Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 128 The Tong family splits up ([-])

Tong Shiwang, Tong Shiming, and the village head Li Futian entered the Tong family's old house together. There must be witnesses in this branch, and Yun Hua invited them before.As soon as they entered the door, Mrs. Liu was talking just in time. As soon as Mrs. Liu saw them coming in, she stood up quickly, "Boss, uncle, village chief, please sit down quickly." The three of them made it to the edge of the kang.

"Shirong, I heard that you want to divide the family. How do you want to divide the family? Tell us about it." Tong Shiwang asked.

Tong Shirong repeated what he said just now, "Brother Hall, I mean not to be with them, but what the eldest daughter-in-law said is true. It will be a joke if the eldest son and grandson are not in front of them to serve them."

"Our rule here is that parents should follow the eldest son. Since Yun Bai is the eldest son, he should take on the responsibility of serving his parents. Shi Rong, there is something wrong with your division just now." Tong Shiwang said.

"Brother Datang, then tell me how I should divide it." Old Master Tong asked Brother Datang what he meant. He also meant to live his own life, but he also knew that it was impossible.What's more, with Qin's appearance, letting her cook and clean up the house by herself is really annoying.Besides, not being with his sons is indeed making people laugh at them for being unfilial. These are his own after all, so he is reluctant to let others say that.So I wanted to follow Tong Shiwang's words and come back perfectly.

"If it's what I want, the land will be divided equally between the three sons, and the house will be reserved for the one who lives with you. Then during the Chinese New Year, one pig will be killed and separated, and the other three will be separated. Give the two families a thousand catties of grain for temporary use, and then give them 30 taels of silver for the cost of building a house, which is almost the same. As for the pots and pans, just separate them. What do you think?" Tong Shiwang said .

"That's fine. Thirty taels are enough to build a house. A thousand catties of grain is enough to last for a while. After the autumn harvest, it's almost enough to distribute three or four thousand catties of grain to their family. This is comparable to Yun Song's original distribution. I took advantage of my old age when I went out." Tong Shiming also said.

"The two elder brothers are right. Then you three, who wants to live with us?" Mr. Tong asked the opinions of the three sons.

"Father, I'm the eldest son, it's time for me to live with you." Shi Liu kicked Yun Bai just now, so Yun Bai followed Liu Shi's wishes.

"Father, since elder brother said, we can't fight this matter with elder brother, let's go out and build another house." Yun Feng didn't want to spend time with Qin's.He has seen through his own mother, if he lives together, he will be spoiled by her, and he will have to kill his family in the future, besides, he dare not let Yuyan stay with the Qin family at all.

"Father, our Shuzhen is not yet full moon, and Shuzhen will also take care of the children next. I have to be busy with outside work, so I won't burden my parents. Since the eldest brother said that he wants to be with you, it's just right. The elder brother's family The children are all grown up, and my sister-in-law can take care of you and the old couple with peace of mind." Yun Hua didn't want to be with her parents even more.As for his older sisters, who came back to take advantage of it, did not do any work, did not have any food left, and had to carry it when they left. He didn't want to talk to those people.

"Since this is the case, then Old Brother Tong should live with Yun Bai and the others. Otherwise, such a big house can't be done without a fire, and you two old ones can't collect so much firewood if you burn it. Besides several sons, you It's a joke to live alone. Let's do it, let's get some paperwork, and then I'll take the time to separate the household registrations of Yunfeng and Yunhua." Li Futian also spoke. "However, Yun Bai, and Yun Bai's daughter-in-law, when you are with the old man, you can no longer be like before. You don't work, and you are noisy every day. It's not a passing day. If you dare to treat the old man badly, we But there is plenty of room for reasoning." Li Futian beat Yun Bai and his wife a few words.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, we will naturally treat our parents well. It is what the eldest son should do to provide for the elderly." Liu expressed his opinion on the side.

"In addition, Yunfeng and Yunhua, the two of you have to give five hundred catties of food and two sets of clothes to the elders every year, and there is no shortage of New Year's and festivals. If you agree, we will write a document." Li Futian said, Both Yun Feng and Yun Hua agreed.Li Futian took the pen and paper that Yun Hua handed over, and wrote the paperwork for the separation of the family, in quadruplicate, one for each of the old man and the three sons.Things have been done, Tong Shiwang and the others left.When he got out of the gate, Tong Shiwang shook his head, "Hey, Shirong, when I was young, I messed around, but when I get old, I'm afraid I can't do anything well. That Yun Bai's daughter-in-law is not a good person at first glance, and she will be with them in the future. Together, they were a little noisy. But Yun Feng and Yun Hua are quite smart, knowing that they have gone out before. Hey, I really don’t know what to do in the future.”

"Why are we worrying about it? We live our own lives, and the blisters on our feet came out by ourselves. The cause of the past and the result of today are not just because they are used to it." Tong Shiming couldn't understand this cousin the most.

In the east wing of the old house, Yun Bai and Mrs. Liu were chatting, "You said what happened to you, why did you change your mind? Didn't we agree to move out and live by ourselves?" Yun Bai complained about Mrs. Liu.

