After returning home, Zhou Xin didn't say anything, Zhou Deng hurriedly came over to help unload the car, the two grandsons came over to see if there was anything to eat, and Zheng also looked at the door. The third daughter-in-law is very quiet now, Pearl changed her clothes, went to see Zhou Ze, talked for a while, told Zhou Ze the news of her sister-in-law, and also said about the separation of the family, originally planned to go out of the New Year and go to the village chief's house to divide, but Zhou Ze insisted on being there, which was a little worrying.

Out of Zhou Ze's room, Pearl went to the kitchen to cook, the four girls were studying on the side, Pearl didn't say anything, and when Meng and Zheng, as well as Zhang who followed behind, came in to cook for everyone with a cauldron, the four girls went out, Pearl had already warned them, for their reputation, but also out of courtesy, they should not have disputes with their sisters-in-law.

Now Meng Shi is the only one who dares to take the initiative to talk to Pearl, "Mother, what are you doing tonight?" ”

"Look at it! There are a lot of braised pork, but it's not enough for the whole family to eat, so you can prepare some land. Stir-fry another dish, and that's it. Eat rice today, don't make anything else. ”

"Alas, well, don't worry! Mother. Meng Shi is very happy, although the family can see the meat for a long time, but it is not for everyone to let go of eating. In the words of my mother-in-law, it should be a combination of meat and vegetables.

After dinner, Pearl told everyone that they would be separated in a few days, and everyone had a plan in mind. In a word, everyone's hearts are in chaos, Zhou Rong thought in his heart, this is the last chance, he wants to fight for the greatest interests in everything, don't you want him to go out? He just won't get out. He occupies the position of the eldest son, and if he wants to let him go, he will have to pay more price.

What Zhou Xin thought was that he could do whatever he wanted at home, as long as he could keep his father from being angry, the rest would be up to him. The third Zhou Deng was thinking that this was just a division of the eldest brother's family, as for them, he was going to join the army, and he would earn his own property when the time came. Manly husband. Don't worry about that.

The day of family separation has finally arrived, because of Zhou Ze's insistence, it was carried out in Zhou's house, except for the village chief. There are also a few old people in the village. Neighbor. As for the in-laws, the people of the Zheng family have no face, this has been said a long time ago. Zhang's family is even more so, since there are already two families who are not coming, and the people of the Meng family are not stupid, the mother-in-law is so towards her daughter, and they go over again, doesn't it make the in-laws unhappy? If you don't go, they say that it's their family's business, and no one cares about their daughter's family's family affairs.

Zhou Ze, the head of the family, was the first to speak, and said, "The situation of our family is basically like this, a house in the county will be distributed to the boss, and fifty acres of medium land will also be given to the boss." For the rest, the second family gives 20 acres of good land, and the third family is the same, the house is in the village, and when the weather is warm, build two rooms. What do you think? ”

Zhou Rong opened his mouth at this time and said, "Zhongtian? Why aren't there any superior ones? Besides, if we go to the county, how big is the house, and there is no settling-in fee, where do we go and how do we live? ”

Zhou Ze said, "Your younger brother still has to build a house, and you still have four younger sisters who are not married, don't you need money?" Isn't it enough to give you half of the field and buy a house in the county? ”

"How can this be? How much is this, living in the county, buying vegetables costs money, and I have to study! What is this fifty acres of land for? No separation, I don't go. ”

Pearl looked at Zhou Rong and said, "Five hundred taels? Two thousand taels? How about giving you four younger sisters? ”

As soon as Zhou Rong heard this, he was discouraged, and the people around him also knew the inside story, and an old man said, "When you are the eldest son, you can't be filial piety in front of your parents, and you also want the best land in the family, and it's not enough to give a house, and you don't take into account the elderly parents in the family, the sister who is not married, and even did it, connecting outsiders, and framing the sister together, such a thing is in our village, if you don't estimate the reputation of our village, do you still use your father and mother to speak to divide the family?"

Guo Changsheng also said, "This is already considered to be benevolent and righteous, what do you want?" ”

Zheng knelt down with an ordinary voice at this time, "Dad, mother, we were wrong, but we can't help it, Xianggong just wants to be admitted to the juren, champion, crazy devil, especially knowing that Xiucai was bought, and I don't know it." I followed those people out to eat and drink all day long, and my persuasion didn't work. It is said that only by making friends with those people can you meet better teachers and go to better schools. Forty acres of land is a lot, but ...... But when Xianggong and those people go out, which month can't they get ten taels of silver? If there is a relationship between people and more needs, the daughter-in-law is not greedy, but the father, mother, when you get to the city, the rent of the forty acres of land alone is not enough. Mother, I still have two children......"

