Li Xiaohan walked towards the patriarch's house behind everyone, while recalling everything about the patriarch in his mind.

The current patriarch's surname is Li Mingmanjing, and he is far away from Li Xiandong's family, but according to his generation, he is the same generation as Li Xiandong, and he is more than ten years older than Li Xiandong.

In the war, the Li family had capable people who fled to Pingshan Village with the Li family, along the way, it was very thrilling, but the clan was united, and the previous patriarch was wise, so the clan affairs, the patriarch had the right to speak.

The same is true for the same people of other surnames, in troubled times, those who are not twisted into a rope cannot escape.

Even after escaping, there are still many fights between clans, fighting for land, water, grabbing materials issued by the government, and competing for easy labor, all of which depend on which clan's fist is bigger and which clan has more capable people.

This trend has continued.

Thinking of this period of family history, Li Xiaohan understood why Li Xiandong and the Wang family were so desperate.

It's not just Li Cairong's income, but because there is no hope - no money, no son, no one will even want to succeed, and their family will only get worse and worse.

That's why her father took the risk of looking for ginseng, and only with money can he have a chance to turn over.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Shengli's talk about the separation, the patriarch frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

Patriarch Li naturally understood what Li Shengli was doing to divide the family.

Studying with Zhu Xiucai, and studying in the village are not the same, the four seasons ceremony, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the cost of the imperial examination in the future, the second room can't go on without the support of family property.

Xiandong is indeed the eldest son, and Changrong is indeed promising, as the patriarch, Li Manjing instinctively thinks about the inheritance and growth of the clan.

Weighing at both ends of the scale, in the end the temptation brought by a reader is too great.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, and since you have all agreed, I have no opinion."

The patriarch sighed, took out the rice paper, bound it into a book, and then filled it in with a small brush, and wrote down the reasons for the separation, houses, and fields as just described, and everyone did not dare to disturb them during the period.

However, this does not include Li Xiaohan, "Grandfather, patriarch, five hanging money is the money for building a house in a separate family. Then how do I count my mother's fat pigs, chickens and ducks? Can you give us some? Sold livestock so that they could use money to buy pots and pans. ”

Just now at home, I only talked about the fields, not the money, because of the money in the family, Li Xiaohan's family of three didn't know the amount at all, and Li Shengli and others insisted that there was no money, so it was useless.

However, it is different to say it in front of Patriarch Li, the patriarch has a fair reputation, whether it is true or not, his own family is divided like this, and he brings it up in person, and the patriarch will not open his eyes and not see it.

Some can fight for some is some.

As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere was suffocated, and the patriarch stopped, "Uncle Shengli, the five hanging money is the construction fee, how much is the family silver you give to Xiandong?" And how to divide the bits and pieces of livestock such as iron pots? ”

According to the seniority of the clan, Patriarch Li called Li Shengli an uncle, but everyone knows that this is just a title, and no one can challenge the authority of the patriarch by virtue of his seniority.

Sure enough, Li Shengli paused for a while, and Fang said: "There are nearly ten hangings of money at home, so let's give Xiandong two hangings of money, one hangs of family silver, and one hangs of livestock fragments, divide your rations for half a year, and you can buy the rest yourself." ”

Li Xiaohan showed a hidden smile in his eyes, in his memory, his grandfather was a person who loved face, his father Mu Ne didn't know how to speak, and he couldn't earn face for him, coupled with Chen's pillow style, Li Shengli slowly felt that this son made him rude, and until today he had to drive his family of three out of the house.

Look, now this good face is the breakthrough point, no, the patriarch spoke, and the grandfather gave his family an extra amount of cash.

Don't underestimate these two pieces of money, some people don't know how heartache it is.

Li Xiaohan glanced at her stepgrandmother, and saw that her stepgrandmother's face was extremely ugly, her lips were pursed, and she seemed to be extremely dissatisfied.

Li Xiaohan is not worried about his step-grandmother's opposition, his grandfather has a good face, and his step-grandmother has always taken a subtle route, and she will never refute her grandfather's face in front of everyone.

The two elders nodded, and the juniors below such as Li Xiannan and Li Changrong would no longer have any objections.

These two hanging money, stable.

Sure enough, seeing that everyone did not raise their voices to object, the patriarch waved his pen and wrote the family silver into it. Then, two more copies were written exactly the same.

"Okay, the three brothers Uncle Shengli and Xiandong, come and press the handprint. Evergreen, as the eldest grandson, you also have to press. Xiandong, your family ......" the patriarch's words came to an abrupt end.

After all, there is no son.

"Patriarch, I'll press it, I'll press it for my future brother, if it's really not good, I'll recruit a son-in-law when the time comes." Li Xiaohan said crisply.

What are you doing, you're not a human, don't think you're a woman and catch your family bullying.

Moreover, Li Xiaohan always felt that his stepgrandmother always vaguely wanted to eat her own family. First of all, take a preventive shot from the patriarch to recruit a son-in-law.

Li Xiandong and the Wang family thought that Li Xiaohan was pressed for his unborn brother, the patriarch thought in his heart that Mo Fei Xiandong's heart was cold and he was ready to recruit a son-in-law, and Li Shengli and the others thought that it was better to have more than one thing at this time, and finish the matter with dignity.

So, Li Xiaohan temporarily replaced the heir of their house and pressed his handprint in this family separation document.

"One is for the family, one is for Uncle Shengli, and one is for Xiandong." The patriarch distributed.

Then, the patriarch Fang said to Li Xiandong, "Xiandong, where are you going to buy that piece of homestead?" ”

"Isn't there a big tree in the east of the village, and there is still a homestead next to his house? Is that the right piece okay? Li Xiandong thought for a moment and said in a low voice.

That piece of land is the farthest away from the current Li family.

"Okay, I'll write the paperwork for you together, and I'll take you to Lizheng in the afternoon."

After the family separation document is written, go to the fields to draw the boundary clearly, and then find Li Zheng to sign when there is no problem.

To go to Lizheng's house, you only need Li Shengli and Li Xiandong, and Li Xiaohan and the others go home first.
