022 Separation (2)

In fact, Old Man Chu had words of suffering in his heart.

He sold four acres of dry land today for 16 taels, and sold the grain in the field in advance for 18 taels, and sooner or later the people in the village will know about this, and no one will believe it if they say that there is no cash. But the silver has to be left to the boss, and he has to pay back thirty taels tomorrow, so there are only four taels left, plus eight taels of silver, Baofeng's dowry, and several daughters-in-law's private money, and miscellaneous can barely make up enough for twenty taels, but it has to be left for the eldest father and son to go to the county to catch up with the exam.

Chu Congrong had already heard that Village Chief Li and Old Man Chu had some dislikes, and Village Chief Li seemed to be more inclined to his side, so he was greatly relieved that this family was divided today.

Old Man Chu repeatedly emphasized that there was indeed no money at home, but he was squeaky and could not give a satisfactory statement to Village Chief Li. Village Chief Li knew that Chu Youxian had been injured in an accident, so he turned his eyes to the Ye family and asked her what she thought.

Ye has always been soft and unassertive, not as sharp as Du Pozi, how can he know what to say in the face of such a high-pressure situation, so he has to ask his daughter for help.

"Grandpa the village chief, my mother has never closed her eyes day and night in order to take care of my father, and she can't think of what to say for a while, can I say a few words for her?" Chu calmly knew Ye's thoughts, so he took the words.

Village Chief Li nodded and motioned for her to just speak boldly.

"Grandpa the village chief, eighteen dukes, my father is now lying in bed and I don't know whether he is alive or dead, and the doctor said that even if he is saved for three or five years, he will not be able to go down to do heavy work, and he will not be able to work and be wasted. The fourth uncle has inconvenient legs and feet, and my younger brothers and I are small, so my mother and third brother alone can't support our family. We don't want to be separated from each other in our hearts......"

Du Pozi was anxious, her eyes glared and she roared angrily: "I obviously said that I had split up just now, how can I deny it and regret it!" You can't disagree with what you decide! ”

Chu calmly and solemnly shouted: "Shut up!" The village chief's grandfather and grandfather are here, how can you have a share in your mouth as a concubine! ”

"You, you...... Old man, look how rampant this scumbag is! "Du Pozi was so angry that she couldn't breathe!

Old Man Chu was also furious, and expanded: "Dead girl, you are really lawless!" No matter what she says, she is also your elder, and you have repeatedly insulted your elders, is this what a granddaughter should say! If your father were here, I'd have to let him beat you to death!" ”

Chu Congrong snorted and said loudly: "My grandmother is your original partner, this is not fake!" My grandmother didn't continue the strings after she died, right? Du Shi was a flat wife when he entered the door, when did the lord raise her to be a wife? Since there is no her, she is a concubine! Daning law, flat wives are also concubines, and they can't be wrong! A concubine shouting in front of the village chief's grandfather and the eighteenth prince is really disrespectful! ”

When Du Pozi heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, and she wanted to step forward to pull Chu Congrong, but she was dragged by Master Chu and shouted in a low voice: "Do you still want to split up!" ”

Chu Pozi's eyes were black, and she turned her back in one breath. Chu Youzhi hurriedly pinched people, and finally woke up.

"Say what you want." Old Man Chu suppressed the anger in his heart, to be honest, he was also stunned by this granddaughter, and his sharp teeth and mouth were unforgiving.

"The uncle of the grandfather's family specializes in the imperial examination, and once he is promoted, he will be the lintel of the gate; The fifth uncle will make money every day in business; The second uncle has just run the farm work, and there is enough food and clothing! It happens to be completely consistent with the three cornerstones of my Daning, which shows how good you are at strategizing and being far-sighted and wise! We and the fourth uncle dragged everyone down, so that the master could not live a comfortable life, from the sake of filial piety and righteousness, if the lord wants to divide us, then divide it. In case someone is talking about the lord behind his back, this is our real rebellion, unfilial piety! I just beg my grandfather to read the love of my grandmother, and give us more money and food when we split up, so that we can live. ”

Asking for more money and food, this is Chu Congrong's purpose. If you don't fight yourself, you will save it for nothing, don't do it in vain.

The words were soft and hard, and Village Chief Li and Eighteen Gong nodded frequently. The eighteenth prince even opened his mouth and scolded: "Chu Lao Liu, you see what a good granddaughter this is, you are willing to push it out!" ”

Old Man Chu was stupid, it was not good to attack on the spot, and he was thinking about how much silver he could squeeze out after paying back thirty taels, and he hesitated for a long time, and promised to give them three taels of silver. The next few people discussed the house, grain, and fields one by one, and finally reached an agreement.

The three rooms were divided into an old house, three taels of silver, three chickens, five acres of paddy fields, two acres of dry land, four hundred and fifty pounds of coarse grain, and one hundred and fifty pounds of sweet potatoes. The pig will not participate in the distribution, which is Chu Congrong's initiative to give up. At the end of each year, the three rooms and four rooms should be given one or two dollars to the two old men.

Originally, Chu Youwen and others proposed one or two or six yuan, which was not much for eight hundred per person. Chu Congrong said that the old man Chu had no problem with eight hundred wen, and the Du family could only give four hundred, and the concubines were halved.

Du Pozi felt that she was stabbed in the heart again, and her heart was dripping blood wildly!

My mother's heart aches!

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, as long as you can get rid of these cheap breeds quickly, no matter how painful the old lady is, she can endure it!

Chu Youwen chose to back down at the signal of his mother. Finally, after everyone agreed, Du Pozi took out three small ingots of silver and threw them in front of everyone: "Let them move out today!" The old lady should panic when she sees them many times! If they refuse to leave tonight, I promise not to give a penny, and they will do whatever they like! ”

Everyone thought that Du Pozi was provoked by Chu Congrong, only Chu Youzhi knew what his mother was afraid of, and if someone came to collect the debt tomorrow, it would be impossible to figure it out. Since they're all separated, why don't you let them get out right away!

