One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

Chapter 7
Zhao Weitang cleared his throat, and took a look at Zhang: "Anyone in our village who has eyes can see what Hongxueniang is like in normal times, so I don't need to say more. Why is she relentless now? I think my cousin also has something in his heart." calculated."

Seeing Father Jiang nodded, he continued: "If it's because of this, it's really unreasonable to drive Hong Xueniang out of the church. If you don't listen to me, just follow her advice and separate their family, so as to save sister-in-law Say they eat plain rice."

Turning to look at the Zhou family again: "Hong Xueniang, don't be too stubborn, if you really want to sue your mother-in-law to the county government, it will not be good for you, the Jiang family or the children."

"Village Chief, I understand what you said." Zhou nodded: "But if I am softer, who do these children rely on? Their father is not here, and I am their backbone."

"I know you're doing it for the sake of the child, and I'm afraid I'm really mad at you this time." Zhao Weitang nodded, "I'll make the decision for you this time, and let you separate from the Jiang family. Are you satisfied with that?"

Mrs. Zhou also knows how to accept when she sees a good deal. In fact, she secretly blamed herself for being impulsive just now. If the Jiang family insisted on letting her go down, she would not even be able to give the children a place to live. But if the family is separated, it will be different. Give something to her and the child.

Seeing that both sides nodded, Zhao Weitang drove away the villagers at the gate of the courtyard and told them to disperse separately, while he followed Father Jiang and others into the main house of Jiang's house.

After entering the room, the three parties did not speak for a while, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

"Why don't you talk anymore, isn't Mrs. Zhou very good at talking outside just now?" Mrs. Zhang said meanly with her triangular eyes hanging, "You don't want to go back on your word, I tell you, no way! Our old Jiang The family does not support idlers."

"Eat idle food?" Zhou's eyes were burning, and her voice raised an octave: "Why don't we talk about what I do in Jiang's house for a day?..."

"Okay, shut up!" Father Jiang yelled.

Zhao Weitang also said: "What's the use of talking about it now, since we have decided to separate, cousin, how much do you plan to give Hong Xueniang and the others?"

"I..." Mrs. Zhang was about to speak again, but was stopped by Father Zhang: "Shut up!"

Then he looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Hongxue Niang, since you mentioned the separation first, tell me what you want." Father Zhou usually values ​​this daughter-in-law very much, so he asked her first.

"Since the family is separated, I won't open my mouth like a lion. I will give you a place to stay and food!" Zhou was not polite: "I also need a vegetable field."

Mrs. Zhang definitely wouldn't allow it, but with Father Jiang suppressing her and the village head Zhao Weitang watching, she didn't even give her a chance to speak.

Father Jiang thought for a while, then nodded: "Hong Xueniang, logic, your request is not too much, but you have also seen that there are only a few rooms in our house, and you keep saying that you don't want to be with your mother under the same roof ,this……"

"Old man, don't we still have three ancestral houses at the entrance of the village? There also happen to be two pieces of land next to it..." Mrs. Zhang approached her old man maliciously to offer advice.

After saying that, he glanced triumphantly at Mrs. Zhou: Aren't you going to separate the family?Let me see how long you can last?

Father Jiang frowned when he heard this. In fact, those three houses had not been lived in for a long time, and it was said that one corner of one had collapsed, making it uninhabitable; the two lands were so poor that there were no weeds. Long, not to mention growing vegetables!
He always felt a little uneasy about distributing the three daughter-in-laws and several children in this way, in case the third child came back in the future...

"Father, since mother means that, let's divide it up like this." Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes at Mrs. Zhang. Originally, she didn't intend to get any good place from this old woman. She knew that the three rooms were just broken. , is it biased?I have hands and feet, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support a few children. It is better than preventing the old woman from selling her children every day.

Father Jiang heard his daughter-in-law said so, so he was not embarrassed: this daughter-in-law is a sensible one after all.

Thinking of this in my heart, I felt a little guilty towards her, and turned to Mrs. Zhang: "Go to the warehouse and get thirty catties of rice, twenty catties of white flour for Hong Xueniang, and another three taels of silver."

"So much?" Mrs. Zhang immediately acted like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "There is so much food in the house, even if there is, you can't give them all. You are not separating them, you are separating our old Jiang's family. Give it to this bastard!"

"Don't talk about a slut, she is your daughter-in-law no matter what, the village head is still here, keep your mouth shut." Father Jiang snapped, "It's not that you don't know the situation of the house and land, no Give food, you mother-in-law, how many mothers are you really going to starve to death?"

At the end of the bargain, Zhao Weitang was involved in the bargaining, and Mrs. Zhang reluctantly took out [-] catties of rice and [-] catties of cornmeal.

As for the three taels of silver, she refused to give it no matter what, and in the end it was Mrs. Zhou who mentioned asking Mrs. Zhang to take Hongxue to see a doctor for treatment, so she took out half of the taels of silver from her.

Under Hongxue's reminder, Zhou asked for the deed and title deed of the house.Mrs. Zhang didn't want to give it, but with Zhao Weitang watching, she had no choice but to take it out.He cursed bitterly: "You guys won't starve to death!"

The Zhou family pretended not to hear, and moved out of Jiang's house with their children that day.

But she still underestimated the damage of the ancestral house. Of the three mud thatched thatched houses, the one on the left is half collapsed and useless at all. There are only two houses that can really live in. Because no one has lived in them for a long time, there is only one house. A table and a few stools were covered with thick dust, and the room was also full of cobwebs.

No wonder Mrs. Zhang is so generous!
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Zhou squatted in front of the three older daughters and asked, "Are you blaming mother?" She was impulsive. If she could bear it a little longer, she might not be kicked out.

"Mother, what are you talking about? I don't blame you!" Hongxue said immediately: "If it wasn't for Mother's argument, I don't know whether I should die or live now! If Mother backs down this time, maybe next time It's the second sister's turn, and then the third sister... In the end, our family may become the Jiang family's money-making tools, so mother, you are doing the right thing!"

Thinking about what her eldest daughter said, Mrs. Zhou also felt that it was reasonable. Anyway, now that she has come to this point, she has no way out, so she simply put away her sad emotions and started cleaning the house with her daughters.

"Sister-in-law three!" Mrs. Zhou rolled up her sleeves and was about to make a move when a timid female voice came in.

Mrs. Zhou left the house.

"Xiuzhu, why are you here? I'm not afraid that your mother will scold you again if she can't find someone!" To be honest, the Zhou family has no objection to this little girl, and she and her four younger siblings are the only ones who get along better on weekdays. But ever since the incident about Xue'er came out, she felt a little intimidated by this sister-in-law.
