Chapter 46 Making Requests

It is said that Wu Fu had just left the house when he saw that the Zhao family had come to him in a bad manner. He was stunned for a second, then turned around and ran back to report the news.

"Father, father, something is wrong." Wu Fu shouted before entering the door.

"What happened again?" Ye Tiezhu shuddered when he heard Wu Fu's voice, and sat on the kang. The Ye family couldn't bear the torment.

"You guys surnamed Ye, you all come out. It's a pity that I still treat you as relatives and good people. My daughter and uncle have only been lying down for a few days. You separated the family quietly and swept people out of the house. Pity me How will you live in the future with the children of your girlfriends?" The old lady Yu Shi started howling outside the door.

"Mother, don't talk nonsense with them. According to me, it's better to smash this house to pieces, so that no one can live a happy life." It was Mai Xiang's third uncle Zhao Yuanshan who spoke.

"No, in-laws, you guys are here, sit in the room first." Upon hearing this movement, Liu Shi had already come out, and stepped forward to hold Yu Shi's hand.

Qian and Sun saw each other's posture, they were more powerful than their own family members, and if they really wanted to fight, they would definitely suffer a disadvantage, so they quickly laughed and said: "The in-laws and aunts take a breath first, and the in-laws and brothers sit down first." Drink some water, come and see how my elder brother's family is living now, and you will know whether the separation is good or bad."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun hurriedly pointed to the things on the ground and on the kang for everyone to see. Mrs. Qian then said: "If you don't believe my relatives and aunts, you can go to my room now and see what we eat. Don't look It’s a separation, the house elder takes the lion’s share, the money elder takes the lion’s share, everything can come first, and we didn’t take advantage of it at all.”

"Bah, what you said sounds good. The house takes up most of the money. Why don't you say that my uncle built the few side rooms in your house by himself, and the money took most of the money? Why don't you say that my uncle earned it? Now I Uncle has become a useless person, you think he is a drag on you, and the old people have provoked him to leave him early, so that you can live a leisurely life by yourself, you still look at us and don't know."

Mrs. Yu spat according to Mrs. Qian, but it was okay, just a little saliva flew over, and there was no thick phlegm. Even so, Mrs. Qian also felt sick and annoyed. There were seven or eight strong laborers standing beside Mrs Yu, so Mrs Qian had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Mai Xiang wanted to go forward to persuade her, but thinking about what Qian had done just now, she also felt that it would be good to let her suffer a bit, and see if she dared to take advantage of her own family in the future!
"Mother, stop talking nonsense, we will smash whatever you say." It was still Zhao Yuanshan who spoke.

Mai Xiang saw that Zhao Yuanshan was similar to her own mother, Zhao Shi, with a single-minded fiery temper and no heart.

"Dear family, if you have something to say, sit down and talk carefully, slowly." Ye Tiezhu hurriedly persuaded, and at the same time gave Bafu a wink, Bafu quietly retreated to the door, and ran out to call someone when everyone was not paying attention.

"Mom, you guys are here, you don't know, we are the living dead now, who will treat us as human beings, our big girl finally earned a few big money, bought a few eggs for me and The child's father was trying to make up his body, and the child's second aunt took advantage of our inability to get off the kang and snatched a few away. This was not enough, and she even dug up a scoop of rice from us. No, she was arguing with her, mother, we are angry. . " Seeing her natal brothers, brother-in-law, brother-in-law and nephew all come to support her, Zhao complained about her suffering with snot and tears.

"Ah, that's okay! Really bullying our old Zhao family is empty? Boss, you brothers, go and get the things back." When Yu heard that her daughter was angry, she hurriedly ordered her sons.

People in the countryside generally value eggs very much, and for two cents a piece, the eggs laid by their own chickens are not willing to eat easily, let alone spend money to buy them, so when Mrs. Yu heard that this brother-in-law dared to rob his daughter The rations used to replenish the body, can you still not get angry?

"Auntie, I'll send this back to you, send it back." Qian Shi was frightened when she heard this, and before anyone else could move, she ran back to the house to get a few eggs and a scoop of rice.

