"Divide, split?" Du Yinsheng never expected Du Jinning to say these two words.

During this time, Du Yinsheng thought about Du Jinning's matter, thinking about how to solve his problem, but he didn't think about splitting up.

First, Du Jinning still has elders alive, and in this case, the family will not be separated; Second, Du Jinning is young and can't start a household, plus a group of orphans and widows, not only does he not know what to live on, but there is no one to help support the portal.

"How did you come up with the idea of splitting up?" He asked.

Du Jinning lowered his eyes: "What else can you do if you don't split up?" My second uncle was gambling outside and owed a lot of debt. He didn't think that he had done something wrong, and he wanted to blame me for this, saying that I had defeated him. ”

Du Yinsheng and Montessori were stunned.

"Your second uncle, went out to gamble?"

"Hmm." Du Jinning nodded, "The last time I was in the city, I saw those people in the casino beating him and asking him to pay him back. Thirty taels of silver. She smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Does your grandfather know?" Montessori asked.

"Yes."

Du Yinsheng and Montessori glanced at each other and frowned.

Du Jinning said again: "After the family is separated, what happened to them, and they can't complain about me." Moreover, my mother and sister and I don't have to live this kind of angry life anymore. ”

Du Yinsheng sighed: "You are also angry." Don't say that your grandfather is still alive and won't break up; Even if he agrees, what do you live on with a house of women and children, orphans and widows? Besides, you are still too young to start a household, and even if you are divided, it will not be considered a separation, but it will no longer care whether you live or die. ”

In the past, he thought that Du Jinning was too smart to be like a ten-year-old child, but what he said just now was pure childlike words in Du Yinsheng's eyes.

Montessori also said: "Brother Ning, this is not the time to talk angrily, don't be confused." ”

Du Jinning glanced at the door, hesitated and did not speak.

Seeing this, Du Yinsheng hurriedly signaled to Montessori.

Montessori understood, got up and said, "I don't know how your medicine is boiling, I'll go and tell Yunchang's daughter-in-law." With that, he went out.

As soon as she walked outside, Du Yinsheng and Du Jinning in the house heard Du Yunnian smile and said, "I was about to go to see how my uncle was, and you came out, aunt." Then he asked, "How is my uncle doing now?" ”

"It's okay, I'm talking to Brother Ning." Montessori glanced at him with a smile and instructed Zhang, "Go and see how the medicine is doing." After boiling, let it dry first, and then pour it out after a while. ”

When Zhang answered, Montessori turned around and came in and closed the door with his hand.

Du Yinsheng shook his head and said to Du Jinning: "Okay, if there is anything to say, you can say it now." ”

Only then did Du Jinning speak: "Uncle Grandfather, I didn't say that I was angry when I said that the family was separated. You can also see that my second uncle is a bottomless pit, and with him, my grandfather has no money to send me to school; And my eldest uncle's burden is also heavy, so he can't let his wife and children tighten their clothes and food just because he is providing me with education, right? Even if I took out the money I earned from writing scripts, it was still in the public domain, and it was either used to fill in the holes for my second uncle, or it went into my grandmother's cupboard, so I don't want them to take it out for me to study. ”

Du Yinsheng thought about the virtues of those people in the second room, sighed secretly and nodded, agreeing with Du Jinning's words.

"But it's different when you're separated. Because of my father, my mother will grit her teeth and provide me with education no matter how difficult it is. They tenant other people's fields to plant, and in addition to paying rent and taxes, they can more or less have some money left; But they don't separate the family, they just work for the family, and they can't get a penny. Even if my mother wants to send me to study with you, she is powerless. ”

"With the money I have to write a script, and then with the income from my mother's farming, I can save money a year, and I can still earn twenty taels of tuition. When the time comes, I will copy books for others and learn to draw dots, and I guess there will be some progress. When I'm older and more capable, life will get better and better year by year. It's better than working at home without separation, right? ”

After Du Jinning's analysis, Du Yinsheng felt that it was very reasonable.

Moreover, although Du Jinning didn't say some things, Du Yinsheng could make them up by himself.

For example, Du Fangfei's dowry, if the family is not separated, then there is only one place for the dowry, that is, to fill the hole of Du Yunnian's gambling debts; can be separated, and the dowry can be used as tuition for Du Jinning. This is one of them; Second, since Guan Shanchang values Du Jinning's qualifications, he can't watch his beloved disciples stump for a penny, right? It's bound to fund one or two. But without separation, Du Jinning can't go to school, and there is no way to talk about this funding; Third, the money is really not enough, the Du family has Du Jinning to study, and Du Yunchang can rest, they don't have a big house to spend, and there are always more than a dozen taels of silver lent to Du Jinning in a year. lent it to Du Jinning, it can be regarded as money to be used on the blade, and the people in their big house are also willing; But if you don't borrow it when you are separated, who knows what the vampires in the second room will do with this money?

Thinking about it like this, Du Yinsheng suddenly felt that splitting up was the best way.

"You have a point." Du Yinsheng nodded, and began to think about how to let Du Jinning separate from the second room, this thought, a difficulty came to mind, "But you are not old enough to start a household." Do you want to move out of the house first? ”

Du Jinning shook his head: "No, I want to set up a household, otherwise my eldest sister will have to be sold by my second uncle at some point." ”

She raised her head and said, "Brother Zhang's father is Li Zheng, and Guan Shanchang is my husband, I want to change my age to two years older, shouldn't it be difficult?" ”

Du Yinsheng's eyes lit up immediately.

Yes, the law is nothing more than human feelings. Guan Shanchang is a person who even has to be a county lord, and Zhang Hongwen is studying in Boyue Academy, Zhang Li must be willing to sell Guan Shanchang a favor, this change of age is not too difficult for him.

After solving this problem, he perked up and said to Du Jinning: "After sacrificing to the ancestor in a while, you tell your grandfather about this." Don't be afraid, with me, they won't dare to do anything to you. ”

Du Jinning knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "There is Grandfather Lauber." ”

This kind of gift is fashionable in this era, if Du Yinsheng can let her be separated from the second room of the Du family, she will not be stingy with these three rings.

"Get up, get up."

Du Yinsheng struggled to get out of bed, and walked out with the support of Montessori: "Go, worship the ancestors first." ”

Du Jinning didn't move, and said in his mouth: "Uncle Grandfather, why don't I worship my ancestors today." Anyway, I haven't sacrificed to my ancestors for so many years, and now it's not a bad year. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, come with me." Du Yinsheng can't be said.

Du Jinning had to go out.
