Lucky husband

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Second Master Li began to separate the family that afternoon, very quickly.

Li Caoye was very opposed to it, and she felt that the separation of the family should not be done, not to mention what her parents said about them taking care of her for the elderly, what is this called!

But Erye Li had made up his mind, and after telling his decision at home, he went to the center of the village to look for Village Chief Bai. He wanted Village Chief Bai to be a witness.

Li Chengdi's daughter-in-law who got the news and came out of the room was dumbfounded. Didn't she just stay in the room for a while, why the father-in-law said that the family was going to be separated, and even called Village Chief Bai.

No matter how his daughter, son, and daughter-in-law knelt on the ground and begged, Second Master Li's attitude did not change at all, and he divided the family according to his ideas.

Unlike the division of the Li family, where Mrs. Li presides over the overall situation, the division of the Li Erye's family is all about the arrangement of the family's things by Li Erye.

The family has a total of three mu of paddy fields and four mu of dry land. One male has one mu of paddy field, Li Erye has one mu of dry land, and Li Caoye, Li Chengdi, and Li Chengliang have one mu of each. This is an even distribution.

As for the food, money, etc. in the family, they were divided into four parts like dry land, and the speed was so fast, it seemed that Master Li had already planned this matter.

There are many families in the village who split up, but there are few families who actually split up. There are even fewer people like Li's family who split up suddenly without warning.

Village head Bai confirmed several times, and then wrote down their family separation document according to Li Erye's words. The process went smoothly, and none of the Li family's sons and daughters made a fuss about the unfair separation.

More than half of the paper was written, and the content of the separation of the family has been completed, leaving the issue of the old couple's pension. Village head Bai looked at the siblings of the Li family who were kneeling on the ground and opposed the separation at first, but now they have calmed down, and looked at them. Second Mistress Li and Second Master Li with a gloomy expression asked in shock, "Second Uncle Li, do you really want Li Caoye to take care of you?"

In the past few decades in Shanghe Village, Village Chief Bai has never encountered such a request for family separation. Not to mention that Li Caoye is a woman, she still returned to her natal family with Li, and brought back only a brother. Even if the brother changed his surname to Li, That doesn't change the fact that Li Qiusheng is the elder brother.

This is different from the Bai family next door to them. The Bai Yao family died and went back to her husband's family to keep a filial piety, but she also has a teenage son. Even if there is only one boy, it is still a complete family. , In the future, there will be a man who can support the family business.

Second Master Li didn't even think about it, and said very firmly: "Well, the leaves of grass will take care of our old couple."

"Second Uncle Li, you have to think about it. Brother Qiu will reach the age of marriage in a few years. At that time..." Village Chief Bai didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already expressed clearly.

"I choose to follow my daughter. My two sons know very well. They have been born and raised for so many years. When I die, there will be no one who will fall into the brazier." When Li Erye said this, he looked at the two. Son, his expression didn't change, as if he wasn't talking about his own son.

"Let's take a step back. If both of you are unfilial sons, brother Qiu's surname is Li anyway. At worst, I will find a husband for him in the future. The child born will also be surnamed Li. It will not cut off the incense of the Li family."

These words frightened the two Li Chengdi and Li Chengliang, their father almost accused them of being unfilial in front of the village chief. Knowing that he had offended his father this morning, he didn't dare to defend himself, so he just knelt on the ground and you I express my filial piety one sentence at a time.

This is what Second Master Li said, and Village Chief Bai stopped persuading him, and wrote down the fact that Second Master Li and Mistress Li will live with their eldest daughter Li Caoye in the future.

Since the two sons are not around to honor their filial piety, they have to give pension money. Everyone is a farmer. Second Master Li thought about it and decided to let the two sons give fifty catties of white rice every year during the autumn harvest.

According to the autumn harvest in a normal year, 750 catties of white rice is [-] Wen, which is a little more than [-] Wen every month. The amount is not too much, and no matter how two families can afford it.

The two sons together have more than 100 Wen, not to mention other things, it is enough to buy some oil and salt.

Village head Bai picked up the whole family separation paperwork and read it again, and asked, "There is one more thing, how do you count the house?"

Li Erye was also thinking about this issue just now. This house was built more than ten years ago. The current size is because it was repaired twice before and after. The structure is a bit messy, and Li Erye did not consider Over the issue of family separation, it is impossible to close the door like the Li family, and reopen the door and they will not be together.

Because the family background of Li Erye's family is poor, the money given by the division is not enough to repair the house, and although he is a little dissatisfied with the two sons, Li Erye still can't do such a thing as letting the two sons go out directly.

After much deliberation, Second Master Li finally decided to directly build two walls in the courtyard, and then open two doors on the original courtyard wall, simply and rudely dividing the current Li family's house into three small courtyards.

