Chapter 387: Not Afraid to Go Out
Wen Yao looked at the other families in Dashi Village who were enjoying the cool air not far away. From time to time, someone looked over here. Wen Yao smiled as she recalled the past, and then continued: [Da Hu originally wanted to tell the story of the ginseng, but when he heard that the family was going to be divided, he quickly stopped talking. It seems that he is a man who knows how to be cautious.]
"If it were you, I would just dig it up secretly and sell it, and keep the money for myself," Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, "Change the money into banknotes and hide it secretly, just in case of emergency."
Wen Yao gave Yinzhen a thumbs up and said, "Well done." Wen Yao didn't feel that she was unhappy because he didn't mention her. Yinzhen's behavior was in line with Wen Yao's own ideas. If she were Da Hu, she would do the same!
Although I am a little selfish, I feel very peaceful and secure in my heart!
At this time, when it comes to dividing the family at Old Man Shi's house, both sons don't want to do it. After all, as long as their parents are together, the family will not be divided. If they really divide the family, it will be the case that there are unfilial children in the family!
"Dad, Mom, if we make you angry, just beat us and scold us, or your son can help you beat us," Shi Datou was the first to speak as he knelt on the ground, his face showing panic.
Ertou didn't say anything but had the same idea.
Kneeling behind are the four grandsons, even though Sihu is not very old, he is only ten years old.
"We are dividing the family but not the households. Your mother and I will follow the eldest brother, and your family will be the one behind us, the land we bought five years ago. Now we have simply cleaned it up. Originally, according to our rules, we followed the eldest brother when we divided the family, which means that the eldest brother would get 70% and the remaining 30% would be given to you. However, because there is no house built on that piece of land, we will not follow the village's saying, that is, the money and land in the family will be divided equally between the two of you. Do you have any objections?"
Old Man Shi waved his hand, then looked at his two sons and told them what they had decided before.
Old Lady Shi spoke slowly at this time, "If you have any opinions, say them now. If you complain behind my back in the future, that would be unfilial. Your father and I don't recognize each other. When the time comes, go out and say it, you will be the ones who suffer!"
Shi Datou looked at his wife, and Shi Tan said, "Dad, Mom, we have no objection."
Ertou also looked at his wife, and Shi Wu quickly said, "Mom and Dad, Ertou and I have no objection. It's very fair for you to divide it this way, and no one can say anything."
Of course she had no objection. After all, the village generally followed a 7:3 ratio, or the eldest son with more sons had twice as many sons as the others. This was totally normal!
Now she can get an equal share, and also get the residential land at the back. She is very happy with such a good thing, so why would she have any objections?
"Since you all have no objection, let's do this. In fact, our family has no money left to support your studies. You are very clear about this," Old Man Shi sighed, "Now everything in the house is here."
Old Lady Shi took out an iron box and said, "Take a look, there are silver, money and land deeds. Divide them equally. The second oldest family, take everything from your house. You can live in that house first before your house is built. As for the pots and pans, they belong to the first oldest family. Do you have any objection to this?"
Shi Wu hurriedly said, "Mom, we have no objection," and poked Ertou, this thing that can't even make a fart with three sticks, say something! If you don't say anything, your parents will think you have a lot of resentment!
This is not presentable!
To have such parents and elder brother and sister-in-law must be a blessing that this man did in his previous life!
Shi Wu was a little angry, but she was no longer angry after a while. She was so angry that she laughed because he was smiling at her foolishly!
Shi Wu no longer wanted to speak, "..."
Shi Tan certainly had no objection. After all, these things belonged to their family. What else could she have an objection to? Moreover, Datou and her brother-in-law were brothers. There was nothing wrong in dividing these things equally. Giving up a little would make their relationship more harmonious. She believed that she and her husband would be able to live better and better.
The family split up very quickly and called the village chief that night. The news spread quickly in Dashi Village.
Yinzhen and Wen Yao also came over to join in the fun at the outermost corner.
The village chief saw that they really wanted to split up, but he still had to ask the right questions. He couldn't let the younger generation be slandered. Old Man Shi also appreciated it and said with a smile: "Excuse me, clan leader and elders. It's not about the two children. I think we have raised them. The whole family lives in a crowded place. We don't want to take care of them anymore. We just want to live a leisurely life. Our children and grandchildren are filial. In the future, we don't need to work hard on the farm from dawn to dusk."
These words made many families in the village envious. Who wouldn’t want to survive without farming?
The two families soon separated, and they specifically said that it was only a temporary separation of the family but not the household. They only temporarily changed the family tree and would not report to the government. The household would be completely separated after the old couple passed away.
Before dawn the next day, Kangxi saw the message sent by Yinzhen before going to the morning court. "It is a good suggestion that you can rest after completing the tasks in stages when serving corvée labor. This Xiaojiu is more considerate of the people than before."
Kangxi was about to put the memorial on the desk, but after thinking for a while, he took it in his hand. At the morning court session, Kangxi mentioned Yinzhen's memorial at the end, "Xiaojiu was able to have fun with the people during this investigation. He also saw that the farmers took a break every once in a while when working for their own families, and then continued to work. They did more work every day than when they were doing corvee labor."
"Rest when the weather is hottest, and work harder when it's a little cooler," Kangxi glanced at all the court officials, "What do you think?"
Yin? pouted in his heart, feeling very aggrieved. What do you mean by having fun with the common people? His ninth brother and his sister-in-law must have had a lot of fun!
If he hadn't been reluctant to give up the cement, he would have run away long ago!
After Ninth Brother comes back, he must go out for a while, otherwise he will not be willing to give in!
But if he could rest, why didn't he sleep in the house? It would be so comfortable with ice and a fan in the house!
No one knows about Yin? This divergent thinking, and the court is arguing again...
At this time, Yinzhen and Wen Yao had also woken up, because the villagers of Dashi Village had all gone to the fields, and the same was true for Old Man Shi's family. As for packing up things after the separation, that was all done when the sun rose and everyone was resting!
Yinzhen was very surprised by this, "I didn't expect them to get up so early, they get up earlier than me!"
"This is normal. I remember that during harvest time, people would start working in the fields before daybreak. Even after dark, they were still harvesting in the fields. This is perfectly normal," Wen Yao had some impression of farming as a child in her previous life. It was not as beautiful as described in the storybooks!
"There is a good phenomenon in Dashi Village, that is, people are not afraid to go out," Wen Yao smiled, and seeing Yin'er's slightly puzzled eyes, she wanted to continue explaining...
