Lucky husband

After eating as usual, today it was Bai Xiuhe's turn to do the work in the kitchen. When Bai Xiuhe was packing the dishes, Mrs. Li suddenly said, "Master, don't wash the dishes after you put them away. My father and I I have something to say."

"Mother, I see." One of Bai Xiuhe's greatest strengths is obedience, she will do what mother tells her to do.

Li Chengzhi has good eyesight, since his father and mother have something to say, he will help clean up the dishes so that everyone will not wait too long.

With Li Chengzhi's help, Li Chengshi could also step forward to help. His wife is pregnant, so he is helping Jiang Zhiyun with these tasks.

Seeing that the eldest son and the third son were clearing the table, the second son was still sitting stupidly with his elm head, the old lady Li didn't say a word, and the old god was watching him.

Li Chengzhi gave him a look, and the two brothers Li Mingde and Li Mingli also got up to take the bowls and chopsticks. Li Mingchun looked left and right, thought for a while and stood up to help.

Li Mingjin was still young, and he broke the bowl while holding the easy bag, so Jiang Zhiyun pulled him aside to prevent him from being in the way of others cleaning up.

Seeing this, Li Mingxia also stood up and walked to a corner out of the way.

Seeing that everyone in the room seemed to be moving, Li Chengli felt that he should do something, and he took the bowls and chopsticks in front of himself and Qian Xinghua to the kitchen.

Until now, only Qian Xinghua and Liming had their buttocks glued to the stool and remained motionless.

Looking at the people in this room, Old Madam Li just felt that her decision was too correct. It is good to separate the family. After the separation, you don't have to look at these terrible things. Only the big house is in front of you, so refreshing!

There are many people and strength, and the speed of clearing the table is very fast. In the blink of an eye, the big round table where Li's family eats is clean and there is nothing else.

Granny Li looked around and asked a question: "Do you know what I'm going to say?"

This question confused everyone who had just sat down in the room.

Li Chengzhi is the eldest in the family. He thought about the routines of previous years and said, "Mom, the busy farming season is over. Are you going to tell us about our family's harvest this year?"

It has been like this all these years. When the busy season of farming is over, Mrs. Li gathers her family to talk about the harvest of the year and let everyone know the harvest of the year.

Old lady Li shook her head: "Our family's harvest this year is the same as last year. There is nothing to say in this year of good weather."

Mrs. Li asked everyone to think for a while, and when everyone was caught off guard, she suddenly said: "I discussed with your father about separating the family."

Break up!

These two words, like two big stone hammers, hit the hearts of all the people in the Li family who understood what these two words meant.

Li Chengzhi's eyes widened. No matter what the reason is, the separation of the family when both parents are still alive must be because he, the son, did not do well.

He immediately pulled Bai Xiuhe up and knelt down in front of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li: "Father, mother, you..."

"Kneeling or kneeling, isn't it just a separate family, what's the big deal!" Mrs. Li slapped Li Chengzhi on the back. It sounded loud, but actually the slap didn't hurt at all.

Li Chengzhi didn't get up from the ground, Limingde Limingli Limingyue of his family also knelt down, and within a few breaths, a large area of ​​Li's main room was kneeling, and Qian Xinghua didn't dare to make a fuss.

Mrs. Li and old man Li are sitting in the upper positions. The people in this room are all descendants of the two of them.

Only Jiang Zhiyun was different. She was pregnant, and Mrs. Li told her to stand up and sit quickly instead of kneeling on the ground.

Looking at the big family, Mrs. Li has a complex expression. Although she said that the separation of the family was her own idea, but when it really came to the step of separating the family, the old lady still felt a little uncomfortable. When the family is divided, people's hearts will disperse... ...?_?☆

Qian Xinghua bowed her head and knelt on the ground, full of joy and worry. She has always wanted to separate the family, and today it finally came true, but she didn't know how much the separation would give them. If she knew her mother-in-law wanted to separate, she would have She should listen to her mother and not provoke her mother-in-law.

Qian Xinghua thought about it again, Li's family had ten acres of paddy fields and eight acres of dry land. assigned to them.

Here, when Qian Xinghua was thinking about what to get from the separation, Li Chengli suddenly kneeled up to the old lady Li and raised his head: "Mother, my son doesn't want to separate."

"Mother, what son did wrong, you can beat him and scold him, our family can't divide."

Li Chengli's temperament is the most honest. He is not as flexible as Li Chengzhi, nor has he seen the world like Li Chengshi. He is a pure countryman who feels that his family must live according to the rules left by his ancestors.

When Mrs. Li uttered the word "separation", the first thing Li Chengli thought of was what his son Liming said at the dinner table some time ago. Therefore, he believed that his father and mother wanted to separate because they were a family. It's unbearable.

He also thought that during the busy autumn harvest season this year, he was lazy and didn't work hard, which made him very uneasy.

