Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

"Dad, Changxi, how much do you want as a betrothal gift for your Xiuxiu family?"

"Fifteen taels, take out fifteen taels and take them away immediately. All small gifts and banquets are included."

"What, it costs fifteen taels. You can't even use fifteen taels to marry a fairy. You have such a dark heart!"

"What kind of disease does Changxi's mother have? It costs thirty taels of silver. Don't even buy a coffin!"

"Look at your Xiuxiu family. She's so skinny that she has only a handful of bones left. She looks like she's having trouble getting pregnant. How can you have the nerve to ask for so many betrothal gifts!"

"…………"

The girl who had always been at odds with Shui Sanmei turned her mouth towards Xiuxiu who was standing in the middle of the crowd.

"My aunts and uncles are too talkative. My Xiuxiu is thin and thin. It's also because my mother was sick during this period and she was worried about her illness!"

"My sister-in-law has a good temper, is not bad at birth, and is diligent and polite. She is not as bad as you say!"

Huang Ying looked at Xiuxiu, who was standing alone in the crowd, being judged and looked at by others, with a confused and frightened expression, and she felt even more disgusted with this unreliable father-in-law.

He stood up hurriedly, regardless of his dizziness, pulled Xiuxiu behind him, tried his best to cover her figure, looked at everyone and said coldly.

As soon as Huang Ying's words came out, everyone murmured a little, and the patriarch, who had a bad expression at first, also softened his expression, knowing that the sister-in-law who was protecting the innocent was not a bad character, and she was a proper governor.

Later, she thought that longevity was indeed unbearable. Huang Ying thought that it was justifiable to separate the family and live a new life, so she put down the dissatisfaction in her heart.

The situation is indeed as the villagers said, if eggs cannot be put in one basket, longevity is no longer possible and is considered useless.

After picking Changxi out, Shui Sanmei and Changshou really finished tossing the fields the next day. Changxi and Huang Ying were still there. At least, these three people still had a place to live, and they would not be arranged by the village.

After thinking about this, the patriarch's mind became much clearer, and he asked them again if they really decided to separate the family. After getting a positive answer, he started to handle the family separation matters for them.

Shui Sanmei insisted that the two of them go out naked. This was contrary to the patriarch's ideas. How could he agree?

Seeing that Shui Sanmei was making a fuss, the clan leader took a deep look at Shui Sanmei and Tian Fugui and said, "This man must leave a way out for himself at all times!"

"It's not bright in the east, but it's bright in the west. When we grow wheat, we know that we need to pick more seeds and plant them separately. If we don't keep all the seeds in the field, we won't harvest them. The wheat grown in the remaining field will be life-saving food!"

The patriarch's words were easy to understand, and not only the onlookers could understand them, but also Shui Sanmei. After a long time, she nodded in resignation and only insisted on selling four acres of land before dividing it.

However, Tian Fugui disagreed and insisted on hiring Xiu Xiu out.

At this time, there was nowhere to find a wealthy family willing to pay fifteen taels of silver. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, Shui Sanmei refused to give in, and the matter became stalemate again.

"If Xiuxiu's fifteen-tael betrothal gift comes out of her husband's family, she will still have contact with her natal family in the future. If she signs a divorce letter, she will only be the daughter-in-law of my Li family. If she is not a girl of your Tian family, I will marry Xiuxiu of your family. Take it back!"

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded from the crowd.

Everyone, including Xiuxiu herself, looked at the person who spoke. It was Widow Zhou who lived in Liweizi.

"My Tietou is about the same age as Xiuxiu, and they are a good match in age. If your family agrees to sign a divorce letter and sell Xiuxiu to us, I will go home and get the money!"

Widow Zhou was dressed in old clothes, with only a wooden hairpin on her head. She was dressed very simply. In the past, except for her mouth, she showed no sign of her family background. She really didn't look like she could afford fifteen taels of silver.

Shui Sanmei stared blankly at Widow Zhou who was talking. This man actually wanted to buy her Xiuxiu and sign a divorce letter. For a moment, her heart ached, as if her heart was being dug out.

Huang Yingxin got married not long ago. She didn't know the background of Widow Zhou. After hearing this, she only protected Xiuxiu. She looked at Widow Zhou warily, and asked Chang Xi with her eyes. When Chang Xi nodded, she felt relieved.

Thinking on the bright side, at least this girl doesn't have to fall into a family with unknown roots. She is still in the same village. If anything happens, they, as brothers, can take care of her.

"Xiuxiu is your wife from now on, please go home quickly and get the money!"

Tian Fugui was afraid that the ladies at home would object again, so he hurriedly pulled Xiuxiu out from behind Huang Ying and pushed her towards Widow Zhou.

Widow Zhou might as well be like Tian Fugui. She supported Xiuxiu who was leaning towards her in a panic. When she touched her, she found that this girl was really skinny with only a handful of bones left. The dissatisfaction with her in her heart was relieved.

Looking carefully at Xiuxiu's description, it turns out that she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a pair of big eyes, but she is too thin, her chin is pointed, and her face looks haggard.

Recalling the appearance I had seen in the past, I felt satisfied.

