Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 104 Various Lawsuits
"Grandpa likes Ah Wen, and Ah Wen is also filial. Although my father doesn't need Ah Wen to be raised by you, grandpa, you have to continue to take care of him. You can't be filial to your father. You should be filial to your grandfather instead of your father. Only sister is left at home. A girl, father can't take care of her, you have a daughter-in-law, let your daughter-in-law teach her well."

What does this mean, that Grandpa and Amei were distributed to Guan Wen?

Axiu immediately became angry, and tried her best to calm her churning anger and asked Guan Ming, "Father, grandpa is fine, but what do you mean there is only a girl left? Where did you put me?"

Guan Ming then smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you, these two days I went to the town with your sixth brother to inquire about some people, and I found you a job as a maid, and you can earn [-] yuan a month. Yueyin, it’s just right, you can pack up and go take a look with dad tomorrow.”

Axiu was stunned on the spot.

With a "bang", Li Xin stood up and kicked the stool, looked at Guan Ming coldly, then at Guan Zhicheng, and smiled sarcastically, his voice was very low but could not hide his anger: "What do you mean? Axiu sold to be a maid?"

Guan Ming said in displeasure, "What do you call selling? You said it was a job for her, so good treatment..."

"Axiu won't go!" Li Xin immediately raised her voice, "You want her to be a servant girl for someone? Are you still her real father?"

Guan Ming couldn't hold back his face, and immediately became angry when his daughter-in-law pointed his nose and scolded him like this, "What do you mean? If I'm not her real father, I wouldn't plan for her! What's wrong with being a maid? If you were to say that you were also abused by your father Mom sold it to be a maid!"

"Don't compare yourself to my parents, do you deserve it?" Li Xin was furious, "Back then my family sold me because they were desperately waiting for money to save my father's life. How is it now? You can do it for your daughter to fill your son's future!"

Guan Zhicheng frowned and got up and said: "What do you mean by that? The Shen family is a big family, and I only signed a contract with them for two years. Besides, if Fifth Sister does a good job, she will be appreciated by the master of the Shen family. Maybe even a marriage can be arranged for her. If someone among the masters takes a fancy to her and takes her as a concubine, wearing gold and silver, it's not because of her good fortune. Seems like that Haitang from the Gu family is also working as a maid in the Shen family, I didn't see that she is only a second-class maid who can wear black and green hairpins, if she becomes an aunt, she would be even more envious..."

"To shut up!"

Li Xin was furious, and shouted: "Don't put gold on your face and say that these are all for the good of Axiu! You can do it if you want to be a concubine!"

Guan Zhicheng also stood up and faced Li Xin: "What do you mean! The old saying goes well, you would rather be a rich man's concubine than a poor man's wife, with such a bright future in front of you..."

"I dont go."

Axiu interrupted suddenly, and then shouted loudly: "I'm not going!"

"It's up to you whether you want to go or not. I've already signed a contract with the steward of the Shen residence." Guan Ming persuaded him kindly: "Axiu, my dear, the masters of the Shen family are all good people. If you have a good fortune, you will have a bright future. Come on! Didn't you envy the old Gu family's crabapple well-fed and well-dressed before? You will also have this kind of blessing in the future..."

"I'm afraid I will disappoint you father-in-law."

Li Xin interrupted him, and said coldly: "I said that you not only signed a contract with the steward of Shen's residence, but also took money from him, right? Hurry up and return it, and say that this matter is void, otherwise, be careful that you will go to jail Go to prison and sue!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng's reactions, and said to the old man: "Grandfather, father-in-law thinks you are too old to work, and he doesn't support you. I will raise you with Ah Wen. I will also take my sister with you. I will be by my side until I marry her off properly. Now that the division of the family has been decided, I will prepare it right away, and I will also trouble Grandpa to ask the clan elders to be a witness, and then I will ask Ah Wen to go to the village head to open the ceremony. Take a proof and go to the Yamen to file a case."

After speaking, he went out, not wanting to stay for a moment.A-mei followed her out with her head down without saying a word.

The room was silent for a while, and then there was a "snap", it was Axiu who dropped the tea bowl, her face was ashen, and she said to Guan Ming sarcastically: "The father who claims to have given birth to me and raised me for 18 years is nothing compared to me The sister-in-law who has been together for less than half a year without a trace of blood. You are really my good father!"

Only Guan Wen, Li Xin and A-Mei knew about Axiu's apprenticeship at Anhetang, and they didn't have time to tell the rest of the Guan family.Now that Guan Ming had signed all the deed papers without saying a word, they were really caught off guard.

If there is no decision on Axiu's matter, and Dr. Wen has not issued a document from the yamen, I am afraid that this matter will have to work hard today.

But the document was placed there, and Axiu was admitted by the government, and entered the government files as a candidate for a female doctor.The documents issued by the government naturally have a much higher status than the deeds issued by the Shen residence.

Shen Mansion, Shen Mansion again...

Li Xin rubbed his head, looked at the younger sister who followed cautiously, her eyes were slightly red, and said: "It's getting late, go to sleep."

A-mei held Li Xin back, and after a while she murmured: "Sister-in-law, dad doesn't want me anymore..."

"Brother and sister-in-law want you, don't worry."

