The husband's son-in-law

"How many?!"

If his father doesn't believe it, just come and see.The son swallowed, "Five, five stones, it's not that last year the village chief's family had more than four stones—" Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the head by his father.

"Four stones are too little?" said his father.

"No." The son was also happy when he was beaten, grinning his teeth, and said, "Father, our family has five stones. You said they are all five stones, or do we have more?"

"I don't know. Last year our family didn't use fertilizer. When the harvest came out, we were greedy for other people's family. From making fertilizer to applying fertilizer this year, I didn't dare to put down half a snack. I ran to everyone every day, and the soles of my shoes After wearing out two pairs, I am finally looking forward to the harvest, which is more than five shi?" His father didn't believe it, he looked at it carefully, and asked the younger son to go to the house to get others to try.

Could it be called bad?

Not bad.

It's five stones a fight.

No one dared to make a loud noise in the yard.

"No, no, hurry up, don't delay the ones in the field," his father said.This meeting will not stop, what to stop?As soon as he saw the five stones of grain in the yard, he gained strength.

If you don't take back your own yard, you're just worrying.

Every household in Xiping Village is like this. It took half a month to harvest the rice, threshed the millet, pounded the rice, dried it and packed it into bags.They kept planting wheat in the dry fields first, and it was at the end of October that they could really rest.

When I went to the town to deliver food tax, all the old and young men in the village were happy and cheerful, chatting together.

"How much stone is your family this year?"

"The old slippery man still asked me, isn't yours the same?"

The paddy fields in the whole village are the same, at least five stones per acre are used as a base, and those that are better are five stones, two or three.

"You said God used to be smooth and smooth, and an acre of land only cost three stones. I never dreamed that there would be so many, five stones."

"Who isn't? At that time, even three stones harvested in the field would cry with joy."

"My family just weighed five stones, but I can't believe it, I'm afraid the scale is broken."

"Haha me too, this year is really getting better."

"Thanks to Gu Shulang from Master Li."

"That's right, that's right, Gu Shulang is a good guy. It's good for everyone Li to not hide it. If it wasn't for everyone Li to show you how to make fertilizer, how would we know? I've never heard of that stone powder before."

"Who isn't?"

"Last year, I was so happy that I harvested four stones per mu of land. I didn't expect to have one more stone this year. I heard from Gu Shulang that this year's time was good, and last year it was too late to harvest less."

"Reading is still useful."

"Why do you still want to send your baby to study? It will cost money."

"What's wrong? The harvest is good now, if it's like this every year, it's okay to be a scholar."

I just thought it was expensive, but I used to plan food in the fields, and I had enough to eat and drink all year round, and I had to save money to build a house for the baby to marry a wife and get married for the scholar. What book do you read?

It's different now.The harvest in the field is good, and I keep my own food and sell the grain. If I have less, I can save 20 or [-] taels a year, and if I have more, I can save [-] taels like the Wang family. It is not too tight to provide for a child.

"But let's forget about my child, Gu Shulang is so smart, and he didn't take the exam—" The honest man spoke bluntly, and almost slipped his tongue. He didn't mean to look down on Gu Shulang, "I mean, my baby is not as good as Gu Shulang, so I still don't want to study. Now, it’s not a good time to save a few years to build a house, marry a wife, and buy a few acres of paddy fields.”

The men around nodded in agreement, that is, reading is not something that peasants can do, but farming, building houses, marrying wives and having children is serious business.

When everyone is ready, send food.

Li Da led his family's mule cart, which was loaded with grain and taxes.

The men in the village went out to deliver food tax, and the aunts and uncles gathered in a pile, and they were already thinking about what to buy in the town next time they sold food, and what they promised to their daughters and brothers, to buy caramel, hair ropes, and cloth Make new clothes.

Mrs. Tian was happy, and Perak Bala said a lot, "...If it doesn't work, I have to tell Zhou Zhou, when the time comes, my family will build a house and come to eat."

"It's still early, and it won't be too late when it's built." The village woman laughed at Tian.

Tian was very happy, raised her eyebrows, "What do you know, the Li family is a great benefactor, of course I told you earlier." After speaking, he turned and went to the Li family.

