The patriarch of the Gu clan was about sixty years old, very short, and his eyes were shrewd.

Entering the courtyard of the Gu family, he first glanced around the crowd, took out a somewhat yellowed piece of paper from his arms, and looked at Mrs. Gu.

"Matsugen's family, don't be unconvinced, this was written down and handed over to me by Dalang when he was dying. It is clearly written, if Gu Shi leaves the Gu family, all the family business he bought will be handed over to the clan to take care of, I am in Songgen's face, so I didn't take back the courtyard where you live, if you make trouble again, ......

Wang suddenly spoke: "According to what the patriarch said, Xiao ...... If Gu Shi returns to Gu's house, should you return the title deed to us? ”

Patriarch Gu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Gu Shi without a trace, and nodded: "It stands to reason that this is the case." ”

Mrs. Gu also reacted, glanced at Gu Shi resentfully, and pulled out a stiff smile at Feng's family: "At that time, your family spent five taels of silver to buy my grandson, and today I will give you six taels of ......."

"I don't agree." Lin Baobao didn't finish her words, and directly refused: "Ah Shi is a person, not a commodity that can be bought and sold by you." ”

Feng Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, if you say you sell, you will sell, and if you say you buy, why don't you put two wings in your asshole and go to the sky?" ”

Six taels? Who do you look down upon?

Lin Dalang also nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Gu: ......

Gu Shi looked at the people of the Lin family who surrounded him in the middle, and his throat was a little dry.

He thought he was ......

……

Two quarters of an hour later, the Feng family came out of the Gu family with the Lin family in a majestic and high-spirited manner.

He was still scolding unceremoniously: "Thirty taels? Joke, is our Lin family the kind of person who is shallow-eyed? It's only some little women ......"

Yes, Mrs. Gu raised Gu Shi's worth to thirty taels.

An acre of paddy field can be sold for twelve to fifteen taels of silver, and thirty acres is three or four hundred taels of silver, no matter how she calculates, she will not lose.

Zhou echoed on the side: "That is, my brother-in-law has entered our Lin family, it is our Lin family, let alone thirty taels, three hundred taels can't be sold." ”

Everyone in Xiaohe Village: The Lin family doesn't seem to be as bad as they think.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked all the way and scolded all the way, until they left Xiaohe Village, the two of them suddenly fell silent, and at the same time reached out to cover their chests with an uncomfortable expression.

"Mother, milk, what's wrong with you?" Da Mao was very worried.

Zhou scrooked and leaned into Lin Erlang's arms: "Thirty taels!" ”

Feng: "Distressed~"

If they hadn't gone fast, the old woman would have to add it!

She was afraid that she would not be able to resist agreeing.

All:......

Lin Baobao was amused, and glanced at the two familiar figures in front of him: "Mother, do you see if that is the eldest aunt and sister-in-law?" ”

Feng Shi looked at it, who are the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liao family if they are not Liao's and Xiao Liao's mother-in-law?

The old lady immediately came to the end, and chased after her in three or two steps: "Oh, sister-in-law, are you going back?" Why didn't Chunya leave you to eat at home? ”

Liao didn't expect to meet this family here, so he pulled out a smile: "Stay, I said I would go home and cook for the old man and them." ”

"Isn't Shouxing's daughter-in-law at home?"

Liao didn't want to talk about this, so he asked, "Why did you come to Xiaohe Village?" ”

When asked about this, Feng Shi had something to say, and immediately brought up Mrs. Gu and scolded her, and emphasized how she was not moved by money......

Lin Baobao and Gu Shi were at the end, and when they saw that the other party didn't mean to explain at all, they suddenly became a little angry: "Do you want to look back at home?" ”

Gu Shi didn't think about it and said, "I don't want to." ”

"Then you don't say anything to me!" Lin Baobao reacted after speaking.

Gu Shi didn't say anything, maybe he was worried that they would return him to the Gu family for money.

But where can this kind of thing be hidden?

Lin Baobao felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably: "Don't forget, you gave me five taels of silver to redeem yourself, so you are now a free body, and no one can decide whether you go or stay." ”

"Also, what must you tell me next time, if we don't come, you won't be beaten to death by them?" She could see that the ropes were ready.

Gu Shi pursed his lips: "The patriarch will come." ”

Seeing that he said so categorically, something flashed in Lin Baobao's mind: "You guys are colluding?" The letter? ”

"Ahem, I faked it."

Lin Baobao: ......

No wonder she felt disobedient, that letter seemed to be Uncle Gu's hand specially left by knowing the temperament of his stepmother.

But in order to protect Gu Shi, he directly made the letter public, wouldn't it be better for her to cast a rat bogey?

It would make sense if the letter didn't exist before.

As for why the premise of leaving the Gu family was added to the letter, instead of directly giving the land to the clan.

Naturally, it was for rationalization, and it made no sense to let Mrs. Gu occupy the thirty acres of land for more than two years before jumping out to talk about it.

As for the second, it is unreasonable to give the family property to outsiders instead of leaving it to his son.

Thinking about this, Lin Baobao felt that he was completely worried in vain.

This person gave thirty acres of land to the clan, not to mention that the patriarch would help him, even the clansmen surnamed Gu had to stand on his side.

After all, in the hands of Mrs. Gu, they can't get any benefits, and the property belonging to the clan is different.

"You're so willing."

Thirty acres of land, how long does it take to open up the wasteland, and if you say you will send it out, you will send it out.

Gu Shi thought that she was dissatisfied with her own approach, and her heart tightened: "I ......"

"I know. Mrs. Gu occupies the name of the elders no matter what, if you forcibly snatch the family property from her, whether you can rob it or not, it is not to say, a crime of unfilial piety is stable. ”

"But your father left it for you, instead of cheapening those relatives who are full of malice towards you, it is better to let others go, so you did the right thing."

After saying that, Lin Baobao was stunned, and she suddenly remembered Feng's theory of "if you don't pick it up, you will be picked up by others, why should you cheapen others".

At that time, Gu Shi agreed, wouldn't it be inspired from here?

Gu Shi didn't know what she was thinking, and explained: "According to the laws of Dayue, grandparents, fathers, and mothers set up separate accounts during their lifetimes, and it is unfilial piety to save money privately, with eighty rods and three thousand exiles. ”

But the people don't sue them, the officials don't hold them accountable, and it's not for nothing that parents are still choosing to split up.

I knew that this era focused on filial piety, and I also heard Lin Baobao's brows: "Then it doesn't matter if you do this?" ”

"There's the patriarch here."

The imperial power is not under the county, only the clan under the county, and the clans are all autonomous, as long as the patriarch and the clansmen are on his side, Mrs. Gu is helpless.

"That's good." Lin Baobao breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Shi lowered his eyes, there is another rule in the Dayue law, people who are not filial piety are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

Time flashed to the end of July, and in the past month, rows of tea oil trees have been planted on the two acres of mountainous land of the Lin family, and the seedlings of the second crop rice have also been planted.

And the villagers of Dahe Village were shocked to numb from seeing the Lin family working at the beginning, and finally got used to it.

Everyone has to admit that the Lin family has really changed, and they are no longer the lazy people who shake their heads when others mention it, in addition, they also found one thing......

"Lin Xiaoliu, your second brother blocked the ditch dug by the dog's father, and you don't care about it."
