Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 39 Split!

It turned out that when Li Nan and the others returned home, the eldest aunt came out to look at the things that Li Nan and the others had brought back. She said angrily that Liu and the others were stingy. They had made so much money and bought a house, so they bought these things, which was unfilial.

In fact, Li Nan and the others bought a lot of things when they came back this time. They bought ten kilograms of pork alone and a lot of other miscellaneous things. They also bought a new cotton coat for each of their grandparents, including the uncle's family. .

However, the more they bought, the more aunt felt that they were making more, and she deliberately found fault with them.

Li Nan and Mrs. Liu both knew the temperament of their sister-in-law, so they simply ignored her and continued to move their things.

When the eldest aunt saw Li Nan and Mrs. Liu ignoring her, she became louder and louder, and even asked Mrs. Liu to teach her how to make braised meat.

Ms. Liu was so annoyed that she spoke a few words back to her, and her aunt sat directly at the door and started crying.

It's said that the family hasn't been separated yet, everyone has a share of the secret recipe and the money earned.

The eldest uncle and Li Nan felt that it was a joke to make trouble because of the Chinese New Year, so they started to persuade them.

However, the eldest aunt didn't listen at all. She made up her mind to force Li Nan and others to hand over the secret recipe when they came back.

As a result, at this moment, the grandfather came out and said angrily that he wanted to separate the family for the two brothers.

Brothers Li Dong and Li Nan quickly tried to persuade them, but Li Mu was determined to separate the family and called the whole family in to talk about the separation.

After listening to this, Li An felt happy in his heart.

He didn't care at all about the recipe for making braised meat. After all, they were all a family, so it wouldn't make any difference if the uncle's family also made it.

There was no protection law in ancient times. Once someone was recruited, it would be easily leaked. It would be difficult for them to open a branch alone.

This business is profitable, but in the final analysis it is not a fortune and it is very hard work.

Even if he doesn't like his eldest aunt very much, it doesn't matter if he lets them make money with her.

After all, the eldest aunt's family makes money from them, and the family home can be quieter.

The most important thing is that in ancient times, clans were valued. If Li An's family lived well, his uncle's family would be in poverty, and their reputation would not be good.

If Ang Lee becomes an official in the future, someone might still make an issue of this.

Some people may think that is a bit exaggerated, but that was the case in ancient times.

However, when Xu Wen wanted to buy the secret recipe from his family, Li An pretended to agree at first and said he would go back and ask, but later he refused directly because he saved Ru Lan and became friends with Sheng Changbai.

The Xu family was afraid of Sheng Changbai, but they didn't dare to use any dirty tricks.

However, Xu Wen did not give up and often invited Li Fu to eat and drink. Soon Li Fu forgot about being tricked by Xu Wen and started playing with Xu Wen.

Li looked at it several times and naturally knew what Xu Wen had in mind.

If he taught his aunt to make braised meat, he would probably know about it in a short time.

This is also the reason why Li An doesn't want to teach his eldest aunt.

Although he doesn't care about this secret recipe, his family still has to rely on this to make money.

It would be a good thing to take advantage of this incident to separate the family.

However, Li An couldn't care about the family separation at this time. He walked into the house and saw a room full of people sitting without saying anything. He saluted his grandparents and then took his father outside and told him about Shi Lin's injury. Again.

After hearing this, Li Nan knew that the matter was urgent. He went into the house and spoke to his father and mother, then drove the bullock cart and Li An to Shi's house.

Shi Lin didn't want to cause trouble and was unwilling to go. After the father and son kept persuading, he agreed.

"Goudan, go and put away the tiger skin." Shi Lin ordered.

"Tiger skin?" Li An was stunned when he heard this, and quickly reacted. He looked at Shi Lin and said, "Uncle Shi, were you injured because of tiger hunting?"

He had felt a little strange before. He had never heard of any injuries during many years of hunting in the Stone Forest, but this time he was so seriously injured.

However, he was worried about Shi Lin's injury and didn't ask any more questions.

Now that he heard that Shi Lin was injured by a hunting tiger, Li An felt very complicated. He didn't think Shi Lin was the kind of person who was impulsive for money. He probably hunted tigers because of the tiger bones.

Shi Lin used his eyes to signal Li An not to say more.

Li An knew that his father was nearby and it was inconvenient to speak, so he didn't say anything else.

After greeting his surprised father, he went to the kitchen and picked up some straw to lay on the car. Then he picked up two quilts and spread them on the car, then carried Shi Lin onto the car.

After Goudan put away the tiger skin, locked the door and left for Yangzhou.

On the way, Li An thought of things at home and asked, "Dad, my eldest brother heard that my grandfather was going to separate the family. What happened?"

As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. Li Nan didn't want to talk about it in front of Shi Lin, but Li An kept asking and he still said it.

It was similar to what Li Ping said before. After his grandfather called them into the house, he told them the plan to separate the family.

The family’s farmland totals just over fourteen acres. My grandparents plan to live with their uncle’s family, so Li An’s family can only be allocated five acres of land. The rest of the fields and things belong to my grandparents and uncle’s family.

Because Li Nan's family does not have a house in Cunzi, the house they originally lived in can still be used for one year, and they must move out after one year.

"Auntie, are you willing?" Li An asked.

He didn't care whether the things were there or not, but he felt that his eldest aunt might not agree to the separation of the family.

"Sister-in-law is not willing, and neither are your uncle and I, but dad is determined to break up this time." Li Nan sighed and said.

Li An wondered in his heart: "Grandpa didn't say that our family's business should be divided into something?"

In Li An's view, if his grandfather is willing to split up the family, it doesn't matter if he gives them the braised food recipe.

Anyway, he had plenty of ways to make money, but it was very difficult to split up the family. As long as his grandfather didn't nod, he had nothing to do.

"Your grandfather didn't say anything. Your aunt said they wanted to separate, but your grandfather didn't agree." Li Nan said.

Li An frowned slightly when he heard this. Judging from the land allocated, his grandfather favored his uncle's family.

However, his grandfather didn't want his family's business, which made him confused for a while what his grandfather was thinking.

Seeing that his father was not in a high mood, Li An didn't ask any more questions.

When they arrived in Yangzhou, they found a medical clinic. After a doctor's examination, they found that although Shi Lin's injuries were serious, they were not serious. He prescribed some internal and external medicine and let them go back to rest.

"I'll just say it's not serious, come and see." Shi Lin said.

"Uncle Shi, it's better to take a look and rest assured, it will be bad if you become disabled." Li An said.

"A Niu is right, take a look and feel relieved." Li Nan also agreed.

Shi Lin shook his head and said nothing more.

After returning to Lijiacun and settling down in the stone forest, Li An and his son said goodbye and went home.

After dinner in the evening, my grandfather called the family together again and talked about the separation of the family.

This time, the eldest aunt did not make any more trouble, because he had been making trouble all afternoon, but it was of no use at all. Grandpa was determined to separate the family.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it would not be good to spread the word of family separation, so my grandfather decided to ask Muramasa and the elders in the village to be witnesses for their family separation after the Chinese New Year.

Because of the family separation, the entire New Year was very cold.

Early in the morning after the third day of the Lunar New Year, my grandfather went to invite the village leader and the most prestigious people in the village to his home. Under their witness, he divided the families for his two sons.

On the second day after the separation, Li An's family packed up their things, drove the donkey cart and left Lijia Village.
