Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 103 There is a problem
Separation is of course a big deal.

The biggest concern is the family's field.

The Guan family has six paddy fields, one mu of mountainous land and two mu of sandy land. The land is not too much, but all of it is used, and it is enough for the whole family to live frugally.Now that Guan Wen is going to be divided, how to divide this land must be clearly drawn.

The second is the family's four fat pigs. Seeing that the price of these pigs has to rise during the Chinese New Year.It stands to reason that each of the four sons can divide the pig equally, but Li Xin's heart is like a mirror, and if he can get a pig, no, he can get a pig leg, which is considered Guan Ming's mercy.

Then there is the furniture at home.Her dowry box could be moved out by herself, but Guan's bed, curtains, dressing table, cabinets, tables, chairs, and even the simplest pots and pans might not be shared.

Separation was originally a good thing for Li Xin, but now that it was brought up at this time, she was a little caught off guard.

I was extremely happy at first, but once the excitement passed, these questions surfaced.

Hearing that her father-in-law also said to discuss this matter at night, Li Xin felt that she had suffered a disadvantage.

The most important thing is that after the separation, the 30 taels of silver that Guan Wen paid for buying ginseng to treat his injuries, what kind of regulations is this Guan Ming?
If they are distributed, then they will pay back the money themselves?
It's not impossible.

While thinking about it, Li Xin brought the cooked pig's trotter soup to the bed, scooped it up with a spoon, blew on the hot air, brought it to Guan Wen's mouth to feed him, and said, "Doctor Wen said you can't eat spicy food. Yes, make more supplements, the soup is so tasty, and the pig’s trotters are very soft, you should eat more, there is not enough in the pot.”

Guan Wen was a little embarrassed, "I'll do it myself."

"Don't move." Li Xin backed off, and said displeasedly, "You can't use your waist, so don't worry about other things when you just focus on that end."

As he spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of soup for him to drink.

Guan Wen obediently let Li Xin feed him a whole bowl of soup, and even ate several pieces of stewed and rotten meat. Watching the oil residue floating on the surface of the bowl gradually sinking to the bottom of the bowl, he finally sighed. One sound.

Li Xin asked: "Do you want to drink?"

"I'm full, I won't drink anymore." Guan Wen replied, and added: "It's delicious."

The soup is delicious, with chopped green onion floating on top, which makes it even more fragrant.He has always known that his daughter-in-law is good at cooking, and whatever she eats will make people appetite.

Li Xin put down the bowl and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, but was stopped by Guan Wen when he was about to go out.

"What's wrong?" Li Xin turned around and asked, "Do you want to relieve yourself?"

Guan Wen blushed slightly, shook his head and said, "Xin'er, come here, I'll tell you something."

Li Xin sat down obediently, and Guan Wen took her hand and said, "Father agreed to let us split up."

"Yeah." Everyone in the family probably knows about this.

Guan Wen added: "However, I think that Dad will make things difficult for us in specific matters, so that we can get out of trouble and not separate the family."

She also guessed this.

What happened in the bedroom later was told by A-mei and A-Xiu after sneaking a look, Guan Zhicheng murmured to Guan Ming for a while and she also knew about it.Guan Zhicheng is still a little clever, and he doesn't know what he's playing with his father again.

However, when the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, she didn't mind suffering a little loss on the division of the family, but if she was to suffer a big loss, she was definitely not the one to just let it go.

It's all here, and you have to earn what you should earn.Her mother used to talk about the fact that grandma treated her father favorably when the three brothers were separated. If this happened to her, after her mother found out about it, she would probably resign. It's an old saying again, she's going to scold her father after scolding her.

Seeing that she didn't react much, Guan Wen pondered for a while before saying, "Xin'er, what do you want to share?"

Li Xin raised his eyebrows: "For what?"

"Land, furniture or something..." Guan Wen touched his leg, which was a sign of his uneasiness, "If you don't get a good share..."

"That's your ability." Li Xin said flatly: "You are the eldest son, and you have worked so hard for this family for so many years. You don't know what to give you?"

Guan Wen was embarrassed for a while, sighed and said, "I know."