The uncles and aunts who stayed at the same place all laughed, but this time they laughed in good faith, saying that Mrs. Tian has such a strange temper. Who would have thought that Mrs. Tian would point at the door of Li's house and scold him more than a year ago, but now it is Li Zhouzhou The whole family is burning incense.

Tian's original words: Fortunately, Li Zhouzhou didn't recruit my nephew, otherwise Gu Shulang wouldn't come to the door, who would consider the fertilizer in our village, who would build the big cow's daughter-in-law in my house?

Although these words are a bit vague, but if you think about it carefully, they are really true.At that time, the village said so, thanks to the Li family's father and son resisting and not letting go easily, Li Zhouzhou picked Gu Shulang from Dongping Village.

What a good marriage.

In November, those who sell grain sell grain, and those who build houses build houses.Xiping Village is bustling, because everyone's money is loose, and people are in good spirits when they celebrate happy events. They chat and get together every day, laughing at everyone, and there are no loud disputes.

Put a handful of melon seeds and peanuts in the bamboo dustpan where shoe soles are used to make clothes and needlework. Aunts and uncles eat while working, and children play around with caramel in their mouths. Dad asked for some melon seeds and peanuts to eat.

Talking dry mouth, drinking saliva holding a big tea mug.

"This thing is good. It's not afraid of bugs when it's covered with a lid. It's clean and has a big belly."

"Isn't that right, Gu Shulang figured it out really well."

After the house was built, the villagers began to eat again, and the bustle and bustle continued throughout November.As for Li Zhengren, who was far away in Ningping Prefecture, Li Sanjia's life was not so easy.

"The rice vat at home is almost out of rice. When will the country deliver the rice? In previous years, it would have arrived a few days earlier, but now it has been delayed until now. Don't it be because of your nephew?"

Li Zhengren's wife, Feng Pingping, sat crookedly in front of the dressing table, "Let's talk about it first, if your second brother in the country wants to take care of us with the rice and send that nephew over, I won't agree."

"It's not that I'm stingy. Last time your good second brother and second sister-in-law came to the door, I didn't have the face to say it. What was the scolding in my mouth? It's because I have a good temper. Her child is a thief. I just teach a few words. It's him." I scared myself away."

Li Zhengren supported his wife's shoulders, and comforted him softly: "I know, I didn't blame you. I was not at home at the time, and I caused you to be wronged and subjected to those swear words. Didn't you hear that and quickly called someone to help me? The second elder brother's family has no knowledge, and the life of the country people is pitiful, and the children they just raised have no rules."

"Such a tall person can only be as heavy as a few slaps from you, so I can't stand the hard work. It's not your fault."

Feng Pingping turned her head to anger at her husband, and said: "It's been so long, and the anger I should have has almost dissipated. After all, I am also an elder, so can I argue with your nephew?" She raised her eyebrows and said: "But I can't let him come again. Yes, when he comes, he is so big and speaks loudly, startling Yaozu who is studying."

Li Yaozu is the eldest son of Li Zhengren and Feng Pingping.

"Of course, I can't stand Guangzong's clumsiness." Li Zhengren sat back on the stool and sighed, "It's not that I dislike Guangzong. I told my second brother to teach Guangzong well many years ago. Guangzong is smart. What happened? Well, four It's been a month, and I, as an uncle, haven't been able to get over the problem, this kid is useless."

Feng Pingping turned around and sat opposite her husband, stretched out her hand to hold his hand, and said, "I can't blame you, it's because his family didn't teach it well. Although we are uncles and aunts, we are still outsiders."

Having said all this, Feng Pingping frowned again, "Master, you think your second brother's family won't hate us, right? From now on, they won't send us rice? But it's not for free, we also spent money of."

"It's been delayed for a few days, I'm afraid the anger hasn't dissipated." Li Zhengren patted his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, I can't let my parents go back. I still have work to leave. My parents haven't returned for a long time." Township, just take this opportunity to go back and have a look, there are parents here, persuasion and persuasion, the second brother should be able to calm down."

Only then did Feng Pingping feel relieved.

