Silly Scholar's Wife

The next day, Zhao Huan had just finished packing and went into the house after breakfast.

"Brother-in-law, dad asked you and Chenxi to go to the main room." Mu Chenchu ​​came over to call them, saw that Mu Chenxi was writing and said with a smile: "Third brother, your handwriting is still so beautiful."

"Yeah." Mu Chenxi looked up at him, and said happily: "My wife also said that I write well, and I can make money even if I sell calligraphy in the future."

"Pfft."

Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing out loud. Mu Chenxi's handwriting was indeed good to him, but it was according to his modern standards, except for those works of masters, which were much better than some people who studied calligraphy.

So he encouraged Mu Chenxi to practice calligraphy well, and if he wanted to make money in the future, he could sell calligraphy.I didn't expect him to be serious and tell his second brother about it, which is really a headache.

In the ancient world where brush calligraphy was the main body, and everyone treated calligraphy as their own person, he really didn't know whether Mu Chenxi could really sell calligraphy.

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi entered the main room, and saw a room full of people, except for the Mu family, and two old strangers.

An old man with gray temples, and an upright man in his forties, sat in the main seat calmly and solemnly, with a somewhat oppressive aura.

"Come on, sit down." Father Mu watched them finish their salutes, and pointed to the side for them to sit down.

He looked around, coughed twice and said, "The patriarch and village chief are invited here today to be a witness that our Mu family is separated."

"Old Man"

"father."

"father."

Mother Mu, Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu ​​were shocked, and hurriedly spoke to persuade each other, but Father Mu was unmoved, and waved his hand to signal them not to say any more.

"I'm still the head of the family, so I'm in charge." Father Mu looked at everyone, paused for a while and said, "Chenhui and Chenchu ​​have contributed a lot to the family, and Chenxi has received help from you, so we separated. Regardless of household, allowing you and your son to enjoy benefits such as tax exemption and corvee is also considered a reward for you."

"As for the fields and the money and food provided by the yamen, they are earned by Chen Xi himself, and they all belong to him."

"You still have a younger sister who is not married. Let's take her with you first and count it as one household. Now the house you live in will be allocated according to this."

"Let's talk about the fields. Our family has five acres of paddy fields and nine acres of dry land. I didn't send Chenhui and Chenchu ​​to study. If I owe you, I will give you more fields."

"Chenhui and Chenchu ​​each have one and a half mu of paddy fields, and Chenxi and I each have one mu. Dry fields are divided into two and a half acres for each of Chenhui and Chenchu, and Chenxi and I each have two acres."

"Then there is the silver issue. Chenhui took back more than 28 taels of silver, and paid off the debt of six taels, and now there are more than 22 taels. Our household takes a fraction, and the remaining 20 taels are given to Chenxi ten taels. Chenhui and Chen Chu Five taels per person."

After finishing speaking, Father Mu asked the village head to help write the paperwork, and directly handled the separation of the family by himself, without asking anyone's opinion, let alone whether everyone thought it was reasonable.

After the document was written, he took the lead in pressing his fingerprints, followed by Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu.When Zhao Huan arrived, Father Mu saw that he was about to speak when he patted Mu Chenxi on the shoulder and said something.

Mu Chenxi stood up directly, came to the table, did not press her fingerprints, and directly picked up a brush to sign her name in one go.

"Yo!" The village chief's eyes widened, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut for a long time in surprise, "Chen Xi can still write?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Although the patriarch is old, he is still in good health, probably in his sixties.He glared at the village head unwillingly and said, "We, Chen Xi, just forgot something, and it didn't mean we became stupid, so why can't we write?"

"Yes, yes." The village chief nodded hurriedly, and said with emotion: "Chenxi was smart since she was a child, and she is willing to study hard. Even if she forgets how to write, she can learn it by reading it again."

Not to mention that the village chief is telling the truth, Mu Chenxi is really learning again.It's just that I don't know if it's because he is really extremely intelligent, or because he has an impression in his consciousness, and his fast learning can be said to be extremely fast.

Father Mu finished everything, and then guarded the patriarch and the village head and said something: "The family has been divided today, and you will live your own life in the future. I also think that Chenxi's daughter-in-law is a good girl. If someone takes care of Chenxi, I will take care of her." rest assured."

"However, if someone wants to find trouble with them, I will never let it go. Even if the family is separated, I am your elder. If something really happens, don't blame me for driving you out of the Mu family."

"You think that Chenxi is taking advantage, but what he rewards you is not a star, is it comparable to what you consciously pay?"

"I always see that Chenxi can eat enough, and occasionally he can eat something good when he goes home, but you don't see him eating dry food every day in the academy and eating pickles, and he refuses to buy a little food from the cafeteria."

"Why did this happen to Chenxi? It's not because our family is poor, we can't afford him to study, and we can't let him study with peace of mind."

"Okay, the family is also divided, I won't say more, you all go back."

Father Mu's face was full of frustration. He didn't want to separate the family, but he couldn't make people laugh at him, let alone wrong Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan.

When he failed to convince Mother Mu, the eldest daughter-in-law made such an incident again. After thinking about it for a few days, he finally made up his mind to divide the family and not let the situation develop any further.

Zhao Huan went back to his room and praised Father Mu for his decisiveness. Seeing him keep silent, he understood everything in his heart.

Acting resolutely and justly, it seems that Mu Chenxi suffered some losses, but blocked some people's mouths, making people unable to be picky, and relieved some hidden dangers for Mu Chenxi.

Thinking of the money and grain distributed by the yamen, and the profits from those fields in the village, Zhao Huan laughed silently. Some people really steal chickens and lose money.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Mu Chenxi looked at him with wide eyes and asked curiously.

"In the future, you will have enough food every day, and you will still have money and food. Isn't this something to be happy about?" Zhao Huan was happy, and teased him with jokes. Mu Chenxi might not understand these things, and he didn't think about explaining them to him. .

"Happy." Mu Chenxi nodded, then frowned again, "I don't know how to farm yet, I have to learn."

"what?"

Zhao Huan was taken aback for a moment, not understanding how he said this, and asked, "Why are you learning to farm?"

"Didn't dad give us the land?" He frowned, with a troubled look on his face, "farming the land is very hard, I can't let my daughter-in-law go, I have to learn it."

Zhao Huan was silent for a long time after hearing the words, but there was a warm current slowly surging in his heart. Unexpectedly, Mu Chenxi would think of this matter. In order not to let himself be troubled, he used his low IQ to find a countermeasure.

Now he just treats Mu Chenxi as a companion, even if he takes good care of him, he doesn't have any deep affection, just pass the time unintentionally.

"Let's learn together." Zhao Huan sighed slightly, then smiled, his brows and eyes were full of fighting spirit, as if rejuvenated, and said, "I also learn, and we will take care of this family together in the future."