No wonder Tietou likes her, she is a beautiful girl. Tietou and Tietou have to observe filial piety for a year, so they just take advantage of this time to take good care of her and produce meat so that they can have children.

Widow Zhou's face was indifferent and she said: "Please ask the village chief to write a letter of dissolution and a deed of betrayal. I can't trust his family's character. Don't take the money and then claim your daughter! Let my son be filial to them. I won’t be taken advantage of!”

"These fifteen taels of silver are my son and I's savings over the years. We can't afford to be careless. If they even take a step outside my house and come over to woo my relatives, I'll sell them right away!"

After Widow Zhou finished speaking, she looked at Shui Sanmei and Tian Fugui coldly, with impatient expressions on her face.

Shui Sanmei didn't say a word, just watched Xiuxiu shed tears silently, but Tian Fugui urged and begged the village chief, just to get the money as soon as possible so that he could be safe.

The clan leader did not object. The girls on the left and right were getting married when they got older. The married girl threw water and only other girls could go with her natal family. Xiuxiu no longer had her natal family.

Anyway, in this village, although Widow Zhou is fierce, she is not a ruthless person. She is honest and honest. As long as Xiuxiu is well-behaved, she can always live a good life. It is better than following these careless parents and gambling addicts. My brother is strong.

Just for the fifteen taels of silver, Widow Zhou would not torture Xiu Xiu to death.

But what needs to be said is that as the leader of the Tian clan, whether he is hiring or selling, he must say a few words to warn Widow Zhou, which can also be regarded as supporting Xiuxiu.

There are now thirteen acres left of the fifteen acres of land. The clan leader thought for a moment and then said: "Changxi and Huang Ying will get four acres, Changshou will get four acres, and the remaining five acres will be regarded as your parents' retirement land. Each of them will Two and a half acres.”

"After a hundred years, your parents will return the second acre to the eldest house and live a long life with the old man, and then you will have the third acre."

"Remember, this is the last time! How much money can we put into our thatched hut house?"

After the patriarch finished speaking, he felt discouraged. The descendants were unworthy. To put it nicely, they were selling their land for medical treatment, but they were not paying off their gambling debts to live longer!

The man who is about to be buried can really divorce Shui Sanmei and go home. But he is not selling his own land. He has refused to change despite repeated admonitions and is too lazy to say more.

To be honest, the clan leader's decision can be considered impartial. Even though he knew that Changshou was addicted to gambling, he did not lose money.

The third sister was still not satisfied, she was panting and moaning.

Tian Fugui is very satisfied. He has two acres of land in his name. If he lives a long life and does not change his nature, he will pretend that this son has never been born. He will take his land with him and he will live with the husband and wife together!

He had a good abacus, so naturally he didn't want to offend Chang Xi and Huang Ying, so he helped share the pots and pans together!

Shui Sanmei was so angry that she stumbled into the room. She couldn't drag the quilt, but she threw their clothes out and told them to get out immediately.

Huang Ying's goal was achieved and she didn't want to wait for them to eat and drink in this house. After asking clearly about the location of the allocated fields, she asked Chang Xi to pack up her clothes without further delay and went to the kitchen to unpack the pot and get the bowls.

Together with clothes, bedding, pots and pans, we packed up two items in total.

"You are so rich, I also have some food for the two children at home!"

The patriarch looked unseemly and said hurriedly.

Tian Fugui ignored Shui Sanmei's cursing and went straight to the main house to pack some miscellaneous grains, enough to fill half a sack.

"You two should save some food, we don't have much food at home!"

Huang Ying also knew exactly what was going on at home. Knowing that Tian Fugui was telling the truth, she hurriedly said: "Thank you, dad. Fortunately, it is spring, and there are all kinds of wild vegetables. To deal with it, just harvest wheat. I am the young master." If you eat some, you won’t starve your husband!”

Once everything was packed, Widow Zhou came over with a bag of things, and the village chief came over with two deeds and ink pads.

After the two pairs counted the money with gongs and drums in front of each other, Widow Zhou didn't want to delay. She watched Tian Fugui and Shui Sanmei perform acupressure, carefully put away the two deeds, held Xiu Xiu's hand, and left without looking back. .

Shui Sanmei was holding a package of copper plates, but she didn't say a word. She sat blankly on the bamboo stool, only looking at the direction Xiu Xiu was leaving.

Except for Ren who was comforting her, no one came forward to answer her.

However, Huang Ying and Chang Xi went to the village chief and begged to borrow a house on the mountain to live temporarily.

The house was dilapidated and had no tiles. The village chief did his best and nodded in agreement.

The enthusiastic man liked the weak, and Huang Ying was a brother, so he couldn't get up the mountain with so many things, so a few more people volunteered to send the two of them to the shabby house on the mountain.

After the crowd dispersed, Liu Yu took one last look at the motionless Shui Sanmei, and followed Qi Chunhua back on the road, feeling filled with emotion.

This can be regarded as the retribution of Shui Sanmei. In the past, in order to collect gambling debts for a long life, she abducted Brother Xian from the shabby house.

Now it's gambling debts for longevity, the daughter is sold, the son and the husband insist on dividing the family, but they live there again!

It can be seen that it is impossible to tell when and which way a person will take!