There are father-in-law and mother-in-law who go there, even with filial piety, they can overwhelm the second room to send rice.Two days later, Li San's rice tank was completely empty, and he had no choice but to go to the grain store to buy rice, but when they came back, the old couple couldn't keep them, and they kept cursing Li Er for being heartless.

A liter of rice costs fifteen cents.

What I bought was a heartache.

Li Zhengren rented a mule cart for his parents, delivered it to the car himself, and said: "My tired parents have suffered so much for me. They were supposed to accompany them back home, but my side really—"

"My son, Xinxin, knows that it is not easy for you to support a large family by yourself. Don't worry, when your second brother sends rice, we can come back with you. Come in quickly, don't freeze in the wind and cold outside." Old lady Li said .

Old man Li had a serious face, "If it weren't for the second child, why bother us to make such a trip again, it's really unfilial."

"Father, don't be angry, be careful not to get angry."

"Slow down on the road."

Li Zhengren reminded, and Feng Pingping next to her, told her father-in-law and mother-in-law to come back early, and be careful not to get cold, the driver couldn't listen to the babble, and it would be too late if he didn't leave, so he yelled and drove the mule away car.

But he thought in his heart: The couple talked nicely, and they didn't see food and drink for their parents on the way. He watched the two old people dryly get into the car with empty hands.

Forget it, it's not his parents, so it's his turn to worry about it?Be hungry and thirsty.

The old couple of the Li family hadn't returned to Xiping Village for more than ten years, and they had long forgotten that it was not easy when they came here. At that time, the family was divided, the property was sold, and the youngest son moved to Ningping Mansion. I didn't get used to it at first. After so many years, I don't remember the way back now.

All he is satisfied with is to ask for food for his youngest son, to vent his anger on his youngest son, to scold Li Er for not being filial, why he doesn't send rice, and the tired parents want to go back.Completely forgot to eat and drink.

Li Zhengren and his wife, who talked nicely, also forgot about it.

So after leaving the city gate, the coachman drove the car for two hours, and the trail became more and more desolate and uninhabited. The two elders in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked up to see wasteland, not even a village.

Mrs. Li drank a bowl of porridge when she went out. She was already hungry and rumbling, so she raised the curtain and asked, "Little son, when will you be here?"

"It's still early, it's good to arrive before it gets dark." The coachman said without any reply.

This is bad.

In the carriage, old man Li and old man Li watched dryly, unable to say anything.In the end, I carried it to the first village I saw, and didn't dare to delay. I bought a steamed bun for a penny. The old couple shared the steamed bun and ate it in the car, drooling dryly.

The two elders of Qian do have it, but they all feel sorry for the youngest son, and they are usually reluctant to eat and drink by themselves.

The mule cart was faster than the bullock cart, and finally arrived at Xiping Village just after dark.

It’s getting late now, the town has closed the city gate, and it’s dangerous for the coachman to drive at night. Normally, he takes this kind of work and rests in the nearby village for a night. He just pays a few pennies for some hot water—he brings his own dry food. up.

Granny Li naturally agreed and said that she would live in her second son's house.Thinking about saving a few pennies is a few pennies.

"Second elder, where is it? How to get there?"

It was still dark, and Mrs. Li couldn't see well, so she asked the old man to get out of the car to lead the way, and walked into the village entrance, but the old couple didn't recognize her in a daze.

This, this is the village?

"How do I remember that this piece of land is all wasteland?"

"Did the old Wang's family at the entrance of the village just play with money and sell the paddy fields? At that time, the Wang family had not yet separated, and the old house was a big family at the back. The further you go, this is the one in the village." Old man Li gestured his thumbs to the young man who was driving the car. Said: "Our former old house was given to the second son, it was on top."

The coachman said, "The second elder is still a wealthy man."

"These things in the village are nothing, but my youngest son is smart and capable, so he took us to the prefecture and county early to enjoy the blessings." Old Madam Li said happily.

What’s good about the village, working in the fields every day, raising pigs and chickens, doing laundry and cooking—of course, when I go to Fu County, Mrs. Li also cooks and does laundry, but I don’t need to collect peanuts, beans, pound rice and dry rice during the busy season, and I don’t need to raise pigs and chickens. .

Lisan's family in Fu County has a small yard, and they don't even have a plot to grow vegetables.

