Chapter 243: Breaking Relatives and Trust
Chu turned his head to Liu and whispered, "Do your two aunts and sisters guarantee that they can take us in?" ”
Liu nodded his head and said: "Sure, my cousin has been living in my house when she was a child, raising her until she was eight or nine years old, and later married a husband who opened a rice shop in Jiangnan. ”
Chu Shi looked at Xiangling and said categorically: "I know what you want to do when you break off your relationship, don't you just want your widow to remarry?" If you want to break off your relatives, you can give me five hundred taels of silver, plus fifty catties of millet and two catties of salt, and I won't do anything less than one child or a grain of rice. ”
Chu said categorically, not to leave Xiangling room for bargaining, I thought that Xiangling would mediate with her for a while, but I didn't expect Xiangling to agree very happily: "Okay, now set up a note, as soon as the note is established, the money, grain and salt will be given to you immediately, and I will be responsible for dividing the household registration." ”
Xiangling had five hundred taels of silver tickets in her arms, and only asked Sanzhu to help her run home for a leg and help her go home to get rice and salt.
The second pillar began to write the note.
Before he could put down his pen, he heard someone stop him: "Xiangling, wait a while before writing." ”
It was Lin Yue who spoke.
Lin Yue took three or four steps to the side, automatically kept a distance from the people in the old mansion, and said to Chu Chun word by word: "Xianggong, I won't go with the old mansion if I am killed, you, either stay in the village with me, or give me a letter of resignation." ”
Chu Chun was taken aback by Lin Yue's sudden behavior, and said eagerly: "Yue'er, what are you doing insisting on staying in the village?" When the plague of locusts comes, you must not starve to death? Let's go together, my cousin's house has a grain store, and I can't be hungry. ”
Lin Yue stroked her stomach and said, "In this catastrophic year, I don't believe that my cousin will accept our family, besides, I may be pregnant and can't stand this toss." Rather than worrying and being afraid, I'd rather stay and fight the locusts with Xiangling. ”
Chu Chun's eyes widened, and then he looked at Lin Yue's small belly happily and said, "Yue'er, are you pregnant?" ”
Lin Yue nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten, if it weren't for the locust plague, I would have asked you to find Lang Zhong's pulse." ”
Since the last miscarriage, Lin Yue has not been pregnant, Chu Chun didn't dare to say it, but he was anxious, but he was pregnant, and he was faced with the choice of whether to go or not.
Let's go, Lin Yue is still young when she is pregnant, and there is a chance that the child will not be able to keep it after tossing along the way;
If you don't go, the locust plague will come......
Chu Chun raised his eyes to look at Xiangling, and found that Xiangling looked indifferent, not flustered at all, just like the backbone of Chujia Village, most of the villagers were only looking at her, and he, maybe together with those villagers, trusted her this time.
Chu Chun turned his face to Chu Shiyun and said, "Dad, let me and Yue'er also write it in the severance document, and Lin Yue and I won't leave." ”
This sentence immediately stabbed the hornet's nest, and Liu came up and gave Chu Chun a slap, and scolded angrily: "For the sake of a little slut, you actually want to break off your relationship with your mother?" Your heart is eaten by dogs? ”
Chu Chun wiped the tears in his eyes and said, "Mother, I don't want to, but now I can't help it!" Yue'er finally got pregnant, and I would never have left her alone in the village; My cousin's family has food, and I can't stop you from going, only when I have a certificate of breaking off my relatives, Li Zheng will give you a customs clearance paperwork......"
Chu glared at Xiangling viciously and scolded: "Troublemaker! ”
Chu Shi looked at Chu Chun and said word by word: "If you want to break off your relatives, you can take out the filial piety money that should be given to me in the next twenty years, and if it is counted as one tael a year, you will take twenty taels of silver." ”
"Mother! Chu Chun is your eldest grandson! "Liu is not satisfied, Chu Chun and Lin Yue are not with themselves, it is also the meat that fell from their bodies, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be ruthless, and I slandered Xiangling for not saying it, and it was on my son's head again.
Chu's eyes glared and said: "The poor family is rich, how much silver does it cost us to escape all the way?" How much silver do you have to chew for more than a year? If it weren't for their poverty, I would have asked for five hundred taels of silver. ”
Although the Chu family eats turtles everywhere in Xiangling, he is also a scheming person.
