Eight zero peasant girl

Chapter 6 Divided into a Mountain
As soon as Chang Yuhong said this, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became a little tense, and even the children who didn't understand anything quieted down instantly.

It's not that no one has mentioned the matter of family separation, it's just that the old man sits in charge and no one dares to mention it.

The Meng family is the only foreign surname in the village. Although the population is large, it is not so easy for a foreign surname to survive in the original surname village. Back then, the old man made a will and forbade separation.For so many years, there have been no conflicts in the family, but they were resolved peacefully in the end, but today, is it really necessary to separate the family?
As time passed by, Li Guiying got up from her seat and wanted to say something, but Meng Huaqing pulled her sleeves.

After a long time, Meng Chengwen looked at the silent second son, and asked blankly, "Second, is this what you mean?"

"Yes, the family must be separated, and the third child is not allowed to be given any land, otherwise the matter will not be considered over."

Hearing what the second brother said became more and more outrageous, Meng Huadong said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, you have passed! We are brothers, and the bones are broken!"

"If the family is not separated, then she must go underground to accompany Ah Cai."

Li Guiying hugged Meng Tang tightly, and refused loudly: "Impossible, don't think about my daughter."

Meng Huaguo ignored Li Guiying's words, and stared straight at Meng Chengwen, full of persecution.

His precious son is dead, no one should think about it, at worst, just don't live!

"Second child, you are a bastard who eats weights, and you are determined to make trouble. Okay, you are promising, fourth child, go to the kitchen and call your wife and the eldest daughter-in-law over, let's discuss the separation of the family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions and started whispering in an instant.

Zhou Xiaoli hurriedly stood up from her chair, and asked in surprise, "Old man, do you really want to separate?"

"Why not? Since they have made up their minds, let them do what they want, old woman, and take out the land deed and the family's money."

Meng Huadong looked at his father who was dazzled by anger, thinking that he was acting in a fit of anger, and repeatedly tried to dissuade him: "Father, the second brother is talking nonsense, don't be angry, we will talk about the separation of the family later."

Meng Chengwen sat tremblingly on the main seat, closed his eyes and waved his hands: "Go and call everyone!"

At noon in summer, the air was dry and hot, and everyone crowded into the narrow hall with breathless concentration, their hearts were like bubbling boiling water, churning up and down.

The calmer the sea, the more frightening it is.

Meng Tang looked around, and after getting a general understanding of the economic situation of the Meng family, she lay down in Li Guiying's arms depressed.

The house is completely bare, and it doesn't look like a wealthy family. It is estimated that it will be broken.
Ah bah, it's just the beginning, why are you thinking so depraved?

Hearing what her husband conveyed, Chen Juan widened her eyes in surprise: "The head of the family, why did the old man suddenly agree to split the family?"

"It's not caused by the second brother. At the beginning, the whole family did not agree with the second sister-in-law's vasectomy, so he insisted on it. Now it's good, it's the last one! The third brother is also miserable, and he has caused such a bad thing." Meng Huadong looked at it. Good food, I tasted two mouthfuls greedily, and commented casually.

"Second sister-in-law is never easy to mess with. I'm afraid this matter will not be kind."

The two walked together in the courtyard, and Meng Huadong told him worriedly: "Damn it, you'll be smarter later, and you can fight for more."

The narrow hall was full of people. Meng Chengwen glanced around and asked loudly, "Is everyone here except the boss?"

"Old man, everyone is here, let's share!" Zhou Xiaoli put the land deed in her hand on the table.

"Since the family is divided, let's make a clear distinction. The family has a total of [-] mu of land, and each family has six mu. I just counted the money. It is about six or seven hundred, and each family has one hundred. As for the chickens, ducks and geese at home, There are three in each family, and the sheep and cows are not separated, what do you have to say?" Meng Chengwen divided the money and land deeds on the table into five equitable shares, and explained both the valuable and the worthless.

Everyone listened with their ears. They didn't expect the old man to divide the family so neatly. For a while, they didn't know how to answer.

After a while, Meng Huaguo was the first to make a suggestion: "Father, you are always in charge of the family in a fair and just manner. I have no objection to such a division, but the third child will compensate me for the land and money allocated to him."

Hearing this, Meng Chengwen stared at Meng Huaguo majestically without saying a word.

"Father, don't look at me like that. I won't change my mind. It's only right and proper to kill people and pay debts. Since the third brother doesn't want his daughter to pay for his life, then paying some money is nothing!"

Zhou Xiaoli didn't wait for Meng Chengwen to reply, and cursed angrily: "Second brother, you are not filial, the third child is your own brother, you are going to force him to death!"

Hearing her husband being scolded, Chang Yuhong retorted unconvinced: "Mother-in-law, you are too partial. Their family killed my son, why should they pay some money?"

"Shut up, you poisonous woman! If you dare to fight again, I will let your natal family come to pick you up."

There is no solution for the matter to come to this point. Meng Chengwen looked at his honest third son with complicated eyes who had never blushed before, and asked in a deep voice, "Sir, what do you think?"

"Father, you are the most knowledgeable person in the family. You must also know that Ah Cai's death has nothing to do with Tangtang, but the second brother's family... Well, if I live alone, I can do whatever I want, but I still have My wife and children need to be raised, and I don’t have any land, so what can I do to support them?”

The plain and bitter answer made Zhou Xiaoli's eyes turn red, and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.

Her three sons were well-behaved and obedient since they were young, hardworking and capable, no matter how heavy the work was, they never complained; when they grew up, they were honest and loyal, and filial to their parents.

Zhou Xiaoli recalled the thoughtfulness and filial piety of her third son over the years, tugged at Meng Chengwen's sleeve, and discussed with him: "Old man, I remember that ten years ago, the old man seemed to give you a land deed before he died, saying that the easternmost The barren mountain belongs to our family, why don't we share that mountain with the third child!"

"No, there are so many trees on the mountain, why give them to him."

Looking at his wife who has been with him for many years, Meng Chengwen looked at Meng Huaguo and others indifferently, and his old voice was full of anger: "The tree is sold, and the money is divided equally. What do you have to say?"

"Can······"

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was about to say something, Meng Huaguo pulled her behind him and asked with a playful smile, "Father, I have no objections, but when will you cut down the tree!"

Looking at the second son who was aggressive one second and got a hippie smile the next, Meng Chengwen glanced away at his face in annoyance, and looked at the others: "What do you think about the separation?"

Looking at his wife who kept silent and kept crying, Meng Huaqing apologized uncomfortably: "Gui Ying, marry me, you have suffered."

Didn't their family divide a mountain, such a happy thing, why are parents so sad?
Meng Tang tilted her head in bewilderment, she had doubts in her heart, but she resisted asking.

I thought the separation of the family would come to an end, but Meng Huadong suddenly stood up and proposed loudly: "Father, I think your separation is a bit unfair. The eldest brother's family has six members, the second brother's family has three members, and the third brother's family has four members." People, there are four people in my family, and the fifth younger brother didn't get married, and the population of each family is different, so how can we divide them evenly, I think it is fair to divide them by head?"

　This big family has too many names, don't be afraid, there will be fewer in the future!