"In the past, this area was all wasteland." Old man Li was still sighing, but now it is a built yard.

The old lady Li said, "Stop boasting, take a quick look, where is the second child?"

A yard and a house were built on the wasteland, and the old couple couldn't count the past. It was dark, and the gate of the yard looked like everyone else from the outside.Old man Li casually went up and knocked on the door.

This knocked at Zhang Zhuzi's house.The courtyard wall of Zhang Zhuzi’s house was also messed up before, this year’s harvest was not good, the house was built in November, the dilapidated courtyard wall should be repaired, and a new gate was replaced—the matchmaker found a wife for Daniel, Tian Shi said that the door had been changed, and it looked bright and airy.

This month I changed the post, and I will hold a banquet during the Chinese New Year.

There is no way that everyone is busy in the spring, and they have to fertilize the dry fields, and there is no time for banquets, so it is better to do it early.

In the new house, Mrs. Tian was soaking her feet, when she heard the door ringing, she muttered something, who is so blind at night, her wet feet kicked on the shoulders of her man, "Go open the door and have a look, can you let me go? "

Zhang Zhuzi got up obediently and went to open the door.

"Who?"

"You are?" Old man Li couldn't recognize him either. After he left for more than ten years, all the dolls in the village have changed.The old lady Li leaned forward, acting like an old lady from a prefecture or county, and said kindly with a smile: "My family belongs to the Li family. I went to the prefecture and county to join the parents of my youngest son Li Zhengren more than ten years ago. Where does my second son live? What? Please show me the way, it’s been too long since I’ve been back..."

Mrs. Tian waited for a long time before seeing her husband come back, and said angrily: "The water is cold, there is hot water on the stove in the main room, you can add more and I will soak for a while, after you finish washing, pour water."

Zhang Zhuzi added hot water to his mother-in-law.

"By the way, who is it at the door? It's late at night."

"Li Er's father and mother, they are the old couple of the Li family who went to the prefecture to join Li Zhengren—"

Before Zhang Zhuzi finished speaking, Tian stood up in the basin first, so frightened that Zhang Zhuzi didn't know whether the water in the pot in his hand could be poured, "What's wrong, the water hasn't been poured yet."

"Fall down, shit up." Mrs. Tian took out her feet from the water basin, put on her jacket after she put on her shoes, and muttered, "No, I have to remind Zhou Zhou's family, these two are old and not dead. This will come, I must have no good intentions."

After Tian finished speaking, he remembered why.

What else is there, Li Er didn't go to prefectures and counties this year to deliver cheap food.

These two old bastards are destined to be short of food to eat, bah.Tian hurriedly put on her clothes, dragged her husband and knocked on the door of Li's family, there must be some movement, the Wang's next door also heard it.

Just halfway through the conversation with Zhou Zhou on Tian's side, Liu Huaxiang's high-pitched curses broke out from Li Er's house on the other end.

So after a while, when it was dark and it was time to wash and go to bed, every household in Xiping Village lit oil lamps—now that the house is relaxed, the oil lamps can still light a little, and today is special.

It's not that the villagers are idle, but I haven't heard the sound of scolding and fighting for a long time. Don't say it, Mrs. Tian was thinking about it. Swear back."

It's been a long time since she has talked with anyone.

Gu Zhao who came out with Zhou Zhou: ...

In Tian's eyes and face, he could see the high spirits and high-spirited scolding.

pretty good.

Li Zhouzhou thanked his aunt and told her to go back early to avoid the cold.

Mrs. Tian agreed, and didn't disturb Li Zhouzhou's rest. She took Zhang Zhuzi and left, but instead of going home, she went to Li Er's house. Almost all the courtyard doors next to Li Er's house were open, and the walls were broken. The wall, the oil lamp carrying the oil lamp, are still blocking the gate.

Everyone greeted each other to watch the fun, and they also exchanged eyebrows and eyes in the night. There was even an uncle who patted his kid back and took out some melon seeds, and divided them into a few people who watched the fun together, and watched while eating.

"Bah! After eating my cheap rice for more than ten years, you are still begging for it. You two go back and ask that bastard Li San, who has a heartless belly, what is it, and wants to eat my rice, oh!"

