There is a farmhouse on Mo
Chapter 50
Pay back, pay back, pay back! ! !
Mrs. Xu stared at Shao Yitang and wished she could swallow him in one gulp. Once the money was in her pocket, there was no reason to take it out.
This money must never be returned!Mrs. Xu looked around at the village chief and the villagers, sat down on the ground suddenly, and started howling
"Ah...Old man, look what kind of son you gave birth to, what kind of son-in-law did you find here, today you are going to force me to death, you can go easy, and leave me, a lonely old woman, to suffer!"
While howling, Mrs. Xu pinched Zhang Jinhua's leg. Zhang Jinhua looked down at Mrs. Xu in pain, and saw the other party cast a look. The two of them had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than ten years, and they suddenly understood, and rushed to hug Xu Old lady, let's howl
"Mother, you can't die, what will we do if you die, Liuliu and Jiabao will be filial to you in the future, you can't die!"
"Let me die, let me die..." Mrs. Xu's voice became louder.
"Mother, his eldest brother and brother-in-law are not filial to you, but our second wife is filial to you. We can't force you to death just for that little money!"
With a mournful face, Zhang Jinhua let go of Mrs. Xu, looked at Xu Defu, and continued to cry
"Brother, no matter how wrong mother is, she is still mother. He gave birth to you and raised you. You can't forget these feelings, and you can't forget your origin. Brother, you can't force mother to death!"
"Die, let this unfilial son force my wife to death, and when I get to the ground, Lord Yan will make the decision for me..."
Mrs. Xu yelled more and more vigorously, her high-pitched voice made people's ears hurt, she yelled to let her die, her body still sat on the ground, and she had to look at the faces of the village chief and other people from time to time, filling the yard I heard her and Zhang Jinhua crying...
Crying, making trouble, and hanging himself three times is a classic way for women to play tricks and play tricks, and Mrs. Xu has gained the essence of it. Over the years, in quarrels with others, it is invincible, and it has truly implemented what it means to be shameless. The invincible truth!
Anyway, it is impossible for her to pay back the money, and today she had a quarrel with someone surnamed Shao. There are so many people here, no one surnamed Shao would dare to do anything to her!
Hmph, to fight with the old lady, let Shao go back to the mother's womb to practice for decades.
Hehehe... The old woman is addicted to being a rascal, it is natural for this rascal, it is only natural for her to be a rascal, this old woman is simply a... Well, a very talented person!
This ancient system was rigorous, and the emperor of this dynasty valued filial piety, so he could be regarded as Xu Laoniang's grandson-in-law, even if he was reasonable, he really couldn't do anything to Xu Laoniang.
If he did what he did to Zhou Facai and his wife back then, Mrs. Xu would be reprimanded or imprisoned for a few days, and he would be arrested and hanged.
How to do it? ... Shao Yitang's eyes drifted to Zhou Facai and his wife in the crowd, and his heart moved, and he immediately had a plan.
Mrs. Xu is a scoundrel, right? I can't do it to you, so I can always ask someone to do it!I can find a rogue who is on the same level as you to fight with you!
Ignoring Mrs. Xu and Zhang Jinhua on the ground, Shao Yitang walked up to Zhou Facai and his wife.
"You, what are you doing?" Zhou Facai and his wife stared at Shao Yitang vigilantly, and they had a deep memory of the ruthless appearance of this guy holding a hoe.
I'm not a scourge, do you need to look at me like this?A few black threads appeared on his head, Shao Yitang took out a consistent copper coin from his bosom, stuffed the silver into Zhou Facai's hand with a hugging motion, and then started howling
"Brother Zhou, I heard that you know someone from the yamen. You must help me. Now someone is asking for money from me. You can't ignore it. Last time I drank, you told me that you were covering me in Xiaoxi Village Yes!"
"..."
Shao and Zhou Facai are brothers. Is there any mistake? A few days ago, they were fighting each other with hoes!This relationship developed too fast!
The corners of Li Tiezhu and the villagers' mouths twitched. Seeing Mrs. Xu and Zhang Jinhua, who were no longer crying or howling, they silently closed their mouths and stopped talking.
Zhou Facai and his wife looked at each other, weighed the copper coins in their hands, and immediately understood, no matter what grievances they had before, money is the last word, boy, I will be your big brother from today on!
"Brother Shao, don't worry, the big brother will definitely make the decision for you. There is no reason not to repay the borrowed money!"
Zhou Facai patted Shao Yitang on the shoulder with a smile, and smiled at his mother-in-law. The husband and wife, one fat and one thin, walked towards Mrs. Xu and Zhang Jinhua who were sitting on the ground.
"I said Mrs. Xu, what are you doing sitting on the ground? I'm not talking about you, what happened today, even an outsider like me can't stand it!"
"No, I won't talk about your separation. No one in the village knows about your partiality!"
Aunt Zhu is not afraid of Mrs. Xu, both of them are one of the most vicious shrews in the village. She has been seeing Mrs. Xu for a long time, and when they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. It's time to show their fighting power!
"Mrs. Xu, when Brother Shao married Xu An from your family, you asked for three taels of silver as a dowry gift, tsk tsk, how can you not marry a beautiful daughter-in-law with this three taels of silver? It's really shameless to want to rely on other people's money!"
"Hey, Zhu Daju, you are shameless. He is my grandson-in-law, shouldn't he be filial to me? Asking me to pay back the money is treasonous and he will be arrested and hanged by the government!"
Only a fat woman like Zhu Daju still dares to call her shameless. In the village, Zhu Daju dares to be the second, no one dares to be the first, and she dares to meddle in her old lady's business. She is really impatient.
This week, the wealthy couple also came here to meddle in their own business. Did she really think she was blind, didn't she see that the surnamed Shao gave them money?
"Zhu Daju, old lady, I knew you were shameless, but I saw you today. You are so shameless, so heartless, you should be very light, right? Why do I still look the same, compared to my family? That sow isn't much different?"
"And you, Zhou Facai, you are a coward who dares to take care of my mother's family affairs. How much money did Shao give you just now? You really think my mother is blind, so get the hell out of me..."
Mrs. Xu is really not an ordinary person, she has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but for the sake of money, Zhou Facai and his wife are local hooligans who can disregard their parents' life and death, aren't they just old country women?it's not a big deal!
"Ms. Xu, I think you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin today. It's only natural to pay back the debt. I can tell you that Mr. Shao is my brother. You dare to renege on my brother's money. You really treat me like Zhou." Is it a waste of money to make a fortune in this radius?"
Zhou Facai was originally a hooligan, and what he liked most was to bully the weak and fear the strong. He couldn't be blamed for being cowardly when he met Shao Yitang, because the opponent's force value was too high. Today, when he met Mrs. Xu, an old woman, could he still be afraid?
"Old lady Xu, if you don't pay back your debts, you will be sent to prison. I'm afraid you can't bear the torment at your age!"
"Ah bah bah, Zhou Facai, you dare to threaten my old lady. You were still breastfeeding on your mother when my old lady was out messing around!"
When it comes to repaying the money, Mrs. Xu does not back down in the slightest. It is typical to ask for money without risking her life, not to mention paying back the money.
"Hey, I said you old lady is really shameless, why are you even more shameless than me..."
I've heard for a long time that Xu's old lady is a shrew and shameless, and today I can be regarded as seeing someone who is even more shameless and rascal than Zhou Facai and his wife. I'm afraid that Xu's old lady is the only person in this village!
It seems that this mouth movement is not enough, so I can only do it manually.He still doesn't believe it, even an old woman can't deal with her, so how can she hang out in Xiaoxi Village in the future?
Even if it's not for Shao Yitang's usual copper coins, he still has to save face for himself!
With a look at his wife, Zhou Facai picked up the hatchet that Xu Defu had thrown away on the ground, and slammed it on the wooden table next to him for writing documents, making a muffled "bang".
