Chapter 32: Separation
Mrs. Jiang is the second in line, and she is also the kind of little transparent that her father doesn't love and doesn't love, and when her parents split up, she only gave the wasteland at the feet of the Jiang family now, and two acres of paddy fields.
However, after the old lady fell ill and died, the clan forcibly took back two acres of paddy fields on the grounds that Jiang's mother would remarry, and if it wasn't for the wasteland that had been used by their family to make a house, it was estimated that it would have been robbed.
But if Old Man Jiang has one or two brothers, who would dare to rob their family's land? This is the loss suffered by the thinness of the people.
Because the old man Jiang didn't get the clan field, he went to learn carpentry from others, starting as an apprentice and staying up for more than ten years to learn a little way.
It was that little bit of doorway and the things he figured out that contributed to the half-baked carpentry of Old Man Jiang.
But in the countryside, the requirements of the peasant family are not high, and the main thing is that the price is cheap, so the craftsmanship of this half bucket of water is enough.
Over the years, the old man Jiang has traveled around ten miles and eight towns with his half-hanging carpentry skills, and the money he earned has been to support a family, marry a daughter-in-law, send his mother to retirement, give birth to children, marry a daughter-in-law to his son, go to school for his grandson, and add twelve acres of land and ten acres of land to his family.
For such an awesome achievement, who doesn't praise him for his ability and ability, but who would have thought that his wisdom in his life would be defeated in the hands of his children and grandchildren.
Old man Jiang cried, crying very sadly, and then pointed at Mrs. Jiang again, "He's ah, all my life, I have never beaten or scolded you, and when I was young, I helped you with laundry and cooking, let me ask whose husband can do this?"
But I spent twenty taels of silver to cure the disease, is it a minor illness? You don't care at all, don't you care? The doctor said that if I die, I won't have a few days to live, so I am not worth twenty taels in your eyes?
Look at what you've done? Knowing that Sanfang did something wrong, you still helped, are you helping them? You are pushing them farther and farther down the road to desperation, blindly indebting the second child and ignoring the boss.
How many times have I told you, you are not convinced, now look at it, causing today's situation, this family is also going to be scattered...
That's it, since you don't look down on each other, then don't be brothers, just split up today, and each will have nothing to do with each other in the future. Old man Jiang wiped a handful of tears, ruthlessly, and said seriously.
"Old man?!"
"Daddy?!"
Mrs. Jiang and the people in the third room of the big house were shocked, they didn't expect Old Man Jiang to make such a decision.
As the saying goes, parents are not separated, otherwise they are unfilial, and they will be looked down upon and bullied by others, especially those like them who have scholars.
Mrs. Jiang is panicked, of course she can't manage the family in this separation, who cares about the two of them if she doesn't have power? Isn't this tantamount to being abandoned by children?
Boss Jiang was very surprised, but he didn't expect his father to want to divide the family now, which is of course the most beneficial for their big house, because they can not only get most of the land, but also no longer have to raise the two burdens of the second and third rooms.
It would be best if the parents lived with them, because the old father also had some income from daily carpentry, and the mother could also do housework.
If it is better to live in a big house with them, how many years can people work when they are old? In the future, it will be easier not to wait for the elderly.
Boss Jiang directly ignored the debts of Old Man Jiang and the second room, and he was not close to his brother, even if he didn't have these two younger brothers, he still had clansmen, and the clansmen usually treated him much better than his own brothers.
Jiang Laosan hurriedly raised his head and split up? He never thought about it, because he didn't have the ability to fight a family at all.
He can't even take care of the farm alone, who will work when the family is separated? Who raises the family?
"Dad, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, don't you leave me, okay?" Even if the debt is everyone's together, there is no loss in their three rooms, but the nature of the separation is different.
Of course Jiang Laosan refused, he knelt down directly at the old couple, and patted his face.
Old man Jiang waved his hand and didn't let Jiang Laosan continue, "When you went to mess with flowers, did you think that you would cause trouble?" Bringing ruin to the family?
When others knocked on the door, you didn't stand up and admit your mistakes, so that my second child and I were beaten to almost death, and I don't know what chain troubles will appear later.
has made a feud to this point, you haven't even apologized to the second child so far, you are a fool for others? Why do you think others will tolerate you?
