Chapter 13 When The Family Is Splitting

"The family has a total of 20 mu of high-grade field, 10 mu of medium field, 10 mu of dry land, 10 mu of sandy land, a shop, and 60 taels of silver. I want to divide it into six shares. Each of you four brothers will have one share. I have a share with your mother, and Yuzhu's dowry is still a share. The grocery store in the town has always been managed by your elder brother, and Wen'er is still studying, so the cost is relatively high, so the grocery store will share it with you. Dafang, the land will not be distributed to Dafang. Each of your three brothers has 4 acres of high-quality field, 2 acres of medium field, 2 acres of dry land, 2 acres of sandy land, and 10 taels of silver. The same is true for Yuzhu. Me and The same is true for your mother’s field money, we will live with your eldest brother, and you will give an additional 2 taels of silver for living expenses every year, and clothing and etiquette for the four seasons will be paid separately.”

Mr. Shen drank his saliva and continued: "As for the house, we can divide it according to how we live in it. The vegetable garden is divided into four parts, one for the family. There is only one chicken coop and pigsty. The property belongs to me and your mother. The chickens, ducks and cattle are also owned by me and your mother, and the pigs will be divided after the Chinese New Year. The three brothers and your family have two farm tools."

Hearing that the shop is all owned by Dafang's family, Mrs. Li has some opinions. My sister-in-law and they share exactly the same things, and they are even more unhappy. The old man and Shen Zhuang have 4 acres of high-quality field and 2 acres of medium-sized field. , 2 acres of sandy land, 2 acres of dry land, 10 taels of silver and 2 taels of silver pension for each family every year, four seasons clothes and etiquette, etc. She was furious, and she just did it for a long time in her life. Sitting on the ground, he slapped the ground with his hands and shouted: "Oh, this is not letting people live. The man in the big house has a shop worth 150 taels, and he can get a few taels of silver every month. My sister-in-law's dowry I get as much as the brothers in the family. The two of us get as much as the six of us. We also need 2 taels of living expenses every year, and the clothes and etiquette of the four seasons are a year. Money, my husband can’t earn 2 taels of silver even if he goes out to work all year round. God, you just accept us. If you don’t farm, you will starve to death. After farming, you have no money to honor your parents. Use different ways to subsidize others. Jinghua, Jingye, Jingzhi, you are not the descendants of the Shen family, you deserve no one to love you."

Shen Xiao'er once again refreshed her understanding of Li Shi, she had never seen such a faceless and sloppy person in her two lifetimes combined.

"My sons, why aren't you the eldest grandson, so that you can eat other people's flesh and drink other people's blood. Now you don't plan to marry a wife, let's make the second wife a complete family."

The faces of the old man, Mrs. Shen Zhuang, sister-in-law, and Da Fang's family are all dark as hell.

"Second brother, you don't care what your daughter-in-law looks like!" Mr. Shen shouted loudly.

"You dirty bitch, don't you want to raise your parents? I'm going to the government to sue you and put you in prison." Shen Zhuang's voice was stern, she was really angry, the old man originally only wanted 1 She felt that two taels of silver was too little for the old-age pension, so there was still a fight, and the old man took a step back and said that if the daughters-in-law had no objections, they could let her go.Now that Mrs. Li is making a fuss, she loses 3 taels a year, which is not to kill her.

"Oh my God, whoever is going to judge the reasoning, I have to be ordered to give two taels of silver. By then, the whole family will starve to death, so how can I support you!" Shi Li ignored Shen Chengzong's false dissuasion and pulled her away. hands.She can't stop, the third room and the fourth room can't be counted on, parents can do whatever they want, it's just stupid.

"The three sons of my family, Hua'er, will have to marry each other in two years. I will give you two taels of silver every year, and you can even talk about kissing! It's better not to divide the family at all. My son's money for marriage, and my daughter's dowry. Don't worry." Speaking of this, Li suddenly thought that since sister-in-law can get a share of the family property as a dowry like a son, why can't her son and daughter not, so she howled louder: "Sister-in-law can get a dowry, My son and daughter’s dowry and dowry also get a share, and the things in the family have to be divided again.”