"Old lady Xu, there is a rule in this way. If you don't pay back the money, you can use your hands and feet to pay off the debt. Do you want hands or feet?"
The villagers stared at Zhou Facai's ruthless appearance, Qiqi took a step back and did not dare to speak, everyone was an ordinary farmer in the countryside, they had never seen such a knife wielder, gods fight, mortals suffer, only Xu Lao Niang and Zhou Facai couple Respect the God of Plague, no one wants to get involved.
Anyway, it's someone else's family business, it's nothing to do with yourself, just hang it up high, um, let's concentrate on watching the fun~!
Mrs. Xu stared at the hatchet on the table and her heart skipped a beat. The knife was all exposed. She was not afraid that it must be a fake, but if she asked her to pay back the money, it would be 15 taels of silver. How could she be willing to...
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and said resolutely.
"If you don't have any silver, whoever wants the hands and feet will take it!"
"..."
Everyone falls...
☆, 51. Finally divided
Mrs. Xu is a fairy-level talent, and she wants money but not her life. Zhou Facai stared at Mrs. Xu with a resolute face opposite him, speechless!
Although Zhou Facai is a local ruffian, he usually only dares to be majestic in the village. He still doesn't have the guts to kill people with a knife...
"Come on, cut it off, don't you want me to pay back the money? Come and cut off my mother's hands and feet!"
Mrs. Xu glanced at Shao Yitang proudly, hum, even Zhou Facai and his wife dared to confront her, the surname Shao, you have found the wrong person.She had already guessed that Zhou Facai had no guts!
"Zhou Facai, today you really cut off my mother's hands and feet to pay off the debts of your bastard brother. My mother will thank you, thank you uncle, thank your whole family, and thank your eighteen generations of ancestors!"
"Mrs. Xu, what are you talking about?" Li Tiezhu slapped the table. He and Zhou Facai are related...
"I didn't say anything..." Mrs. Xu woke up suddenly and shut up quickly. Although the village chief didn't dare to do anything to her, but her family wanted to live in the village, and many places depended on the village chief. Can not be offended.
"Village chief, old lady, I said that they paid back the money with hands and feet. They didn't want it themselves. Now, let's talk about the separation of the family!"
Mrs. Xu stared at Li Tiezhu with a flattering smile. She would not pay back the money surnamed Shao. Today, since the eldest is going to separate the family, let's divide it. Anyway, the eldest family is also a burden now, and staying at home is also a waste of food.
"I have agreed on the division of the family. The eldest brother will definitely take out the 30 taels of medicine money owed to the family, but don't say that the old woman is perfect. I will divide the two acres of land from the eldest brother, and the money will not be divided. Others It's all used to repay the debt!"
"Also, you were raised by me, even if you are separated, you will still have to pay tribute to me every year in the future..."
"Mother, are you trying to force me to death? Is the son your own? You want to force me like this..." Xu Defu's eyes were red with anger, and the resentment in his heart reached the extreme.
"..."
Mrs. Xu turned her head to the side without saying a word, and said in her heart, you were not born by my mother in the first place, you are a scoundrel. It is considered kind of my mother to have raised you for so many years. Now that the family is separated, I still want to divide my son's things. It's a dream!
"Why am I forcing you? I am your mother. If you are an unfilial son, if you join forces with an outsider to bully my mother, you will not be afraid of being punished by God. Isn't that Shao rich? You are his father-in-law, so how can he ignore you? "
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xu glanced at Shao Yitang again, and suddenly remembered the 15 taels of IOU just now, rolled her eyes, and said again
"Shao, your father-in-law owes so much money to the family. Since he can't get it out, you can pay it back for your father-in-law. Don't think I'm unreasonable. I don't want you to take out the money. Give the IOU to you." I tore it up, forget it!"
"..."
I should be slaughtered if I deserve it. Labor and management are really convinced. It’s only natural to renege on debts and be eccentric. People say that country people are simple and simple. Why didn’t I see half of you?
Compared with Mrs. Xu, Zhou Facai and his wife are so pure, they are not in the same class, they are dead anyway...
"Ah bah, Mrs. Xu, can you be more shameless? Others don't know, but I, Zhu Daju, know about your Xu family!"
Aunt Zhu glanced at Shao Yitang, afraid that the money in her hand would fly away, she wanted to help Shao Yitang deal with Mrs. Xu, it was time for her to play a role.
"You shameless old man, it's better to ask Boss Xu to respect you, and his brother-in-law to respect you. Boss Xu was not born by you. Why! Boss Xu treats you as filial as his own mother. This kind of love, you can't force him to die..."
"I heard from my mother-in-law that Mr. Xu had a relationship with a widow in the village. This eldest brother Xu is the child born by the widow for your father-in-law. Otherwise, the same is your son. Why do you prefer the second wife?"
This is not a matter of Aunt Zhu's nonsense, it is a matter of the Xu family, but her mother-in-law, that is, Zhou Facai's mother, revealed it at home before she passed away.
The young people in the village don't know about this, but the older generation knows it well, but Mrs. Xu was a victim back then. Even if she was mean to the boss of the Xu family, everyone turned a blind eye to it. What happened to Xu Defu's biological mother who robbed him of his husband?
Li Tiezhu, who was sitting in the top position, secretly scolded Aunt Zhu for being troublesome. This is a scandal in the village, and it cannot be spread. Otherwise, why did the old village chief try so hard to conceal the matter, but now it is all in vain to be stabbed by Aunt Zhu like this.
This Xu old lady is also true, the grievances of the previous generation are over, why vent your anger on a junior, it’s fine to treat the eldest family of Xu’s family badly, but now she wants to kill other people’s sons, and divide the family. People are forced to die...
Li Tiezhu glanced at Mrs. Xu, and spoke
"Let's not talk about the past, and now no one has much to say, I'll share it with you, and if anyone has an opinion, move out of Xiaoxi Village for me."
"Six acres of land, two houses for people, one house for three acres. The house in the family is also divided into two houses for the boss, and the grain harvested a year ago must also be divided. As for the money..."
Before Li Tiezhu could say anything, Mrs. Xu screamed, looked at Li Tiezhu's changed face, and said with a guilty conscience, "The money can't be divided. The family bought medicine for the boss. I spent a lot of money. I just don't want him. But we can't divide him..."
How much is the money going to be distributed?How many years does the boss have to be filial to her before she can get back her money, and she can't give money!
"Okay, then follow what you said, no money will be divided, but from now on the boss will not have to honor your money, and will only give filial rations during the Chinese New Year!"
Li Tiezhu pondered, it's good that Mrs. Xu is willing to take a step back, I can only wrong the boss of the Xu family, otherwise the matter of the Xu family can't be solved today.
Wouldn't it be cheaper for Mrs. Xu not to divide the money? No, absolutely not. Shao Yitang hated Mrs. Xu deeply. He had been tricked by this old woman so many times, so he couldn't take advantage of this old woman any more.
You can't be polite to someone like Mrs. Xu.And this village chief, what kind of family does he belong to? He is obviously partial to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu is not easy to bully, but his father-in-law and him are easy to bully?
"Village chief, no, Mrs. Xu is not my father-in-law's biological mother, why should my father-in-law respect her every year..."
For the first time, Li Tiezhu felt that the outsider surnamed Shao was so annoying. Seeing that the matter was about to be resolved, he came to intervene. Mrs. Xu is not easy to mess with. If he wants to be clean, he has to wrong the boss of the Xu family, otherwise the matter cannot be resolved. Yes, there must always be someone who suffers, right?
"Nursing grace is greater than life's grace. Boss Xu was raised by Mrs. Xu, so we should honor her!"
"Well, even if that's the case, the family division can't be done as you said, that's not fair!"
"Then how do you divide?" The village head's tone was not very good.
