Chapter 25: Settlement is not OK
Jiang Jingxue came back to her senses, and suddenly paused, Xiuxiu looked back at her again, "Xue'er, are you tired, why don't we rest for a while?" ”
Jiang Jingxue frowned, then shook her head, "It's okay, keep walking, my injury doesn't hurt anymore, you don't have to treat me as a patient, I can work in the field." ”
Xiuxiu covered her mouth and laughed, "I don't believe you can work, you look so thin, what kind of work can you do?" ”
Jiang Jingxue raised her eyebrows, "You treat me as a fool, don't you?" I'm thin, but I'm strong, and you see if I'll work. ”
The two of them talked and walked in the direction of Xiangshui Village, and just about to go up the mountain, they saw the family pulling an ox cart over the mountain, and were walking down the mountain, so they stopped and waited for them on the side of the road.
When they got closer, they found that the Wen family had been scolding, and Jiang Jingxue knew that they were really in trouble when they went to pull grain.
Walking closer, Fang said worriedly, "Why did Xue'er come out?" ”
Jiang Jingxue hurriedly said, "Mother, I have nothing to do again, why can't I come out?" I'm just going to see if something is wrong with you? They won't let the grain be pulled away? ”
Fang Shi nodded, Jiang Jingxue looked back, her father's face was even more ugly, Fang Shi patted her hand, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go back and talk about it." ”
The grain was pulled back together, and it was moved into the barn, and everyone gathered in the upper room to talk.
Jiang Jingxue was listening from the sidelines, and only then did she know what was going on.
Sure enough, the Jiang family was not a man who kept his promise, he gave them the grain before, and now he knew that he was going to pull it to the Fang family, so the Zhang family made a reason, saying that the division was for them, and it was not for the Fang family's mother's family, so why did they pull the grain to their mother's house?
Knowing that she couldn't take advantage of it, she still wanted to make trouble, and she made trouble in front of her for a long time.
Where would Wen be afraid of her? Surely she won't be allowed to bargain, doesn't she just want some food back? But she can't follow her wishes, if she wants to continue to make trouble, Wen can still let her take out a few more bags of grain, and in the end, of course, she will win all, but she is choked by the anger of the family.
Wen said, "Let's not mention the bad people, now that the grain has been moved back, it is all placed there, and you also have a number in your hearts, and when you settle down and build a house, you will move back." ”
Jiang He said, "Mother, what are you talking about, our family of four can spend a lot of food to eat, these are not enough at all, we live here to cause trouble for you, and now I have no ability, I can only take these grains and put them in the public school, I can earn money another day, and then make up for everything I owe to the family." ”
Wen didn't speak, Fang Chengdong said on the side, "Don't say anything you owe or don't owe your family, you still have work to do, you can't delay, the two children will reach the age of paying taxes in the coming year, if the marriage is not settled, this money has to be prepared, a total of six taels of silver, but you have to be a father to earn it, and you have to save money to repair the house." ”
"Tonight, I will take you to Village Chief Zhu's house to sit down and tell him about letting you settle down in the village.
Saying that, Fang Chengdong looked at Wen again, "Old woman, you can prepare a few catties of meat and carry it to the door, it should be almost gone." ”
After talking about the matter in the upper room, Wen discussed it with the two daughters-in-law again to see how to prepare their residence.
The Fang family has such a few houses, and now they are full, Qingman and Qingsheng have one room, Xiuxiu and Dongmei have one room, Jiang Chengjia and Jiang Jingxue are squeezed with them separately, and Jiang He and his wife are a little troublesome.
After pondering and pondering, Wen's made a decision, "In this way, your father's house and I are bigger, and we still have an old bed, put it in the inner room, let the eldest and second child cut some bamboo and weave a few partitions today, and divide one room into two, and live like this, and we will work together as a family in the coming year, and we will build a few grass houses for you anyway." ”
Fang said, "How can this be done, as soon as we come, it will be inconvenient for my father and mother to live." ”
Wen waved his hand, "What's convenient or inconvenient, just live like this, and a few months will pass." ”
So according to Wen's arrangement, the family got busy again, and the upper room was indeed relatively large, and the middle partition was cut off, and it was used as two rooms to sleep.
It's a little inconvenient, but that's all it takes.
Jiang Jingxue admires this mother-in-law very much, she has her own set of methods for doing things, and once she decides, she does not hesitate, she does what she has set up, and she is resolute, and everyone in this family listens to her very much.
In the afternoon, the upper room was separated, Wen went to cut three catties of pork and came back, kept one catty at home, and put on the remaining two catties with straw rope, and then took another basket, picked up a basket of eggs, and took a piece to the village chief's house.
After having dinner at home, they went to the village chief's house together, originally asked Fang Chengdong to take it with them, but later Wen was afraid that this matter would not go well, so they went with them.
When they arrived, the village chief's house had just had dinner, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly asked the child to come over with the bench.
Sitting down in the upper room, the village chief smiled and said, "Why did Brother Fang come to me today, but what's the matter?" ”
Fang Chengdong smiled, "What? Can't you come and sit if you're fine? These days, I am not busy with work in the fields, so I come to visit the door. ”
Village Chief Zhu was a very direct person, and waved his hand, "You can't be idle, how can you have time to come and sit with me, not to mention that it's all night, if you come one step later, the courtyard should be closed." ”
Wen said on the side, "Village Chief, I won't tell you anything, we are indeed here today for something. ”
Looking at the things next to her, you should also know, Village Chief Zhu didn't speak, and Wen continued, "Old man, tell me quickly!" If this is to be done, the village chief has to nod his head. ”
Fang Chengdong sighed, "You must have heard about the affairs of my second daughter's family. ”
The village chief nodded, "It's true that I've heard about it, hey, it's also a helpless thing, there are so many people in the world, where is it easy to talk?" It's just that there is someone who is not easy to get along with, Changrong also grew up watching me, and I am angry when I know about her in-laws' family. ”
Fang Chengdong sighed again, "I came to you today for this matter, and now we are taking them back to our own house to live, and it is not a way to go on for a long time, Jianghe is good at his hands, what's the matter with living in our house?" People should say that this is the son-in-law who has entered the family, they are a family of four, and they must have a place to live, so I want them to settle down in the village, the village chief, do you think this thing can be done? ”
