The villagers hurriedly sent people forward to check, and although Yuan Xu's leg was fine, he couldn't walk in pain.

Yuan Laohan was directly pressed and fainted, and it was the villagers who sent someone to press him, and he was stunned and woke up.

As soon as the man opened his eyes, he pointed to the four in-laws, "You, you did it on purpose." ”

"We didn't mean to, and I don't know who pushed us, so I can't live with my in-laws."

Yuan Laohan knew that if he continued to be hard-mouthed, although the lives of the two of them would be fine, they would definitely break an arm or a leg or something.

These people came here just to divide the family for their daughter.

The onlookers knew in their hearts that it was just that Yuan Laohan's family was too unpopular, and no one looked at them.

When the village chief asked them again, "Is this a share?" ”

Yuan Laohan closed his eyes, and could only grit his teeth and squeeze out one word, "Points!" ”

The head of the Yuan family's big house said: "The silver given to you by the fifth child, you will support the elderly, we will not divide it, you will divide the silver we have handed over to the public middle school over the years, and the land will be divided." ”

"Why, this money is ours."

"The money is earned by our brothers, the children in the family are sick, and you don't take any of them, we eat poorly, you eat well, we haven't spent a penny in the public school, this money must be shared."

"The old lady just doesn't have a score, what can you do with me?"

It's really good that the scar forgot the pain, and the pain in the leg hasn't passed, and Yuan Xu can't see the form clearly.

I don't know who came again, and the people around immediately pounced on Yuan Xu's again, overpowering the two of them again.

This time, the two screamed miserably, holding their arms and screaming, Yuan Laohan and Yuan Xu obviously felt that someone had smashed them with something.

At this time, the two of them were completely frightened in their hearts, and they looked at their four sons, their eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Divide, divide, silver divided,"

I was busy and stopped shouting.

The village chief asked them to follow them to the kang chest in the house and take out the silver that had been stored for many years.

Except for the one hundred taels of silver given by the Yuan family, the two of them actually saved no less than six hundred taels of silver.

The title deed is fifty acres, and the village chief swallowed his saliva when he looked at these family backgrounds, and said in his heart, these two old things are really okay, and they have praised so many family backgrounds over the years.

"Fifty acres of land, divided into five parts, ten acres for a family, six hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels for a family of four sons, and the rest for the elderly, each family will give one hundred wen per month in the future, and when the New Year comes, make a dress for the old man, and then give three hundred wen for the festival, usually three meals a day, the four of you discuss taking turns to deliver food, and the old man must not be hungry"

"What we eat, what they eat, we don't abuse, but we don't eat all day long."

"This is natural."

"The village chief is fair, we have no opinion, so let's divide it like this."

"Okay, that's it."

The village chief made a decision, and the old couple of the Yuan family did not resist, seeing that the silver they had saved for so many years was divided, their hearts were bleeding.

Today, the four sons are determined to split up, that is, they sue the town mayor, and they report to the yamen to estimate that the sons will also split up, they can be regarded as seeing through, if the old couple does not have the ability to put their sons to death, then the death may be themselves.

Finally, it's not stupid enough to ask for money, this family is finally divided.

Once the family is separated, the two old men of the Yuan family will have no stamina to make trouble anymore, like a deflated ball.

They had five sons, and all five of them were separated from them, and they all hated them, and they were ruthless, and their sons were now learning more ruthlessly than they were.

With the family separation paperwork, the sons fixed their pension money every month, and cooked for them to eat, and they couldn't make any money if they wanted to.

Yuan Jiaqi didn't know, and even if he knew, he would only applaud.

Fortunately, the two old men are not very old, their bodies are also strong, they have more than 200 taels of silver in their hands, and ten acres of land, which can be rented out without planting themselves.

If you want to improve your life, you just need to spend your own money, and there will be nothing to do for the time being.

Tianshui Town has no such families to make trouble, and the people's lives are very peaceful.

