Chapter 50: Separation
Gu Shi didn't ink, so he opened the box directly, and small ingots of five taels and one ingot appeared in front of everyone.
Du Ming raised his eyebrows, these people in the He family are not worth fifty taels at all, it is naturally best to receive the money, and it is easy for him to go back.
He nodded, and motioned for his younger brother to go and get the money.
"Wait a minute." Gu Shi suddenly closed the box again, and his eyes swept over the He family sitting on the ground: "We haven't decided how many people we want to ransom yet." ”
Du Ming's eyes narrowed, and his eyes gradually sharpened when he looked at Gu Shi: "Are you kidding me?" ”
"Don't dare." Gu Shi shook his head, and said with a straight face: "The money was borrowed by the He family, and we are just in-laws with the He family in the final analysis, and we really don't want to be the boss of this injustice for no reason." ”
Du Ming was slightly stunned, looked at the frightened or angry eyes of the He family in front of him, and chuckled: "Cheng, I'll give you a tea time to decide." ”
"Let's talk about it first, the most valuable in this He family is the big one and the small one in it."
He said this only because he saw that they cared about the life and death of Chunya and the newborn child.
Gu Shi turned around and handed the box to Lin Dalang.
Obviously it was just a small box, but Lin Dalang seemed to be holding the weight of a daughter, and said solemnly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely protect this money." ”
Gu Shi glanced at the box he was holding in his arms, and pulled Lin Baobao into the yard, the thugs subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Du Ming's eyes swept him away.
The two didn't look at the He family who were gagged and whining on the ground, and walked straight to the front of the West House.
Uncle Lin's face was haggard, and his voice was dry: "Little Liu, you ......"
Lin Baobao interrupted him: "Uncle, if you have anything to say later, I'll go first to see how Chunya is." ”
Women's childbirth is one foot in the ghost gate, she wants to see the spring buds first.
Uncle Lin also thought that after the child cried a few times, there was no movement inside, so he hurriedly got out of the way.
Lin Baobao pushed the door open, and a smell of blood came to his face.
People in the countryside don't have enough money, and if the family has many people and few houses to live in, they will be like the Lin family, dividing the whole house into two, with children living outside and adults living inside.
The He family is almost the same, but Chunya's child has just been born, and there is no need for two rooms, so the outside room is full of sundries.
In the inner room, Chunya had just woken up, and she was looking at Fang Liang with a numb face, no matter how Xiao Liao talked to her, it was as if she hadn't heard it, and she didn't even want to look at the child that Sun had brought over.
Maybe she is also strange in her heart, and the strange mother's family is unwilling to take out the land to save her.
Until the door connecting the outhouse was pushed open, and the faces of several people in the room changed in unison.
Seeing that the person who came was Lin Baobao, he put down his heart again.
The other party only gave a cup of tea, and Lin Baobao explained the current situation concisely and got straight to the point: "I just came in and asked, do you want to split up?" ”
As Feng said, Mother He is an eccentric, she not only favors He Dong, who caused trouble this time, but also He the second child and the little girl.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have let the young He Lao Er marry his wife first, but He Cheng reached twenty, and He's mother married Chunya for him.
He Cheng's own son is not welcomed, how is Chunya's life in the He family, from the last time the Liao family and the little Liao family came to see her, it can be seen that there was no meal left at noon.
is also Liao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are soft-natured, so change Feng's and don't make a fuss.
Xiao Liao's face changed: "Divide, split the family?" ”
"Parents are here, no family" is a concept engraved in the bones of people nowadays.
The most important thing is that the conscription is calculated according to the household, as long as the family is not separated, only one person from the family needs to be produced.
It's no wonder that Xiao Liao has this reaction.
But in fact, He Cheng's mother is partial to the two sons who are under her head, and it is He Cheng who goes to serve in the He family every year.
What does it matter if you don't divide your family like this?
Lin Baobao didn't speak, just looked at the pale Chunya, waiting for her to give an answer.
Gu Shi reminded her of this on the way to Xiaohe Village, but he said that this was not for Chunya's injustice in the He family's life, but for the analysis of the He family's current situation.
The He family will have more difficult life after they have no land, and they have to ask Uncle Lin's family to help.
This is different from helping one's own daughters and sons-in-law and helping sons-in-law.
Moreover, everyone has a fluke mentality, and they are afraid that something will happen to the He family in the future.
Chunya, as the daughter-in-law of the He family, must be implicated, and the Lin family can't clean up the mess again and again.
……
"Why do you want to break up? No separation. Mother He's mouth was so blocked that the sackcloth was finally taken away, and when she heard Lin Baobao's words, she shook her head without thinking about it.
"Mother-in-law, don't get me wrong, I'm not discussing with you now, but letting you make a choice." Lin Baobao smiled slightly: "Do you want your family to be dragged away to pay off the debt, or do you want to separate my stupid niece from her man?" ”
He Mu was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" Isn't that the meaning of the little hoof? It's really upside down, the old lady and the old man are not dead yet, she wants to go out and be the master of the house by herself. ”
After scolding, she glared at He Cheng next to her: "White-eyed wolf, do you think so too?" It's a shame that the old lady pulled you up with a handful of and urine, and I knew that you were so conscienceless, and I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place. ”
He Cheng's eyes were red, and he shook his head with a whin.
Lin Baobao frowned, seeing that Mother He kept scolding, and cooperated with Gu Shi to stuff the sackcloth back with tacit understanding.