Only in this way, Erye Li's house became even more crowded, and the planning of the main room and rooms became messy. Now it's okay for the children in the second and third bedrooms to be small, but when the children grow up or have a few more children, it will be very difficult. It's hard.

Seeing that it was imperative to separate the family, Second Master Li had already decided that the old couple would follow Li Caoye. Li Chengdi, Li Chengliang, and Li Caoye all knelt on the ground, frowning and saying nothing.

The minds of the two daughters-in-law became active. If they don't fight for something more for their own family when they separate, they will have nothing if they want it after the separation.

"Father, mother, I..." Li Chengdi's daughter-in-law had just begun to speak, when Li Chengdi grabbed her.

Li Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Father, you and mother have worked hard all your life to bring up your son. The son is already very grateful. Now that the family is separated, you still think about the son. You have given him the land and the house. The son is already very grateful." Satisfaction, the remaining son will earn it with his own hands in the future, and will be more filial to you and mother."

The words were beautiful, but Second Master Li didn't give him a good face, he snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Village head Bai was only responsible for writing the documents, not for mediating the internal conflicts of the Second Master Li's family. After he finished writing the family separation documents, he picked them up and read them. After confirming that there was no problem, he copied three more copies for the Li family father and son Several people stamp their fingerprints, each of them has a copy, and the village keeps a copy.

Village Chief Bai left, and Second Master Li immediately asked Mistress Li to take out the family's land deeds, silver and grain, and divide them according to the amount written on the family separation document.

Then there are some small belongings, all belonging to each family are all cleared out today, so as not to find out that something is wrong later.

Finally, the division of the stove room, firewood room, and hut in the yard is not written in the family separation document, and the ownership of these three separate small houses has not yet been determined.

Without giving everyone a chance to discuss, Second Master Li took out a hoe and hoeed two paths in the yard, which represented the new courtyard wall after the separation.

Li Erye and Li Mistress still live in the middle with Li Caoye. Their newly built courtyard wall will enclose the kitchen and woodsheds. Li Chengliang has nothing, the only advantage is that the place he was allocated is next to the current courtyard gate, so there is no need to reopen the gate.

"Okay, starting from tonight, each family will eat separately. Pots, pans, food, oil and salt have already been divided. There is no need to eat together. Second and third, you should quickly repair your own stoves. Open the gate of the new courtyard early." After Erye Li ordered, he returned to the room with his copy of the family separation document, seeing the mess in the courtyard made him upset.

Second Mistress Li wiped her tears and followed behind Second Master Li. Li Caoye thought for a while, and chased after him regardless of the food and other things on the ground.

When we arrived in the room, the light was a little dim, and Erye Li's straight back bent down.

"Father..." Seeing Li Erye like that, Li Caoye couldn't speak at all.

Dad wants to separate the family, and live with her in the future, not all because of her, now that the family is divided, what's the use of her talking.

Second Master Li asked Li Caoye to sit down: "Caoye, don't think too much."

Facing his worried daughter, Second Master Li slowly said: "This time the separation of the family is not just a momentary impulse. Ever since you and Li returned to your mother's house, I have thought that this day might come."

"Your two younger brothers have grown up and have their own ideas. At first, your mother and I planned to build a small house next to us outside after we separated. This will make it convenient for us to take care of you without letting you There are conflicts with your younger brothers living together for a long time, but today's incident with your two younger brothers makes me very sad."

"No matter what the reason is, Brother Qiu was said that by the Zhou family. Your second brother shouldn't act like he has nothing to do with himself. He is too cold-hearted. As for your third brother, he let Zhou's nonsense Ba Dao did not stop it, which means that he chose to believe in Zhou from the very beginning, or that he stood on Zhou's side, just like the two of them, you said, when your mother and I are old and dead, they can treat you well ?"

"I also thought about it before, if the old couple followed the daughter instead of the son, there would definitely be rumors in the village, but today I figured it out, if you live alone with the child after the separation, gossip There must be more people. Back then you married to the Liang family for the sake of your two younger brothers. You suffered so much and endured so much grievance. It doesn't make sense that you, the older sister, should continue to suffer for them now that the two of them are so old. "

As he spoke, the corners of Li Erye's eyes became moist. If only he had opposed Cao Ye marrying into the Liang family, it would have been fine, but there is no such thing as now.

Li Caoye couldn't bear it when she heard her father's heart for her, and threw herself into the arms of Old Madam Li: "Father, mother, it's my daughter who is unfilial, it's my daughter who is unfilial..."

When she first heard that Brother Qiu was wronged, Li Caoye felt a bit of resentment in her heart, because she felt that something like this happened because Daddy didn't protect Brother Qiu.

Now, she had thrown away that grievance a long time ago, and the knot in her heart was untied. She just wanted to cry in her mother's arms.

With Li Caoye in her arms, Mistress Li has been crying for a long time, her miserable daughter.
