Fertile land

Chapter 27

Lao Li and his wife looked at him warily, "Daqiang, do you really want to abandon your parents with your wife?"

Li Daqiang gave them a comforting look and said respectfully,

"Li Zuzu, Zhao Zuzu, and Uncle Li, this is a matter of great power and unfilial piety. Filial piety comes first. Parents should not separate their families while they are still alive!"

"As the eldest son of the family, I cannot mess with the tradition of ancestral order! Let the young and old in the village poke my parents' backs!"

It is very shameful for children to have private property while their parents are still alive...

Mr. Zhou, Lao Litou, breathed a sigh of relief. His efforts in teaching him were not in vain. The eldest son was considered the most obedient in the family.

"Li Daqiang, you are such a coward and a waste, you don't want to separate families? Your own wife and children can't live anymore. How can you care about those clichés and hypocritical so-called filial piety?"

Little Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she was almost bleeding and going crazy. She was devoted to this family and wanted to jump out of this quagmire and find a future for her children...

But what he was thinking about was the ridiculous filial piety. Would it allow him to make money, or would it keep them fed and drunk?
"My energy, time, and your strength should be used on our own little family, wouldn't it?"

"At that time, we will still be living like pigs and dogs, like low-level sluts? Are we just fighting for food and serving others?"

"The whole family drags us along, and even after making money, they stick to the next one first. Doesn't it matter whether our family is lucky or Muqing's future is good? As the boss, do we deserve what we deserve?"

Li Daqiang's face was filled with green energy, with a trace of ferociousness on his face, and he said,
"Shut up!"

"Our old Li family is not harmonious just because we have an eldest daughter-in-law like you. We are a family. Our bones are broken and our tendons are connected. I, Li Daqiang, am the eldest son of the family. I should be filial and support my parents and help my brothers and sisters."

"Haha, you should. What exactly should you do? Every time you do this, will you go eat shit when your parents ask you to?"

"You, a foolish woman cannot be cared for! Huh! My parents are also doing this for the good of this family and for us!"

Li Daqiang clenched his fists and held back. Xiao Zhou's words were like digging up his ancestral grave!
"Bah! You selfish little hooves are not there to sow discord. Our great strength crawled out of my belly. You want to assign and control him, no way!"

Ms. Zhou spat at Mr. Zhou, her eyes flashing with satisfaction!

Luo Zhi'er suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Little Zhou's character was not very good.

But she still has serious plans for her two children!

This Li Daqiang is a completely foolish and filial man.

Regardless of whether my parents are right or not, they know it is wrong, but they do not violate their will...

He even calls her father and mother euphemistically for their own good, and he doesn't put himself in the right position at all.

In addition to being their son, you are also the husband of your wife and the father of the children.

She really hates this kind of man. She is responsible for her parents and brothers, but she only wrongs her wife and children...

In other words, if you are willing to endure hardships for your parents, brothers and sisters, why would you drag your own wife and baby along with you?
They have freedom that they are not happy with. Why should they pay for your foolishness and filial piety, just because you contributed a sperm?

No wonder Xiao Zhou always had cold eyes and no emotional reaction to Li Daqiang.

She also said that they were supposed to be in free love before, so she must be extremely disappointed!

Li Sanmao saw that his wife was fuming, he held her hand and it hurt a little when she pinched him, "Daughter-in-law..."

Luo Zhi'er glanced at him lightly... "What's the matter?" "Uh... It's okay, it's okay."

I really don't understand their logic.

The separation of families does not mean that they are unfilial to their parents, it is just that each of them has more freedom.

Children live their own lives, and she understands that they are afraid that they will not be able to earn money or have a place to rely on when they grow old.

It's also possible that the old Litou people feel that no one will earn money to do farm work or anything like that, so they lose control and feel insecure.

The leader looked around at the expressions of the members around him, thought about it, and said calmly:

"Separating a family is not a matter of one house. It is the result of the joint discussion of the whole family. It is also a means to build a better family!"

"Of course, the main decision-makers are still your parents. Depending on their plans, we uncles can only suggest that if there is any need to help supervise the process of family division, property, etc., we are duty-bound..."

The two ancestors touched their beards and nodded.

"If your parents don't agree, we can't say anything."

Little Zhou's heart was filled with despair. So, is it impossible?no…

Luo Zhi'er's eyes flashed, and he said in a crisp voice, "Uncle Li Zheng, are everyone in our village following the old tradition of not separating parents when they live together?"

No one thought she was asking random questions. This Luo Zhi'er had no other thoughts besides eating, drinking, and doing housework...

She doesn't usually walk around the village, and she doesn't like to gossip with others. She probably doesn't know...

"Haha, we actually don't just follow the old tradition of making trees with big branches. There are also a few families in our village who split up their families while their parents are still alive..."

"That's it! How are they doing now?"

"Haha, it's not bad!"

Although it has left some bad reputation among the older generation in the village.

What kind of selfishness, white-eyed wolf, unfilial piety, etc.

That was because there was a lot of commotion in the family before and they had to be divided. Now the family is doing very well.My parents, who had not spoken to each other before, started to move around. It was a festival, and I usually ran very fast when there was something going on...

"Then did they pay filial piety money to their parents-in-law?"

