106. Liberation
"Points! Divide them all! We've lived by ourselves! Li Yongcai shouted with a black face, and was worried that Li Zhang's shouting out something that should not be said would provoke the Xie family to regret it, so he quickly cut through the chaos and said: "Each has its own way!" The fields and the things at home are equally divided, and my husband and wife are also old, and the three brothers have to work for us when the farm is busy, and they will pay us money every month, and then give filial piety during the New Year's holidays! ”
"Dead old man, I don't agree to the separation! No one wants to divide it, one by one, the black-hearted and rotten things ......" Li Zhangshi was still scolding, but no one paid attention to her anymore.
"Good! The fairness of eternal wealth is impartial, no one suffers, and no one takes advantage! Patriarch Li Taihong knocked on the ground with his cane and sighed, as if he didn't hear Li Zhang's scolding beside him.
After all, Li Zhang's actions are known to almost the whole village, and the elders are also scolded by her pointing their noses, and now they are being treated like this by their daughter-in-law.
"Yongcai's daughter-in-law is confused, but Yongcai still understands in her heart." Another member of the Li family, Li Yongjin, said, "Yongcai, tell me how much money is appropriate for Chang and their three brothers to give every month, and we will also give you a witness." ”
"Two-two!"
It was not Li Yongcai who said this, but Li Zhang, who saw that the separation was a foregone conclusion.
I saw her hateful: "Their brothers all crawled out of my intestines, I feed them so big with a handful of and urine, let alone two taels, even if it is a hundred taels, they have to give it to me!" ”
When this sentence came out, everyone was talking about it, and ordinary people may not be able to leave two taels of silver after half a year, Li Zhang's family is so ruthless to his three sons, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is two taels, and it is two taels per month! Isn't that obviously embarrassing!
"Yongcai daughter-in-law, you are too lion to open your mouth!" Li Yongjin looked at her with a frown, "Who can give two taels of silver to their parents every month for those who live in our village?" ”
"That's it, this chapter of the old woman fell into the eyes of money......"
"This is a competition with three daughters-in-law......
"No matter how hard he fights, he can't be so ruthless, how can he live as a son......"
……
Even Li Da and Li Er cried to Li Zhang's with a bitter face:
"Mother, why are you ruthless, even if you sell your son, it's not worth two or two miles!"
"That's it, mother, you feel sorry for your son!"
……
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding villagers, Li Yongcai's face became more and more ugly.
Turning his head to look at the Xie family, seeing that the impatience on Xie Xuan's face was getting stronger and stronger, Li Yongcai didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear that this mysterious little girl would tell the story of that night again, and immediately said:
"Don't listen to her, old woman fooling around! Each family gives three coins of silver every month, and the filial piety of the New Year's festival is counted, and my wife and I are sick, and they have to take turns to come and wait. Look who behaves well, my old couple's share of land and all their property will be left to him! ”
After all, Li Yongcai has a few eyes, he knows the temperament of his three sons clearly, the eldest has many eyes, the second is lazy and laid, and the third has no opinions, if he doesn't leave some way back for himself, I'm afraid he will be thrown over the south wall long ago.
The three clan elders and the lieutenant elders all nodded, Li Yongcai's method is good, although three dollars of silver per month is a bit much, but as long as you are diligent, it is not impossible to earn it!
What's more, compared to what Li Zhang's said about two taels a month, what Li Yongcai said is already very kind.
In this world where filial piety is like heaven, parents have asked their sons for money, where is the reason not to give it?
Subsequently, they discussed the furniture, livestock, vegetable fields, houses and other issues at home, and the Li family quickly divided the house.
The eldest Li Changhe and his family still live in the east wing, and the second Li Changwei's family still lives in the west wing.
Only the third child, Li Changping and Hui Niang, were willing to move out of the West Ear Room, and the lieutenant re-designated a piece of wasteland for them as the address of Li Changping and Hui Niang's new home.
Later, Li Zhang's and Qian's Sun made trouble again because of the livestock, chasing chickens, ducks and pigs running all over the yard, and everyone was laughing and watching the excitement.
Hui Niang didn't participate in it, but just stood aside with Xie Ping'an, Xie Pingtian, and Xie Xuan to talk.
"It's like a dream, and that's it?" Hui Niang asked in a trance.
"Mother, it's separated! We will be free in the future, and we will no longer have to be beaten and scolded by our grandmother, squeezed out by our aunts, or teased by a few cousins! Li Ying's eyes were full of tears, "From now on, we have our own home, we can do whatever we want, and we don't have to look at other people's eyes anymore......"
"That's it, mother, in the future, we can eat whatever we want, and we don't have to pick up a dish or eat one more nest, and we will be scolded by grandma!" Li Lian looks forward to the future, "When the time comes, we will eat egg custard every day, and we will have sugar every day like in my grandmother's house!" ”
"Silly Lian'er, just thinking about eating!" Xie Ping'an nodded Li Lian's forehead and laughed at her.
Xie Pingtian patted Hui Niang's shoulder and said with a smile: "You have finally broken up, let's go back to see my father and mother, our father and mother dream every day that you can be separated, and it will be more convenient to help you in the future." Otherwise, if I want to give you something, it won't reach you! ”
Hui Niang hugged the swaddling clothes, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop staying.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, I thought that this life would be like this, who would have thought that there would be a day of separation. At the beginning, I thought that if I could split up the family, let alone eat bran and live in the wasteland, I would be willing to go out of the house without anything! ”
Hui Niang looked at Xie Xuan again, and knew in her heart that if Xie Xuan hadn't taken Li Yongcai's handle, it would have been impossible to split up so easily this time.
Hui Niang smiled in tears and said to Xie Xuan: "Xuanxuan, my good daughter, if it weren't for you, my mother really didn't know how to live in her mother-in-law's house." My mother has not done anything for you, but she has made you worry about us everywhere, my mother is sorry for you! ”
"What do you say I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're my mother, I shouldn't think about you?" Xie Xuan said with a smile.
Hui Niang hugged the swaddling clothes with one hand, stroked Xie Xuan's yellowed hair with the other, and said gently: "My mother didn't do anything for you before, and when we divide it in the future, you don't have to look at your grandmother's eyes, and when we go back, our house is built, you can move back......"
As soon as she heard this, not only Xie Xuan's face changed slightly, but Li Lian's originally happy face also fell. Even Xie Pingtian and Xie Ping'an also wanted to speak and stopped.
"Mother, I live well in my grandmother's house, I don't want to move!" She looked at Hui Niang's somewhat gloomy face, and hurriedly comforted: "Grandpa and grandma are also old, isn't it right for me to be filial to them for my mother?" I'm going to leave them, they may not be able to sleep at night, they miss me every day! ”
"That's it, Hui Niang, Xuanxuan has lived with us since she was a child, and she is not used to it!" Xie Pingtian also said, "If you want Xuanxuan in the future, I will send Xuanxuan back to live for a few days, so that Xuanxuan can also change places to be fresh and fresh, isn't it just right?" ”
"That's right, sister, our family's big mess is not a good place without Xuanxuan!" Xie Ping'an was not as tactful as his eldest brother, and directly stated the reason.
Although Hui Niang knew that Xie Xuan was very smart, she didn't believe that the Xie family had to rely on Xie Xuan for everything, so she was reluctant to Xie Xuan when the two brothers and her mother's family were reluctant, nodded Xie Xuan's forehead and said, "Okay, follow you!" You don't stay with your mother since you were a child, you don't have to be with your mother, and your mother knows it. Since you want to continue to live in your grandmother's house, then be filial to them for your mother! ”
