Back to the ancient restaurant

Hearing these words, the expressions of all the people present couldn't help but froze.Because everyone knows that there is no cure for this disease, let alone the possibility of recovery.

"Uncle, take a closer look. My old man was fine before, why did he suddenly have a stroke?"

When he was talking, he heard a whining sound from inside the room, and Li Zian turned and entered the room when he heard the sound.Walking to the father's bed, the father was trying to get up and sit up, but he found that the left side of his body was no longer in control.I heard someone talking outside and wanted to call someone, but found that I was speechless.

Looking at his appearance, Li Zi'an was convinced that Doctor Song's diagnosis was correct, that his father had indeed suffered a stroke.There is no cure for this disease in modern times, and it can only be controlled by drugs and careful maintenance in the later stage.But in this era, there is no special medicine for stroke. As long as you have a stroke, there is basically no hope.

"Father, what do you want to say?"

Seeing that the person in front of the bed was Li Zi'an, Father Li was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of disgust flashed across his face.With his fairly nimble right hand, he swung Li Zi'an's hand away, turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, and yelled again.

Seeing this, Li Zi'an sighed helplessly, looked up at the old lady Li who was standing at the door, shook her head and took two steps back.

……

The old man had a stroke, and everyone in the Li family lost all intention of having a lively Spring Festival.Everyone spent the entire New Year's Eve with gloom on their faces, and ushered in the first day of the second year.

After getting sick, the old man seemed to hate Li Zi'an very much, and he didn't even want to see him at a glance.As soon as Li Zian entered his room, Father Li would go into a rage and throw everything he caught at Li Zian.

Brother Li asked Dr. Song, knowing that his father's mood should not fluctuate too much due to his illness.So he tactfully persuaded Li Zian not to go to his father to serve him if he was fine.Li Zi'an was also very helpless about this, he could only nod his head in agreement after listening to the second brother's words.

Because his father was sick, Li Zi'an was not in a hurry to rush back to town after the Chinese New Year.After asking Li Wenming to help bring a sentence to Mama Li and Uncle Yang, he concentrated on waiting at home.

Seeing that her old man could eat, drink and sleep, there was nothing hindering her. She was worried about the impact of the shop being closed for a long time, so she persuaded Li Zi'an to go back first.Unexpectedly, before Li Zian nodded in agreement, Mrs. Li jumped up first.

During these days when my father was ill, except for the first few days when Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li came to join him, the rest of the time he didn't even show his face.Because the father can't see Li Zi'an, the old lady and the second brother Li have been taking care of them all the time. The second sister-in-law wants to share the burden, but because she is only a daughter-in-law, she has no choice but to do some cleaning and cleaning. manual labor.

Seeing Mrs. Li jumping up to object directly, Li Zi'an, who was suffocating with anger, couldn't hold back anymore and also became angry.

"Sister-in-law, since my father was ill until now, we all live in the same yard. How many times have you and elder brother visited father? How many times have you paid for the medicine for father?"

Hearing this, Brother Li's eyes flashed and he didn't speak. Sister Li put her waist on her waist and said, "Do you think we don't want to serve the old man?! Don't we want to treat the old man?! Isn't it because your elder brother has no skills, he If you and the second child had the ability, our eldest room wouldn't be living like this."

As soon as Mrs. Li said this, the people present couldn't understand what she meant.When father was in good health earlier, Mrs. Li had the idea of ​​separating the family, but she didn't have the courage to mention it.Now that the old man is in poor health and can no longer speak, the couple's thoughts of separating the family naturally became active again.

"How is your first wife living? Did your parents short you for food and drink, or did they not meddle in your business? Did your parents ask you to pay a penny for the family's expenses?"

As soon as Li Zian's words came out, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

"It's not that your parents are partial. How much money and hard work have been spent at home for you to study for so many years. Wen Wenming and Wen Qing are the eldest grandsons of our Li family. Don't they go to the town to work as waiters now to make ends meet?"

Hearing Mrs. Li start to bring up the old story again, the originally silent Brother Li couldn't help but get angry.

"Sister-in-law, you must act according to your conscience. You two should ask yourself, have you ever paid a penny for your younger brother's education at home? The family wants to support Wen Wen and Wen Qing's education, but you two have to live up to it. You should look back on your own. Think about it, is it because the family is unwilling to allow the two of them to study, or they themselves are unwilling to study."

Li Wenming already felt that what his old mother said was a little too much, but now that he was involved in the bad thing about his study, he was even more ashamed to listen to it.He stretched out his hand to paw his old lady, but was slapped aside by the other party.

"Mom, grandpa is still sick, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Li glared at Li Wenming, and raised her voice, "What's wrong with me? You also know that your grandpa is ill. We were busy working and we didn't see your grandpa for a few days. Opinion. They can talk about us, but we can't talk back?!"

Mrs. Li had a headache from being noisy, so she arranged rows of tables to quiet them down.

"Boss, daughter-in-law, just say what you think, instead of pointing at others with a gun and stick. It just so happens that everyone in the family is here today, so just say it."