"You idiot, the old man and the old lady are greedy for the things left by the hall brother's parents, which is a lot of money. Besides, there is this house, can we build it directly? Can it be so strong? Besides, the old man and the old man When we are together, they have to be filial on New Years and festivals. At that time, there will be others? How about I say you are stupid, I can't even figure it out." Liu gave Yun Bai a blank look.

"Hey, if it wasn't for my daughter-in-law, I really wouldn't have thought of this. No, not to mention anything else, my mother has saved a lot of money over the years, and there is food. I'm afraid there is at least some food in our warehouse. What about [-] catties of grain. My daughter-in-law is smart, so my brains are for nothing." Yun Bai recalled.

Yun Feng and Yun Hua were discussing in the west wing room, "Second brother, what I mean is that the two of us build a house together, first build your house, and then build our house, while the weather is still warm, our Hurry up and start work. The autumn harvest will be in half a month, and we will be busy at that time, and no one has time to help."

"That's right, 30 taels of silver. Our two families are small, so we don't need to build too much. Three rooms, the money is enough. In my opinion, we all build bricks and tiles. It's too late to get rid of the blanks now, so it's better to build bricks and tiles." It’s solid.” Yun Feng also calculated that the cost of building bricks and tiles for a three-room house would cost more than 20 taels at most, and even 30 taels would not be needed to find helpers and pay some wages.

"That's right, build three rooms first, and when conditions permit, we can build wing rooms." Yun Hua also thought about it in her mind, and thought it was feasible. "Second brother, Shuzhen is still in confinement, so I will trouble the second brother to check the prices of bricks, tiles and stones. Let's prepare the materials as soon as possible. It is best to build it before the autumn harvest."

"Success, I'll go to the town to inquire now, you just need to take good care of Shuzhen at home." Yun Feng hurried out.

Not to mention the fact that the two brothers were busy building a house, people in the village heard about the separation of Tong's family, and there were many discussions.It is said that it is right to separate the family just like the Qin family.Some also said that Liu Shi and the old man were together purely for the money in Qin Shi's hands.But the most talked about is the harsh treatment of Yunsong's family by the old couple.When Yun Song separated, he almost left the house completely.Now that my son is separated, it is money and pigs, and I have thought of everything. I am afraid that these things are all left by Yunsong's parents.The Yunsong family listened and didn't say anything. They were fair and at ease, and they didn't lose anyone in the old house after the separation. It didn't matter to them how the old couple lived in the future.

Yuxian started to work again, and the schisandra in the forest began to mature again.This year, many children in the village looked at Tong's family and followed them to see what they were doing.Yuxian wasn't annoyed either, the woods belonged to everyone, so they had to let them go.I figured it out, and thought it would be appropriate to collect some schisandra from their hands. Anyway, there are plenty of them in the forest, and if you don't pick them, you will be blind.Therefore, Schisandra was collected for every penny and catty.Now, the children in the village will have something to do. They go to the forest every day after eating, and return to Tong's house in the afternoon. They can earn twenty or thirty yuan a day, which is more than that of a good laborer.Seeing that people were sending schisandra to their homes, Fang became a little worried, "Yuxian, you charge so much, can we make money?"

"Mother, the dried schisandra is ten yuan a catty. Three or four catties of this thing can be made for a catty. Even if the cost is four yuan, we can still earn six yuan. My master now has a medicine shop, and these medicinal materials are in short supply. It's a lot, charge more, it's okay." Yuxian settled the accounts to her mother. "It also saves us from going up the mountain. Brothers study every afternoon. We don't have much time to go up the mountain this year."

After hearing what her daughter said, Fang was not worried anymore.

After a few days, the wild grapes began to ripen, so Yuxian said that she would also harvest wild grapes.But the price will be lower, because mountain grapes are easy to pick and the quantity is large.In the end, we settled for three catties and two cents, but the only requirement is that the fruit must be ripe and there are no green fruits.Now the children will have more income. At this time, the people are still very honest, and they will do what they say, and the quality of the grapes delivered is good.Of course Yu Xian started to get busy with wine making, and Yun Song got a lot of jars back from the town, and everyone in the family was busy making wine.

The houses of Yun Feng and Yun Hua's house were also built very quickly, and the beams were going to be erected on the twelfth day of July.Yun Song didn't have time to help with the work before, but on the day of raising the beam, Yun Song also went to help.The rule here is to build a house and put beams on, and everyone in the village will come to help.The houses of Yunfeng and Yunhua are at the east end of the village, very close to the old house, and the houses of the two families are next to each other.All the strong laborers in the village came to help, and there were enough people, so the two families went to the beam together.Shuzhen is not yet confinement, so naturally she is still in Tong's old house. Shuzhen's two elder brothers have come to help for several days, and the second sister-in-law has also come to help take care of Shuzhen.Today, the banquet for Shangliang was placed in the courtyard of the new house, and the helping daughter-in-laws were all busy, and Fang's was the main stove today.Usually, she will help anyone in the village if there is something to do. This is a relative of her own family, and it will be bad if she doesn't come.
