During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 12
Li Peilan: I didn’t want to kill anyone!
No matter what she thought, the people in the clan thought she was desperate to kill someone, so a few strong men stepped forward and tied her up, throwing her behind the ancestral hall. A few aunts with quick hands and feet watched her. .

When Jiang Yongguo saw this, he begged for mercy, "Clan leader..."

The seventh uncle said slowly, "Why do you want to accompany your wife?"

"..."

Jiang Yongguo's face turned pale and he waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no need."

The subsequent separation process was much smoother.

Finally, under the auspices of the clan leader, the clan's eldest house was left to the brother and sister, and all the land in the family belonged to Jiang Yongguo and his wife. In addition, the brother and sister had to give Mrs. Jiang [-] yuan at the end of each year. Money is used as pension money.

The last one was added by Uncle Jiang Wu, euphemistically saying it was for the sake of Jiang Qian's reputation.

Everyone knows that Li Peilan is the housekeeper, and the brother and sister probably don't even have five hundred cents, let alone five hundred cents. This is obviously to embarrass Jiang Qian.

"Aqian, do you have money?" Mrs. Jiang asked weakly, but there was excitement in her eyes.

Jiang Qian said nothing, and Jiang Miao was a little worried.

Jiang Yongguo frowned and said: "How can you two make money without land? Let alone five hundred cash, even eating is a problem. Don't risk your life just because of a moment of anger."

"..."

"It's still too late to tell the clan leader that we won't separate our families. As your uncle, I won't embarrass you."

Jiang Yongguo gloated that as long as Jiang Qian couldn't pay, they couldn't separate the family, and they would still live in the house. When the two little boys died, the house would naturally belong to him.

Jiang Qian pursed his lips slightly, "You don't need to worry about this, Second Uncle. Amiao and I will find ways to make money. Instead of worrying about us, Second Uncle might as well think about how to get the money back. After all, it's not a small sum." The amount, with that money is enough for you to build seven large brick and tile houses."

Yes, there are still 150 taels left at Li's house. If I can get this money, I won't have to worry about food and drink.

Jiang Yongguo was a little anxious to go to Li's house to ask for money, so he fingerprinted the family separation agreement without even reading it.

Patriarch Jiang saw what Jiang Qian added later, thought about it and did not say a word to remind him.

It wasn't until the separation was over that Mrs. Jiang realized what she was doing and looked at Jiang Qian with a sad face, "A Qian, do you and A Miao really care about grandma?"

Jiang Qian calmly put away the family separation agreement and spoke slowly, "If grandma wants to stay in the big house, it's not impossible, but the second uncle has to return the 100 taels to us."

Even thinking about it, I knew it was impossible, "Does it have to be like this? A good family is divided like this. Your father will definitely be sad if he finds out."

Jiang Miao puffed up her face and said, "Dad won't be sad. He will definitely be happy for us. No one will beat us or bully us again. Grandma, you'd better go back and pack your clothes quickly. The patriarch has said that we will be here today." We have to move away. If we break the rules in the clan, I'm afraid my second uncle will come to accompany my second aunt."

She also wanted to persuade her two children. Mrs. Jiang always felt that the two children in the eldest family were smart and sensible. Even if the family was separated, they would not ignore her. She would wait for a suitable opportunity to let the second child live with her family. Just come back.

But I didn't expect them to be so stubborn.

"Amiao, you also know that your second uncle is afraid of his wife. How can he have so much money? Your second aunt is in charge of the house, and your second uncle can't give it to you even if he wants to!"

Jiang Miao was heartbroken, even if Jiang Yongguo could take it out, he would never give it to them.

So he said rudely, "Grandma, are you trying to rely on me and my eldest brother without giving you money?"

Mrs. Jiang blushed, held Jiang Miao's hand, and looked at her kindly, "Ah Miao won't care about me, right?" Jiang Miao nodded with a smile, "Grandma is right, you are mine. How could I not care about you, dear grandma, but if that’s the case, I’m afraid the family will have to be divided again. Originally, I thought the second uncle and second aunt took up a bit too much, so we should allocate some land to us.”

Mrs. Jiang: "..."

Jiang Qian laughed out loud.

Mrs. Jiang quickly retracted her hand, her throat was like a hard and astringent raw persimmon, "You're so ignorant."

"Your other two grandsons are sensible, you should go find them."

Mrs. Jiang couldn't defeat Jiang Miao, and finally followed Jiang Yongguo back in despair.

Uncle Jiu shook his head in shock, "This is what I did. Ah Qian and Amiao are such good children. If Chen can protect them, they won't end up having to move."

The seventh uncle snorted, with disdain on his face, "Their family has never had a good wife from the beginning. Each generation is not as good as the last. You see, their family will have to look for a bigger house in the future."

Patriarch Jiang came over and asked: "Uncle Qi, where do you start with this? Ah Qian's leg is so bad that he will not be able to take the imperial examination in the future, and he will not be able to do physical work. I am afraid that the family will have to rely on Ah Miao in the future. But what can a little girl like Amiao do?"

The seventh uncle glanced at him and smiled meaningfully, "A Qian has been smart since he was a child. Since he can earn 200 taels to support himself, is it still a problem? Besides, do you think A Qian is that stupid?"

"Does Uncle Qi know something?"

"What do I know? I'm just guessing. If you don't believe me, just watch."

After speaking, he patted the dust on his clothes and left humming a tune, paying no attention to Chief Jiang.

Uncle Jiu said with a smile: "Village Chief, don't be angry. Brother Qi had this temperament when he was young. He always liked to say half of what he said. But having said that, what he said has never disappointed anyone."

The implication is that he is also optimistic about Dafang's children.

"Uncle Jiu, do you also think that Jiang Qian is more promising than Jiang Fei and his brothers?"

Ninth Uncle is second only to Seventh Uncle in the clan. He is not as flamboyant as Seventh Uncle. He spends most of his time doing peacemaking, but the clan leader knows that his abilities are no worse than Seventh Uncle.

"Patriarch, I can't say for sure, but in the past, A Qian lived with his second wife, and it didn't matter if he suffered a little. After all, you can't take care of other people's homes. But in the future, when A Qian becomes the head of the household, you have to take care of him. "

Chief Jiang heard what he meant and nodded cautiously, "Uncle Jiu, don't worry, I've already sent someone to watch Jiang Yongguo move."

"That's good."

After saying that, Uncle Jiu also left.

Jiang Yongguo rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home to find money, and finally found only seven or eight taels of silver. Where did the remaining 30 taels go?

"This stinky bitch must have given the money to her mother's family."

"Dad, I know where mom's money is."

Jiang Fei appeared out of nowhere and hooked his hand towards Jiang Yongguo. The father and son finally found 20 taels of silver in a jar in the kitchen.
