Xianggui

Chapter 95
After dinner, there was a faint cry of a child.

It belongs to Ding Sifu.

Ding Xiang looked at Grandpa and Dad pleadingly.

Ding Zhuang stood up and said to Ding Zhao, "The bigger the house is, the more noisy it is, the more shameful it is. How can you beat the child like this. Sifu helped Lilai, and we have to pay back this favor. Bring two taels of silver and two chickens to thank Sifu Fu. Then call the third child and Xia Lizheng, and talk about it together."

Ding Xiang said, "I'll go too."

The father and son said in unison, "No."

Lilacs linger in the yard.

It was getting dark, and the autumn wind was rustling the leaves.

Half an hour later, the crying of the child stopped, and Ding Xiang was relieved to accompany Ding Li.

Mrs. Zhang nodded her little head with a smile, "Little man."

Ding Lilai said proudly, "My father has already seen that my sister is a 'villain'."

When Ding Chi Zhang was mentioned, he became angry, and his smile faded.

After more than half an hour, Ding Zhuang and his son came back, followed by Ding Sifu who was limping.

His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he smiled happily, and his eyes were swollen into lines.

Ding Xiang went out and asked, "Brother Sifu is coming to live at my house?"

Ding Zhuang picked her up and said with a smile, "From tomorrow, Si Fu will be an apprentice in the iron shop."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Ding Sifu's small body, "Can he forge iron?"

Ding Zhao talked about it.

Ding Youcai and Mrs. Wang ran to the Hao family to ask for someone, but the Hao family said that Brother Ding Pan did not come.Not to mention the granddaughter, even Hao's daughter is not recognized by his family.

The neighbors all came to testify that Ding Pandi had never been there.

Ding Youcai and the others were helpless, so they went home and interrogated Ding Sifu.

Ding Sifu didn't know that he was beaten to death, but Ding Youcai and his wife were so angry that they beat him to death.Ding Sanfu didn't dare to hit him in front of his parents, and scolded Ding Sifu for his bad conscience with snot and tears, which made him lose a good wife.

Seeing that Ding Sifu was beaten so badly that his voice was hoarse from crying, Ding Zhuang was very angry.

Ding Zhuang pointed to Ding Li who came out to greet him and said, "Worthless, you don't care if the family is in trouble like this?"

Ding Li said with a dull face, "There is a wicked woman in the house, what should I do?"

Sitting on the ground, Mrs. Wang burst into tears, "My life is miserable, Mrs. Hao killed and disabled my two sons. Her own daughter even ran away..."

Xia Lizheng said, "Mr. Hao has already received retribution for committing crimes and breaking the law. He was beaten and dispatched. Your vengeance has been avenged, and you have made a lot of trouble. Do you think Mrs. Hao attempted to kill someone and wants to take another life?"

Wang cried, "It's useless to be married. My son is ruined. I can't earn money and marry a wife. Who do I go to?"

Ding Sanfu wiped his tears and said, "If my mother sells Brother Pan to a kiln, at least she can sell it for [-] taels of silver. If she runs away, I won't be able to find a wife."

Ding Shan frowned so much that he could kill a mosquito, ignored the mother and son, and said to Ding Youcai, "Youcai, the fourth richest man is also your own son. He didn't know that brother Pan would run away, so he couldn't beat him to death, right? "

Ding Zhao also said, "Brother, sister-in-law, the fourth rich is also a victim, more miserable than you, why bother to treat him like this." He also handed over two taels of silver and two chickens to Ding Youcai, "The fourth rich helped Li Lai, This is a thank you."

Ding Youcai, Ding Li, and Wang Shi all had a smile on their faces.

When Ding Sifu saw Ding Zhuang, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.

Bearing the pain, he walked in front of Ding Zhuang, knelt down and cried, "I beg Second Grandfather to help me. Although I am crippled, I am still diligent and sweet-mouthed. Can you help me find a job as an apprentice. I will never marry a wife for the rest of my life. I will also save enough eight taels of silver for my third brother to marry a wife."