Everyone looked at Old Man Chu in embarrassment, Old Man Chu's face was relatively ugly, what is wrong with the dead old woman, she is so hard, how can she get off the stage.

Village Chief Li wanted to scold Mrs. Du, but was calmly pulled by Chu.

It turned out that Chu calmly asked Chu Youde about the situation of the old house, only to see her say to everyone: "We don't have to be embarrassed by the village chief and grandfather anymore." It's still early, so let's move. Third brother, you accompany the village chief's grandfather to get the deed book right, and let the fourth uncle divide the deed later. The fourth uncle was responsible for weighing the grain, and my mother and I cleaned up a house first, and my father couldn't bear the hardships. Xiao Liu, you go to take care of your father to drink chicken soup first, and Xiao Qi is responsible for packing up some light things. Let's move right away! ”

Mrs. Du's move is exactly what she wants, don't you want us to disappear immediately, this girl is still afraid of long nights and dreams.

Village Chief Li said with an appreciative tone: "I visited the house the day before yesterday, and I took a few special glances to clean it up and still live in it." However, there are some leaks on the roof, but it is unlikely to rain in this weather. Tonight you can do it yourself, and tomorrow I will call a few people over and help you clean up. ”

Chu calmly listened to the thank you, and couldn't wait to give this old man a big hug on the spot, what a good person!

The family went their separate ways, and the progress was much faster than expected.

The main thing is that the family doesn't have many things, and it happens that the old house is close to Niu Er's house, Niu Er saw that they were busy, so he led Niu Xiaohua to help, and added two new forces at once, and the speed was much faster.

When it gets dark, it's basically all done.

Everything was just moved over and stacked in a larger room, without having time to sort it out. Niu Xiaohua saw that it was dirty and messy, and wanted to invite Chu to spend the night at her home. Chu Congrong thought that at this critical juncture, he must accompany his family and share weal and woe with them, so he politely declined.

Ye used a few mud bricks in the courtyard, built a stove, cooked a pot of corn porridge, boiled a handful of vegetables, and planned to deal with it like this on the first night.

Chu calmly remembered that his father couldn't eat chicken, he only drank some soup and chicken blood, and a pot of chicken was fine, so he brought it over and let it be eaten. The Ye family is dead or alive, and plans to survive another round tomorrow.

Chu Congrong told her that it was more detrimental to the patient to eat the things that had been cooked repeatedly, and only fresh ones were good, and promised that he would let his father drink fresh chicken soup tomorrow. The Ye family was suspicious, but he couldn't bear to scold his daughter, so he had to follow her.

That night, Chu Congrong and the twins crowded into the same room, found two old wooden planks and spread them on the ground, which became a temporary bed. The twins are in the stage of young and ignorant, and they have no concept of separating the family, not only are they not sinking inappropriately but they are very excited, and they finally get rid of Du Pozi's beating and Shiro Goro's bullying, and they don't have to think about getting up early to work all day long, and they don't have to worry all day long.

Liulang took out a handful of broken silver and some copper coins and handed them to Chu Congrong, which she had let herself hide before. Chu calmly took it and counted it carefully, one or two or eight dollars, this is the total harvest of the three of them from their two trips to the town.

"Why does it stink so much?" Chu calmly felt that the broken silver had a smell.

"Hehe, I'm under the Tibetan pigsty, and no one can think of it when I press it with a stone slab!" Rokuro said triumphantly.

"Sister, you don't know, the third brother used to beat a few rabbits, hid more than a dozen coins in the soles of his shoes, and was turned out. Once, the little grandmother who hid on the edge of the latrine could find him, and beat him, because he was blamed for hiding in the wrong place, and the money stinked! Qilang said complacently, learning from Chu calmly changed his name to Du Pozi.

"The sixth child is so smart that he knows that the little grandmother never goes to the pigsty." Shichiro complimented.

Chu Cong couldn't help but laugh, this old witch is really powerful, and her nose is smarter than a police dog.

"There is even more exaggerated, my mother went to help in someone's house, and she originally said that she would pay 30 yuan. The work is not finished, and the little grandmother goes directly to the master's house to ask for it, arguing that the strange mother wants less, and insists that the other party pay 20 more yuan! Later, no one in the village dared to ask her mother to work. ”

"One more ......"

The two brothers shook off the black history of Du Pozi, and heard that Chu calmly felt sorry for the family, and the old witch was also the best home.

The three of them chatted until midnight, and the two brothers finally fell asleep, and Chu Congrong couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She was sweating tired from carrying things, and she wanted to find water to take a bath, only to find that she had forgotten to take the water tank into account and miscalculated! I finally got over the discomfort of not bathing, and found that there were a lot of mosquitoes in this house, which was really embarrassing. And the weather is hot, and the house smells of dust......

Your sister, I really miss the days when there was air conditioning!

In the next room, Ye couldn't fall asleep for a long time, looking at her man like a living dead, she felt so sad in her heart. The Lord's heart was hurt like this, and she felt like the sky was about to fall! There are only seven acres of land in total, so they will not be able to cultivate until autumn. With three taels of silver, the future livelihood of the whole family is here, not only to eat and drink autumn seeds, but also to buy seeds. My man costs dozens of dollars a day for chicken soup alone, and if she listens to the girl tossing like this, how long can she last for three taels of silver?

But the daughter is also for her own man to get better early, how can she bear to blame her as a mother? Just separated, firewood, rice, oil and salt are all lacking, how to face it tomorrow......
