Peasant girls seek happiness

Chapter 56 The urgency of the second
When eating breakfast, most of the Cheng family looked relaxed.

Before making a decision on some things, he would hesitate and hesitate, but once he made a decision, he would relax. Now the Cheng family is in this mood.

The old lady didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night last night. It was Chu Qi who ran over to live with her with her pillow in her arms. She also said that no matter what she chose, her mother would not blame her for blaming the family. They were very grateful to the family, so she touched it. With granddaughter's hair decided.

"Your father is the eldest son. Although your father is gone, there is still your elder brother! Want to leave grandma out? There is no way!"

Knowing that Cheng Da is gone, it would be better for her to live with grandma and her second son. If she is afraid that Qu's will treat her badly, she can still live with her third son.

Or live alone with the youngest son and daughter, and the filial piety of a few rooms is better than bringing their whole family.

In the eyes of Cheng Er, the two elder brothers who need to study are a burden, but in the eyes of the old lady, they are the hope of the Cheng family.

"Although grandma thinks about your brother and the others being able to honor the family, she doesn't want them to be like your father. It's better if the family is separated. It's better for us to suffer a little bit than to listen to those sarcastic remarks! Your brother is not as deaf as your father is. The ability to be dumb."

Chu Qi couldn't help being happy, "Grandma, you know how cold my parents and the others have been in those years!"

"Why don't you know? But there are a lot of people in the family, and your father and I can only try our best not to let them have more complaints. If we really protect too much, I'm afraid they will be even more dissatisfied with your father..."

After finishing speaking, the old lady realized that something was wrong, and she was afraid that she would have thoughts about her uncles and aunts, so she hurried back to make amends: "It's just that your second aunt is so bad-mouthed, so if you have something to do this time, you will really move forward. Man, it's only a little selfish." Normal, no one is a saint, right?"

"Girl, even if the family is separated, don't you have any thoughts about your second uncle. No matter what you say, they didn't feel sorry for you girls, don't you?"

Cheng Chuqi nodded, "Grandma, I know. It's out of love for people to help us, and it's their duty not to help us. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be willing to help my nephews and nieces to study in vain."

It may be that her unforgiving image is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the old lady is quite relieved to hear her say that.

"It's good that you understand, it's good that you understand."

After the daughters-in-law had packed up, the old lady called everyone into the main room.

"As for the family division, children who are too young don't need to participate. Chun Xiao, you can take them to play. But let the older ones stay, and listen to your uncles and aunts."

In fact, these words are referring to the children of Dafang, and Yunxiu is just incidental.

But the eldest brother is gone, and Yunhui will be the pillar of the big house in the future, so he should listen.

It's impossible for you not to let the child stay in the seventh day of the junior high school.

Chunxiao didn't want to move, and her nephew and niece could stay, so she was paid.

But when she thought about it, she naturally followed her old mother, and none of her brothers would listen to her opinion, so she got up and took the little ones to the east room, and let them play by themselves, while she talked to Xue Yunniang.

The old lady asked her sons: "Have you discussed it with your own wife?"

The sons nodded together. Cheng Liu was originally standing at the end, seeing the brothers in front nodding in unison, he stood opposite Chu Qi.

The old lady smiled and looked at the daughters-in-law: "Have you discussed it?"

The daughters-in-law also nodded.

"Then I'm relieved. Second child, you go ahead!"

Except for Cheng Er, who expressed that he wanted to separate the family, the rest were unwilling to separate.

The old lady asked them: "When your eldest brother was studying, I knew you were dissatisfied..."

She waved her hand to signal her sons not to interrupt: "Don't say you don't have one, then no one is a saint. It's normal to have one!"

Cheng San, Cheng Si and the others fell silent.

The old lady went on to say: "You guys have to think about it, whether it's me or your sister-in-law, it is bound to continue to support Yun Hui and Yun Zong to study. Think about it back then, if you can accept it, you can do whatever you want regardless of family separation." .If you don’t think so, I don’t blame you! You are still my son, and you are still Yunhui’s uncle and aunt after the separation.”

Niu hesitated for a moment, Cheng San hurriedly pulled her sleeve, "Mother~"

The old lady waved her hand: "Let your wife tell."

Niu gritted her teeth, "Mother, I've made up my mind, it doesn't matter!" She rushed the old lady before she could say, "But mother, our family Yun Zhou has also reached the age of entering school, so we have to support him to study. "

The old lady nodded and looked at Fan: "What about you?"

Fan didn't hesitate: "My husband and I are inseparable."

So is Cheng Wu.

The old lady made a final decision. "Okay, then divide the second child's family!"

Cheng Er asked: "Mother, don't you live with me?"

