Chapter 103: Separation (4)
The Chu family's property is actually not much, counting the three acres of land allocated to Uncle Chu's family that year, there are only six acres of arable land in total, plus two houses, a few coffins that have been made in the backyard, plus a lot of wood, and in the hands of Grandma Chu, it is said that there are only more than two taels of silver left.
Grandpa Chu originally thought that it would be enough to give Chu a little less, and the others were still his own, but he didn't expect that Third Uncle Chu also expressed his determination to split the family.
"Daddy and Mom will directly separate me from Xiuxiu, and we will be single in the future!"
Grandma Chu didn't think about it, so she yelled at Uncle Chu: "Third child, what are you making a fuss about, what kind of axis are you committing!" Divide what family, you divide family! What do you know about yourself? Just what happened to you with a little girl! ”
"Auntie, you don't have to stop me, I can live with Xiuxiu, your son and I just don't have a leg, and it's not that I can't get up on the bed, let's divide it together today, save trouble!"
Grandpa Chu really couldn't understand how these juniors in the family were one or two, as if they had taken the wrong medicine today, they all sang against themselves vigorously, and the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and dragged back the old wife who was still persuading Uncle Chu, and said angrily: "Points!" Who doesn't divide today, who doesn't have the surname Chu! ”
"Old man!"
"Shut up!"
Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi were originally looking forward to it, if they split up, Third Uncle Chu would also be able to separate, and it would be good to be with them then, but now that Third Uncle has opened his mouth, then they have no worries.
Shen Luzhu quietly pulled Chu Yi's sleeve, Chu Yi instantly understood, and asked Third Uncle Chu sideways: "If Third Uncle doesn't mind, just be with me and Ah Zhu, when I talked to Ah Zhu about wanting to split up last night, Ah Zhu also said that I was reluctant to let the third uncle and Xiuxiu go!" ”
"Yes, third uncle, in the future, we will be with Ah Li at home, there is not even an elder who can take charge of things, not to mention that there is a workshop, and I will still count on the third uncle in the future, the third uncle will do a good deed every day, just help me and Ayi!" Shen Luzhu also persuaded him.
When Chu Xiuxiu heard that she could continue to live with her cousin and sister-in-law, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised her little face to look at her father expectantly. Then the third uncle will cause you trouble! ”
"Third uncle, what are you talking about!"
The atmosphere here suddenly became happy, but Grandpa Chu on the opposite side was so angry, it was just the opposite, he was not dead yet!
Facing Grandpa Chu with an angry face, others would have some scruples, but Mrs. Yu didn't seem to see it: "Cheng, since my cousin is so true to his words, then let's stop grinding, hurry up and make a charter, it's not too early!" ”
Grandpa Chu, who was already very angry, was even more out of breath and less breath when he heard this at the moment, and he was panting heavily!
The old lady didn't care about that, and urged her old man: "His father, you are a cousin, you don't mean that you want to help your cousin make the decision today, hurry up, I didn't see my cousin waiting in a hurry!" ”
Grandpa Tang glanced at his own wife who was deliberately angry with the other party, he was really afraid that she would say a few more words, and he really made Grandpa Chu angry, so he hurriedly cleared his throat and took over the conversation.
"In that case, it means that the third child and Ayi are separated together, and the cousin, you two are naturally following the big house, right?"
Grandpa Chu nodded: "We have been with Dafang!" ”
"In this way, the silver cousin in the family said that there are more than two taels of silver, and the old couple is not easy to live, the third and Ayi, you are the juniors, even if you want to divide the family, you have to be considerate of the elders, I look at the silver, just leave it to the old couple to do their own money, and the separation will not be counted in it, do you have any opinions?"
Seeing that Uncle Chu and Chu Yi both expressed no opinion, Grandpa Tang continued to say: "Cheng, it's much simpler, the rest is mainly the two houses at home, and the six acres of cultivated land, let's directly divide it into two, one side of three acres of cultivated land and a yard, as for who wants there, I think it is still possible for your father and mother to come, let them choose first, and the rest is the third and Ayi!" ”
Grandpa's distribution is very reasonable, not only evenly and fairly, but also taking into account filial piety and the face of Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu, but some people always feel that if they don't take advantage, they are losing!
Wang screamed in a sharp voice: "How can that happen! This is not possible! Daddy and Auntie's two taels of silver will not be divided, but isn't there still a shop! That shop is worth a lot of money, so black and white? ”
Third Uncle Chu has completely seen the cheekiness of his sister-in-law today, and he really doesn't care about anything for the sake of silver: "That's Ayi's own shop, what does it have to do with the family!" ”
Wang's idea is actually very simple, it is nothing more than seeing the current division of the family, there is no room for maneuver, so he thought that he could take advantage of it now, and the original good wishful thinking was beaten by them, and she couldn't eat this loss in vain!
