My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 357
Although Xie Xin said this, it still scared the Cao family.

As soon as Xie Xin left, Mrs. Cao called Cao Sanlang to the ancestral hall, "I said at the beginning that I could not marry the concubine who had given birth to a child, but you refused to listen. Now, are you okay? Are you going to kill our family?"

The more Mrs. Cao spoke, the more regret she felt.

She shouldn't have softened her heart then.

After the son made a fuss, he agreed to let his son marry the concubine of the Meng family.

Cao Sanlang knelt on the ground, "Mom, my son was deceived by her at first. The Meng family kept it a secret, and his son didn't even know that his mother was a woman from the land of fireworks. He thought that her mother was really a damsel in distress. Although she She is a concubine, but a woman raised by a noble family is never too bad. Who knew that she would do such a thing with such short-sightedness? Don't worry, I will divorce her now, and she will definitely bring trouble to Cao Cao. Home."

Mrs. Cao was filled with disappointment when she saw this son who put all the responsibilities on his wife.

If he could realize his mistake at this time and then find a way to remedy it, he would be somewhat responsible.

But he was determined to marry Meng at that time. After entering the house, he did not teach his wife properly. Instead, she was just like his wife, short-sighted, not practical, and only thought about benefits.

Now that something happened, all the blame was put on the woman.

This son of hers is really a waste.

Mrs. Cao was heartbroken, "Do you think it's enough to divorce the Meng family? Brother Rui's children have such a mother, and they will not be able to raise their heads as adults in the future. The other children of the Cao family will also be implicated."

Cao Sanlang had a bad feeling in his heart, "What does the mother mean?"

Mrs. Cao sighed and said, "I'll call your eldest and second brothers here later and let's separate the families!"

In fact, my husband has long been disappointed with the second and third bedrooms, and has long thought of separating the family.

It was her kindness as a woman that she didn't listen to her husband and wanted him to protect them for a few more years.

Unexpectedly, because of her kindness as a woman, she almost harmed the entire Cao family.

Cao Sanlang suddenly felt panicked, "Mom, how can we separate the families? If this spreads out, wouldn't it mean that the sons are unfilial?"

Except for Cao Lesheng, the three sons of the Cao family have no talent in developing weapons.

Although Cao Dalang did not have the talent to develop weapons, he was quite stable and willing to live a down-to-earth life.

But Cao Erlang and Cao Sanlang were incompetent, but their hearts were as high as the sky.

He didn't study hard and was afraid of hardship when learning martial arts, so he found a job with Cao Lesheng, spending three days fishing and two days casting nets to get by.

With his temperament, he could barely get along in the capital, but when he arrived in Lingnan, he couldn't get along at all.The family's livelihood depends entirely on the public school.

"Do you think it will be nice if we don't separate the families and spread the word? Okay, I have made up my mind, you don't need to say any more. If you are really filial, just kneel down and reflect, think about how to live your life in the future, and don't give me any more Your father and I are embarrassed.”

Mrs. Cao sighed again after speaking. Her son is already so old and his character has been developed long ago. Now...

I'm afraid it's too late to say anything.

When ordinary people separate their families, they have to ask the elders of the clan to serve as witnesses.But the Cao family members did not move to Baodao together.

Cao Lesheng thought for a while and finally found a few local officials to serve as witnesses.

Witnessed by local officials, the Cao family quickly split up.The Cao family was already in decline and did not have much property.

After coming to Lingnan, although Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang often rewarded Cao Lesheng, except for Cao Dalang, who was assigned to do odd jobs in the weapons factory because of his honest duty, the other two brothers in the Cao family had no assistants and had to rely on their old age.In addition, the Cao family had not been in Lingnan for a long time, and the family spent a lot of money, so there was not much money left.

Except for the house allocated to them by the government, all the money of the Cao family was divided into four parts, with Cao Lesheng, his wife and the three-bedroom people each having one share.

Family separation is rare in this era, not to mention the way the Cao family is divided is even more strange.

Where can someone split up their family and not even have a son stay with them to provide for them in old age?

The officials who came to serve as witnesses were all puzzled, and some even advised Cao Lesheng to keep a son by his side for retirement.

But Cao Lesheng had already made up his mind and said that was all.

However, he didn't just give up on his sons. Instead, he set a timetable for his grandchildren to report to him every two days. He wanted to personally test the homework of several people in the school.

Whoever performs best and can pass on his mantle will be provided with a pension until the end of his life, and all his wealth will belong to him.

Originally, Cao Erlang and Cao Sanlang seemed to have lost their souls because of the separation of their families. After listening to their father's words, they seemed to see hope again and began to study hard with their children.

Without Cao Lesheng as their father to rely on, the two of them had to bear the responsibility for their daily expenses.

Although some family wealth has been divided, we still have to buy a house.

After buying a house, there is not much money, rice and food left in hand.

The two brothers also had to put down their dignity and go find work outside.It feels much more practical than before.

On the other side, after Lu Shiyan arrested Cao Mengshi, he did not arrange for others to interrogate her, but went to interrogate her himself.

Meng was frightened, and Lu Shiyan asked everything without any effort.

Meng passed the news to Xiao Ye because she always felt that the throne still belonged to the Xiao family and had nothing to do with the Lu family.

She wanted to rely on her contribution to delivering the news to Xiao Ye, and in the future she would be able to have a place in the top elite circles of the capital, so that she could be proud and proud, and become a noble lady that everyone would envy.

But she was not a smart person. She just passed on all the information she knew, but she did not almost spy on Jiang Tangtang's secrets through these messages like Xiao Ye did.

Even so, Lu Shiyan did not let her live.

When Cao Sanlang received the news of Meng's death, he was not very sad, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't have to worry about finding a reason to divorce Meng.

Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang also did not inform the outside world that Meng's work was done carefully.This allowed the Cao family to save face, and future generations of the Cao family would not be affected by the Meng family.

Cao Lesheng was even more grateful to Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan, and he was even more attentive to the weapons institute and oil workshop.

After being busy at the oil workshop for many days, Jiang Tangtang finally had time to talk to Su about some of his thoughts on cacti.

Su was a little excited in her heart, "You mean to make cacti into canned pickles and sell them. If the sales effect is good, you can open a workshop in the future, and you don't need to pull out the cacti planted in the ground and continue to grow them?"

"You can also pull them out and plant them elsewhere. Cacti are very easy to grow, have low soil requirements, and are drought-tolerant. There should be many places suitable for cactus planting on the island."

Jiang Tangtang said: "The piles of rocks on the island, or the city walls. The cactus is covered with thorns, which may also bring unexpected defensive effects. But this is just what I think about. Whether it can be done depends on first You won’t know until you try it.”

When it comes to defense, Jiang Tangtang doesn't dare to be careless at all.Therefore, I feel that the idea of ​​planting cacti on the exterior walls still needs to be tested before it can be implemented.
