It's rare for people to shout for dinner. ”
Bai Chuanbai stood in place a little embarrassed, "Dad, I don't have to...... It's okay, I'll go to the market tomorrow to buy things for cooking, and I can still make do with a meal tonight. ”
After speaking, he lowered his head, took Bai Shao and Bai Wei, and left the hall.
Liu Shi looked at their backs, pursed his lips, and said very meanly, "Look, there is something delicious, I have eaten my food for decades, I have money, and when I go out, I am reluctant to eat my food, white-eyed wolf, it's not a thing." ”
