Chapter 179: Essence
Li Guangmao gossiped with Li Changgen's grandfather, and his spirit was obviously much better.
The old man had a straight temper and admitted to death, and because of Li Qiusui's incident, he felt guilty about his third son and three daughters-in-law's family, and he couldn't sleep. The third son and his wife complained in their hearts and separated early. He is the head of the family, and he has many children and grandchildren, so he always values this and that. It is proposed to divide the rest of the sons, but he is also afraid that the family of the three sons alone will be separated, which will affect the career of Chang'an's study and examination in the future.
This is not to say that he thinks he has done something wrong and wants to make up for it, nor is it to complain that Li Guangping is looking for people to force his family to sell his granddaughter, it is purely within his ability, hoping that future generations will live well.
This time, Li Sizhu's gambling almost affected the expulsion of the family, and while hating the youngest son in his heart, he was also depressed about the unkindness of the patriarch and the clansmen.
With Grandpa Li Changgen's two sentences to explain the gossip, Li Guangmao somewhat relieved his depression and being coldly disliked by his clansmen.
The old man is like this, and the family can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Several other families took the initiative to divide the sect, either because they got along better with Li Sanzhu's brothers, or because they felt sorry for their children. Patriarch Li Guangping has been interfering in the family affairs of the girls and boys in the clan in recent years, although it is not as Li Qiusui said, the girl married a fool young master from a rich family, but there is a suspicion of taking advantage of the excellent girls and boys in the clan to climb high branches and pull relationships. The saying is the same, what is for the good of his own family, you look at the days of Li Guangmao's family, his little granddaughter is still the thread he pulls......
And so on, which Li clan or even the people with the surname in the village didn't listen to Li Guangping's family.
In the past two years, his family has produced Li Changqing, a talented man, and most of the time the clansmen have chosen to swallow their anger.
This time, Li Guangmao's family took the lead, Li Changgen's grandfather, Li Guangcheng's family, followed closely behind, and his family Li Changgen was also a talented man, and many people's minds were lively.
The family surnamed Li is the largest surname in Lijia Village, divided into two, and no one dares to bully them, maybe this side is worse than that side.
Li Guangmao began to have a grudge against this part of the clan, thinking that they were too cold and swaying.
Old man Li Guangcheng persuaded, "People are like this, who doesn't plan for themselves?" As long as we don't really have bad intentions and hurt people, why do we worry about others? Besides, the clan rules are there, and we will take the initiative to divide them here, and the good rules will be left, and those that need to be added will be added when the time comes. ”
Li Guangmao couldn't help but look at Li Guangcheng again, "Brother, why don't you see it on weekdays, you have a lot of ideas in your heart, and you have more rules and regulations than me in talking and doing things." I know that I am angry, and I don't know when I can figure it out without you talking. ”
Li Guangcheng snorted, knocked off the cigarette ash and unhurriedly replaced a bucket of tobacco leaves, and then lit the new tobacco leaves in the bucket with the residual sparks on the cigarette ash.
took a puff, and when he spit out a puff of smoke, Li Guangmao glanced at him and said, "...... Don't think I don't know, you all call me a stuffy camel behind your back, I stuff my hunchback doesn't mean I'm stupid, my eldest grandson can read, it's not for me to fight! ”
"Haha! Yes, my brother is shrewd, your family has long roots for you to fight, my family is not bad, the master has praised him for his talent in reading, and my family can't say that he can also show off his talent. ”
Compared with their own grandson, the more the two old men talked, the more speculative they became.
……
The matter of dividing the sect is really fast, and Li Guangmao's stubborn temper comes up and he can't wait to get things done in one day.
Li Guangping, the patriarch, hated the betrayal of Li Guangcheng's family, thinking that the family had betrayed the family and betrayed him. There are also a few other families who ask to be separated, and there is nothing incapable at home, and they are even careful! Divide it out, divide it out, and the days will be long, everyone will see!
People on both sides had the intention of dividing the sect quickly, and they did not choose a good day and an auspicious day, so they began to divide the sect in the afternoon of the same day.
On the side of the old house, Li Dazhu and Li Erzhu's family have successively moved to the newly built blue brick house.
Li Sizhu's family had no money to build a blue brick house, and the day after the casino people came to the house to smash it, Li Guangmao drove his youngest son's family to Li Qiusui's house to work to pay off the debt.
When Wang Mao returned more than 500 taels of silver, Li Sanzhu took the time to tell the old man and the old lady, and the two old men didn't tell Li Sizhu what they meant, so that they could continue to stay in their house and work. Li Sanzhu also gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, feeling that the fourth child owed a lesson. People stay at home to work, there is no shortage of food and drink, and when the time comes, the start of work will be paid, and people are busy for the past two days, and no one cares about him.
"Chang'an, are you going to go to the county seat? It's getting dark, and it's dangerous to walk at night, so I'll ...... tomorrow morning Let your dad give you a ride. Li Sizhu saw that Li Changan was going out with a book basket on his back, and he wanted to say that he would send it and immediately changed his words.
Li Changan nodded, "Yes, go to the county seat, and Steward Zhou has set up the carriage." The master only let us rest for one day, and we had to study at the fifth watch tomorrow morning, and before that the road was equally dark before dawn, and the family had to be noisy and not stop. ”
Li Sizhu came over and patted Li Changan on the shoulder, "It's almost as tall as the fourth uncle, this time the fourth uncle almost affected you, don't take it to heart, I won't do bastard things again." ”
In the past, in the village, he was busy with farm work all day long, and he was just slippery and lazy, at most he did less than a few brothers. Take the time to run to the town or county town to hang out and join in the fun, the pocket is cleaner than the face, and I don't dare to go to the place where I spend money.
Li Changan smiled and compared the gap between his uncle and nephew, "Next year, at the end of next year, at most, I should have a fourth uncle." I will start the county exam in February next year, and the next step is the government exam, and I am also a showman in the exam, and our family's life will only get better day by day. The fourth uncle learned to plant fruit trees at my house, and the fruit trees did not grow in the first few years of drought, and then caught up with the year when the wind and rain were smooth, and it didn't take two years to get up. ”
Li Sizhu nodded, "Our Chang'an is only twelve or thirteen years old, if we can be admitted to Master Xiucai next year, we can give your master and us a long face." In the future, I will leave your house as a long-term worker, and your father will not have to pay for the salary......"
Hehe laughed twice, and Li Sizhu said without any shame: "I can't keep money in my pocket, and your fourth aunt is not a master who can take care of things." In the future, your two little brothers in my family will marry a daughter-in-law, and your father will look at it, so that you can live a successful life. ”
Li Qiusui came over to see Li Chang'an, and just listened to Li Sizhu's words before and after, and couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, "Fourth brother, I'll send you with Zhou Ping, Fourth Uncle is not free, why don't you come with us too?" ”