For more than a year, Lin Yue and Chu Chun have been working day and night with Xiangling, and the full amount of money they have saved is almost twenty taels of silver.
Chu Chun's face is not to mention how ugly it is, even if Chu does not sign the letter of intimacy because he is the eldest son and grandson, he will not be so disappointed.
Lin Yue didn't have any expectations for the old mansion, so she couldn't talk about disappointment, and nodded decisively: "I'll give this silver." ”
Lin Yue took out a key from her arms, handed it to Chu Chun and said, "You go home and get the silver." ”
Chu Chun could only go home to get the silver, and Xiangling said to Erzhuzi: "Brother Erzhu, it's all about the Chu family, it's all written in a document of breaking off relatives." ”
The two pillars were completed overnight, and the paperwork was quickly written.
Xiangling took out five silver tickets of one hundred taels from her bosom and asked Sanzhuzi to give salt and millet to the old mansion.
Several people in the old mansion all signed and drew the charge.
At the moment when Chu Shilai finally signed the letter, Xiangling suddenly felt relieved, feeling that the shackles on her body had finally been removed, and her own home was called real freedom at this time.
Seeing that Chu Lizheng agreed to Xiangling's request to break off his family, a young woman walked out and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Lizheng, I won't leave either, if the eldest brother and the second brother want to leave, just like the Chu family, let's break off with our third room." The house in the detached courtyard in the west head was given to me, and I left fifty catties of grain and ten taels of silver. Pots and pans, and quilts are reserved for four people each. ”
Li Zheng saw that it was the daughter-in-law of the three duns, and when she saw that the two rooms were unwilling to take them with the three rooms, she simply didn't leave, learned from the Chu family, and broke up with the main family.
Chu Lizheng was a little embarrassed: "Erdun didn't come over, can you call the shots?" ”
Sandunzi's daughter-in-law nodded and said, "I can call the shots." ”
Seeing that Chu Li's face was a little loose, Erdunzi was not happy, and his face fell and he said to his brother and daughter-in-law: "Why are you so shy and not ashamed?" Sandunzi's legs are not good, and the work at home is all counting on me and my eldest brother, you three rooms and a family of four are all idle meals, and the lion opens his mouth widely, and he wants money and food......"
Sandunzi's daughter-in-law gritted her teeth and said: "Sandunzi's legs can't get off the kang or do work, but his legs are rolled for the whole family when he fell off the donkey cart when he was harvesting wheat, not when he was eating idle meals, you can't dislike him." As I said just now, I want the whole family to go or stay together, I won't leave anyway, you can do it. ”
Sandunzi's daughter-in-law decided to use this as a threat and tore her face with the other two rooms.
The daughter-in-law of Da Dunzi, who had been silent, said: "Why don't you bring the third room with you, pitiful, everyone will carry it by hand, it shouldn't be too tiring......"
Sandunzi's daughter-in-law shook her head stubbornly and said, "I won't go with you."
Chu Lizheng's daughter-in-law Luo also persuaded: "Daughter-in-law of Sandunzi, you have to take care of both the children and the Sandunzi alone, it is better to go with the two eldest brothers, relatives, and have a ...... to take care of."
Sandunzi's daughter-in-law red-eyed and said: "Sister-in-law, when I was a child, I heard my grandmother say that she had fled the country, and she couldn't exchange gold and silver for food, and she would eat it easily, if it was really serious like that, my children would definitely be the first to be given up by them, I can't trust them, I can trust Xiangling......"
It's not that the daughter-in-law of Sandunzi is suspicious, but that she has experienced a lot of sad things in the past, and her heart is bright, and she pretends to be deaf and dumb for her sister-in-law's fake kindness.
Xiangling looked at this woman who usually had a low sense of presence in the village in astonishment, but she didn't expect that her trust in herself exceeded that of her so-called relatives.
The villagers also fell silent, and several families consciously withdrew from the ranks of refugees and decided to stay in the village and fight the disaster with the villagers.
After the Erdunzi family discussed, they really issued a letter of severance, and the Sandunzi family stayed in the village.
The matter finally came to an end, and only 15 farmers finally decided to leave.