Li Xin sighed and patted Amei's shoulder, "Don't cry, your Fifth Sister may feel bad, and when she goes back to bed at night, you have to comfort her a lot."

The atmosphere in the main room was very tense, Axiu ran out the door after saying that, Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng froze in place in astonishment, it took a long time for Guan Wen to stand up, and told Axiu that Axiu was going to be an apprentice in the Anhetang Medical Center After talking about the matter again, he finally said: "Father, you should hurry up and clarify with the steward of the Shen family. If you take the money, return it quickly. If they don't comply with this matter, I'm afraid you will really face a lawsuit."

Guan Ming slumped on the stool, and Guan Zhicheng panicked all of a sudden.

What I thought was safe, how could it happen, how could it become like this...

So some things are a combination of misfortune and good fortune, and there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

Guan Wen has been busy recovering from his injuries these past few days, and Axiu has packed up her things and has already gone to the Anhetang in the town.Li Xin didn't rest, she was very enthusiastic about packing up the things to be moved, and she was motivated to do everything.On the contrary, Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng had almost disappeared since that day.

Li Xin was so happy not to see these two people, she discussed with Guan Wen that when Guan Wen recovered from his injury, he would find a day to move.

The matter of inviting the clan elders has also been settled, and the village chief also said that the village chief went with Guan Wu and Li Xin to go to the county government for filing, and the matter went smoothly.

All I have to worry about now is where to find a house.

Guan Wen said: "There is a small house on the other side of the mountain. I built a vacant lot in the mountain before, but it is a bit small."

Li Xinxi said: "Then you asked your father to want that piece of mountain land in order to save that house?"

Guan Wen nodded and said, "That's right, I usually sleep there when I'm resting by myself, and Dad and the others know that too."

Now that Guan Wen had already considered the place to live, Li Xin was not in a hurry and asked him, "How big is the house?"

"It's not too big, just two rooms. If you live in it with grandpa and sister, it will still look narrow."

Li Xin had never seen that house before, so after thinking about it, he still said: "Let me go and have a look first, and if there are not enough places, we will find someone to help clean it up."

Guan Wen then asked Guan Wu to take Li Xin there. Guan Quan was not in a good mood recently, and he also said that he would go together, and he was willing to help where he could.

The house Guan Wen said was on top of a mountain, with a bamboo forest on the left and a river downhill on the right, the distance was only half a stick of incense.The house is made of wood mixed with bricks. It is not very strong, and it is indeed small, about [-] square meters inside.An open space was opened in front of the house, and some neat logs were piled up, and the cylinders were piled up in a row.

When I walked in, I realized that there were two rooms in the room, and there was a wooden board in the inner room, probably because Guan Wen sometimes rested.

After walking around, Li Xin came out and sighed, "This room is still too small."

"Sister-in-law, why don't we help build a new house during this time?" Guan Wu said worryingly, "This house is mostly used as a kitchen or something, how can anyone sleep in it..."

Li Xin also thought so.The reason why she doesn't want pigs is also because she is too lazy to raise them and has no place to raise them.

This location is good. There are trees in the front and the river in the back. Turning down the hillside, you can reach the main road of the village. It is also convenient to leave the village and enter the town.

It's just that building a house can't be achieved in a short while, and it also needs wood and bricks, masons and bricklayers.It will be winter soon, if you can't resist the cold wind.

Back at Guan's house, Li Xin said directly to Guan Wen, "That house is too small and has air leakage. It can't accommodate people in winter, and it's not enough to live in. We still have to afford a new house."

Guan Wen nodded, "I know, I've already thought about it."

While letting Li Xin sit down, he said: "When we build a new house, we still have to build a kitchen and latrine. Daddy probably won't keep things belonging to grandpa, but I can take out things belonging to sister-in-law. We only need three one-bedroom houses, plus the kitchen, the latrine, and the den where your Erhei dog lives, so we have to make it look big.”

Guan Wen still remembered that Erhei's nest surprised Li Xin.Li Xin thought for a while and said, "I've thought about this too, but... we don't have the money to prepare bricks and tiles now, and it costs money to hire people to work."

As for Guan Wen's injury, all his old friends were brought out.

Just as he was talking, Guan Wu knocked on the door and came in, holding a bag of things in his hand, and stuffed it directly to Li Xin, "Sister-in-law, take the money and use it first."

Guan Wu muttered, Li Xin frowned and said, "Second Brother, where did you get the money?"

"...Borrowed, brother and sister-in-law are waiting to use the money now."

Li Xin couldn't laugh or cry, "Second brother, it's not good to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall."

"Let's deal with elder brother's business first..." Guan Wu scratched his head, "I can pay back the money slowly. I owe it to elder brother in the first place."

Guan Wen sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

"It's not for saving me, and my elder brother won't be hurt like this..." Guan Wu pushed away Li Xin's hand that was handed back to her, and shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, just use it. Now building a house is a business, and I can go if it's okay." help."

That bag of silver was about ten taels, and it was not bad to be able to borrow that much money.

Li Xin frowned and asked Guan Wu, "Second Brother, where did you borrow the money from?"

Guan Wu hesitated at first, but Li Xin said bluntly: "If you don't tell me who you borrowed from, I will take the money."

Guan Wu was forced to do nothing, so he whispered: "Yes, Sun, the Sun family..."