"Damn, your son and daughter don't pay the dowry by themselves, and you still think of me, what's the point! You're thinking wisely, you're eating from the bowl and looking at the pot!" Mrs. Shen Zhuang couldn't sit still. He stood up, put one hand on his hip, and spat at Mrs. Li.

"Enough! Shut up!" Mr. Shen threw his drinking bowl on the ground and yelled, "500 Wen, 500 Wen per year for each family's pension."

The world was instantly quiet, Xiao'er couldn't help rubbing her buzzing ears.

Shen Zhuangshi reacted and refused, Li Shi didn't want to spend a penny, and the two just wanted to continue to quarrel.Old man Shen hurriedly shouted: "Okay, it's settled like this, whoever is dissatisfied can go back to her mother's house, my Shen family can't afford this unkind and unfilial daughter-in-law!" : "Jing Wen, go and invite Li Zheng, the village head and the family of the great grandfather, as well as Mr. Guo and Mr. Lin." Mr. Shen mentioned a few more prestigious elders in the village.Then he waved his hand and asked Shen Jingwen to invite someone.

Shen Chengzong pulled Li Shi's hand, and motioned her to stop talking. He had Shen Chengguang's handle in his hand, so he didn't worry that he wouldn't be able to get money out of his hand in the future.

Old man Shen breathed a sigh of relief before speaking: "Do you have any comments?"

Everyone shook their heads and said no.

"Since you don't have any, then hurry up and clean up the house, and don't be rude when people come." Old man Shen originally wanted to separate the family after the autumn harvest, but after being tossed and tossed by Li, it would be a long night and dreamy, so he decided to make a quick decision. Knowing that the Shen Zhuang family has hidden 100 taels of silver, Dafang must have a lot of private houses.After a long time, Li Shi calculated again and again.I am a little unfair, but this is also for the development of the whole family, to honor the ancestors.When Jing Wen becomes an official in the future, everything will get better, she is really an ignorant woman with short-sightedness.

Shen Chengguang remembered that Lizheng and the others had to be invited to dinner after the separation, so he said to Mr. Shen: "Father, after the separation, we have to prepare dinner."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, Chengzong, go to your old man's house in the town and buy some meat. Also, buy some vegetables if you see what's available. Don't be rude for dinner later." Mr. Shen With a slap on the thigh, he almost forgot such an important matter. Fortunately, the eldest son was careful.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang also invited several daughter-in-laws to prepare dinner, but the vegetables had to be washed before the meat and vegetables came back.

"Mother, you are still in confinement, go back to the room first, so as not to blow the wind." Xiao'er took the opportunity to let Liu back to the room.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang was dissatisfied after hearing this: "This farmer's family is so particular, there are guests tonight, and there are not enough people to cook, so you can help cook."

"It's because there are guests coming that I asked my mother to come in. If outsiders see my mother cooking for them, they can't feel at ease!" Xiao'er replied bluntly.

After hearing this, Mr. Shen can't just sit idly by. If someone comes to see it, it will be ugly: "My third daughter-in-law, you can go back to the house, and don't come out if you have nothing to do." This is still not good for them. If you have an opinion about helping with the cooking, you can't speak well.

In fact, Mr. Shen didn't care about Mr. Liu's cooking or not, but he didn't like Shen Xiaoer contradicting Mrs. Shen.For a long time, the upper and lower members of the third house have been obedient to their elders.He didn't want anyone to get out of his control, but I'm sorry, I'm going to disappoint him, and soon he knew that after the separation, everyone got out of his control and stood up as the master of the house.

After Xiao'er took Liu Shi back to her room, she remembered that she had promised Shen Zixuan to eat at his house today, and it seemed that she couldn't go, so she called Jing Hao and asked him to talk to Shen Zixuan.

I stayed at home to help pick and wash vegetables.