The director didn't expect her to ask so carefully, he just thought she was just asking for fun.

"Yes, for example, Zhao Shumao and Zhao Shugen's family are said to be given twenty cash per month for a room."

"Especially the eldest brother, Zhao Shumao, harvested new rice and noodles from his own fields and immediately sent them to the two elders. There is basically no shortage of side dishes and so on..."

"The second child, Zhao Maogen, drives the cattle cart back and forth between the town and the village. From time to time, he buys some daily necessities, meat and so on. Anyway, it depends on their wishes!"

Lao Litou usually picks out which families are the first in the village.

That's what happened to the two brothers Zhao Shumao and Zhao Maogen. They almost beat each other to death a few years ago. It's impossible to ignore each other...

The two elders were always on tenterhooks, and they didn't agree at first...

"Rural people, they have land and fields, they can grow some food to feed the two elders, and the younger ones can also give money to them. They are clean and have no pressure..."

Old Li Tou, Mr. Zhou's face was as black as a briquette. He had always heard that the Zhao family in the village was split up. He didn't know that there was such a thing as filial piety. It turned out that he only had twenty cash, so what could he do?

How can it be better to keep the whole family's money by yourself?
Old Li Tou often used the example of Zhao Shumao's family in class for his children. Don't think about it, otherwise you will be laughed at by others!
Of course, there is another household where parents took the initiative to mention it. Many elderly people here think they are sick.

His old Li family is harmonious, and the whole family is living a prosperous life. When the time comes, several generations will live under the same roof, and it will be great for their son and daughter, Sun Chenghuan, to be at his knees...

He didn't want to be alone with two old people, living in a shabby house that was about to collapse, staring at each other at home. His dream of a big house didn't want to be ruined in one fell swoop!
Zhou's eyes rolled, and she was determined not to do it. Now someone assigned her to do it, and she was asked to do it at home and abroad.

It was impossible for Pearl to help her, she still had to serve her.

This old man is tricky and difficult to serve. She has been serving someone her whole life, and even after marrying a daughter-in-law, she has to enjoy the blessing of being taken care of...

Why let those little hooves be free and relaxed? That little daughter-in-law is so easy to be...

"To have the Tao is to cultivate one's character, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. If the family is often at odds with each other, there is no point in being together, right?"

Uncle Li looked at Old Li Tou and suddenly added...

"Hmph! Li Fuquan, please don't do anything bad."

"Your family is not separated, they live in harmony, live in a newly built big house, and live a prosperous life, but you come to my house to sow discord and make us separate. What are your intentions? "

Zhou shouted loudly to see if she didn't scold him until he got frustrated and ran away with his tail between his legs.

The old man is so evil-minded that he really thinks he is the boss if he gives him some face...

"I see you are just afraid that my family will surpass yours, so you are deliberately causing trouble..."

"Haha, Mrs. Zhou, you are serious. My family is harmonious and I live in a big house."

"Because there is no constant fighting or fighting in my house. I have lived for most of my life, and everyone knows what kind of person I am. The mischief you mentioned does not exist at all..."

"The members of my family work together without jealousy or selfishness. They are dedicated to running the family well. No one mentioned the separation of the family. If it was mentioned, then my wife and I would definitely respect their wishes..."

Li Fuquan, Uncle Li calmly touched his beard and said,

"To put it bluntly, these little guys, when they are in front of me and my old lady, sometimes we can't even drive them away!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Fuquan was a bit pleased with himself and very satisfied when he said it. Mr. Zhou looked at it and Old Li's teeth were itching. Is this showing off or showing contempt?
Zhao Guangyuan, Li Zhengxin, Zhao Er, Li Zhengsen and others nodded...

On the contrary, his family has always been very smooth, and there is nothing as noisy as Li Depei's family. In Zhao Licun, the Li Fuquan family must be well-managed, highly respected, and respected by others!

"Hmph! Show off your shit, behind closed doors, who knows!"

Mrs. Zhou complained incessantly, and Old Li glared at her.

Why do you say that Li Fuquan is a highly respected elder, and there is no benefit in openly fighting with him!

He had always wanted to imitate Li Fuquan, but he was not so lucky!
He quickly nodded and apologized: "Uncle Li, it's my mother-in-law who can't speak. Don't take it personally. I will definitely discipline her well."

"Haha! I don't dare! How can I, an older man, argue with a woman with long hair and short knowledge?"

"Since I am the eldest, she calls me uncle for the sake of the next generation, so I will be more generous and not care about her."

Mr. Zhou was very unhappy...I felt like he was taking advantage of me...

"But don't blame me for not reminding you that your wife is so reckless, ignorant, and domineering at home. She is someone the village cannot afford to offend..."

"I hope she won't offend the noble people when she goes out. Our Zhaoli Village and the Old Li family will both prosper and suffer..."

"Besides, your Li Gui is still studying. If he becomes an official in the imperial examination, the people he goes out to meet will be some respectable big shots."

"She is like your Pearl. It would be a shame if Li Gui lost his official position. Your heads can be moved at any time. That is no joke!"

Jiang is still old and spicy, these words are not just sensationalism, they really woke up Lao Li's head.

Li Gui has long been dissatisfied with these people in his family, and his eyes show boredom...
