Chapter 35 Compensation
"Ms. Ding, if you want to make trouble again and embarrass us Liang family members, get out of Liangjiawan. Liangjiawan doesn't want people like you who are unreasonable and disrespectful. Shuanzi's father is still alive. I’ll divorce you just the same!”

Patriarch Liang's words frightened the widow Liang, who had been naughty and arrogant at first, to lose her temper instantly and she fell to the ground crying and howling.

In rural areas, especially in rural areas of this era, no matter how arrogant you are, you dare not offend your family. That would be equivalent to offending the entire village, and you will not be able to live in this village.

Not to mention Widow Liang, no one, not even the able-bodied young and middle-aged people in the village, dared to have such courage.

Many times, when all kinds of bad things happen in the village, the bottom line is that the person in charge doesn't want to interfere in the matter and offend others.

Patriarch Liang is not a fool. Today's incident involves other villages, and if the commotion continues, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the village.

Moreover, Liang Shunzi was a member of the Liang family, and Widow Liang was just a widow. She could not cause much trouble in the village. For the sake of family honor, to show off himself and regain his authority, Patriarch Liang naturally took action.

"Third brother of the Jiang family, what you said makes sense. If a tree has big branches, people will have big branches. It is a reasonable thing to divide the family. It's just that Shuanzi has not been heard from since he left these years. Now that the family is divided, we also need to clean up the family. What things are there, summarize them and then divide them.

Little brother, your family is considered a sensible person. Shuanzi’s daughter-in-law is hardworking and capable. We have all noticed it over the years, but Shuanzi doesn’t believe her. How can Shuanzi’s daughter-in-law live as a woman after the separation?I don’t have any children either…”

Patriarch Liang hesitated.

This man is a master negotiator!

There are many experts among the people. Although the patriarch may speak in an old-fashioned way and not have much culture, if he can stand in a certain position, he will naturally have his own abilities.

Jiang Defu admired this man again.

This person must have figured out the purpose of their family. If he dares to make such a fuss with his sister's family, he naturally doesn't want to live any longer.

"Clan Chief Liang, my sister is also a hard-working person, especially my brother-in-law! It's really difficult for her to be alone. Over the years, we have also thought that she is young and might as well go home. It's just that she always wanted to keep the rules for her brother-in-law. Ding treated her like that She, she doesn’t want to leave, and there’s nothing we can do!

Now even if she goes back, she will have to bear the reputation of a widow. What good life will she have left?I have worked hard in the Liang family for so many years, and there is hard work without credit. I believe that all of us in Liangjiawan can see it.

I have worked hard here for so many years and then go back in vain..."

Jiang Defu sighed and said.

His words made everyone watching the scene nod frequently. These days, when a woman returns to her parents' home, many times...

It's okay if the parents are here, but without the parents, who would be willing to accept it?
It’s hard for women!

Many of the wives present secretly shed tears.

"Ms. Ding, there are two options for you to choose today. The first is to separate the family. Just because Shuanzi hasn't come back now doesn't mean he won't come back in the future. Even if he doesn't come back, if his wife doesn't leave, she will also have to leave. If the family is separated, she can adopt a child first and let Shuanzi guard it;

Second, that is, Shuanzi’s daughter-in-law returns to her parents’ home. She has worked hard in your home for so many years and has done a lot of work. She can’t let her go back in vain. You should provide three bags of grains to compensate her! "

Patriarch Liang said directly.

"My mother! Patriarch, our family doesn't have much food in total. If you give her two bags, my mother and I will starve to death, and we won't be able to survive!"

Widow Liang cried directly.

Naturally, she doesn't want to divide the family. If the family is divided, everything will be divided into two halves, which will be a big loss!
She is naturally reluctant to give up Jiang Dehua's free labor from the bottom of her heart. But compared to dividing the family property, she is naturally willing to pay something and let her get out.

It's just that she has always been naughty, and three bags of corn would kill her.

"Master, my family... I have three bags of grains. I will take you to get them!"

Liang Shunzi suddenly stood up and said.

This child is quite honest and doesn't want his mother to make trouble there.

"Shunzi...Shunzi...!"

Widow Liang came over crying to pull her son away! "Ms. Ding, if you keep making trouble, if it doesn't work, we'll separate the family!"

Patriarch Liang said sharply.

When he said this, Widow Liang was so frightened that she did not dare to move.

If we want to separate the family, it won't be a matter of two bags of corn.

Jiang Daniu and Jiang Decai followed the corn puller and quickly pulled it out.

"There are only two and a half bags of corn at home, and one generation of wheat..."

Liang Shunzi said nonchalantly.

It seems that there is not much food at home.

"This is all we have left. If you take them all away, what can we eat... Wuwuwu..."

Mrs. Ding was sobbing on the side, but did not dare to step forward.

"Clan Chief Liang, we are also kind people. Although this Ding family does not have a kind heart and is selfish and mean, this child Shunzi is quite good. We don't want to embarrass the child. Let's do this. We can just take away a bag of corn. This is the divorce procedure. …”

Jiang Defu stepped forward and said.

They came today not for food, but to get Jiang Dehua out of the Liang family.

If you don't take this method and think about reconciliation from the beginning, it will definitely not be easy. These days, if a woman wants to divorce, it is simply impossible without the consent of the man.

"You are indeed kind people! Xiaoliu, go get a pen and paper, I will write this agreement with Li Shu!"

……

"Third brother, the clan leader has already said, give us three bags of grains, why do we only need this one bag!"

On the way back, Jiang Dehua pouted and said.

She disliked Ding's mother-in-law very much. She struggled to make a living under her hands and was often annoyed by her.

Of course, Mrs. Ding is indeed unkind, but Jiang Dehua has no eyesight, is stubborn, and speaks in an irritating way. When Mrs. Ding is angry, she will throw things at her from time to time.

Jiang Dehua was not stupid at this time, and usually ran away directly.

But the next punishment is usually to endure hunger.

Jiang Dehua, who was used to being hungry, naturally valued food.

"Forget it, their family doesn't have much food. Do you really want to bring them back and starve them to death? That's what the patriarch said!"

Jiang Defu smiled.

Today, things generally went according to my expectations.

And today's food can be regarded as an unexpected "wealth". He originally said that and asked Widow Liang to weigh the pros and cons between the two.

If people show their trump cards from the beginning, things will be very difficult!
If you want the other person to do what you want, then let her have fewer choices, so that she won't be too greedy!
"Defu, then... isn't the patriarch very fair? I see that he keeps talking to us, and he is very impressed with Widow Liang's behavior. Not to mention, when he reprimanded Widow Liang, I heard that he was really comfortable , then Widow Liang didn’t dare to say anything on the spot!”

Qiaozhi asked with some confusion.

Shi Daniu and the others also looked at Jiang Defu, and they also felt that the Liang clan leader was okay.