"Ye, today you must give me an explanation, how and why this family is divided, and how my grandchildren will live in the future. Don't forget, this is the grandson and granddaughter of your old Ye family's direct relatives. Wow..." Shi Yu took off her shoes and got on the kang, patted her thigh and cried.

"Grandma, hooo, grandma..." Seeing Mrs. Yu and the others coming, Mai Qing's second aunt quickly returned the things, and took Mrs. Yu as her relatives as a backer, hugging Mrs. Yu and crying.

"Sister-in-law, I just heard about the second daughter-in-law, so I came here to talk about it. This separation is what the big guys mean, and there is nothing we two old people can do..." Liu hurriedly explained the separation of the family. The cause and how to divide the family were told.

"It's true that it's not a big loss. I know that Da Ya has some ways to make money, and she also agreed to split the family..." Liu Shi didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Yu Shi again.

Mrs. Yu grabbed Mrs. Liu's chest with her hands, and cursed: "Hey, don't just pick up nice words, your daughter is several months older than my granddaughter, why don't you let her try to support the family and let her earn money?" Try some money? Are you fooling a fool? Our big girl can support the family, you go out to earn money and try to support the family. Whose ten-year-old child can support the family? You have so many sons and daughters in your family. I want my ten-year-old granddaughter to support the family. Is your Lao Ye family all dead or disabled? Why are you dumb? You talk..."

Mrs. Liu was dragged by Mrs. Yu. Ye Tiezhu and Wu Fu wanted to help, but they were stopped by a few big guys from the Zhao family. In addition, it was not easy for them two men to fight with a woman, and Qian and Sun Although they are close, they also feel that Sa Po is not Yu's opponent, and no one is willing to go forward.

When Mai Xiang saw Mrs. Liu, she seemed to be out of breath. She knew Mrs. Liu's health was not good. After the separation these days, she was struggling to do housework, so she went forward and rescued her from Mrs. Yu's hands .

"Grandma, please speak up if you have something to say, my mother is not in good health." Mai Xiang said.

Ye Tiezhu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, if you have anything to say, just say it well and don't do anything."

"Okay, just say it well, I won't leave if you don't give me an explanation today." Shi Yu patted her thigh again.

At this time, two blessings and three blessings also rushed back from the field, and by the way, they asked Bafu to invite the head of the village.

The two families finally sat on the big kang in the upper room, the head of the village was in the middle, looked at Mrs Yu and asked first: "Auntie, this family has already been divided, and each has registered household registration. There is no way to go back on this, you If you have any other requests or ideas, why don't you let me know and see if my Uncle Ye's family can agree?"

The head of the village also felt that the Ye family had separated the family in such a hasty and hasty way, and it was a bit against human reason to leave the eldest family out, so his words were a little partial to Ye Dafu, not to mention, after so many years, who is Ye Dafu in Huangye Village? I don't know?
Mrs. Yu blew her nose when she heard this. Mrs. Liu is a clean person. Seeing that her tears and snot were about to be thrown on the bed, she hurriedly handed over a handkerchief. Mrs. Yu was not polite, took it and wiped it carelessly, then threw it Gave it to Liu Shi.

"My request is also simple. I just heard that my uncle has two acres of good land, and these two acres of land are in the hands of his in-laws. I mean, these two acres of land are planted by his in-laws, and he will give my uncle four shi of grain a year." , this amount of food is far from enough to eat. In addition, you make up four stones of food a year, and you also have to arrange for vegetables, firewood, and water. My daughter and uncle can't get off the ground. Let’s carry water and chop firewood.”

Mrs. Yu discussed it with her son and daughter-in-law at home. It is estimated that eight stones of grain can almost fool this family into half-satisfaction. If there is too much, the Ye family can't afford it. They can feed themselves, and let Ye Dafu make up the rest for Mai Xiang to sell to earn some oil and salt money.

Seeing that Yu's request was reasonable, the chief looked at Ye Tiezhu, who lowered his head.
