Chapter 59 Documents
Second Uncle Song stood in the yard with his arms folded, and when Li Lifeng pulled Dong Bao out, he shrank his neck and shouted, "Uncle Dong Bao, our old Song family is separated, what do you have to say? It's been delayed It's getting old!"

The implication is that Li Lifeng belongs to the Li family, so he can't control the affairs of the Song family, and even delays their separation.

Li Lifeng resisted the urge to go forward and punch Song Yu twice, and said in a deep voice, "How do you plan to divide?"

"Didn't you just say that!" Even though Second Uncle Song was a little impatient, he didn't dare to provoke Li Lifeng. Although Li Lifeng was a businessman, he lived in the town and was much richer than him. Give Dongbao and the others a set of bowls, and one hundred catties of sorghum noodles."

"Second Uncle, my grandfather also said to give us two pennies, did you forget?" Dong Bao said loudly.

Second Uncle Song was exposed by Dong Bao on the spot, he couldn't help himself, he shrank his neck and looked at the village head and Li Lifeng in embarrassment, but a group of people looked at him with contempt, and he couldn't raise his hand as usual to scare people and curse a few more words "Little Rabbit".

Aunt Mantang scolded, "Second Song, are you still a human being?! Conscience, even the life-saving money of a scholar lady will be deducted!"

"Get lost!" Second Uncle Song scolded, "Is it your turn to talk about our old Song's family?"

Hearing Song Yu's swearing, Uncle Mantang immediately widened his eyes and rolled up his sleeves, "Second Song, who are you scolding with your mouth full of dung?"

Uncle Song is the same as Huang's. He is full of blood for bullying his own family. He is cowardly when facing outsiders. When Xiucai was around, no one dared to provoke him. Now that Song Xiucai is dead, the situation is quite different.

When he met Uncle Mantang, who was tall, burly, and powerful, Song Yu took two steps back, looked around, but didn't dare to meet Uncle Mantang, and mumbled a few words in his mouth, no one would Can't hear what he said,
Seeing that the discussion was getting further and further away, Dong Bao began to feel anxious again. She really couldn't wait to get the separation document. The Song family was too rascal and vicious, and she couldn't rest easy without getting the document.

Lin Shi, who had been paying attention to Dongbao, smiled slightly, and quietly tugged at the skirt of the village chief beside him, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, look at this document..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about such nonsense, let's call everyone here today for business." The village head waved at Uncle Mantang. The second son of the Song family is a fool. If you really compare with him, the family will not be assigned until tomorrow. Unable to finish the division, he turned around and said kindly to Lin Shi, "Da Shi, you are a person who can read and write, so you can read and write the family division document."

Lin Shi was waiting for the words of the village chief. He squatted on the ground, wrote the family separation document in quadruplicate on a small bench, and read it aloud in front of everyone.According to the family separation document, the Song family's old house in the west of the village was owned by the Li mother and daughter, and they were given a set of pots and pans, a hundred catties of sorghum noodles and two slings of money.The money owed for Song Xiucai's funeral should be repaid by Li's mother and daughter. The guarantors of the debt are Lin Fu and old man Hong. If Li's mother and daughter are unable to repay, the guarantor will repay.

After reading, Lin Shi looked at Old Man Song and Mrs. Huang, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa Song, Grandma Song, do you two disagree with the terms on this document?"

Huang Shihu stood there with a gloomy face, as if someone owed her 800 taels of silver and would not pay her back, she pursed her lips tightly and clenched her teeth, thinking of dividing the hundred taels of silver between Li Shi and Dong Bao. With a catty of sorghum noodles and two slings of money, Huang's heart felt as if a large piece of flesh had been cut off by a knife, and she wished to go up and bite Old Man Song twice.

"There is nothing to disagree." After waiting for a long time without seeing Huang's utterance, the old man Song said, sighed again, his face was black and red, and said to the village chief in embarrassment: "At home... that's it, let the villagers see the joke " Today he plucked up his courage and spoke justice for his daughter-in-law and granddaughter in front of all the villagers, refusing Huang's face, and the villagers looked at him differently from before.

Didn't Dong Bao say that everyone in the village looked down on him, thinking that he was afraid of his wife, that he was weak, and couldn't support his family.Now everyone looks at him differently. Who would dare to say that old man Song is afraid of wives?Who would dare to say that old man Song is worthless?
Old man Song was not good at words, so it was not easy for him to say these two scenes.

The village chief took a look at him, and felt that old man Song was able to put on a show of "magnificence" today, and suppressed this black-hearted woman of the Huang family. He said: "With Uncle Song leading the family to live, your family is blessed with many children and grandchildren, and you will have a lot of money in the future."

"Hey, hey!" Old man Song responded hastily.For many years, few people have looked at old man Song seriously. Even for the sake of him being a talented father, the respect and politeness towards him is only incidental, not sincere. The village head is the highest-ranking person in the village. Talking to him like this, old man Song's heart beat non-stop with excitement, his black and red face was also a little happy, and his stooped back straightened a little.

