Chapter 4: Separation

, the Meng family made a fuss about separating the family, and the old patriarch's beard puffed out one by one. I never thought that I would make my family break up by taking care of a white matter.

Shen Maosheng and Shen Maoping's old brothers had no choice. There are many people in the family who study and have no money, and there is always one of the two ends who will be wronged.

"Grandpa, I agree to split up." When everyone was embarrassed, Shen Chenxiang's brother and sister stood at the door of the house.

"Child, how can you agree to split the family, what will you do if you split the family. Without waiting for the Shen family patriarch to speak, Li Zheng spoke. He also really feels sorry for these children, the adults are gone, there are orphans and widows left, and their mothers are still pregnant and need good medicine every day.

"I can take care of them, they are all obedient." After Shen Chenxiang finished speaking, he stood there confidently, his aura full of energy. The old patriarch and Li Zheng glanced at each other and said in their hearts, "This child's future is limitless. ”

"Look at this," Li Zheng said to the old patriarch and Shen Maosheng.

"Divide it, the children are all older, let them live by themselves, and our old couple should also enjoy some blessings." Shen Maosheng said, he is also very sad, what is he doing all his life!

"Dad, we don't have a family," said the third and fourth children in the house.

"Divide it, your mother and I will also enjoy Qingfu. You go and call the fifth child," Shen Maosheng said. As soon as the second child died, the blow to him was too great.

After a while, the fifth elder Shen Xiaoyi was helped by the He family and walked in, "Dad, grandfather, Li Zheng, uncle, brothers and brothers." ”

"Sit down. Today, it just so happens that your grandfather and Li Zheng are here, we have divided the family, and you are alone. Shen Maosheng said.

"How are you going to divide it?" Rizheng said.

"My family has 10 acres of paddy fields and 10 acres of dry fields. We were divided into five, and five of your brothers were divided equally. The two acres of vegetable garden are planted by our old family. There are ten bags of bud rice at home, and the remaining four bags belong to our family. You can buy the pots and pans yourself, and we will keep one set. This month you take turns cooking and eating. You can still live in your own house, you can go out to live by yourself, you don't pay for the public school, you pay for it yourself, this house belongs to our old couple. Do you agree? The brothers immediately nodded: "Agreed." ”

"Okay, after the things are divided, let's talk about the debt, the year before last, a few of them borrowed 3 taels of silver from school, and the 3 taels of silver are divided equally between the eldest and the second, the third and the fifth. Last year, the fifth child got married and borrowed one or two halves, and the fifth half of these two halves was repaid. This year, this year. Shen Maosheng couldn't go on when he said this. He's so sad! As soon as something happened to the second family, he separated them, and he couldn't say it.

"Grandpa, we will pay for the medical expenses and how much this incident costs." Shen Chenxiang took the initiative to speak when he saw his grandfather's embarrassment.

"Of course you have to pay for it yourself, in the past few years, the family has provided you with food and drink, and you don't know how much money you have saved." As soon as Meng heard Shen Chenxiang say that he was in charge, he immediately felt that they had saved a lot of money. The others were also stunned.

As soon as Shen Yu heard this, she opened her mouth to scold Meng, but she knew that the Cheng family had embroidered day and night for several children of the Shen family to go to school in the past few years.

"Do grandparents think the same way?" Shen Chenxiang spoke before Shen Yu, he knew that it was not easy for women, there were too many rules and regulations, and he didn't want his sister to have a strong reputation at a young age, saying that their family education was not good.

"Then tell me how much money you have saved over the years, and your father also earns a lot of money a year." Chen spoke, and she also felt that the child had money in his hands.

"Mother, the second sister-in-law's family has no money, maybe there are still a lot of foreign debts." When Lao Wu heard his mother ask like this, he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade. He lived with his second brother for four years, and he knew very well that it was difficult for his second brother to become a monk, and the family was very poor.

"I still wronged them, look at their appearance." Chen was very angry when he heard that the fifth child defended Shen Chenxiang and refuted her words.

Shen Chenxiang heard this, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces. Unhurriedly, he said: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, Lizheng, uncles and uncles, since grandma and aunt said so, I will calculate our family's income and expenses." Li Zheng was stunned when he heard this, no, the child of Shen Xiaozhong's family is only ten years old this year, is it possible to start taking care of the house? The old patriarch said in his heart that this kid won't be blind, my child doesn't understand anything when he is twelve. Shen Maoping said in his heart that filial piety will educate children. Shen Mao said in his heart that this kid wanted to deceive people. I don't believe he can understand these things.

Shen Chenxiang looked around and said slowly: "My father's monthly silver is two taels a month, and after deducting Mu Xiu's money, it is twenty taels a year." The courtyard rented by my family is 500 taels a month, six taels of silver a year, and there are 14 taels of silver left. The college is five taels of silver every year, and my father is a college gentleman, and I go to school at half price. The fifth uncle and the eldest brother and the third brother used the clear forehead of my eldest uncle and second uncle. That is to say, there are three people in our family at half price, and one person is full price. It's twelve and a half in a year. My dad still has one or two halves of moonsilver left. Our college has two sets of single clothes and two sets of cotton clothes every year. A single coat is 500 wen, cotton clothes are 1 tael of silver, and the four of us are 12 taels of silver a year. The paper is one tael of silver and a thousand sheets, and my father is strict, and it is three taels of silver a year. The pen is changed once a year, one is ten wen, that is, thirty wen. The eldest brother, the third brother, and the fifth uncle go to school, and the family pays three taels a year, and the fifteen taels and thirty wen minus one and a half, and the minus three taels is equal to ten taels and four hundred and seventy wen. The family gives fifty catties of bud rice every month, five men plus my younger siblings and mother, I don't say whether it is enough or not, everyone knows it in their hearts. If my grandparents don't believe that my family has an account book, you can also ask the fifth uncle to see if what I said is true. Shen Chenxiang sat there without moving, and said clearly every entry and exit.

This kid from the Shen family is really good, and he will become a big weapon in the future. This is the voice of everyone present, and it is also the countless sighs in the heart of the old patriarch, this kid used to only look polite, but he didn't expect to be so powerful, and he was better than his father.

Shen Maoping said in his heart, the second brother is blessed, and our family is tired and tired to raise a schooler. The three children of his family take three taels of silver a year after going to school, and people are more dead than people, and they are thrown away compared to goods. Everyone in the room looked at Shen Maosheng strangely.

"You kid, who doesn't believe your father, are you so clear? Your father also keeps accounts. Shen Maosheng couldn't hold back his face when he was said, and scolded Shen Chenxiang.

"There is no shortage of accounts to be settled." Shen Chenxiang is not pitiful.

"You ,......" Shen Mao was angry.

"Brother, the debts have been settled, do you have anything else?" Li is hurrying to play the round. He glared at Meng Shi, who was in trouble, and Meng Shi knew that he was in a bad position and didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Maosheng stabilized his mind and said: "It is the pension money, it stands to reason that we should follow the boss, but the land is divided equally." Our old couple will live by themselves, and they will give me 100 wen a month for each family, and we don't have to buy us anything during the New Year's holidays, we use the rest of the money to buy. That's all. ”

"Okay, then I'll write it according to this, one for each family." Rizheng said. The Shen family has ready-made pen and ink, and after a while, they have written the documents for the division of the family, one for each family, one for the village, and the remaining one for the yamen.