Liu Huaxiang scolded loudly, afraid that the villagers would not know if they could hear her, "Everyone come to see, blame me for speaking badly? First, Li San and his wife forced my second wife to die. I have been holding back this tone and owe me eight Shiwen hasn't come back yet, and now the two elders come to my door at night, and first slap Guangzong across the face, is there any reason for this?"

"My Guangzong is no longer the grandson of the Li family. He has to be beaten. After being beaten by a bitch, he is still beaten in his own yard. He is accused of being unfilial. How can I be filial? Is it Liu Huaxiang's life?"

Liu Huaxiang cursed and cursed, hugging Guangzong and crying.

The old couple followed Zhang Zhuzi to show the way, and finally found the second son's house. The old couple ate a piece of dry steamed buns on the way back. Now they are hungry and tired, and they also complain about their second son. If the second son didn't take the initiative to send rice , the two of them will not have to make a trip in vain.

So old man Li knocked on the door without politeness, making a bang bang bang.

It just so happened that Li Guangzong came out to open the door, it was dark and he hadn't seen who was outside yet.The old man Li didn't clear it either, but he didn't care if he saw it or not, it was always from Li Er's family. I can't beat the child anymore?

So the old man Li slapped Li Guangzong on the head and covered his face, and scolded him for being unfilial, and tired the old couple back to the village...

Li Guangzong was dumbfounded and called his mother.Liu Huaxiang heard the movement and came out to see that her family Guangzong had been beaten. Hearing the scolding from the old couple, he exploded.

The useless air that has been nested for a year will not be able to be suppressed.

Mrs. Li has been an old lady in the city for more than ten years, and her skills of scolding and fighting in the village have long since deteriorated. She also relies on being Li Er's mother, thinking that it is not easy to restrain a daughter-in-law.

But Liu Huaxiang kept catching Li Zhengren and his wife and scolding them, saying that Li Zhengren's hypocrisy, hypocrisy, rotten belly, and heart were paired with that bitch and daughter-in-law, and the bastards he produced were not good things A rotten piece of shit.

How could the old couple of the Li family listen to a daughter-in-law with a foreign surname say that about Li Zhengren?

It was then that they quarreled.

But Liu Huaxiang lost in voice first.Old Madam Li shook her hands angrily, unable to scold or beat her, Li Guangzong protected his mother behind, Liu Huaxiang could continue to scold without stopping.Old Madam Li wiped her tears and looked at the villagers, saying that this daughter-in-law could no longer be married, and that being so unfilial would piss off the old couple.

Old man Li beat his second son and told him to divorce his wife.

"You just listen to your daughter-in-law scolding Zhengren like this? This kind of wicked woman can't stop being clean."

Who knows what to say and listen to when he goes to prefectures and counties every year? San divorced his mother-in-law."

They didn't even call Li Zhengren by his name anymore, and just talked about Li San one by one.

The crowd in the village watched the excitement, and I don't know who said something good.Then old man Li stopped, and said that he would invite the village chief to come and ask the village law to punish this unfilial son.

"Guangzong invite the village chief over here." Li Er said to his son with a sullen face.

He kept thinking about it, he kept thinking about it when he came back from the prefecture and county during the Chinese New Year, his daughter-in-law scolded back and forth, full of anger, could he not?But Li Er still had some leeway, thinking that although his father was partial to Li San, he had not done him any harm in the past.

The main house in the village was completely divided by his family, and the big head of the paddy and dry fields was also divided by his family, and the money was also divided into 16 taels.

On the surface, Li San got 30 taels of silver because he didn't need land in the prefecture or county.When the family was separated, Liu Huaxiang was still muttering, "Mother is still hiding the money from her private house, right?"Li Er also spoke on behalf of his parents, saying that his mother is partial to the third child, and it is okay to give a few taels more. They have taken so much land, how much money can mother save for her private house?It is estimated that there are not many.

Reiji thought so at the time.

In the past, when giving cheap food, it was natural to be affectionate. Looking at the harmony, the two elders also cared about the second son, asking more questions and caring.

Liu Huaxiang has always said that it is to take advantage of his family's rice, so she pretends to boast a few words, so let's wait until this year does not give away rice.Li Er believed it in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it, his parents were not like what his mother-in-law said, right?

