It's useless for the old lady to jump her feet, Liu Bin has the final say in this matter unilaterally, the key is that Liu's father is dead, she took this matter to relatives and friends, and everyone also thinks that Liu Bin is right. In the past, Liu's father was still there, and it was right that the money must belong to the old lady, but now she lives with her son, and it is only right that this money is given to the eldest son.

The old lady scolded Liu Bin in front of her relatives, but he just didn't hear it, and the old lady scolded Lin Xiaoxiao again.

Liu Bin's face remained unchanged, but he proposed in front of his brothers and sisters and Liu's mother's family: "Mother, how much money does my father have left?" Should this money be taken out and divided, it can be regarded as a thought left by my father for everyone. Don't worry, I don't want to give money, you just give the eldest brother a share of them. ”

Liu's mother's family was not happy with Liu Bin's approach, but Liu's father's relatives all nodded and said yes, Liu's mother didn't look at the children's faces, and directly said that there was no money.

Liu Bin didn't believe that he had no money, so he pulled the old lady to settle accounts with Brother Liu. Every year, the old lady has a fixed income of at least 120 yuan, and the clothes of the second old lady are sent by Lin Xiaoxiao, and the food and drink are all produced by themselves.

Liu's father smokes tobacco leaves grown by himself, and the old lady likes to eat rock candy, but she has a bad tooth, and she can eat it for a dollar until she forgets.

Brother Liu also said that there are few places to spend money at home, and all kinds of personal expenses, medical treatment, and medicine are all included, and Liu's mother can save at least 50 yuan a year.

Liu Bin has been sending money for a long time, only ten years, and the old lady has more than 500 yuan in her hand.

"Mother, you keep two hundred as pocket money, and give the rest to the eldest brother." Liu Bin still left room for the old lady.

She is an old lady in the countryside, and she has two hundred yuan in her hand that can be used for a lot. Not to mention the countryside, even how many people in the city have less than 100 yuan in savings.

Liu Bin's words are reasonable, no matter how unhappy Liu's mother's family is, they just put on a face, but they can't find a suitable reason to oppose it.

Mother Liu rolled her eyes and said, "I don't have any money, your father has spent all the money, and I don't have less than a hundred yuan in my body." She turned her pockets out for everyone to see, believing that no one would dare to raid her house.

Liu Bin looked at Brother Liu and they didn't speak, and he didn't participate in the money, he mentioned this just to make the old lady have no intention of scolding, he has achieved his goal, and he doesn't want to care about the rest of the matter.

Liu Bin didn't come out, Brother Liu was still hesitating, and others were not so easy to speak.

Three hundred yuan is divided, and each family can share dozens of yuan.

"Mother, forget if you don't have money, let's divide my father's clothes, they are all made of good materials, or the third child has better conditions than us, and we don't have money if we want to be filial." It was the old lady's daughter-in-law who said this.

This time it was the old lady's daughter who opened her mouth to help: "Mother, it's useless to keep those clothes, you can divide them!" ”

Liu's mother was angry: "No, I don't agree." She didn't say anything for a reason, so she didn't agree.

"Mother, no matter how good the clothes are, they will only be broken, and there will be personal favors after they are divided." This time, even Brother Liu began to persuade. He had been thinking about the old man's sheepskin coat for a long time, and he could pass it on to his son after he wore it.

Liu's mother didn't listen, she began to cry after more persuasion, she was a surviving person, and her mother's family was there, Brother Liu couldn't help it, and he thought that his clothes would not run with long legs, so he retreated when he looked at each other.

Liu's father's relatives don't dare to think about the good thing of sharing the money, but it is normal for Liu's father to share a little of the good clothes made by Liu's father before his death. The men in the family can get a good set of clothes, and they will have the dignity to go out as guests in the future.

After they withdrew, they were still muttering in private, this matter must not be left by the old lady, this is the Liu family's business, and it is not the old lady's business alone.

Liu Bin was reluctant to mix these things, he finished the account with Brother Liu, and took Lin Xiaoxiao to find a corner to rest. They can't go to bed, but it's okay to find a corner where no one is there for a while.

The day of Liu's father's funeral has been set, and it will not be sent up the mountain until the day after tomorrow, and they will continue to keep vigil. After resting for a while at night, they will definitely not be able to stay up during the day, even if the two of them are in good health, they can't stay up all night.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know the people in the village, and she couldn't even recognize the relatives of the Liu family, so no one called her to help with things. In addition to pretending to be stupid and in a daze, that is, nodding cooperatively when Liu Bin introduced her, she didn't even need to smirk, and she didn't have to smile on this occasion.

Liu Bin has been away from his hometown for many years, and there are many people who know him in his hometown, but he knows few people, and he is not even very familiar with the surrounding neighbors, not to mention relatives and friends at home. He doesn't have to be responsible for any work, as long as he sits in the money reconciliation account, and asks him about the money.

He doesn't want to take care of everything, but Jiachen people only look for him, everyone knows that he works in the city, and he can't do it if he wants to, and someone has to believe him if he has no money.

After a painful night, I finally waited for the day of the funeral.

No matter what the people of the Liu family thought before, at the moment when the coffin was raised, one cried more sadly than the other, and it was more exciting than the change of face in Sichuan opera.

Lin Xiaoxiao was ashamed of herself, she couldn't cry, and the ginger slices she prepared in advance didn't wipe out many tears. Liu Bin couldn't cry, but if the man didn't cry, no one would say anything, so he wouldn't force himself.

The husband and wife stood among the brothers and sisters, and the leader was Brother Liu, and the custom was that he, the eldest son, stood in front of him. Liu Bin's relatives all knew about Liu Bin's money, and it stands to reason that he wanted to grab a good position, but he rejected Brother Liu's kindness.

Carried from home to the mountain, there was also a series of ceremonies, Liu Bin and Lin Xiaoxiao kept it until the end, they were the last people to go down the mountain.

Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't taken a shower for a few days, even if it wasn't summer, she felt all kinds of smells on her body, and she was uncomfortably itchy. From time to time, she scratched her scalp, suspecting that fleas had jumped on her body or in her hair.

Liu Bin is not as particular as Lin Xiaoxiao, but he doesn't want to stay any longer. All the money he should have paid is out, and he won't need anything in the future, and it's still troublesome for others to stay any longer.

"I'll talk to my eldest brother and leave." Liu Bin comforted.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in response, and she watched coldly as the people who went down the mountain together were talking and laughing, including Liu Bin's nephew and sister-in-law. Liu Bin looked at this scene, shook his head and sped up the pace of going down the mountain.

When they returned to the old house of the Liu family, a few tables were set up in the courtyard, and a group of people were eating and drinking. The white cloth and other decorations on the mourning hall have been removed, and there is no longer a trace of sadness in the room.

Liu Bin didn't find Brother Liu in the crowd, and finally found him in the kitchen, where he was busy weighing food and arranging the distribution of leftovers. This is a big thing for the main family to do, and the leftovers on these tables should be sent to who should be particular, and it is easy to offend relatives and friends if they are sent wrong.