"It's very simple, split equally. Isn't the Xu family just two brothers? The land, house, food, and money are all equally divided!" Shao Yitang pretended not to see the village head's face, and continued.
"There is also my money, I have to pay it back, first pay back my money, and then they will separate! I have the IOU they borrowed money from! There is a picture of Mrs. Xu on it..."
"Impossible!" Mrs. Xu and Zhang Jinhua roared at the same time, split equally?Return money?Think beautifully! "Your surname is Shao, the silver is going to your father-in-law. It is also impossible for me to share half of the Xu family's property with the boss."
Not paying back?Let's go to the government, anyway, he has an IOU in his hand, Mrs. Xu can't afford it, Shao Yitang sneered.
"Village chief, you heard me, Mrs. Xu won't pay back the money, and she doesn't agree with the method of dividing the family you mentioned just now. Since you can't solve the matter even the village chief, let's go to the government and let the county master decide." .”
"Shut up!" Li Tiezhu yelled angrily while clenching his fists. When he got to the government, all the scandals of Xiaoxi Village would be exposed. He must not go to the government!
"Mrs. Xu, since you wrote the IOU at the beginning, you can give the silver to the surname Shao. As for the division of the family, follow what I just said, give the boss three acres of land, two houses, half of the grain, and no money. From now on, the boss will only be filial to your ration every year!"
"village head……"
"Bang" Li Tiezhu slapped the table and roared. "That's the deal. If anyone disagrees, get the hell out of Xiaoxi Village!"
"I agree!"
Shao Yitang rubbed his nose, and smiled provocatively at Mrs. Xu, who was so angry that she wanted to rush over to give him two slaps, but because the village chief was angry, in order not to be kicked out of the village, Mrs. Xu could only shed blood and tears promise.
"... just pay it back!"
Mrs. Xu is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of being kicked out of the place where the village chief has no place.
Shao is really a villain, her money...
☆、52.
Witnessed by the village head and the whole village, Mrs. Xu took out 15 taels of silver and returned it to Shao Yitang. Shao Yitang also tore up the IOU in front of everyone. The teeth are almost gnawed.
Then the village chief presided over the family separation ceremony for the Xu family, separating the household registrations of the two families, and then the house deeds, land deeds and the family's food, all of which were divided.
Xu Defu, who originally regretted killing his mother with a knife because of filial piety, disappeared without a trace after Aunt Zhu broke the Xu family's past.
Thinking of Mrs. Xu's harsh treatment of him and his wife and children over the years, the resentment in my heart cannot be increased, but after all, Mrs. Xu still has the kindness to raise him. Even if Mrs. Xu treats him badly, he would not be able to live without Mrs. Xu Growing up, there is no doubt about it.
Birth is not as good as nurturing, now that the family is being divided unfairly, Xu Defu only treats it as a repayment of Xu's old mother's kindness, and in the future, he will send the filial food every year, and they will have nothing to do with each other again!
The last sliver of affection for Mrs. Xu in my heart also disappeared after Mrs. Xu's unfair separation...
The village chief wrote the documents in duplicate and handed them over to Mrs. Xu and Xu Defu, then took the villagers and left Xu's house. He didn't want to see Xu's family and the outsider named Shao at all now!
Zhou Facai and his wife walked at the end, and they ran to Shao Yitang with a smile on their faces.
"Brother Shao, that, this...that money..."
money?Shao Yitang stared at the smiling faces of the two men and suddenly understood that today he took out all the money in Mrs. Xu's hand, thanks to Aunt Zhu for revealing the secret. With Mrs. Xu's comparison, now he sees Zhou Facai and his wife , I really think... these two couples are so cute and pure!
"What money is not money, what are you talking about, what kind of money, I don't know!"
"..." Zhou Facai was taken aback for a moment, glanced at his wife, and immediately understood, he quickly covered the coins in his arms and smiled at Shao Yitang
"Brother Shao heard it wrong. Brother, I meant that we had a drink the day before yesterday. Don't you want to ask you to be my brother and have a drink at my house! No money, no money, just come empty-handed when the time comes, what are we brothers talking about... ..."
Aunt Zhu also pulled Zhou Facai and smiled brightly at Shao Yitang. The fat on her face was piled up together, but she couldn't see whether her eyes were closed or open.
"That's right, Shao Xianggong will come to my house instead, and my aunt will cook something delicious for you!"
"Thank you in advance, I'll take you out!"
It seems that there is such a thing, Shao Yitang shook his head, these two couples are really real, they are open to money!
After sending Zhou Facai and his wife out of Xu's house, Shao Yitang came back again, met Mrs. Xu and the couple who were still standing in the yard with a bad face, parted her mouth and showed a hearty smile, and then ran to his father-in-law's house in the west wing in.
The Xu family has separated, and no matter how much the second room and Mrs. Xu dance around, they don't care about his affairs with Xu An's parents. I am in a good mood!
"Damn Shao, it's all him..." The resentment and distress in Zhang Jinhua's heart are no less than that of Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu's money is her second wife's money!
"say no more!"
Xu Degui scolded, although it is true that the 15 taels of silver should be returned to Shao Yitang, but if it is really taken out, who wouldn't feel bad about it?
Who would be willing to spend all the money that his elder brother had contributed to the family for so many years now?But no matter how unwilling they were, they still swallowed this loss.
"This year the imperial court's rural examination has been postponed, and Jiabao's examination is about to take place. If something like this happens in the family, it will definitely have an impact. If he is driven out of the village or made trouble with the government, then Jiabao's official career will be over, and the Zhao family will not get along with him. It was married to a family who was kicked out of the village."
"This..." Zhang Jinhua paused.
"Okay, just listen to the second child. Don't tell Jiabao and Liu Liu about this, let them stay in the town with peace of mind. From now on, the family will depend on their siblings. Second child, help your mother go back to the house to rest. Mother is tired!"
Mrs. Xu stared at the door of the west wing for a while, and when she heard Xu Degui's words, she panicked. Fortunately, the family's money was not distributed, and they have saved a lot over the years, or it would be really cheap, boss!
Anyway, the time is still long, and I will slowly look for opportunities to get back the money I took out today, so as not to affect the future of the two children, she is still waiting to become an official old lady!
I really didn't expect that after hunting geese all day long, I was pecked by geese, and today I fell into the hands of Shao!
When Shao Yitang entered the west wing room, he saw Xu Defu and Yunniang sitting on the chairs tiredly, their faces were both relaxed and worried.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, your health is not good, don't think too much, it will hurt your health..."
"Hey, we know, you kid is really right, today it's all up to you..."
Xu Defu sighed. If there are many people surnamed Shao today, they probably won't get anything other than two acres of land. After the division, they will all depend on him. It was fine before, he still has strength, but now Yunniang is pregnant, and his health is just a little bit better, so he can't live on two acres of land alone.
"You're welcome..." Shao Yitang smiled, took out the 15 taels of silver returned by Mrs. Xu and handed it to Xu Defu
"Father-in-law, don't refuse. This is what you deserve. When I bought the medicine, I was supposed to show respect to you two elders. Now that the Xu family has split up, and the mother-in-law is pregnant again, what can I do if I don't have any money, just accept it!"
In fact, Shao Yitang insisted that Mrs. Xu spit out the 15 taels of silver because she was thinking of Xu Defu and Yunniang. He didn't even think about taking it back when he borrowed the money. How do you live without money?
"Just treat An An and I as filial to you, mother-in-law, you don't want An An to worry about you!"
If An'an, his family, knew about the situation of Xu Defu and Yunniang, would he be able to live with him with peace of mind? He must be thinking about the two elders in his heart, if they don't eat well and sleep well.This daughter-in-law is not well, so naturally he is also not well.
"Good good..."
Yunniang wiped her tears and nodded to Xu Defu, Shao Yitang helped them too much, the couple didn't want to trouble Shao Yitang anymore, but now they are really short of money, just to care about face, this money really has to be collected.