Zhennan archway here, in the first month of the 26th ground, tooth row also put a few firecrackers.

They first fenced off all the 35 acres of homestead, and Qiao Mai also planned to rent out the remaining 65 acres.

She asked the mayor of the town to find three honest tenant farmers, and rented out sixty acres of wheat fields for a period of five years, and the row of five acres of land near the back wall of the house was left, and she planned to use it to plant greenhouses in winter and rare fruits and vegetables in summer, so these five acres were also enclosed in the house.

Two seasons of grain a year, she only needs 300 catties of grain per acre, which also includes 100 catties of grain tax per acre, and the rest they plant as much as they get, and those are their net income.

The rent is lower than the rent on the market, and the three tenant farmers are very happy, if one mu of land is one hundred and fifty catties more, then twenty mu is three thousand catties, and two seasons are six thousand catties, which is enough for a family to chew for a year.

If the waiting is good, you can also collect more, and the sixty acres of Qiao's family are close to the water source, saving the tenant farmers a big deal.

As soon as he had time, Qiao Mai took Ling'er to the homestead to see.

Almost every day, dozens of workers did not stop for a moment, and when Qiao Mai was in a good mood, he would go to the steamed bun shop and let them send steamed buns and soup to the workers to improve their meal.

The workers praised the good-hearted heart of the master, and Qiao Mai's reputation was better now.

Not only the people in Tianshui Town praised it, but even people from other places mentioned it, and it was also a thumbs up.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised his head, this day was Ling'er's birthday, Qiao Mai didn't say anything, the noodles she let her eat in the morning, made her a small cake to eat at noon, and in the evening, made her a few dishes that could be eaten.

One-year-old Ling'er can already eat.

The little birthday star sat at the kang table with a good appearance, and Qiao Mai was feeding her fish and meat on the side.

Ling'er clapped her little hands happily, and a sound suddenly popped out of her little mouth.

"Daddy!"

Qiao Mai heard a black line, "Call your mother rich first, first call your father poor and half a street, you girl, how can you call your father first." ”

"Hee-hee."

"Call mother, or I won't make you something to eat tomorrow morning."

"Hee-hee."

"Do you miss Daddy?"

"Aung Aang, brother?"

"They won't be back until the end of the month, and you can see them then, quick, call mother?"

Ling'er stared at her big eyes and blinked several times, "Cool~"

"Okay, it's cool, the sound is about the same, it's a shouting mother."

Qiao Mai never helps but force children, you can shout whatever you want, as long as you like it, just be happy.

The mother and daughter were fed, and she let the child walk back and forth on the floor in the house to digest what she had eaten.

Although it was spring, it was still very cold outside, and the charcoal basin in the house was never extinguished, warm and warm.

After coaxing the child to sleep, she checked the yard gate, the stable, and the quails, and then took the two puppies into the house.

The three sons were not at home, and they all slept in the same room with Qiao Mai.

But there was a little movement outside, and the little ones were very alert.

I have to say that the value of raising these two puppies, there are several groups of thieves in winter, stepping on the outside of the yard, hearing a dog barking in the yard, so they went elsewhere.

The surrounding neighbors followed suit, avoiding a lot of unnecessary losses.

On the night of Ling'er's birthday, the thief came again, and the two puppies were humming in front of the kang, which was particularly abnormal.

Qiao Mai opened his eyes and immediately moved Ling'er to the space, took out the silent pistol and put it in his arms, holding a stick in one hand and touching the gun with the other.

When the two puppies saw that their owners were up, they immediately shut up and hid in the dark.

They glanced at the doors of each room, presumably stepping on a point, and inquired clearly, there was only one woman and one child in the house.

Or maybe it's an acquaintance, but this time five thieves came in at once.

All of them covered their faces with black cloths, some with machetes in their hands, some with daggers, and tiptoed straight to the bedroom where Qiao Mai slept.