The old lady shook her head: "No, I don't worry about your nephew, your younger brothers will not be separated, if they do, I will follow your sister-in-law's house too."

Cheng Er just hung his head and said nothing, feeling a little uncomfortable, not because the old lady didn't live with him, but because the boss was gone, and the old lady still favored the eldest wife so much.

There are also a few silly younger brothers. He looked for them one by one last night, but they either smiled and said nothing, or refused directly.

Is everyone stunned?
The old lady asked Cheng Liu to go to the village chief, the village chief and some prestigious elders in the village.

She and Cheng Erdao: "No one will lose from the division of the family, and no one will gain something more. This is all we have. The six of you brothers, including your mother and me, the family's land is divided into seven shares, and you get ten. Four acres of land."

These were calculated for her on Chuqi last night.

"In addition, the house you live in will be given to you, and the vegetable garden behind will be cut out for you..."

Before the old lady finished speaking, Cheng Er said, "Mom, I only need fourteen acres of land. Can you convert the house into money and give it to us? I want to rent a house in the county. You know, Yunguang's daughter-in-law has Pregnant, they are young, so it is necessary for me and the child's mother to take care of them..."

The old lady was very surprised. She originally wanted to say something like "Why do you go to the county when you have a place at home? How much does it cost to rent a house in the county", but after hearing that Yunguang's daughter-in-law was pregnant, the words came to her lips. Swallowed it back.

When they first got married, they promised their in-laws that Yunguang's daughter-in-law would not be able to live in the village and work in the field.

Cheng San is simple and honest, and felt that it would cost too much for the second brother to go to the county seat, so he couldn't help persuading him: "Second brother, when you go to the county, you don't even grow vegetables, and you will have to spend money to buy a green onion in the future. The pins are too big."

Cheng Er said, "Yunxiu and I can both go out to find work. Your second sister-in-law takes care of Yunguang's daughter-in-law. When the farming season is busy, we come back to plant the land. Please help my younger brothers to take care of it on weekdays."

Cheng San hurriedly said, "That's what it should be."

The old lady didn't agree with his approach, she asked: "Second brother, you also know that there is no cash at home..."

Cheng Er looked at Yang Shi, "What did sister-in-law say?"

Yang was stunned for a moment, he would ask himself a little unexpectedly.

Cheng Chuqi poked Yunhui's waist and whispered something in his ear.

Yun Hui pursed his lips and stood up, "Grandma, my mother still has a few pieces of jewelry, which are useless to pay off the debt. If the second uncle really wants to cash in, he will sell the jewelry to the second uncle."

The old lady understood what the second son meant by looking at Mrs. Yang.

"Have you thought about it? It's not easy to live in the county town?"

"Yes! Mom, I hope you'll do it all the time."

He insisted, and the old lady stopped persuading her. Lizheng and Village Chief Wang also came, and the old lady asked Niu and others to prepare meals.

"I'm going to trouble you again."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Although it was surprising that the Cheng family was going to split now, and it was even more surprising that only Cheng Er's family would be separated, but no one said anything.

Although the houses are not worth much in the village, they are converted into 20 taels of cash, and the rest are converted into [-] taels of silver.

Although Cheng Er said that he was divided, he still had to give the old lady money for retirement, two bags of wheat a year, which he raised himself.

As for enough?It's not just his son.

No one objected, Yun Hui was writing the separation papers, and Cheng Er said again, "Mother, there is one more thing..."

He was not as forthright as before, and his hesitant appearance made people wonder, so the old lady glared at him: "You are also my son when you are separated, so just say what you have to say, look at how hard you are!"

Cheng Er smiled embarrassedly, "Mom, I want to ask, the money borrowed by the family before..."

The old lady's expression was not very good-looking, "You want to ask when will you pay back the money you borrowed from each house?"

Cheng Er hurriedly said: "Not only this, but also the eldest sister and the others, and the aunt's... It's not that the son wants the family to pay back the money, but the debt must be clearly stated."

The old lady snorted, "Since you have divided the land and the house, you should also share the debt."

Cheng Chuqi stabbed her from behind, then shook his head quietly towards her.

Although it's not very kind of Cheng Er to mention the separation of the family at this time, but from his point of view, there is nothing wrong with it.

Cheng Chuqi felt that it was easy to get together and get together, so there was no need to get stiff.

The old lady snorted again, "But your sister-in-law and the others have said that they will pay back the money themselves."

When Cheng Er heard that the debts were divided, he pulled his face with concern, and when he heard the last sentence, he cupped his fists at Mrs. Yang, "Sister-in-law is refreshing! Our money is not in a hurry."

Mrs. Yang returned the gift, already thinking about how much money the jewelry in her hand could sell for.