"Then it's over." Li Xin also sighed, knowing why Guan Wen was hesitating.If the couple split up and took too much, what would happen to the rest of the family?After thinking about it, Li Xin still said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this. The second brother is not young anymore, he has a lot of strength, so why not do something? Now he is not burdened by his wife and children. I don't have to worry about not having enough to eat. The fourth brother is a slippery person. I think he is quite shrewd in his work. Maybe he can let go of his hands and feet without you watching in front of him. As for Axiu, she is going to the medical center now As an apprentice, she has food, housing and money. Dr. Wen cherishes her talents, and we don’t need to worry about her. Although the marriage is a bit more troublesome, there is no need to worry. The more worrying thing is Amei. Now, she has a dull temper, and I'm afraid she will suffer, so I can only ask your second and fourth brothers to take care of her more. As for grandpa, if you want to take him to be filial, I have no objection."

It was the separation proposed at an old juncture, and Li Xin remembered it in his heart. Although the old man didn't talk much, he still turned to Guan Wen after all.

But she didn't mention Guan Zhicheng and Guan Ming at all.

After Li Xin said these words, Guan Wen also thought for a long time, touched his nose and said helplessly: "I always feel that I have to separate and go out, which hurts my brother's feelings..."

Except for Guan Zhicheng, your other two brothers probably understand it very well.

Li Xin curled his lips, wanting to say that his brain was twisted, and he couldn't figure it out when he got together. After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, and finally said: "It's useless to think about it now, and I don't know how father-in-law plans to divide it." My friend, you have made a plan, maybe they didn't plan it that way, and there will be a theory at that time."

Guan Wen nodded, "Yes, I know." He looked at Li Xin and said, "Xin'er, don't worry, I won't make you suffer too much."

As I said, I don't have to suffer too much grievance, but I still have to suffer a little grievance.

Li Xin sighed in a low voice, but after all, he felt that being able to separate from Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng was better than anything else, so he didn't care about it.

Not wanting to say anything, she nodded and took the bowl out, and Guan Wen lay down to rest.

At night, all members of the Guan family gathered in the main room.

It stands to reason that if you want to separate the family, you have to write a letter with the more respected old people in the Guan clan, and after discussing it, you have to go to the village chief to talk about it, go through the formalities for the field, and then go to the yamen to get a seal or something.But this happened suddenly, and Guan Ming himself was a bit confused. He wanted to discuss it with his family, and if he got involved again, then everything would be settled, and no one would be able to change it.

The most important thing is to convince the boss.

Axiu stood next to Li Xin silently, and Amei was busy pouring tea for the gentlemen.The rough tea in the village tastes astringent, and drinking tea nowadays is just for the sake of atmosphere.

The four sons lined up on the left side of the table, Li Xin, Axiu, and Amei were on the right, Guan Ming sat in the middle, and was slightly behind at the old juncture.Probably because I couldn't hold on at the old juncture at night, I fell asleep, and my eyes narrowed.

Guan Ming took a sip of tea, first sighed, babbled about the poor situation of his family, how he could not make ends meet, and then said sadly that Guan Wen wanted to separate the family. As a father, he couldn't stop him, so he could only separate him, etc. .

Li Xin really annoyed him with his bureaucratic accent.Ever since she was served tea on the first day of her marriage, Guan Ming started to show off.Every time we talk about big things, we have to lay the groundwork in advance.

Who is not clear about the situation, does he need to repeat it like this?
After finishing speaking, Guan Ming said: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law insist on splitting up, but I can't help it. How to split up, let's give a charter."

As he spoke, he glanced at the four sons below, and seeing that no one had made a sound, he nodded and said, "The family's land is six parts of paddy fields, one mu of mountain land, and two mu of sandy land. The house is only one room, and the livestock are only four. A pig, not many things. The fourth child is about to marry a wife, and your sixth brother is going to take an exam soon. These are two important things in the family, and the money cannot be shared. If the family is separated, it will not be shared with you. What."

Guan Wen didn't respond, but Li Xin sneered inwardly.The matter of Guan Quan marrying a wife is fine, but her father-in-law has ignored her words and doesn't care at all about Guan Quan's acceptance of the exam?

Seeing that no one responded, Guan Ming smiled with satisfaction, and said, "The paddy field is ancestral property, and it has been taken care of by your second and fourth brothers all these years. There are not many fields in the first place. If they are divided by force, they will have to be divided into roads to occupy the land." , So Dad thought, I won’t give you the paddy fields. But Dad is not a mean person, one acre of mountain land, two acres of sandy land, you see which piece you want, and Dad will give you more.”

The land of the paddy field is good, one point of paddy field is worth three parts of mountainous land or four parts of sandy land.What Guan Ming said was really shocking.