After hearing her mother-in-law's words, Mrs. Li glanced at her man, and then involuntarily looked at Father Li who was leaning on the bed rail in the inner room.Seeing him staring at her with bulging eyes, Mrs. Li couldn't help but panic, but thinking of her and Meimei's happy life after the separation, she gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage.

"What idea can I have? I have only one idea after being married to your Li family for so many years, and that is to live separately."

Hearing that the eldest daughter-in-law finally spoke out her thoughts, Mrs. Li was not angry either.Shaking the dust off his clothes, he got up and went into the back room, stood in front of Li's father's bed, looked at him and said: "The children are all here today, since the eldest daughter-in-law brought up this matter again, I think it's okay." Let her wish to separate the family."

Seeing that Mrs. Li's staring eyes showed disapproval, Mrs. Li sighed and continued, "A family can live a prosperous life only when their hearts are united. If they are not united, crowding in a yard is useless except to be angry. You are the master of the house." It's been a lifetime, and I'll be the one to make the decision on the separation of the family this time."

"I think you all know how many acres of land and woodland there are in your home. Your father and I will keep two acres of these things for the elderly, and the rest will be shared equally by the three of you. Pots, pans, farm tools and livestock at home, if they can be shared equally , what can’t be shared equally, will be reserved for us two old people.”

When Mrs. Li heard that her mother-in-law made such a division, she immediately became a little unhappy.He raised his leg and stepped into the back room, looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, isn't it a bit unfair for you to do this? These years, the younger brother in the family has ever contributed, why should he pay him so much?"

Mrs. Li looked up at the eldest daughter-in-law, and said to Mrs. Li with a serious expression: "Boss daughter-in-law, I will leave room for everyone if I don't say anything. You, including the second child, Zi'an is the one who is studying with you and your father Xin." You worked so hard, you know better than anyone else whether you got the money or not. Also, all the land in the family was earned by me and your father, and you think it's unfair for me to divide it so, you don't have to."

Boss Li, who was sitting in the main room, who had been silent all the time, saw the old lady's serious expression, and knew that she was serious.Looking at his own daughter-in-law who was still holding her neck and being serious, she got up and went to the inner room to give her a hand.

"Mother, don't listen to her nonsense, you can divide it as you say, and we have no opinion at all."

Mrs. Li also reacted to being pulled by her man, watching Mrs. Li move her lips and finally didn't say anything else.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li turned her eyes to her second son who was squatting on the ground, and asked him, "Second, do you have any opinions, please tell me."

"You can divide it however you want, we have no opinion."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li nodded her head and turned her gaze to Father Li: "It's the way things are now, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and our two old bones can't work for them for the rest of our lives. After the family is separated, It all depends on their own good luck. We two old fellows will take care of ourselves in the future.” After finishing speaking, Mrs. Li said to Boss Li: “Because it’s still early today, Li Zheng and the Li family The elders should be still at home, you guys go and invite them, and get things done today, so as to avoid the trouble of long nights and dreams."

Finally got his wish, Boss Li tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart and responded, then turned his head and walked out.When I walked to the door and saw that Brother Li and Li Zi'an hadn't moved, I realized that I was too eager.

Brother Li glanced at Boss Li angrily, took a deep breath, stood up on his knees, walked up to Boss Li, and said angrily, "Let's go, what are you doing here?!" Said Forget it, regardless of Boss Li's embarrassing expression, he left the room without looking back.

……

After a while, all the elders of the Li family arrived.Because Sanfang lived in the town and couldn't find anyone to call him for a while, so it was fine.

Everyone greeted Li's father's health, told him to take good care of his health, and then Li Zheng led the way to the main room.Because of Li's father's health, the separation of the family is all decided by Mrs. Li.After repeating what he had just said to his three sons to everyone, he also divided up the house next to the old house.

Mrs. Li wanted to live in a new house, but she didn't have enough money to build a yard. In short, she wanted to give the price of the old house allocated to them to Brother Li and Li Zi'an.The room is full of old people who have lived for decades, and they can't hear the meaning of the husband and wife. The original feelings for the two have changed a lot.

In the end, Li Zi'an bought the three houses assigned to Boss Li at the price of five taels of silver, and wrote a buyout statement under the witness of everyone.

After the real estate and fields are clarified, there is only the old man and old lady's pension problem.According to the meaning of the head of the village, the three families take turns to support them.But in view of Boss Li's behavior, Li Zian and Li Erge were not at ease.Brother Li took a look at his daughter-in-law's face, and said directly that he was willing to take on the responsibility of supporting the elderly.Of course Boss Li had no objection to this, but Li Zi'an felt very sorry.The old man and the old lady raised the three of them, so it didn't make sense for Brother Li to take on this responsibility, but they all shrank their heads and said nothing.

But because of the business in the town, Li Zian couldn't stay at home to take care of the two elderly people for a long time, and he couldn't take them over now before he got a firm foothold.

Li Zian thought about it, got up and said to Li Zheng and several elders: "I appreciate the kindness of the second brother, but this matter is not his responsibility alone. I am busy with business now, and I really have no time to take care of the elderly. Two If brother is willing to take care of parents, my second brother will take care of the fields and forests in my hands, and I will give ten taels of silver as a subsidy every year. Elders, do you think this will work?"