Lizheng waited for someone to testify and sign the separation document, and when they stayed at Cheng's house for lunch, Village Chief Wang looked at Cheng Er and sighed, "I never thought that you would split up, oh you..."

Cheng Er sighed: "That's right, I didn't expect it, but I'm already old..."

He didn't continue, Cheng Si changed the subject: "Second brother, from now on you will live in the city, we will have to trouble you when we go to the city, so don't be annoyed by that time."

Cheng Er said with a smile: "How can it be, you just come, and let the mother go to live in the city when the time comes."

The atmosphere seemed to be quite good. After the village chief and others left, Cheng Er said to Mrs. Yang: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, when do you think I will give this money?"

Mrs. Yang had planned to go to the city tomorrow to pawn or sell those jewelry, so she told him when she saw that he was in such a hurry, Cheng Er said: "Tomorrow we will go to the city together, and we will go to the Lizheng, which happens to take away our room. The household registration is divided out."

The old lady was a little unhappy when she heard it in the room, and it was too urgent.

Chu Qi and Chun Xiao, who were with her, looked at each other and persuaded: "Grandma, anyway, we have to share early and late, so it's good."

"Yeah, mother, you don't have to worry about it once it happens. Besides, Yunguang's daughter-in-law is almost pregnant, so my second brother should be worried."

Yang took out all the jewelry, Chu Qi asked: "Mother, let me help you choose!"

Yang picked out a pair of silver earrings and a silver hairpin from the middle, both of which were very small, and the total amount was only more than one tael of silver.

She wrapped up the rest, "No need, mother plans to keep these for your sister, and sell the rest."

The first day of junior high school has reached the age of marriage, and the family is now like this, and it is impossible to save any more money in a few years, in case she wants to get married but has no dowry...

Yang Shi was worried when she thought about it, so she left some selfishness for her to leave such a difference.

The jewelry that Cheng Da gave her was also worth 30 taels. Originally, she planned to sell it for the children to study, but she didn't expect to develop to this point before mentioning it.

She also thought about it on the first day of junior high school, and she asked a little confused: "If we had sold it earlier, wouldn't the second uncle not have separated?"

Chu Qi replied without thinking, "No."

"why?"

"Because Second Uncle has already planned to divide the family!" Chu Qi lit the jewelry: "How much money can I get if I sell them all?"

Yang pondered: "I guess it can be sold for 25 six taels!"

"The last time my mother took it out, everyone in the family knew about these jewelry, and my mother also said that she would support my brother and Yunzong to study, but the second uncle still wanted to separate the family, which showed that he was determined to separate the family. After all, the money It’s enough for three or four years, so we have to save it.”

After Yang and Cheng Wu went to the silver building and the pawnshop to inquire, they still sold it to the silver building.

The main reason is that the jewelry is brand new, and the discount in the pawnshop is too high to sell at a high price. On the contrary, the silver shop, because it is new, does not need to be refurbished, and the price given is very straightforward.

26 taels of silver, only one tael left after giving to Cheng Er.

Yang gave the money to the old lady.

Cheng Er got a new household registration, and when he returned home, he happily announced: "Moving tomorrow!"

Seeing that he was in a hurry to divide the households, everyone guessed it. Cheng Si still couldn't help but sneer at him: "Second brother, your speed is good enough. The houses in this city are so easy to rent? How many hours are you renting?" Appropriate."

Cheng Er wanted to hide the joy on his face, but he was so happy that his face was distorted.

He laughed twice: "No, it's just such a coincidence. It just so happens that my friend is going on a long trip, and the house is vacant, so I rent it to me cheaply."

Qu asked curiously, "How much is the rent?"

Although she really wanted to live in the city, she felt very reluctant to spend a lot of money outside.

Cheng Er gave her a dark look, stupid woman!
He laughed and didn't answer Qu's words, but said to Cheng San and his younger brothers: "Tomorrow, you will help me move, and when I go to the city in the future, I will go to the second brother's place. The second brother dare not say anything else, but there is no food and lodging." questionable."

Cheng Er only wanted the belongings in his own house, and lost the rest of the money, so he borrowed Village Chief Wang's ox cart for the family's ox cart, and moved it all in one trip.

The brothers were about to leave, but Cheng Er had already gone to the restaurant to order some food and drinks, "Why are you leaving? I'm just a separate family and not a descendant of the clan, so what are you doing so politely? I'll stay at the second brother's house to burn the bottom of the pot today."

The brothers looked at the sumptuous food and wine on the table, then at Cheng Yunguang's father-in-law, Xiaofang's father-in-law and husband-in-law, and Chen Dalang, who was praised and didn't know the north, south, east, west, and north. They looked at each other and sat down.