The six-year-old child said these words, which made Ding Zhuang and the elders feel sad.

Ding Youcai said, "Normal children have to be apprentices at the age of eight or nine. You are only six years old, short and lame. Who wants you?"

He glanced at Ding Zhuang with his small eyes, hoping that Ding Zhuang could help his disabled son find a way out.

Ding Zhuang looked at Sifu's small body, no one would want him to be an apprentice even if he was eight or nine years old.He was beaten so badly that he didn't tell where Brother Pan and Xiang Xiang participated in it. He is a good boy who is benevolent and righteous.

Moreover, this kid is really smart, as long as you help him, he can grow up and support himself.

Ding Zhuang said, "For the time being, Sifu should go to the iron shop as an apprentice, live in the shop with me, provide three meals, and pay fifty yuan a month. When he grows up, let him learn what suits him. craftsmanship."

As apprentices, they only paid for food and did not give money. The reason why Ding Zhuang was willing to give money was because he was afraid that Ding Sifu would be secretly beaten to death by Ding Sanfu——suffering.The family and Ding Sanfu will only let him go if Ding Sifu saves enough eight taels of silver.

Although Ding Zhuang was able to pay the eight taels of silver for Ding Sifu, he couldn't give it so happily.They gave it happily, and they would find other excuses to continue asking Ding Sifu for money.

Everyone knew that Ding Zhuang took a freelancer to the shop.

Ding Sifu wept with joy, kowtowed his head and said, "Thank you Second Grandpa, I will work hard."

Except for Ding Youshou, everyone in the Ding family was happy, including Ding Sanfu who was crying.Starting to make money at such a young age, eight taels of silver can definitely make enough.Moreover, I don't have to support this little cripple who eats rice.

Ding Zhuang was not in the mood to suffer, so he pointed to the two taels of silver in Ding Youcai's hand and said, "The fourth rich man said he wanted to save up to eight taels of silver, and I gave him the two taels of silver. You take the two taels first, Only six taels left."

Mrs. Wang got up from the ground and said, "Second uncle, third uncle, and Lizheng are all here. Please be a witness. We are going to separate from Ding Youshou. His wife killed my two sons, and her daughter ran away." No, our family doesn't want to live on the same roof as him..."

Ding Youshou was unwilling, and roared with his eyes puffed up, "Father is still alive, so we can't separate the family."

Ding Youcai is also determined to separate the family.

Ding Shan also agreed.Ruo Ding lives at home for a long time, and this home will never be peaceful.Divide the family first, and they will go to the Yamen to transfer ownership after they die.

Ding Youcai and his wife also proposed that as compensation to Ding Sanfu and Ding Sifu, Ding Youshou must leave the house completely.

Ding Youshou was even more unwilling, so he jumped and cursed.

Xia Lizheng said to Mrs. Wang, "Leave a way out for others. Your mother-in-law instigated Mrs. Hao to harm Lilac. You are the reason why Mrs. Hao harmed the third and fourth riches. If you don't make trouble, you won't bully Mrs. Hao." , and she won't show her hatred for you on the two children. Now that you don't give Youshou a way to live, aren't you afraid of driving him into a hurry like Hao Shi?"

Ding Youcai and Wang Shi were afraid.

In the end, it was agreed that for the family's four acres of land, four pennies, and five chickens, Ding Li would keep three pennies to live with Ding Youcai.

Ding Youcai has three acres of land, this yard, and five chickens.

Ding Youshou was given money for an acre of land, and he was asked to renovate the dilapidated houses at the head of the village and live there.

Ding Youshou also wanted to share the money Ding Zhao gave Ding Youcai just now.

Ding Youcai returned the silver to Ding Zhao with a sullen face, "Give it to me after the house is divided."

Ding Youshou was speechless.

Ding Zhao wrote the family separation document, and the parties and witnesses signed their fingerprints.