"Isn't their shop in front of our Chu family? In the name of not our Chu family's coffin shop? There is also that Chu Yi, who only does half a day's work at home every day, and how many coffin sales at home have been delayed! Why doesn't that count? ”
Shen Luzhu was really shocked by Wang's dead-faced spirit, he really only recognized silver, he didn't remember to eat or fight, he had just been lifted by them in front of so many people, and he hadn't made a stick of incense yet, so soon he was resurrected with full blood, and he began to think about how to change to another way to take advantage of them?
"Done! Chu Yi rested for half a day, I gave my grandfather and grandmother three taels of silver every month as compensation, as long as my grandmother returned the silver to us without a penny, I will compensate the family, which will be counted as part of the property of this separation! ”
Not counting the filial piety money given by Shen Luzhu during the New Year's holidays, and the various expenses for buying things for Grandma Chu for the holidays at home, just compensating Grandpa and Grandma every month, for such a long time, three taels per month, there must be a full fifty or sixty taels, but even if the little couple gives more, it can't stand Uncle Chu's family, and the two ends will come back to search for it in three days!
Others may not know about this matter, but the Wang family is probably the person who knows the Chu family's assets the most except for Grandma Chu, although it is impossible for Grandma Chu to say that there are only two taels of silver left in her hand, but if you want to return all the compensation given by Shen Luzhu, it is absolutely impossible.
What's more, even if it is enough to pay it back, it is absolutely impossible for the Wang family and Grandma Chu to spit out the silver that has already arrived: "That's what you honored to the elders in the family!" Shen, you still have to be shameless, you are embarrassed to ask for the money of your elders! ”
Old lady Yu stretched out her hand to stop Shen Luzhu, who was about to return the favor, and the old god looked at Wang on the ground and said: "Cheng, since you want to calculate it, then simply calculate it clearly, Ayi and their little two can be used as filial piety money, and they can also take out some silver as compensation." ”
Old Mrs. Yu suddenly spoke so well, and Wang was still in a trance: "Really? This...... That's what you said, you can't afford it! ”
Old lady Yu glanced at Wang: "You are you?" ”
After speaking, he didn't give the Wang family a chance to react, and continued to take care of himself: "Since the Wang family also thinks it is reasonable, then let's talk about it in detail, in addition to the compensation of Ayi Xiao's family, in addition, Wang's family should still have two acres of land, and after the separation, after the separation, the old mansion funded your family's Chu Ren's expenses for studying and taking the imperial examination, you can also get them back, these are all counted together, and then divide them evenly on both sides, this is fair!" ”
When Wang heard this, he refused to agree to anything: "The two acres of land were purchased by ourselves after the division of the family, why should we take them back and divide them together?" There is also that silver, Chu Ren is the eldest grandson of your old Chu family, he will come out in the future, and it is not your old Chu family that will be cheaper, the silver that grandpa and grandma gave to their grandson, why do you still want it back? ”
"Your two acres of land were purchased by yourself after the family was divided, but Ayi's shop is not? You can even rely on the compensation money given by others, and you can rely on it as filial piety money, and you are all separated, why is the Chu family still providing for your children to study and take the imperial examination! I don't care, anyway, I will either pay it back today, or I won't pay it back, the village chief and the patriarch are here, old lady, am I right? ”
Village Chief Wu and Patriarch Chu have long looked at the Wang family unpleasantly, and now that it is getting late, they are looking forward to returning home early.
"It's reasonable, it's reasonable, old lady, what you said is very reasonable!"
"Since it's reasonable, then do it! Wang, take the money! ”
Not to mention that the Wang family doesn't have so much silver in his hand at all, even if he really has it, it is impossible to take it out, the Wang family is afraid that the old lady will continue to do it, and when he turns around, Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu did not take advantage of it, but he put in the silver and distributed it to them!
"That'...... Then forget about this, we don't have the same general knowledge as your juniors, but these two mansions must not be divided like this! This yard is the old house of our Chu family, and Daddy and Auntie have to keep it, how can it be allocated to two bedrooms and three bedrooms that want to go out alone? ”
Grandpa Tang didn't care about this: "Didn't I say it, let you pick first, you choose the rest of the place, which is the third child and Ayi." ”
"But where we live now, it's our Chu family's old coffin shop, how can that shop be separated! That's a few generations of our old Chu family, who have saved little by little by making coffins, and they will be passed on forever, how can they say that they will be divided! ”
Old Lady Yu was embarrassed by Wang's shameless laughter: "What you mean, the two mansions are yours, don't think about anything for the third and Ayi!" ”
"I didn't say that...... Isn't what I'm talking about the truth, I don't believe you ask Daddy and Auntie! ”