"This matter has nothing to do with your son and daughter-in-law, it's that I'm not happy that the girls of our Lin family are affected by your He family, it's okay if you really don't want to divide them, it's a big deal, I don't care about the life or death of your He family, and I can save some silver."
The son cannot mention the separation of the family, but the parents can take the initiative to divide the people.
When the rest of the He family heard this, they all looked at He Mu for help.
When others say this, they may not believe it, what can't the Lin family's Xiaoliu do?
Mother He's eyes were red with anger, and she kept glaring at He Cheng for a long time.
"It's useless to stare at your son, if you don't agree to split the family, he will also be sold."
As a son, He Cheng is destined to be unable to be alone.
"As far as the matter of a letter and a letter of departure, our Lin family's girl, our Lin family can still afford it."
Uncle Lin wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Shi with a look.
It was only at this time that Du Ming finally understood what the sentence "I haven't decided how many people to ransom" meant.
was used as a gunman, he didn't feel angry unexpectedly, but cooperated with great interest: "It's time for a cup of tea, have you decided?" ”
Gu Shi's eyes flashed, and without waiting for Lin Baobao to speak, he answered: "It's decided, redeem the two." ”
The two, naturally, are Chunya and her child.
"Cheng, there are two twenty-five taels inside, and I will take the others." Du Ming stood up.
Seeing this, the thugs on the side immediately went to drag people, and the He family turned white in fright, shaking their heads desperately and nodding their heads.
Lin Baobao took off the linen cloth in He's mother's mouth at the right time.
Seeing that everyone else was dragged out of the hospital, He Mu screamed: "Divide, divide immediately." ”
Da Mao appeared at the right time with the head of Xiaohe Village.
It is worth mentioning that the village chief of Xiaohe Village is the head of the Gu family.
The next thing is simple, write the separation paperwork.
The He family's slightly valuable things were used to pay off debts, including livestock and farm tools, iron pots, and ......
Otherwise, just three acres of land and the little money saved by Lin He's family would not be enough to make up the other fifty taels.
So it's easy to divide the family, just the house they live in.
It stands to reason that He Cheng has to be divided into a room, but He Mu hates it in her heart, and she doesn't want to give them anything.
It is equivalent to asking their family of three to leave the house.
He Cheng didn't fight for it himself, and Lin Baobao wouldn't do it again, if she really wanted Chunya to continue to live here, she was still worried that this family would be in vain.
However, Gu Shi mentioned that in the future, He Cheng only needs to support the two elders in accordance with the rules of the village.
Lin Baobao has been pampered since he was a child, and he can't imagine that even if the family is separated, the elders have many reasons to take advantage of the younger generations.
Gu Shi has lived under Mrs. Gu for two years, what have you never seen? It's much more thoughtful to think about it.
Don't look at just adding such a sentence to the family separation paperwork, it can actually save a lot of trouble.
The family separation documents are in triplicate, each of which is pressed with their own handprints, one copy for each of the three people, He Mu, He Cheng, and Gu Patriarch.
After dividing the family, Gu Shi gave the silver to Du Ming, who glanced at him with a smile and took someone away.
Mother He wanted to regret it afterwards, but was deterred by Lin Dalang and didn't mention it for the time being.
I don't know how Chunya persuaded him, Uncle Lin didn't say anything in the end, and directly asked people to pack up Chunya's things and bring their family of three back to Dahe Village.
When he got home, it was already late at night, and Feng was persuaded by Lin Baobao to stay at home to accompany Liao, and when they came back, he hurriedly asked Zhao to go to hot dishes.
Liao was worried about Chunya, thanked Lin Baobao and said that he would definitely pay back the money and went home.
Dinner was interrupted in the middle of dinner, everyone was hungry, Feng didn't want to disturb his daughter and son-in-law eating, so he only caught Lin Dalang and a few people to ask.
After she learned what had happened, the young couple was full.
"This family is well divided, your uncle is also stupid, why are you hesitating, it's such a rotten family, don't you hurry up and take the opportunity to divide it and wait to be picked up?"
"It's still my Bao'er who is smart and thoughtful."
Lin Baobao was embarrassed to be praised: "Actually, it's all Ah Shi's idea." ”
Everyone looked at Gu Shi and thought of another thing in their hearts at the same time.
"Son-in-law, where did you get all that money?" Feng asked.
Lin Dalang nodded several times, indicating that they also wanted to know.
Yes, the fifty taels of silver were not obtained by the Lin family from the sale of land, but taken out by Gu Shi.
When they saw a box of silver ingots, they almost dropped their jaws.
Gu Shi pursed his lips: "My father left it, I ...... it"
He had money but didn't hand it over, and Rao was Gu Shi and didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"Ah Shi has already given me the money. Mother, didn't you ask me where my money came from? That's where it is. I am afraid that you will go around and talk about it, so I will not mention it to you. Lin Baobao answered.
In fact, there are many loopholes in this statement, Ruolin Baobao originally had so much money in her hands, it was impossible for her to propose to sell the land in the first place.
However, the Lin family is now full of the fifty taels of silver, and they can't think of these at all.
Feng Shi didn't blame his daughter for hiding it from herself, and swallowed her saliva: "Then, is there anything else?" ”
I thought that five taels of silver would buy back a son-in-law who woke up his daughter with blessings, but I didn't expect this son-in-law to be holding a golden egg.
The old lady felt that she had spent her money too much.
Lin Baobao: ...... She doesn't know.
Gu Shi sighed, took out a small handful of broken silver from his sleeve and put it on the table, about two or three taels.
"It's all here." When he said this, a deep sense of frustration welled up in his heart.
His money, gone!