Go back and tell the head of the family that if you make money, you will return it to the surname Shao. You can't always owe him, let alone accept the money as you should because of An Geer's relationship.
"That's how it is. I won't bother the second elder. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Shao Yitang nodded, greeted the elders and left Xu's house. This group of Xu Defu and Yunniang were just helping him. He can only be happy when his An'an is happy. Besides, these two couples have good conduct, and he is willing to help!
As soon as he walked out of Xu's house, a figure rushed towards him. Shao Yitang looked down, and it really was An'an from his family!
"An'an, did you have a good time today? Did you miss me?"
"Brother Shao, I know everything, thank you..."
Xu An, who came back from the temple, heard the news as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen at home in just one day.
He had heard from Brother Xiaohu's mother that when the Xu family separated today, if it wasn't for Brother Shao, his parents would have been bullied to death by his grandmother!
No matter what happened, Brother Shao helped to solve it, and it hurt him to the bone, and his heart was sour and sweet.
"You're being polite to me again, really..." Shao Yitang pinched Xu An's cheek helplessly
"Let's go back first. Xu's family is too messy today. Let's see my parents another day, okay?"
"kindness……"
Xu An nodded obediently. He knew the situation of the Xu family and his parents. He knew that his parents were fine, so he was naturally relieved. On the contrary, Brother Shao dared to quarrel with his grandma today and even won. What a shame! so amazing!
He decided that he would do something for his brother Shao!
"Brother Shao, let me go home and cook!"
"Okay... what, you cook? Well, An An, let me do it, how tiring cooking is!"
"Not tired, let me do it today, you must finish eating!"
"..."
finished eating! ! ! !
☆, 53. The follow-up to the curtain
The matter of Xu's family has been circulated in the village for a long time. Whether it is Mrs. Xu or the separated Xu Defu, even Shao Yitang and Xu An have been criticized and become the target of gossip by the villagers.
Especially the villagers who witnessed the separation of the Xu family at the time, talked about the situation one by one, as if they had witnessed the emperor's ascension to the throne, which was worth showing off.
For several days in a row, Shao Yitang couldn't help but think, there are so many people in this world who are full and have nothing to do but care about other people's shit and fart!
But no matter what everyone said or talked about, the Xu family was separated, and no matter how they lived, they couldn't get along with other people. It was nothing more than an after-dinner conversation in the village.
On the second day after the Xu family separated, Shao Yitang came to the door again, bringing along the mason who helped him build the house.
"Shao, you black-hearted wild man, what are you doing at my house again?"
When Shao Yitang came to the door, Zhang Jinhua was washing clothes at home. Because of the incident on the day the family separated, she didn't dare to go out in the past two days, for fear of being caught and commented on.
Isn't it out of anger, the loss of 15 taels of silver and the family property distributed to the boss of the Xu family were all caused by this surname Shao!
"I didn't see it, I'm going to my father-in-law's house!"
Shao Yitang smiled at Zhang Jinhua, not angry at all, pointed to the courtyard in the west wing, and shrugged his shoulders.
"Hmph, a bunch of bastards..."
Now Zhang Jinhua couldn't show any kindness towards Dafang and Shao Yitang, so she snorted coldly and entered the room with the basin in her hand, and got angry when she saw Shao~!
"..."
Shao Yitang, who had been scolded by Zhang Jinhua again for no reason, shook his head, he really wasn't a family, if he didn't enter a family, Zhang Jinhua hated him as much as Mrs. Xu!
Since you hate my surname Shao so much, then I will make you hate me even more. With a sinister smile on his face, Shao Yitang turned around and yelled at the masonry tools behind him.
"Bring things in. From here, build a wall to separate Xu's courtyard, and then open another door in and out of the west wing courtyard over there!"
Since the Xu family is separated, let's just divide the house thoroughly. Divide the house into two halves. From now on, Xu Defu and Mrs. Xu will be completely two families. He doesn't mind coming up with some bad ideas if he can add trouble to Mrs. Xu...
Seeing that the masons had already started to build the wall, Shao Yitang nodded in satisfaction, turned around and went into the yard of the west wing to find his father-in-law. He hadn't told the two elders about this, and now he had to say hello. The most effective method for the purpose! !
As expected, Xu Defu and his wife did not agree, but the walls in the yard have already been built, and the matter has come to this point, and the two of them have no choice but to accept it. , and Mrs. Xu, they no longer have to look up and look down.
Shao Yitang helped Xu Defu and his wife to separate a wall and a door, but the old woman Xu who came back from the outside was so angry that she almost didn't recover, and went to him with a broom on the spot to settle the score.
For Mrs. Xu's reaction, Shao Yitang had expected it. Before going to Xu's house, he called Zhou Facai and his wife to the door, and asked the two to stop Mrs. Xu who came to the door halfway. Let Zhou Facai come to help at home.
Of course, Zhou Facai and his wife would not refuse something to earn money. Aren't they just stopping Mrs. Xu?Trifle!
The husband and wife immediately got ready to go and ran to the road to wait for Mrs. Xu, and then saw Mrs. Xu coming to Shao's house aggressively with a broom, jumped out to stop them without thinking, and then started a verbal fight, attracting a group of onlookers of the villagers...
Although Mrs. Xu is powerful, Zhou Facai and his wife are not vegetarians. As the saying goes, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.
Since Sapo couldn't win against Mrs. Xu, the two simply played a rogue, relying on Mrs. Xu's strength and weakness, just to block people from passing.
Mrs. Xu is old after all, such a physical exhaustion can't be compared to the two young Zhou Facai and his wife. It was not until dark that they finally couldn't hold on anymore, so they dragged their tired body back to Xu's house, and she was so angry that she lay on the bed. I lay there for several days without going out.
Shao Yitang was very satisfied when he heard the news, and asked Zhou Facai to help him at his house the next day. He turned a blind eye to Zhou Facai's laziness in work, and paid him fifteen Wen a day as a support. A helper to deal with Mrs. Xu.
Facts have proved that the role of Zhou Facai and his wife is still huge. In order to please the benefactor Shao Yitang, every time the couple sees Mrs. Xu in the village, they must go up and do it. Every now and then, Mrs. Xu will lie on the bed for a few days, never They didn't have the energy to trouble Shao Yitang and Xu Defu and his wife, so they were much quieter.
Mrs. Xu didn't have the energy to harass Shao Yitang and Xu Defu, and the second wife of the Xu family didn't even have the energy.
This year, the imperial court's provincial examination was postponed, and the exam will start in May. Since Xu Jiabao returned home and started preparing for the exam, everyone in the Xu family's second room has been busy for Xu Jiabao. They are all looking forward to Xu Jiabao's high school. It will become detached, in this ancient times where everything is low-grade and only high-study is high, if a famous scholar comes out of the family, that is a matter of glory to the ancestors!
Even Xu Liuliu, who has been embroidering in the town all year round and not caring about family affairs, has returned to Xu's house and is actively helping her parents with her younger brother's affairs. As long as her younger brother becomes a scholar, her status will be different.
Although the eldest son of the Zhao family has taken a fancy to her now, it is not enough for her to marry the Zhao family as a regular wife. She does not want to stay in the village and be a country woman for the rest of her life. With her beauty, she should be that It is the young lady who enjoys happiness.
She had heard about the affairs of the family in the town, and secretly hated the family for not stopping. If the Zhao family found out, it would have an impact on her future marriage. I really hate God for giving her a beautiful face. But gave her such a family.
As long as my younger brother can pass the examination of scholar this time, he can stand up. Thinking of this, Xu Liuliu walked gracefully into Xu Jiabao's room with the sweet soup he cooked himself.
Regardless of the Xu family's affairs, Shao Yitang's ears have been quieter recently, and the new house is almost finished, at most one can be completed, and they can move in in June.
