Chapter 13: The Three Brothers
The separation of families is a major event in ancient times and in modern times.
If the parents are alive, the parents choose to live with their own children, or live alone, and each room is on time to offer rice and cloth to support their parents.
There is also a saying about how to divide the family, although there have been several empresses in this dynasty, but the patriarchal society is deep-rooted, and the men often divide the land, which is called the descendant field.
Du Yingqiu knew that this matter was a big matter, so he brought the silver money exchanged for the small animal skin, and took a piece of white rabbit skin that had not been replaced and went to the village chief's house.
"Separation?" As soon as the village chief accepted some of the silver money returned from the second room and the rabbit skin as a New Year's gift, he heard Du Yingqiu say this, and the chair couldn't sit still and stood up, "It's so good, how do you say that you want to split up?" ”
Thinking about the rumors that have been spreading in the village recently, the village chief's face was slightly gloomy, "What kind of demon is Du Shi doing again?" ”
Different from the domineering of the Du family at home, at this time, Du Yingqiu's eyes were full of tears, and she bowed deeply to the village chief, "In the past, the younger generation was ignorant, and I failed to teach my husband and children well, which made Siya suffer." Now that she has died once, she no longer wants to be tortured by others. My mother has the truth of her housekeeper, and I dare not disobey as a daughter-in-law, but really, it is really ......"
It's no wonder that the Jin family didn't like Du Yingqiu before, Du Yingqiu was born good-looking, especially a pair of eyes are the most expressive, and Shan Tao inherited her mother's appearance well.
In the past in the mountain family, Du Yingqiu loved to cry when she was angry, and when she cried, she didn't finish crying, but she looked at people with tearful eyes, which was difficult to make people feel disgusted and feel pity.
However, now Du Yingqiu, although she has also made a soft posture outside, her back is erect, tears do not fall, she is a little more resolute, and she is not as soft as a silk flower.
The daughter-in-law of the village chief who received the rabbit skin can't put it down, and it is rare to find a few warm clothes in the countryside in winter, this rabbit skin is made into gloves, or it is suitable to make a collar, and it is even more rare to have pure white without a single miscellaneous hair.
With the addition of rabbit skin, the village chief's daughter-in-law persuaded, "If you are in charge, you can go with Qiu Niang to have a look, I see that those words have noses and eyes, and they are indispensable to the Du family." ”
"Alas, then I'll go with you to take a look, but this matter of separation, don't mention it again." The village chief took the crutches, wrapped them in a thick coat, and followed Du Yingqiu to the other side of the mountain house, persuading him on the way.
"Your mother's temperament is a little left, but in the end it is an elder. Besides, the relationship between your Erlang and your uncle's family is ...... It's hard to separate families. ”
The uncle's family mentioned by the village chief is not the Du family, but the mother's family of Shan Dalang and Shan Erlang's mother-in-law, Wang.
Du Yingqiu only listened respectfully, but her heart was full of question marks, her original body had a poor relationship with Shan Erlang, and she naturally didn't know much about Shan Erlang's uncle, so she had to go back and ask.
The matter of dividing the family, in addition to the need for a respected elder in the clan to do notarization, also needs the maternal uncle of the heir's uncle's family, that is, the brother of the original Wang family, to come forward, if there is no brother, the Wang family's maiden family should have a close relative.
Hurried to the mountain house, and at this time Du Shi had already lost his temper again.
She knows that she is at the expense of this matter, but she doesn't want to go to the step of splitting up, she has a pair of children by herself, her son is still studying in the county, and her daughter will marry sooner or later, and now she has to live on the big house and the second room.
Seeing the village chief coming, Du Shi stepped forward to greet him with a smile, "Why are you here, there is a little matter at home, and the child is not sensible and asks you to run." Do you have any rules for the daughter-in-law of the second room, don't go and pour water for the village chief! ”
This was clearly to support Du Yingqiu, the village chief wrinkled his brows and waved his hand, and said angrily, "I won't drink the water, let's take care of your affairs today." ”
Jin was prepared for a long time, helped pour hot water for the village chief, and drove out the half-grown son who was watching the excitement at home, "Go to your second uncle's house and see if there is any help." ”
Whether the family gets a share or not today, it is the business of the adults, and the juniors are not allowed to mix here.
Dazhu honestly took the two small ones to the second house, in fact, the door was open, as long as he didn't whisper, he could always hear it.
Lying on the outside of the bed, Shan Tao felt more and more neck pain, Du Yingqiu helped her correct the misplaced bones, but to reduce the swelling, she still needed to ask the doctor to prescribe external medicine, and now she can only lie down and rest temporarily.
Sanzhu is young, he is very favored in the big house, and no matter how skinny he is, he will receive a few slaps on his buttocks, and he has never suffered such a serious injury as Shantao.
Sanzhu, who now has a good relationship with Siya, looked at the miserable appearance of his little sister, and felt very unbearable, kicked a few steps in front of the bed, and gently blew a few breaths on Shantao's injury, "Siya, does it hurt, the third brother blows it for you." ”
The relationship between the two pillars and the mountain peach who followed Shan Tao to the West Mountain every other day is also good, looking at the injury, he only frowned, "Grandma is so ruthless, Siya, don't worry, the village chief is here, maybe we can split up, let Grandma follow her baby son to eat and drink spicy food." ”
"Elder Hu Qin is not allowed to gossip." Dazhu gave Erzhu a brain meltdown, he is older, he will be able to say kiss in two years, and his personality is also calm, although he is not familiar with Shan Tao, but he also has a big brother, seeing that Shan Tao's lips are chapped, he helped to warm water, "Drink water, Siya?" ”
Being concerned by the three brothers in one breath, Shan Tao was a little embarrassed, her cheeks turned red, and she stammered, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, it's scary to look at." I can't move my neck right now, so feed my dad some water. ”
The completely ignored Yamajiro smiled bitterly, there was no way, he could only bear the crime of bad gambling with his original body, and he would not be welcomed.
Although Dazhu didn't look down on the second uncle in his heart, he didn't say anything and helped feed him a few mouthfuls of water.
Shan Erlang, who moistened his throat, slowly gained some strength, although his legs under the quilt were still trembling, but it did not affect his speech, "This family can't be divided for the time being." ”
"Why can't you tell the difference? Second uncle, do you still think that milk is good for you? Erzhu thought thoroughly, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but contradict a sentence, and his eyes were about to roll to the sky.
Yamajiro was not angry, and did not say that this was a mess left by the original body, it was a good thing for the young man to be angry when he saw injustice, so he only smiled and said, "I also want to split up, but this matter requires my maternal uncle to come forward, so it's no fun." ”
"Mother's uncle? Is it grandma's family? Sanzhu asked ignorantly, he was young, and he had only seen Du's mother's family, "Grandma doesn't have a brother, only a lot of sisters and sisters." ”
"No, the second uncle is talking about our grandmother's brother." Dazhu knows a little about the entanglements of these fathers, and he also understands why the second uncle said that there is no fun in separating the family now.
Wang's family fell ill because of Erlang Shengshan, and passed away less than a year after giving birth, and it is a high-risk thing for women to give birth in the countryside, and death is common.
Therefore, the relationship between the Wang family's mother's family and the Shan family did not deteriorate because of this, but because of the two bloodlines left by the Wang family, they moved around a lot until the Du family entered the door.
Erzhu also knew about this, and avoided the injury to help Shan Tao tuck the quilt, and sneered, "That's not thanks to the second uncle, the Wang family is afraid that they don't want to step into the door of our Shan family in this life." ”
