Chapter 55: Five Acres of Land
After a while, several clan elders had almost discussed, and the clan elder who had just scolded Mrs. Li coughed and said, "A few of us have discussed it, this matter is really not easy to handle...... Since Lao Qi agreed to let the two children be separated, then these two men can be separated, anyway, over there in the ancestral hall, these two men have always been in the name of Lao Qi and his brother. As for the matter of this land, back then, the clan took into account that the relationship between the two and the seventh family was closer than ours, and thought that they would not suffer too much if they followed the seventh family, so they gave the ten acres of land to the seventh family. It stands to reason that these ten acres of land have passed the paperwork, and they belong to the old seven families. ”
When Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Li heard this, they both nodded frantically, with ecstasy on their faces.
Jiang Baoqing didn't have any expression on his face, but he couldn't see any thoughts.
Jiang Yunshan was stunned and didn't say anything.
In fact, if they change to another home to adopt them, even if it is slightly better for them, when they go out to set up their own doors, no matter how hard and tired they are, they will definitely not want these ten acres of land.
However, this old man Jiang's family ...... Don't mention it!
"But," the old clan's voice suddenly changed, and his tone was a little painful, "Old Seven, your family is really a little unauthentic, look, look, what are these things called!" ”
Although he did not explicitly refer to it, everyone who was present knew what he was talking about.
The ecstatic expressions of Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Li suddenly froze on their faces, looking a little funny.
Old man Jiang said a little unnaturally: "Second brother, didn't you just say that this place has passed the paperwork, and it is my family's ......."
The clan elder snorted through his nose: "What's wrong with your family?" After you didn't take care of your brother, you still want to farm his land, do you want to be ashamed? …… Let me tell you, the clan has decided, you take out five acres of land out of the ten acres of land, and give them to the two of you! ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she actually divided a full five acres of land, and she didn't catch her breath, and almost rolled her eyes and fainted.
Old man Jiang yelled: "No, I don't agree to this!" No one wants to divide my land! ”
Quan Li was slowly persuading on the side: "Brother Jiang, let's do this, I think it's better for you to agree." At that time, the document of the land transfer was still in the yamen, and it could be written in black and white that the ten acres of land were used to take care of the brothers and sisters, and naturally who took care of the land and who took the land. You take care of people like this, and I think there are still many people who are willing to take good care of their brothers and sisters instead of you. ”
Old man Jiang's face changed dramatically!
"Why! Why give the land to those two little brutes! Mrs. Li stroked her chest, her face was a little blue because she couldn't breathe, and it was ugly, "There is no good thing in the family!" ”
Several clan elders were angry when they heard Mrs. Li's words, but they didn't scold Mrs. Li, they turned around and scolded Old Man Jiang: "Old Seven, what's the matter with your mother-in-law?" What is a little brute? What are you doing, mother-in-law? The two children of our Jiang family, with red roots, are they little beasts? It's a shame, the old men of our Jiang family didn't let an old lady ride on her head and pee! ”
Old man Jiang's face turned red and blue, and he yelled at Mrs. Li: "If you can't speak, shut your stinky mouth for me!" ”
Mrs. Li is not a vegetarian, and she may be a little afraid of Old Man Jiang when it comes to ordinary problems, but the field is her lifeline, and she will not let anything go. Mrs. Li picked up a bench and was about to pick up the old man Jiang: "You have no ability!" Those dead old men are going to give our land to those two little brutes! You're still arguing with your mother with a big face! ”
Old man Jiang was scolded like this by his mother-in-law in front of several clan elders, his face was simply stepped on the ground and crushed a few times, and he immediately couldn't hang up, and kicked towards Mrs. Li, and fought with Mrs. Li.
However, no matter how much trouble Old Man Jiang made and how much Mrs. Li sprinkled, he couldn't change the decision of the clan elders, so he left a sentence of "either get rid of the clan, or divide five acres of land to Jiang Yunshan and Jiang Baoqing brothers and sisters" and left.
In addition to the clan, in the ancient countryside, it can be said that it was an extremely severe punishment.
A family that has been expelled from the clan, others dare not have anything to do with them. During the New Year's holidays, there is no ancestor to worship, and his branch will leave a record of "expulsion" on the family tree, leaving a stench for 10,000 years.
As soon as they heard the word "exclude the clan", Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Li suddenly became dumb, their faces were blue and pale, but they didn't dare to say half a word more.
Three days later, Old Man Jiang and Jiang Yiniu went to Lizheng, with Quan Lizheng as a witness, and reluctantly handed over the title deed of five acres of land to Jiang Yunshan and Jiang Baoqing.
As for Mrs. Li, I heard that she was sick and couldn't get up while lying on the bed.
After this incident, the old man Jiang's family broke with Jiang Yunshan and Jiang Baoqing.
At this time, the old man Jiang's family looked at Jiang Yunshan and Jiang Baoqing's brother and sister, and there was no difference between looking at the enemy.
Jiang Baoqing didn't care.
In fact, her original psychological expectation was to get back five acres of land. After all, it was also written at that time, and it was unrealistic to let Old Man Jiang's family spit out ten acres of land, for fear that it would really end up at that time.
Spit out five acres of land, although it makes Old Man Jiang's flesh extremely painful, but it is not as unacceptable as returning ten acres of land.
And these five acres of land can be regarded as the foundation of Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Yunshan's small family.
Facing the faces of Old Man Jiang and Jiang Yiniu who were about to burst into flames, Jiang Baoqing turned a deaf ear and even wanted to laugh a little.
In the past three days, she has already moved things to her former hometown with Jiang Yunshan.
It stands to reason that the former hometown should actually fall under the name of the old man Jiang, but because of the transfer of the house, they have to go to the county to pay a tax, Jiang Baoqing's hometown is really too broken, and the old man Jiang's family can't look down on it at all, and they are not willing to pay a sum of money for these broken houses, so after the old man Jiang's family moved the things in the old house cleanly, the name of the old house did not go to the county to change.
This matter is convenient for Jiang Baoqing and Jiang Yunshan.
The two of them pulled out the weeds in the old yard, and asked the masons in the village to first repair the roof of the relatively complete tiled house to make up for the leakage, which was barely able to live in it. There are also a few damaged ones, the roof and the wall are broken in a lot of places, and the tent house is leaking, and it takes a lot of time, so it is temporarily slowed down, and the first hand is free to clean up the house.
Jiang Yunshan stood in the courtyard, looking at the small courtyard that had a faint appearance of the past, and couldn't help but think of the happy times when they lived here with their father in the past.
Jiang Yunshan was in a trance for a while.
Jiang Baoqing's shoulder still hurts a little, but it has already scabbed, and he can still endure the pain with a slight movement. At this moment, she was sweeping the yard with a broom.
When the dust was raised, Jiang Yunshan reacted, hurriedly snatched Jiang Baoqing's broom, and said with some blame: "Your shoulders don't look good, why don't you start to cherish them again?" Do you want to be a one-armed old girl in the future? ”
Jiang Baoqing joked with Jiang Yunshan with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that my brother dislikes me!" ”
Jiang Yunshan has been getting closer to Jiang Baoqing in the past few days, and he waved his hand: "Okay, okay, Baoqing, go and rest." ”
Jiang Baoqing tilted his head, smiled at Jiang Yunshan, and went to fetch a basin of water, polishing the windows and door frames of the tiled house that had been repaired first.
Jiang Yunshan saw that Jiang Baoqing couldn't be idle, so he shook his head helplessly, and went with her.