The corn and grapes in the field are also growing well. Shao Yitang feels an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart when he goes up to the mountain to take care of them every day
Mrs. Xu stared at Shao Yitang and wished she could swallow him in one gulp. Once the money was in her pocket, there was no reason to take it out.
This money must never be returned!Mrs. Xu looked around at the village chief and the villagers, sat down on the ground suddenly, and started howling
"Ah...Old man, look what kind of son you gave birth to, what kind of son-in-law did you find here, today you are going to force me to death, you can go easy, and leave me, a lonely old woman, to suffer!"
While howling, Mrs. Xu pinched Zhang Jinhua's leg. Zhang Jinhua looked down at Mrs. Xu in pain, and saw the other party cast a look. The two of them had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than ten years, and they suddenly understood, and rushed to hug Xu Old lady, let's howl
"Mother, you can't die, what will we do if you die, Liuliu and Jiabao will be filial to you in the future, you can't die!"
"Let me die, let me die..." Mrs. Xu's voice became louder.
"Mother, his eldest brother and brother-in-law are not filial to you, but our second wife is filial to you. We can't force you to death just for that little money!"
With a mournful face, Zhang Jinhua let go of Mrs. Xu, looked at Xu Defu, and continued to cry
"Brother, no matter how wrong mother is, she is still mother. He gave birth to you and raised you. You can't forget these feelings, and you can't forget your origin. Brother, you can't force mother to death!"
"Die, let this unfilial son force my wife to death, and when I get to the ground, Lord Yan will make the decision for me..."
Mrs. Xu yelled more and more vigorously, her high-pitched voice made people's ears hurt, she yelled to let her die, her body still sat on the ground, and she had to look at the faces of the village chief and other people from time to time, filling the yard I heard her and Zhang Jinhua crying...
Crying, making trouble, and hanging himself three times is a classic way for women to play tricks and play tricks, and Mrs. Xu has gained the essence of it. Over the years, in quarrels with others, it is invincible, and it has truly implemented what it means to be shameless. The invincible truth!
Anyway, it is impossible for her to pay back the money, and today she had a quarrel with someone surnamed Shao. There are so many people here, no one surnamed Shao would dare to do anything to her!
Hmph, to fight with the old lady, let Shao go back to the mother's womb to practice for decades.
Hehehe... The old woman is addicted to being a rascal, it is natural for this rascal, it is only natural for her to be a rascal, this old woman is simply a... Well, a very talented person!
This ancient system was rigorous, and the emperor of this dynasty valued filial piety, so he could be regarded as Xu Laoniang's grandson-in-law, even if he was reasonable, he really couldn't do anything to Xu Laoniang.
If he did what he did to Zhou Facai and his wife back then, Mrs. Xu would be reprimanded or imprisoned for a few days, and he would be arrested and hanged.
How to do it? ... Shao Yitang's eyes drifted to Zhou Facai and his wife in the crowd, and his heart moved, and he immediately had a plan.
Mrs. Xu is a scoundrel, right? I can't do it to you, so I can always ask someone to do it!I can find a rogue who is on the same level as you to fight with you!
Ignoring Mrs. Xu and Zhang Jinhua on the ground, Shao Yitang walked up to Zhou Facai and his wife.
"You, what are you doing?" Zhou Facai and his wife stared at Shao Yitang vigilantly, and they had a deep memory of the ruthless appearance of this guy holding a hoe.
I'm not a scourge, do you need to look at me like this?A few black threads appeared on his head, Shao Yitang took out a consistent copper coin from his bosom, stuffed the silver into Zhou Facai's hand with a hugging motion, and then started howling
"Brother Zhou, I heard that you know someone from the yamen. You must help me. Now someone is asking for money from me. You can't ignore it. Last time I drank, you told me that you were covering me in Xiaoxi Village Yes!"
"..."
Shao and Zhou Facai are brothers. Is there any mistake? A few days ago, they were fighting each other with hoes!This relationship developed too fast!
The corners of Li Tiezhu and the villagers' mouths twitched. Seeing Mrs. Xu and Zhang Jinhua, who were no longer crying or howling, they silently closed their mouths and stopped talking.
Zhou Facai and his wife looked at each other, weighed the copper coins in their hands, and immediately understood, no matter what grievances they had before, money is the last word, boy, I will be your big brother from today on!
"Brother Shao, don't worry, the big brother will definitely make the decision for you. There is no reason not to repay the borrowed money!"
Zhou Facai patted Shao Yitang on the shoulder with a smile, and smiled at his mother-in-law. The husband and wife, one fat and one thin, walked towards Mrs. Xu and Zhang Jinhua who were sitting on the ground.
"I said Mrs. Xu, what are you doing sitting on the ground? I'm not talking about you, what happened today, even an outsider like me can't stand it!"
"No, I won't talk about your separation. No one in the village knows about your partiality!"
Aunt Zhu is not afraid of Mrs. Xu, both of them are one of the most vicious shrews in the village. She has been seeing Mrs. Xu for a long time, and when they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. It's time to show their fighting power!
"Mrs. Xu, when Brother Shao married Xu An from your family, you asked for three taels of silver as a dowry gift, tsk tsk, how can you not marry a beautiful daughter-in-law with this three taels of silver? It's really shameless to want to rely on other people's money!"
"Hey, Zhu Daju, you are shameless. He is my grandson-in-law, shouldn't he be filial to me? Asking me to pay back the money is treasonous and he will be arrested and hanged by the government!"
Only a fat woman like Zhu Daju still dares to call her shameless. In the village, Zhu Daju dares to be the second, no one dares to be the first, and she dares to meddle in her old lady's business. She is really impatient.
This week, the wealthy couple also came here to meddle in their own business. Did she really think she was blind, didn't she see that the surnamed Shao gave them money?
"Zhu Daju, old lady, I knew you were shameless, but I saw you today. You are so shameless, so heartless, you should be very light, right? Why do I still look the same, compared to my family? That sow isn't much different?"
"And you, Zhou Facai, you are a coward who dares to take care of my mother's family affairs. How much money did Shao give you just now? You really think my mother is blind, so get the hell out of me..."
Mrs. Xu is really not an ordinary person, she has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but for the sake of money, Zhou Facai and his wife are local hooligans who can disregard their parents' life and death, aren't they just old country women?it's not a big deal!
"Ms. Xu, I think you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin today. It's only natural to pay back the debt. I can tell you that Mr. Shao is my brother. You dare to renege on my brother's money. You really treat me like Zhou." Is it a waste of money to make a fortune in this radius?"
Zhou Facai was originally a hooligan, and what he liked most was to bully the weak and fear the strong. He couldn't be blamed for being cowardly when he met Shao Yitang, because the opponent's force value was too high. Today, when he met Mrs. Xu, an old woman, could he still be afraid?
"Old lady Xu, if you don't pay back your debts, you will be sent to prison. I'm afraid you can't bear the torment at your age!"
"Ah bah bah, Zhou Facai, you dare to threaten my old lady. You were still breastfeeding on your mother when my old lady was out messing around!"
When it comes to repaying the money, Mrs. Xu does not back down in the slightest. It is typical to ask for money without risking her life, not to mention paying back the money.
"Hey, I said you old lady is really shameless, why are you even more shameless than me..."
I've heard for a long time that Xu's old lady is a shrew and shameless, and today I can be regarded as seeing someone who is even more shameless and rascal than Zhou Facai and his wife. I'm afraid that Xu's old lady is the only person in this village!
It seems that this mouth movement is not enough, so I can only do it manually.He still doesn't believe it, even an old woman can't deal with her, so how can she hang out in Xiaoxi Village in the future?
Even if it's not for Shao Yitang's usual copper coins, he still has to save face for himself!
With a look at his wife, Zhou Facai picked up the hatchet that Xu Defu had thrown away on the ground, and slammed it on the wooden table next to him for writing documents, making a muffled "bang".
