Chapter 9: The Dust Settles

Mrs. Li, an old woman, hated to directly sweep Chen Xiuyun's mother and daughter out of the house.

If you want to talk about the grievances between Mrs. Li and Chen Xiuyun, it has been almost 20 years.

can't give birth to a male baby, giving birth to three money-losing goods is one thing; Jiang Jianmin has a daughter-in-law, forgets his mother, and maintains his small family in everything; Chen Xiuyun is hard-hearted, she has the job of a primary school teacher in the team, and her mother's family sends some things from time to time, and the benefits that Chen Xiuyun herself brings to the old Jiang family also make Mrs. Li dare not easily give Chen Xiuyun a hang-up.

After so many years of grievances, Jiang Jianmin is gone, will Mrs. Li explode? I can't just sweep Chen Xiuyun and the two money-losing goods out of the house, the house belongs to her old Jiang family, what does it have to do with these people with foreign surnames?

Chen Xiuyun heard Mrs. Li say that the family still owes the production team, and sneered in her heart and said: "This year is good, last year's accounts have long been paid off, the secretary and the captain are here, if you continue to talk nonsense, let the team accountant take the account book." ”

It is now January 1976, according to the solar calendar, it has not yet been the New Year, and the year Chen Xiuyun said is actually last year 1975.

The furrows on Mrs. Li's cheeks were a little deeper because of the tension.

Chen Xiuyun was too lazy to continue to argue with Mrs. Li, and simply said: "I know that your parents don't want to see our mother, if you want to kick us out quickly and not hinder your eyes, the house where the third brother lives will be given to our mother and mother, and the money will be divided into sixty yuan, and the pig baby will also be given to me, and the food will be divided with the people, it is the rations for four people, bowls and pots, just take our share." ”

In Mrs. Li's opinion, Chen Xiuyun is a lion's big mouth, sixty yuan, why didn't she grab it?

Sensei said that Mrs. Li was too much, and Wang Fengmei and Ma Meili were unwilling.

The house is easy to say, after all, there is Chen Xiuyun's suggestion just now, adding a fence wall is a separate yard, but for sixty yuan, the sister-in-law really dares to open her mouth.

"Sister-in-law, sixty yuan, why do you open your mouth?" Zhang Fengmei's face was not good-looking.

Chen Xiuyun said: "When my family Zhenzhen got married, my parents ruthlessly asked for one hundred and fifteen, and I also had money to hand over to the public middle school every month, how much did I ask for sixty yuan?" There are two big pigs in the family and a New Year's pig, how much is the remaining one worth, and I want to calculate it for you? ”

When Jiang Zhenzhen was married, Mrs. Li actually wanted 500 at the beginning, which was so outrageous that Chen Xiuyun doubted life. In the end, one hundred and five were set, and Jiang Zhenzhen's in-laws also looked very bad, and they would definitely say that the Jiang family sold their daughters in private. The money didn't fall into the hands of her and Jiang Jianmin, and now she wants this money to send it back to Jiang Zhenzhen.

Last year, the year was good, the harvest in the field was good, the Jiang family still owed the team the year before last, and there was a surplus after paying off last year, and the Jiang family knew that the team had sent nearly 100 yuan to the family.

Chen Xiuyun looked at Old Man Jiang, "Dad, if you want to say something, if you don't agree, I can only ask Director Wu to accompany me to the commune to find the director of the Women's Federation of the commune." As soon as my man died, you bullied my daughter, and you wanted to sell my daughter to the Yao family before, otherwise my man would not have died. It is said that women can hold up half the sky, and arranged marriages are dross..."

The more Mrs. Li listened, the more angry she became, and she raised her hand to fan Chen Xiuyun, but the big man Chen Gang pinched her arm, and the flesh on her face showed a bit of stalk at this time, "You dare to give it a try!" ”

Before Jiang Youfu and Jiang Guisheng were about to speak, Chen Gang let go of Mrs. Li's hand, and Mrs. Li stumbled.

Wu Xiulian opened her mouth and said: "Uncle Jiang, they are all a family, why make such a fuss, Jianmin doesn't want to see you make such a fuss." The grandchildren are all older, and the family should have been divided a long time ago, even if the family is divided, don't they live so close, what's the matter? ”

"Yes, Uncle Jiang, there will be some stumbling when there are too many people, although each family will have its own family in the future, they will all be surnamed Jiang, and they will be the same as each other, so there is no need to make such an ugly fuss about the separation of the family." It was Captain Lee who spoke.

The cadres of the three brigades accepted the smoked fish sent by Chen Gang, and naturally wanted to help Chen Xiuyun, they all knew that Mrs. Li was a fool and shameless, so they simply persuaded Old Man Jiang directly.

"This hen that doesn't lay eggs has left roots for Jianmin, and it is not my Jiang family's people who marry after they lose money, my Jiang family's things, how can I give them three foreign surnames in the future!" Mrs. Li thinks she is polite, her voice is sharp, and she is full of confidence.

Wu Xiulian sank her face, "Aunt Li, your ideological consciousness is not good, if you continue to mess around, go to the commune to study." Mrs. Qiu of Dahe Village forced her daughter-in-law to death, I think you are quite similar to her, and you should make progress in your thinking. ”

Mrs. Li wanted to continue yelling, but she was also afraid that Wu Xiulian would really take her to the commune.

Although I don't know what will happen if I am taken away, even if Wu Xiulian says that she is making progress ideologically, she has made a vigorous noise in the past few years, and it has not been completely stable yet.

Mrs. Li, who was afraid, had to hold back her breath and keep her mouth shut.

After Wu Xiulian taught the Empress Dowager Li a lesson, Jiang Laogen said: "The house of the third family is for the old family to live in, and the pig baby is for you, but the money can only be divided into fifty yuan for you." ”

Chen Xiuyun didn't talk anymore, and agreed to come down.

The break is too fine, and Mrs. Li wants to be a demon again. The small courtyard of the third family, without mending the mud wall, as long as there is another door, it will become a courtyard of its own, and there is one more room, and there is a pigsty in it, which also saves her from tossing.

Of course, Zhang Fengmei and Ma Meili disagreed, the two of them objected, and as soon as they said a few words, they were pulled by the old man Jiang and said, "You should be the one who is in charge of this family!" "Shut up.

"You take some grain, but in the next month, you will give me and my wife a total of eight catties of grain."

Chen Xiuyun also readily agreed to this condition.

As long as you can divide the family, giving some food is nothing! Although life may be difficult, it will become a family of its own in the future, and life will only be comfortable. When Chen Xiuyun just thought about this, she thought of Jiang Jianmin and wanted to cry again.

With Jiang Lao's words, Wu Xiulian frightened Mrs. Li again, and the next process of separating the family was very easy.

In the future, the old couple will nominally follow the second Jiang Youfu, and the third family will also give eight catties of grain every month, and each family will share fifty yuan.

Zhang Fengmei and Ma Meili both planned well, and tomorrow they will make a fence wall in the courtyard and separate the yard, so that each family will have its own family, and there will be no need to crowd together to grab food in the future, and then build a stove.

The two of them planned to be quite beautiful, and Old Man Jiang didn't want to divide the big courtyard in two. Although nominally he had been with the second family, he didn't plan to divide the yard, considering this, he generously gave the courtyard of the three-room house to Chen Xiuyun's mother and daughter to live in.

Then, Chen Xiuyun took out a piece of paper, wrote three copies about the ownership of the house, and the maintenance of the two old people, and asked the old man Jiang to sign it.

In triplicate, let the brigade secretary keep one.

After the skin was finished and the dust settled, Jiang Xinyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