"Why!" Shuanzi's mother in the crowd at the door shouted with anger on her face. Before she could yell a second time, Shuanzi's father covered her mouth from behind and dragged her out forcefully. up.

Shuan Zi, who was hiding in the crowd watching the fun, also hurriedly followed out. Shuan Zi's father covered Shuan Zi's mother's mouth all the way, and did not let go until he dragged home. Dad pushed it away and scolded: "What are you doing? How dare you be Dad's house?"

Shuanzi's motherly eyes were red, and she pointed at Shuanzi's father and cursed: "Father is so confused, you are too confused! The Song family's business is none of our business? What kind of guarantee? The Lin family is rich. People, don’t take the two or eight liang seriously, do you think we are as rich as the Lin family?" This tone has already confirmed that the orphans and widows of the Song family will never be able to repay their debts. Hitting a swollen face to pretend to be fat, being taken advantage of, and losing money in vain!

"Isn't that a talented girl who saved our Shuanzi? Dad is very particular about people, and he has been used to being kind all his life." Shuanzi's father said, feeling a little depressed in his heart. It's not easy. He was very unhappy to help others pay back the money for nothing. He blamed Mrs. Shuan and said, "It's not you, you have to go to other people's houses to make trouble and bully people! The whole village will see the joke, right? Not to mention the orphans and widows who live in other people's homes, you have offended Mantang's family. If you hadn't made such a fuss, would dad feel guilty towards them? As for going up to be someone's guarantor?"

Shuan Ziniang was speechless after being scolded, but she has always been a strong and unrepentant personality. She cried even if she said: "I am for me? Am I not for Shuan Zi? For the only seedling of your old Hong family! Who let Daddy?" I'm so old that I have to let Shuanzi marry Dongbao? Dongbao has a bad life, and her birth date is hard! I...I can't ask her to harm my son!"

Seeing that he couldn't reason with his wife, Shuan Zi's father stomped his feet and sighed, and said, "I'll go to Song Xiucai's house to see what's going on." Then he left first.

After Shuanzi's father left, Shuanzi ran in, took his mother's hand covering his face, handed over the handkerchief to wipe his face, and said, "Mother, wipe your face."

Ms. Shuanzi took the handkerchief angrily, thinking that her father-in-law and husband are fools, and only her son is considerate and sensible, and it is worthwhile for her to love him for so many years. You are confused, you have been deluded by ghosts! When you grow up, you are not allowed to learn from them!"

"Mother, it's not because you don't like Dong Bao because she is born in the tiger's life." Shuan Zi didn't follow her words, but brought up another topic.

"What?" Shuan Ziniang was stunned.

Shuanzi said seriously, "You look down on Dongbao because you think Dongbao's family is poor, and there will be an old lady to support in the future, which will be a heavy burden."

"You...what are you talking nonsense!" Mrs. Shuan squeaked and scolded, looking at her son's clear and bright black eyes, as if she had been exposed to the little shameful thoughts in her heart, she was panicked and anxious.

"A lot of people have told me." Shuanzi said, "Mom, you don't usually believe in these ghosts, why do you suddenly believe in them? It's because Dongbao's family is poor, and he wants to support his mother in the future, and he is afraid of others. Say something bad about you."

The ten-year-old son made it clear that the little thought in her heart made her face flushed. She thought Dongbao's family was poor and couldn't afford a dowry. With the old lady Song's greed, it was not enough So eager to ask for a dowry for her third son to study?After Dong Bao married, he would definitely have to support Mrs. Li, and this daughter-in-law would suffer a lot.But I can't tell anyone about it, otherwise everyone will have opinions on her if it spreads out, saying that she wants a future wife's dowry or something, and when Shuanzi really finds a wife, it will be a bad thing.It happened that Dong Bao was born with a bad horoscope, and he used it as an excuse, but he was still spotted by others.

On the side of the Song family, no one objected to the four copies of the family separation document. The village head and several respectable elders in the village acted as witnesses, and the guarantor and the old man Song pressed the documents under their respective names. After everyone had signed their fingerprints, Lin Shi went into the East Room with the paperwork and asked Li Shi and Dong Bao to press their fingerprints.

Of the four documents, Dongbao gets one, the Song family keeps one, the Lin family takes one, and the village chief has to take one to report to the town guard. From now on, the Li family and Dongbao will be equivalent to setting up their own businesses. , which involves the food and taxes to be handed in every year.

Holding the thin, ink-stained separation document in Dong Bao's hand, her heart was already excited like a stormy sea. She swallowed her anger and worked hard for several months, and finally waited for this day!
Although Li Shi lay on the bed and couldn't make a sound, she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart. Her face flushed with excitement without using stones, and tears trickled down the corners of her eyes.

Rather than saying that this is a separation document, it is better to say that this is the freedom letter of Li Shi and Dong Bao. From then on, the two of them are free people, and they will no longer suffer from Huang Shi's meanness and difficulties, nor will they There is no risk of being forced to sell at any time!