Guan Wen didn't seem to care, as if he had expected such a situation, he was silent for a moment before saying: "Father, it stands to reason that the family should be divided evenly. I have one and a half points of six points of paddy fields, and one and a half points of one acre of mountain land." Two-and-a-half points, and five points for two acres of sandy land. Now that my father said so, I don’t want paddy fields. It shouldn’t be too much to divide one-and-a-half points of paddy fields into mountainous or sandy land. Mountainous land and sandy land It’s about the same, so I get almost an acre of land in total.”

Guan Ming's mouth trembled, his eyes were wide open, and he was about to speak, but he was forced to press it down, and he said in accordance with Guan Wen's words: "Then you can share an acre of sand, anyway, you picked it up later."

Guan Wen laughed: "Didn't Dad say that the road would take up space? There is no need to draw another road in the sand. Just give me the acre of mountain land."

Guan Ming immediately said: "That won't work! Don't rely on the mountains to collect firewood!"

"Father will come to collect firewood when he wants to, and there are too many firewood in the mountains."

Guan Ming was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.Although the mountainous land is not as good as the paddy field, there are still many things that can be grown on it. There are vegetables and fruits on the mountainous land. He is a little unwilling to give it to the old man like this.

However, I had previously agreed with Xiao Liu that as long as the paddy fields are not given, other things can be discussed. Guan Ming glanced at Guan Zhicheng and saw him nodding slightly. The mountains are for you!"

Guan Ming understands the wonderful use of mountains, but Guan Zhicheng, a scholar who has buried his head in the pile of old papers, does not.He didn't care about farming at home, he only thought that the paddy fields were highly fertile, and he paid taxes every year, which would be a big deal, and all the rice he ate had to come from the paddy fields.As for the mountains, they are just used for chopping firewood and burning fire, so there is nothing to miss.The two fathers and sons failed to discuss, so Guan Wen seized the opportunity to divide the land.

Li Xin is quite satisfied with the distribution of the land. Without him, she would not know anything about farming, and she doesn't know anything about sowing, fertilizing and planting seedlings. She could only wish for an independent piece of land.

After the land was divided, it was the turn of the family animals.

"Your fourth brother is getting married soon, and it's almost the end of the year. If you sell two of the four pigs and slaughter one, there will only be one pig left in the family. You can't move."

Guan Wen nodded, "You don't want pigs anymore."

Guan Ming was overjoyed, and before he could say, "That's it," Guan Wen said, "Then just give us some of the money from selling the two pigs."

Now Guan Ming choked.

Pigs are more in charge of money at the end of the year. One pig can be sold for one or two taels of silver, and two pigs can be sold for at least three taels of silver.If it is divided according to the price of a pig, shouldn't it be more than one or two taels of silver?

Guan Ming was not willing to share the money, and was about to say that the money at home was not enough, so he patted the table at an old moment and said, "Here! Give Ah Wen the money for a pig!"

Guan Ming was so angry that his mouth was twisted, he thought his father was asleep, but unexpectedly he was listening to the old god.

Lao Guan lost his voice, and Guan Ming couldn't say anything, so he nodded with a dark face, and mentioned the furniture at home.

"...It's nothing in the first place. You can move the things in your house, and you can even put out the pots and pans."

That's pretty generous.

"But the bed has to be kept, and the fourth brother can't do without a new bed when he gets married."

The reason Guan Ming gave was really high-sounding. Seeing him so angry, Li Xin snorted coldly and said, "Father, where will I sleep with Ah Wen? This is a division of the family. There is a cover on the top of the family word, and a cover on the bottom." It’s just a pig. It’s fine if we don’t share the pig with us, and we don’t give us any of the lids. Not enough beds?"

Guan Ming bulged his eyes, "Women, there is no place for you to interrupt!"

Li Xin sneered and turned his face away, Guan Wen said in a deep voice: "Father, you said that everything in my house can be moved, but I made this bed out of wood and asked someone to make it. Ever since I married Xiner Just sleep there, have to move."

What Guan Ming wanted to say, Axiu chimed in and said, "Father, Fourth Brother can build a new house, and a bed can still be made, so you don't have to worry about Fourth Brother."

Guan Quan lowered his head and made no sound.He did make a bed when he built the new house, and he knew in his heart that Dad was using him as a cover, and he didn't need the bed of his eldest brother and sister-in-law at all.

Li Xin said coldly: "Father, do you still want this bed?"

Guan Ming felt angry and snorted, "Isn't it just a bed, don't want it!"

Not best.

Li Xin nodded, thinking that the division of the family had been discussed clearly. There was an acre of mountain land behind their new home, a set of furniture and even pots and pans, and they could get money for selling a pig, so it wasn't a big loss.

But he didn't expect that Guan Ming had another trick behind——
