Xia Laohan belongs to a searchlight, only shining on others and not on himself. Xia Meiniang's matter is not only the responsibility of the old lady alone, if Xia Laohan does not agree, the old lady will not dare to do it.

However, the old man was thinner, his face was gray, his gray hair was thinning a lot, and there was a bubble on his mouth.

The old man took Xia Li's hand and said, "Good granddaughter, grandpa has enjoyed your blessings." If it weren't for the ginseng tonic you gave, my grandfather would have been angry to death. ”

Xia Li has a relationship with the old man, and it hurts to see him like this. She helped the old man into the hall and sat down, poured the tea, and brought the teacup to him.

Everyone sat down and listened to Xia Zhu, after Xia Shan went home and said about it, the Xia family was angry, and the three brothers plus Xia Daxiong, Xia Old Man, Li, and Yang ran to He Media's mother-in-law's house in full gear to make a fuss. beat Mrs. He, her man, son, and grandson half to death, and smashed her house. There are many relatives of the He family, and they didn't help after hearing about the reason, and at the same time hated the He matchmaker for ruining the reputation of the He family. Mrs. He had a weak heart, was beaten to the point that her head was broken and her leg was broken, and she did not dare to sue the official or ask for medical expenses. Mrs. He's reputation has also stinked, and people in the neighborhood have said that they will not ask her to be a matchmaker again......

And when this matter spread, people scolded Mrs. He for her lack of morality and bad conscience, and at the same time, they also despised the greed and stupidity of the old couple of the Xia family even more......

Xia Laohan said sadly, "I'm sorry for the two daughters, one was sold to Yazi and became a widow early, and the other was married to a camel ......" After speaking, he cried again, tears and snot fell together.

He was so sad.

After crying for a while, he pulled Xia Li and said, "Good boy, you are a good boy." I saw the Wang family kid yesterday, and he was a good offspring, yes, really good. If it weren't for you, my second granddaughter would have married the heartless stump of the Yang family again......"

Speaking of this, he was so angry that he picked up the crutches and beat Mrs. Xia on the side, scolding, "This is all the bad conscience of the women of the old Yang family, who value money more than her daughter and granddaughter......

The old lady was so frightened that she limped to the side, and Xia Zhu and Xia Shi hurriedly stopped the old man.

The old lady cried, "Mei Niang is my daughter, and I feel sorry for her, how did I know that Mrs. He was so bad and deceived us." You didn't stop me in that matter, and it's my fault that something happened......"

The old lady was helped by the Xia family to the east wing, and Xia Li persuaded the old man softly.

The three members of the Xia family lived in Xia Li's house for two days, Xia Liyi led the three of them to Xiangliuju Restaurant for dinner, played in Fucheng for a day, bought them a lot of things, and took the old couple to the Shen Medical Center to see a doctor and buy a lot of tonics.

The old lady was so envious when she saw such a magnificent restaurant, she felt that the filial piety money that her daughter gave one or two silver a month was too little, but she was smart enough not to dare to say it.

The night before leaving, Old Man Xia asked Xia Shan to call him over, and several people held a family meeting of the Xia family, and asked Xia and Xia Li to attend.

Xia Li didn't want to participate, knowing that letting her participate would not give her any money, but she would have something to do. But the old man was stubborn and held her hand.

Everyone sat down, and Xia Laohan first took out ten taels of silver, saying that six taels of silver was the money for selling Xia Meiniang, and four taels of silver was the dowry that the family made up for her, and asked Xia to persuade her to accept it. Before, the old man gave it to Xia Meiniang, but Xia Meiniang left without even looking at it.

He took out four taels of silver and said to Xia, "I know that Lan Niang is rich now, and this idea is not rare, but my father and mother are poor, so I can only make up for your dowry, don't dislike it." ”

Xia didn't expect her father to make up the dowry for her, and she was very moved. said, "Dad, my family is not short of money, and my father keeps these silver to buy supplements." ”

Xia Laohan shook his head and gave it to her.

Then, the old man's face became serious, and he said, "We'll separate when we go back." ”

These words shook everyone in the room, and they looked at him incredulously.

Mrs. Xia reacted the most, and said loudly, "Old man, aren't you confused? Our old couple are alive, what kind of home do we share? No, I don't agree. ”

The law of the Yamato Dynasty stipulates that when the parents are present, the family is not separated. However, there are policies and countermeasures, and there are still people who divide them for various reasons. It's just that he is dividing it in private, inviting his relatives, Lizheng, and respected elders to testify, dividing the family first, and then going to the yamen to file after his parents die. This also has the advantage that if there is military service or conscription, the extended family is a whole and only takes a penny.

Old Xia was so angry that he spat the old lady and scolded, "You are a dead old woman, it's not all your fault." Are you willing to break up with me? Don't you want to live with Meimei as a family? Your reputation is so bad that you think about what neighbor will take care of you when you leave the house? I'm here to let the children no longer be dragged down by you, so that they can go out and be upright, talk about their relatives, and not be laughed at......"

When the old man said this, Xia Zhu hurriedly said, "Dad, we don't divide, we are all filial piety in front of you." ”

The old man shook his head, his heart broken. Now, the reputation of the Xia family has completely stinked in that area, especially Mrs. Xia, people can't avoid it, and he can't drag down his good grandson and granddaughter anymore......

He also said that Xia Zhu's family and Xia Shan are good children, so he let them go out and live their lives. The second son Xia Tie was confused, Xiao Yang's lacked morality, and the old couple lived with the second room, and he still had a breath of air, looking at them and protecting the two grandsons. If Xiao Yang's mistakes again, he will take a break directly...... Today, we will discuss how to divide the family, and after going back, I will invite Master Xia Si, Mrs. Xia Jiu, Zhou Lizheng, Carpenter Zhou, Doctor Zhou and others to testify, make a note, and divide the family.

Now the Xia family has eight acres of land, two stalls, a large yard, a donkey, two pigs, nine chickens, furniture, some grain, and fifty-two taels of silver, fifty-six yuan.

Hearing that there were so many savings in the family, not to mention that Xia was stunned, even Xia Shan and Xia Zhu were stunned. The old couple died on weekdays, and they saved a lot of money, and eighty percent of the week's savings were not so much.

Xia Li complained directly, with so many savings, why did he live so hard, and treat his daughter-in-law and granddaughter so harshly, he was reluctant to let them eat even some meat.

Mrs. Xia saw that the old man had told her old story, and shouted loudly, "Old man, you have poured too much yellow soup, what are you talking nonsense?" We only have fifteen taels of silver and fifteen taels of silver, and we have ...... money."

Old Xia's eyes widened, and he roared, "Shut up." The big thing of the family separation is not as good as your stinky mother-in-law, and I know how much money the family has. If you dare to shout again, you will go back to the Yang family, Lao Tzu doesn't want you. ”

The old man's eyes bulged out, and Mrs. Xia cried and didn't dare to say anything more.
