Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

After a tiring day, Xie Jiaojiao wanted to go to bed a long time ago, but the cold bed really made it impossible for her to sleep. It had been several days since she traveled through time and space, and not only had she not eaten anything, but she also had to wear and cover herself with so many things. Oh, it was tiring to talk about it.

Xie Jiaojiao misses the 21st century with WiFi and mobile phones very much.

She didn't know if she was drowned, and she didn't know what her parents and brother's reactions would be when they saw her body. When she thought of this, Xie Jiaojiao felt so unlucky and started crying. She was so unlucky. She worked so hard to get into a good university, and she worked so hard to gain a foothold in the city. She just bought a house, renovated it, and yet she hadn't even moved in, and now she was in this remote place.

As I was thinking about this, I fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, I was woken up by the crowing of chickens in the chicken coop in the backyard.

Xie Jiaojiao didn't want to get up. When she slept at night, the quilt was ice-cold. In the morning, she felt the quilt was just a little warm, and she wanted to get up again.

Xie Jiaojiao turned over, not wanting to get up anyway, until Xie Zhiyi knocked on the door: "Sister, get up, it's time for breakfast."

Xie Jiaojiao then got up reluctantly.

At the dinner table, Chen Hongju said sarcastically, "It's already noon, and my sister-in-law can really sleep."

Xie Jiaojiao ate the steamed bread while staring at Chen Hongju with amusement and asked, "Sister-in-law, you don't have a cold, do you?"

The people at the table looked at Chen Hongju. Chen Hongju glared at Xie Jiaojiao, lowered her head to eat her meal, and said nothing.

The whole family had just finished breakfast when the village chief came over.

Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili hurried to greet them.

Village chief Chen Shouren glanced at the two brothers, but didn't say anything extra.

Sun Ruhua pulled out a stool for the village chief and asked him to sit down.

Chen Shouren nodded slightly, and then asked: "Have you thought it through? As long as you are still alive, your family can remain together."

Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili both stared at Sun Ruhua, fearing that she would suddenly say that she would not split up the family.

Sun Ruhua shook her head: "Village Chief, I have already thought about it."

The two brothers looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Shouren sighed and took out paper, ink, brush and inkstone.

Sun Ruhua counted the family's fields carefully. The Xie family had ten acres of good farmland, six acres of second-class farmland, and two acres of land that was reclaimed at the foot of the mountain when Xie Zhen was still alive.

Then he went on to talk about the poultry at home: a pig, three hens, and a rooster.

Finally, there is this house. The Xie family’s previous houses were all sold to the village chief, so there are only these houses left in the yard, nothing else.

Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Zhishu, Xie Zhili and Xie Zhiyi.

"The land in this family was originally reserved for you three brothers. You will each get three acres of good land, and two acres of second-class land. The extra acre of good land will be left to me, an old woman, and the two acres of land that your father reclaimed at the foot of the mountain will be given to Jiaojiao."

Everyone was listening to it at the beginning, but in the end, Xie Jiaojiao was given two acres of land. Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili were unhappy, especially Xie Zhishu.

"Mother, Jiaojiao will get married in the future, why should we give her land? Besides, those two acres of land were reclaimed by me and my father." Isn't this a bargain for Xie Jiaojiao? Although the yield of these two acres of land is small, fortunately, I reclaimed it myself, so I don't have to pay taxes to the court. No matter how much I grow, it is my own.

Sun Ruhua said angrily: "What should we do? You three brothers divide up the family property and drive your sister out? She hasn't even married yet! How are you going to let her live?"

Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili stopped talking.

Chen Shouren looked at Sun Ruhua, who said directly, "Village Chief, let's do it!"

Xie Zhili spoke up at this time: "Mother, can you add one more thing? If my sister gets married, we will take back this land."

"Don't even think about it. If you don't agree, that's fine!"

The two brothers immediately showed proud expressions.

"If you don't agree, this family will not be divided."

How can that work!

Xie Zhishu hesitated for a long time and then said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, mother!" At worst, he could just go and open up new land on his own in the future.

Chen Shouren then continued writing.

Next was the poultry: "We only have one pig in the family. We can sell it during the Chinese New Year and divide the money. As for the hen, each of the three brothers will have one. I will keep the rooster so that it can hatch chicks next year."

No one has any objection.

What was left was the money Sun Ruhua earned from selling the land yesterday.

The first and second wives stared at the silver without even blinking.

Sun Ruhua said, "This is all the silver we have. I'll go to the town tomorrow to exchange it for copper coins, and then we can divide it up."

"Mom, why bother with so much trouble? It's just some coins, we three brothers can just divide it equally."

After hearing what Xie Zhili said, Sun Ruhua felt even colder in her heart. They didn't even consider her as a mother or her sister. They only thought about how they could get more.

As soon as Xie Zhiyi got the money, he gave it to Sun Ruhua.

Seeing that he was still young, Sun Ruhua accepted it for him.

Then there was the issue of Sun Ruhua's support. The eldest and second oldest brothers said directly, "We three brothers will take turns to take care of our mother, one room per month."

Sun Ruhua shook her head: "I'm following the third child. He's still young, and his father is gone. I'm going to raise him no matter what."

The first and second wives were very happy about it, so the matter was settled. Sun Ruhua said, "When I am gone in the future, this acre of good land of mine will be left to the third brother."

Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili disagreed, but their wives helped them, so they didn't say anything in the end.

Then there is the house. The Xie family's yard is quite large. Although all the houses are made of adobe and thatched roofs, there are so many houses that everyone divided them according to the house they live in now.

Finally, there is the grain harvested this year. This is easy to divide according to the population.

However, when distributing the food, Zhou Cuihong from the second wife said that it was not right for girls to get the food, which was directly criticized by the first wife and Sun Ruhua. Therefore, in the end, the food was distributed according to the number of people. There were fewer people in the second wife, so they got less, and they were very dissatisfied when the food was distributed.

Chen Shouren had also written the document and several brothers put their fingerprints on it.

Originally, Sun Ruhua wanted to invite the village chief to stay for dinner, but before she could say anything, the first and second wives happily returned to their houses with their own documents.

Of course, the village chief didn't want to stay. What good food was there in this separation meal? Besides, the Xie family was so poor that they sold their land yesterday. What good food could he eat here? It would be better to go home and eat.

As soon as the village chief left, Xie Jiaojiao felt that her adopted mother seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

Seeing Xie Jiaojiao's concerned look, Sun Ruhua shook her head and said that she was fine, then reached out and hugged Xie Zhiyi in her arms.

"Don't worry, Mom will definitely raise you."

Xie Zhiyi leaned in Sun Ruhua's arms: "Mom, don't worry, I will grow up in a few years, and I will support you then."

Sun Ruhua couldn't help but tears up her eyes.