I worked hard to send the three of you to study, but if you didn't read the book, you didn't even have the basic principles and principles of life.
Selfish, disobedient to the discipline of my illiterate father, fooling my old mother.
Since you are all so powerful, then go over by yourself, anyway, you are all adults and have a family, and it depends on you whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, anyway, I am also old and cannot take care of you for a lifetime.
It was decided, and there is no need to say more.
Okay, Jiawen, go and ask Li Zheng to lie down and write a document for our family. Old man Jiang closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Old man Jiang can go from nothing to a small family, and he has no personal skills, but he is decisive and transparent, which is not another kind of intelligence.
The Jiang family was wooden, and after being named by his grandfather, he immediately stood up, saluted the old man Jiang politely, and then went out quietly.
The eldest grandson of the Jiang family doesn't seem to have any problems, but his temperament is too wooden, obviously not like this when he was a child, probably because his father often beat his mother.
And this kid has no comprehension in reading, the difficulties of the big house are still behind, only Boss Jiang is short-sighted and can't see the facts.
And the people in the second room haven't said a word since they entered the door, and they can't wait to leave these superb relatives, right? Especially Xiao Chang'an, now he is more and more capable, but it is difficult to support it alone.
Only Jiang Laosan is the only one in the third room who is unwilling to split up, and the three children don't understand anything, but the Jiang family, who usually chatters, is too quiet, probably because he feels that he has his mother's backing.
But she didn't want to think about it, after all, she was a married woman, and she wanted to press her in-laws every day to improve her sense of superiority, but her mother-in-law's family couldn't get up, and she was looked down upon by others when she returned to her parents' house.
is also a confused and rebellious, his mind is still a little crooked, it is simply a match of Jiang Laosan with a pot and a lid.
Li Zheng was soon invited by Jiang Jiawen, and when he heard that the Jiang family was going to split up, he also brought pen, ink, paper, inkstone and Li Zheng's seal by the way.
"Brother, how did you get to this point?" Li Zheng's surname is Hong, he is forty years old, and he is Li Zheng of three villages in the mountains, on the mountain, and under the mountain.
He happened to be not at home when something happened to the Jiang family yesterday, and fortunately he was not at home, otherwise he would be really difficult to deal with, those people are fast catchers in the yamen, he is not easy to speak, and he will offend people, and it will be difficult to go to the yamen to do things in the future.
The Jiang family has been stable for many years, if it weren't for such a thing, no one would know that the relationship between the three brothers of the Jiang family would be like this.
It's understandable to split up, it's just that Old Man Jiang is actually still young, and he will have to be gossiped about in the future.
"Alas, it's all fate, let's divide it if we don't get together, trouble Hong Li is witnessing the establishment of a document." It is useless to talk too much in front of outsiders, it will only make others look down on him, Old Man Jiang sighed helplessly.
"Okay, how do you want to divide it? You say, I write. "All the property of the Jiang family was earned by Old Man Jiang himself, so it has nothing to do with the Jiang family.
In addition, the relationship with the clan is not good, and the old man Jiang did not invite a person from the Jiang family to come over to witness, and he is not as good as an old man, so it can be seen that he does not take the Jiang family in his eyes.
"I'm useless, old man, the Jiang family is very poor, and there is nothing to share.
Twelve acres of land, five acres for the old family, three and a half acres for the second and third families, but the third owes the second half of his life, and he uses one and a half acres of land to compensate; Ten acres of land, four acres for the eldest and three acres for the second and third.
The others are gone, and now each family lives in their own houses and land, and when the yard is divided, a monument will be erected.
There are five chickens in each house, and the pigs and vegetable plots in the kitchen, thatched house and backyard belong to our old couple, and your brothers will divide them equally after we are a hundred years later.
Other agricultural tools and furniture, you can divide them, and if you can't share them, you will give them to the old family, and the grain will be divided equally.
In the end, we two live by ourselves, but the three of you brothers should give 30 catties of grain and 50 wen pension money on time every month, and give appropriate gifts every New Year's Day.
That's it, old woman, do you have anything to add? ”
Mrs. Jiang's eyes were red, and she shook her head numbly, where did she dare to have an opinion, it would be good for the old man to take her with her, and her son could not be relied on, even if it was her favorite third child.