"Old lady Xu, there is a rule in this way. If you don't pay back the money, you can use your hands and feet to pay off the debt. Do you want hands or feet?"
The villagers stared at Zhou Facai's ruthless appearance, Qiqi took a step back and did not dare to speak, everyone was an ordinary farmer in the countryside, they had never seen such a knife wielder, gods fight, mortals suffer, only Xu Lao Niang and Zhou Facai couple Respect the God of Plague, no one wants to get involved.
Anyway, it's someone else's family business, it's nothing to do with yourself, just hang it up high, um, let's concentrate on watching the fun~!
Mrs. Xu stared at the hatchet on the table and her heart skipped a beat. The knife was all exposed. She was not afraid that it must be a fake, but if she asked her to pay back the money, it would be 15 taels of silver. How could she be willing to...
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and said resolutely.
"If you don't have any silver, whoever wants the hands and feet will take it!"
"..."
Everyone falls...
☆, 51. Finally divided
Mrs. Xu is a fairy-level talent, and she wants money but not her life. Zhou Facai stared at Mrs. Xu with a resolute face opposite him, speechless!
Although Zhou Facai is a local ruffian, he usually only dares to be majestic in the village. He still doesn't have the guts to kill people with a knife...
"Come on, cut it off, don't you want me to pay back the money? Come and cut off my mother's hands and feet!"
Mrs. Xu glanced at Shao Yitang proudly, hum, even Zhou Facai and his wife dared to confront her, the surname Shao, you have found the wrong person.She had already guessed that Zhou Facai had no guts!
"Zhou Facai, today you really cut off my mother's hands and feet to pay off the debts of your bastard brother. My mother will thank you, thank you uncle, thank your whole family, and thank your eighteen generations of ancestors!"
"Mrs. Xu, what are you talking about?" Li Tiezhu slapped the table. He and Zhou Facai are related...
"I didn't say anything..." Mrs. Xu woke up suddenly and shut up quickly. Although the village chief didn't dare to do anything to her, but her family wanted to live in the village, and many places depended on the village chief. Can not be offended.
"Village chief, old lady, I said that they paid back the money with hands and feet. They didn't want it themselves. Now, let's talk about the separation of the family!"
Mrs. Xu stared at Li Tiezhu with a flattering smile. She would not pay back the money surnamed Shao. Today, since the eldest is going to separate the family, let's divide it. Anyway, the eldest family is also a burden now, and staying at home is also a waste of food.
"I have agreed on the division of the family. The eldest brother will definitely take out the 30 taels of medicine money owed to the family, but don't say that the old woman is perfect. I will divide the two acres of land from the eldest brother, and the money will not be divided. Others It's all used to repay the debt!"
"Also, you were raised by me, even if you are separated, you will still have to pay tribute to me every year in the future..."
"Mother, are you trying to force me to death? Is the son your own? You want to force me like this..." Xu Defu's eyes were red with anger, and the resentment in his heart reached the extreme.
"..."
Mrs. Xu turned her head to the side without saying a word, and said in her heart, you were not born by my mother in the first place, you are a scoundrel. It is considered kind of my mother to have raised you for so many years. Now that the family is separated, I still want to divide my son's things. It's a dream!
"Why am I forcing you? I am your mother. If you are an unfilial son, if you join forces with an outsider to bully my mother, you will not be afraid of being punished by God. Isn't that Shao rich? You are his father-in-law, so how can he ignore you? "
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xu glanced at Shao Yitang again, and suddenly remembered the 15 taels of IOU just now, rolled her eyes, and said again
"Shao, your father-in-law owes so much money to the family. Since he can't get it out, you can pay it back for your father-in-law. Don't think I'm unreasonable. I don't want you to take out the money. Give the IOU to you." I tore it up, forget it!"
"..."
I should be slaughtered if I deserve it. Labor and management are really convinced. It’s only natural to renege on debts and be eccentric. People say that country people are simple and simple. Why didn’t I see half of you?
Compared with Mrs. Xu, Zhou Facai and his wife are so pure, they are not in the same class, they are dead anyway...
"Ah bah, Mrs. Xu, can you be more shameless? Others don't know, but I, Zhu Daju, know about your Xu family!"
Aunt Zhu glanced at Shao Yitang, afraid that the money in her hand would fly away, she wanted to help Shao Yitang deal with Mrs. Xu, it was time for her to play a role.
"You shameless old man, it's better to ask Boss Xu to respect you, and his brother-in-law to respect you. Boss Xu was not born by you. Why! Boss Xu treats you as filial as his own mother. This kind of love, you can't force him to die..."
"I heard from my mother-in-law that Mr. Xu had a relationship with a widow in the village. This eldest brother Xu is the child born by the widow for your father-in-law. Otherwise, the same is your son. Why do you prefer the second wife?"
This is not a matter of Aunt Zhu's nonsense, it is a matter of the Xu family, but her mother-in-law, that is, Zhou Facai's mother, revealed it at home before she passed away.
The young people in the village don't know about this, but the older generation knows it well, but Mrs. Xu was a victim back then. Even if she was mean to the boss of the Xu family, everyone turned a blind eye to it. What happened to Xu Defu's biological mother who robbed him of his husband?
Li Tiezhu, who was sitting in the top position, secretly scolded Aunt Zhu for being troublesome. This is a scandal in the village, and it cannot be spread. Otherwise, why did the old village chief try so hard to conceal the matter, but now it is all in vain to be stabbed by Aunt Zhu like this.
This Xu old lady is also true, the grievances of the previous generation are over, why vent your anger on a junior, it’s fine to treat the eldest family of Xu’s family badly, but now she wants to kill other people’s sons, and divide the family. People are forced to die...
Li Tiezhu glanced at Mrs. Xu, and spoke
"Let's not talk about the past, and now no one has much to say, I'll share it with you, and if anyone has an opinion, move out of Xiaoxi Village for me."
"Six acres of land, two houses for people, one house for three acres. The house in the family is also divided into two houses for the boss, and the grain harvested a year ago must also be divided. As for the money..."
Before Li Tiezhu could say anything, Mrs. Xu screamed, looked at Li Tiezhu's changed face, and said with a guilty conscience, "The money can't be divided. The family bought medicine for the boss. I spent a lot of money. I just don't want him. But we can't divide him..."
How much is the money going to be distributed?How many years does the boss have to be filial to her before she can get back her money, and she can't give money!
"Okay, then follow what you said, no money will be divided, but from now on the boss will not have to honor your money, and will only give filial rations during the Chinese New Year!"
Li Tiezhu pondered, it's good that Mrs. Xu is willing to take a step back, I can only wrong the boss of the Xu family, otherwise the matter of the Xu family can't be solved today.
Wouldn't it be cheaper for Mrs. Xu not to divide the money? No, absolutely not. Shao Yitang hated Mrs. Xu deeply. He had been tricked by this old woman so many times, so he couldn't take advantage of this old woman any more.
You can't be polite to someone like Mrs. Xu.And this village chief, what kind of family does he belong to? He is obviously partial to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu is not easy to bully, but his father-in-law and him are easy to bully?
"Village chief, no, Mrs. Xu is not my father-in-law's biological mother, why should my father-in-law respect her every year..."
For the first time, Li Tiezhu felt that the outsider surnamed Shao was so annoying. Seeing that the matter was about to be resolved, he came to intervene. Mrs. Xu is not easy to mess with. If he wants to be clean, he has to wrong the boss of the Xu family, otherwise the matter cannot be resolved. Yes, there must always be someone who suffers, right?
"Nursing grace is greater than life's grace. Boss Xu was raised by Mrs. Xu, so we should honor her!"
"Well, even if that's the case, the family division can't be done as you said, that's not fair!"
"Then how do you divide?" The village head's tone was not very good.
"It's very simple, split equally. Isn't the Xu family just two brothers? The land, house, food, and money are all equally divided!" Shao Yitang pretended not to see the village head's face, and continued.
