Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 42
Mrs. Lu was overjoyed, and couldn't help but rejoice and said, "That day when you went to work at Yun's house, your father and I were so worried that you couldn't sleep well all night. Who would have thought that you would fall into a pit of fortune. Remember to take good care of you in the future. Master, although we farmers have not read any books, we still need to understand the principle of repaying kindness."

"Mother, don't worry." Ding Wei was afraid that the old lady would talk about the grandmother of the mountain god again, and be dragged to worship, so there was no need to talk about serious business today.

"Mother, what about the eldest brother and the second brother, are you and father alone at home on weekdays?"

Hearing her daughter's question, Mrs. Lu's face darkened obviously, and she replied vaguely, "They are all busy in the shop, and your father and I can't help much, so we can enjoy the happiness at home."

Ding Wei didn't want her mother to cover up the past, so she asked bluntly, "Did the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have a quarrel? How many days has the second sister-in-law not come back?"

"Ah, no, they... two are fine." Mrs. Lu still refused to tell the truth, but old man Ding knocked on his cigarette pipe, glared at her and said, "You old woman, your daughter is not an outsider, why are you Not telling the truth?"

Mrs. Lu is also a little uncomfortable these days. Hearing the old man's son poke his heart, his eyes turned red, and he said angrily, "I'm afraid that my daughter will worry about it. I usually take care of the child by myself, and I have to worry about the business in the shop. What can I do? She participated in these bad things?"

Ding Wei shook his old mother's hand distressedly, even if her parents didn't tell her, she would have guessed it.The family was poor before, and everyone worked hard together, but they got close.Life is better now, with more money, there are naturally more conflicts.Even if it is a husband and wife, it is not easy to share wealth and wealth.What's more, Boss Ding and Lao Er Ding have married and have wives and children, so they can't help being selfish.How could life be as happy as before?

"Father, mother, why not...separate the family?"

"What?" Lu was so shocked that he almost threw the snack bag in his hand, and old man Ding also choked on his cigarette.

"You girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Your father and I are both alive, and your two elder brothers are not unfilial, how can we separate the family?" Mrs. Lu secretly glanced at the old man, fearing that he would offend her daughter, so she hurriedly mentioned her description , "Did you work hard these days, what are you thinking?"

Ding Wei ignored her mother's obstruction and continued, "Father, mother, I'm not talking nonsense. I've been thinking about this for a long time. Now at home, the eldest brother and sister-in-law manage the pasta shop, and the second brother and sister-in-law manage the wood shop. The money they earn Although it is said that they are all in charge of the mother. But the income of the two shops is more or less, and the daily expenses are also different. The two sister-in-laws are afraid that they will feel uncomfortable. If the mother does not take good care of one, it will provoke the two sister-in-laws to quarrel. As time goes on, even if the elder brother and the second brother are close since childhood, I am afraid they will be cold-hearted. It is better to divide the family before the incident happens, and the two elder brothers will live their lives separately. Maybe there is still time to support each other .”

"Then, what about your father and I?" Thinking of the noisy noises coming from the eldest daughter-in-law's room these days, and the second daughter-in-law who hasn't set foot in the house for many days, Mrs. Lu also felt that what the daughter said made sense.But all the mothers in the world are like hens, wishing to keep their children under their wings for the rest of their lives, and now it is more painful than cutting their hearts out for her to take the initiative to throw the children out.

"Mother, the elder brother and the second elder brother have separated. They just live alone, and they are not expelled from the house. Naturally, they are still the son of you and father, and will continue to honor your two elders." Said, "Besides, you still have me and Brother An, I wish you and Dad could live with our mother and father."

"You girl, this... this..." Lu Shi lost his mind for a while, and turned to look at his old man's son, hoping that he would come up with an idea.

Old man Ding was squatting at the door, staring at the empty yard in a daze, as if he didn't notice his wife's cry for help.

Ding Wei thought for a while, then let go of her mother's arm, stretched out her hand to take the deed paper from her arms and patted it on the kang, saying, "Father and mother, I know you don't want to separate the family, but you also worry that I have nowhere to go in the future. At home, with you two elders on top, the eldest brother and the second brother can always take care of us mother and child. But, father and mother, I have already planned, you really don't have to worry about me. These days, I have been worrying about the Yun family. The young master treated the injured leg, and the master of the Yun family was very generous. He promised a three-entry house and two prosperous shops in the city for consultation fees. Three years later, when the term of work is over, I will bring Brother An to live in the city. With these family properties, even if I no longer want to bibimbap to earn money, our mother and son will be able to eat and drink for the rest of our lives."

"Ah, there is a shop and a house! Doesn't the Yun family give too much?" Lu is illiterate, but she can recognize the seal of the government. She has to take out everything twice, so naturally it looks familiar.

Old man Ding also came over at this moment, picked up the deed paper and carefully studied it for a long time, and finally looked at his daughter, "Daughter, can you be worthy of your conscience with this medical fee?"