It's all Li San's thing, so parents will inevitably be deceived if they live with Li San.

This year, his family will not send rice. Unexpectedly, the second elder came to the door. The second room did not ask about grievances, and did not say how Guangzong was injured. He first came up and beat Guangzong, and said he was not filial. village law.

Why, is this going to kill him?Or do you want to drive him out of the village?

Li Er was really chilled, "The rice of more than ten years, just because of that bastard Li San, spoiled our second room like this, you don't even ask, and you favor Li San."

"You are a beast." Old man Li pointed at Li Er's nose and scolded angrily, "I used to think you were honest, but now it depends on what you did, and you went to the prefecture for a few money, and Zhengren lost it all. Face."

Li Zhengren lost face, Li Er's family of three were beaten and lost money.

It was really cold and dark, and the two neighbors of Li Er's house took out their stoves and gathered together to keep warm.Not long after, the village head and several senior elders in the village came.

When the Li family separated, they wrote a deed of separation, and these are the witnesses.

When old man Li saw the village chief, he opened his mouth and said that Li Er was unfilial and wanted to beat him.Who knew that the village chief ignored old man Li, looked around with a sullen face, and said loudly, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

Those who watched the excitement paid little attention to what happened tonight, and were reluctant to leave. If they were scolded, they would stop talking. Listen.

"What's the matter, brother, come back from the prefecture to celebrate the New Year? It's not right, there is still more than a month to go before the New Year." The village head talked to Old Man Li.

Old man Li said again that Li Er was unfilial and asked the village chief to change the village law.

"How can you be unfilial? Did he beat you or scold you?" the village head asked.

With so many people watching, even if Liu Huaxiang scolded fiercely, it was still scolding Li San's nest, but she didn't scold a word to the old couple.Not to mention that Mrs. Li stretched out her arm and poked Li Guangzong with her finger. Li Guangzong protected his mother and didn't stop her.

Old man Li had just smoked Li Er, but Li Er also stood still and was beaten, and his mouth was not clear.

Why is this unfilial?

"You can't say that Li Er and Liu Huaxiang are not filial. If you are not filial, you have to ask the village law. There is no such reason. If you have to explain clearly, don't get angry." The middleman of the village chief asked.

Old man Li: "Li Er didn't send me food."

"That's my family's food, why give it to that bastard Li San." Liu Huaxiang couldn't help but say something.

Mrs. Li couldn't hear someone scolding her youngest son, so she stretched out her hand and wanted to beat Liu Huaxiang. When Li Guangzong blocked her, she could only beat Li Guangzong a few times. Seeing her son being beaten, Liu Huaxiang scolded Li San as a rotten heart Bad stuff.

So it was noisy again.

Finally, the village head stopped loudly, "What are they talking about?" He said to the eldest son, "Go and see if your Uncle Li has rested. Please come over if you are not resting. Today, everyone is talking clearly. If If you rest, then tell me clearly."

"Hey." The son hurried to invite someone.

Old man Li has been in the prefecture for more than ten years, and he felt something was wrong at this meeting. The village chief didn't treat him well, even though he called him 'Brother Li', his tone was wrong.It stands to reason that Zhengren has great abilities in the prefecture and county, and the village chief should have smiled and greeted the old couple when they came back. Why was he so nice to the boss instead?

Just do it like this and wait for a while. I got bored watching the fire during the period, so I talked about other topics. When will your family kill pigs during the Chinese New Year? Let’s fill it with sausages this year. put the old.

The one said: The jacket that Zhou Zhou made for Grandma Gu last time was beautiful. The fabric was expensive before and I didn’t want it, but now I still want it. Otherwise, I’ll go to the town and we’ll pull a piece back and make a jacket for the doll. It won’t cost much cloth.

Of course adults are reluctant, but it won't take much to do it for children.

The big guys chatted about eating meat, killing chickens, and buying cloth to make clothes. The two old members of the Li family listened to it. When did the old lady Li think that the people in the village would be able to live so well?All bragging and farting stuff.

Mrs. Gang Tian came to knock on the door for warning.

