After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 1

In Hedong Village, the Lin family gathered in the yard early in the morning without waiting for dinner, each with their own thoughts.

Last year, Dilong turned over, and this year, it didn't rain a lot after the summer. After paying the imperial court's [-]% of the land tax, there were only about [-] catties of grain left in the family.

Mrs. Lin coughed, and Mr. Lin's body shook twice, and he tapped the pipe on the sole of his shoe.

"I brought you together early in the morning because I have something to say. After paying the land tax this year, there are only more than 300 catties of grain left. There are more than a dozen mouths in the family. Let alone next year's autumn harvest, can we survive this winter?" It’s hard to say, but your mother and I thought that instead of starving to death together, it’s better to divide this family, and we can eat rice bran or steamed buns based on our own ability.”

"Your father is right, we are all old and can't take care of the big family, especially those who are lazy at work and don't have enough to eat!"

Mrs. Lin was talking, her big eyes aimed straight at Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu, "Your father and mother left early, the family is not easy now, Xiaoman is sixteen and still refuses to marry, and the family also raises I can't afford to have so many idlers. Don't blame your grandparents for being cruel. Three hundred catties of food are divided into thirteen shares according to the head of the family, and you and your sister will get two shares. The house at home was built after your parents passed away, so don't you siblings After thinking about it, you will move to live in the old house later, and the two acres of land in front of the gate will be distributed to you."

Lin Erhu stared blankly, "Grandma, if you want to separate me and my sister, just say so, you don't have to blame Sang Huai!"

"What do you mean being lazy at work? What do you mean you don't have enough food?"

"Which time did you buy meat and kill chickens without paying me and my sister? My sister is sixteen, but our parents died last year to save our grandparents. We are still in filial piety, so you force me It doesn’t make sense for my sister to marry an old widower in his 30s.”

"You said that my sister eats a lot, why don't you say that my sister has great strength, and one can do three good old men?"

"I can't do the work in the field, but I didn't carry the firewood back from the mountain? Why don't you say that the uncle's family went to the field nine times out of ten and couldn't find anyone? We can't do it without the support of our parents. Dirty water was poured on us."

Lin Erhu babbled, and the uncle of the Lin family slapped the table angrily, "Little brat, why do you talk to elders like this? What do you mean by going to the ground ten times and nine times to find someone? Your cousin is studying in the academy." , do you still want him to put down his studies and do mud legs?"

"Hmph, my cousin is studying, so are my uncle and auntie? My cousins ​​are also studying? Besides, isn't the grandma pouring dirty water on us first? Learned."

Granny Lin patted her thigh and howled, "God, he blamed me and the old man for killing his parents. The second child is also the flesh that fell from my body. Doesn't my heart hurt? What crime did I do? If I knew that the second daughter-in-law gave birth to such a thing, she should have thrown it into the urine pot and drowned when she was born! I don’t have to wait until half buried in the soil to suffer this bird’s breath.”

Lin Erhu was about to speak, but Lin Xiaoman pulled the hem of his clothes behind him, motioning him to stop talking.

Lin Erhu was obedient, shut his mouth, and turned his head to the side angrily.

Lin Xiaoman got up and blessed Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin, "Grandma, since you have already decided to separate the family, it is useless for me and Erhu to talk about it. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so go and invite the patriarch here." , Let the patriarch be a witness, how to divide this family, I will listen to the patriarch."

Mrs. Lin immediately stopped howling, "It's her own business to divide the family. What kind of patriarch is invited? You are the patriarch's old foolish father who is facing you, and you dare to open your mouth like a lion? I will add some more for you, and add [-] catties." Food, there is no more than one or two!"

Lin Xiaoman smiled faintly, "It's fine if you don't invite the patriarch. In addition to the sixty catties of grain, we also have to take away my mother's dowry. The Babu bed in the grandparents' house, the chest in the uncle's house, the three uncles and three The tables and chairs in my aunt's house, and an iron pot, and a copper basin..."

"Why don't you go snatch it?" Mrs. Lin jumped three feet high, her eyes staring like copper bells, "After entering the Lin family, your mother belongs to the Lin family, there is no way to take her away!"

Lin Xiaoman was not annoyed, but just smiled sweetly and said: "According to the law of this dynasty, when the mother is gone, the dowry should be inherited by the parents and daughters. Our house is not dead. If my grandmother refuses to return my mother's dowry, I will just let you go." I can invite the patriarch to uphold justice. I have the dowry list of my mother when she married into the Lin family. In addition to what I said, there are eight dowry items. The silver hairpin on the teat, the scorpion on the uncle’s hand, The pair of bracelets in the cousin’s dowry, the [-] acres of paddy fields planted by the Lin family... When the patriarch comes, I will take out the list and match them one by one, and then go to the cousin’s mother-in-law’s house to match the pair.”

Mrs. Lin wanted to touch the silver hairpin on her head. Since the second child was gone, she took the dowry from the second daughter-in-law. When would she ever go out wearing this silver hairpin without being envied by others?
It is still impossible to return, there is no door!
The old lady's face was flushed, and in the end she could only utter a curse: "Here you are! I'll give it all to you! Disobedient and unfilial dog!"

The news of the separation of the Lin family early in the morning quickly spread throughout Hedong Village. The former patriarch Lin Youwang got the news and brought his current patriarch's son, Lin Daqiang, and called a few strong peasants to catch up with his family's ox cart. help.

Lin Erhu directed the removal of boxes, cabinets and beds in the yard, while Lin Xiaoman was busy packing her and Lin Erhu's tattered clothes.

When their parents passed away, their siblings were only concerned with being sad. How could they have expected that their grandparents, who had always been sweet to death, would not be human?
When she came back to her senses, her mother's dowry was hidden, and she only said that she couldn't find it.

There were too many people coming and going in and out of the house that day, and Lin Xiaoman and his brother didn't expect that the grandparents their parents risked their lives to save would not behave like human beings, but just treat their things as being stolen.

If it wasn't for the fact that her cousin got married last year, and she saw her mother's things in the dowry, she still couldn't believe that grandma would do such a thing.

In the end, Lin Xiaoman only packed up two packs of rags, although they couldn't be worn any more, it wouldn't be cheap to use them as a rag.

Seeing Lin Youwang approaching, Lin Erhu ran over, "Second Grandpa, my grandma said you are a fool, and the separation of the family will not let me and my sister go to you to make decisions."

Lin Youwang was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he stood in the yard and yelled: "You two are so old, you have lived your life in vain, it wasn't that the second daughter-in-law married in back then, and you don't know where your family is. Begging, now that the couple are gone to save the two of you from dying, you bully other people's children, and you are not afraid that the second couple will come up to settle accounts with you in the middle of the night."

Although Lin Youwang hasn't been the patriarch for many years, the current patriarch is his son. When they were jumping and scolding, old man Lin and old lady Lin hid in the house and dared not answer a word.

Mrs. Lin looked at the bed that had been dismantled into pieces by the carpenter, and felt distressed, "It's a good bed, and it's not broken, so it's just moved away?"

"Then what can I do? Don't let me move the bed, and ask you for the dowry of the second daughter-in-law?"

"The goddamned little beasts all learned from their mother, that little whore of He Shi. They shouldn't have been allowed to give birth to them in the first place."

Mrs. Lin talked about a little whore. Old man Lin heard his head buzzing, and Lin Youwang was also scolding outside. Where can I find a quiet place?