"There is also my money, I have to pay it back, first pay back my money, and then they will separate! I have the IOU they borrowed money from! There is a picture of Mrs. Xu on it..."
"Impossible!" Mrs. Xu and Zhang Jinhua roared at the same time, split equally?Return money?Think beautifully! "Your surname is Shao, the silver is going to your father-in-law. It is also impossible for me to share half of the Xu family's property with the boss."
Not paying back?Let's go to the government, anyway, he has an IOU in his hand, Mrs. Xu can't afford it, Shao Yitang sneered.
"Village chief, you heard me, Mrs. Xu won't pay back the money, and she doesn't agree with the method of dividing the family you mentioned just now. Since you can't solve the matter even the village chief, let's go to the government and let the county master decide." .”
"Shut up!" Li Tiezhu yelled angrily while clenching his fists. When he got to the government, all the scandals of Xiaoxi Village would be exposed. He must not go to the government!
"Mrs. Xu, since you wrote the IOU at the beginning, you can give the silver to the surname Shao. As for the division of the family, follow what I just said, give the boss three acres of land, two houses, half of the grain, and no money. From now on, the boss will only be filial to your ration every year!"
"village head……"
"Bang" Li Tiezhu slapped the table and roared. "That's the deal. If anyone disagrees, get the hell out of Xiaoxi Village!"
"I agree!"
Shao Yitang rubbed his nose, and smiled provocatively at Mrs. Xu, who was so angry that she wanted to rush over to give him two slaps, but because the village chief was angry, in order not to be kicked out of the village, Mrs. Xu could only shed blood and tears promise.
"... just pay it back!"
Mrs. Xu is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of being kicked out of the place where the village chief has no place.
Shao is really a villain, her money...
☆、52.
Witnessed by the village head and the whole village, Mrs. Xu took out 15 taels of silver and returned it to Shao Yitang. Shao Yitang also tore up the IOU in front of everyone. The teeth are almost gnawed.
Then the village chief presided over the family separation ceremony for the Xu family, separating the household registrations of the two families, and then the house deeds, land deeds and the family's food, all of which were divided.
Xu Defu, who originally regretted killing his mother with a knife because of filial piety, disappeared without a trace after Aunt Zhu broke the Xu family's past.
Thinking of Mrs. Xu's harsh treatment of him and his wife and children over the years, the resentment in my heart cannot be increased, but after all, Mrs. Xu still has the kindness to raise him. Even if Mrs. Xu treats him badly, he would not be able to live without Mrs. Xu Growing up, there is no doubt about it.
Birth is not as good as nurturing, now that the family is being divided unfairly, Xu Defu only treats it as a repayment of Xu's old mother's kindness, and in the future, he will send the filial food every year, and they will have nothing to do with each other again!
The last sliver of affection for Mrs. Xu in my heart also disappeared after Mrs. Xu's unfair separation...
The village chief wrote the documents in duplicate and handed them over to Mrs. Xu and Xu Defu, then took the villagers and left Xu's house. He didn't want to see Xu's family and the outsider named Shao at all now!
Zhou Facai and his wife walked at the end, and they ran to Shao Yitang with a smile on their faces.
"Brother Shao, that, this...that money..."
money?Shao Yitang stared at the smiling faces of the two men and suddenly understood that today he took out all the money in Mrs. Xu's hand, thanks to Aunt Zhu for revealing the secret. With Mrs. Xu's comparison, now he sees Zhou Facai and his wife , I really think... these two couples are so cute and pure!
"What money is not money, what are you talking about, what kind of money, I don't know!"
"..." Zhou Facai was taken aback for a moment, glanced at his wife, and immediately understood, he quickly covered the coins in his arms and smiled at Shao Yitang
"Brother Shao heard it wrong. Brother, I meant that we had a drink the day before yesterday. Don't you want to ask you to be my brother and have a drink at my house! No money, no money, just come empty-handed when the time comes, what are we brothers talking about... ..."
Aunt Zhu also pulled Zhou Facai and smiled brightly at Shao Yitang. The fat on her face was piled up together, but she couldn't see whether her eyes were closed or open.
"That's right, Shao Xianggong will come to my house instead, and my aunt will cook something delicious for you!"
"Thank you in advance, I'll take you out!"
It seems that there is such a thing, Shao Yitang shook his head, these two couples are really real, they are open to money!
After sending Zhou Facai and his wife out of Xu's house, Shao Yitang came back again, met Mrs. Xu and the couple who were still standing in the yard with a bad face, parted her mouth and showed a hearty smile, and then ran to his father-in-law's house in the west wing in.
The Xu family has separated, and no matter how much the second room and Mrs. Xu dance around, they don't care about his affairs with Xu An's parents. I am in a good mood!
"Damn Shao, it's all him..." The resentment and distress in Zhang Jinhua's heart are no less than that of Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu's money is her second wife's money!
"say no more!"
Xu Degui scolded, although it is true that the 15 taels of silver should be returned to Shao Yitang, but if it is really taken out, who wouldn't feel bad about it?
Who would be willing to spend all the money that his elder brother had contributed to the family for so many years now?But no matter how unwilling they were, they still swallowed this loss.
"This year the imperial court's rural examination has been postponed, and Jiabao's examination is about to take place. If something like this happens in the family, it will definitely have an impact. If he is driven out of the village or made trouble with the government, then Jiabao's official career will be over, and the Zhao family will not get along with him. It was married to a family who was kicked out of the village."
"This..." Zhang Jinhua paused.
"Okay, just listen to the second child. Don't tell Jiabao and Liu Liu about this, let them stay in the town with peace of mind. From now on, the family will depend on their siblings. Second child, help your mother go back to the house to rest. Mother is tired!"
Mrs. Xu stared at the door of the west wing for a while, and when she heard Xu Degui's words, she panicked. Fortunately, the family's money was not distributed, and they have saved a lot over the years, or it would be really cheap, boss!
Anyway, the time is still long, and I will slowly look for opportunities to get back the money I took out today, so as not to affect the future of the two children, she is still waiting to become an official old lady!
I really didn't expect that after hunting geese all day long, I was pecked by geese, and today I fell into the hands of Shao!
When Shao Yitang entered the west wing room, he saw Xu Defu and Yunniang sitting on the chairs tiredly, their faces were both relaxed and worried.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, your health is not good, don't think too much, it will hurt your health..."
"Hey, we know, you kid is really right, today it's all up to you..."
Xu Defu sighed. If there are many people surnamed Shao today, they probably won't get anything other than two acres of land. After the division, they will all depend on him. It was fine before, he still has strength, but now Yunniang is pregnant, and his health is just a little bit better, so he can't live on two acres of land alone.
"You're welcome..." Shao Yitang smiled, took out the 15 taels of silver returned by Mrs. Xu and handed it to Xu Defu
"Father-in-law, don't refuse. This is what you deserve. When I bought the medicine, I was supposed to show respect to you two elders. Now that the Xu family has split up, and the mother-in-law is pregnant again, what can I do if I don't have any money, just accept it!"
In fact, Shao Yitang insisted that Mrs. Xu spit out the 15 taels of silver because she was thinking of Xu Defu and Yunniang. He didn't even think about taking it back when he borrowed the money. How do you live without money?
"Just treat An An and I as filial to you, mother-in-law, you don't want An An to worry about you!"
If An'an, his family, knew about the situation of Xu Defu and Yunniang, would he be able to live with him with peace of mind? He must be thinking about the two elders in his heart, if they don't eat well and sleep well.This daughter-in-law is not well, so naturally he is also not well.
"Good good..."
Yunniang wiped her tears and nodded to Xu Defu, Shao Yitang helped them too much, the couple didn't want to trouble Shao Yitang anymore, but now they are really short of money, just to care about face, this money really has to be collected.