Ding Wei thought about her sore arm every night and Gong Zhiming's body recovering day by day, so she nodded vigorously, "Father, although I love money, I never earn money that is ignorant of my conscience, this is the consultation money I deserve. "

"That's good," old man Ding sighed, and handed the deed paper to his daughter with his own hands. "Your mother and I miss you the most. Now that you have these properties, we can rest assured. Our Family, let’s divide it.”

Mrs. Lu still wanted to speak, but old man Ding stopped her with his hand, and said, "The branches of a tree are so crowded that they always fight if they are crowded together. It might be better to separate them."

Ding Wei also pulled the old lady and quickly persuaded, "Mother, the division of the family is just to divide the family property, not to divide people out. The eldest brother and the second brother may be more filial in the future. The Liang's shop must be divided between the two brothers. If you divide the money into three parts, you and your father can still leave a hundred and ten taels of silver, and the family still has eight acres of good land. Life is better than before. Besides, my house and shop in the city need my parents to help Take care, you can't be idle."

"Your father and I just checked the door and it's okay, how can we manage the shop?" Knowing that the separation of the family was a foregone conclusion, Mrs. Lu waved her hands in frustration, and finally sat on the kang and stopped talking.

On the other hand, old man Ding acted swiftly and resolutely. Now that he had decided, he would not delay any longer. He just took advantage of the fact that his daughter was at home today, so he could do everything that should be done.

Boss Ding and Mrs. Liu saw that their father had arrived at the shop, and asked him to go into the city to call the second family. They thought something serious had happened, and they didn't dare to delay. One hurried to the city, and the other hurriedly packed up and closed the shop.

After the two brothers returned to the old house with their wives and children, they found that Li Zheng and Mr. Sun were sitting in the main room. Even after a little guessing, the eyes couldn't hide their frighteningly bright eyes.

Mrs. Lu was still looking sleepy at first, and she was very reluctant to part with her son.But when he looked up and saw the appearance of the two daughters-in-law, his heart was also three points cold, and he tried to sit upright behind the old man, and finally thought about it and pulled the daughter to him.

Old man Ding said without waiting for the two sons to ask questions, "I have nothing else to do to call you back today. It is true that the family has a lot of property now, and your mother and I don't take care of it so much when we are old. Why don't you just ask Li is going to be a witness with your Uncle Sun, let's divide the family between your brothers."

"Ah!" Boss Ding and Second Ding were both surprised. Although they were busy with their own business and their daughter-in-law was often blowing the breeze by the pillow, they never had the idea of ​​separating.After all, the parents are still alive, how can the son leave the old man to live alone.

Thinking like this, the two wanted to refuse, but Liu Shi and Wang Shi didn't know when they came to the two of them, and each of them pulled their sleeves.

Liu's mouth was just to persuade, "Dabao's father, he must have thought about what he said, so you should listen to it first."

"That's right, shopkeeper, our family is in charge of our family, let's listen to our father." Mrs. Wang also hurriedly answered.

Old man Ding glanced at the two sons who were somewhat embarrassed, lowered his head and tapped the cigarette pot a few times, and sighed secretly in his heart.Finally, after a while, he said again, "The shop at home is now in charge of each of you, so I won't say much. Let's keep it for the family. Your mother and I will keep the eight acres of dry land at home. In [-], you will come back to help when the farming season is busy. As for the deposit of silver, it will be divided into three parts. Each of you will take a share..."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Father, the money in the family is earned by the second child. We should share more to be fair."

Mrs. Liu was thinking about it in her heart, and immediately retorted, "Sister and sister, you are wrong to say that. Don't tell me the pasta shop doesn't make money? The wood shop has only been open for a few months, but the pasta shop has been open for a year."

"Open a carpentry shop for a year and don't earn money for a month..." Wang wanted to say more, but was suddenly slapped by the livid-faced Ding Laoer, "Shut up!"

Boss Ding also gave Liu Shi a hard look, and finally looked at his younger brother. Both brothers knelt down with blushing faces.

"Father and mother, it's all because of the son's ineffective discipline..."

"You don't need to talk about it," old man Ding waved his hands weakly, "it's settled, let's divide the family property today. If you still care about your family in the future, you can take care of your sister and Brother An more. "

Lu's eyes were also red, and he choked up, "You are all grown up, and your father and I don't care about you. If you still have a conscience, come back and have a look."

"Mother, my son is not filial!" Boss Ding and Second Ding kowtowed to apologize, filled with guilt.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang didn't dare to speak again. If they dared to provoke again at this time, they would be kicked out by the angry man immediately.

Mrs. Lu didn't look at the two sons, opened the box and took out the account book, and said, "I'm afraid you know how much money you have in your family. You will get 150 taels for each of them. The second child lives in the city. What about the things in your house?" If you want to take it away, just take it away. If the boss doesn’t want to build a new yard, he will still live in the wing room, and your father and I will not evict him. But there are still eight acres of land in the yard, so don’t worry about it. In the future, when your father and I are old, read Whoever is filial will give this bit of family wealth to whoever. If you really have a horse, a high stool, and a short stool, you will have a place to eat and sleep when you go home."