Zheng's like this, it really has a bit of an effect, she is telling the truth, but Pearl can't open this opening, so she said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"How much money our family has, everyone doesn't know this, just give us a place to live, don't give anything else, it seems to be very fair, I am the eldest son, I should be in this family, if my father dies, I have the final say in the affairs of this family."

Pearl looked at Zhou Rong calmly, Guo Changsheng couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Zhou Rong, what's the matter with you, we all know it, do you really want us to make a big deal out of it?" Your father ...... here, looking back at Zhou Ze's face didn't seem to be very good, this situation, Pearl naturally saw it, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he threw out a purse, Zhou Rong subconsciously took it, opened it and saw that it was a jade pendant, some years, Pearl sighed and said,

"You take this jade pendant and go to the capital to find Bai Xingjian, there are still two hundred taels of silver here." After Pearl finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and Pearl said, "That's a scumbag, the person who sees you, and this jade pendant, can help you to what extent, it's not necessarily." That's already the most we can give you, though. However, if you accept this jade pendant, it means that you are not from the Zhou family. It doesn't matter to us what we do in the future. ”

"Okay, I agree." Zhou Rong looked at this jade pendant, and knew very well in his heart that this was not something that ordinary people could have, and with his mother's words and deeds, he knew at a glance that it was not from ordinary people. This must be his own father, he has to plan it well.

Zhou Rong was afraid that Pearl would regret it, so he hurriedly pulled Zheng out. Solved one, there are two others, Zhou Ze looked at these two, and discussed with Pearl, so that if they all go out, they can't say anything.

Pearl was very calm and said, "I have already written the paperwork, and I will let Zhou Rong sign it in a while." The eldest brother of the village chief and several eldest brothers should also be witnesses! ”

"Okay, so be it!" As soon as Guo Changsheng saw the pearl, he gave out two hundred taels of silver at once, and knew that the second and third children would not go out.

When everyone left, Zhou Ze said to Pearl, "You ......"

"The wolf's cub still has to follow the wolf. We don't adapt to their way of life and thinking. Living with them will bring us nothing but disaster and trouble. Wait a minute, I'll ask the village chief to go to the county household registration to change it. From now on, it has nothing to do with us. ”

After Pearl finished speaking, he left, Zhou Xin and his family didn't say anything, but Zhou Deng and his wife looked ignorant, didn't they say that they were separated? Why didn't anyone ask their opinions?

The events of that year, the pearl has almost recalled, and the war, there were cheats, abandonments, even being sold, being ****, all kinds of things, even as a pearl who has lived for three lifetimes, I don't want to recall, the original owner became indifferent and cowardly, which is normal. Fortunately, the appearance of the pearl lifted the threat of the boss in time.

The next day, the family packed up their things and left with their things, without even looking at their parents, Zhou Ze couldn't help sighing, but also sad that so many years of parenting were in vain, Pearl secretly sighed that he was late, and he should have let them leave early. When I went to bed last night, Pearl's ears were so good, and I heard Zhou Ze and Zhou Xin tossing and turning next door, the eldest and his wife were laughing with silver tickets, and the third was muttering and guessing. There are four daughters, although they don't know what happened, but they are still very relieved about the departure of their eldest brother. In fact, when Pearl heard that Zhou Ze insisted on participating in the separation, she had already expected that the eldest and his wife would be ruined, and he was worried that these two would make Zhou Ze unbearable, so he hurriedly sent it away. Even if they will go to the capital, they will have to toss it for more than half a year, plus the time to deal with the house and fields, how can it be delayed for a year, that jade pendant, when they were children, the boss had seen it, and other boxes or something, for him, it was not so important. In fact, there are some jewelry in the box, that is, jade bracelets, gold hairpins or something, but they have long been consumed in these years. Then I put some scraps of silver.

Pearl told her husband that they would plant rice this year, and if there was anything they didn't understand, they would ask someone to reassure him. In the past, their family had never planted rice, but this year there was this idea, it can only be said that this is Zhou Ze's hope, it is a wish that he has been thinking about in the past, but he has not been able to realize it, Pearl is afraid that he has no request, so he is naturally happy to agree, saying that he wants Zhou Ze to see the golden rice. It's just that in his heart, I wonder if he can wait until that time.

This is the first time Pearl has faced, waiting for her husband's death, or is it a person who is still willing to marry her, love her, take care of her and her children, and work hard to give them a happy and stable life, whether it is in ancient times or in modern times, how rare is such a person? Pearl regrets why she has not met such a man, and she is even more sad that such a person will have to be with his 'wife' forever, and the person is going to die, but he still has to have his wish unfulfilled, and he is reluctant to leave the person, and he has not done what he has done, and he has not fulfilled his obligations and responsibilities. What she didn't get, she hoped could be seen in someone else. What I can't get, it's also a comfort to let others achieve it. (To be continued.) )
