Chapter 179 Selling Field
Without waiting for more discussion among the clan, Li Jihe directly expressed his position. He only wanted to provide for his parents until they die, and it was irrelevant how the family property was divided.

Patriarch Li and the elders also know that his family's life has improved now, and the eldest brother, Rong Song, supports the family, and has two younger sisters to marry, and one younger brother is still young. If the family property is really divided again, I'm afraid that I can't live any longer.

Jihe is so kind!
Clan Chief Li and the clan elders nodded, which was regarded as agreeing to this matter. For Mr. Li, the second bedroom became the eldest. Mr. Li and his wife lived with Li Jihe from then on. In the future, a hundred years later, Li Rongzong will also come. Fell into a basin.

Li Rongsong, on the other hand, wanted to continue to support his grandparents and provide for them until they die. As the saying goes, if there is an elder in the family, if there is a treasure, their father is gone and their mother is not here, so they need elders to control them so that they can have a backbone.

But after so many things happened, he was already twenty-one years old and an adult. He should have established his own family long ago.

Grandma is willing to live with her son, and he naturally supports it.

It's just that he must be a real person. He doesn't care for his grandparents until they die. He can only give it to his second uncle in exchange for the family property that this big family can get.

No, Li Rongsong went to Li Jihe and said that he was almost out of food, so he was shameless, but the ancestral home and fields should be given to his second uncle.

With his eldest brother gone, Li Jihe also felt sorry for his nephews and nieces, and had long made up his mind to treat them as his own children in the future. It was also Rongsong and the others who had grown up and had a family, so it was time for them to start their own business, otherwise, he would It is also appropriate to take them all over and feed them together.

Now that he has more than ten acres of land in his hands, the life of his children can be made easier. How can he ask for this? Besides, Ren Rongsong was also willing and wanted to raise his parents. He wanted to raise his parents and had to take them over. What if Rongsong took over the fields and ancestral home? Aren't you bullying your nephew?

Not to mention that he has made a fortune now and does not need these things. Even if he has not made a fortune and only has those two acres of land, he will grit his teeth and take over what his parents raised. These are his parents. If the eldest brother is gone, he, the second child, will be the eldest. It's his turn to raise him, don't say too much.

Li Jihe immediately refused. Fortunately, he persuaded Li Rongsong, telling him not to be so outspoken with his second uncle, and to just come to his second uncle for help if anything happened in the future.

Besides, my grandma is being raised by my second uncle. She is also your grandma. You can come and show your filial piety at any time.

Isn't it right for someone who is about to become a father to stand up for himself? You are the eldest brother. An eldest brother is like a father. Your younger brothers and sisters are all looking at you. You are so close. If anything happens, your uncles will take care of you. Don't be afraid.

Li Rongsong's eyes turned red at what his second uncle said, and he felt very sad. He nodded in agreement and promised that he would definitely take on the responsibility of the eldest brother and take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.

But he thought about it carefully and couldn't help but said: "My second uncle loves me so much that I won't argue with my nephew about this. My nephew has remembered this kindness, but I want to sell some of the land to you, my second uncle."

When Li Jihe heard this, he wondered, how could anyone sell their land in a good way? There is no one in these ten miles and eight villages whose farmland is not valuable. Those who sell their children and daughters are reluctant to sell their own land if they cannot survive. It is a good treasure that can be passed on to future generations. If you sell it, you will never get it back.

I just felt that my nephew was going to give him the land if he didn't want to go around the corner, so he shook his head and said he refused to buy anything.

Li Rongsong was also anxious and said hurriedly: "Second uncle, don't my family owe so much debt now? It's better to pay it off as soon as possible to avoid being burdened with favors. So I want to sell a few acres of paddy field and dry land first. These debts have been repaid.”

Last year, in order to treat Li Jiren, he borrowed a total of fifty ounces of silver from the clan, and spent more than half of it on a trip to the prefecture. The rest was spent on broken legs, some during the New Year, and the rest. All the money was spent on Li Jiren’s funeral.

Now Li Rongsong only has the money he needs to make preserved eggs. He has to wait for who knows how many years to earn fifty ounces of silver, but he can't let the favor of his clan members wait for so long. Originally thinking of returning the land to his second uncle, he and his second brother went out to work as long-term laborers for the landlords. In addition, they could make the preserved eggs and save some money and spend a few years to return all the money. However, I must ask the tribesmen to be more accommodating.

Now that the second uncle loves them and refuses to take the land, he should not hesitate to sell the land first and pay off all the debts.

There is no need to worry about selling the land, but selling the land is a waste of money, but he must have thought of selling it to his second uncle, a member of his family. In this way, even if his grandfather knew that he was selling the land, he would not say anything about him.

Seeing his persistence and knowing that he owed so much money, Li Jihe thought about it and turned to ask for advice from Mr. Li.

When Father Li heard that his eldest grandson wanted to sell his land to pay off his debts, he thought that with dozens of debts weighing on him, he would not be able to live a good life. Moreover, the land was sold to his own family, so the fertilizer did not go to other people's fields, so he decided to No problem.

In this way, Li Jihe invited the patriarch, the eldest uncle, and the third and fourth elders to come together as witnesses, and bought two acres of paddy fields next to the one mu of paddy fields he was assigned, and an acre of paddy fields next to him. There are five acres and a half of dry land.

After such a purchase, there were still six acres of paddy field and twelve acres of dry land left in the big house, which was just enough for Li Rongsong and his three brothers to share equally. This was because Li Rongsong also added his share to the calculation.

Nowadays, paddy fields cost 10 taels of silver per acre, and dry fields cost 6 taels of silver per acre. In this way, Li Jihe gave Li Rongsong fifty-three taels of silver, which was just enough for him to pay off his debt and still have three taels of silver left. Have your hands ready just in case.

As soon as he pressed his fingerprint and received the money, Li Rongsong did not waste any time and immediately gave the thirteen ounces of silver to Li Jihe and said, "There is still one more ounce. Second uncle, let me give it to you after a while."

Li Jihe was stunned for a moment. When he realized that he had mentioned the four taels of silver, he only took the ten taels and said not to mention the four taels of silver again.

That was Wu's doing. He had already received six ounces of silver. In the current situation, how could he let his nephew take out these four ounces?

Seeing that Li Jihe didn't want it, Chief Li and Li Yishan also persuaded Li Rongsong. Then he put away the three ounces of silver with red eyes, and then went to the clan to pay back the money.

After paying off one by one, he took back a stack of IOUs. Li Rongsong threw the IOUs in the kitchen and burned them. He turned to look at his younger brothers and sisters. Over the past few days, he smiled and said: "From now on, Brother, I will work hard to help you live a good life! Save a dowry for Yangmei and Carambola, and try to send Brother Tan to study!"

Li Rongbai always did what his eldest brother said, so he immediately followed up and said: "I will work hard with my eldest brother!"

The two sisters, Bayberry and Carambola, couldn't help but get excited, "We have done all the work at home, such as washing clothes, feeding chickens and pigs!"

Li Rongtan sniffed, "Brother, I don't study anymore, I work!"

Li Rongsong touched his head and didn't say much. He made up his mind to try his best to send him there.

"Let's work hard together! Come on, let's continue making preserved eggs!"
