Chapter Seventy-Five: Severing Relations
When the people outside the door saw them come out, they all looked at them.
Du Yinsheng didn't speak, he went out directly and walked towards the ancestral hall behind.
The old lady of the Du family ran away from home at the beginning, but he did not forget his ancestors, he set up an ancestral hall in the house, wrote the names of his ancestors on it, and offered incense every New Year's holiday. Later, Mrs. Du and his wife died, and their tablets were also placed in the ancestral hall.
Du Yunnian didn't know if he got Du Chensheng's orders, or was worried that Du Yinsheng would be angry with him, but he didn't say anything when he saw Du Jinning following the crowd and entering the ancestral hall together.
Under the leadership of Du Yinsheng, everyone bowed three times and bowed, and burned paper money one by one, and then withdrew.
Out of the ancestral hall, Du Yinsheng instructed Du Jinning: "The Lizheng family should have finished worshiping the ancestors, you invite him to come over and sit in the second room of the Du family." ”
"Big brother, what's wrong? Why do you want to ask for Lizheng? Du Chensheng stared at Du Yinsheng uneasily.
Just now he angrily scolded the eldest brother, making the eldest brother faint with anger, this time just after the sacrifice to the ancestor, Du Yinsheng called Lizheng, he always had a bad premonition, worried that Du Yinsheng would cut off relations with him.
Du Yinsheng ignored him, and walked out with Du Yunchang's support: "Go to the second room." ”
The matter of the division of the Du family's two rooms cannot be handled in their big house, otherwise there will be a suspicion that the big house will press the two rooms.
Du Yinsheng became stern, and Du Chensheng was afraid. He didn't dare to say anything at this time, so he had to follow Du Yinsheng back to his house.
Du Jinning ran to Zhang Hongwen's house and saw that they had already finished sacrificing their ancestors.
Zhang Hongwen was very happy when he saw Du Jinning, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”
Du Jinning saw that there were people in the house, so he simply pulled him out of the courtyard and told him about it.
Zhang Hongwen was the first to know that Du Jinning wanted to break up. At this time, he heard that Du Yunnian had also counted his gambling debts on Du Jinning, and he couldn't bear it, and said: "You wait a while, I'll call my father." So saying, he ran into the courtyard.
After a while, Zhang Guangyi came out and smiled at Du Jinning: "Don't worry, your business is on me." ”
Du Jinning was very grateful.
Although Zhang Guangyi helped her, a large part of the reason was for Guan Lehe's face, but he was able to stand up very simply at the critical moment, and Du Jinning accepted his affection.
Zhang Hongwen was not at ease, and also followed them to Du's house.
There were five or six big men sitting in the hall of the second room of the Du family, but they were all silent, and the room was silent. Seeing Zhang Guangyi come in, Du Chensheng got up to say hello, his expression full of unease.
"Sit down for a while, I'll ask Jin Cheng and Jin De to invite Uncle Zheng and Uncle Li." Du Yinsheng smiled at Zhang Guangyi.
The two were classmates when they were studying, and later became in-laws of their children, they were like brothers and sisters, and they didn't need to be polite to each other.
Zhang Guangyi nodded and sat down in the guest seat.
After a while, the two old men came back with Du Jincheng and Du Jinde.
Uncle Zheng is Zheng Lin's father. Although he was not the oldest in the village, he was also well-informed and sensible when he was young; The other Uncle Li, who has white hair, is already seventy-five years old, and he is better than his age, and he is also deaf and clear-sighted, and his actions are convenient. The two of them and Du Yinsheng are both highly respected people, and they are candidates to deal with Zhang Guangyi as witnesses if there are any family disputes in the village.
Du Chensheng's expression became heavier and heavier, and his gaze at Du Yinsheng was full of pleading.
He also asked Du Yinsheng just now, and even begged whether he had paid for it. But no matter what he said, Du Yinsheng completely ignored him, leaving him helpless.
After everyone pushed and sat down again, Du Yinsheng spoke: "Today, I invited Li Zheng, Uncle Li, and Uncle Zheng to come over, I want him to witness that our Du family's big house and the Du family's second room used to be separated, and now we plan to separate completely." Du Chensheng's family has nothing to do with my family. If they have anything to do in the future, don't look for me; If there's anything going on our side, we won't go to them. The two families are only ordinary villagers or neighbors, and there is no entanglement of interests. ”
What a severance!
Du Chensheng was completely dumbfounded.
He also had conflicts with his eldest brother before, for example, when Du Yuncheng died, he and the Niu family wanted to drown Du Jinning, Du Yinsheng had a big fight with him, and the two also said many hurtful words. But after that, the two are still brothers, and there is no emotional estrangement. Because of the pain of his loss of a child, the eldest brother was more concerned about him and often enlightened him.
Why did he have to cut off his relationship with himself after just saying a joke today?
Du Jinning was also a little confused. Didn't you say a separation? Why is the big house cut off from the second room?
Immediately, she reacted, and sat in the corner with her head down, looking like she didn't care.
Her reaction, in Du Yinsheng's eyes, was very satisfied.
Zhang Guangyi and Zhang Hongwen are also the second monks who are confused, which is completely different from what they said.
But after all, this is a family matter of the Du family, they are just a witness, and they will not interfere. What the Du family said, they just listened.
Zhang Guangyi nodded and responded: "Okay." "No judgment, no discouragement.
"Brother, eldest brother, you can't be like this, brother, I'm not sensible, what should I say that shouldn't be said, you teach me, how can you cut off relations with me?" Du Chensheng immediately wailed. is a lot older, and like that child, he is coquettish in front of Du Yinsheng.
Du Yinsheng ignored him and continued: "You also said just now, your second room is not going well, and it is all from Jinningke. How their mother and son have lived in the Du family over the years is obvious to all in the village. Before completely separating from the second room, I stretched out my hand a little longer, and became the master, separating the small third room of the Du family from the second room of the Du family. There are five of them, mother and son, and they don't want any property in the second room of the Du family, which can be regarded as a clean house; But in the future, Du Chensheng and Niu's birth, old age, sickness and death have nothing to do with them. In addition to giving Du Chensheng and his wife a New Year's gift worth 50 wen every year, they do not make any burden. ”
Before Du Chensheng could react to this, Du Yunnian immediately objected: "No, the small third room can't be separated." ”
The small third room is divided, who will plant the field in the second room? If you go out, shouldn't you give the farmer a certain amount of food? This is much more expensive than the mother and son in the third room.
The most important thing is that after the family is separated, Du Fangling can't sell it at will. His gambling debts are still counting on selling Du Fangling to pay off his debts, how can he let them go so easily?
What's more, after selling Du Fangling, there are also Du Fangfei and Du Fanghui, it's all money!