It's not just him, Xinghua is also lazy in the house when everyone is busy. He thinks that Xinghua's child feels uncomfortable when he loses Xinghua. He doesn't say anything about some things, but if he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't know.

Once an honest man decides something, he will not change it easily. He kowtowed several times to Old Madam Li: "Mother, let's not separate."

In this kind of big family, at this moment, if one person kowtows, the rest will follow suit no matter if they are sincere or not.

Qian Xinghua was worried, her husband is a fool, how good it is to separate the family, all the money he earns goes into their small family, and he doesn't have to hand it over, so he goes out to find a few more part-time jobs, and in the future he will have money for his studies. Don't worry about Dafang's two nephews studying and dragging down the family.

"You don't need to kowtow, I've made up my mind, let's divide the family first today, those household registrations will be revised after the county government works, and the family will be divided directly." Mrs. Li went back to the room and took out a small box.

This small box contained almost all the valuable belongings of their old Li family, including house deeds, land deeds and silver.

"Let's talk about the house first. It's still the same as it is now. I'll give you the deeds that the second and third families live in now. The big house will provide for our old couple to take care of the elderly, so the yard belongs to the big house. You can find someone to seal the door and reopen it tomorrow." One in and one out, don't go in the yard."

"Let's talk about the family's land property. The paddy field has a total of ten acres. Your father and I each have two acres, and the three of you brothers have two acres each. The dry land has a total of eight acres. Your father and I together need two acres, and the three of you still have two acres per person. .”

"The family's money, over the years, has saved a total of 49 taels of silver and some copper plates. The copper plates are not counted. Adding the one and a half that the third child brought back yesterday, we have a total of 50 taels."

"Your father and I hold the coffin book of ten taels of silver in our hands, and the three of you brothers each share ten taels of silver. The remaining copper coins will not be divided, and belong to us old couple."

"The rest of the food in the family will be divided according to the population when the time comes. The chickens and pigs are raised by the eldest daughter-in-law, and they all belong to the old family. Two."

"That's about it. Do you have anything else to say?"

Granny Li was quick to do things, and she had already thought about it, so she quickly separated the things in the small box and put them on the table.

A table of silver, including five taels, twenty taels of silver ingots, and scattered silver, made Qian Xinghua's eyes shine. It would be great if all these silvers belonged to her!

"No objection! No objection!" Qian Xinghua got up from the ground, quickly grabbed the share that belonged to their family, and put it in her arms.

Seeing her move so fast, Li Chengli was so angry that the veins on his forehead twitched: "Xinghua, take out the money, house deed, and land deed!"

Qian Xinghua quit: "Mother told us to share these, why did you take them out?"

These were all given to them by Mrs. Li on her own initiative, and it was uncertain whether she could get them again after she was told to put them back. She clutched her chest and was unwilling to say anything.

The husband and wife began to quarrel, and Li Chengli felt that he was extremely embarrassed in front of the elders of the Li family.

Old Madam Li raised her voice and shouted: "Why are you arguing? If I tell you it's for you, it's for you. Second child, don't let your wife take it out."

Qian Xinghua got the support of "Old Lady Li", she raised her head and looked at Li Chengli with a proud face.

Li Chengshi ignored the farce of the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law. After discussing with Jiang Zhiyun in a low voice, he said, "Mother, you and father have too little money. My son is worried. Five liang of silver is enough for us."

Ever since Mrs. Li asked the family to hand in only half of the money, Jiang Zhiyun has saved ten taels of silver in her hands in the past few months. It is enough to have a baby in two months, and it doesn't take much.

Qian Xinghua glanced at her mouth. She didn't know what the third brother and the third younger siblings were planning. She didn't believe that they really thought money was hot.

"The family hasn't been divided yet, so my wife's words are useless?" Mrs. Li put the money back into the pile belonging to the third room, "I'll divide it up as I said!"

Mrs. Li thought about the situation of the third room, then looked at the things on the table, and she had a flash of inspiration: "That's not the case, the third child is working in the county government, and your daughter-in-law is pregnant, and she usually does embroidery at home. You two don’t know how to farm with a land deed, so why don’t I decide to give your one-acre paddy field to the boss, and they will give you ten taels of silver, boss and third, what do you two think?”

Compared with silver, the field is more important to the farmer, and the silver will be used less and less, but the field can produce crops every year.

The soil in Shanghe Village is fertile, and one mu of paddy fields is worth about ten taels of silver. However, because good land is not easy to come by, it is often difficult to buy it without a price in the market.

Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe looked at each other, Li Chengzhi thought it was okay, he would support the two boys to study in the future, and one more mu of land would give him a long-term income, which was more real than money.

Li Chengshi has no objection, he and Jiang Zhiyun can only rent out the land they have, and they don’t know how to grow it themselves. The elder brother has to provide for his parents, and the burden on his shoulders is heavy. He has the work of the county government, so it’s better to exchange the land for those who need it more. big brother.

Both sons agreed, and Mrs. Li decided to exchange the money from the big house for a land deed from the third house.