Go back and tell the head of the family that if you make money, you will return it to the surname Shao. You can't always owe him, let alone accept the money as you should because of An Geer's relationship.
"That's how it is. I won't bother the second elder. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Shao Yitang nodded, greeted the elders and left Xu's house. This group of Xu Defu and Yunniang were just helping him. He can only be happy when his An'an is happy. Besides, these two couples have good conduct, and he is willing to help!
As soon as he walked out of Xu's house, a figure rushed towards him. Shao Yitang looked down, and it really was An'an from his family!
"An'an, did you have a good time today? Did you miss me?"
"Brother Shao, I know everything, thank you..."
Xu An, who came back from the temple, heard the news as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen at home in just one day.
He had heard from Brother Xiaohu's mother that when the Xu family separated today, if it wasn't for Brother Shao, his parents would have been bullied to death by his grandmother!
No matter what happened, Brother Shao helped to solve it, and it hurt him to the bone, and his heart was sour and sweet.
"You're being polite to me again, really..." Shao Yitang pinched Xu An's cheek helplessly
"Let's go back first. Xu's family is too messy today. Let's see my parents another day, okay?"
"kindness……"
Xu An nodded obediently. He knew the situation of the Xu family and his parents. He knew that his parents were fine, so he was naturally relieved. On the contrary, Brother Shao dared to quarrel with his grandma today and even won. What a shame! so amazing!
He decided that he would do something for his brother Shao!
"Brother Shao, let me go home and cook!"
"Okay... what, you cook? Well, An An, let me do it, how tiring cooking is!"
"Not tired, let me do it today, you must finish eating!"
"..."
finished eating! ! ! !
☆, 53. The follow-up to the curtain
The matter of Xu's family has been circulated in the village for a long time. Whether it is Mrs. Xu or the separated Xu Defu, even Shao Yitang and Xu An have been criticized and become the target of gossip by the villagers.
Especially the villagers who witnessed the separation of the Xu family at the time, talked about the situation one by one, as if they had witnessed the emperor's ascension to the throne, which was worth showing off.
For several days in a row, Shao Yitang couldn't help but think, there are so many people in this world who are full and have nothing to do but care about other people's shit and fart!
But no matter what everyone said or talked about, the Xu family was separated, and no matter how they lived, they couldn't get along with other people. It was nothing more than an after-dinner conversation in the village.
On the second day after the Xu family separated, Shao Yitang came to the door again, bringing along the mason who helped him build the house.
"Shao, you black-hearted wild man, what are you doing at my house again?"
When Shao Yitang came to the door, Zhang Jinhua was washing clothes at home. Because of the incident on the day the family separated, she didn't dare to go out in the past two days, for fear of being caught and commented on.
Isn't it out of anger, the loss of 15 taels of silver and the family property distributed to the boss of the Xu family were all caused by this surname Shao!
"I didn't see it, I'm going to my father-in-law's house!"
Shao Yitang smiled at Zhang Jinhua, not angry at all, pointed to the courtyard in the west wing, and shrugged his shoulders.
"Hmph, a bunch of bastards..."
Now Zhang Jinhua couldn't show any kindness towards Dafang and Shao Yitang, so she snorted coldly and entered the room with the basin in her hand, and got angry when she saw Shao~!
"..."
Shao Yitang, who had been scolded by Zhang Jinhua again for no reason, shook his head, he really wasn't a family, if he didn't enter a family, Zhang Jinhua hated him as much as Mrs. Xu!
Since you hate my surname Shao so much, then I will make you hate me even more. With a sinister smile on his face, Shao Yitang turned around and yelled at the masonry tools behind him.
"Bring things in. From here, build a wall to separate Xu's courtyard, and then open another door in and out of the west wing courtyard over there!"
Since the Xu family is separated, let's just divide the house thoroughly. Divide the house into two halves. From now on, Xu Defu and Mrs. Xu will be completely two families. He doesn't mind coming up with some bad ideas if he can add trouble to Mrs. Xu...
Seeing that the masons had already started to build the wall, Shao Yitang nodded in satisfaction, turned around and went into the yard of the west wing to find his father-in-law. He hadn't told the two elders about this, and now he had to say hello. The most effective method for the purpose! !
As expected, Xu Defu and his wife did not agree, but the walls in the yard have already been built, and the matter has come to this point, and the two of them have no choice but to accept it. , and Mrs. Xu, they no longer have to look up and look down.
Shao Yitang helped Xu Defu and his wife to separate a wall and a door, but the old woman Xu who came back from the outside was so angry that she almost didn't recover, and went to him with a broom on the spot to settle the score.
For Mrs. Xu's reaction, Shao Yitang had expected it. Before going to Xu's house, he called Zhou Facai and his wife to the door, and asked the two to stop Mrs. Xu who came to the door halfway. Let Zhou Facai come to help at home.
Of course, Zhou Facai and his wife would not refuse something to earn money. Aren't they just stopping Mrs. Xu?Trifle!
The husband and wife immediately got ready to go and ran to the road to wait for Mrs. Xu, and then saw Mrs. Xu coming to Shao's house aggressively with a broom, jumped out to stop them without thinking, and then started a verbal fight, attracting a group of onlookers of the villagers...
Although Mrs. Xu is powerful, Zhou Facai and his wife are not vegetarians. As the saying goes, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.
Since Sapo couldn't win against Mrs. Xu, the two simply played a rogue, relying on Mrs. Xu's strength and weakness, just to block people from passing.
Mrs. Xu is old after all, such a physical exhaustion can't be compared to the two young Zhou Facai and his wife. It was not until dark that they finally couldn't hold on anymore, so they dragged their tired body back to Xu's house, and she was so angry that she lay on the bed. I lay there for several days without going out.
Shao Yitang was very satisfied when he heard the news, and asked Zhou Facai to help him at his house the next day. He turned a blind eye to Zhou Facai's laziness in work, and paid him fifteen Wen a day as a support. A helper to deal with Mrs. Xu.
Facts have proved that the role of Zhou Facai and his wife is still huge. In order to please the benefactor Shao Yitang, every time the couple sees Mrs. Xu in the village, they must go up and do it. Every now and then, Mrs. Xu will lie on the bed for a few days, never They didn't have the energy to trouble Shao Yitang and Xu Defu and his wife, so they were much quieter.
Mrs. Xu didn't have the energy to harass Shao Yitang and Xu Defu, and the second wife of the Xu family didn't even have the energy.
This year, the imperial court's provincial examination was postponed, and the exam will start in May. Since Xu Jiabao returned home and started preparing for the exam, everyone in the Xu family's second room has been busy for Xu Jiabao. They are all looking forward to Xu Jiabao's high school. It will become detached, in this ancient times where everything is low-grade and only high-study is high, if a famous scholar comes out of the family, that is a matter of glory to the ancestors!
Even Xu Liuliu, who has been embroidering in the town all year round and not caring about family affairs, has returned to Xu's house and is actively helping her parents with her younger brother's affairs. As long as her younger brother becomes a scholar, her status will be different.
Although the eldest son of the Zhao family has taken a fancy to her now, it is not enough for her to marry the Zhao family as a regular wife. She does not want to stay in the village and be a country woman for the rest of her life. With her beauty, she should be that It is the young lady who enjoys happiness.
She had heard about the affairs of the family in the town, and secretly hated the family for not stopping. If the Zhao family found out, it would have an impact on her future marriage. I really hate God for giving her a beautiful face. But gave her such a family.
As long as my younger brother can pass the examination of scholar this time, he can stand up. Thinking of this, Xu Liuliu walked gracefully into Xu Jiabao's room with the sweet soup he cooked himself.
Regardless of the Xu family's affairs, Shao Yitang's ears have been quieter recently, and the new house is almost finished, at most one can be completed, and they can move in in June.
The corn and grapes in the field are also growing well. Shao Yitang feels an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart when he goes up to the mountain to take care of them every day
