Chapter 16 The human heart is unpredictable
In the darkroom next to the landlord, Song took the almost finished shoes, prepared to put on the shoe bar, looked at the wife who was smoking dry cigarettes on the side and sighed: "Hey, the fourth daughter-in-law looked good before, but now I don't know how to become like this, we are all from a big family, and we are quite accurate in looking at people, it looked good before, but now this person's heart has changed." ”
Bai Yemao nodded, put down the dry smoke in his mouth, "It's hard to guess, these children have already got married, we should have let them out ruthlessly, this is a lot of right and wrong to live together." ”
Song shook his head and said helplessly: "I can't divide it, how can I divide it without money, it's not like living together when I divide it, there is only one kitchen, and I can't cook separately in each room." ”
Suddenly, Song's eyes lit up, and he suggested: "Old man, I sold three pigs yesterday, and I have eight taels of silver here plus the ones I saved before, or I will divide one out first." Next year we will raise two more pigs, and at the end of the year we will divide one more. ”
Bai Yemao sneered when he heard this, "You ask them who is willing, but they are all staring at this house, and they can only build an adobe house if they go out for three or four taels of silver." None of them want to suffer this loss, your son you don't understand, even if your son doesn't care, your daughter-in-law can still care.
Besides, if you take out all the money, next year our family will go to drink the northwest wind, you never thought that this silver will be the life of our family next year. You also expect the grain to be sold for a few bucks, and it's good to have enough to eat. ”
Song was stunned when she heard this, and then fell silent, she wanted to go wrong, but it was not a way to go on like this for a long time, she didn't have the idea of an old man not separating the family, she could see it when she was in the main house, and it was destined to be a lot of rights and wrongs when a large family lived together.
"Tomorrow I will still ask them, if anyone wants to stay in this house, then in the future, his family will give us two pensions, and the others will do their filial piety and do not need to provide for us.
If anyone is willing to give it away, in addition to the land they deserve, I will give them another four taels of silver, and we can get by with the rest, besides, they themselves have more or less some private money, as long as they are diligent, they will not starve to death. ”
Bai Yemao took a puff of dry tobacco, thought about it and nodded, "Whatever you want, it's better to be able to divide it, it's all crowded together, and you push me and I push you to work, if you don't work if you divide it, you won't have to eat, and you won't be able to rely on us at that time." ”
"Ah, these children are all debts." Song sighed.
After the room was quiet, Song began to put on the upper of his shoes, and Bai Yemao still kept his cigarette in his hand.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Yuanan and Bai Yuanyi came back, both of them had red noses from the cold, and their clothes were covered with a thick layer of snow.
The two entered the courtyard, first went to the kitchen to take off their clothes, and then Bai Yuanan said: "Fourth brother, I have worked hard for you today, go back and change your clothes, don't freeze." ”
Bai Yuanyi nodded and covered his hands and sighed, "Well, you are too, second brother." ”
Bai Yuanan replied while sorting out his clothes: "Well, I'll go to the main house with you first to talk to my mother and father." ”
Bai Yuanyi shook his head, "I'll go and say, by the way, you can go back quickly." ”
Bai Yuanan was stunned for a moment, nodded, and after the two separated, Bai Yuanan returned to the West Chamber, first went to the small room to change his clothes, and then went to the charcoal stove to warm up before going to see the two mothers and daughters.
Bai Xiaowei has woken up two or three times in the morning, and she will fall asleep again, and the Jiang family is about the same, and she will continue to make up for sleep after feeding the child.
