Chapter 14 Finally have a small yard of his own
The eldest son and the second son insisted on their own words, and they were unwilling to give in, and the old lady only felt quite uncomfortable when she saw this scene.
It is said that the son is too big to be a mother, and after the son marries his daughter-in-law, he has his own careful thoughts.
Hearing the two of them arguing, the old lady frowned, and only after a long time did she speak, "It is said that brothers eat in the same pot and eat morning and night to become enemies, it seems that this sentence is true, old man, what do you think of this?" ”
The old man looked at the two brothers in front of him, frowned, knocked on the dry tobacco stick in his hand, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Since we can't go together, let's divide it." ”
As soon as the final word was heard, Meng Hongtu suddenly had a smile on his face.
Meng Hongyuan opened his mouth, looked at his father's eyes, and swallowed back the words in his mouth for a while.
"In that case, let Hongyuan bring Xiaoyan back tomorrow morning and officially give it to the second child."
After the old man finished speaking, he went back to the back room directly, Meng Hongtu saw that the matter was reached, and after glancing at Zhu Juan, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
When Meng Hongyuan rode back to Grandma Cui's house on a motorcycle, it was already dark, and when he saw that his expression was wrong after entering the door, Cui Xiaoyan hurriedly asked, "How is it in my hometown, what happened?" ”
Seeing the worry on his daughter-in-law's face, Meng Hongyuan only felt extremely aggrieved, glanced at the girl who was still in bed, and said in a low voice, "The eldest brother proposed to split the family today, and the father agreed." ”
Hearing this, Cui Xiaoyan was also surprised.
"Because of Feifei?"
She almost immediately thought of the cause of the incident, it must have been because of Feifei's fine, otherwise the old family would not have said that.
"Well, I was fined 3,000 yuan, my father handed over the money, and my eldest brother took the opportunity to let the family separate."
Cui Xiaoyan was also shocked to hear that her father-in-law had directly paid 3,000 yuan, but she soon understood that the eldest brother's family wanted to divide their family so much, and they were afraid that they would still have the idea of beating the old couple.
"What did Daddy say?"
"The eldest brother said that the 3,000 yuan is equivalent to what my father and mother paid us in advance, and the old couple didn't say anything, I don't know what we can get when we split up tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Meng Hongyuan's face was very lost, he was the second child of the old Meng family, with the eldest brother above and the younger sister below, plus he had an upright personality, so he was not the most favored one at home.
But the old couple knew about Meng Yujie's household registration, why did they favor his eldest brother when they knew?
Meng Hongyuan couldn't figure it out, but Cui Xiaoyan saw it very clearly, Meng Hongtu made it clear that he was taking advantage of this split to get some money, and his man was not favored in front of the old couple, so it was very likely that their family would suffer a big loss in this separation.
Early the next morning, Cui Xiaoyan followed Meng Hongyuan back to the old house with the child in her arms, and when she arrived, Meng Hongtu's family had already arrived, and even Meng Hongling was present, and the family was really neat.
Seeing that the people were due, the old man said in a deep voice, "Since you brothers are no longer able to live together, then divide the family, and each has its own way, each according to his ability." ”
"When the boss was separated, there were four rooms and some furniture, so Hongyuan was divided into four rooms, and it was also four rooms, and as for the furniture, you can pick it at home."
As early as a few years ago, the old man set up two houses not far from the old house, both of which were four-room houses with yards, so they all knew that this was the house that the old man left for their two brothers to marry.
When the boss divided the family before, he chose the house on the east side first, because the house on the west side was close to the main road in the village, so it was a little noisy, and it was not as quiet as the house on the east side.
So Meng Hongyuan and Cui Xiaoyan knew from the beginning that they would be assigned to that house, and they were not surprised.
After the old man said this, he paused, and then spoke, "When the eldest broke up, your mother and I gave him two hundred yuan, so Hongyuan will also get two hundred yuan, and your mother and I are the same for both of you, and there is no favoritism." ”
Before the old man's words fell, Zhu Juan on the side retorted, "Dad, what you said is not right, the 3,000 yuan fined yesterday was paid by you and your mother for Hongyuan, so you can't forget it." ”
In fact, in the final analysis, Meng Hongtu has been thinking about money from beginning to end.
Hearing her say this, the old man frowned, he knew what the eldest son's family had when it came out yesterday, but three thousand yuan is almost all the money of their old couple, not to mention that they don't have three thousand yuan in their hands, even if they do, he won't give it to the eldest family at this moment.
"Boss, that's what you mean, too?"
Hearing his father's deep words, Meng Hongtu was silent for a few seconds before he spoke, "Dad, I don't care about the money, but three thousand is not a small amount after all, and this money is indeed spent because of Hongyuan and their family." ”
Hearing the eldest son say this, the old man glanced at Meng Rui, who was still in swaddling clothes, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "In the past two years, the family has opened an oil mill, and I have earned a total of more than 4,000 yuan, and I spent 3,000 yuan yesterday, and now I and your mother still have a total of 1,000 yuan in our hands." ”
"If you think that the 3,000 yuan is spent on the second family, your mother and I can't get you another 3,000 yuan, so let's do it, you have 500, Hongyuan 200, and your mother and I will spend the remaining 300 yuan."
The old man made the final decision, and Zhu Juan's face suddenly filled with joy, five hundred yuan, which is equivalent to a year's salary of their teacher here, if it is saved, it is enough for Meng Rui to go to kindergarten.
And she and Meng Hongtu also knew at the beginning that the old couple didn't have much money in their hands, as long as they could get some of the money, in their opinion, they would make money, and they could let Meng Hongyuan's family go out as soon as possible, which could be described as a big victory.
And the second family only got two hundred yuan, but they got five hundred, and the old man still felt sorry for them, so he agreed happily.
How could Meng Hongyuan not know that this time the family was divided, and the eldest brother's family took advantage of it, but he also noticed it, and finally the old man glanced at Meng Rui in swaddling clothes, so although he didn't feel good in his heart, he still opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
From childhood to adulthood, he was also used to ......
Looking at the only two hundred yuan in his hand, Meng Hongyuan silently handed it to Cui Xiaoyan on the side.
After walking along the road at the door of his old house for a while, he arrived at the house he divided, probably because there were no people living in it for several years, so the yard seemed a little messy.
Cui Xiaoyan took a look at the environment with the child in her arms, there was furniture that should be there, and there was a small piece of land left in the yard that could be used to grow some vegetables.