Gu Zhao already knew that he should not go to bed early tonight, seeing that his father's expression was also calm, it was hard to say anything else.

The village chief's son knocked on the door, and Li Da said, "Go and have a look."

Li Zhouzhou and Gu Zhao went together. There was a stove at the door of the second uncle's house, and there were people lighting a pile of firewood, and there were crowds of people around it, which was quite lively.

"Zhou Zhou Gu Shulang is here? Come here to keep warm." An aunt in the village made room for the two of them to come here and bake their hands so they don't get cold.

"Do you want to eat fruit? Freshly fried."

Someone handed the fruit.

Gu Zhao came out and said warmly: "Thank you, aunts and uncles, I don't know what the rules are for my family. Zhou Zhou and I will go over and listen first."

"Hey, okay, go and listen, your family has been divided a long time ago, and there is nothing wrong with your family."

"That's right, just watch the fun."

When Gu Shulang and Zhou Yiyi left, the women chatting here started whispering, and one person said: The old Li family didn't do good things back then, and now they come back to ask for rice. They have taken advantage of it for more than ten years. If you don't take it, you still have to beat people, but don't get involved with everyone in Li.

Another person said: I didn't eat or take a bite of Li San's food, and it has nothing to do with their Li family. If the two elders dare to talk to everyone in Li, I'll tear up that old woman first. I'm afraid of nothing.

The people in Xiping Village sold the grain and took the money. They haven't warmed up for a few days. They are grateful to Li Da's family, and their enthusiasm is high. If you don't protect Li, who will you protect?Do you want to protect those two old men and women who have been gone for more than ten years?

Pooh!

Li Da didn't call the old couple of Li's family in the past, but just greeted the village chief.The old man Li couldn't remember the appearance of his eldest son, but he always looked down on this honest, useless and stupid elder son. Now he doesn't even look at him too much, and he even asks the village chief to help them get justice. Implement the village law on Reiji.

"When everyone is here, I'll just say a few words." The village head raised his hand loudly.

The chatter quieted down.

"15 years ago, the main house of Li's family was separated, and the deed of separation, Li Er, is your share still in place?"

Li Er looked at the mother-in-law, these things are all managed by the mother-in-law.Liu Huaxiang said she was here, and hurried back to the house to get things, and took out the oil lamp and handed it to the village chief.Li Da also took out his share.

The village head also took out a copy from his pocket and said, "This is when the Li family separated, and I left a copy with me. Let the three uncles and grandpas see if it's right?"

Everyone used oil lamps to borrow light, and some of them lit torches. The three elders looked carefully and they were right.

That's right, the village chief returned each of them, read the share in his hand, and said loudly: "In the early spring and March of the 33rd year of Kangjing, Li Gouzi divided the family deed, and had three sons, Li Da, Li Er, Li Zhengren, Dry Field..."

"...Tian Lida has five acres of dry land and a base."

"The Li family doesn't have any silver. Li Er's family gets 16 taels, Li Zhengren 30 taels, and no land."

"Li Gouzi and Mrs. Li live with their third son Li Zhengren, and don't want the fields and the four old houses in Xiping Village..."

Finished reading.

The village chief took the deed of family division and asked: "When you two old people separated, you didn't want a single piece of land. Now you come back to ask for rice. Whose rice is it? It's the land you don't want. Li Er doesn't want it." There is nothing to say about giving rice, you can't just say that Li Er is not filial, and I have never heard of sending food to brothers, if you don't send food, you are not filial, who is this filial? His brother Li San?"

Old man Li can now see clearly that the village chief is helping Li Er.

The old lady Li yelled angrily, saying that the village chief was unfair and favored Li Er from another village, and treated them like this.

Among them, the uncle who had been keeping a quiet voice said: "Mr. Li, when the family was separated, you said that the Li family only had 46 taels of silver, but you missed your mouth during the Chinese New Year. I remember it clearly. It was a total of 88 taels of silver. After a month of work, only 46 taels are left?"

Li Da didn't get a single point.

Li Er divided 16 taels.

But what the old couple clearly held was not 46 taels, but 88 taels.

After Li Er heard the count, the veins on his forehead suddenly popped up and he looked at his parents.

This is his parents.
